Flying Camp Men Exhorted.
PHILADELPHIA. December 6. 1878.
Philadelphia is filled with soldiers
of the Flying Camp who have left
Gen. Washington's army and are de-
termined to return home, although
their services in the field are more
urgently needed than ever before.
Most Of them are from Maryland.
Pennsylvania and the Jerseys. They
were invited to attend a big mass
meeting in the yard of the State
House Independence HalD. where they
listened to patriotic appeals by the
Maryland delegates in Congress and
Gen. Mifflin to return to the Army IL
only for a month. This meeting was
held yesterday, and it is not known
how many Of the men will respond
to the appeal.
There is no lack of loyalty to Amer
lea in the ranks. but the men say that
they s,lffef frightful hardships which
only impaT their strength and render
them unfit for duty, and they feel that
to continue in the Army under the
present conditions is but a useless
sacrifice. They complain particularly
of lack of clothing. The Maryla nd
Congressman. by guaranteeing to pro-
vide their men with complete outfits
of winter clothing. induced many to
return to the service.

any higher amount up to $4,000, in
multiples of $500 of the amount of

carried while in the service. The re-
