THE ARRIVAL IN SAVANNAH.
The Oglethorpes left Augusta at noon
yesterday, aud arrived in the city at $40
o'clock. A big crowd, made up mostly of local
military men. was at the depot. The
soldiers marched from the Central depot
down Liberty street and through Randolph
street to the Tybee depot. They wore the
regulation army fatigue uniform and leg
gins. They are fine looking body of men,
and as they marched down Liberty street in
route sep with their guns slung across
their shoulders they made handsome ap-
pearance.
Route step allows the men to carry the
gun as they please, but the Augusta
soldiers, by mutual consent, carried their
guns across the shoulders. They marched
with quick, swinging step, and it took
them but short time TO reach the Savan-
nah aud Atlantic depot. People we're gath
cred at the cross streets all along the route
Of march. and at several points the Ogle-
thorpeS were cheered.
AT CAMP JACKSON.
The corps went down to the island in a
special car on the Z 80 o'clock train. They
ha- lrat ct Heel Tvha NJ aknl
across the veranda to the beach aud thence
to Camp jackson, which is located in front
of the Chatham Artillery club house, be-
tween the sand hills and beach. The men
marched into the street between the tents
aud after brief talk from Capt jackson
on the opsning of camp they were dis
missed TO prepare for supper.
There are ten company tents on each side |
OF the street At the north end are two |
officers tents, and at the south end Two |
Sibiey mess tents, and the kitchen and COM
misssry. The guard house is built little
west Of the kitchen. There is no flooring in
the tents, and the men sleep on cots, two
occupying each tent. The kitchen is fitted
up with fine range and all the necessary
utensils for cooking. The cooking IL done
by portly colored cook, Lewis Lindsay Of
Augusta.
TEE LRTHoRPEs GOOD LINERS.
The eommissary is in charge Of Sergt. E.
B. Pitcher, and is stocked with fine variety
OF provisions. There Is plenty of ham.
breakfast bacon, eggs, canned goods Of ali
kinds, pickles. bread, grits, rice and coffee,
besides four sacks of -four for biscuit pur-
poses. From the looks Of things the boys
will live high In camp, probably much
better than bad they gone TO ChiokamauVa,
Supper WAS not quite ready when the
Oglethorpss reached camp, and in very
lew minutes Sergt. Pitcher was besieged by
the boys 10 hurry the eatables. They were
hungry set, and when the bugle
sounded the mess call at Gas
o'clock the boys fell in line with alacrity.
The bill Of fare consisted of broiled ham
and eggs, hominy, fried fish, coffee and
bread. a detachment OF the Savannah
Cadets, In citizens dress, including Capt.
Brooks and Lieuts. Nell and Lowell, accom-
panied the Oglethorpes to camp and messed
with them,
After supper the soldiers were allowed to
roam around until IL o'clock, when the
active duties Of camp life were begun. Sem
tinels were placed on post at that hour, and
taps were sounded.

will be under strict military discipline dur |
ing the camp they will also have consider |
able pleasure while OF duty, as Tybee is |
now at the hight of the gay season.
GLAD TO COME TO rYBEE.
Many Of the soldiers said tn at they were
almost glad that the state appropriation be- |
came exhausted before Augustus encamp- |
neat turu came. as they were better
pleased TO get to The seaside than to 90 to
he mountains. They had made all prena-
-ations to go to Chickamauga when the |
order declaring the state encamp-
nent or was received. The boys
decided Immediately that, as they
had gone to all the trouble Of
for encampmsns they were not
going to be left. II the state couldn't afford
70 send them to camp they would have a
little affair OF their own.
The afternoon drill on the beach will be
II full uniform. The company is one of the
best drilled In Augusta, and will put up ex-
libitious every afternoon.
Quite number Of visitors, among them
Mayor McDonough, visited the camp last
night.
The boys we're considerably worried |
or not Tybee's famous mosquitoes |
will pay them a call. They said that they |
mad heard aud read some remarkable tales |
about the insects regarding both their size
Ind biting qualities. Many of them had
Itock of peanyroyal on hand TO ward of
he anticipated guests and others brought
nets along.
Several more additions to the Oglethorpes
ire expected to-day and others will proDa-
ply come later In the week.
