that aiter he fired the figure at which

darkness. The following morning it was
N'9OoESiSu that Private Thomas had killed

Inc three recruiting officers appointed by
| Col Brown will a once commence work
ID prlhg the twelve companies UP to the
standard of LOG men each, about 1856 men
WIN nave to be secured 1t is believed
mere that this number will be very easily
found, as numbers of letters have been
received recently by members of the Sec
ohg Georgia from their friends in almost
| every part OF the state An which the writ
ers express desire to enlist as soon as
the recruiting offices are opened. AS has
already been stated in the Morning News
| the headquarters of the recruiting officers
! Will be located at Atlanta, Savannah and
augusta. These officers will also cover
sections OF the state adjacent to these
cAtleS ana, II necessary, will go from one
| point TO another to enlist the men who de-
sire TO enter the army, and who do not
ma 1t convenient to reach any
instructions for these officers will
/ be sent them without delay from
| brigade headquarters. 1t Is possible in
| matters OF this character that local physi-
! clans will be secured to make physical ex-
aminations Of the volunteers who desire
~ SAh4Sti anu mat as soon as squad or
| elght or ten are enlisted they will be for
warded to the regiment, where they will at
! once be furnished with uniforms and
| placed in service
Col Brown is working slowly In the
| matter of securing A regimental band, as
| ne desires to make no mistake. He has
| had quite a number of letters from prom
| inent musicians in the state who desire to
! be employed as a leader, and has an appli-
| cation from an entire band. He will act
| definitely in this matter next week He
! has written to Washington to see about
| getting the Instruments and hopes to re-
/ ceive favorable reply in a day or two.
| In the regiment there are nearly dozen
! good musicians and when the instruments
| arrive these men will be put in the band
If there is any trouble in Securing the in
| struments from the government as soon
| as they are needed, the officers of the
regiment will raise the money with which
! to buy the outfit. Col. Brown is determined
| upon having the band, and the men are
| backing him UP in his efforts.
| Maj. e. j. Armand of Athe Second Bat
! talon, a day or two since, enlisted two verv
| good men in Company H. Lazarons of
| Chattanooga and Floyd of Columbus The
/ latter mas served as lieutenant in the
| insurgent army in Cuba and speaks the
! Spanish language. Maj. Armand will find
Floyd quite a valuable man as an interpre-
| ter.
Some of the men in camp here have
made a seine, and almost daily they
bring into camps nice string of fish
| caught near the camps. Then they have
fried fish by the company cooks and seem
to greatly enjoy, not only their good luck
with the seine, but the fine catch, and the
change as the result in the every day bill
of fare of life in the camps
AS an illustration of the fact that all
soldiers are not of the improvident class
1t may be stated here as a matter of news,
that the members of Capt. Beusess' COM
pany from Athens have sent home to their
| relatives $500 out of their first month 8
| pay. This is an excellent showing. In
view of the fact that a good many of the
men in this company did not get in a
full months time and that there were
many things that the men needed out of
their first months pay that they are not
likely to need later on, such as comb
and brushes, tooth brushes, etc.
