10Th Regiment, aud as the German boys took pos

"Ihe Girl | Left Behind Me-" The men,
bers of the 18th Regiment were
ordered to report at the armory at Grand and Lud-
lOw-sts.. New-York, at 10 o'clock this morning.
The prompness with which the order obeyed
was thoroughly military. No announcement was
made of the boat which would convey the regiment
to It's destination. Of the pier from which this I'M

arnory. At precisely II o'clock Colonel Frederick
Unbekant discounted from his horse at the gang

Broome-st. pier. In fifteen minutes more his entire
command had embarked and the steamer was I'M
der way. Out of total of 426 officers and men, IN
GLIDING the band and drum corps, $50 reported Tor

composed Of hard-WOrkIng men, many OF Wnom

lent one.
