were furnishe d by Mr.. Ira c. Hayward,
of this place, and the officers and men are
united in their praise of his admirable ar
as we'll IS for the quality aud
quantity of the rations provided.
The regiment went though the usual
outline of guard mounting, battalion drill
and dress parade, and acquitted them. :
'elVea more than croditably. This was
be first occasion upon which the com.
2anies bad drilled together as battalion,
many of the companies having been re-
emily organized aud having but little if
my opportunity for even company drill,
ne company, West Rutland, having re-
eived their equipments only on Monday
vening. Under these circumstances. =.
heir fine soldierly appearance, and their
'reciseion and accuracy in drill and
marching was remarkable, and reflected s
.rest credit alike on the officers and men. v
'ol. Warren expressed himself as highly v
ratified, as well as surprised, at the pro-
cheney the officers and men had already O.
,tained, and their general good conduct Al
nd soldierly bearing. K
The rain poured down through tbe 6
'tir' day, giving the officers and men &
ush intro uo'icn TO camp life; but they II
IRE II as so!oicr- ,houlA, IS a military OF
'cessity' aud marched through rain and la
nd, apparently without a thought of ar
scomfort and intent only on duty. At
,e o'clock the battalion was dismissed

rough some of the principal streets of it,
e village, after which they dismissed tin
= the day. H

bly, with our own companies Pr
