There was not much going on yes terday foienoon at the camp, except 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 /myiJlie ci tv from inoridiui 'till even ing. The departure of the ABbeville Riflels left but live f||l companies in camp, but detachments of the Gate City Guard, the Atlanta Greys and Rilles remained over. The boys in camp seem to enjoy themselves and will remain until to-morrow, which is the last day. INSPECTION OF THE TROOPS. One of the features of the afternoon was the inspection of the troops com posing the battalion of Lieut. Col. E. J Magruder, in accordance with or ders of his Excellency, Gov. Alfred 11.

The companies forming the battalion, the Griffin Light Guards, Spaulding Greys, Rome Light Guards and Hill City Cadets were promptly on the parade ground at 4)i o’clock and were duly inspected by the Adjutant General. There was a large number on the ground to wit ness the ceremonies, and all were well pleased at the manner at which the various exercises were performed. Yesterday afternoon the rifle teams of the different companies in camp contested for the championship of the State. For the teams of ten men, only three entered, namely : the Chat ham Artillery, Cherokee Artillery and Rome Light Guards.

A suit able prize has been awarded to the Chathams and Mr. Walker and they now hold the championship of the State. It will bo contested for again in Rome at the next annual encamp ment - Immediately after the target shooting the troops tiled out of camp and marched to the dancing platform when their best drilled men entered for the contest for the BEST DRILLED MAN in camps. The prizes were a beauti ful gold medal, valued at $35 00, and fifteen dollars in gold, for the best drilled man, and ten do’lars in gold for the second best. The rules of the contest were, that no men were al lowed to drill unless the companii;* to which they belonged were in camps, and would stay the whole’ encamp ment week. The following men en tered : GRIFFIN LIGHT GUARDS, Corporal Thos. N. Hatton, Jonn T. Chambers, Jr., L. D. Drewry. J. T. Stephenson, Geo. P. Nichols, J. F. McNeal, James J. Couch. Win. T. Sears, J. J.

Dress parade came off as usual, and the following special order was read: Headquarters Camp Lee, ( Near Rome, Ga., July 12,1880.) GENERAL ORDER NO. 7. The Colonel Commanding in part ing with the troops of Camp Lee ex presses his thanks to the officers and soldiers of the several volunteer or ganizations under his command for their hearty - co-operation in the main tenance of gbod order and discipline WMg -TtiTP’ 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, Col. Com’d'g. R. G. Gaillard, Capt. and Ass’t. A. G.

JULY 13, 1880. < '' j ~ fllWJMlfliilg 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. Beautiful silver comb, silver card cases and silver fruit knives, just re ceived and for sale, low, by Veal & Son. junc 18, dlt-w4t. 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. Miscellaneous Advertisements.
