The Flint Evening Journal of the 18th
inst. says:
zone of the funny things of the excursion
Is that GOV. Alger was very anxious to go on
the excursion and also very DESTROYS of Join
ing the boys at Flint, but there was large
amount of work at Lansing and they wanted
to keep him there until tonight and then let
him go to Detroit and go with the delegation
from that point The General said he would
sit up all night and sign bills in order to get
to Flint in the morning, and Col. Long hear
ing this, issued his special order No 3S, in
which Russell A. Alger is appointed special
aid on the commanders staff, with the rank
of Lieut. Colonel, and ordered to report at
