Battle and bloodshed are terrible happenings, but they cannot always be averted. Until man's inhumanity to man ceases and all the world becomes a peaceful brotherhood, there will be wars and rumors of wars. Company A left yesterday for the battle drill. Mothers gave up their sons, wives their husbands, sisters their brothers, maidens their sweethearts. Gone to try the stern realities of a change of water and diet! "Brave boys are they! Gone at their country's cali." Six companies were in Ann Arbor this morning. They were cornpanies H and D. Capts. Drum and Withington, of Jackson; Co. G, Capt. Woodruff, of Ypsilanti; Co. C, Tecumseh, Capt. Haydn; Co. B, Adrian, Capt. Buck, and our own Co. A, Capt. Fischer. The boys left in good spirits and without doubt many of them will return alive and well.
