At daybreak this morning the last division of the transport fleet sailed from Port Tampa, and 26 000 men are nowateea. It is not thought that Santiago is the destination of the fleet, but that the troops will be landed about 40 miles of Havana, where a permanent base of supplies will be es tablished 1 Within the last three days Bear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley have cut off al! sources of sup ply and reinforcement for Santiago de Cuba, and the city is now isolated from the world and reduced to starva tion rations.

It must be conceded, therefore, that the volunteer army now in process of mobilisation at Chickamauga needs at least a month of preparation before it can be ready to sail for Havana or Porto Rico or Cedis. As lor tbe dis cipline and respect for authority of some of these loyal end fervent citisen soldiers, stories might bo told that would surpass belief. I observed for a time the disembarkation of a Missouri regiment at Lytle’s station, at the edge of Chickamauga' park. Out tbe men tumbled, grim and woru by their journey. Some of the St. Louis pri vates bad valeU, who groomed sod brushed them on the station platform- Excellent ideal It reminded meet tbe duke of Alva’s march to the Nether lands, when each of bis 1000 soldiers "was accompanied by a servant to carry his arms. Motley does not record whether the 1000 servants were hired to do tbe fighting for the 1000 Span ish soldiers. But there can be no doubt about these lusty St. Louis vol unteers. They’ll do their own fighting aud carry their own arms—as soon as they are taught bow. The bearing of a corporal of this Missouri regiment was most impres sive. He stood upon tbe step of a car and shouted to his captain : “See here, Cap, when in blank will, you send me those extra men to carry the extra baggage out of this car? There are 20 dress suit cases in here yet.” They always call them “dress suits” in St. Louis and Chicago, you know, and they save time in those cities by changing clothes in cabs while driving from office to dinner. The St. Louis captain looked wor ried over this crisis of the war. “Keep your collar cool,” he shouted to the corporal. “I’ll send tbe men as soon as I can." _ Probably the corporal had the ad vantage of bis captain in St. Louis so ciety. fie shouted back: “Wblf, blankety blank, I want those men blankety quick.” And be got the men io a huiry. Now, looking at this conversation seriously, one can see that tbe corpor al was trying, zealously and honestly, to serve bis country by saving those precious dress suit cases before the empty train was sidetracked. Tbe captain was imbued with equal patriot ism and moved by democratic sympa thy. But no prophecy is needed to predict that this colloquy will not oe cur a month hence. All this is written in no spirit of de preciation of the volunteers. The large percentage of their mass that has been recruited from tbe state militia makes many of them familiar with at least the form and spirit of military subor dination and obedience. They can be made into the best, the most efficient military force in tbe world. But that must take time. Tbe incident I have just quoted, moreover, must not be ac cepted as typical. It was extreme, abnormal, exceptional. Its humor was wholly unconscious, and it is cited here as much to indicate the sincere earnestness of the volunteers,rank and file, as their undrilled Chattanooga Letter to New York Mail and Express.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 16,1898. PREPARING TO MOVE- The First Regiment Will Leave for Chickamauga Friday. Owing to tbe preparstions being made for the moving of the soldier* from Oamp Norlbeo to Chickamauga, the long march was omitted yesterday morning and the men kept otherwise busy. Tbe old guns were returned to th* quarter master’s department and will b* turned over to the state when lb* proper authorities arrive to take charge of tbe stale’s properly. In the afternoen new guns which war* r* •eived several day* ago were issued to the men. Thia consumed nearly th* entire day. It is th* intention of Col. Lawton to leave Camp Nortben witb his regi ment Friday night and arrive at Chickamauga Saturday morning: All arrangements are being made to this end and if tbe chief quartermaster and commissary of th* Department of th* Golf complete their arrangement*, Saturday morning will find Camp Northen deserted, excepting tbe two light batteries, who will probably be here another two weeks. However if these arrsagements can not be made and the equipment* or* dered do not arrive in time the troop* will leave as soon thereafter a* possi ble. • - Col. Lawton stated to a Call repor ter yesterday that if his regimental wagons and mules were here be would march hie troops through the country to Chickamauga Park. This be ceuld do witb little tax on tbe men as hfs orders would be to march from 2 :30 to 9a. m , resting all day in tbeir shelter tents. But they have no wag ons for hauling their truck and this ide* will h*ve to be abandoned. There are io all about 20 patient* in the hospital suffering with different diseases. Most of these will be die charged a* well before Friday and tboee too sick to make tbe trip will be sent to Twl McPherson hospital. Tbe battery companies are receivin< their traiforms which they ar* badly in need of, and will leave for Chicka mauga as soon as every man ie fitted up in reepectable etyle. They are mak ing all arrangement* neceaaary for moving, and will leave at the earliest possible date. Several case* of miner importance have been tried before tbe courtmar tial thia week snd justice meted out to the evil doers. Capt. Blanton Winship was officer of the day yeaterday, while Lieut. Eat mand and Lieut. Mell were senior aud junior officers of the guard. Bury All Bickerings. The Democratic primary election* throughout the state have been held. The candidate* from Coroner to Gov ernor have been nominated. The re sult is known to the people. If during the campaign for tbe pri mariee any bickering among demo crats sprang up let them now be bur ied, and buried, forever. We be democrat*, and tbe true democratic epirit dictates that each and every democrat should cheerfully abide tbe final judgment of tbe party. Some of us may not have gotten, in the piimariee, tbe candidates of our choice; but if this be true, it is never theless our duty, as democrats, to sur render our choice, and uncomplain ingly abide tbe judgment of the dem* ocratic party. Any other course ia undemocratio and can but work tbe disintegration of the party. The question of candidate* having been settled at the ballet box let all bickering aoddisappointments, if any, be put under the <W«r of tbe past; there to remain ainrlet us all come to gether as true democrat* desiring tbe weal and welfare of all the people, and unite our best effort* for a fair and honest election of the candidates nom inated. We accord every democrat tbe right to hie personal view* and opinion*,but when tbe majority of tbe demooratio party makes up it* verdict and enters up its judgment upon public question* and matters, every democrat abould yield to that judgment. And to meet opposition from any source, all democrat* io the state should rally a* one man to tbeir nom inees, under the democratic flag, and carry them in tbe October election te an overwhelming victory .—Forsyth Chronicle.
