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.

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

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MAY 3, 1886.—TWELVE PAGES.
| Georgia regiment. At the battle of Green
| brier rivi r, fought Oct. 3, 1861.
j Capt. 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

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. ■>!

Capt. Bowen, I’nnenix U ffeiuen, C ipt.
Segan, Chatham Artillery. Capt.
Stephens, and Georgia Hussars, Capt.
Botin, of Savannah. The encampment
lasted for six days. 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.
The Voluuteei took an active part In the
war anil alter it closed were reorganized

ing from 14 u> 17 years, signed the roll
of membership, and assumed their pre
sent title, that of the Savannah Cadets,
rUctlng as their Captain, Walter S.
ChWbolm.
Owing to the estreme Touthlnlness of
muuy ot tbe ini'iubers, tbe attempt during
toe Hummer of that year to uaru the
corps ent.it in the service of tb Con
federacy proved a failure, i tie company,
however, entered the nervine of me B’ate

around ihe city, ami in guarding gun

Space will not permit the tracing of
tb“ir career through toe various incidents
of the war, in wbioh the Cadets performed
their duty to tbe Confederacy with Uouor
and credit. The casuities and losses sus
tained by the companv uttest their gal
lantry tn tbe field as long as the flag ol the
“Lott Cause’’ floated above them. On
May 3, 1865, the company, Capt. John VV,

THE PALMETTO GUARD.
One of South Carolina’s Most Hon
ored Organization.,.
With a record datiug hack to 1851 the
Palmetto Guard of Charleston, S. C., has
kept alive its organization through vary
ing fortunes until tbe present day. It
pride* iisolt upon a past that la without
stain, and on deeds that have become his
torical. .
Tue Palmetto Guard was found*d dur
ing the unlit tool exoi'etnent of 1851, wu*n
tiie mutterings were first h*ard that cul
minated in a bloody contest teu yoar*
later.
Tfie hlytnry of the association during
that ev/mful period Is tho history of our
coniui/m country. From tbe very incep
lion ot tbe war to tae closing seme in
North Carolina, tbe record of the I'ulmet
toi/v i* clear and ounoise; they did tbir
d/ljr, h'w well, tbe tew survivors atully

conflict bad cleared those who
were loft 1< It the old tie* were
too strong to be forgotten, and n
cnuritahle assi'cDtton was lormed. Thu

grand tnliitary parade led by Wade Hamp

After Hampton’s recognition as Gov

was the signing ot commissions for the
officers of the Palmetto Guard, now en

WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY.
The Company That, Was a Guard
of Honor to Lafayette.
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.
In 1876 it again as ttie color company of
the “Ceutennial Legion” celebrated the
national Centennial at Philadelphia, ami
in 1881 under Capt. A. W. Marshall, at
Yorktown the Centennial of ttie surrender
ot Lord Corn wains.
Thus for more than three-quarters of a
century tnis ancieut. corps has illustrated
in all its varied types, both iu peace arid
war, the citizen soldiery which is the
bulwark o''our country.
