Has Secured rs Men for the battalion

Has Secured rs Men for the battalion
But sim Needs % More.
Capt. p. f. Gleason of the Irish Jasper
Greens returned to Savannah with his men
yesterday morning for the purpose of con-
tinuing the work of getting recruits for the
First battalion of the First Georgia Regi-
ment He is accompanied as before by Ser
geant Murphy and Prlvates Mailey and
Douglass.
Capt. Gleason has spent most of his time
in Macon since leaving Savannah ana
there he secured twelve more recruits. He
has sent rs men in all to the battalion since
leaving it, for that purpose, and now needs
Is more to make up the JOG he was sent out
to get to i'll up the battalion's ranks.
The recruiting office here will be opened
as before at the Catholic Library hail. aud
the work. viii begin this morning. Capt.
Gleason has had four or five men here
waiting for him, which is a good starter
on the additional number he wants to get.
He is recruiting now for the battalion, and
the men secured will be assigned to one
of the companies connected with it on their
arrival at Chicknmauga. The regiment Is
still short about 80 or 100 men, and If pos
sible, Capt. Gleason would like to aid in
filling up it's ranks.
Capt. Gleason has some interesting sto-
.
try towns where he went since he left Sa-
vannah. lie was promised four recruits
at Rochelle, and when he arrived there
he found that two of the men were only
eighteen years old, and that their parents
would not consent for them to so. The
others said upon reflection that they did
not care to so anyhow, SO he did not get
anyone at Rochelle. He had a similar ex-
perience at Eatonton. He was promised
fifteen men there, or at least somebody
wrote to somebody al Camp Thomas that
fifteen men would be secured there, and
he was directed to go and get them. lie
found on his arrival that the men around
Eatonton looked on the matter as a sort
of a joke and not ono Of them was ready
to enlist The country people, it seems do
not seem exceedingly anxious about get
ting into the army at present
The recruiting officers are working now
under somewhat different orders from
those they had in the first place. They
are now given q little more discretion as
to the places TO so for recruits instead
of having TO go just anywhere when d.
rected 10 do so. They are not permitted
TO enlist any man under Is years old, and
they must be reasonably certain that par
ties enlisting have attained that age They
are not allowed to enlist any men under
p years old without the explicit consent
of parents or guardian, and on this point
they arc now very careful.
Capt. Austin's men took to the woods
again yesterday in search of more re.
Cruts and they are making the most earn
est endeavors to secure the required quota.
Lieut.. w. f. Cole, VINO was recruiting
here for the heavy artillery battery for
some time, has gone to Millen, where he
is prosecuting the same work. He secured
four recruits there for the battery the
other day and considers the outlook in
that section more hopeful than 1t was
here.

GAVE THANKS IN MEEKNESS.
GLORY RETURNED TO GOD FOR
VICTORIES PORTENDING PEACE.

Ministers See the Hand of Divine
Prayers for the Preservation OF
the Lives and the Salvation of the
Souls of Our Soldiers and Sailors.
Pleas for an Early Cessation of
HostiIitIes.
From nearly every pulpit in the city OF
Savannah yesterday special thanks as
cended 10 God for the blessings of victory
granted to this country as the harbingers
of an early peace. The protecting care Of
the divine power was besought for the
soldiers and the seamen that their lives
might be preserved and their souls saved
from the demoralizlng and corrupting In
huences that too frequently surround them
In time Of war.
Nowhere was there a note of thanks
or qualification that another
nation had suffered, that thousands of the
enemy had been swept to death. and that
sorrow and trouble have been their lot
instead of songs of praise for victories
Rather were the prayers uttered the ex-
preston of a hope that good might come
to Spain from the vlcissitudes through
which it is going. and that out of the
travail of defeat 1t might rise to a newer
and more glorious life.
The hand of God is plainly believed by
the ministers TO be In the remarkable
events that have so recently electrified the
world. From victory several drew the
lesson that this country, in the conflict
1t is waging, has right, justice and the
highest grounds of humanity to its credit
and that because of this 1t has reason to
look 10 God for approval The warning
note was uttered that the successes which
have come to American arms must not be
accepted as the result only
of superior prowess on the
part of the men of this country.
but must be attributed to that higher
power which holds the destiny OF men and
nations in control. In the enthusiasm Of
success, God it was held, must ever be
kept in view and thanks returned unto
Him. Earnest appeals for an early termi-
nation of hostbiiies were made. In all
the prayers there was spirit of good
feeling toward those with whom the strug-
gle is now being waged, and entire absence
OF an eXultancy, because of their mis-
fortunes. 1t was thanksgiving tempered
by the thought of the suffering and grief
that have come to thousands on both
sides.
Beyond such expressions in prayer and
brief illusions in sermons no difference
was apparent in the services. 1t was GEN
orally felt that this was what the PresI-
dent asked for in his proclamation and
what he, as Christian man, considered
Dehtnng In Christian nation.

LIGHTNING PLAYED FRANKS,
Took Possession of Telegraph Lines |
and Made Trouble Generally.

Took Possession of Telegraph Lines
and Made Trouble Generally.
The lightning yesterday played over cleo
trio wires rather freely, taking privileges
IN some instances which became monoton-
GUS to those upon whom the trouble fell.
1t performed a number of freaks by walk
ing slack wires, frightening people gath,
cred about electric wires in buildings. and
occasionally winding up with stunning
crack that shook every house in the i'm,
mediate neighborhood.
The most trouble was probably had by
the fire department. Several time in
succession the lightning mysteriously got
in contact with the wires, rang the tower
bell, and sent the horses at every station
dashing 10 the, harness. This was not
noticed so much by the fremen at the be-
ginning, but when the big bell rang out
the fourth time, and the indicator showed
number one each time, the lightning
became annoying.
Ihere is no way to prevent the bell
ringing al times during a lightning storm
except to switch off the circuits which
then makes it impossible to send In
alarms. As some of the most damaging
fires start during these storms, 1t would
be manltestly dangerous TO undertake
stopping the annoyance in this manner.
In the sergeants Office at the police bar
racks, where hundreds of wires are con-
neeted from all over the city, some little
trouble was also experienced FlashI went
the switch board when the key was re-
moved by the sergeant on duty. This py-
rotechnic display was not considered al
together safe, as the flame shot forth like
a swapping wasp. The sergeant 1ammed
the key back in its place, bottled up the
hole, and prevented further demonstra-
lions while the lightning continued.
The residence of Mr.. William T. Knight.
No. l4S Abercorn street was struck. but
the lightning is supposed 10 have run into
the ground. There was a terrific jar at the
time which left the impression on those
inside that the stroke had resulted more
seriously. The lightning shook up the dor
mitory at the barracks, cracking a few
glass in the windows of the upper rooms.

CROSBY STILL AT TYBEE.

Efforts Being Made to Secure n Dis
charge From the War Departmen
John Crosby the young deserter from
Company M of the Guards, is still at Ty-
bee, confined in the guard tent on the mil
itary reservation.
Crosby is not kept in too close confine-
ment, and though he has a sentinel guard
ing him all the time, he has considerable
more freedom than the ordinary prisoner
Capt H. X. Bailey, who is in command
of the reservation, kindly consented to
keep him here for a reasonable length of
time, in order that his father might en-
deavor TO get discharge for him from
the war department before he is sent
away. Messrs. Twiggs x Oliver, his at
torneys, have made application for such
a discharge, and they hope to receive 1t
within a few days. Crosby was visited
by his father yesterday, and his wants are
looked after by his family. From all APP
pearances he is not suffering any from his
confinement.
The two men who arrested the Wigs
brothers, des"rters from North Carolina
regiment who were recently given three
years each in the penitentiary, were paid
$40 each for the arrests. The government
pays $40 for the arrest of a deserving sol
der When The deserters were turned
over to Capt Bailey. he told the parties
that there would be some formallties con-
nected with the matter. but as soon as
possible a check for the amount would
be-sent them. Within a couple of weeks,
however he received letter from the de-
partment commander, from which he
found that one of the men had become
tired of waiting for his ten, and wrote
a letter direct to the Secretary of the
Treasury, stating that he had made The
arrest, and asking that the money be sent
him at once. The letter was referred to
the war department, by which it was re-
ferred to the department commander and
he sent 1t to Capt Bailey. Since that
time, however. both the men have re-
ceived the reward Tor The arrests.
