Their Crews Picked and Awaiting
Examination.
Part of the naval reserves fully expect
to be gliding up and down the Georgia
coast in torpedo and patrol boats before
the end of the week. The orders to detail
four crews for this service, published in
the Morning News yesterday, have been
complied with, but the names are withheld
for official reasons.
Lieutenant Commander Broughton will
at once send the names to Commander All
ken at Brunswick and from there the re-
port goes to the navy department. As soon
as it is received in Washington the belief
in that government examiners viii be sent

While this is going on the government
may also send The necessary boats here

will come from and whether they are in
readiness. is a matter about which the Of
ncers claim to be in the dark. 1t is GER
tain the boats have been contracted for
by the government, however, and that they
can be supplied with necessary equipment
in short order.
Things are in good shape at the Tybee
signal station. Lieut.. Brcughton went
there yesterday for The purpose Of in

The Chatham Artillery has received
marching orders. and to-nighfs Central
train will carry 100 of them to Griffin.
The orders reached Capt. George P.
Walker about $50 O'clock last night
somewhat earlier than ne expected them.
They were signed Erwin. acting adjutant
general. and directed him to arrange for
the transportation of his men to Griffin
as they are examined. He was instructed
TO receipt to the railroad authorities for
the number of men transported, and as
far as possible, to bring bedding for the
men.
The orders were received too late to

with the railroad authorities, however, for
the transportation of the men tonight
and II is quite probsble that practically
all of those enlisted with the Chathams
will go at that time
There was quite scene of activity
around the armory hall all day yesterday
DR.. J. G. farrell, just appointed assist
amt surgeon, arrived from Atlanta yester-
day morning. and he and DR.. Geer spent
the entire day there examining the men
enrolled with the artillery.
During the day los out of the 1876 enrolled
were examined. OF these only fourteen or
about 10 per cent. were rejected. The re-
lection in each of these cases was due TO
some physical defect, in the joints, the
eyes or other organs of the body The OK
animation was quite rigid, though there

was little more latitude than is usually
given when men are examined for admis-
sion to the regular army.
However, the examination gives the ar
tllery "a good men, nearly all of whom
win undoubtedly pass the physical exam
ination they viii have TO go through with
on their arrival at Griffin. There they viii
be examined again by Maj Taylor, one
of the regular army surgeons. Besides
this the Galatians have about fifty more
men yet to be picked over. OF these they
have twenty-seven enrolled, ten are on
their way here from Columbus, expected
to arrive this morning, four are coming
from Fitzgerald, and two arrived last night
from Screven and two from Patterson.
Ca. The Galatians have still others on
the list, and they will have a hrst-class
crowd when they finish. Capt. Walker
wired Mr.. w. b. slade at Columbus last
night to have the ten men from there go
TO Griffin direct If they have not yet left.
The chances are however. that they are
on their way here, and will arrive this
morning
DR.. Geer left the city last night for Au-
susta, and the rest Of the examinations
here will be made by Or. FARRELL DR..

have been lacking had there been only the
rifles and accoutrements 10 lend st. Blanket
bags were strapped on their backs and
canteens hung at their sides. Haversacks
were also carried In their blanket bags
the men had blankets ana some wearing
apparel No great amount Of this was
carried however. as IL IS thought there
will be plenty in camp to be distributed
among the men as soon as they are mus
tered into the service.
Upon the announcement of Lieut.. Gray
son that the formation of the battalion
was complete, Col. Brooks assumed COM
mand. After the first manual commands
after the formation had been given and
executed, Col. Brooks gave the command:
'Fours right, march,"
The majority of the men in line were re-
cruits, and IL was rather a matter of sur
prise TO those having knowledge of milf
tary matters to note the manner IN which
the command was executed. The execu-
ton spoke we'll for the way the non-com-
missioned officers drilled the men during
the short time that elapsed between their
enrolment and departure. Good marching
order was preserved all the way to the
depot, due 10 the presence in ranks of the
old members Of the companies who vol
sunteered.
When the battalion of volunteers joined
the escort on Castor street The order of
march TO the depot was as follows: First
Regiment Band. under Leader Roehm;
German Volunteers. Capt. Henry KoI-
shorn; Oglethorpe Light Infantry Capt.
T. S. 4. Lucas; Georgia Hussars, Capt
Beirne Gordon; Savannah Cadets, the re-
naming members, commanded by Sergl
Tyson Lawton Cadets, Capt w L. Prit-

Gen. P. McGlashan Lafayette McLaws
Camp Confederate Veterans Capt. c. l..
Chestnut; Savannah Cadets Capt. R. S.
Nell; Republican Blues. Capt. George
Drummond; Irish Jaspef Greens, Capt. p

There was no delay after the volunteer
battalion came up on its escort. The
march was at once taken up, the band
playing enspiriGng music. "El Captain"
Dixie" and yankee Doodle" were among
the pieces played. Dixie was wildly ap-
plauded by the crowds that lined the
streets, and Yankee Doodle" was also
cheered, This being taken as an illustra-
ton OF the decadence of sectional feei-

Maj G. NJ. Ryals has just returned from
Southwestern Georgia, where he has a
large peach orchard, which he is watch
ing carefully and nurturing tenderly. He
says the peach crop is going to be a good
one this year, but he is disappointed in
several of the varieties with which he has
stocked his orchard, namely, the Lady In
gois, the Lone Stars and the Alexanders
These are all early peaches but they do
not seem to be doing well. The trees mad
plenty of blooms on them in the early
spring, he says, but now they have very
few peaches, and the crop from them will
be small.
Maj. Ryals said he would not give one
Thurber tree for a dozen Lady Ingols
None of these peaches are as good as The
Elberta, but they are all early peaches
ana that is what the fruit grower wants
1t is not so much the quality of the peacn
as the money that is desired by the frnit

Elbertas and other late peaches. but the

early varieties viii turn out Handsomely
Mai. RIVALS does not take much stock
in the report that there is danger Of frost
though he says he has had everything in
the truck line killed on April IS in one
year and on May In another. He be-
lieves now, however, that the truck farms
are out Of danger. He thinks that the os-
innate OF the potato crop heretofore given
is toe small. He considers that il will be
at least three-fourths of a crop, the bal
ance having been DANA ged by the cold
weather and the Colorado beetle.

left last night for Griffin. The entire bat
talon Will be in camp to-day
The Savannah troops viii probably find
a section of the camp already set apart
for their use. The space of the First Reg
iment will have been pre-empted by the
Macon commands that arrived at the
camp yesterday. Other companies of the
regiment will arrive at Griffin to-day and
tomorrow and Col. Lawton hopes to have
all his men in camp by Wednesday. The
companies forming the battalion under
Maj Wooten have reported ready to leave,
and Will go up from the southern section
of the state to-day and tomorrow, as the
medical examinations are completed.
The Greens Cadets and Blues assembled
at the regimental armory at o'clock, pre-
pared TO leave at any moment. At $3.50
the first call was sounded by the bugler
and a few minutes later the assembly
rang out First Lieutenant w. l.. Cray
son OF the Blues acted as adjutant, and
Private w. A. Reaves OF the Cadets acted
as sergeant major The battalion was
formed with the Cadets at the head of the
line, the Blues next and the Greens at
the rear. Some of the men inferred from
this that the seniority of the captains had
been settled but this will probably be n
matter that few days in camp viii see
fixed.
Before the formation OF the battalion u
the departing commands, another battal-
ion was formed out on the street. This
consisted Of the commands that were gu;
to act as escorts of the volunteers. Lieut..
Harry Richardson Of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry acted as adjutant in the forma :

command of Capt. Henry Kolshorn Of the

PREACHED a SERMON OF PlsAcE
Rev. DIR. schaefTer Points Out the
Causes of War.


Causes of War.
Rev. w. c. Schaeffer did not deliver his
sermon at the Lutheran Evangelical
Church last night on the DUTY of the
Hour" as he had intended doing, conclud-
ing that his congregation would be more
Interested in the departure of the troops.
DR.. Schaefer spoke instead Of the Cos
pei of peace, of which, he said, he felt
more fitted to speak than of war. Incl
dentally he alluded to war and discussed
the question of why il is that with the
Christian religion prevailing in all the
leading countries of the globe, these ma
tons stand continually in battle array
ready to enter upon the work of destruc-
ton. He explained this by saying that
the hearts of the so-called Christian peo-
pies have not entirely yielded to the re-
ligion of Christ Worldly greed and am
oItion still pervade them and hence the in
consistency of the numerous bloody wars
which have devastated the earth since the
Christian era begun.
II all hearts would yield fully to Christ,
he said, casting out all worldly ambitions
and desires, war would become thing
Of the past. 1t is for the Christian ma
tons to say whether war shall cease.
