resolutions regarding the free silver bin introduced

we request AL Union soldiers 10 unite with as IN
condemning the passage Of said bills for we consider

detrimental 10 all Union soldiers their widows

ln Circular No. ! Department Commander
Daniel Hail. with Headquarters at Concord. says,
regarding the National 8noRmpment; The Depart
meut officers generally will be quartered at the
Riggs House In connection with Headquarters;
ana a lew rooms there have been engaged al - per
day for each OF two persons, and for four days sub
lect TO release hereafter, II not wRntedl. lew
more rooms can be had upon the same terms, II
applied for soon. The Commander therefore par
hculRrly requests all comrades who wish accom-
modations al the Riggs House upon these terms to
signify their wishes 20 that effect 10 the Assistant
Adlulant-Ge at the earliest possible day. We
cannot undertake 10 engage rooms elsewhere
although we suppose that can be done under the
limitations herein set forth. As the dictate Of his
best Judgment OF the situation the Commander
recommends that the comrades who intend TO go
TO the EucHmpmcnt concentrate themselves IA
large bodies both for transportation and for guar
tiers in Washington. lie means 10y this that they
60 together as large Posts, or as combination OF
several Posts and then secure accommodations
not as a whole Department but as separate bodies,
each numbering perhaps from 80 10 200 men. For
example, q D. suggested that all the Posts "a Srai-
ford aud Carroll Counties regard Sawyer Post,
Dover as their nucleus, aud organize with and
around tiOr the above purpose; all ln lower Rock
lHgham with Portsmouth; ~ lower Hlllsborougll,
aud perhaps Cheshire. with Nashua: those in this
neighborhood with Manchester; about Concord
with Concord; and 50 on la respect TO keenc, Glare
mont, Lebanon, LRcOnia, Lttlcton, etc, thus
making or 10 attachments, which may he more
conveniently provided with transportation and
other accommodations. The Commander earnestly
desires these Post organizations or associations TO
ascertain the number FOR whom they desire accom-
modations and Of what kind aud to inform the
Assistant Acknowledgement at Concord as soon ns
possible, so that transportation and quarters may
be secured. il Is obvious that the sooner appica-
ton Is made the better the chance Of obtaining
satisfactory CcommOdatOns. Every Post and
every Association Of comrades u earnestly re-
quested 10 do this with the least possible delay.
