A RAINY DAY.
From the Special Correspondent of the Nescs
CHICKAMAUGA, June 19-It rained yes
terday, hard, and the boys have splendid
ground to-day. They are out early like
spring chickens with feathers neat and
clean. They are enjoying the week as much
as they can, and some of them will be sorry
when the day comes to quit Chickamauga.
Savannah's soldiery outshines anything in
this part Of the country, and they are al
ways Icing complimented by officers and
visitors. The Thomasyile Guards, the Val
dosta Videttes and the Brunswick Rifiemen
are fine body OF mon and they understand
the soldier maybe better than the other
companies outside of the cities. O'Byrne

FUN ON THE QUIET.
In spite of the strict regulations main
!ained by the regiment, the boys will have
their fun on the dead quiet. The Greens
start it off and the others take it up.
Billie Kehoe and one of his friends were
arrested last night for disturbing the quiet
soldiers who died upon the battlefield of
Chlckamauga in '63. They were actually
gong through the ceremony, and Bob Pep
per was on top of barrel preaching the
tuneral of the dead. The singing was very
ooleful and the supplications of the acting
minister were painful to hear.
