DISSATISFACTION PRONOUNCED.
Battery II, Georgia Artillery, officers
and Men. Want to Muster out.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Aug. 23.-The boys
of Battery 3, Georgia Artillery, are TAX
ing a very prominent part in the general
dissatisfaction among the troops. The
dissatisfaction In the battery is of the
most pronounced kind, and 1t is stated
that SO per cent. of the men are anxious
to return to their homes at once. The
officers state that they themselves desire
to be mustered out, and in all probability
their desire will be gratIfied at an early
date.
The battery will leave camp tomorrow
morning on a ten days practice march.
The artillery brigade has as yet received
no orders to change their camps, and
therefore their practice marches have not
been declared off 1t Is stated that the
battery will march to Lookout Mountain
but there is an impression that the boys
will be marched to Atlanta and there be
mustered out 1t is stated that the citi-
zens of Atlanta are making great prepa-
rations to entertain the two Georgia bat
teries, and it is not at all unlikely that
they viii both be marched there.
Lieut. Armstrong, who has been on re-
cruitng service in Savannah for several
days, returned to camp to-day. He did
not obtain the total number required by
the battery, about ten more being needed
to complete the full complement. The
boys consider the fact that Lieut.. Arm
strong was ordered back here before he
finished recruiting as proof that the bat
terry is to be mustered out. n
Corps. Rossingnol and Bocon and Prl-
vate Geo. Hudson have also returned from
Savannah. Privates Tatum and Mills have
left camp for Savannah, where they go
on thirty days sick furloughs.
Sprgt Hewlett also left NIOn5oVr f0- CO
vannah, where he goes to recuperate
Sergt Papy has received a discharg
from the battery, and has returned to his
home.

FIRST FLORIDA GETS AWAY.
Soldiers Had an AII-Night, TiresOme
WHIT for Transportation.

Soldiers Had an AII-Night, TtresOme
Wait for transportation.
Fernandina, Fla, Aug. 23.-The First
Florida Regiment left to-day. The equip
page train left here at o'clock this morn
ing, and the first section of the train
bearing the troops left at II O'Clock to-day,
followed by the second section at p. m.
this afternoon.
Each company had plenty of room in
the cars. with three cars to the company,
a total of thirty-six cars, with Pullman
cars for officers and sick, who were all
taken with the regiment.
The regiment was to have gotten away
last night and the troops moved down to
the park near the railroad tracks, where
they were to load, and there awaited the
arrival of the cars, which did not turn up,
however until this morning about 8
O'Clock.
When morning dawned the regiment
moved down into the sandy streets of the
city and there rested until they were or
dered on cars.
The Thirty-second Michigan, who are
noted for their generosity and who the
est feeling for, sent over large pots of
coffee and gave the First Florida cup
each, which was very refreshing after
sleeping on the ground all night, expecting
to be ordered every moment to move. The
wait for transportation was a long one,
and few kilograms passed through Gen.
Carpenters hands from Washington 70
the transportation company. The time
was passed pleasantly by the men loiter-
ing around in the shade, and the First
Florida band, which is by far the best on
the ground, rendered many pretty selec-
tons to the gathering crowd, who came
to see the soldiers off. They went by the
Florida Central and Peninsular to Gala
han and from there to Huntsville over the
Plant system and Louisville and Nashville.
The Second New York is booked to
leave tomorrow for Troy, and they have
been advised that their cars would proba-
bly, be furnished early tomorrow morn
ing. They have not broken camp, but will
do so tomorrow, but don't expect TO get
off until Thursday.
The hospital train arrived to-day on its
third visit and will carry away tonight

division hospital and twenty from the reg

II. j. Lamar q sons store Totally
Destroyed at Noon Yesterday.
Macon, Ga, Aug. 23.-The wholesale drug
store and proprietary medicine manufac-
tory of H. J. Lamar & Sons was, with the
exception of some contiguous wareroOms,
totally destroyed by fire at noon to-day.
The establishment is said to be the largest
of its kind in the South.
The fire started in the basement, caused
by negro employe holding a lantern too
near varnish barrel.
The flames swept rapidly through the en-
tire building. and the fire department was
compelled 10 devote its attention TO the
saving OF adjoining buildings, one Of
which was the WoodPeavy furniture
house and the other the Philips men
furnishing store. The latter properties
suffered no other damange than from
smoke and water.
Had it not been for fire walls a million
dollars worth Of property might have been
destroyed.
The Lamer stock was valued at about
$4,000 and the building at $40 900. The
insurance upon the stock amounts to $685.
500, and the building, owned by w. G.. Sol
oman, is fully covered

Orders Unexpected and IA NumAcr OF
the Boys Got Left.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 2S.-At last all
the soldiers of the First Georgia Regi-
ment have gotten off to Knoxville.
The order to move came so unexpectedly
Sunday that a large number of the men
who were off on leave to visit the city
did not get back to camp in time to join
the command before they had packed up
and moved out of the park.
The railroads, too, were unprepared for
movement of the regiments at one time.
The Thrty-frst Michigan, having been
ordered to move at the same time the
First Georgia, preferred not to
go away until Monday morn
ing, and those who had fail
ed to go 10 camp in time found themselves
here without a command and without
transportation to Knoxville Because of
the great network of red tape these boys
who were left did not get away until to-
day. finally by dint of patience and walt
ing, having secured the proper transpor-
tation papers There are a few of the
sick left here in the hospital. all of whom
are improving very satisfactory. There
was great dissatisfaction among the men
at breaking up and going to new quar-
ters. and It Is safe TO say that at least
So per cent. of them wanted to go home
and be mustered out.

Many of the Hogs Want to Muster

Huntsville, Ala. Aug. 23.-The Second
Georgia is now encamped about four and
a half miles east of Huntsville.
The camp is not the most inviting place
in the world, being an old pea field recent
ly plowed over, and with not a bit of
shade.
When the boys arrived Sunday morning,
worn out with their long Trip of nearly
fifty hours from Tampa and The march to
camp through the hot sun, their comments
upon the new camp site were far from COM
plimentary. There were cheers from the
men, not for Huntsville. but for the once
hated Palmetto beach. The first night was
spent in shelter tents, but next day the
large tents were put up. Huntsville is very
poorly situated in a basin surrounded by
mountain ranges. with the exception of
the composite the boys are well pleased
with the location. Huntsville is a beautiful
little city, evidently enterprising and rath-
er swell.
The treatment of the soldiers by the peo-
pie is the most pleasant the Second Geor-
gia has yet experienced.
The Fifth Regular Cavalry, which ar
rived in advance of the Second Georgia,
gave the Georgians the blacklist reputa-
ton which they were able 10 paint, de-
scrbing them as toughs and things They
endeavored TO have this written up in the
local papers. There are a number of Geor-
gia people In Huntsville, however, and they
We're not disposed to believe such charges,
and the Georgians have done nothing since
their arrival here to confirm the reports
of the regulars.
The Fifth Cavalry was camped near the
Second Georgia at Tampa flights and were
quiet and nice while there. The excellent
conduct of the Second in quelling the riot
ing at Ybor City and Fort Brooke, of the
white and negro regulars. and the esteem
IN Wnicn they were afterwards nebu ny inc
people at Tampa, accounts for the spleen
of the Fifth.
The Fifth Maryland is encamped near
the Second Georgia, and 1t is needless to
say that 1t is composed of an entirely diff
ferent class of men from the Fifth Cav
airy
The men are beginning to discuss the
prospects of their being mustered out.
Many who have business interests or good
positions awaiting them are anxious to get
out, while others are indifferent on the
subject. A few who have special reasons
have already made applications for their
discharge. 1t is not likely that any action
win be taken by the regiment on the sub
ject If they are let go the last of October,
the majority of the men will be satisfied.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-08-24

Plenty of good water and camp in the
sun is what they have not had at Camp
Thomas.
There is a slight under current among
the men to have the regiment disbanded,
but The officers do not talk that way.
II is more than likely that the boys Of
McKee's division will yet see service In
Cuba. Gen. Mckee has strong pull and
is anxious to 80 to the front if only to
do garrison duty on the island.
The pleasant surroundings here Will
help to divert attention from the subject
of mastering out.
The First Georgia hospital will be cleared
this week of all its sick.
