COMPANY Ms. GOOD RECORD.

Company M. rolled in from camp Friday night, on the 6:32 tiain, and was given a hearty reception, with the Uncle Josh Spruceby band to furnish the music. The boys were some of them pretty tired, most of them pretty dirty, but all of them feeling in good spirits and satisfied with their ten days’ soldiering experience. They had harder work than any other company, because of their small number, as there is about so much camp work that each company has to do, and the fewer there are to do it, the harder they have to work. Our boys acquitted themselves with credit in all camping and drill work, and were quite the model company of the camp in general deportment. Not a member of them got put iu the guard house, nor did a single member get “bowled up.”

Nor, with the exception of some of them getting pretty well tired out, or having some light sickness from change of water, did any of them get sick. They are all well pleased with the treatment accorded by their of fleets, both company, regimental and brigade; and especially are they all enthusiastic over CapL Warner's consideration and generosity, not the least item of which was a big chicken dinner for the whole company at his expense, on Sunday, with plenty of rice pudding, pie etc. to go with it. The company is started out right and includes a lot of as nice young fellows as there are in the and none of any other kind, and it deserves the hearty encouragement of our citizens.
