 The train, consisting of four pas senger coaches aud one combination car was beautifully decorated with streamers of red. white and blue and banners with appropriate inscrip- tions along their sides. The run to AlbnqueFque will be made in these cars without change.
 The combination car was filled to overhowing with edibles for the use on the trip. some $500 or $500 hay jag been raised by subscription yes terday within few hours, with which these supplies were purchas- ed. A large number of hams were purchased and boiled. Also a lot of fresh mutton, a barrel of pigs feet, pickles by the case, canned fruit of all kinds, a cart load or so of bread, and other things too numerous to mention. was included in the list; while as luxuries there were 300 corn cob pipes. several caddies of tobacco and three barrels of bottled beer.

 While the train was scheduled to leave at 6 o'clock it was 7il5 before it pulled out of the depot. Eugin- ger Giles pulled out very slowly until the train had passed through the cut in the yards, while a perfect sea of handerchiefs and parasols were waved in the air and a chorus of shouts went up from hundreds of voices. r
 As ths train was about to depart, the volunteers expressed themselves as being overwhelmed with the rousing farewell demonstration ac= corded them by our people, and said it would ever be remembered by them wherever the fate of war might carry them.
 The old war spiri. was revived in the hearts of the veterans of tn 3 war of the rebellion, and those of both sides turned out in force to emphasize the cordial farewell ten dered to the young volunteers.
