break of day this morning brought all the
men ynwninR from th cir tents TO begin the
duties OF the first day in camp. After an
hours drill they had breakfast, when part

and those who have qualified for the
500 and 800 yards practice will
begin there tomorrow. The Georgia

fell short of it only a few points. Lieut..

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE CAMP.
All roads lead to Camp Northen this

the contrary has been the case. They have
not only made a good showing, but have

the purpose of bstter perfecting theu-
selves in the manual of their arms,
the sword, the carbine and the pistol.

brought back to those on the ground mem
cries OF the infantry companies who have
been here and who have returned TO their
| homes so much benefited from their stay in
| camp.
Col. Gordon's camp orders are very sim

who have preceded him, differing from

in the troop demands. His orders have
given general satisfaction, and the way
tactics are being studied and views of their
| Interpretation exchanged it il a safe calcu
lation that the order calling on troop COM
mandants to apply themselves will be
| strictly obeyed.
Those Of the Savannah soldiers who have
been in camp will doubtless be interested to
