A meeting of the company was held Monday evening, and unanimously decided to go into camp Wednesday. At the meeting of the company held Tuesday evening, the committee having in charge the uniforms subscribed for by the citizens were present and offered the use of the uniforms to the Guards, until such time as the State shall furnish them with a uniform. The offer was accepted and thirty uniforms were filled. The Guard numbers now about forty men, but all were not able to go at the time appointed and another squad will probably be sent down to join their comrades in arms.

Wednesday noon the company assembled in Town Hall, which has been used as a drill hall for the past week, and from there marched directly to the depot where they took the cars for Boston at 1.15. A large concourse of citizens followed the soldiers to the depot, and gave them siz rousing cheers, which were replied to with a will. This is the first detachment of soldiers from Woburn that has left town as a company, and it will be considerably increased by Woburn men before the 19th leaves for war. The Woburn Union Guard is now known as Co. K. 19th Mass. Regiment, and the following is a list of the men who went off on Wednesday:
