The Officers of the Third Georgia
and Where They Come FrOm-No
Official Report as TO the Transport
which Is to Garry Them to Cuba.
Belief Expressed That They Are to
Go on the Chester.
The Third Georgia Regiment. IN com
mand of Col. Robert L. Berner, arrived
in Savannah yesterday morning between
and 5 o'clock, and is now established in
quarters at the plant of the Georgia Car
and Manufacturing Company, on the Ogee-
chez road.
The regiment came down In three sec
lions, two of passenger coaches and one Of
freight, carrying the quartermasters and
commissary supplies. The Central RAN
road switched the train right out to the
temporary camping ground, on their ar
rival, and none of the men were brought
into the city. The men all remained in the
cars until the reveille cali, and then be-
gan the work of unloading.
The officers tents were pitched in the
open space between the two large sheds
of the car works, while the men unloaded
their equipment and supplies under the
southern shed, which will serve them as a
shelter in lieu of tents, until their depart
ure by transport for Nuevitas
Immediately after unloading there were
numerous applica tons from the men for
passes to come into the city. There was
a particularly large number of requests
from members of Company K. Capt. Hen
ry Kolshorn's company, which was large
ly recruited from Savannah. Only FIVE
men from each company were allowed
passes. however, and this rule was pretty
closely adhered to.
A line was formed around the shed i'm
which the men and the property Were
housed and around the regimental corral
and the officers quarters. None Of the
men were allowed to go outside the line
curing the day, nor were any visitors to
Che camp allowed 10 go within. This ruls
as also pretty strictly adhered to. for
the reason that the men were pretty well
worn out after their nights ride, and the
government property was lying around I'M
der the shed. There were many visitors
to the camp during the afternoon, but
they were al. required to keep outside the
lines, almost without exception.
Gen Fltzhugh Lee of the Seventh Army
Corps, under whose command the Third
Georgia Will be during its stay in the city.
visited the camp with a number of his
staff officers in the afternoon Col. Ber-
ner had previously reported at Gen. Lees
headquarters in the morning. Gen. Lee
found the temporary camp in as good
shape as possible under the crcutp
stances.
Col. Curtis Guild, Jr, inspector general
of the Seventh Corps, has done a good
deai OF work in connection with the canlr
and spent considerable time there durins
the day. Under his direction a guard has
been placed over all the machinery in the
shed, the water supply and also the gov
eminent property belonging to the regi-
ment. Instructions were also given that no
fires should be built even in the companv
cook stoves within thirty yards of the
caves of the sheds The lumber for the
oncers ten floors was sent out, and a
supply OF wood was furnished by the quar-
termasters department
