 Captain Darlington has laboreo al most unceasingly by day and night since he received his first orders rom Washington to muster in the troops, and the rapidity with which he has per formed the work has excited the adm1- ration of every officer and man in the National Guard. Every moment he was not engaged, yesterday, in super intending the mastering in of the art1l- Ierv batteries, Captain Darlington put in at the camp conferring with the commanding officers and arranging for the accommodation of the additional troops. In the afternoon he had the battery from Sacramento sent out to the barracks for examination, and he is now ready to handle the two Infantry battalions when they arrive to-day.
 As for Lieutenant Nolan, he has earned everlasting gratitude for the manner in which he dispatched rations and camp equipage to the troops after their arrival at the Presidio. It is no small job to provide for 2000 men, even if given ample time, but Lieutenant Nolan undertook it at a moments mo- tice and performed the work most

BOYS IN BLUE
 ARE HONORED.

Owing to the fact that a number of the young men of the First Christian Church in this city have volunteered to go to the war and that there is also on board the battle-ship Oregon one of the young men of the church, the congregation yester- day morning passed the following resolu- tion:
 WHEREAS, The spirit of patriotism has prompted some of the young men of our con gregation to wit: Brethren F. S. Brown. A. e Wagner Edward Norton and W. E. Flu hart to respond to the call of our President for volunteers to defend and uphold our beloved flag in the cause of humanity; therefore
 Resolved That it Is with great regret we see these brethren go from us to expose them selves to the dangers of war. though we can but recognize the nobility of spirit which prompts them thus to respond to their coun- try's call
 CTS of this church with these young men, that God may protect them from the dangers of war and return them to us in safety
 Resolved That we commend them to God and to the word of his grace, which IS able to build them up and give them an inheritance among all them that sanctified.
 Resolved That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the church and copy transmitted to each of these young men.

DOENGS OFTHE FIRST
An Eventful Day to the VOI- unteerS in Camp at the
 PreSidiO.

Promptly at 545 clock yesterday morn ing the long and unbroken rattle of the drums sounding the first call for reveilIe awoke the soldiers of the First Regiment of the United States California Volun- teers to their second day of duty At the first tap of the drum the men turned out from their camps with the alacrity and precision of regulars. Ten minutes later the call was sounded for company forma- ton and the men fell in and answered their names to the sergeants roll-call Then followed a short drill in the manual of arms, and at 6:10 o'clock the men and officers sat down to their first breakfast in camp with such appetites as they had never had before. At o'clock the sick call was sounded. and these of the men who needed physician's attention re> ported to the hospital, where Captain Rethers and his corps of wide-awake assistants were ready to prescribe for them.
 Yesterday being Sunday there was a church call at 10 o'clock and those who desired to do so were permitted to attend church, being issued passes so that they could get through the lines. Guard mounting was at S:45 o'clock and the as sembly was sounded fifteen minutes later. The routine duties of camp life made the forenoon pass very rapidly, and when the call for dinner was sounded at noon men and officers alike were only too glad to partake of the substantial meal that Uncle Sam provided for them.
 Just as the sun sank to rest out beyond the blue waters of the Golden Gate and the evening gun from Fort Point boomed out its salute to the flag, retreat was sounded and the men gathered in their respective company streets to prepare for supper, which was served half hour later After supper until tattoo the men amused themselves by visiting each other

The camps of the First and Seventh Regiments of Volunteers was the Mecca toward which San Francisco turned yesterday, and from early morn ing until retreat sounded and camp was closed at night, civilians of all ages and both sexes paid homage to the brave boys in blue.
 During the morning hours the guards endeavored to keep the sightseers without the regimental lines, but so many had journeyed out to see friends and relatives in the ranks, that finally Colonels Smith and Berry concluded to relax discipline somewhat and allow their men to receive their friends. The result was that everybody on the res ervation fiocked into the company streets and the men found that Sun day afforded them but little chance to rest.
 The members of the two regiments early began to fraternize, and the most cordial relations soon existed. They exchanged visits, discussing the chances of being called in-J active ser vice, and speculatinr on which reg1- rent would be the first to start for Manila. The regulars, too, found much

to interest them at the camp, and those who were not on guard duty spent most of the day with the volunteers They were heartily welcomed, and or ders were issued allowing them to come and go whenever they saw fit.
 The youngsters were anxious to profit bv the experience of the regulars, who gave them much valuable advice re- garding camp life. They took the volunteers in hand, taught them how to fold their blankets according to regulations, open up the tents and m numerable other little things the men must learn, and when once learned add materially to their comfort and wei fare.
 During the forenoon Generals Dickin- son and Barrett, Colonel Burgin Of the Governors staff, ColOnels Macdonald, Miles, Gulf, Stanley and Barrere ana Major Dohrmann of the National Guard called upon Colonels Smith and Berry at their headquarters, and later in the day Colonel Miller, Third Ar tillery, accompanied by LieutenantS Barol and Woodward, Lieutenant Colonel Morriss, Fourth Cavalry, with Lieutenant Nolan, rode over from the barracks and paid their respects to the officers Of the two regiment. Captain Baldwin of the Commiss2ry Depart ment also visited the camp and dis cussed the problem of feeding the men and the officers.
 Thus the good feeling between reg ulars and yolunteers-officers and men-Which began on 2turday. was more firmly established. The regular officers are loud in their praise of the personnel of the two regiments, and do not hesitate to say that the officers field, staff and line-are most efficient. They recognize the fact that with so many recruits who have absolutely no knowledge of military duties or discip- line, the volunteer officers have a hard task before them in converting the raw material into perfect fighting ma chimes, but they are satisfied that they are fully equal to the task.
 On the other hand Colonels Smith and Berry, and their subordinate off cers, keenly appreciate the good will manifested toward them by the regu- lar officers. and thank their good for tune in being quartered so close to the

satisfactorily. The only thing that bothered him Saturday was to get bread. Flour there was in plenty, but there were no dutch ovens to bake ln and the accommodations at the Pre- sidio Barracks were entirely made quate. However. he overcame that diff l fculty yesterday by contracting with downtown bakers to deliver sufficient quantity of bread daily to satisfy the demand u--til other arrangements can be made. Camp ovens will be provided, and Colonel Smith has discovered a first-class cook in his regiment who will be detailed to educate number of men in the art of bread baking. Colo nel Berry will also adopt this plan, and in a few days the men will partake of bread of their own making.
 It was amusing to watch the boys preparing their meals over the field stoves, which are not intended for the preparation of fancy dishes. Most of the boys are only amateur cooks at best, and their struggles with refrac- tory steaks, jacketed potatoes and wash boilers filled with steaming coffee taught their civilian friends a highly prized object lesson in camp life.
 One thousand pairs of blankets were issued to the soldiers Saturday, in ad- dition to those they took into camp, so they have no trouble on that score. To most of them it came rather hard to roll up in their blankets on the nara ground Yesterday large quantity of straw was hauled from the barracks, and last night the boys were made more comfortable.
 The greatest annoyance the soldiers have to endure Is the dust. The camp is located on the eastern extremity of the immense drill ground that is des- titute of vegetation and across which the wind sweeps with almost hurricane force. The tramping of the great crowds yesterday ground the top cover ing of clay and the sand underneath into dust, which was blown in stifiing clouds over the camp, filling the tents and causing the men to comment audi bly, on the weather.
 Colonel Morris, when he visited the camp. was quick to observe this disa- greeabIe feature, and informed the off, cers that he would send the post sprinkling carts over in the morning to

THE NEED OF THE HOUR

Rev. Oliver C. Miller of the Church of the Holy Spirit. 21N Jackson street, preached yesterday from the text-I Cor. xvi:13: .sWatch ye; stand fast in the faith, ouit you like men; be strong" In part he said:
 We must watch and fight as we'll as pray Tn this life nothing good Is obtained or main tained without contending for II Our text is a ouotation from the address of the Phil isttTe general to his soldiers before going into battle Be strong and quit yourselves like rnen that ye be not servants; quit yourselves like men and fight.

God sent it. and he will Accomplish his own purposes through it. It has been now thirty-seven years since our fast war.

 The First Regiment has already sub nitted to the proper authorities est1- mates for wood, blankets, clothing. etc, and the articles are being delivered at the camp as soon as the requlslt1onS have been approved and filled. To-day the Seventh, after being mustered Into the United States service, will, tnroush it's quartermaster, submit similar requi- sitions for supplies.
 Captain Baldwin, the purchasing comnissary in this city, is shipping large quantity of rations to the post comrnissary at the Presidfo, who Will issue them to the volunteer troops as required. The contractor who furnlSnes fresh beef at the Presidio will also sup ply fresh beef to the camp.

Even to-day among milltary men 1t will, without doubt, hold us place as the best shooting piece at all practicable distances.
 The State tentage now In use at lne camp Is not In the best of condition; The wall tents used by the officers ana the common tents used by the enlisted men will soon be replaced by new tents to be issued by the Government rom stock now on hand, or to be made, at the general depot of the Quarter masters Department, 36 New Mont gomery street.

 General Thomas M. Anderson, with the headquarters band, and Companies A and E, Fourteenth Infantry, sta- tioned at Skaguay, Alaska, have re- ceived instructions from General Henry c. Merriam, commanding the Departments of the Columbia and Cali fornia, to proceed without delay to Vancouver Barracks, Washington. and thence to San Francisco. General Anderson, who was recently appointed brigadier general, will be placed in command of the regulars and volun teers encamped at the Presidio. He will form a brigade of the troops con- centrated in San Francisco.
 Captain Darlington has received or ders from Washington to organize a hospital corps for the volunteers, con- sisting of two stewards, two acting stewards and fifty eight privates. The First already has an excellent sanitary corps in the field under the supervision of it's surgeons, and this will be used as the nucleus for the new corps. The Seventh also has a fine corps of twenty three men, all of whom are practicing physicians, druggists or SluuSIlS- l HIS CcI pS "dS HOl DIouSuI up with the regiment, much to the dis appointment of the members who had disposed of their practice or business in anticipation of beir- called into ser vice
