THE oRpERLTEs.


Jasper Greens was appointed orderly the
nrsI LI day to Lieut.. Col. Reilly, and George
Aink OF the German Volunteers got the Sec
ond appointment.
Little Bennie Symons, the high stepper
Tor the Cadets. but one OF the best men, has
grown powerful sentimental since he scented
tne high bills. He sits in his tent aud casts
ms eye far above the blue of Lookout and
writes the very best poetry. The bows saw
It is actual poetry-good at that, And SOL
olers know poetry when they see it.
Inc Augusta soldiers are never behind
ABOUT anything. They never go into
1nlnR unprapared-unless it is fight,
one OF them wrote an interesting letter to
a member of the Cadets yesterday, REQUEST
ing him to ascertain whether Chickamauga
Is ory or wet. Said he: "If the tincture
can't be obtained there l want to come
loaded" The Cadet replied that if it were
not Tor the rain the place would be mon
strous dry. Lieut.. Satterlee of the United
states army appointed Private r. B. Farr
OF tne cadets his special clerk and will keep
the soldier in his tent to write. The other
Doys say that Farr should split the snap
wlCn them. But the private simply smiles
and looks inexpressible.
BRUNswICK's RIFLEMEN,
The Brunswick Riflemen are the youngest
oooy or men In camp and among the best
looking fellows. The captain is a real hand
some fellow, but he spoils himself when he
opens his mouth. 1t would be all right if
he talked always to soldiers-they need to
be hoilered at; but there Is no use hollering
at swine. Now, a hog loped along "two-
iorteriy" in front Of the captains tent yes
terday, pursued by the Dawson Guards, the
Thomasvllle Guards, the Constitutional
Guards. several other guards, and the VAL
dosta Videttes, and because he chanced Co
loose the guy ropes and precipitate the cam
was upon the officer howl went up from
under the tent that almost woke Chicka-
mauga's dead. But the captain did not
care snap, and when he crawled out
he stood hat-footed and spoke as fluent En-
glish as anybody cares to hear. And when
he concluded he stepped out and brought in
the hog. They say 1t makes captains of
military companies very wroth TO have
the tent fell in their face while they are
smoking. Especially is this true if the pipe
stem should chance to be forced down their
throats, peeling off the skin and causing the
tongue to quit its local habitation.
THE THoMAsvILLE GUARDS.
Lieut.. Miller of the Thomasville Guards
is lieutenant colonel on the governors
staff, and will ride around with that magis-
trate Friday in the review of the troops. He
is also professor Of the military department
ofthe Southern College at Thomasville.
Capt. Hansell of the company is
a big lawyer in Thomasvile. Re
was seven years owner, publisher and edi-
tor of a weekly paper, and he is not alto
gether in love with the business. When
asked why he is not, he replied: 81 found
that it required two mems time, two mems
work, and but half a mans pay to conduct
it." That is argument enough. He is evil
IDENTIFY better military man. he makes a
good showing and his men are all long
legged, well-trimmed, sound-bodied and
healthy boys.
Capt. Wooten of the Albany Guards is a
splendid little man. And he is a little fell
low-in stature. He is a member of the
legislature and one Of the youngest men
there. He has surrounded himself with the
pick OF Albany, and what time the boys
would have If they could see the girls.
Lieut.. Col. Reilly has won the hearts Of
all of these people. They take to him as il
they had always known him. And the
colonel is mighty agreeable. He smiles
upon them in such q manner that they in
variably have business with him a second
time. The colonel has been moonlight riding
by boat on the lake. I haven't his word
for it, but an officer told me the colonel
through the water, and he quoted right
along. DIR. Kendrick of the Dawson
Guards Is an old veteran. He
served as a surgeon in the army
and is familiar with camp life. Sergt.
Powell of the Ocean Steamship Company
is vigiiant with the boys in keeping
down the spirits of the dead on these hills.
The sergeant says he manages to do his
share toward it. Sergt. Drummond has
been singing again. The Constitutional
Guards of Liberty, who had retired when
the sergeant opened up, walked out of their
tents and, with heads and feet uncovered,
circled around to drink it in. Y. d. r.
