The grand military ball at Meionaon Hall
Tuesday evening was brilliant affair. There
were just enough present to ill without
crowding the hall, and everything passed off
cheerfully. The hall was elegantly decorated
with bunting, flags, guidons, sabres, &C., and
upon the stage behind the band was genuine
A tent. The company looked as elegant as
the hall, and with good music, good order and
excellent refreshments, it is no wonder every
body had the best time of the season.
A letter received from Col Beal, of the Goth
Regiment, reports their safe arrival at Frank
lin, La, where they were pleasantly located
department very much. The regiment is at
present assigned to the I'd Brigade, LIST Divis-
ion Of the 18th Army Corps, and its post office
address is New Orleans. The Both Regiment
was encamped in an adjoining field, and the
18th and 18th were every day expected from
Texas, so that there is likely to be plenty Of
Maine troops in that neighborhood.
The re-enlisted men of the Sth Regimen,
arrived here by special train yesterday morn
ing about o'clock. They were escorted to
Camp Keyes by the Augusta Band and others
under command of Adjutant General Holds
don, who had patiently waited all night at
the depot to receive them. Substantial fare
was awaiting them at their quarters, which
they partook of with relish, without the
seasoning of tiresome speeches.
Yours, truly, HEILos.
