campment would be a splendid thing for
Birmingham. The encampment at Chicka-
mauga Is a regular gold mine for Chatta-
nooga, and an encampment of soldiers near
Birmingham would be the same for this
city. 1t Is also considered possible that
Representative Underwood may succeed in
getting some of the national troops en-
camped here, and this end can be greatly
advanced by ordering the brigade encamp-
ment.
The following letter was one of number
sent from this city to Governor Johnston
yesterday:
Birmingham, April 10.
To His Excellency, Gov. Jos.- F. Johnston,
Governor of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala
My Dear Sir-In the event you should de-
eide to mobilize the Alabama national
guard at any given point in the state, 1
wish to call your attention~to few facts in
Birmingham s favor.
1 think that the most desirable place in
the state would be the old fair grounds near
Birmingham, where we have pure water,
and it can be distributed through any part
of the camp with less expense than any
place in the state, as we already have a
tank of $4,000 gallons to supply from. =.
AS you know, the drill grounds woul be
very acceptable for maneuvering the troops
and getting them in shape for active SER
vice.
AS you know, the drill grounds would be
aid wonderfully in keeping up good health,
which is the most essential thing of ALL
If you decide to use the fair grounds Of
fer you any assistance 1 can possibly give
with dummies and electric cars and in any
other way. Can transport the tents and
camp equippage at East Lake or from Bir-
mingham on short notice, to the fair
grounds.
If can aid you in any way please COM
mand me. Respectfully,
]. B. M'CLARY.
A number of officers of the national
guard were seen yesterday by an Age-Her-
aid reporter and told of this movement
They all seemed to have some hestitat on
about speaking of the matter, as 1t would
have the appearance of Offering suggestions
to a superior officer, the governor. Never
theless, all of them admitted that the
movement was an excellent one and that
it would be the best thing that could hap
pen to the militia of this state whether
they were called out or not They said
that If the call for volunteers did come, It
would be almost impossible to get the men
to volunteer In companies unless some such
plan of encampment was adopted.
Huey Guards
The Huey Cards, Of East Lake, held an
enthusiastic drill and muster last night in
their new armory. at which time the new
rifles Just ~aceived from the United States
arsenal were issued to the men by Quarter
master Sergeant A. J. Lacy, and instruo-
