I jalbs company streets and mesa halls, I Some of the officers passed the I <norniug in instructing their men in ■- the different topics and reading the gjCu* to them. I |At 11 o’clock the regular daily offi cers meeting was held in Col. Lawton's quarters. Moat qt the time was con- H earned in discussing the band I traosfer of men from their companies I to the band. E . Every enlisted noncommissioned officer who is chosen by the director I to join the band must be reduced to ranks before ha can enter bis new dn* ties, and should he return to his com pany he will serve as a private. h The band composed of twenty- I four pieces, and two men are chosen from each company, thereby rqually t dividing, honors. The uniforms all arrived yesterday and last night, and the men will be ia sued their much needed clothing this morning. H a Most of them were supplied with their blue shirts yesterday end wore them on battalion drill in the after* noon. They will of Course show off to a far better advantage this afternoon when they have donned their naw uniforms and go on inspection. Col. Lawton has no idea when he will receive the gone and other equip ments. However, Le has made requi sition for tbe same and may ba in formed of their shipment at any hour. It is generally desired Juy all that the companies wilt be recruited to their folleaVßlJßWty «* « rvawk <4 tbu ■ second call for volunteers. The two f artillery companies only have one hundred and twenty men each and they are required to have one bun dred and seventy five men and offi cers. They should ba recruited to their full number. It is dow thought these batteries will remain here and not go to Chick amauga for their equipments. They will doubtless receive their full num ber of guns, caissons, horses, mules and in fact all required equippage be fore leaving their present quarters. There sre two batteries in camp now and if fully recruited would pre sent a very interesting spectacle when practicing. The two companies when fully recruited aud equipped will con eiat of 350 men, 8 commissioned effi eeis, 288 horses, 12 large field guns and 18 caissons, and fighting qualities to whip all Spuin" Yesterday morning tbe citisens of Savannah sent the Chatham artillery a barrel of fresh fieb and it goes withv out saying they were highly apprecia ted But this company in particular has been very fortunate during its ens listment as warriors of tbe United States. They are the recipients of many very nice gifts fr »m their re spective home. Not long ago they ft. Were presented with forty dcaen eggs by one man. Owing to some unknown reason tbe order for guard duty was changed yesterday and Co. C, Capt. O’Brien, and Lieutenants Davie and Mclntosh were detailed for that purpose instead of Co. B, as formerly announced. Large detailes have been at work upon the grounds for several days digging ditches for draining purposes •ad now the entire ground is thor oughly drained, and all tbe slops and water is carried off to the creek. The few on the sick list at the bos_ pital are fast improving. The sick dumber reported each morning is fe 'much less now than several days ago. In fact most of the men claim they are 1 -in much better health and weigh more ®ow than they did before joining the army. Lieut. Col. J. T. Brooks who has been sick for some days is improving nicely and will very likely be al hie I’ oß * of duty again in a short time. BMost of tbe officers are beginning to traliae that they are here for some time yet and are preparing to- bring u their wives to our city to remain here hntil they are orders 1 away.

Tbe report from Key West that tbe steamer Florida return ed there ibis morning after successful ly landing a most importAutexpedilion iu Cuba was supplemented by the information here that the expedition was in command of Gbfteftl Lacret, the well-known Coban leader, who has with him 400 picked Cubans, thor oughly armed and equipped by the United States. While there continues to be entire official reticence as to the exact points of invasion, the consensus of opinion, drawn from the most intelligent sources, is that the eastern end of Cuba, constituting the province of Santiago, with Santiago de Cuba as its capital, and Porto Rico will be among the objective points. Orders were issued at tbe war de» partment this morning for one lieuten ant from each Georgia company to go to bis respective section of tbe state and enlist 30 men to Ming up tbe companies from the state to the msx mum number of men allowed. - A copyrighted special from Port-au- Prince to The New York Evening World says: A report is current at Mote St. Nicholas that three of Cerve ra?a fleet tried to steal out of Santiago and were pursued.

In the days of Clement VII It was a question of debate whether or no the wear ing of beards by priests was decent, hon orable and sanctioned by religion. Ths champion of the beard was a native of Belluno known to posterity by his academ ical name of Picrius Valerian.. Ransack ing holy writ, the customs of the Catholic church and the annals of classical antiqu ity, he proved that the wearing of all beards Is at once decent, approved of by man and respectful to Cod. Says he: “So much virtue indeed did the an cients ascribe to the beard that a beardless philosopher was scarcely deemed a philos opher.'’ r Christ wore a beard; so did the patron saint of Scotland, and also Thomas, the unbeliever, Peter, the keeper of the keys, and the reformer of early Christian ity, Paul. The great esteem entertained by the ancient Romans for the beard Is adduced, and so, too, is the admiration conceived by the Invading Gauls for the senators awaiting their doom robed and bearded. He might have also referred to the reverence felt by the Jews for the board, together with the well known Mo hammedan oath, “By the beard of the prophet,” and the portraits of Olympian Zeus.—Exchange.

SECUND CALL FOR VOLHNTEEM- F Governors Give Alger Their Views on the Raising of Regiments. • Abmyt twenty governors ol slates 5 and territories ijave replied to Seere* tary Alger s telegrams, asking for lheir ( views regarding the filling of the pres* ( ent volunteer regiments to their maxi ( mom strength before beginning tbe formsticto of new organizations Some ( of these indicate » preference Ipr the ( recruiting of entirely new regiment* I aS under the first call, leaving the present organizations with number , of meu now contained in tbem< though practically all promise the government any amount of troops that are wanted. It is tbe President’s desire, however, | that the organizations already formed shall be filled to tbeir maximum strength as the law provides and tbie ’ policy will be carried out in recruiting under the second call. The appor ( tionment to the states has bcru made up, but not yet been given to the public. Through urgent representations to Secretary Alger, some of the states ’ were permitted, under the fiist call, to ’ furnish a greater number of troops tbfan they were legally entitled to on i tbe basis of population. Consequently in raising the 75,000 men under the ' second call, these inequalities will be retnedied as fifr as practicable, with ‘ tbe result that some of the slates may not be called on to furnish Any of the men needed. This course probably ( may give rise to discontent in states where men are anxious to serve, but it I ■ is regarded as tbe only fairway in which to proceed. Adjt. Gen. Corbin said that it had * been definitely decided to use about 50,000 of tbe volunteers to be raised under the new call in filling out defi- , cient regiments already organized un der tbe old call. It will take about that number, he thought, to fill each com* ( pany up to the maximum limit of 106 ’ tneo. .. ■ r *YNO woiddLbft ofc gahizeii into regiments of threh battal ions each and distributed among tbe states and territories in exactly tbe , same proportion asunder tbe fiist call.

Le® WPV® No Sword. “It is a remarkable fact,” said a distin guished ex-Confcderatc, “that General Lee never wore a sword during the war or any weapon, and he never buckled on a sword until the day.of his surrender, and then as an act of courtesy to General Grant and as proper for the occasion, when terms of surrender were being agreed upon. “General Lee did not expect to surrender his sword to Grant, because by tbe terms of surrender au officers were to retain their side asms, but he did expect, as I have heard him state, that Grant would go through the form of touching the hilt of his Sword, according to the custom of war. But Grant, most magnanimous of soldiers, did riot even cfo that. ” General Lee had a sword, which is pre served, but the fact that he did not wear it, as thus stated, is rather a shock to those of us who have enjoyed literally as well aa figuratively Slather Ryan’s poem of stirring sentiment beginning: Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright, Flashed the sword of Lee I < —Washington Star. .... . Prophecy In a Lake’s Name. The name of Lake Pontchartrain bears in it a curious prediction, as it were, of what should bo witnessed on it at the pres ent day, 200 years after Iberville named it. Count de Pontchartrain and Count de Manrepas were the two ministers of Louis XIV unde# Whose auspices Iberville and Bienville sailed from La Rochelle, in France, in 1668, to establish the first col ony- in Louisiana, and Iberville, in honor of these patrons of his enterprise, named Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain. Pont chartrain is a combination of three dis tinct French words—vis, Pont, meaning “bridge,” Char, manning “car, 11 and train, meaning “train.” The prediction in the sraa.hfZ tn the fact that at present in a —s may see on Lake Pont chartrain, where the Northeastern HEQrowft crosses it, a “pont” (bridge), a “char” (car) and a “train” (train), thus interpret ing the prediction name of Lake Pont chartrain into lako with a bridge, a car and a train of cars.—New Orleans Pica yune. The Golden Bule—Con and Pro. Big brother had the apple. With a new shiny pocket knife he cut it into two very uneven halves and from each side of the smaller half pared a generous slice. The remainder he gave to little brother. Then big brother turned his back and swaggered up the street munching his big half. Little brother looked down at the pieoes of apple in his hand, then into the wistful eyes of his three companions. He fumbled around in his pocket, brought out an old rusty knife blade, minus a handle, divided his diminished half into four nearly equal bits, gave one to each of his friends and kept the smallest himself.
