THE THIRD DOES GO!
THE OR?ER MEANS SIMPLY A
g| DELAY IN TRANSPORTATION
Telegrams Received at Camp Last
Night Say* the Befiment Will
Positively Go to Cuba-
The report io yesterday morning’s
Constitution that the Third regiment
was not to go to Cuba, was a mistake,
pore and simple. Tbe&will go, and at
about the time originally contemplat
ed, though there may a few days delay
io leaving here. > * <
A telegram was received by one of
the head.officers at camp last night,
stating that despite any -reports te the
contrary, the Third regiment was sure
to be one of the regiments to leave for
Cuba, which was received With cheers
and great enthusiasm, as all the sol>
diers want to go. There was nothing
in the report that there was aq organs
ixation of the men who wanted to stay
at home.
It may be a week or ten days now
before the regipient leaves Griffin, but
it is ttti-l believed that it will go Witte
the first expedition that leaves Savan
nah for Cuba. Nothing official has
been received tc the contrary, while
those who understand the workings
of the war- department and 'are in
communication therewith are as confi
dent as ever that everything goes.
The following is the article which
appeared in yesterday’s Constitution,
whipb produced consternation among
the men at Camp Nortben :
The Third Georgia regiment now in
camp at Griffin may not go to Cuba
after all and it is practically certain
that the regiment wilt not go aboard
transport at’Savannah on the 12d of
this month, the time originally ~MI by
the war department for the departure
of the troops. * '
Ao crder has been received at the
department es the gulf from Washing'
ton holding the prder for the trap*-*
portation of the Third Georgia in war
pension and postponing the time for
the depaiture of the regiment from its
camp. The dispatch from the war
department was received by Colonel
Dravo, chief comissary of the depart
ment, who for the past few days has
been engaged in preparing rations for
the Third Georgia in presence of or
ders received by Colonel Berner.
Every arrangement for the transpor
tation of the regiment had been com
pleted and the Georgia troops were
waiting patiently in camp for the or
der sending them to Savannah to ar
rive.
The quartermaster department of
• the gulf opened bids for transportation
of the regiment some days ago and
the contract for the movement of the
troops was divided equally between
the Central and Southern railroads.
One half of the men were to go byway
of the Central and the other half by
Southern road.
The dispatch of the war department
was a short one and contained no in
formation leading to an explanation of
the sudden change of orders and the
t officers of the department of tbd gulf
were surprised at the turn of affairs.
Col. Dravo, to whom the telegram
was addressed, said that in bis opinion
it was probable that the regiment was
being detained for the reason that the
island was not yet in a condition fcr
the American army and that he be
lieved the order for transportation of
the regiment would come some lime
near the end of this month or first of
next. >

I other book, which is quite another

i Mormon, which (I have not yet seen
the work) is said to be a most remark
' able book. It is quite modern, only
i about sixty-six years old. It is a book

not honest. Jo was not a man of eru

qualities which inheres in true proph

be had attained to a very high state Os
sanctity, it was raveahM to him wbore
he would find tbe Book of Mormon,
which was full of revelations He dug
into a hill, and auro enough there she
was, a regular daisy of* a book. Gold
leaves, written all over in strange char
acters, which Jo/wbo was not much
of a reader anyhow, could not get on
to. Tbe leaves of tbe book were held
together by three rings; with tbe book
were two precious stones which, were
the “Urim and the Thummim.” Mr
Smith bad a revelation to tbe eflfcoi
that if be would use the stones as spec
taeles, ho could read the book Being
a man of wonderful faith, be believed
this and sure enough, no sooner had
.be put on the specs, than the “reform
ed Egyptian” in which language the
book was written, was easy for Jo. Jo
showed the book to a friend of hie,
Sidney Rigoon Several men were
found who Said they bad seen tbe gold
bgok, out afterwards confessed that
they lied when they said to. And Jo 4
and Sid were tbe only two people who’
ever saw this wonderful book, which
alh>eo>le, save the Lattes Day Saints,
regard as one of tbe most stuped
“fakee” ever Attempted „tft bg.played on
tbe people. € . ;
Jo Smith got behiud'r anroen, tak
ing tbe preciMts book with bias, put
on his “Urim and. Thummim” specs,
and read ajond while a fellow on the
other aide the ecreqq top-down what
Jp dictated. Alter -lUs.-the golden
beak eqddenly vanished, and nobody
ever knew what became oj. it. ..What
b Smith dictated, and the other man
wirpfo, is 'SCorwop jsWch is
of equal author itywithowrßible. The
book was subjected t 0 fidienle, and its
authors to hostility, nevertheless Jo
and his associates persisted in preach
ing the new was a
new Ameiicanizedf dhdse of Millen*
nian ism, poly far dsgfadc*' below all
that is known by that name.”
The Millennium was about to dawn,
tbe Indiana were soon l» be con ver red,
de New Juruaalsrik wire to be some
where in America. On April 6, 1830,
tie Church of JeVus Christ of Latter
WH.lwuttebpj|gp» it jpon*
derful career. The opposition was so
great that tbe church was moved to
Kirtland, Ohio. Here Jo Smith and
bis coadjutors made great progress,
and many were added to the church-
In 1831 a colony was established in
Missouri, which a revelation told Jo
was the place of “tbe City of Zion.”
Hete great energy was manifested,and
a spirit of morality and industry was
evident far in advance of tbeir neigh
bors. Mi. Smith, meanwhile, returned
to Ohio, established divers industries,
among others a bank. He ontinued
to propogate bis doctrines* and this
amid most disgraceful persecutions;
he was himself tarred and feathered—
but nothing daunted he preached on,
and continued to win converts.
Meanwhile tbe colony in Missouri
flourished—it began to be rumored
that Mormons were not orthodox on
tbe marriage question, and though it
would seem these rumors were un
founded, persecution began, and res
suited in the whole colony’s removal
to Illinois, where it was favored by
the state government, and certain val
uable franchises granted it. Mean
while Jo Smith’s bank in Ohio broke
and proceedings were instituted for
swindling, when be bad a revelation
to tbe effect that be was needed out
w«3t. So out west be went to find his
colony which had low grown to some
15,000 in number, io trouble among
themselves, but unified by tbe fierce
opposition of outsiders. This was in
1838, tbe year in which they all moved
to Commerce, Illinois, which name
was changed in obedience to a revela
tion, to Nauvoo—“beautiful city”
The country began to blossom as
tbe rose. Tbe organisations, civil,
military, religious, was well nigh per
fect. Jo bmilh was geneial of the
army, mayor of tbe ’ city, and chief
prophet of tbe church, everything was
moving off grandly when more rumors
got out about marriage—tbe doctrine
of “sealing wives” awoke.* suspicion
and Jo Smith and bls brother were
thrown into prison ; where a mob of
200 toughs broke tbe jail and cruelly
murdered Jo and bis brother Hyrum.
Up to this time there ia no eiear evi
dence that polygamy had ever been
practiced either by Smith or any of
bis followers. Tbe killing wae mur*
der simple, unjustifiable.
