The men of the details were little rusty
in 5a,. work of guard mounting, but they
soon got into it all right. Many of the
recruits of the companies were on hand,

meeting of the officers of the battalion
as held Yesterday afternoon at the office
n If Col. A. r. Lawton. Nothing definite
q ras known as TO the time the battalion
will move to the rendezvous, and no orders
I had been received as to the time the move
rput is to take place. For this reason
tbe officer were in the dark and they could
take no action on any of the questions
that vel remain TO be settled with refer
q ence TO the departure of the commands
They were glad to learn that orders will
a h. issued tomorrow, as the battalion has
almost enough men enrolled now to think
4 about getting on TO the camp.
The Greens have eighty-three men en-
rolled. but some of them will doubtless be
thrown out by the examining board or the
mastering officers so the Greens may be
looked upon, their officers say as having
lust about the number required. Other
men will be received yet. If applications
are made. however and the company will
thus get the best men possible.
The Republican Blues have seventy
three. men enrolled. They are next to the
Greens No trouble is anticipated by the
Blues in bringing their number up to that
required. The Cadets have between sixty
and seventy men on their roll. The Ger
man Volunteers have forty-six, but Capt.
Kolshorn expects he will now get in a
number of men al once. He was approach
ed Yesterday, when he was about to de-
spair of getting enough men, by a num-
Der of the old members of the company
They wanted to know what was the mat
ter with the Germans and said they were
ready to volunteer with them 10 maintain
the splendid record that has been made
nv the company. Capt. Kolshorn was very
grateful 70 them for their expressions and
he was greatly cheered. He put the mat
ter before his company last night in a new
Hght, and the, men were greatly pleased
al the prospects of yet getting in the bat
talon.
In this issue of the Morning News Capt
Kolshorn publishes call for volunteers
for his company. He expects to nave no
difficulty with the many protfers of aid
he has had. in now running his enrolment
sheet up to the number required.
1t is probable Mr.. M. G. Helmken will
be Appointed first lieutenant of the Ger
mans. His name was brought before the
company last night, and was enthusiastic
cally received. The men want him, and
the colonel will recommend his appoint
ment by the Governor. Mr. Helmken was
formerly first lieutenant of the company.
