thanking them for the honor conferred by J. Conlin. their action. Three hearty cheers were then given for the Union, and three more for Colonel Smith, and the meeting adjourned. The Smith Guards, having been ordered into camp at Adrian, left Wednesday, May 29, 1861. They were accompanied by the fire department. and a large number of other citizens. The largest crowd assembled in a long time, was at the depot to see them off. The city seemed to be out en masse, together with many people from the country. There were some affecting scenes and moist eyes, as mothers bid good-bye to their sons, sisters to their brothers, etc. The company were in good spirits, and went with the hearty good wishes of all, that health and success might attend them. We publish a full list of the officers and men composing the Smith Guards, the roll having been filled up to an hundred and one: Captain, C. Luce; first lieutenant; John M. Oliver; second lieutenant, A. M. Rose; third lieutenant, I. Diffenbaugh. First Sergeant, George Spaulding; second sergeant, George Bradford; third sergeant, John Adams; fourth sergeant, J. Redfield; fifth sergeant, Con. Paulding. First Corporal, W. Paulding; second corporal A. H. Bowen; third corporal, F. B. Gale; fourth corporal, R. R. Lassey. C. F. Austin. J. Root. E. Woodward. Wm. H. Duffield. L. Wagner. S. Mosher. T. Leonard. Theo. Haberfelder. PRESENTATION OF COLORS TO THE SMITH GUARDS. The stand of colors prepared for the Smith Guards by the ladies of the city, was presented on Tuesday afternoon, May 21, 1861. The guards paraded on the Court House square, in their new uniform, making a very fine appearance. The uniform was of gray cassimere-frock coats, pants with a red stripe on the legs, and cap of the same gray material with gilt trimming. The uniform was neat and tasteful, and gave the company a very soldierly appearance. A very large concourse of people, a large proportion of whom were ladies, assembled on the square, to witness the ceremony of the presentation. Mr. H. P. Vrooman acted as marshal of the day, and at the appointed time announced that Professor Kellogg, of the Young Ladies Seminary, would make the presentation speech. At the conclusion of the address by Prof. Kellogg, which was listened to with attention by all who were fortunate enough to get within hearing distance, the colors were presented to Captain Luce by the hand of Mrs. Paulding. Captain Luce, upon receiving them, made some appropriate remarks, thanking the ladies, in behalf of the company, for the colors, and for all the kindly interest they had taken in the company's welfare and comfort. Professor Chamberlin, with a number of young ladies from the seminary, then sang The Star Spangled Banner, with good effect. Judge Christiancy was then introduced, who addressed the company in some patriotic and feeling remarks, which met with a hearty response in the hearts of all his listeners, It was then announced that a number of young ladies had prepared a supply of neck ties and housewives for the members of the company, and Mr. E. G. Morton made some remarks on behalf of the young ladies presenting them. Five young ladies then advanced to the ranks and presented each soldier with a neck-tie, and a housewife well stored with thread, needles, pins, buttons, etc., which were found of great convenience and utility in camp life. At the close of the exercises, the blessing of the Great Ruler of the Universe was asked upon the company by Rev. E. J. Boyd. President—Mrs. George Landon. They also appointed an executive committee of sixteen. The Smith Guards were requested during drill to form in front of the Presbyterian Church, which they did, and each soldier was presented with a testament by the infant class of the Sabbath School. Another presentation was made to them at the seminary, being a Havelock cap-cover for each officer and soldier, by the young ladies of the seminary and some others of the city. This, we imagine, proved one of the most valuable articles that had been furnished them. The Monroe Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society, from its organization to the close of the war, with untiring energy, perseverance and genuine patriotism, accomplished the grand purpose of their organization-stimulated the boys in blue to renewed exertions and heroic conduct by their constant contributions for their comfort in the tented field, reminded of the fact that they were remembered in great kindness by loving hearts at home, and while facing disease and danger and death, were comforted with the consciousness they were remembered in the prayers and kindness of those they had left behind them. No part of the grand and multiform work of the suppression of the Rebellion and the preservation of the Union will stand out in history more noble and heroic, than will that borne by the loyal, Christian women of the United States, in the moral and physical care of the soldiers of the Union. It is without a parallel in human experience in the magnitude and munificence of the provision. It is due as simple justice to the memory of Florence Nightingale, and the true women of England who co-operated in her heroic and unprecedented work during the Crimean war, to say here that their noble example operated largely in suggesting the more ample and extended service of their worthy American sisters. It would not be possible to describe the aid and comfort given by that branch of the country's patriotic army. Many have recognized with grateful hearts what was done in that direction by the loyal women of Monroe, city and county, which may be taken as but a sample of like devotion throughout the loyal States. LIST OF VOLUNTEERS FURNISHED BY MONROE COUNTY. The following list is made up from "Michigan in the War" and the reports of the Adjutant General, and shows the name, company and regiment of men who enlisted in Michigan Regiments from Monroe county, and the casualties, etc., so far as reported, but does not show the enlistments from Monroe county in regiments raised in other States, and the author was unable to find any records from which he could obtain the enlistments last mentioned. The First Regiment of three-months men were mustered out of service, and no record was kept of their residence, and the Adjutant General, in his report for 1862, says, "The ordinary records of enlistments furnish no information of the residence of volunteers, and it became necessary to procure it as regards those in service from the regiments in the field. The dif ficulty and delay attending this labor, especially in such a period of active service as existed during the summer months, will be readily understood." "In the cases of old regiments, the casualties of months or a year of active service had taken from the ranks hundreds of men whose names were on the rolls, and whose residence it was sought to determine." From the foregoing explanation of the Adjutant General it is apparent that there must necessarily be many omissions and mistakes in the list given below. Some of the German and French names are spelled so differently in the various reports made to the Adjutant General that they can hardly be recognized, and in the casualties the author found numerous cases where a soldier was reported in 1862, as having died in action; in 1863, as discharged for disability; as transferred in 1864, and discharged at expiration of service in 1865. In such cases only the reports that do not conflict are given, and in cases where they conflict the last report is given. In many cases the author was unable to find an explanation or remarks, and in others only "missing in action," which, on investigation, he found so unreliable that he has omitted it.
