Six bands have already reported as COM
ing to the reunion and transportation is
provided for them on the roads free Of
charge. As many more like organizations
are liable to be here at that time.
We learn that Hon. L. p. Poland, NJ c.,
is to be in attendance, which adds another
to the notables of the state whose presence
will be matter of much congratulation to
the old soldiers.
DIR. A. T. Woodward of Brandon who
has been appointed surgeon in chief upon
the staff of Major Salisbury has responded
to the call and will be ON hand. The doc
tor is one of the best physicians in the state
and won an enviabe notoricty as surgeon
during the war.
A company has been recruited in White
hall, and another is authorized in Granville,
N. Y, of soldiers of the late war, to part-
cipate in the reunion and he attached to
the Rutland County Battalion.
A number of citizens from Woodford, in
intention of attending the reunion.
The old soldiers of Manchester are to
meet on Saturday evening next at the Col
burn House for the purpose of elcctng
the officers of the company and making the
arrangements for attending the reunion.
The following message was issued on
Yesterday and every old soldier should read
and move into line:
HEADQUARTERS VERMONT
REUNION FORCES,
RUTLAND. July 31.)
General Order.
SOLDIERS THE committee to whom
were intrustcd the arrangements for the
Soldiers Reunion, have performed their
duty so far as possible at the present time.
The circulars and orders issued constitute
full instructions, and show the complete
ness of the arrangements.
The magnitude of the project rendered
it necessary that it be carried out by the
aid of organization. This has been done
solely for the purpose of convenience and
economy, as stated at the outset, and not
to abridge the freedom of the men.
The formation of battalions as to num-
Der and size of companies. is left to the
discretion of battalion commanders and
they can organize companies of less than
twenty-five men if they deem it best.
While the utmost freedom in camp Is
one of the features of this occasion, the
committee would call the attention of COM
rades to the fact that the idea has been eX-
pressed in some localities that soldiers in
such numbers as this reunion promises
could not assemble without danger to the
public peace, and that such camp would
present scene of riot and dissipation. II
therefore remains for the men assembling

credit to them this encampment will prove
that the citiZan soldiers, who now enjoy
the peace they fought to win, have not for
gotten how to conduct themselves boil
as gentlemen and soldiers.
Every effort has been made by the com
mittec to render the occasion as agrccabl,
and economical rs possible, and it rest!
now with the soldiers to make it one of tho
pleasantest excursions they will ever have
the opportunity to enjoy.
No one should stay away because moi
connected with a company, all will have
opportunity for that if they so desire. upon
arrival at Rutland.
Let us close up the ranks and move into
line.
