Chattanooga, Tenn. July 26.-Swinging
a pillow behind a Georgia mule, or pick
ing cotton beneath a midsummer sun is
no warmer than the brigade drills which
are now the order of the day for the First
Georgia every morning.
For two hours, and often more, the men
drill over this part Of North Georgia with
shouldered rifles always. and not infre-
quently with the shelter tents and all their
appurtenances of heavy marching order.
The First Georgia Is getting plenty of
drilling in heavy marching order during
the afternoons of this week. This after
noon, instead of a long practice march of
that character, the men We're treated to
something worse. In view of the proba-
bility of their early departure it has been
thought wise to get them in training in the
loading of the wagon train. Accordingly
when drill call sounded this afternoon the
tents were struck and the city fell. The
shelter tents with the right amount of
clothing in them were rolled and strapped
across shoulders, the large tents We're load
ed into the waiting wagons, and the regi-
ment was ready for marching. This is
the way the men viii make ready for their
departure a few days hence if peace has
bqf no OF ont re
its marching orders.
Tomorrow the last of the Third Brigade,
First, division, First Corps, win go out
and next in order is the First brigade,
Second division, First Corps, with which
the First Georgia is brigaded. If anybody
wishes to communicate with the First
Georgia boys by mail they should write
at once If they would make certain of
reaching them here
