mustered into the United States service, and
also mustered in for pay.
The men will get paid this week or next
and he has made arrangements with Messrs
Mitchell Lynde to pay here any sums his
soldiers may spare tor their families.
lie requests all persons who have board
bills, or any other bills for recruiting service
against his company, to hand them to him
this week, rcccipted, and he will have them
audited and paid in Chicago.
There is still room in his company for a
few more good men-he wants no other, for
his company, in point of health, muscle, cour.
age or drill has no superior in camp Aud
we do not believe there is an officer in Camp
Douglas who is the equal of Lieut. John W.
Gregg, as Il drill master
Capt. Gregg has with him complete sets
of new uniform for all recruits as fast rs they
are sworn ill., Those who wish to serve the
union in ii splendid brigade and under such
leaders as Mullgan and Gregg, should make
haste to join Capt. Gregg's company.
