the Chatham artillery, but, eir, your organization

self-government existed before the viar of the revo-

Your Georgia artillery existed and fought for liberty
before the Chatham Artillery wav organized. You
celebrate the centennial of your organiza
tion, but not of the organization of
the voluutoer soldiery in your State.
Kvery part of this country has sent delegates here
to celebrate your anniversary. Here they meet,

State of New York whoso ships of commerce dot

ments aud which knows no particular section. The
comes to you to be present at this meeting of tue
Chathams and to do your organization honor. This
la a glorioua occasion, because It represents you as
it should. Organized after the war of independ

insurrection; next it appeared in the war of 1812,
and reappeared in the conflict between the States;

Statef, and it would be the first to ralno an
check Invasion on this soil. Georgia is proud of
her volunteer soldiers. I certainly was proud,
yea, thrilled, when I saw, two days ago, apart of
the Jeff bavin Legion. Surely no Stale, certainly
no city, could have got such military organizations
together as 1 saw to-day. You have passed
through trouble and you have come
out of the fiery furnace pure as
steel which no rust can corrode. The question is
often asked, “Should the State have a standing
army?” Why should she need a standing army?
Here in a standing aruiy of true Chris
tian men, who stand ready to defend
their principles until death. My friends,
my heart has ceitainly been deeply stiired from the
time I entered your State, three day« ago, finder
the shield of your Governor I feel that I stand
among the noblest people whose deeds history has
ever chronicled. 1 speak thiB not m any idle com
pliment, but I say it lu honor of you.
Just before concluding, Mr. Davis paid a
a delicate compliment to Cantata Wheaton,
remarking that he recognized that the
plaudits were to the merit of Chatham’s
commanding officer, and not to any merit
of his own. Mr. Davis’s last words were full
of feeling and enthusiasm:
“My friends,” said ho, “I suppose your gallant
captain wished mo to say a few words to you. It
was an interruption of the regular order and was
unexpected to me. I thank you, xny friends, for
this reception.”
At times tho venerable speakers voice
trembled with deep emotion. lie spoke im
pressively throughout, and almost every
sentence was interrupted by applause.
As he took his Eeut the guests arose as
one man and cheered like ten thousand
men; yelled themselves hoarse. Tho air
was filled with waving hats and handker
chiefs. Glasses were filled and emptied,
and tho cheering did not abate. The band
struck up “Dixie,” and the enthusiasm
waxed hotter.
A great crowd had assembled outside the
building along State and President streets.
They caught up tho cheers and repeated
them over and over. The scene was cer
tainly ono to be long remembered, for such
•mblage is rarely so deeply moved, so
deeply fired with enthusiasm.
The conclusion of Davis’s speech was
tho occasion for another outburst of
S uiet smile on the young lady’s face
lreatened at every moment to resolve itself
into a hearty laugh. The musicians
played “Dixie,” “Yaukee Doodle,” and the
“Star-Spangled Banner,” after which, with
another graud salute, the leader of the coi-
net band, having discharged his duty as a
patriot and a Savunnahiun, withdrew. The
picture just described of the meeting of the
corps with Miss Davis was grotesque,
picturesque and pathetic. About 4 o’clock
EX-PSESIDBNT DAVIS,
accompanied by Mr. fl. II. Comer, appeared
on the grand parade ground. The crowd
just assembling cheered hint from the en
trance to his seal in the grand stand, where
hundreds crowded about him to shake his
hand. At his request the Vicksburg South
rons were recalled to the grounds. They
appeared before the 6tand and saluted.
Mr. Davis returned the salute, walked dow a
the steps and, standing in front of the com
pany, addressed them briefly, lie told them
they were of his own people; their fathers,
his friends, had bled and sutfeied with him.
TKAKH STREAMED FROM HIS EYES.
After his speech he went up and down
the ranks, shaking bauds with each of the
members. The scene was exceedingly nf-
fectingaadimpressive. The greettag seemed
more of a farewell. Scarce had tho exhibi
tion drill of the Southrons been completed
when the Henderson Drum Corps of Du
buque, Iowa, filed into tho grounds, took
position before Mr. Davis nnfl played
“Dixie.” At the conclusion he rose and
descended the steps again. Approaching
the corps, he said:
”My friends, I am glad to sue you, and I thank
you for the compliment you Lave paid me and the

MR. DAVIS AND THE 8CIIOOL-CHILDBBN.
This morning Mr. Davis met the chil
dren of the public schools at Chatham
.\cAdemy, where an immense crowd hud as
sembled. He was escorted by Capt. George
A. Mercer, Mr. W. H. Baker and Mr. II. M.
Comer. The children received him with
wild enthusiasm. As he entored tho
grounds they marched before him and scat
tered flowers in his path. Ho more
beautiful sio iit
was ever witnessed in tho South. Tho day
was faultless; the pretty decorations shone
in tho bright sunlight; tho flowers made for
tho feet of the old man an unrivaled carpet.
Above all was bis gray hnirs, on which were
turned thousands of eyes—hairs gray with
the South’s sufferings and hallowed by his
sufferings in her behalf.

Savannah, May 4.-This morning the grand
coiupetetive drill by companies that have
nover competed in an intor-State drill took
place. Tbo flrsl company on tho grounds
to drill was tho Gate City Guards, who went
out amid great applause. They were sub
jected to a oloso inspection and then put
through the drill. Individual errors marred
tho appearance of tho company’s manual
exercises and ono stack fell. It is claimed
that tlio company was then marched off tho
grounds before the drill was completed.
The company chums to have finished nnd
professes to be confident of being awarded
the prize.
The next company, the Gainesville
Guards, did not appear.
The third in older was the Warrior
Guards, in dark bine coats and white dock
>ants. The judges, after a rigid examipa-
;ion, announced that the company had
failed to pass iuspection and it was marched
off the field.
Next came the Louisiana Rifle*, who
passed the inspection and aid well in the
evolntionH and some parts of the firing^
Follow ins these came the German Fusi
liens, of Charleston. They passed a fine
inspection, but fell behind in tiring. Tnelr
marching was very tine, their wheels being
perfect, as was most of tbeir manual.
Tbe appearance of the Vicksburg South
rons, in their bright sud showy uniforms,
was the signal for great applanso. Their
marching, loading, firing sud manual were
evenly good, and it is believed that the
company will win tho prize the sec
ond prize going to tbe German Fusiliers.
