the field before duly authorized elec

vote shall be mailed by the men to
the precinct in the state where they
are legal voters.
The matter of the use OF voting ma.

possible subject to come before the
special session.

lap OF the eight-three mile hike from

Although legs were swollen. backs
ached and throats were parched. the
militia from Illinois and Wisconsin
that formed the advance guard of Gen

fact that with the arrival in Camp viii.

twelfth provisional division on reach.
ing Camp Wilson completed the
march from Austin in two days less

guardsmen caused Gen. Greene to
shorten the schedule
According to staff officers of the
southern department, the fact that the
troops are able to shorten the time of
their going trip by two days on the
return march, shows the benefit of the
training they have received since leav-
