Corporal SETH FOSTER, of Co. H, 35th U.S. Vols., arrived here Monday afternoon and left the same evening to visit relatives near Pleasanton. He was formerly a resident of this county, but went to Oregon to enlist as a Private, and was promoted to Corporal. He was mustered out at San Francisco on May 2, the same day the regiment arrived from the Philippines on the transport Rosencranz. MR. FOSTER saw almost two years of service in the Philippines and was fortunate in escaping any wounds or serious illness, but like most of the returned soldiers, says his ambition to be a soldier has been gratified in full and he is well satisfied to again become a private citizen.
