First Maryland Regiment
To Be Mustered Out of
Service. Company E.,
Will Soon Be Back in
ElktOn.

Elkton and the rest of Ceci. county will
now have to make preparations to welcome
home the soldier boys. Orders We're issued
by the War Department on Wednesday, Tor
the mastering out OF the First Maryland vol
unteers, now encampcd at Augusta. Georgia,
and that the announcement caus ed the great.
est JOY in camp is only putting it mildly NO
time has been fixed for the mastering out to
begin, but it will not be long before Company
E., is again occupying its armory in Elkton.
Paymasters will be directed to prepare for
the payment of the troops Mt once, so that no
delay may follow in returning the men to
their homes.
The officers of Company E of Elkton, are ;
William A. Wright, Captain; George l.
King, First Lieutenant John E. Wilson,
Second Lieutenant. William Miller has just
been promoted to First Sergeant. John Ii.
Constable, of Ekton, is Second Lieutenant OF
Company G.
Governor Lowndes expressed himself as
being much gratiled with the news that the
First Regiment would soon be mustered out.
He is highly grati1ed at the manner in which
the men of the First Regiment have conducted
themselves while in the service of their coun-
try, and thinks that as war had ceased and
many Of them are desirous of returning to
their homes, the action of the War Depart
ment in mastering them out will meet with
general approval.
A dispatch from Augusta, stated that the
welcome news went through camp like Wild
fire, and produced the widest excitement. 1t
was joyful news especially to the privates
and non-commissioned officers, and cheers
rang out in all the company streets. The
prospect that the boys would now soon again
see their loved ones at home, raised the spirits
of all, and the humble routine OF camp was
performed with unusual a,acrty.
If there was any fighting to be done the
boys would have been glad enough to go to
the front and uphold the high reputation OF
Maryland soldiers.
The people of Augusta are sorry to hear the
news. The Maryland Regiment is without
doubt the most popular there, and it will be
great loss to the city to have it depart.
