The
105th Regiment left our depot at one o'clock this afternoon by
special train - in two sections - en route for Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky...
The
regiment was mustered into service yesterday afternoon by Captain Paxton of the
15th Regulars at which time the men received their uniforms.
The 105th will receive its arms - Springfield rifles -
accoutrements, and tents at Cincinnati.
It
is also important to note that recruiting was very heavy in Ohio during this
time in an effort to fill quotas and avoid the draft.
War meetings are mentioned often in the papers, as well as the draft.

CANFIELD
COMPANY - This company of fine young men numbering 110 left Canfield on Tuesday
night for Camp Cleveland, via Youngstown. Our
patriotic ladies prepared a repast at 1 o'clock, and several citizens furnished
teams to convey the boys to Youngstown. All
were in high spirits. Judge Newton
addressed the Company very feelingly and Rev. W. G. March presented each with a
testament. The parting was a trying
one, both to relatives and acquaintances. At
Youngstown the Poland and Middletown boys with their friends joined ours and
assembled at the Depot, when D.M. Wilson, Esq. And Hosea Hoover addressed them.
Their remarks were feelingly offered, broken & few.
Fathers, mothers, wives, lovers, and children clung to their friends and
wept aloud. All felt the solemnity
of the hour. God preserve the dear
ones.
We
attended them to Cleveland, saw them to their barracks, and when we left they
wished us to say to their friends, "we are surrounded with friends and
comfort." They have a good
camping ground and excellent apartments to sleep in.

- Twenty-three ladies of Warren caused thheir name to be published this week that
they are willing to take the places of the clerks in the Dry Goods Stores and
give them an opportunity to serve the country.
They agree to peaceably quit when they honorably return.

CANFIELD
COMPANY FOR THE 105th REGIMENT
The following names comprise the Company recruited from this county, and
who went into Camp Cleveland yesterday morning.
Sixty-four were recruited by Lieut. Clark of Canfield in about 10 days.
They are all fine looking young men, and will do good service for their
country. Fifty more men could easily
been had, could they have gone in this Company.
Some who have applied and were not fortunate to get into this Company,
will start in a few days for Columbus to join the old Regiments.
In the meantime, all desiring to enlist, can do so by applying to the
Editor of this paper, who is empowered to send all such volunteers free to
Columbus. We will accompany such
men, and deliver to their friends on our return, the bounty and other money
which may be entrusted to us.

particularly apples and peaches, be dried and put away for the soldier."
