tiary, has been appointed surgeon of Col.

ton of Brunswick, surgeon of the Fourth

con- surgeon of the Macon hospital
The assistant surgeons of Col Browns
regiment twill be DR.. Greer of Atlanta,
and DIR. A. T. Tuggle of LaGrange. The
chief surgeon has not been named
DIR. Mcintosh is one of the best ply
sicians in the state, and his appointment
to serve with Col. Lawtons regiment will
doubtless be. received with satisfaction
by every member of that company.
Col. Lawton said this afternoon that
WINE II HdS not yet Deen decided whether
the troops from Savannah and the lower
country will be mustered into the service
there or here in Atlanta, matters have
been arranged so that the men who enroll
themselves may stand the medical exami-
nation in Savannah The surgeons will go
there TO pass upon them, and thus If any
fail to pass muster they will be relieved
OF the inconvenience and expense of tray
cling several hundred miles for nothing.
The medical examination will be conduct
ed by regimental surgeons, assisted by a
detailed surgeon from the regular army.
After passing the medical test, the volun-
teers can be at once mustered into the
army, whether their equipments have ar
rived or not, and Ii is likely that this will
be the course pursued. 1t will take quite
little time TO do the mastering
In. The government keeps an ac-
curate description of every man i'm the
service, so that in case of loss there will
be no difficulty in Identifying them Capt.
MINIS who, as mastering officer, will take
these descriptions this afternoon fur
nished the Morning News with a list of
questions which each man will have to
answer to him, and which will be kent on
iile IN the department for future use as
contingencies arise in the service The de.
scriptive questions are as follows:
Name, rank age, height in feet and
inches, complexion. eyes, color of; hair.
color of: where born, town, county and
street; occupation, where enrolled, by
whom enrolled, when enrolled, time to
serve, residence, married or single; If sim
gle, name and residence of parents or
guardian.
After the concentration of the Georgia
troops here and formation of the regiments
and batteries, st is understood that they
will be ordered 10 Chicakamauga as a gen
eral rendezvous for the Southern volun-
teers.
A telegram received here this afternoon
states that Chckamauga and Washington
have been finally determined upon as the
points of rendezvous for the volunteer
forces, and Capt Irwin, acting assistant
adjutant general of the state. is author
ity for the statement that the Georgia
volunteers will go 10 Chickamauga
The news from Washington that Col Ed
Wight's application for commission as
brigadier general had been turned down by
the President gave Col. Oscar Brown
! boom for the place Col Browns friends
think that he should have this commission
inasmuch as 1t is to be given to an army
officer and they will doubtless make an
| effort to secure it for him. If he should be
promoted, there would be a vacancy in the
rank of colonel in the Georgia volunteers
! with Lieut.. Col Garrard of Savannah next
in line of promotion.
Gov Atkinson has not given up all hopes
that his services as a brigadier will be ac-
cepted by the President. He Is making no
effort to bring pressure TO bear upon the
| President but simply takes the view that
| he is the logical imam for the place mas
much as the Georgia troops. who are call
ed out by the President, are the state mill
tia and he is commander-in-chef of the
state forces
