NEW FACES In THE CAMP.
SAVANNAH, ATLANTA AND AU-
GUSTA TROOPS ARRIVE.

Of1cers of the Companies From at
lsnta and Augusta-The Trip of the
Guards by Night Quiet One.
GRIFFIN, GA, June 14-The third week
of Camp Northen commenced to-day at
o'clock with the prospect of being the most
successful week in the history Of the camp.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards arrived
this morning at o'clock and have already
settled down to the routine life. There are
500 men in camp and better looking. bet
ter equipped and better drilled body of mon
the state cannot produce. The Guards had
very pleasant trip to camp. The sleepers
of the Central railroad were very much en-
ioyed, and the train was put
through on quick time, too
Quick in fact for some of the boys who
would have liked another hour or two Of
sleep. Strict discipline was enforced on the
way up. Guards were posted at the doors
of the company cars and no one not belong
ing to the company occupying each car was
allowed to pass through that car. The dis
cipline caused some grumbling but the men
were doubtless the better for it. The men
were ordered to their berths at II o'clock,
but a few festive spirits entered such hearty
protests that 1t was II o'clock before every
one was asleep.
THE ARRIVAL AT GRIFFIN.
The train arrived at Griffin about g
o'clock and after a wait Of about an hour,
which proved very exasperating to the
hungry men, the train was taken out on the
switch leading TO the camp. The appear
ance of Quartermaster Sergeant Montague
and Commissary Sergeant Dathn was
greeted with applause by the Guards
The men left the train at the switch and
took up the march over the hills to the
camp, As the command entered the camp
it was cheered by the Burke Light Infan-
try Of Waynesboro, who had arrived the
night before The Guards were the first
troops to arrive this morning and
secured good quarters, the streets and tents
of which were left in good condition by the
companies which had just vacated them.
The Guards are located next to the regulars
of the Fourth United States artillery and
are the nearest volunteer command TO the
commandments headquarters The Colum-
bus Guards, commanded by Capt. Price,
broke camp shortly after the Guards ar
rived and were given a parting cheer. The
Columbus Guards were in camp with the
Savannah Volunteer Guards last year and
a great friendship arose between the two
companies. The Savannahians regretted
very much that their Columbus friends
could not be with them this year. Break
fast was served at 7:80 o'clock in the COM
pany mess halls and II ever famished set
of men attacked flrst-class meal it was
those same Guards Commissary Sergeant
Daffin was gwen three cheers and tiger by
Company b for the handsome manner
In which he had prepared for them
while Commissary Huger was given an
ovation by Company A for the same act
and Kibbe Williams was voted to be at the
top of the nation by Company @. 1t was
well that three OF the most popular men in
the battalion we're selected to act as COM
missaries. The men of Company B say
that Daffin's fare was the d. 8. and N.
