Major Lucas had difficulty in getting
suitable mount, and the boys of H and
E companies hearing of this, raised a
purse and had the majors horse shipped
to him by express from Arlington.
The Third will be the banner regiment
of the o. N. g., in point of attendance,
orderly bearing, and discipline. This is
the opinion of an officer of high rank, who
has already seen the battalion at drill.
The conduct of the boys in camp, has
been most exemplary and there has been
no use for the guard house. Although
nearly $50 men were given passes last
night, all were back before their time
expired.
