THE GEORGIA STATE GUARD.
It IL Highly Complimsntsd by Camp-In-
spector Field, Z. =. A.
(Dy telegraph to the Dispatch


WASHINGTON. August 22.-The War De-
partment has received the rcpor. OF Cap
tain Edward Field. United States army.
who made an inspection Of the annual en-
cempront OF tho National Guard of
Georgia held at Uhicamauga, Ga. from
June 10th to July 18th. Tho total strength
OF the camp was 1850 enlisted men and
100 officers. Captain Field says his general
impressions Of the camp were very
favorable. He was especially struck
with tho fine quality OF the ma
teyisl and with the zeal, sobriety,
good humOr, self-respect, and gentlemsnly
feeling and demeanor almost universal
among the Georgia troops. The officers,
as class, he says, are educated and COM
petent beyond those Of any State he has
seen. Both officers and men are generally
intensely interested In their duties.
Naturally those portions OF their profess
sion, ike drills, for instance, which call
out special intelligence, are the most popu-
lar They want to learn ali they can IN
their limited time. But duties which call
for fidelity aud pat!oncs without present
ing much novelty and which require some
sacrifice Of personal comfort and con,
yenience arc not 60 well done and
sometimes are actually thnked. Guard
duty is sthe.weak point Of the militia de-
pending upon their discipline. Captain
Field saws that discipline and instruction
are tho two panaceas for ell the faults or
this militia. Tho militia, lie says, good as
it Is. would DO the better for pruning.
Captain Field thinks tina. It is time that
skirmishing and target practice, which
have been neglected, were being attended
to and that the State should do her share
in the matter OF furnishing ammunition
and help in the matter of uniforms. In
concluding his report Captain Field pays
q very high compliment 70 Lieutenant
Soltents for his valuable services to the
State militia
