The companies of the Third Regimen, sent
hone the following sums Of money respec
lively: A, s.44 o.; b, S67s A.; c, $500 90;
ID, sI42 90; L, ss07 50; +, $67s Al; G, S6s9 20;
IL, si65 90; l, 500 %; h, $500 00;-Totsl,
$6,7s4 l2. The above Includes only that for.
ward.d by the enlisted men. From data 10 our
possession, We estimate that the officers sen.
home additional sum of S4,75t W making a
grand total Of sll,:34 ~. 1t must be consid-
cred that this large sum was sent home ou. OF
| the savings OF the last two months, and that the
men had to purchase many articles of winter
clothing that are not furnished by the Govern
ment, which will reduce the earnings of this
pay day much below the average. By the use
o. little arithmetic, it can be readily calculated
the approximate sum that would be sent to
Michigan by the $4,000 OF her sors nov in the
army, and the immense sum tha. would be sent
North by the coo, 900 in the service from III,
loyal States Surely there is bright side to thi:
war. Capt. Stuart, Lieuts. Baker, CaIkins arc
Weboer, paid visit. They all appear as il
they enjoyed lie in tie army. They report thei
commands i'll good health, aud spirits. "Julia,
OF East Windsor, Eaton CO., will accept IL,
thanks of a number of the boys, for some excel

particularly fond OF receiving the mitten, still in
