From the augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Many people present yesterday had never
seen sham battle, and had little idea what
ii would be like.
They were eager TO see it, however, and
sat patiently through the trying interval
which elapsed after the military review.
1t was a hungry crowd, but they waited
without fatering until the firing outside of
the grounds gave warning that prepare
tons were being made. About 8 O'Clock
the first companies began TO file into the
life aud animation.
ARTILLERY was wheeling into position on
the right, the infantry were deploying
front, and the cavalry were dashing about
on all sides.
