Renewing Its Vlg0r.

vesuvius furnishes an example Of a
volcano whose activity has been inercas-
ing instead Of diminishing during tho
last 5000 years. At the beginning of the
Christian era the mountains fires seemed
to have been long burned out forever,
and the eruption which buried Pompcii,
and IIerculancum in the year 70 was the
first known. The next outbreak was not
until 1896, and thereafter several came
at intervals of century or more, but
since 1881 the eruptions have been very
numerous.

IN THE WAR OF 1872.


During Captain Marshal's COM
mand, the war of 1912 with Great
Britain occurred; and, probably upon
some sudden occasion, the Guards,
with the other companies of Savan-
nah, composing the LIST Regiment
Georgia Militia, under the command
of LIT. Col. Jas. Johnson, were mus
tered into the service of the United
States for local defense. Besides
Capt. Marshall, the officers of the
corps were LIST Lieut.. Frederick S.
Fen and Ensign John l. Roberts.
The enemy not approaching Savan-
nah, however, this service continued
only for one month. During this
war, also, half of the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards and the Republican
Bites were sent on an expedition
against st. Augustine, Florida. There
is nothing to inform us how long
Capt. Marshall continued to COM
mand the Guards. He afterwards
became Colonel of the Regiment, and
was so as late as 1925, when LaFa-
yette visited Savannah. 1t is proba-
BILE that he resigned the captaincy
for the purpose of taking the higher
commission. He was succeeded,
when he did resign, by Capt. Frede-
rick S. Fell, who had been his LIST
Lieutenant, as stated.
After the death Of Captain Mar
shall, and uP to the time of her
death, his widow was the devoted
friend and patroness of the corps,
which frequently enjoyed her gra-
cious hospitality at the family resi-
dence on West Broad street, and to
which she presented the magnificent
stand of battalion colors it now
carries.
Captain Fell was a printer, and at
one time was one Of the proprietors
of the Savannah Republican.
Although an active officer, he APP
pears not to have been a successful
commander, and the corps is said to
have suffered under him a very
serious decline in prosperity. But in
1918 vigorous effort was made to re-
store it, and Edward f. Tattnall

GE0RGIA'S OLDEST CORPS.
THE SAVANNAH VOLUNTEER
GUARDS BATTALION.

Proud History of an Organization
That Has Existed for More Than
Three Quarters of u Century
The Men " no Have Stood at Its
Head in Time of Peace and War.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards
is the Oldest infantry corps in Geor-
gia, and has at all times numbered
among tsapembers many of the best
citizens of Savannah. In conse-
quence Of the loss Of the early records
of the corps, and the inaccessibility
of otheEsotlCes Of accurate informa-
ton, if, indeed, such are still in exist
ence, it is impossible to give minute
details of its history prior to the year
1878. @A
The corps was organized as a com
pany early in 1902, and, under the
militia law She State then in force,
was attachefto the 1st Regiment, 1st
Brigade, lst Division, of Georgia Mill
tia. Its first parade was on May list,
1902; and it has ever since, for that
reason, adopted and observed that Gay
as its anniversary. Their first parade,
according to the statement of the late
David Bell, who was then LIST Ser
geant, and survived until within a
few years past, was formed on the
east side of Bull street, in front of the
site now occupied by the bookstore
of Davis Brothers. On the Goth May,
1902, the corps took part in the re-
ceptiOn extended to Vice-President
Aaron Burr. The uniform at that
time, as was also stated by Mr.. Bell,
was blue, lightly trimmed with red,
with gold bars across the breast.
The hat was what was called in the
corps the "leopard skin"-a round
patent leather top, with white plated
visor surrounded by a band OF imi-
