MAINE TROOPS HOME.
The First Maine regiment arrived home
from Chickamauga Saturday, and is now
in camp at Augusta. 1t was just three
months since the troops marched away
from home, and though they have seen no
service at the front, disease and the
hardships of camp lie have made their
mark on the troops, and the men who
marched home would hardly be recog-
nized As the ones who marched away.
The people who gave them an enthu-
siastic "send-off' gave them an even
more enthusiastic reception on their re-
turn home.
The order to muster out the Maine reg
iments has been given, and in a few days
this will be done.
