THE GALATIANS.
a Few More Dots on the WIng-The
Departure at Length for Their
HOped-fOT Destination.

On THE TRAIN BETWEEN AUGUSTA AND
CHARLOTTE, October 16, s P. M.-EditOr
1fOr1ling Nelrs: At Augusta this afternoon a
special arrangement was made, through the
kindness Of Mr.. W. W. Starr, Of the Central
Railroad, and Mr.. Van Buren,, Of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, by
which special train is to carry us from Co
lumbia to Charlotte, where we will connect
with the fast mail train for Danville, and in
this way some of the valuable time we lost
last night will be regsined. In Augusta we
had only half an hour to stroll around, and
the boys made the best of it. AS the long
siege had consumed nearly all the liquids on
board, sundrY attempts were made to pro-
cure something more, but so stringent is
the enforcement Of the Sunday laws that not
even q glass of soda water could be had for
love or money. The surgeon was In despair.
He recognized Savannah river water as soon
as he tasted It in the restaurant. Jimmie
Manion rOved the area around the depot,
followed by a motley crew of admiring
street gamins, until at length the bugle
sounded at the entrance at the depot, the
signal for US to gather in our scattered
forces. Here we took leave Of Lieutenant
H, "Bub,n Colonel Wadley No. 2, John
Cooper aud Buckner. We could i'll afford
to give up Estes, and our disappointment
was great at the necessity which required
him to stay behind.
The bag of biscuits which had been nour-
ishing -Four eyes" up to this time gave out
Just as we reached Grsniteville, so he joined
the rest at the eating house. 1t was here
that LaFar performed such feats as will
long make him remembered. The landlady
says that she has seen nothing like it since
Sherman's bummers passed along this way.
Poor Amin had q slight attack Of hypOchon-
dri8 at the thought Of leaving Georges, and
was only revived by dose Of the surgeons
favorite prescription.
Exempt member L. complains much Of
the neat and says that his face burns him.
I forgot to mention that while we were
stopping at Millen, Corporal Cunningham
slipped off from the train, hired horse and
went out riding, in order not to seem unsc-
customed to equestrian exercises when We
get to Yorktown.
a special coach has just been coupled on
the train for the use Of our company, and
as your correspondent will need all the sleep
he can get, he will here bid you good night,
and may the same enchanting Nightmares
attend you as have blessed US with their
presence thus far. LANYARD.

The Galatians In Augusta.

The Augusta Chronicle Of yesterday says;
Saturday evening the Chatham Artillery,
twenty-three strong, under the command of
Lieutenant George P. Walker, left Savan-
nah by the 7;3O train, Central Railroad, for
the Yorktown Centennial. Through a de-
tention caused by an engine being off the
track, the trained failed to make connection
at Millen with the Augusta train, and the
Galatians did not reach this city until Sun
day afternoon. They remained an hour
aud left on the Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad train for Virginia. About
five minutes before the train started Lieut..
Walker instructed one of the members OF
the company to blow the call on a small
bugle for the purpose of bringing some of
the members, who had strayed off short
distance, back to the depot. As soon as the
bugler commenced he was asked by a po-
liceman to desist, as it was against his in
structions to allow it. The Lieutenant said
there must certainly be some mistake about
it, and ordered the bugler to proceed with
the call, which he did. We are satisfied
that the policeman acted according to what
he belived to be his duty and without any
desire to be discourteous.n

ssBefore the Signal Service Sta

lured onto the reefs by device known TO
the natives as mule steering: a tail poie'
twenty. five or thirty feet in length, with

NIGHT 10 a mules back and the animal was
then led slowly down the beach. Passing
vessels mistook the lantern high in the air
for the signal light at the masthead OF

deceived as to the near proximity OF the

Another snake story.

At about one o'clock Monday morning, q
black snake four feet long and about four
inches in circumference, which is dOmiciled
as 8 sort OF pet st the Upper Hydraulic Cot
ton Press, came out Of his retreat and pro-
ceeded to take a promenade. When dis
covered chase was made for it, and finally
the reptile was cOrnered and captured by
Mr.. r. McHugh, who caught it firmly
around the neck to prevent its biting, and
then tied it fast, aud held it a prisoner.
Several OF the employees Of the press then
began playing with it, until finally it bit one
OF them, MIR. Peter Kent, the Waterman, in
two or three places. Not being poisonous
snake, however, he anticipates no bad re-
suit from the bites. His snakeship, after be
ing teased for some time, was released
from his prison, and granted liberty to prev
upon the rats which infest the yard Of the
press in large numbers.
