There was not much going on yes

the usual routine duty, and all the in
terest was centered in the various ex
ercises taking place In the afternoon.
The day was warm and dusty as here-
but made much pleasanter by
invigorating brcezA which swept

opportunity offered during the past
week to the volunteers of Georgia,
particularly to the younger members,
to learn practiele duties of the soldier
cannot fail to give impetus to the mil
itary spirit of Georgia as each now
returns to his appointed work.
The officers and visiting companies
of Georgia, and her sister States,
have been received with a distinction
and courtesy which none can ever for
get. Their arrival was heralded by
the booming of cannonade, the milita
ry of Rome, and many - citizens met
them at the cars and escorted them to
their rendezvous, and depositing their
arms they were taken to the hearts
and homes of the families of the “Hill
City,” where they have been enter
tained with the hospitality of a true
Georgia welcome and they will all
carry with them to their distant
homes the grateful memories of these
distinguished courtesies.
To the Committee of Arrangements,
to the officers and soldiers of the Rome
Military who have done so much to
give comfort and interest to this visit
and to the ladies and gentlemen of the
city of Rome who have vied with each
other in their hospitalities, the Colonel
Commanding in his own behalf and
in name of the visiting military would
return his profoundest and most grate
ful acknowledgements. The heart
swells with emotion which words
feebly expresses as we bid you one and
all adieu. By order of
Clifford W. Anderson,

PRIVATE WILLIAM ME YLE HABERSHAM.
It is becoming common to surmount Confederate monuments with the
figure of a private soldier. The splendid monument in Augusta has four
statues, some twenty feet from the base, of distinguished officers. They are
Gen. Lee, Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson, Gen. W. 11. T. Walker and Gen. T. 11.
R. Cobb. But high above these stands the figure of a private soldier. In
honor of this noble class of heroes, so well represented at “Camp Lee,” we
to-day present the picture of the young brother of Capt. Joseph CJay Hab
ersham, whose picture we published on Sunday, and who fell in the same bat
tle and only a few hours later m the tight. This fact has given them the
name of “The Hero Brothers,” a title their vjilor and patriotism makes emi
nently appropriate.
THE OFFICER’S CONVENTION
TO COMMENCE TO-DAY AND
CONTINUE UNTIL ALL MIL
ITARY BUSINESS IS
TRANSACTED.
A GREAT MANY DISTINP*
r;iT<■ •
ENT AND IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS TO BE
DISCUSSED.
SHORTER COLLEGE CHAPEL
THE PLACE OF MEETING.
The convention of the commission
ed officers of the State will convene
this morning at 10 o’clock, a. m., in
the spacious chapel of Shorter Col
lege. This will be the largest conven
tion of the kind ever held in the State
and many questions of importance
will be considered. Distinguished
officers from all over the State will be
present and withal, it will be quite an
interesting meeting. Short speeches
will be indulged in by the different
members, which will doubtless be
listened to with rapt attention. The
vital question of the convention, and
one which lias agitated the minds of
the military men all over the State is
AN APPROPKIATION ’FOR AN ANNUAL
ENCAMPMENT.
This is an important question and
will be discussed at length, as to (he
best manner in which to bring it be
fore our legislature. If the question
is properly put before that distinguish
ed body, we have not a doubt but what
it will be carried and a handsome ap
propriation made every year for an
annual encampment. No man with
sound judgment can fail to see the
importance of such an appropriation.
Our militia must be kept together for
the proper defense of our country, and
they will not endure the expense and
trouble without some appreciation of
their worth. They have
EXPENSE ENOUGH
in buying their uniforms and thous
ands of other tilings which they pay
for out of their own pockets without
a murmur, and a small appropriation
will be sufficient to have these re
unions annually. They foster the
military spirit of the State, and keep
our militia in perfect organization.
The band will lie present this morn
ing and will discourse music for the
occasion. The ladies are especially in
vited to be present this morning and
all are welcolne.
The Tribune office was honored
with a call last evening by the Misses
Ramey, accompanied by Messrs. Joe
Magnus and Alex Cohen.

Ttae Citv,” Improving.
Since the first encampment, held
last July, Rome has made great im
lirovement in heii general appearance
and business activity. No handsom
er or more imposing blocks of busi
ness houses can ba found in any city
in the fctate than Hie new ones to
the main street.
and the Nevin Opera House and tlj.e
Masonic Temple and the Lilir
building rank in attractiveness.
The Rome Female College, the count}'
jail (one of the best in the South), and
the Yancey block, are also worthy of
notice. All the new buildings are
unusually showy in their outside fin
ish.
I should think there were at least
twenty-live new dwelling houses in
course of erection, not a few of which
are quite attractive. The elegant new
residence of Col. D. S. Printup will
lie one of the largest and costliest in
the State, and is being constructed in
a superior manner. The work-is be
ing done by Mr. J. E. Miller, of At
lanta, and other skilled mechanics.
Rome has one of the best and neat
est telegraph offices in the State, and
the dirtiest and most inconvenient
post office in the South. It couldn't
be any worse. in the
Savannah Netos.
THE GEORGIA lIIEITARY.
Hosier of Artillery Companies.
Having given complete rosters of
the battalions and detached infantry
and cavalry companies of the State,
avc iioav add a roster of the artillery
commands.
While there are few in number, one
of them is next to the oldest military
companies in the United States, and
bears upon its venerable brow the
honors of nearly a century’s service.
The following are the only com
mands fully equipped and uniformed
for service : The Chatham Artillery,
of Savannah, organized in 1786; The
Washington Light Artillery, of Au
gusta ; Martin’s (now Howell's) Bat
tery, of Sandersville; the Cherokee
Artillery, of Rome.
The Valdosta Artillery, the Bain
bridge Artillery, and the Atlanta Ar
tillery, organized some years ago by
Gen. Win. Mcßae, have, we think,
been disbanded. This is true of the
latter organization, whose uniforms
are now Avorn by Bentley’s Atlanta
Blues, a company of colored mem
Capt. John T. Wheaton, who is the
senior officer of artillery, is an expe
rienced soldier, commanding in fig
ure, graceful in movement, and a
splendid specimen of a veteran artil
lerist. Although strict and exacting
when in command, Captain Wheaton
is a prince of entertainers and a most
genial and popular gentleman.
To the Military.
We are authorized to state that the
steamer Sidney P. Smith will be
placed at the disposal of the Military
for excursions down the river on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the
•actual cost of running expenses.
Nothing is charged for the use of the
steamer or her officers. 'Die cost of
fuel ami for hands for an excursion
of four hours not exceed fifteen dol
lars.
