later than o'clock all will be moving.
There will be three sections. Head

companies G, d and G., the second Sec
ton, and Companies f, F and a, the
third section, The boys feel as though
they were cutting themselves awav
from home and old-time friends. They
will not soon forget the kindnesses and
the hospitabiity of the people of
Augusta.

was appreciated. The fever was con-

the temptation to join in the celebra-
| tion. They left their camp on run
and Joined the Ohioans. AS both regi-
ments passed through the Thirteenth
| the boys turned out in force.
THE visitors repeatedly gave three
| ringing cheers for the Thirteenth and
wished it a fond farewell. They then
marched to the lines of the Fifteenth

| of soldiers had been allowed to pass
| since the trouble of a few weeks ago,
! but tonight in honor of the occasion,
| this rule did not hold. The Mime

a few minutes returned, shouting for
| the Pennsylvanians and singing their
| praises as soldiers and companions.

in the peaceful Fountain City. The
boys are all in good health, we'll be-
haved and in excellent spirits. They
are happy beyond the power of words
to explain and universal good will pre-.
