spection of the troops and quarters.
The chief criticism of the national
guardsmen brought to the post here is
the filthy condition of the uniforms
and equipment worn at inspection and
the Third made special effort to over
come this objection. When the com.
panies had fallen in for the ceremony
of inspection a finer appearing body of
men was not to be found in camp and
the condition of the quarters was
above criticism. The most strenuous
days program comprised outpost duty

of the post from the attack Of the en-
tire Michigan brigade or brown army,
under Gen. Bates. No general engage
ment was fought but firing was in
dulged in by the outposts of the de
tenders on all sides. But the enemy
found all vulnerable points too strong
ly supported to risk an attack in force
and the umpires finally ordered the
troops back to camp.
