Camp Richmond. )
Augusta, Ga., June 19, IS9O. (
The rain poured, the wind blew, the trees
jell the bouses shook, but Gov. Gordon re
v e wed the state troops at Camp Richmond
to-day- H during the entire time here in
which the soldiers have had opportunity to
sispiay true soldierism they have failed,they
certainly did not fail to-day.
Lieut. Terrett is a very croud man of the
conduct ot the Georgia soldiers to-day. He
jjjd whatever else seemed showy about
them their conduct was that of genuine
joidiers. They passed through the day just
5j if nothing unusual were happening.
The governor came out to Camp Rich
mond to-day and took dinner. He rode
shout, visiting Col. Gordon at his head
quarters on Cavalry hill. He went through
the camp, and expressed himself as being
very much pleased. While he was engaged
in this the usual little cloud began to rise
a the south. It has risen everyday since the
soldiers have been here. Nobody dreamed
that it meant mischief. When 3 o’clock
came the heavens began to get speckled.
A cloud was rising from every side, but
still nobody suspected that a rain
would fall on Camp Richmond.
Col. Mercer, after riding over the
geld, sent the men back into
camps, but after finding that he was acting
so much against the predictions of tho
weather prophets, he ordered them out
aeain, and soon the race course in the expo
sition grounds was full of soldiers. Surely
5,000 people witnessed the ceremony.
THE FIRST REGIMENT.
The First regiment formed in prompt
order, the Second battalion balked, but
finally formed right, the Seventh battalion
came in and Col. Gordon marshaled his
cavalrymen In splendid order. The Ninth
battalion was unaccounted for. There was
a few minutes’ delay waiting for them.
The governor and his staff were mounted in
front of the grand stand, facing the
soldiers. The governor wore a silk hat and
a Prince Albert suit. He rode a prancing
fillv, which stamped her feet impatiently,
and, sniffing the air, threw her head up and
down, bowing to the military. Before the
>'inth batallion left its quarter the rain be
gan to fail. It came right along without
any ceremony. The drops were large
enough to blind a man.
Somebody saw that the governor would
get wringing wet if be stayed on his horse,
and they offered to hold his horse, in order
that he might come out of the rain. The
governor refused to leave his horse. An
umbrella was theu offered him, but he re
turned it soon and ordered the review.
A REGULAR CLOUD-BURST.
At this juncture the rain subsided and
the Ninth batallion came prancing into
line. They were not more than in line
when a rain storm from the south and one
from the west met over Richmond, and
there was a clould-burst.
Lieut. Ronan of the First Georgia regi
ment said that over three inches of rain
fell. He measured it in his boots. Blinded
almost by the rain, the governor rode
around the soldiers, removing his
hat to the officers and men, and returned to
his first position to let the men pass in re
view. Unflinchingly the soldiers passed
through the manual with all the ease and
elegance possible. The First regiment, led
by the Irish Jasper Greens, under Capt.
John Flannery, was the attraction. Loud
applause greeted the men as they passed
the grand stand. When the regiment was
passing the governor, Col. Mercer reminded
him that it was the First regiment, and
Gov. Gordon tnrned in his saddle and re
marked: ‘‘l never saw the equal of it.
The men do not know that it is raining.”
The new uniforms of the men were droop
ing, but the faces of the boys were as
cheerful as they could be,
It was the grandest sight over seen in
Augusta. Cheer after cheer went up from
the immense throng in the grand stand.
People shouted themselves hoarse. Every
body was proud of the Georgia soldiery.
"It showed what kind of stuff the boys are
made of,” an officer said.
Lieut. Terrett was laughing throughout
the entire time. He rode around the Sec
ond battalion, of which he has command in
the absence of Col. Wylly, and the men
applauded him.
COL. REILLY AT HIS POST.
Col. Peter Reilly was indisposed during the
day, and he was advised to leave the Held,
but he stood to his post and took the
weather with his men. Capt. John Flan
nery came out to-day and took charge of
his men for the first time on dress parade.
He has not been very well since he has been
in Augusta, but as tbe governor was going
to review the troops the captain determined
to be at the head of his company. When
the squad came up he was begged by his
men to go to his tent, but he
stoutly refused. He carried his
men through all right. Seeing that
their captain, sick as he was, braved the
storm, the men braced up and showed that
they were worthy of suoh a gallant and
true captain. The step of the old Cadets
was as natural as ever. The boys moved as
easily and as smoothly as their friends ever
saw them, and the applause which, they
received made Capt. Brooks mighty proud.
The parade lasted the usual time. The
rain could not drive the soldiers from the
field. After the review the commands were
marched to the camp. Before entering
their tents the Cadets stripped themselves in
front of their tents, and stretching a
a wire along in front of the tents they hung
every vestige of clothing on it. They then
got inside of their tents and put on dry
“duds.” Col. Reilly returned to find his
tent blown down and everything in it wet.
LIEUT. M’HABRIE HURT.
The guards’ tent blew down on Lieut.
HcHarrie of the Oglethorpes. Several
guards were in the tent at the time, and in
their endeavor to get out of the danger one
°f them speared the lieutenant on the chin.
The wouud was not a very painful one. The
tent in which the arrested soldiers were
Held also blew away, and the boys escaped.
The infantry camps fared worse than those
of the cavalry. Ail the cavalry tents are
large and strongly built, and the winds
could not blow th6m down.
A pretty presentation took place at the
Cadets’ camps this afternoon. Capt. Brooks
Presented to Commissary H. J. Sutcliffe, in
behalf of the men, a pair of gold sleeve
buttons and a gold scarf pin. Capt. Brooks
drew the men up in line and ordered Sut
cliffe to the front and center. The captain
said that the Dresentation was from the men
a, ‘d officers, in appreciation of tbo good
services rendered bv the commissary
during the time in camp. The commissary
has sought in every manner to provide
comfortably for the men. He has suc
ceeded. He has proven himself worthy in
every respect. He has accomplished what
a good many would have left undone.
The gift, Capt. Brooks said, is a token of
fsteem from the men. He expressed the
Hope that the commissary would be with
the company in many more encampments.
Commi-sary Sutcliffe was taken so un
awares that he could not speak. Ho saiuted
the captain and took his place at the head
°f the line.
A BEVY OF BEAUTIES.
Before the presentation was over a crowd
°f pretty young ladies from the city came
through the camps and wore in time to
witness it. Sutcliffe said that the boys
hdght have known that such a surprise
would have upset him. In a quiet way at
the supper table he told them how much he
appreciated the gift. There were twenty
young milkmaids in camp to-day. They
were guests of the Columbus Quaras, better,!

they have a regular hotel bill of fare.
A VETERAN IN THE RANKS.
Private Brown,an aged confederate mem
ber, is here w ith the German Volunteers.
He is active, doing as much as anybody
e.se. He was orderly sergeant during the
war under Capt. Derst. Lieut. Schwarz of
the \ olunteers is regarded as a thorough
officer. He has improved his company won
derfully since he has been at Camp Rich
mond. He said to-day that if he could
remain here longer he would be willing
to put his men against any iu camp.
Capt. Derst is pleased with the
improvement of the men. Private “Tug”
Wilson of the Cadets is regarded as an
exceedingly clever man. The boys sav tbat
his cleverest tricks are performed when he
is trying to get out of duty. He is said to be
lazy. Wilson denies it. He s id that be
cause he refused to allow a soldier to lean
upon him or to sit upon his lap, and other
like trifling things, he is called lazv. Wil
son said that the boys do not understand
that there is a science in what he does,
Said he. "keep them away from you and
jou will not be tired when you are called
upon for duty. Again if you break a gun
or ruin a helmet, exchange it for a better
one with some of the boys in their absence,
and then save yourself the wearisome job of
looking after the broken things. You are
not tired, then.” Never try to repair a
broken chair, Wilson says. Always put it
in some fellow’s tent and take away a good
one.
A BIG FOUR.
Capt. Dixon’s company has a “big four”
in it. The “four” is composed by four
large, robust soldiers, who wear, in the
captain’s absence, a big flag on their left
breast. They are considered the jolliest
fellows in camp.
Capt. John Reilly of the Savannah Volun
teer Guards came to-day. He is pleased
with the camp. He was out at the dress
parade and governor’9 review, and he pro
nounced it splendid.
Capt. Kenan of the Macon Hussars is
making the Cadets’ headquarters his
home during the encampment. He is
pleased with the encampment. In fact, all
military men who have visited the encamp
ment have pronounced it a grand success.
Acting Sergeant Maj. Tison of the Cadets
has been heaped down with compliments.
Lieut. Terrett has singled him out from
among the four other sergeant majors every
afternoon when the guard mount was
formed. Tison makes a splendid officer and
Lieut. Terrett said that he appreciated his
ability very much.
LETTERS FROM HOME.
It is very interesting to watch the boys
?et letters from home and their best girls.
hey hauut the captain’s headquarters when
the mail man comes around, and whenever
a man’s name is called he “fairly flies” to
the tent. Sometimes he gets a paper, and
often he is detailed to some duty. He comes
out of the captain’s tent with a woe
begone look upon his face when the
letter that he looked for never came. There
is rejoicing, though, when he does get it.
A young officer got a letter in one of the
Savannah camps to-day, and before he
opened it his companions took it away from
him, and it was in the night before he got it
again.
THE COUNTERSIGN.
“Shiloh” was the countersign last night,
and the guards lodged all soldiers who failed
to give it in the guard tent, if the soldier
was caught out after hours. A guard from
one of the companies in some of the small
towns, was|patrolling the exposition road,
when a straggling soldier came in from the
city.
“Halt!” said the guard.
“I want to come in,” renlied the soldier.
“Yon can’t do it,” stoutly replied the
guard.
“Well, but I must come in,” retorted the
soldier.
“Can’t help it,” replied the guard, “Capt.
Field told me to be shore not to let no
fellow in here less he said ‘Shiloh,’ and I’m
not going to do it.” The straggling soldier
pissed in. Capt. Field and CoL Mercer
gave “Atlanta” as the countersign in mak
ing ud the guard mount to-day, but for some
reason CoL Mercer exchanged the name
after Capt. Field was gone. The United
States officer bad occasion to come back to
camp after 10 o’clock, and he started
to pass the guard, when the soldier
halted him. A Savannah soldier thrust his
gun out and commanded ihe officer to halt,
that he had given the wrong countersign.
Capt. Field was compelled theur to get a
lieutenant to pass him over.
GRANTED A PENSION.
Col. William W. Gordon signed the pen
sion papers for W. H. Colding, a maimed
confederate soldier, to-day. Colding was in
the battle at Kennesaw and was shot in the
head and a piece of skull crushed in. He is
in reduced circumstances, and has lived ud
here ever 6ince the war, getting no pension
because he was too poor to go to some of his
friends who were with him in the fight at
Kennesaw. As soon he came to camp to-day
he was identified by J. Bird of the Fifth
cavalry regiment, and also by J. H. Long,
formerly of “G” troop, Liberty county,
and James Mart’in of the same troop. They
met on Cavalry hill, and it was almost like a
revelation. They went back over the old
times, and each told the other what
has passed since those times.
Mr. Long brought the maimed veteran
to Col. Gordon's tent and the colonel signed
the papers, which were presented to Gov.
Gordon. The pension will be granted.
Surgeon Owens of the camp got his medi
cal bill passed by the advisory board to-day.
There was formerly no provision for medi
cines, and tbe companies would have to
bear the expense. Over 8100 worth of
medicine has been procured and the expense
would have been an unnecessary one had
the bill not passed. Tbe board regarded
the bill very favorably at once, and saw
that it was a feature which had been over
looked by it. Z. D. R.
BREAKING UP CAMP.
Start of the Troops to ‘‘Johnny Comes
Marching Home.”
From the Staff Correspondent of the. Hews:
Camp Richmond, )
Augusta, Ga., June 21. 1890. )
Every soldier left Camp Richmond this
morning. The salute was fired at 12 o’clock
and the encampment was formally closed.
The last ceremony, which was witnessed by
a vast throng of people, was a battalion
parade. It took place in front of the com
mandant’s headquarters, on the drive. The
First Georgia regiment paraded first, fol
lowed by the Second, Seventh and Ninth
battalions. Each company of tbe First
drew up in line, and was drilled by Adju
tant M. A. O’Byrne and CoL Peter Reilly.
The ceremony was considered
the prettiest of the ”’ eek -
The United States band played Homo
Sweet Home” as the last battalion was
marching off of the grounds, and the hills
rang with cheers.
The people became very much enthused,
and when “Dixie” was played tbe visitors
went wild .almost, clapping their hands and
shouting to the soldiers.
CoL Mercer and the rest of the officers
stood out in front of their tents, with heads
uncovered, reviewing the situation.
SOLDIERS SAY GOOD-BY TO THE OFFICERS.
It was a grand spectacle. Soon after the
parade the companies which have been in
camp went around to headquarters and
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 22. 1890-TWELVE PAGES.
saluted Cel. Mercer, Capt. Field, and Lieut.
Terrett. They gave those cheers and a tiger
for each one of the offioers. Col. Mercer is
very popular here. The men have all
fallen in love with Lient Terrett He is a
handsome officer and a cultivated gentle
man. Quartermaster General Chas. H.
Olmstead was loved during the war, he is
loved now, and he will be always loved by
every Georgian. His presence at the ea
campment was assuring, and the men felt
very proud of him. Capt Field was also
admired. Coming more in contact with
the officers, he was known best to them.
He Las extended information and is re
garded as the finest conversationalist.
SAVANNAHIANS AT CAMP RICHMOND.
Mrs. William W. Gordon reached Au
gusta in the morning before the parade,
and she was a visitor to the camps in the
afternoon and witnessed it. Mayor John
Schwarz and several aldermen stopped over
here on their return from Montgomery.
The mayor said tbat the boys were well
fitted up. He pronounced the encampment
the proper thing. He said that he had seen
the time when soldiers were not so well pro
vided for, and he told the boys that they
were living like lords.
Savannah has been well represented here
during the week. An Augusta man said
that the military is compelled to flourish in
Savannah,when everybody gives their sup
port to it. Savannah military has made a
great hit up here. Both officers and visitors
have learned to appreciate their military
knowledge, and much has been learned by
other companies from the First Georgia
regiment.
WHAT THE OFFICERS SAY.
CoL Mercer said tbat the benefits derived
from this encampment to soldiers is almost
incalculable. The experience of camp life
has taught them much.
Soldiers have now found out that there is
something more to learn than fancy drill
ing. The commandant said that the en
campments will continue to increase the
knowledge of soldiers, aud for the state
military nothing is better than the encamp
ments. Col. Gordon said that the
encampment is in its infancy in
Georgia. This is the initiative.
It will be the making of the state military.
Col. Gordon Slid that, as usual, there was
soma friction the first day, but now the
machinery is in working order and the en
campment might be carried on a month, or
many months, without the least drawback.
Lieut. Terrett of the United States army
said that the encampment has been a suc
cess. Said he, the boys have learned to
take care of themselves. That is a great
deal. Besides, tho instruction given them
has been profitable to them. They have
learned many things about military that
they ido not find outside of a camp.
THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT.
The question that agitates the military
now is, where will the next encampment be
held? Augusta wants Savannah to have it,
but Savannah would probably rather see
the encampment of 1891 at Camp Rich
mond. Neither Macon nor Atlanta has
any claim to it, and it is about settled now
that neither will get it. I sounded one of
the Savannah military officers, and he said
that Savannah’s military would show up
much better away from home. If the en
campment is given in Savannah, nat
urally the town will be full of
visitors. The railroads will be
busy, and the merchants cannot afford to
be without clerks with the rush of business.
The consequence is men who will be able to
get away to Camp Richmond will be very
busy with their duties if the encampment
is here. If the encampment is held in
Augusta business is much quieter in
Savannah, for the reason that not so many
people are in town.
AUGUSTA WANTS IT.
Augusta people are willing for Savannah
to have the next encampment, but if they
were given it themselves a better location
could be given and more comfortable ar
rangements could oe made auother year.
Cel. Gordon said that his camps were in a
splendid location, tho tents were ample and
everything was comfortable, with the ex
ception of the stables for the horses. They
are at least three-quarters of a
mile from the camp, and the
men upon going to parade have to walk
that distance with heavy cavalry boots on
to get their horses. Tho same is necessary
three times a day, at feed hours, so that
in the course of a day a man walks three or
four miles. Aside from this the camps are
considered very comfortable.
THE UNIFORMS NOT BADLY DAMAGED.
It was thought yesterday that the rain
had completely ruined the uniforms, but
fow of them are damaged very much. Some
of them are wrinkled, and a few of them
are drawn, but the most of the uniforms
are in fair order. Most of them were worn
yesterday.
Tbe Hussars had the biggest punch dinner
after the rain of the season. The bowl was
placed out on the avenue, in front of tents
2 and 3. It was gotten up in good
taste and tt was * a splendid affair.
Speeches were made by prominent
Hussars, and songs were sung.
The supper was suggested by Sergt. Foy,
and he conducted it. During the evening
he regaled the soldiers with funny jokes on
the other boys. Private Sternberg went
home to-nigbt before the camp broke up, it
is said, to get away from the harassment,
consequent upon occupying a tent with the
sergeant. The private said that the
boys liked to have teased him to
to death about an old alligator. He said
that he thought he was doing a kind ser
vice when he informed them that a ring
necked aligator was approaching. He said
that he wouldn’t tell them again if 1,000
ring-necks came up.
THAT QUIET GAME.
The sergeant and tbe private, it is said,
were engaged in a quiet game about 2
o’clock yesterday morning when the former
got a full hand and the latter three of a
kind.
The private was so confident that he had
everything that he saw the sergeant better
every time until, he said, it became
monotous, aud he called the hand.
When the private saw the full hand against
his three of a kind, he fell back on the bed
and sighed, and rolled bis eyes to the tops of
the trees over his head. When he got
breath he murmured plaintively that he
hadn’t hit the ceiling, but he felt himself
crashing down through the limbs of the
trees in “terrible style.”
SWINDELL GETS ANOTHER HORSE.
The horse belonging to Private Swindell
of the Liberty Guards, which was killod by
lightning during the storm, will be replaced
by the members of the cavalry rqgimaut.
Sergt. Shuptrineand Private Fleming raised
a subscription in a short time, and Col.
Gordon received the money to be devoted to
the purchase of another horse.
THE SLEEPING GUARD.
The Hussars recovered a gun in their line
yesterday belonging to an infantry guard,
who had gone to sleep on his post. The
cavalry guard mount formed in line, and,
marching over to the infantry camp, the
“trophy of war” was presented
to the officer of the day. The
ceremony was very formal and elicited
a great deal of merriment. Inquiry
has been made about the camp to find out to
whom the gun belonged, but the effort was
unsuccossfnl.
THE UMBRELLA MAN.
The men in the First Georgia regiment of
infantry amused themselves yesterday
during the rain by guying a guard who was
patrolling his beat with an umbrella
stretched over him. He was very dignified,
but be appeared comical.
Sergt. Powell of the Republican Bines
admitted that he got very tired of camp
life before be went home. He said that
duty on tbe Ocean Steamship wharf is kid
glove work to dqty in a camp.
WANTS TO DRILL THE CADETS.
An officer of a certain company ap
proached Capt. Brooks of the Cadets to-day
and challenged the captain to a drill con
test. Capt Brooks replied that it was
against the regulations of the eocampmeut
to enter into drill contests. “Well,” the
officer said, “I do not insist that it shall
take place on this encampment ground. If
you accept tbe challenge I will drill your
company upon several conditions. The first >
is that the drill shall be conductel according
to strict tactics—” 1
“WelL”
“And that you give me eight years to
practice in.”
CADETS DO NOT SIT.
A corporal of the Cadets, upon being sent
to deliver some message to a captain of a
Seventh batallion company, was invited by
the captain to a seat.
“I prefer to stand, thank you,” replied
the corporal without turning his head.
After he had dispatched the business and
was gone the lieutenaut of the Seventh bat
talion company told the captain that he
might have known that that “fellow"
wouldn’t sit down. He knew better than
do it; he was one of Capt. Broqks’ nieu.
Capt. G. B. Pritchard said last night that
Henry McAlpin, Esq., of the Hussars had
performed more duty, and had done so
more cheerfully, than any other man in the
regiment.
The Cadets were highly complimented
yesterday by Lieut. Terrett in a skirmish
drill
MELONS BAD FOR SOLDIERS.
The Augusta watermelons have made a
number of the soldiers sick. The sickest,
perhaps, was Mr. George Drummond of the
Blues. He was well enough, however, to
go out in the storm to b 9 reviewed by the
governor. Z. D. R.
TO SPAR TEN ROUNDS.
Jack Donovan to Meet Thomas August
To-morrow Night.
Jack C. Donovan will spar ten rounds at
Ford’s hall to-morrow night, under the
auspices of the Athletic Club, with Thomas
August, one of the hitters of the club. It
may be called a benefit for Jack, who with
his clever little wife have been doing their
sketoh artist specialties in a variety com
pany that was stranded in
and Donovan is on his way to Richmond
and Norfolk, where they have two weeks’
engagement in the theaters of each of these
cities. In August they go with Dominick
McCaffrey's Athletic and Burlesque Variety
Show.
Jack Donovan is the youngest of four
brothers, all of whom excelled in athletics
aDd pugilistic science. One died recently.
Mike Donovan was Kilraine’s backer in the
Sullivan mill, and Jerry Donovau is an ex
pugilist, now too old for the ring. Jack
never had any fondness for the gloves, al
though well trained to handle them, and
turned his attention to sketching, in which
he has a phenomenal talent. His wife is a
serio-comic sketch artist, and it is in this
line that they are engaged by tho
McCaffrey company. An unsuccessful
southern tour with a variety that stranded
in Jacksonville has led Donovan to put on
the gloves to-merrow night.
