day. This is pretty good marching for green
troops. The detachment ia under the com.

companies is the one organized at Nevada.

The Bulletin, referring 10 the march. says:
"The men stand the tramp remarkably we'll.
There are few foot-sOre, Of course but the
majority Of them, relying upon = stout h:art
and ditto shoes, march gaily along. The route
step enables us all to crack our jokes and sing
our songs, and thus enliven the way. Each
company takes the lead from day to day, and
the head Of the column pays off its obligations

will. The City boys (Capt. Roberts men from
SacramentO) have pitled themselves against
