Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Port Royal, s. c., Sunday, May Is.
The naval reserves awoke bright and
early this morning and, after their
regular routine OF work, We're given
mess, which was an exceptionally good
one. 1t consisted of beef steak, grits,
bacon, coffee, fresh bread, etc. Pay
master Jones, cook Trent and Yeoman
Holton went to Beaufort yesterday
and laid in a fresh supply of edibles,
which the boys appreciated.
Yesterday afternoon the entire crew
were called up before Lieut.. G. 3. T.
Moore and signed the regular United
States navy enlistment blanks, there
by agreeing to go anywhere they are
assigned for duty, and on any ship.
Not a single man backed out.
The Passaic boys from Louisiana
called on board last night and ex-
changed songs and greetings. We are
invited to cal on them in a body to-
day.
Our boys present a very nice spec
tacle today, very different from the
working clothes of yesterday. At 10
o'clock all hands We're called to
ter, n the Sunday morning exercises
were gone through. The boys think a
great deal of Captain Moore and his
efforts in behalf Of them.
The entire port watch is ashore this
mOrning-gOne to Beaufort, Port Roy
al the Forts and other places of inter-
est near by. This evening the StarbOard
watch will have shore cave.
There are only eight of the reserves
rated as a~ble-bodied m eight as
ordinary the others, outside
of the petty officers, are classified as
landsmen. Yeoman Henry Parsley is
known aboard ship as captain Kidd"
and Jas. Sinclair as Friday" h
boys have all kinds of fun during their
leisure moments, but it is unlike a
cruise because there is not so much
spare time and they have everything
done in better order.
Considerable talk was occasioned last
night by a rumOr that the Spanish
squadron was off Charleston, some
where in his vicinity. Some Of the
men are anxious to try the guns of the
Nantucket and Passaic on them.
Two of the Louisiana boys met with
accidents yesterday. A hatch fell on
Seaman Frank Novels, breaking his
left leg in two places. Another sea-
man had his skull fractured.

OF that number Russell received l53, S>,
Watson 145. 266 and Guthrie 81 143. Without

lions share of the Guthrie vote for this

to stand together, but with fusion we
can't count at all. More votes would be
lost than we could hope to gain. There
are scores and scores of democrats that

Governor Russell has received a

that the arms and uniforms in the
state shout be used as far as possible
in equipping the First regiment, and
that the balance of the equipment will
be supplied by the government at the
destination of regiment, though the or
der does not state where this will be.
The same order will apply to the Sec
ond regiment, but as there are only
four state guard companies in it near
ly all its equipment will have to be
provided by the government"
L asked the adjutant general Wheth-
er this meant hat arms from various
points in the state where there are
'N~NO Gil companies pt
in and he said: No" that the gov
ernor refused to disturb companies in
equipment or arms which had vOlun-
teered and come here, and failed to get
mustered in" He added that the gov
ernor is not disposed to dea harshly
with companies which did not volun-
teer, as there may have been good
reasons for such failure. The adjutant
general says the Second regiment likes
it's new quarters at the fair grounds
and is pleased at being all together.
Colonel Burgwyn is also pleased.
Senator Buffers plan for fusion or
cooperation is that it shall apply to
