CHICKAMAUGA, GA, June 27.-Excite'
ment prevails here tonight over the arrest
of several members of the Savannah Volun
teer Guards in the Park hotel during the
ball The biggest crowd that has been IL
Chickamsuga since the encampment opened
Is here tonight to attend the ball The
house is thronged with soldiers. and it Is
decidedly the social event of the week.
The Guards turned cut largely. and some OF
them crossed the line without passes, as did
many members of the regiment All passes
expired at IL o'clock, and after that hour
the sentinels we're instructed to arrest every
man that attempted to cross the line. To-
ward midnight the first sergeant in going
his rounds discovered that a good many Of
the men were out and he reported accord
ingly to the officer Of the guard.
ARMED MEN SENT OUT.
Only the battalion officers took notice Of
&c. Lieut. Gibbes, who was officer Of the
guard, with detail consisting of Private
George J. Baldwin, Corpl. West and Pri-
vate P. W. Cunningham, armed, marched
10 the hotel and began to arrest the men.
Some were with girls and some were
dancing In few minutes not q Guard
was seen in the assembly except the COM
missary sergeants, and they will be lodging
on the line all the night and some will sleep
in the bath house. Hundreds of other
soldiers are out from the regiment, but the
officers are not as strict with them as the
commandment of the battalion is.
The official inspection of the Second reg
iment took place to-day. Capt Fields COM
plimented the soldiers upon the splendid
condition of their quarters.
Col Garrard arrived tonight. The bat
tallion formed in front of his headquarters
and be appeared and addressed them. He
told them he had been presented with a lit
tie girl and he called her the daughter of the
regiment.
HOW MAN FEELS IN MILITARY UNIFORM.
CHICKAMAUGA, GA. June 25.-How diff
ferent a man must feel when he is encased
in military uniforml He must feel that he
is not exactly himself, or that he is the
smallest part of himself. or that it is the
uniform and not himself people look upon
I don't know why | thought of this, unless
it was suggested by seeing fifty or sixty
men clad in jeans brooches and blue shirts
among the well dressed people at the Park
hotel. These men wear clothes" when
they are at home, and there must be some
way of accounting for their disposition to
rig up in this harness when they are away
from home
1t may be that they are tired Of "this
life" But there is no real reason why they
should be tired OF Chickamauga- They are
eating plenty, and they are sleeping with
out rocking, If it is pm the floor. Private
Leaken was the snartest soldier by long
odds that came up to Chickamauga. The
vnopnapt ha rrivad hara he want throiteb
tie tents and sat down and began to calcu-
late. He found that twelve or fifteen tents
would house 127 men by scrouging eight or
nine into a tent, and making some sleep on
the floor. He went to work at once to see If
he could not get the inturn on the boys; but
while be was sitting down planning the
boys rushed into the tenJs and Leaken slept
on the floor all night.
Next morning he was put on with the
commissarY sergeant; he eats as much as he
wants, is exempt from guard duty and
sleeps in the mess hall on a splendid new
cot.
THE LIFE OF THE CAMP.
Johnnie Hardee is the life Of the camp.
He was on guard duty all night and all
day. Once during the night he was dis
covered reclining in a chair with his feet
propped higher than bis head, saving gourds
after the most approved fashion. Tnev at
tempted to take his gun from him, but he
began to do the honors OF guard at once, and
it was plain sailing for him.
After working 'hard, as he expressed it.
he said in answer to question about his
health, 81 am able to sit up and take re-
freshments, thank you"
81 sell rice, he said signing. 30, il had
known two days ago what l know now I'd
be selling rice now"
The officer Of the day to-day was Capt.
Williamson OF Company A officer of phe
guard was Lieut.. George NJ. Gadsden:
sergeant OF the guard, 4. r. Wood; cor
porals of the first relief. T. N. West, Pri-
Yates Barnwell, Krouse, Van Wagenan,
Estill. spiyey; second relief. Corpl. II. D.
Osborn, Privates Howard, Low, Lyons,
Ivancich, Hatch; third relief, Corpl. John
Carswell, Privates Montague, Woodbridge.
Morgan, Morrison and Park.
Everybody is watching this guard with
eagle eyes, because Capt. Screven's guard
the night before was pronounced the best in
camp.
THE BATTALION CoMPLIMENTED.
Both Lieuts. Huger and Gibbes came I'D
to Capt. Screven and complimented him
upon the splendid department OF his men.
They were the first to salute the flags. The
relief was inspected thoroughly and the
equipment was always required to be in
order.
The sergeants and corporals answered re-
lief in double quick, and one of the officers
Of the guard of the regiment remarked to
the officer of the day that he only wished
his men would respond with as much readi-
ness and as cheerfully as the Guards detail
had done. This detail made the grand
round, and the only grand round that was
made.
Ii is interesting to know who composed
this detail, since they are toasted every
where. Their names are appended:
Post No. 1, first relief of sentinels-
Daniels, Nicely, Doar and Hennessy.
Second Relief-LeHardy, Craig, Bruen.
Hincks and Griffin.
Third Relief-DuPont, Haupt, Hardee.
Mobley and Fleming.
THE oRDERLIEs.
Hunter Of Company A was appointed
first orderly to Capt. Reilly, commandment
in the absence Of Col. Garrard. Cunning
ham of Company was appointed second
orderly.
An orderly is appointed by the adiutsut
for his soldiely bearing, neat and cleanly
appearance, and for his knowledge of the
soldier. 1t is considered always a compIi-
ment to receive this appointment, and when
a member of A and G remarked that these
compliments had been confined to their
commands, Capt. Screven of B retorted
that orderlies weren't worth hurrah in
his opinion.
