The citizens of the town held an in-
prumptu meeting in the Court House on
Saturday morning to arrange for the de-
tails looking to the extension OF the |
proper courtcsies to Governor John
pcctcd to visit the encampment. General

After some little discussion the following |
resolution was adopted and a copy of it
transmitted to the Governor:
That we express our qualification at
the proposed visit of the Governorto the
cncampment of the First Maryland Rcgi- |
mcnt, and the chair is authorized to ap-
point a committee OF ten citizens to en-
tend to him the proper courtesies i'll the
event of his visit to the camp; and to
convey to him the earnest desire of our
citizens that he be present"
The chairman appointed the following |
committee: Thomas H. Robinson, Steven
son a. Williams, n. y. Mock, William II.
Harlan, Willard G. Rouse, Walter W.
Preston. Col Ohio S. Lee, George y.
Maynader, Noble L. Mitchell and Samuel
W. Bradford. On motion General Her
man Stump was made chairman of the
committee ex. oificio.
Much to the regret of ever one, Cover
nor Smith was compelled to decline the
invitation.
The boys have deported themselves
about town in an orderly manner except
i'll some few cases. The officers have been
jealous to prevent disorder and have
established provost guard. Each night
at 10. 80 the streets have beeen cleared of
all soldiers, who were compelled to re-
turn to the camp. A few ofthe stragglers
were too alert however, and later when
| found they were compelled to spend a
few hours i'll the guard tent for disobe-
dicnce to rules. The officers have been
exceedingly cordial towards the residents
OF the town and have cntertaineda mum.
Der of ladies. On Thursday night a dance

Rooms of the Masonic Temple. Music
was furnished By the Fifth Regiment
| Band The patrnnesses were Mesdames
II. G. Rosan, Joseph A. Harris, J. 7. {.

liam S Forwood, Jr., Thomas IL. Robin
son, Willard G. Rouse and Walter W.

Since the encampment has begun the
soldiers have made n marked improve
nent in drilling and general knowledge
of military tactics. They have showed
great inclination to learn and thereby
demonstrated the material of which the
regiment is composed. The officers feel
very mitch pleased with the substantial
progrcss, which has been made, and are
Jealous i'll their efforts to bring the rcgi-
ment up to the highest possible stand.
