8 TROOPS GETTING IN LINE. MINGMNG OK THE BLUE ASI) OKAY PJWM M ANY STATES. The Glory and Glitter to l*e Seen In Savannah for u Week—The Companies That will be Here ami That will Take Part in the Prills and Encampment. From every part of the country crowds poured into the city yesterday. Savan nah’s streets have rarely been so thronged and the crowds as yet are nothing to those on the way. Long trains rolled in tilled with people, borne had looked ahead tor accommodations and it was well they Lad for hy night not even , a oot oould be bad at the hotels. The hoarding-houses were crowd- j ed and people had to get places wherever they oould. Tba military formed the greater part of those that arrived earlv In the day. and crowds followed the uniformed troops torougb the streets from the depots to the encampment grounds. 'io-day will beam the week ot events which tne thousands have come to wit ness. It will be ushered in w ith nil the ec at and inspiriting ceremonial that the importance of the occasion demands, iOf the ioter-Mate drills that have been held throughout the country during the last several years, the [ resent one promises not only to be the largest but tne most succes-till. The prizes to be divided are not claimed to be considerable*. Tney are more by way of a spice to add zest to the contest. And vet tbev will have more than a mere intrinsic worth. They will be competed for by the best drilled organizations in the South, and the company that carries away the first prize in any drill will justly deserve it. No effort bus been spared by the | Chatham Artillery to make the drills and encampment the granriost that the South has ever witnessed, and the company has been backed by tbe citizens ol Savannah with ayenerousmunificeuco. livery preparation jios-ible has been made"for the com'oriab e entertainment of the thousands that will be in the city during the week. The encampment, which developed giround the Cnaibam Artillery Centennial at a nucleus, took its origin "solely in the ■desire of the artillery to bring together its friends (or a celebration of its one bundreth anniversav. For years tbe com panr have been looking forward to the celebration of this Centennial in a man ner appropriate to tbe occasion, by a reunion of companies from different parts of tbecoumry. The peculiar posi tion which tbe artillery have so long main tained in the afflictions of the citizens of Savannah, together with the number ol gallant command? to which they are in debted for honois and courtesies in the past, would not admit ol us being done on any modest scu'e. One step led to -acoiher. Tue problems bow to furnish a varied entertainment for all tbpir fr ends, of so disposing them thattbev could meet and mingle and know each other to best advantage,ol bringing to light not unrely tbe social qualities, hut the military perfection lor which many of tbe South's companies are bo justly celebrated, could be answered only by'the di ill and tournament. These tbe artillery now throw open to their guests. THIS CAMP’S COMMANDANT. CoL Charles ft. Olinstead, Comman dant of Camp Washington. Col. Charles H.

THE BUSCH ZOUAVES. St. Louis’ Famous Military Corps— Something- of Its History. Tbe Busch Zouaves were organized in 1882 in St. Louis by Mr. Adolphus Busch, Presidentof the Busch-Anbeuser Brewing Association of Bt. Louis, from whom the company takes its name. The Captain of the company. T. Rosser Roemer, is the non of Maj. R mmer. of the Confederate armv, who was so wel known throughout many portions of the South during tbe war. Under tbe skllliul command ami oloso attention of Capr. Roemer the Zouaves have become de servedly tamous. They have wou first prizes in successive cont-sts in ihe great military competitive drills at Nashville, Houston, Dubuque, St. Louis Mobile, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Jackson ville. and Road House, 111. They attended VlcePresldet Hendricks’ tuneral and.'U'efe awarded tue post of hoygpq gg |f special body guard iintwmiVely around the hearse. In Washington on March 4, 1885, imithf* 'A,S'?.f,TOn of tbe inauguration ol -i’lesident Cleveland tb-y weie reviewed by the l’resident and Vice President, to whom tbev were personally present'd. Tney received enthusiastic plaudits from tue vast crowd which wimessed their novel performance. In fact they literally captuiod Washington by storm. The dress ot tho organization is striking, whether seen singly or in company. During tne combinations which occur in their tactics, niuiiital at arms, drill, marching. etc., the tableaux are very striking. The sharpness and fa editv with winch the men obey their com tuai dr is a marvel even to veteran and expert soldiers. TUe orders seem to be nothing more than a rapidly uttered jar gon, but the men obey them instantly, and their movement* seem t be simply a response or echo of the spoken words. In their formation of column*, lines, positions of attack and deiense, the movements are made with a oelenty that is startling. Th It manual is done with a rapidity ami dexterity that appear neernmentio". Their elan and dash present a singularly pleasing and attractive picture of anima tion and are tbo perleclion of muscular military action. In tne presentation ol their <]U ck lightning drill, the evolu tion* and handling of their guns seem like magical translormatlous rather than tbe work ol human bands. The appear auoeof this combination of whipcord ten dons, muscles ol steel, snarp eyes, quick action, clear intelligence and hardy bodies of perleot hi alth on tuti drill grounds of Camp Washington will be a revelation of that class of military perfection which captures the attention ami applause of tne crowds whenever they appear. After leaving Bavannah the Zouaves will turn homeward, stopping at Macon Mav 10, where an exhloitlnn drill will he given. On May 11 tuev roach Vicksburg, whore they will participate in another encampment ami prize drill, lasting till May 16, during which they will be the guests ot tho Volunteer .'-oittlirons, of that city. Tho companv will return to St. Louis May 17, ait-r an atisenoe ol twenty day*. A handsome company badge has been gotten up. which will ta* worn by the company aud its triends during their Southern trip. Tbe hackgrou.’d is nfold gold, with heavy em bossed gold fringe, and nine small blue ribbons banging I.om the centre, each ! i ibiwin bearing date and town where the ! prize was captured, being nine In all. | For top piece there Is a metal bar with i ro”nd lelters “Buach Zoußves.” The company ha* mads ooniracta to drill at tue London Exhibition next year for two mouth*.

Tbe Gate City Guard was organized in 1855, and has occupied a prominent post, tlon in tbe volunteer forces or the Btte trom that time until tbe present.

Henry Jacksou, tbe laie com- I manding officer of the company, saw bis ! his first active service, when a boy of 16. i This fact, and his associations with tbe ! Gate City Guard at that tim*\ l**d him to ; take command of it after the war. Tbe j company went through the entire strug gle of the Confederate ■'tat.-s. Since the conclusion ot hostilities it has erected a superb armory in Atlanta at a coat of about !WO,(XK), and It is the only white fn ; lamry company, strange to say. Ib that j city. Some weeks since it was deter -1 mined that oacb company competing for the prizes at the Caatnam Centennial must be commanded in person by its ■ Captain. As Capt. Jackson, on acoonnt of the pressure of business engage ments. nas not been able to give any time for many years to the practice drills of the company, it involved the necessity of his resignation. The company, rather than accept this re sult, unanimously voted not to go to Ba vatioab.but upon Capt. Jackson’s slating that he would still resign as he thought it was their duty to oe present a' suoh an im portant Slate military encampment, the company reconsidered its action. Lieut. A. C. Sneed was toen elected Captain. He is a most accomplished soldier and gentleman, and theconunand will doubt, less acquit themselves with credit in all contests m which they may engage with him at the head. The company has never before been en gaged in an tnter-dlate contest, and is entered tor both series of prizes. Miss Georgia Lamar, daughter of Col. C. A. L. Lamar, o' this city, killed at the buttle of Columbus, is the sponsor of this gallant command, hbe and her attend ants will wear the company badges dur tng the wrek ol tne encampment.

THE MACOV VOLUNTEERS. The Company that Organized the First Encampment In Georgia. The Macou Volunteers were first or ganized April 23, 1825, aud consisted of 40 members. Iu September, 1831, tbe com panv was reorganized, and in 1832 held the first military encampment in Georgia. Believing that tne most efficient military knowledge and discipline was to be ob tained by regular encampments, Ihe Ma cou Volume r proposed tbe subjeol to tbe several independent corps of the vicinity. On Mav 8, 1832, t.b’e Georgia Guards, Capt. f’lith.Vier'., ol and the ,I'mnroe Musketeers, Capt. Ca ban lyg, of Forsyib, attended the invlta •don aud were escorted into camp iu tbe vicinity ot' Macon. Camp duty was per formed lor four days. In the early part of the year 1836 the massaore of Maj. Dade and his command and the barbarous destruction ot lire by tbe Indians in Florida roused tbe feelings of Ibe citizens of neighboring Stale*. Among the first to tender tbeir services to tfie Governor of Georgia were the Ma con Volunteers. They were accepted and took part In several" tights. On May 1, 1840, the corps mustering 72 men attended an encampment at Suvau uau. Tbe other companies present Were tbe Clinch Riflemen, Capt. Starus, and Artillery Capt. Gould. ■>!

It was tbe most impos ing aud brilliant military display ever witnessed In the State to that da.e. Tbe whole b tly of troops was uudercommaud ot Col. Joseph VV. Jackson. On May 20. 1813, the Macon Volunteers visited '-avannaii again. It was on this visit that the corps was presemed, in the pr.-seuuo Of 1,00) ladies and gentlemen, with a most superb banner, of exquisite handiwork, made by tbe two accomplished daughters ol Capt. "Bowen. In May, 1851. tbe Macou Volunteers made their third visit to Savannah.

Of the many splendid military organiza tions in Camp Washington probably nono will attract more attuution than tbe Governor’s Horse Guard, of Atlanta, and deservedly so, tor there is not a finer or more inugnlflcent-iooking company of mounted citizen soldiery to be found. From C*pt. John Vlilledge, the courtlv officer in charge, down to the lowest private, they are all thorough cavalry men and earnestly in love with their organization. The command was organized by Capt. Milled.'e. March SI. 1883, shortly after hi* visit tithe •e-qui-Cetiienilal here,where he saw our gallant Georgia Hussars drill and o pleased wan lie with hi* frlerd, Capt.

The movement met with much fa vor in Atlanta, and in a short while he organ'zod a company with 63 active anil 16 exempt members. Tne history ot the G >v/ ruo.'s lloise Guard Is necessari ly brief, hut biilllant. So rapidly dul they improve that a few months after r. gantzation they went over to Macon bv request atul ’ gave a public tilt that won them great fume throughout the state.

The Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, was organized in 1808, amid the throe* of national patriotism growing out of the collision between the British frigate Leopard and the Ches apeake, of tbe United States navy. Its tirst commander was William Louudes, tbe author ol the celebrated sentiment, “The Presidency is neither to be sought nor declined’” In 1824 it was selected by tbe Governor of South Carolina, with tbe old Fusiliers Francaise, as tbe spec al guard of honor to tbe Marquis de Latay ette. Iff 1827 the widow of 001. William Washington, of the Revolution, selected this of ail Ihe volunteer corps of Charles ton to be the custodian of her husband’s battle flag, which is to day cherished as a sacred relic by tbe corps, and is tbe only Revolutionary battle flag iu the United States which is borne in the ranks oi a command of to-day. In the intense political excitement in South Carolina in 1830-31 tne command shared the fortunes ot the Union party. In 1836 it made a prompt response to the call of the government for military aid iu the Seminole war in Florida under Capt. Uenrv Ravenel. In 1875 the corps, under command of Maj. R. C. Gilchrist, paraded the streets ot Boston, under tne toids ot their “Eutaw Flag” and tbe “Stars anj Stripes” in the celeoration of the Centen uial of the battle ot Bunker Hill.
