GERS and Eighty Two Men in the
Organization-AC Complete Roster
of the Command-The Boys Given
Great Send-Of.
At least thousand people gathered
at the Baltimore and Ohio depot at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the departure of Company +,
Fourth United States Volunteer In
camp of the regiment at Fredricks-
burg, Va, and the command was
greeted most enthusiastically. The
public interest in the soldiers was
very marked, and the incident of the
departure og the men served more
than anything which has occurred
since the outbreak Of hostilities, to
bring the fact home to our people that
the country is engaged in war.
AS was announced yesterday morn
ing, the command was summoned to
report at eleven o'clock in the morn
ing, and the seventy-five men who had
been accepted and sworn in Tuesday
were promptly on hand. Additional
recruits were examined during the
morning, to bring the number up to
the maximum of eighty-two privates,
and this number was not only secured
without trouble, but at least twenty
good men were turned away, they hav-
ing applied too late. The succeeding
hours until the middle of the afternoon
were occupied in having the men sign
muster rolls in duplicate and in the
observing of the necessary formalities
incident to the enlistment by the re-
cruiting and company officers. Many
papers had to be drawn up and signed,
to be forwarded to the War Depart
ment, and this work was not fully
completed until half-past three o'clock.
During the early portion of the after
noon the Market street headquarters
was crowded by the men of the COM
mand and their relatives and close
friends, and there were a number OF
