on the part OF the army Is wanting. Our full
quota Is already on the road, and before anoth-
er saturday night there will be many happi-
ly disappointed hearts in Maine.
According To appearances there is to be no
difficulty in keeping the ranks of this home
department of the army "full" and well "clos-
ed up" The second batch of applications is
all ready for the gantlet of ''red tape" SO soon

During the inactivity consequent upon the
rain, snow and mud, of the last three weeks,
home aud friends have been frequently thought
of, and much discussed. The panic will
subside when dry weather admits of the Gus
tomary company and battalion drills.
With the furloughs granted enlisted men,
quite number of discharges have been inter
mingled. In this act the welfare of the indi-
vidual and the army are both secured. as the
cases are those Of permanent disability. A
sad case occurred yesterday. One of our most
worthy men, private Worthing, of Co. H.. had
been running down with chronic diarrhea. Ap-
pication was made for discharge, and the
papers were set in motion ten days ago. In
the interim of suspense he had been patient
and even cheerful but when he was at liberty
to go, it was larger freedom than his nervous
system could bear, and in few hours he was
forever at home.
The regiment numbers 695 men for duty.
There are absent twenty in the regimenta
hospital, and an equal number sick in quarters
Can any regiment of the same age show bet
ter record? 1t is matter Tor gratitude rather
than for Boosting. The measles have appear
ed in occasional instances among us, but do
not spread as they have in other regiments.
