GEoReIANS TO GO THURSDAY.
THIRD REGIMENT SAILS on ROU-
MANIAN FOR NUEVITAs.

Col. Berner's Men VIII soon he on
for Cubn-TwO BnttaIiOns of the
Eighth Massachusetts sail Early
This Morning on the Michigan for
Matanzas-ManitOba TO Carry over
Part OF the seventh Cavalry-Wul
Pay on Soldiers To-day.
The Third Georgia Regiment Is scheduled
to leave Savannah for Nuevitas on the
transport Roumanian Thursday. The or
ders to this effect were received by Col.
BelHnger, depot quartermaster. yester-
day The regiment. in all probability, will
be paid off by Mai. Bulls to-day. The
pay rolls were finished yesterday and the
men will doubtless get their money in am
pie time 10 expend it for such necessaries
and Injuries as they may desire to carry
with them TO Cuba.
Nuevitas is probably not an overly good
point to buy the articles that appeal most
to an American soldier and the greater
part of the money distributed by the pay
master Is apt to find its way into the
hands of the local merchants. Col Ber-
ner went up to Forsyth Sunday night, but
will probably be back this morning, and
the arrangements will then begin for the
movement of the regiment.
1t was thought that the quartermaster
general might direct that the Third Geor-
gia be shipped on the transport Manitoba,
now in port orders came yesterday
morning, though, that the original pro-
- saa1 70,
and that 1t be used for six troops of the
Seventh United States Cavalry, now at
Macon. orders were sent 10 the caval-
ny to hold themselves in readiness to pro
coed to Savannah. They will leave that
city probably tonight, but this will de-
pend on the progress that it made on the
ship toward putting it in condition for the
horses Carpenters went to work yester-
day putting up stalls, and il is thought
that the transport can be put in readiness
to move Wednesday night or early Thurs
day.
The same order that finally assigned the
Manitoba to the cavalry also gave Col
BelIinger instructions about the Third
Georgia The Roumanian is expected IN
to-day, and The Georgians will probably
be LOADED on il early Thursday. They Will
zee a hearty expression Of good will from
Sayannahians on their departure. One
company, Capt. Kolshorn's, has large
proportion of Savannahians in It, and in
! the other companies are many men who
have relatives or friends here. 1t is nat
urany hoped that the Roumanian will sail
in the day time, and the indications are
| that it will.
The transport Michigan, with the Second
| and Third Battalions Of the Eighth Mas
sachusets is expected TO leave the city
about o'clock this morning. The two
| battalions reached the city from Americas
at II o'clock yesterday morning. AS the
men had just been paid off, and the time
| the troops would have here was limited,
| il was not deemed advisable to permit any
| scattering Of the soldiers. They were ac-
| cordingly kept on the cars, which were
moved down to the wharf in the after
| noon. The men were all supplied with
! travelling rations and eat supper on the
cars 1t was not until early this morning
| tibet they went aboard the transport
There are twenty-seven officers, 722 en-
listed men and eighteen civilians in the
| Two battauons which are under the COM
! mand of Col. w, A. Pew, with Mai
! Graves in command Of the Second and
! Capt. Dow Of the Third Battalion. They
| so to Natanzas 10 join the First Battalion
The Minnewaska left Cienfuegos yester-
day for Savannah, and will arrive prob
ably on Thursday. 1t has not been de-
cided. in view of the recent changes, what
troops will he forwarded on it.
Nothing further has been done in regard
to the mastering out of the Maine Bat
| talon of Artillery. The men are expecting
to be paid off to-day or tomorrow by
| Mai. Bulls. He has paid off the bate
ries which are going West, and win go tC
Summerviile to pay off a regiment there.
The Thirty first Michigan Regiment ar
rives some time this morning, and viii
