Men who VIII Go To-day,
With the departure of the two companies
of the Savannah volunteer Guards this
morning Savannah Will have sent to Camp
Northen over 100 soldiers.
Nearly two hundred men of the Guards
left yesterday morning by the Central for
camp
Company b left with 10s men and Off
GERS Company D had ninety-four men
and officers The leading men Of the com
panies were armed, carrying some of the
Springfield rifles with which the Savannah
Volunteer Guards have been armed.
Nearly all of the men were equipped, in
whole or part but there were some who
looked very much like private citizens as
they marched in the companies.
The commands left the arsenal at
O'Clock, and, with no beat of drum ana
but a small following, marched to the de-
pot No time was lost in boarding the
the men,. one for the officers, and bag
gage car. The route 70 the depot was fol-
lowed with the men marching in double
files The large number of each compa-
ny gave them long drawn out appear
ance Such companies as are formed when
recruits are taken in to bring them to
war footing are oddities in the eyes of Sa-

marches that have been made by the sew
eral commands that have left for camp
would have been pleased to have seen
drin on the parade ground with such num-
bers in each company.
Col. William Garrard. in command of the
battalion of Guards, was out with the de-
tachment. He will leave this morning
with the remaining companies.
The depot was not crowded with those
who wanted to see the Guards off as was
the case when the companies of the First
Regiment and the Chatham Artillery left.
The absence of music and any show of
parade was responsible in part for the few,
comparatively, who were out, and the ear
ly morning hour at which they left was
another reason why a crowd was lacking.
Nearly every man from Savannah who
left, however, had relatives down TO tell
about the parting, as. while the prospect
Goes not seem to be for a long or disas-
trous war, the men viii be absent from
their homes for long while, and may
possibly pass through danger before they
again see their loved ones. After the
men had boarded the train relatives,
friends and sweethearts stood by the WIN
dows for last words The train pulled out
