REPORTS OF DEPARTMENTAL OFFICERS.
STATE OF GEORGIA,
J UDGE ADVOCATE-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
ArLAK'.rA, GA., September 24, 1893.
Adjutant and Inspector- Gene1al, State of Ge01gia :
SIR- I submit th e followin g report as to the legal d epartment o f Georgia 's volunteer forces for the past twelve months:
No serious charges have been preferred against either officers or men in the service during the last year.
I have passed upon the proceedings o f three courts-martial organ ized for the trial of as many officers, all belonging t o the Georgi a Volunteers, colored, and in each case for a p~tty offence. In each case there was either a p lea or finding of g uilty, and while t here were great irregularities in each case, I have thought best, un der the circum stances, to recommend a pproval of each of the findi ngs, considering the verdicts and judgments ri ght and losing sig h t in a g reat measure of the manner adopted in get t in g at them.
The discipline of all the State tt:oops has greatly improved d uring the last two years, and I am sure t hat we owe this grea ~ advance to the an nual State en campments, and the S tate of Georgia co ul d make no better investm ent of her money than in future providing sufficient funds to put all her militia into camp annually for at least ten days. The discipline of the companies that go into camp is far superior to those that a re deprived of this training. Most of the military sins of Georgia's mili tia are committed th rough a lack of knowledge of the obli ga tions and duties of a citi;~e n-so ldier, and in this con n ection I d esire to repeat all said on this sub-
.i ect in my last report :
"There are many inconsistencies existing in ou r State m ili tary laws. It is next to i!l1possibl e for an offi cer in the Georgia militia to know his legal duties or obligations; not only do they need codification, but as th ey now stand they are ln many instances conflicting and are badly in need of rev ision; many should be repealed, and some of great necessity should be enacted. As set forth in my last report, we have regiments but no State la ws regulating such organization s. The several acts creating these regiments are not uniform. If the policy of t h e State in future is to thoroughly organize its troops, then t h ere-sho uld be a general law providing for su ch orga nization ; every company sho uld be ass igned to a battalion, and ev ery battalion, where possible, to a regiment, a nd so assign ed that they might have the benefit of frequent battalion and regimental drill as well as of association.
"Our State is rapidly increasing in wealth and population, and this increase brings responsibilities and d uties upon us that we have not bad to meet in the past. Confidence in the strength of the Government is absolutely necessary to its material prosperity. People do not bring wealth where it cann ot be protected. As illustra tive of the strength of our State Govern ment, we point with pride to our mili tia . To maintain and im prove it should be the ai m of its every officer a nd man. Confidence creates
courage ; to maintain the spirit of the citizen-soldier a clear an d accurate
knowledge of his legal duties should be furnished him. With our laws made clear and con cise for their governmen t and control, it will be an easy matter to maintain that good discipline for w.hich Georgia's militia are noted."

93
In addition to the above I desire to add that the" Interstate" and" Stat e" prize drills an<l th e "Company Excurs ion " a re the sou rces of much that is bad and in conflict with good order and discipline. If another company in Georgia was never again permitted to leave the State, either to en{J'age iu a drill contest o r for a roving f roli c, none would be burt, even if s~me cities w ere not advertised and some officers remained unknown to fame. Individual rewards for individ ual excellence in corupan y are w ell , bu t company prizes in competitive <lrills for " ci rcus purpo~es," to draw crowds to n eedy expositions, are hurtful to military discipline. I consider it cause for cong ratulation that a very la rge maJority of our officers and men realize these facts. If we are to h ave the respect of the people of the State and the financial su pport of both our National and S tate Govern ments, we must q ui t playing so ldier and must show ou r ab ili ty to be soldiers should necessity demand.
Our term of enlistment is too sh ort . No set of officers, how ever efficient, can in so short a time train a man sufficie n t ly to do good se rvi ce fo r the S tate in the even t of n eed. It h as been said that sh ould this time be doubled men would be slow to enlist. The answer to t his is, that a man who is not willing t o go in to the service for s ufficient time in which t o become of use bad best for the State not en litit at all.
With these suggestions submitted, I am, with great respect,
s. Yo ur obedient servant, .JOHN C AN Dl~ER, Judge Advocate-General.

It affords ine pleasure to state that, with the benefits arising from the experiPnce gained from the past years' encampments, the work in this depart-
mPnt has greatly im p roved and its operatio ns carried on wib less frict ion, ~nd I trust with general satisfaction to t he commands enjoying the advantages of the d iscipline and dri ll during the encampments, as evidenced by letters of approval from officers who commanded.
The change made in the loeation of so me of the buildings and the covering
of all the buildin gs with ehingles, together with the work of cleaning up the grounds and trimmin g out the undergrowth , proved quite advan ta11eous and
satisfactory to all the commands. I am especially indebted to Captain L. H. Kenan, my assistant, who re-
roain.-d in the fiel d closely and faithfully for a wee k before the e ncampment opened, during the whole encampment. and for ten days after it closed, attending in a soldierly, gentlemanly and bu siness- like m a nner to every detail of
the Yaried and complicated r eq uirem ents of t he State's interest. He bas proved himself highly competent, enthusiastic. paiustaking and prompt in the di sc harge of the duties to which his promotion called him.
His report bas been forwarded through this offire to your headquarters, in
which some timely and important r ecommendations are made, all of which I approve, and request fav orabl e consideration th ereo n.
1 desire also to make faYorable me ntion of the efficient work performed by
.Sergean t G. V . H eidt, who di s played mncb tact aud good judgment in the discharge of his duti es, which he performed satisfactori ly, politely and ,promptly.
The b 11ildings at Camp No rth en have been insured, and the State's property
left there h&s been properly schedu led, housed under lock and key and placed ,in charge of Mr. Maddox, th e watcl1mHn.
with many thanks to the Adjutant General's office for val uable assistance
.rendered in the discharge of my du ies, I have th e honor to remain, Very respectfully,
Your obedient. serva nt, A.. J. WEST,

I feel it to be my duty to resp ectfu ll y make the following recommendations.

and suggestions, as I was in a position to see the necessity of these which I

note below:

1st. That a larger ~tore house be built for the use of the Post Quarterm as

ter's Departmen t, as th e hou se used at prese nt for t his purpo~e , is entirely too-

small.

I would suggest tha t th e present sto reho use (for its location is very good.

being in the Angle formed by th e two lines of mess halls ) be enlarged to n ot

less than th irty by forty feet (30x-W) with a goo(] roof and a substantial foun-

dation.

A good roof is yery essenti al, as tents, amm uni t ion, etc., ha ve to be pro-

tected from the weather; and a solid foundation is no less essential, as th e-

weight upon the floor of this house will be ve ry great at times.

2d. I find that the supply of water to the bath houses a nd spigots on top

of the hill , is not suffi cient , as th e supply is cutoff by the use of the water in

t he bath houses along the lower line; this l0we r line of houses being betwee n

th e houses on t he hill and the pu mping stati on, which is at t he foot of the hill.

To overcome this deficiency and give the houses on the hill an adequate sup-

ply of water, I would recommend (without going into details) that the main

(over the hill) be tapped and a two inch pipe be used to cond uct the water to-

the houses and spigots. thmeby giving these houses as m uch water as is

received by the houses down by the pumping station.

3d. That a platform be built on th e southwest side of the car track for the

purpose of loading and unloading can non and other heavy freight.

A platform, not less than forty f~ et long (an d as wide as the ground neces-

sitates- probably ten or fifteen feet ) will save much time and labor in the

hand ling of heavy freigut.

Such a platform can be built very cheaply, as the ground on t he southwest

side of the track is about th e h eight of a railroad flat car , a nd lays within fiv e

or six feet of the track . One side of the platform will rest upon .the groun d.

If we can unload and load freight and baggage from this side of the track, we-

can J<et a much bette.r road to the grounds, by goi ng directly over the hill and

leaving the present road about one hundred and fifty yards down the bill and

to the left. The saving of labor and time by having this platform and road

will more than pay for th e construction .

.

4th. That all -mattresses furnished by the Quartermaster 's Department be

single ones, as th e doubl e mattresses are not wide enough for two men to use

one, with any degree of com fort, a nd es pecially in hot weather. 'J'he ticks

med at che last encampment a1e, or will be, by the nex t encampment, too-

old, and unfit for furth e r service. Therefore I recommend that when n ew

ones are made. that they be made single.

5th. I find upon close examination, that the flag pole has decayed very

much at the ground, so much so that I deemed it absolutely necessary to guy

it from two side& with large wires. I think it very unsafe, and recommend

the purchase of a new one-cypress, if su ch an one can be had-and , furth e r,

that cross trees be built to it, and moreover-(if the n ew pole is to be located

upon the site of the present one), I strongly r,ecommend that the telephone

and electric light wires be removed from so near. th e pole, as they seriously

interfere with hoistin g and lowering of flag.



99
lith. That the electric lights on the poles which are situated down at the lower end of parade ground ( nearest the bathing pool ), and also the one that stands at the head of t.he rifle range be moved ( by the proper authorities) nPar heactqnarters as they are of no service where they now stand, being too far off to sufficiently give light to any part of the camp that is occupied by the troops.
There is no elictric light in the angle on the hill where h eadquarters was situated and 1 recommend that the tw o, above referred to, be moved near headquarters where they can be used to advantage.
7th. I noticed that in one regiment where " troop letters" were used that the me n, in order to put th e "troop letter" on their tents drove large nails tluough the tent cloth into the" upright poles " and in nearly all commands, the officers and men used t he tent ropes for clothes lines ,etc., in th eir tents, which necessarily took time and labor from the Quartermaster's Department to untie the ropes and put them on the tents, and draw out, the nails, to say nothing of the damage to tent cloth and poles. I mention this h owever , that steps might be taken to prevent such as this in the future.
8th. That the Post Quartermaster furnish all th e horses. used by field officers (that is, all the hi1ed mounts ) and by doing this it will save the State money that can be used for other things and will give a better class of horses to the officers. This can be we ll done by arrangements being made with some li very stableman in the city of Griffin , and the horses being issued to the officers as they need them.
In conclusion I will sgy that th e Army officers on duty at Camp ~orthen were ever ready and most willing to give any information asked foraddin g very much to the success of the work done in camp.
I am indebted to Col. A.J. West , Quartermaster Ge neral , for th e prompt manner in which he atte nded to all business co mmunications received from me as Post Quartermaster.
Sergeant Grayson V. H eidt, Co mpany D, -!th Geo rgia Battalion, who was detailed to act ln the Post Quartermaster's De partment, proved himself to be a very efficient n on-commissioned officer-always r eady and willing to work, discharging his duty in a businesslike and soldierly manner.
I find that the work and duties in the Post Quartermaster's Department have largely increased since the Camp of 1892, and are likely to continue to increase ( with the discipline of the troops) each year.
Had I not have had the services of such a young man as Sergeant Heidt, the work of my office would, doubtless, have been too onerous.
Very respectfnlly, your obediant servant, LEWIS H. KE~AN,
Assistant Quartermaster Ga. Vol's. Post Quartermaster.
ST.~'l'E OF GEORGIA,
SuRGEON-GENERAL' s OFFICE ,
MACON, September 30, 1893.
The Adjutan t and I nspector-General, S tate of Georgia:
SrR-In accordance with paragraph 10, General Orders No. 8, Adjutant and Inspector-General's office, May 31, 1893, I beg leave to make the following report of the sanitary condition, care of sick and hospital, etc., of last annual encampment of the Georgia Volunteers, held at Griffin, Ga., July 6th to July 20th, 1893 :
During the first tour of duty Surgeon Austin S. Tinsley, of the First Battalion, was post-surgeon . He was the only surgeo'n in camp, and, having no one to assist him, the medical service during this tour of duty was not altogether satisfactory. He had to attend to all the medical duties of the encampment. He was still further handicapped by not having a hospital stewc ard, nor _!:!Ould any licensed druggist be found in the camp to act in that capacity.

100

Under the citcumstances he was compelled to have Private Charles N.

Gailey, Company G, Third Regiment, a medical student, detailed to act as

hoRpital steward.

.

During this tour of duty there were twenty-nine (29) men reported sick

and unfit for duty , making a percentage of 7.94 of total number in cam p.

The diseases reported are as follows:

During the second tour of duty the medical service was all that could be desired. The camp was well supp lied with surgeons and with a good druggist to act as hospital steward.
Surgeon Frank T. Lincoln, Chatham Artillery, was post-surgeon, with Sur-
geon Joseph A. Gui nn , Third Regiment, and Surgeon C. Holcomb Cox, First Regiment, to assist him. Surgeon Guinn was appointed sanitary inspector.
Surgeon Lincoln, as Post-Surgeon, was painstaking, carefu l and attentive. :Surgeon G uinn , as Sanitary Inspector, deserves special praise for the manner
in which he kept the camp. Not on ly did he see that it was kept in a good sanitary condition by compelling absolute eleanliness, but he al so looktJd -after the diet and cookin (.
The acting Hospital Steward was private Chas. N . Gailey, who was detai led from Co. G , 3d Regiment. He is a good druggist and prescription
c lerk a nd was very zealous and faithful in the discharge of his duties, always at his post, he kept the dispensary and hospital in a clean and orderly condition.
During this tour of service there were fifty (50) men reported sick and unfit
for duty, making a percentage of H of total number in camp.
The diseases as reported, were as follows:

'The amM.nt allowed by the Adv isory Board for the purchase of drugs was

'$100.00. This was almost sufficient, only a sma ll bill of $6.65 being required

in addition, and we now have left over a good supply of drugs for next en

campment, which will allow us to expend more of the amount set aside for

next year on needed hospital supplies.

The Hospital building leaks badly and should be thoroughly repaired. .

Of the diReases reported the larger number were directly traceable to hot

weather, and it was the unanimous opinion of all the su rgeons that tbe en-

campment was held too late in the year and should have opened the latter

part of Mny or the firRt of June.

Assistant Surgeon H. 1\1. Hallock, U. S. A., who was detailed to act as in-

structor, endeared himself to the surgeons by the able and genial manner in

which he preformed his duty. The field hospital and ambulance corps which

ibe brought with him, his illustration and lectures on first aid to the injured,

!hospital corps drill and special instructions to surgeons and hoHpital stewards

on tbe management of a field hospital, medical reports, etc., was of incal-

culable benefit. We are also indebted to him for the assistance which he

rendered during the first tour of duty, in taking care of the sick when Surgeon

':Tinsley was absent or engaged in other dnty.

G riffin has proven, from a sanitary point of view, all that could be desired

'-feoxrcae lml einlti.t a r-vr-neenrcea:ims -pamlme onst .t

The location is an entire absence

high, drainage good and water. of malaria. The cases of fever

~reporte'd, no doubt, having been contracted . before coming into camp.

' ' \.

101

. Wit~ an encampment held in May or first part of June, there would be but-

ltttle Sickness ~nd the men wou ld be better able to d~ duty.

.

The trouble In obtai nin g a hospital steward and lttter bearers d~nng the

first. tour of dt~ty fully illustrate. the nef\d of a thorough ly orgamzed and

eq uipped h ospital co rp s.

.

.

As the. la w now stands, the urgeons ha,e no authon~y to <~nh st men f01

the. hospital corps and company co mmanders will not g1ve up gi?od men to tram as co~pany bearers, thereforP, t he ' urgeons can do _not~w g. They ~ hould be g1ven that a~tho ri ty, and each regime nt and battalion m the State should h av~ a well eq ~1pped and organized hospital corps attached.

The hosp.1tal corps, 111 modern armies is as neressary as any oth er branch

of the service.

'

Not only are they needed during a battle to remove and attend to the

wounded, bnt whPneve r the"e is a lar"e nu mbe r of men gathered togetherthere ml}~t be a ce rtain amount of s i c k~ ess and the eick must be nursed .. .-\. noted mil.Itar:r surge~m has said that "many of the most di sastrous ca?lpa1gns

recorded m history, InYolving the practical annihilation of whole armies were

the res ult of the rava ges of d isease ."

.

I must urge the absolute need of a th o rou~h organization of the medical

departmen t of the State.

' The su1geon s s hould not be p erma nently co nnected with any ~Omf!land,

but sh ould be segregated fr om th e lin e of t he t roops a nd orgamzed mto a

corps or rath er medica l staff und e r the direction of the Surgeon-General.

The following, based on th e law of the State of Xew .Jersey, with such c~anges as ou_r se r vice wou ld require, give a condensed pl an of the organiza

twn of a mediCal departm ent nf this State. All su rge(;ms of the (;eorg ia Vo lun teer,, and a ll persons who may he~eafte 1
be c?mm iSSI?n ed as surg~ons of the said Georg ia Yolunteers, ~ hall. co nstitute a.

medical staff, and the smd medi cal starr hall be under the directiOn and con-

ttr~oet

of the medi cal department Georgia Voluntee rs, and all

that a ll hos pi tal persons wh o may

stewards he reafter

now in service of be appointed hos-

pital steward s, s hall be un de r th e direction a nd control of said medical departm~nt; t~at there sha.ll be enlisted by the s urgeo ns for a term of two years as

pnvates 111 the GPorgia Volunteers not more t han four men for each com pan y

of a regime nt OI' battalion of infant;y and cavalry, and e ight men for each bat-

tery of art1llery, to serve as a hospital a nd ambulance co rps, and th at tLPse

men shall hav P. all the rights and privileges of e nli8ted men in the Georgia

Voluntee rs and be und e r th e ext:lusive direction and co ntrol of the said medi-

cal departm ent ; that the Commanrlc r-in Chief, on th e recommendation of th e

Surgeo n-General of the Geo rg ia Vo lun tee rs, s hall appoint two medical inspec-

tors, with the rank and emolu ment of Li e11 tenant-Colone l of the Georgia \' olun-

teflrs, and that t he said inspectors s ha ll be und e r th e direetion and co ntrol of

the said medical department; that al l medical office r of th e Georg ia Vol-

untee rs shall hold their commission d urin g crood behav io r and be s ubj ect to the regulations of the Geo r<>' ia Volunteers, h~ same as all other commission ed

officers ; that the Surgeon-Ge ne1al of the Geo nda Volunteers shall be charged! with the admini~trative duti es of the medica l flepa rtm ent.

The Surgeon -Ge neral s hall ass ign to duty in the various commands of the

Georgia Volunteers the medica l oflicers now co nnPcted with said commands.

and each surgeo n who has bee n co m11.1issioned for five or more years shall be

promoted and commissioned with rank of major without re-examination .

Other surgeo ns who may not have se rved five years , or persons who may here-

after be commissioned as surgeo ns, s hall be co mmi ssioned with th e mnk of
captain, and on th e completion of five years of service as s urgeo n, if lh ey lwve

ct welt urgan:ized hospital corps in lhei1 conunrmd, they sha ll be entitled, on the

recomm endation of th e Surgeon-General , to promotion to 1he rank of maj"ol".

'fhat medical officers of the Georgia Volunteers may be detached an d

assigned to tem porary duty by the Surgeon-General should the interests of th e

medical department so demand , but the detachme nt shall not co ntinue over a

reasonable time nor to the detriment of the command to which officers are

originally assigned.

That each regim ent of six or more com panies s

surgeons, these surgeons not to reside in the sa1

102

companies of the regiment are in that county. _'l'he additional surgeon to be

appointed by the Sur!(eon-General, on the recommenda tion of th e commander

of the regimen t, and the person nominated for th e office, shall be examined as

provided fur in General Orders No.4, Adjutant and Inspector-General's office,

Februarv 14, 1893.

As wiil be seen from the above, the rank of the surgeo ns sho uld be raised.

There are no officers in the Georgia Volunteers whose duties are more onerous

and exacting or who lose more by attending to their military duties than th e

surgeons.

While with officers of thll line, th eir military service is a change and recrea-

ti on from their regular work. 'With th e surgeons they are doin g the same kind

of work they do every day, increased by th e burden of extra reports and

d uties. There is no play abou t their work; it is an actual figut with disease.

First, to keep it out and secondly, to cure and relieve wh en it comes.

Their standing in th e communities in which they live is among th e highest.

The rank of First Lie utenant whi ch th ey now bold in the Georgia Vol-

unteers is not in accordance with th e regulations of th e U nited States army or

with those of an y of the Na t ional Guards of the U nited States, th e r~fore I

think it but just and right that they should be given a higher rank than that

of First Lieutenant, and a chance, by being faithful and attentive to their du-

tiou, of promotion as an incentive to remain in the service.



Provision shouid be made to provide medical stores for each regiment and

battalion in t.he State.

As we now sta nd, if a riot or. insurrection would req uire th e servi ces of our

State troops, the surgeons of the com mands ca lled on would not haYe anything

in the way of med icines or stores of any sort to depend upon.

Thev would be in about the s!Ul1e co ndition as the soldiers would be were

they se nt out wi thout weapons.

There s hould be kept sto red at the headquarters of each regiment and bat-

talion a chest stocked with such medicines, in struments, bandages, etc., as

might be required; also two hand-litte rs. The original cost would not exceed

one hundred dollars for each command, and in case of need would repay th e

outlay many tim es.

The experience of another State wh ere the wounded of th ei r troops lay on

ground for thirty-six hours and suffered for the lack of medical stores should

teach us to prepare for like emergencies.

Experience thus bought is usually dearly bought and long regretted.

Very respectfully,

N . G. GE\\'INNER,

REPORT OF INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF SMALL ARMS PRACTICE.
STATE OF GEOHGIA,
OFFI CE OF THE IX SPECTOH- G EXERAL Ob' S)I ALL ARMS PRA CTICE ,
A'rr. AN'l'A, September 15, 1893.
T o th e Adjutant and Inspecto1-General, St(tte of Georgia .
SJR - I have th e honor to submit th e foll owing report of the target firin g of -the Georgia Volunteers , on th e Sta te's R ifle Range, Camp North eu, for the tar_get seaso n or year ending August 31, 1893.
'l'H ii PRESCRIB ED S YS TE,\L
The syste m of small arms practice is se t forth in Ge ne ral Orders No.4, Apri l .30, 18!12, Adjutant and Inspector-General's office, State of Geo rgia; the main provisions I!Overuin g it were stated in my rep ort for 1892. It is sullst~ntiall y th e system in Yogue in ' ~ r,;terl States Army . Ce rtain m odifications have been re nde red neceEsary by reason of the fo llowing fac~s : (1) want of s uffi cient ammnnition ; (2) want of adequate facilities for preliminary practice; (3 ) want of sui table ranges at hom e stations; ('l) want of tim e and oppo rtunity for extended practice during to urs of duty at the annual e ncampment-. All practice on th e State's range was conducted strictly in acco rdance with the es-tablished system.
R\l'i G E.
Since iast year's firin g th e rifle range has been wideneJ by forty [eet by clearing ground along its entire length on th e camp side, thus giv ing a ureadth -of one hundred feet.
The target pit and markers' s helter we re like wise lengthe ned to one hundred feet. 'fh e catch-butt immediately in rear of the targets was reb uilt of tim bers laid horizontally across the ran ge, and supported by props at short int..rvals. This butt bad suffici ent length, but wa~ deficie nt in height. It was built by -co nt ract; tl. e specification called for a beig ht of at least fi rteen feet a bove the t op of the markers' shelter; when comp le ted and inspect ed its h eight was found to be about ten feet; moreover, it was not co mpactly constructed . Vacant s paces as great as ten inches in diameter, were left at several points. I regret to report that the work was carelessly and unsatisfactorily performed, for which the contractor was alone responsible.
As this range is to be a permanent one, and with a view to obviating the necessity for rebuilding the catch-butt each year, I would renew my rec-ommendat ions, made in previous communications, th at it be made of earth, free from rocks, a mound at least fifteen feet high , running the entire width -of the range and extending fifteen feet beyond each flank. Somewhat less than t h e natural slope should be given th e front face. Such a butt can be readily kept in repairs b y adding fresh ea rth in places cut away by bullets, whereas, the present wood en butt freq uently requires the secti ons in rear of the several targets to be torn down and replaced by fresh material.
I desire to again suggest that the surface of the hillside in r ear of I h e targets be completely cleared of trees, and then furrowed at intervals, in a direction perpendicular to th e general direction of the range ; also that a butt be built .across the range at the summit of the hill; to be of earth, one hundred and .fifty feet in length, and about fifteen feet in height, similar to th e butt directly in r ear of the targets. The present butt is about ready to fa ll ; moreover, it is :not of sufficient length .

104

These seYe ral improveme nts should ~e made before _th_e next _f'ncampment _ When completed, I believe th e r~nge Wlll _be as safe a~ It -Is pra~tiCable to make it, and that practice may be contmued Without the mterruptwns and ? elays experienced during the last two seasons. The o wner of the property duectl y behind the ran ge again co mplained that his hired men- refu sed to continnewot k durin" th e progress of the firin g, claiming that these men felt themselves in danger fl':o' m ricoc het bullets falling in rear of the upper butt. Upon his re quest I suspended practi ce for a portion of one day to enable him to gather fruit (peac hes) in that vicinity. I made a perso nal investigation of the matte r,. stationing nnseli for about two hours during known distance firi ng in rear of the butt at the top of the hill , and also in th e orchard about one hut~dred yards beyond. During this time two ricochet ball s were beard to drop along the near edge of t his fidel. In my opinion, these shote came from th e left side of the range, probably hi gh shots which passed over the stop butt, and jumped from th e hard ground behind t hat fl a nk. Opposite the righ t flank
and middle of the hntt th e ground is low a nd soft. By raising the butt near the targets and furrowin g t he hillside, as sugges ted, it is believed that this.
difficulty will be, in grea Lmeasure, if not fully OVt'rcome. Anothe r complaint was mad e to the effect that there was danger from fall-
ing bnllPts in a v in eyard located about two huudred yards in r~ ar, and from one hun dred to one hundred and fifty yards to the ri ght o~ the line of fire.
This <barge was also carefnlly exa mined in to by myself in person, and by several men of th e co mmand . No e l'idence of danger was d iscovered, alth ough, practice was bein g bad on five targets at the time. I am sa ti~fied that this complaint was withont good or s uffi cient foundation.
In m y last r E'port attention was called to th e low ground immediately in
front of the 500 yards firin g point, and recom menrlation was made that thi s be filled in and the higher ground in front laveled down. This work bas bee n
done, and satisfactorily, save that the newly made snrface is very rough and un even. However, firin g by skirmishers was done from all points of th erange. Th e firing points at 500 and 600 yards have been leVeled as recom m enrled.
Other essential features of th e range were described in my report for 1892.

TARGETS,

By widenin g the range to <>De hnndrecl feet, sufficient space at the pit was

made avail able for the placing of fi ve targets. The fiv e target fram es (for

targPts A and B) used were of the Texas target pattern, and gave co mplete

satisfaction. Th e re)!ulation D. E. and F. Targets (nine groups ) were used in

individual sk irmi sh practice for record.

Owing to want of tim e, com pany skirmish, volley and fi le firing was not had ..

with s mall e r commands in attendance at camp, this important practice would_

be practicable.



TARGET HOLTi'iE.

A suitable building, in which were stored targets when not in use, ammunition and spare mate rials, was built at the east end of the target pit. It proved a very great convenience ; indeed without it much delay would have been. occasioned, as frequently occ urred durin g last year 's practice.

PA STEHS.
I desire to call attention to the very poor quality of buff pasters furnished, tothe e nd that the trouble experienced throughout the entire practice may be corrected, or guarded against before anoth er year. These paste rs were found very defective. The pas te or gum used in coating their faces was insufficient ;. they fail ed to properly adh ere to the targets. A slight jar of the target, even a bit by a bulle t, would cause them to fall off. This defect was an inconve nience and occasim ed embarrassing delays. It was found necessary to prepare or improvise a spPcial paste. It is suggested that this matter be reported tothe propPr authorities of the War Departmpnt, and that authority for the return to the Ordinance Departmf>nt of all bufl:' pasters on band be sec med, an d that the same be replaced by serv ieable material. In this connection I will state that since their receipt, the above mentioned pasters were kept in a dry

. 105
room in the base ment of the Capitol , and at camp under good cover-dry and' free from exposure to moisture.
'l'ELEPIIONE LINE.
For establishing and maintaining ready com munication between the targets. and the seve ral firing stands, a teleph one line, as in 1892, was fnrni shed by the Quartermaster's Department; one in stnpn ent bei ng perma nentl y located in the markers' pit, the other, portable, at the firing points, as occasion required. Only h y t heir em ployment was prompt practice possible. They are indispensable accessories on a ny ran~e. These telephones worked satisfactorily, save on a fe w occasions; but the difficulties were speedi ly corrected by an expert from Griffin. In this co nn ection, I r ecom mend t h at sun shelters. be coustrncted for the telephone at each firing p oint, thereby obviating the very trying exposure to th e bot sun of men in charge of th e same.
TROOPS ENG AGED I N THE FIRING l'HAC'l'ICE.
The following troops, in attendance at the camp of instructi on , took part in the firin g, th e remftind er of the Volunteers we re n ot at camp :
Infan try.- l st. Vo lentee r Regim e nt ; 3rd Regim e nt, except Company A., not at camp ; lHt. Battalion. detachment of nineteen offi cers and men of 3rd Battalion who were authorized to use the range on July 26th.
Cavalry. -5th Regiment, except Troops F. and G., not at camp. Artillery.-Chatham Artill er y. Th e Atlanta Arti llery, which was p rese nt, declined to tak e adva ntage of the practice. As an e ncourage me nt to th ese latter troops, officers and men of this arm of service were given opportuni ties for firin g with s mall arms. In ad dition to practi ce wifh rifl es , w hi ch were borrowed from the infantry for th e purpose, the Chatham Art illery practiced at 600 yardR range with th e .-l5 calibre,Gatling G un , a ud with very good res ul ts. The B Target \Yas fired at, an d was bi t by the first, or trial shot.
INSPEC'l'OHS OF SMALL AR) IR P HACT ICE.
The fo ll owing named office rs acted as cinspectors of th e p ractice of t heir reRpective regiments a nd batta li ons: !st. Regim ent, L ieut. Robt. P. Lovell; l st Battalion, Lie ut . Porter Fl..,ming; 3d Battalion, Capta in William W . Williamso n : Chatham Artill ery, Lieut. Geo rge P. Walker. No in spectors were appointed for the :~d Regiment, Infantry, or 5th Regiment, cavalry. The co nso lidated r eports oi t hepe two organilmtio ns we re compiled by the In spec tor-General of Small Arms Practice. It is res pectfully suggested th at regimental commanders be directed to designate inspectors for t heir commands when en gaged in p racti ce, otherwise the labor in vol ved in the verifieati on of company reports a nd the p reparation of consolidated reports is th1own on thi s. office . This work itself is no t objected to, but with a vie w to in str uction and information, at least one offi cer of each organization should not alone be able to prepa re co rrect reports, bnt should superi ntend all p ra ctice of their comm and, b ecome fami liar with its routin e, with the co nstru ction and use of ta:gets and thorough ly acqua int himse lf with the prescri bed system . They cannot a lways ex pect to depend on othets. These deta ils are no less a sch ooling t han drills; they constitute esse nti al features of an offieer's responsibility ..
ImPO RTS.
It is gratifyin g to state that reports of co mpany practice we re. f!S a rule, very promptly rendered, and before the departure of the troops from camp, and they were very ge nerall y complete a nd correct. This was a marked improYement over the experi ence of last year. \Vith t he fi eld and staff an d a few companies of the :~d Regiment satis facto ry interest was not manifested, eith er in th e firing or in the rendition of r eports th ereof. Several reports were in accurately prepared, and in one case, Company K, the re port was not forwarded, as required by orders, until after the return of th e command to its. borne station. No report of the firin g of the fi eld and staff oft.be 3d tegiment was furnished this department. The regim ental co mmander, however, reported by letter th at two of the field and staff fired at 200 and 300 yards; the-

106

scores were not reported. 'fhe annexed statement of firing and classification therefore shows two third class men. Ample facilities for tiring were afforded .all officers and men, and it is not un<lerstood why so many (38) of this regiment failed to practice. Quoting from my report of last year: " By reason -of the failure of officers and men to fire. the figures of merit of their respective organizations are correspondingly reduced." This is not so important a desideratum as that these men lost valuable instruction.
I would here take occasion to commend the zealous and efficient work of Lieutenants Lovell and F le ming on the rifle range. I wou ld specially comm end Lieutenant F le ming for the completeness and accuracy of all reports from the 1st Battalion.
For convenience in keeping the record of shots on t he range, 1 reco mmend that suitable score cards be printed and distributed from the office of the Adjutant and Insp ?ctor-General, prior to practice at the n ext annual encampment.
HOUHS FOR I'RACTICE.
Practice was held daily, Sundays excepted, from 8 o'clock, A.M., to about 6 o'clock, 1'. M., an intermission of an Lour being allowed for dinner. The several commanders of the post did much to expedite and promote the firing by ex-cusing officllrs and men from other duties when called for by the range officer.
I regret to state that several commands were not prompt in reporting for practice at the hours designated, which occasioned considerable delay.
GEN lmAJ, RESUUl'S.
An examination of the accompanying tables of classification will exhibit the :following general results of the practice:
7 sharpshooters--! inlantry, 3 cavalry. 13 marksmen-7 infantry, 6 cavalry. 29 first class men-16 infantry, 1:l cavalry, 1 artillery. 49 second class men-39 infantry, 13 Pavalry. li33 third class men-447 infantry, 167 cavalry, 19 artillery . 67 fourth class men-50 infantry , 8 cavalry, 9 artillerv. 798 total classified-56Uinfantry, 209 cavalry, 29 artillery.

'!'he tabulated statement attached hereto shows considerable improvement -over the results attained during tbe target year of 1892, the first regularly conducterl. practice. With the exceptions noted above, much greater interest was displayed by officers and men. It was evident from the firin g that more .attention bad been given to preliminary practice, and, by a few commands, to preliminary instruction. Vtry few complaints were heard as to the recoil, or "kick," of the piece, although there were many new men in ranks. There was less fear exhibited in firing. Men assumed the correct positions with greater ease, and fired with greater steadiness. The use of the sights was better understood, and as a rule, sights were properly set and adjusted. The .average per cents. of scores of the different organizations were, with fe\v exceptions, higher than shown in last report. This is particularly true of those commands which have occasional practice at home stations, namely, troops from Savannah. '!'he interest felt in target practice is very marked among them. Two ranges of 200 and 300 yards each have been constructed and used-at th eir own expense. I am informed that a very good 600 yards range, which is t;Uitable for skirmish firing, has b een secured , within easy reach from the city. I would su!:?gest that this range be inspected, and if found satisfactory, it be officially aaopted for the use of commands stationed at and near Savannah. For the prescribed practice, preliminary and for record, the necessary ammunition an d material should be furnished by th e State, and scores made thereon be considered in determining classification ; in other words practice on this ran ge should be recognized, the season for th e same to be fixed in orders from the Adjutant and lnspectorGeneral's office. All firing for record should be conducted under the personal supervision and direction of th e Inspector-Geneml of Small Arms Practice, who should be ordered there for the purpose. I invite examination of the accompanying tables and the .above figures for information as to individual and collective res ults. The following summaries may not be out of place. vVitll the sharpshooters and marksmen, the best firing, hig hest scores, were, without exception, made by the infantry; due in g reat m easure, doubtless, to the superior qualities of the rifle at the mid ranges. The carbine is a sh orter weapon, and is provided with a much coarser front sight. It. is inferior to the rifle at 600 yards, while at the shorter ranges it is appare ntly its equal, as th e scores will show. For this reason the required standard of classification is less with the carbine. For the sharpshoote r's class the rifle is h andicapped twelve points ; for the marksman's class, ten points.
The prescribed standard is as follows : For a sharpshooter, "an aggregate in regular practice at the known distances, :lOO, :~00, 500 and 600 yards, and in regular skirmish practice of 120 with the rifl e : 108 with the carbine." "For the marksmans' class, au aggregate in regular practice at zOO, 800 and 500 yards, and as a skirmisher, with the rifle, of 90 ; with the carbine, 80. " From careful observation of the firing and an examination of scores made by -officers and men of the various commands , and with a view to stimulating interest in and encouraging this instruction, it is my opinion that the standard may be safely lowered without detracting from the significance of classification; and for the present I would recommend the following figures : 8harpsbooter's class, with rifle, 115; with carbine, 105. Marksman 's class ; with rifle, 85 ; with carbine, 78. Where adequate facilities for preliminary firing -are at hand, the present figures are none too high, but with the troops of this State such advantages are sadly wanting, as suitable ranges are available at -only a very fe w stations. 'IV" here they .can be constructed it is beyond question the duty of the State to provide them. In this connection I may report that at Maccn an excellent range of 600 yards can be prepared at a nominal cost; the only item of consequence being a stop-butt of earth. A range at this point would afford means for practice not alone for the commands there located, but for thfSe in the vicinify, namely: Companies E. H, 1, K, L , M, Second Regi" ment, and Companies C, E, G, H, Third R egiment. vVith troops who are denied advantages of ocL'asional practice, the present standards are so high as to be discouraging. The placing of even one marksman's insignia in each or'ganization would excite a stimulating and healthful interest., and would help materially to build up and establish the system. I would not be understood .as laying exclusive stress on mere individual a ttainments; good general re-

108
suits and effect a re of course most d esirable. A child mus t creep, h owe 1e r ,. before h fl walks, and during his n ovitiate must b e g iven so me special incentive. 'l'h e h igi.J est aggregate sco re, 128, made (luring the season was by 'Lieutenan t George T. 0 dnn, Third Batta lion. Th e best shooting with th e carbin ewas clone by Private F . Cheatham Wilson , Fifth Georgia Cavalry, who q ualifi ed as a sharpshoote r befo re go ing baek to 600 yards . His score at 600 yard s was much below his gmera l average. This fact. toget her with the co mpa rat ively poor scores with the ca r bine at t his point by all fire rs, clearly demonstrates th e infe riori ty of thi s piece beyond 500 yards, the main reaso n . being,. it is thought, t he coa rse ness of the fron t sigh t. The best sco r~s a t t he d iffere n t rangeB were: At 200 yards (23) by Lieute nant L ovell. This office r a lso mad e th e high est sco re ('U) at 600 yards, but it was unfortunatel y made during preli m inary prH ctice of fiv e s hots at this distance, which privilege was allowed all fil'in!! as sharpshooters, as time was a vailable. At 300 yards (21), by L ie utenant Huge r and ~ergeant Baco n , 'r nird Battalion; at 500 yard s (H ), by L ieutenant Uann, Third Battalion, and Corporal Jones, F ifth Regiment ; at skir mish, (35), by Co rp oral Jones.
The best average shooting at all r anges was d on e by the detachm en t of th e Third Battalion, wb ieh came to camp solely for ta rget practice. This reco rd cannot be co mp a.red w ith t hat of oth er comma nds, as th ose e ngaged were selected men, many expert r iflemen . As ide from the re,o rd of this team, the hi ghes t averag<J pe rce ntages werP. those of 'lroop A, Fifth Reg iment, and. Com pany E, F irst R egiment.
'l'h e hi ghest co mp.my figure of merit was attained by Troop A; the ne xt best by Company E. 'l'l1e highest r egimental figure of meri t was 19.9, by th e First Hegiment. The fig ure of me rit of the entir .., infantry was 14.3; ca1alry, 19; artillery, 8.(; . Th e fig ure of m e ri t of the Vo lun teers a Lte nd in g camp was 15.3.
PRELDIIN ARY 1:\STR UCTION.
From an examination of the attached stateme nt of average per ce nt~ of scores at 200 and 300 yards, it is eviden t t ha t pre liminary instru ctio n and practice is mn ch n eeded . The ave rage per ce n t . of sc,.res, enti re force, at 200 yards . is ab out %, or an average score of about 8 ; at 300 yards, abo ut 27, or an ave rage score of about 7. Th ese tigures are t0o small, and ca n on ly be improved by a more regular attention to preparatory training. Under the rules. laid down in General Orders No. 4, 1892, referred to above, all officers and men '"hose scores at these two ra nges aggregatecl 25 o r more, were allowed to co ntinu e practice at 500 yard s. Notwithstanding thi s small figure, b ut 173 ou t of 798 were e nti tled to fire at th e greate r distance- onl y ::!1.6 per ce nt. of the whole command at ca mp . 'l'hese facts plainly ind icate that pre li minary work is much overlookeJ and neglected.
The detachm ent of the Third Battalion, Troop A, 5th R egiment, and Company E , 1st Regiment, are exceptions to the>e conclu8ions .
The captains and officers of companies are responsible for th ese defi ciencies. In this co nnectio n I t> x tract th e fo llo wing remarks f ro m my last annual report: "Hegarding prelimina ry instr uction , t h ere seem s n o valid excuse for its omission, " as is the rul e am ong the maj ority of the troops. "Before a man e ngages in target p ractice, he s hould be well grounded in a know ledge of th e piece, th e use of the sights, should know how to set th em and to adjust th e wind a2e . Sigh t ing drills, aiming an d position dr ill s can be readily earried on in any armorv . They should constitute as much a part of t h e work of a company as the manual of arms and compa ny movements. Th ese drill s are elem entar y, . but when well understood h ave their influence in after practice.?' It is believed that this instruction wou ld be given more atte ntion if prescribed regulations were placed in th e hands of the troops. l wi ll say that this depart m entis now prepared to publish, in con venient form, for the use of the volunteers, a suitable manual of instructions fo r small arms practice, embracing sucu portions of the firing regulations as have a direct bearing on the individual train- ing of the r ecruit. I only await 1he necessary fund s for such purpose. Th e expense herefor should be borne by the State; the troops cannot reasonably be expected to meet it. " As an advance b eyond these tirills, faciliti es for gallery practice should b e furni shed. This is target practice on a reduced.

109
-scale-that is with reduced charge and weight of projectile, r~Jduced target and .a shorter range ; practicable in the majority of armones.''
Since my last report, several commands which have l'hown a willingness .and desim to take up such work, have been supplied with gallery targets, cast-iron, 50-foot. range, wi rh reloading o utfits and some ammunition. There suits baye been very ~atisfac tory. In two command s, Maco n Hu ssars, 2d Regiment, a nd Company E, 1st Regiment, the keenest inte rest has bee n awakened .and exhibited in this character of instruction; original and very successful methods for carrying on even Eimulated skirmish firing have ueen put in practice by t he respective company commanders. I re~pectf ull y reco mmend that gall ery material be furnished, as soo n as practicable, to such co mmands .as occu py suitab le arm ories, a nd give promise of faithful practice, and of care of tools.
A noth er feature of instruction , whi ch is essential in skirmish firi ng is very _generally overl oo ked , namely: Drills in estimating d istan ces. On th e State's ran ge, distances can be too rea dily approximated, as me n snon become familiar with the locatio n of th e firing pornts and other landmark s. This cannot be avoided. Skirmish firing should properly take place o1er unmarked and somew hat undulatin g gro und , wh ere d ista nces fr.om th e targe ts must be -esti rnatecl.

G ENERAL REMARKS.
I am pleased to report t.hat th e ran ge has been put in ve ry good wo rkin g -ord er , t hanks to Colonel A. .J. ' Vest, Quarter master-Gene ral, and Captain L. H . Ken an , Assistant Quartermaster. With th e exception of the inter rupti ons_ noted a bove, firin g p o!!ressed smoothl y, and without bitc h or dela y.
Cap tain K e nan re maining constantly at cam p, I came freq uently in official -contact with him , and I am free to say that much of the success attending the work was clue to his kindness and promptness in answering e very call made upon him as P ost Qnarterm aste r.
I was ably assisted during th e season of firing by Lieutenant Frank G. Ma uldin , 3rd U . S. Artillery, a p ainstakin g and zE>alous officer. He contributed largely to the good general results accomplished.
In justice to a most efficient, faithfu l and reliable non- commi ssioner\ officer, it affurcls me pl easure to comm end tl e services of Corporal 0 . H. Brons, Battery I , 3rd 11. S. Artillery, who was em ployed as in charge of targets, markers' pit, and te!epb one linP . Th e burden of the work fell on him -; be -proved himself equal to all demands. All repairs to tar!!ets Wt->re made by !him; the marking of targets was under his immediate s upervision; be bad pf'rsonal charge of a rl material. Durin g the firing he was ontinually present in the pit. Corporal Brons is an intelligent and m ost dese rving non-commiss ioned officer. ; :>. man of exemplary habits. Very respectfully,
Your Obedient :::iervant,

REPORTS OF COMMANDING OFFICERS OF CAMP OF I NSTRUCTION.

[ 1]

SAVANN AH, GA., A ugust l , 18!l3.

A c~juldnt cmd Inspector-General, Atlanta, Ua .,

Sm:- In acco rdan ce wi t h paragraph 14 of General Ord ers No. 8, I sub mit

my report of my to ur of du ty at Camp No rth en. I ass um ed command of th e

Post at n oo n ou Mond ay, July lit h , and remain ed in command until n oon on

Wedn Psday, Jul y 26th.

T he t roops in Cam p dur ing t his period co nsisted of th e :

F irst Vo lun teer Regimen t of Georgia ; Lieut ena nt Co lonel Peter Reill y,

-comman d in g.



Th e Third Regiment , Georgia Volun teers; Colonel William F. J on es, com-

man d ing.

Chatham Artill ery, Second Lieutenan t George P. vValker,- com manding.

Th e Atl>mta. Artill ery, Ca pta in Clement C. Brad ley, command ing.

On th e fi rst day t here were p resen t in camp, 455.

Office rs a nd mt> n on t he last day: 434.

Statements a re h Preto attached marked Exhibit A. ,sh ow ing t he d aily attend-

.a nce of officers a nd men.



.

Copies of th e ord ers i~sned for th e govern men t , a nd b reaking up of th e camp,

ar e a t tached , mar kPd Ex hi bit }3.

The general res ult of th e encampme nt was very satisfacto ry. T he disci p-

line, as a rul e, was good. No disor de r or i nsurbo rdination of a ny kind oc-

-curred within th e limits of t he Qamp. 'l' be des ire to acq uire mi litary knowl-

edge on the part of both officers and men was ap parent, an d t here was appar-

e nt ve ry ev ident progress in th e practical q ualit ies of so ld iers hi p.

The prescribed d rill s a nd paradt's were da tly h eld , except th at th e Dress

Parade was pre vent ed on th e afte rnoo n of th e 17th inst., by a VIOlent storm.

On t h e aftprn oon of the 25th th e Co mpany drills were s uspend ed on acco unt

of the heat , and th P n ecessar y' prepara tions for break inj,{ Cam p on the mor-

row. On arrival at Camp th e tents were cheerfull y p itched by th e men. Tbe

Compan y stree ts as a rule were kept clean and in good order. The Mess H alls

.and messing arrangemE-nts were excel lent. The condition of t he sink s sh owed

_a mark ed improve ment since th e encampm ent of 1892. The gem..ral health of

t he Camp was good, and no seri ous sickn ess appeared, as is sh ow n by the re-

port of P ost Surgeon Lincoln , forwarded t hroul!h the Post Commander to

th e Surgeon General of th e United 1:ltates. The U nited Stat es officers assigned

to duty as Instrn ctors were compete nt an d pains t akin g, and imparted useful

instructi on to officers and men.

Ca ptain George C. Gree nough delivered a d ail y lecture to th e officers, a nd

m ade a thorough in~pectio n of th e a rms, accoutre ments and quarte rs of the

troops. Ca ptain Owen F. K enan, Second Regime nt Georgia Volunteers, pro ved

a very comp<>tent instr uctor in th e du ties of sentries. Ca ptain Le wis H .

Kenan, Assis tant Quartermaster, was always active, effi cient and obliging.

Lieutenants Hallock and Ma u ldin, U nited States Army, were very attent-ive

and skilful in their respective departments.

Lieutenant C. .B. Satterlee, in addition to other very onerous burdens, dis-

cha rged the duties of Post Adjutant with his usual zeal a nd ability , an d was

largely instrumental in achieving th e s"ccess of the Camp. As Inspector of

Rifle Practice, h e accomplished a much higher effi ciency than has heretofore

p revailed, a nd ltis report will exhibit scores worthy of note and e mulation .

. On the aftern oon of Saturday, the 22d inst. Governor North n , with mem-

bers of his Staff, yisited th e Camp and reviewed th e trvops. The revi e w was

.successful, and was followed by a display of open or!fer exercises, with some

113

-of the features of an attack upon a concealed enemy: the Chatham Artillery

-opening fi re with their Gatling gun, and the Atlanta Arti llery with their field

pieces, and the Infantry firing blank cartridges as they advanced to dislodge

the foe. A large number of spectators witn essed the display. and the

'Presence of the Commander in Chief exercised an inspiring influence.

The Third Georgia Regiment of Volunt.eers entered camp under depressing

influences. The lieutenant-colonel had recently resigned. ~1aj o r Thomason

has onl y recently qualified; the other major and the adjutant were absent.

The colonel commanding appeared to give little active attention to the drill

or government in detail of his regiment. The e ight companies present were

div1ded into two battalions of four companies each, one under the command

.of Major Thomason and t he other under t:ommand of Captain God frey, of

the Madison Home Guard s. Both these officers wP.re aided by adjutants

temporarily assigned ior tbe occasion, and tbey displayed much zeal in in-

structing the men nnder their command in battalion movem ents. The visible

improvement in a few days displayed the capacity of the several co mpanies;

.their fine material was evident, and as companies t hey were, as a rule, well

officered and drilled. as a most effective

Th ey are command .

regimental organizatio n was very imperfect. Upon the w hole the Post-Com-

mander feels able to report that the resu lt of the ten day s' encampment was

very creditable to tbe State troops, and tbat the improvement in discipline,

.dril l, and the discharge of the practical d uties of the soldier, was very mani-

fest. The LaGrange Light Guards-, attncbed to the Third Regiment, did not enter

the camp . The changes made in the camp since 1892 are, in my opinion, great

improvements. The location oi t he tents, tl.J e n e w mess halls, th e assignment

.of a sink to each co mpany, t he placing of the water spigots and tbe opening

of a road at the foot of the parnde. with a substantial guard- house, are all in

the line of progress. I would respectfully recommend, ~ s furth er needed im-

provements, th e erection oE a sink and batn-hcuse for th e comm issioned

officers of each separate battalion in camp at the snme time; the common use

.of these n ecessaries hy officers and men must obviously menace th e main-

tenance of proper Jiscipline.



'fhe space partly covered by trees between the tent of the post-commander

nnd the parade shonid be lighted at night. Concerts by th e band and religious

exercises were th ere held, aucl on dark nights tile. locality is buri ed in dark-

.ness. Th is space and other portions of the camp are still filled with protrud-

ing s tumps, which render locomotion dangerous. These stumps and project-

ing ends of small trees which have been t:ut should all b e remov ed. Befcre

nnother camp is h eld the loose stones \';hi ch cover the paracle shou ld be raked

'liP nncl re moved; they greatly incomm ode the troops in their evolutions. A

mower or grass-cutter should also be applied to the paracl e, in th e lower por-

.tiolls of th e same the weeds were so thick and tangled that it wns impossible

.to march there with comfort or precision.

Very respectfully submitted.

I sen d h erwith a co py of each day' s morn ing report (marked Exhibit 9) giving t he numbe r of o ffic er s and m en in camp.

CAMP. '
The tran sfPr of the m ess halls, tents, et c., for six troops fro m the low grounds in th e south ern part of the encampment !lro un ds to the rid ge ru"nn in g east from th e hospital building was a dec ided improveme nt. The loca ti on upon the ridge would, however, been better u tilizPd if th e buildings had been located ab o ut fu rty yar. ls more to th e n o rthw ar d. It is desirable that all t he ground south of the tlag staff be abandoned as a location for troop quarters on account

116

of its liability to overflow in very rain y weath er. There is room on the ridge for four more troops, t wo on the eas t. and two on the west, of the six already there. If th e rid ge location were utilized to its full capacity b)' removing to it four more of the southmost. m ess h alls, kit chen, etc., the aforesai d low g rounds liabl e to overflow , would be avoi d ed. The in creased wid t h of t be rifl e
range a llowed th e erection of five targets, thus g reatly facili tatin g th e small arms practice.
Th e removal of br ush and refu se through out tb e camp g ronn ds before the arrival of the troops gave to the grou nds an appearance of neatness, cleaanli-
n ess and h ea lthfuln ess, which was in marked contrast to th e appearance of th e grounds in 1892.
The tran sportati on of the Quarterm asteT's Depa rtm ent was suffi cie nt thi s yea r to enab le it to perfoTm its duties promptly and efficiently, a nd thus add largely to th e comfort and h ealth of t h e troops:
The promotion of Quartermaster- Serge:mt Louis H. K en an, to Captain Louis H. K euan, Assista nt Quarte rm aster of th e State, was recog ni zed as h is clue for
ser vices rend ered the l::ltate, and as desirable to en ab le him to co ndu ct th e arduous duti es of his department with better results.
The smooth and thoroug h wo rk of hi s department refl ected g reat cTedi t upon him , and th e organi zatio n of th e depaTtm ent and th e intellige n t fore-
t hough t and prov isio n for a ll i1 s needs, reflected great cr edit up on Col. A J. \V est, Quartermaster-Ge neral of the 8tate.

SUPPLIES.

Advertisements were p ut in th e newspapers of Atlanta, Macon, G riffin and

Savannah for bids to supply t he articles s pecified for Tations. The bids \r ere

open ed at noo n Ju ly 4th , anJ purchases made, based u pon them at wholesale

pr ices and fo r cas h. Beef, bread and ice were delivered daily by local con-

co mmissaries, an d ear h item cbaTgecl at actual cost. At th e end of t he e ncamp-

The ex peri ence and exec utive abi lity of Lieutenant Ja E. S. \ri ght, q uarter-

encampment in purchasing su pplies, and after the encamp,ne nt in settlin g

The morning reports of companies went to Battalion headq uarters; of troops, to Sq u adro n h eatiquarters. At sa id headquarters t hey were con~ol idated and fo r warded to Rl:'gimenta l headquarte rs. The p romptness and acc u racy of th ese repo rts showed t he effects of the experi ence gained in previous encam pments.

LEA \ ' E S AND .PASSES.

Leaves of abse nce to officers a nd passes to men were granted b y battalion a nd squadron CfJ mmande rs in accordance with general in stru ctions from the Post Commander. Leaves and passes for more t han twe lve hours, or for privil ege to go away from the neighborhood of the camp , wer e gran ted by t he Post Commander only.
DRILLS.
Upo n arr ival in camp at noon, Ju ly 6th , th e troops were required to pitch thei r ten ts. As very few of th <>m had eve r attem pted to pitch a ten t, and as there was n o one to show them how to un dert a ke it, it was surpris ing that they com pletfld the job as q ui rk ly a nd as creditab ly as th ey did.
At tiP. ) 1. Ju ly 6th , the first gua rd mounting took p lace; t hereafte\ it was at 8 A. ~t., dai ly. It was a reg imenta l guard. co nRist in g of detail s from the battalion a nd the two squaurons. It,; h eadq ua rters were at tlt e wooden bui lding n ea r t he main road learling from th e mine ral s prings into the camp grounds from t he north east.
Thi s building furni shed much morfl commod ious and comfortable q;;arters fo r gua rd tha n they had in a ny pre vious enca mpm en t.
I ordered the dr ill ho ur f rom 6 to 7 o'cluck, on J ulv 7th , to be devoted to compa n~' and troo p drill s co mman ded by com pany office rs. ObRc rvin g during th is drili that man y of the companies and troops contained num eru s r ecrui ts, I ordered that from a nd a fter J uly 8th , t he morning drill bo nr shoul d be devote d exclusiv ely to squad dri lls, partl y fo r th e be nefit of sa id recruits, but also to exe rcise t he non- commiss ioned office rs i n d rillin g and com mand ing sq uads.
After July 9 I suspended the above order, so fa r as Col. Levy's Battalion was conr.e rn ed, and requested hi n1 to order such dri ll s as b e deemed advisab le.
In the reg iment the sq uad d nlls were con tin11ed. Troops B, Hand 1 were well dri lled b~ the ir co t.wuissionerl oftlcers a nd by severa l efficie nt n on-comm issioned office rs in Troops Band I. The other non-co mm issioned offi cers need s ltld y and practice to come up to th e sta ndard req uired by the n ew drill reg ulations.
Troops D, C anrl E had a sca nt s upp ly of comm i sionecl offi ce rs , and th ese oAlcen; a nd troops had no oppo rtun ity of lea rnin g the manua l uf th e ca rbin e as th e.' were neve r supplied with ca rbines until just befo re th e encam pment. At th e req uest of th ei r commandin g officers details from Troop A dri lled their sq uads.
With rare e xceptions t hP. non-commission ed ofllcers of Troops D, C a ndE need study and practice to meet the req uireme nts ot th e n ew dri ll regulations.
The abo,e criti cism must not be und erstood to indicate t ha t a ny of these troo Ps have deteriorated. On t he co ntrary there is a distinct imp roveme nt in all sin ce Jnly, 1 89~, said improveme nt being greatest in T roo ps A, Band I in t he orde r in which they are named. The cri ticism is because the r egimen t r ecogniz ed a hi gher stan dard in 1893 than in 1892, a nd i.Jecause und er th e n ew

118
d rill regulation s the importance of the no n-commissioned officer b as been. so largely increased that much more is re q uired o( them than heretofore.
Afternoon exercises gave scope to compan y and troop and battalion and squadron commanders. Troops wen>formed, then squadrons, then the regiment. If time p e rmitt ed, a colo r company marched from the regiment to h eadquarters and escorted the standard to the regiment where it was received with appropriate ceremony.
After the reception of the stand;;trd there was eyenin g parade. At its concl usio n the regiment was re viewed by Captain Greeno ugh , F o urt h U nited States Artillery.
A t the co nclusion of the r eview the colo r compan y escorted th e colors t o head q uarters, and re maining troops wer e cltill ed in battali on and sq uadro n movements by th eir respective commanders.
After the rev ir.w July ,12, Co mpa ny C, F irst Battalion, Captain Fr y; and Troo p A, Fif t h R egiment, Captain Beirne Gordon, went through a n ex tended (s kirmish ) d rill , accompanied by the litter -bearers and ambula n ce corps of Lieu te nant ifalloch , Ass istant Surgeon Un ited States Army. In t his drill Troop A's rank s were recruited by a detail of te n members of Troop D.
Captain Fry's and Captain Go rdon's commands practiced t h e extended order drill s from 6 to 7 A )L July 1:1. Cap tai n Gordon's ranks we re co:11posed of hi s own troop and all the non-com missioneu officers of the other troops of t he regim e nt n ot ac tuall y engaged in oth e r flu ties.

S~ !AL L ARJ!~ PR ACTI CE.
The interest in the sh ooting at the ra nge was greater and more ge n eral th a n in 1892. Th e work progressed m ore rapidly beca use of a la rge r number of targets and because thos<:l wh o shot in JS!):l req uired fewer ex planations from th e instru cto rs.

CONCL USION.
Permit m e to r epeat the conclusion of my report in 1 89~: The s"cial surroundings have changed in the last few years in parts of this .as in other States. 'rhe ordinary resources of the civil authorities are notal-

120

ways suffi cient to insure protection to life and property, and as an adjunct to-

the civil authorities, the existence of an efficient citizen soldiery is invaluable.

In the cities cav11lry can do the patrolling usually done by mounted police-

men and thus enabl e the entire police force to be concentrated where most

needed, not only to protect threatened places, but also to reduce t he .chances

of attack or ri ot by prevent(ng the assembling of unlawful persons. In th e

country the main reliance must necessarily be cavalry, as they are the only

troops that ca n promptly reach points endangered.



It is tp be hoped that no step backward will be taken by the State, but that

while all other worthy objects of its beneficence are cherished and s ustained,

due provision will also be made for maintaining and increasing the effi-

ciency of h er patriotic sons on whom, in case of need, she must rely for preser-

vation of law and ord er.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

REPORT O.E INSTRUCTOR IN GUARD DUTY AT CAMP
OF INSTRUCTION.
MAcox, GA., August 8, 1 89:~.-
To the Adjutant and Inspec/01 General, State of Georgia, Atlanta:
Sm-I bave the honor to report th at in obed ie nce to Genera l Order No. 8,. current series, from your otiice, i reported on July oth, to the commanding officer, camp of instruction for the volunteer troops of th e State, near G-riffin, as " Instructor of Guards." Under the provisions of th e order, it was my duty to give direction to ' the ceremony of Guard Mount as prescribed by rPgnlations for the government of the a-rmy of the United States, to s up"rintend anti ex plain so far as in my power laylfr e d etail work of each member of said "Gua rds," and I considered it to be the spirit and intent of the order, that I should endeavor to impress upon the troops the great n ecessity of performing this most important duty of a soldier, in a manner in which business lik e m et hoclH, manly deport.ni ent, and soldie rl y bearin~ a lone shou ltl be obse rved, and in which the full di gnity and auth ority of a "Gnard" acting under authority of "Orders" from the Ub ie t Execut1ve of the 1-:itate, was clearly und er~ tood. I confess that I consider the full understanding of this part of my work to be th e most important feature in it. In the discharge ot the above named duties I was to be authorized to "visit and inspect" all guard s and sentinels whenever I deemed it necessa ry, and commanding of:llcers were in structed to see th:1t I had every opportunity for the t horoug h diseharge of the demands of m y detail. l n the very co mmen cement of my repo rt, I wish, str, to say that- if there was any defi ciency in the quaEty of the work done in the instruction of the guards of Camp Northen in lti93, th e blame fo r sa id deficiency <:an in no way be charged to the commanding officers of the camp during th e two tours of duty lWrform ed, ior every aid possible was given to me at all times, in fact Co lonel Gordon app~ared as deep ly interested in th e simpl est of th e details of the work as I was mys elf, and was neve r too busy or indisposed to g ive his personal direction to every recommendation mad e by me in the furtherance of th e work, health or personal co ndu ct of th e guard or any member thereof, and his interest in these matters was readily recogni:r.ed in the efforts of the men to win commencl:1tion bv a fai1hf ul exec uti on of orde rs and instructi ons.
In spea kin~r of the woik of oflicers a nd men, I s hall do so pl a inl y and to the point. I do not conceive it to have been your purpose in se nding me to the camp of inst ru ction to furnish Hn oppo rtu nity for harsh criticism of any one, nor am I expected to repor t a bette r st:1te of discipline and in ~ trn cti o n than exists. An error shown may result in an error cvrrected, aud th is is m y only object of spea kin g of tbem at a ll. It is a great plea~ ure to me to repo rt that in almost eve ry case both offi cers aml m e n sh owed a desirH for in stru ction, and a soldier ly deportment under :correction, which clearly demonstrated the fRet that they were capable of receiving the hi g hest degree of discip lirw , viz.: that whi ch comes from person:1l pride in tbe so ldierly discharge of the work assigned them , whatever its nature, a nd which is the res ult wh e rev er found in voluntet>r troops, of clear and co rrect instructi on, imparted to hon orable men, at their home stations , and by their company office rs. In a large maj ority of cases, it was clearly shown that company co mmande rs paid no attention to the individual instruction of their men in the duties of sentinels, and non- co mmissioned officers marched on guard who h:1d no conception of the duties whi ch were demanded of them. Th e earnestness and abili ty of th ese same noncommissionrd officers in acquirin g a fair amount of the knowledge which should have been im par ted to th em at home, and that, too, in one short tom-

122
-of duty, was only eviden ce that the commissioned officers bad b een derelict in t heir duty , an d the mortific.tion n ece~sa ril y felt by an y y oun g so ldier of spirit, wh en call ed upon in public to perform a duty incum bent upo n the r a nk b e h olds, and of which h e has to acknowledge total ignoran ce, should, I think, be m ad e,to re, t upon his compan y co mm and er, rath e r th a n upo u th e youn g soldier , whom I found, in nin e cases out of ten , to be full oi pride, willin g nrss, and ability to rece iveall l had to impart . Almost a ny of t he m co uld o tTer yo u a n hair-s plitting arg nm en t , as to wh y some littl e tbitt g in th e .drill r eg ulati on s should be otherwi se t ha n as p rescribed , but were unab].e to di scha rge th e duti es of a corporal or se ntinel of th e guard. I make ma rked excep t ion t o thi s criti cis m o t Troop A , Fi fth Hegim e nt, and th e entire First R egim en t o f In fan ~ry . I d o no t beli e ve t h at any otfice r alive can mak e a sentin el of a rec ruit in t en days, unl ess t he prin ciples of d isciplin e and the duties of a soldier have bee n tau ght hi m , partiall y at least , befo re he is pu t u pon post. I n th e service of Geo rgia, men a re worked to a fee li ng of d isgust , guing over th e tread mill of 'fours ri gh t" an d " ri gh t sh oulder , arm s," and not one wo rd of instru ction as to the r eal d uties of a soldier given, a nd th e comm issioned of:l3ce rs a re to blame, fo r just as t hey lead , so \Yill the ir me n foll ow.
Th e mos t impo rta nt factor in t he tra ini ng of a voluntee r soldier, is the i mp re sing him with the fact t hat his se r vice are n ot a boy's frolic , b u t that eve ry feat ure of i t co n tain s a ll t he esse nt ials of ma nly work. In no portion of hi s soldier work is this more t ru e th an in th e d ischarge of th e d ut ies o f a m ember uf th e guard , wh ether in t he ca pac ity nf o ffi cer , non comm ission ed o ffi ce r or private. I noti eed i n th e disch arge of my d uty t hat t he gua rd r ep ort f req ue ntl y bore e vi de nce that "such a nd s ueh men of such a nd such comm a nd , having bee n challenged b y th e sentin e l o n s uch and s ueh a post, fr equently ridi cul ed th e se ntin el and wh en arrest' was a ttempted , ran and m ade good -their esca pe." I kn e w of my o wn kn owledge of re peated in sta nces where m en of t he Third R egim ent ru shed past th e sen tinels i n sq uaJ s, a nd no .effort was m ade to p u nis h t he g uilt y pa rties, in fact it was boasted of in tb e very presence of t heir ofll cers a nd considered a splen did joke.

I am glad to state that but one or two cases of this kind were r eported dur-

ing th e tour of the 5th Cavalry and 1st Infantry Battalion and n ot one from

the First Regiment. I r egret to say that in the Third Regiment it was th e

rul e and n ..t th e ex<.:e ptwn , and th e bl ame mnst r est wh er e it beloncrs- wi t h

the office rs, who mu st acknowledge n egl ige nc e in ttoe discharge o f th eir duty

Or ignorance of th e thin gs which stw uld be taught their m en.

'

Th e First Reg im ent ln tantry is the b eEt instru cted command in all t he

duties pertaining to guards and sentinels of a ny doing duty d uring my de-

tail , and in thi s as in many other thin gs, is a model whi c ll th e other co m-

mands of the State may we ll co py. In the earnestness of th..ir wok the Fifth

Cavalry a nd First Batta li on a re in no way behind them, bnt they l ac~< that

farnili a ri ty with the variou s detail s, wbi~ b is so n oticeable in the F irst.

Th e Third lacks training in e very point. Th ey are willing to r eceive it,

anxious to recei ve it, and capable of receiving it, but unless the officers post

th e mselves, and put into use the knowled ge th ~y so acquire, progress i s

im possible.

I cannot too earnestly conde mn th e loose mann er in which t h e subject of

.Passes to en listed men, and the proper use of t he co untersig n b y offi cers was

treated in every command save the First Regim ent.

There is a p resc ribed for m of ' 'pass," and its use should be com p ell ed by

camp commanders. No enlisted m a n has the rig h t to recei ve or use the

co nnte rsig o, exce pt h e be a m e mb er of t he guard , and any su ch . offerin g to

gi ve it in answer to the challenge of a se ntinel, s hould at on ce be placed in

arrest. In r eceiving it, a com mi ssio ned office r does so upon hon or, and h e

.should g na rcl i ts use as sacredly as be would that hon or. I reg tet t o say that

in many cases it was used in anythin g than a proper and officer like manner,

while th e form and orthography of th e passes presented at g uard quarters,

was n ot in acc:o rclance with army regu lation s or Webster's diction ary.

In closi ng tlti s report, I earn estly reco m mend that sen try boxes, whid1

.could le easily moved from o n e p oint t o a noth e r, a nd be built with a view of

protection from t he sun mainlv , be constru cted before th e next tour of duty

at Camp North em . They sh ould be n ot less t h a n fo urteen in num be r. I

also r ecommend that co mfortable be nch es be pla ced at the g uard h o use, for

use by the membera o f the guard, and that th e means of keep ing a fresh a nd

pleasant tBsting suppl y of drinking water, b e improved if pussible. The mat-

tresses furnished by the State are of such poor material, that a week's use

leayes nothin g but a torn bag of straw, which seemed to furnis h b ut little

Com fort to the men wlt o sle pt upon tb em. In camp s of inst ruction it is no t

necessary to r ed uce tile sold ier to ail th e h ar ds hips of the fi eld , a nd a clue r e-

gard fo r th e sil11pler comforts will, I believe, r ed uce t he s ick r e p or t.

lt is with pleasure tha t I ackn owledge the unifo rm cour teRy exte nd ed mP. by

every ofl'ice r in camp, and the men wer e , wi t hou t exception , equally so, wh en

t hey understooJ t hat a sign of courtesy was n ecessary. I do not think t hat

the matter of salutes to offi cer s is well und erst ood, but t he improvement over

two yeas ago is w marked, t hat it must gi ve pleasure to any on e who has the

interest of the State SPr vi ce at b ea r t. P er fectio n is h ar d t o atta in in auy

[PJ
REPORT OF INSPECTION OF CAMP OF INSTRUCTION"~
FoRT MoNROE, VA., October 20tb, 1893.
To the O.(Ji ce?' in G'ha1ge of the Military Information Division , Adju tant General' s O.ffi ce, Washington, D. C.:
Sm-In compliance with instructions contained in paragraph 6, Special Orders No. 135, Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant-General'!> Office, June 15th, 18!l3, I have the honor to report that I left Fort Monroe, Virginia, July 4th, 1893, having previously reported to His Excellency, the Governor of G e o r g i a.
Upon reaching Atlanta, July 5th, I called upon but failed to see the Governor, I also went to Fort McPherson, Georgia, to have an understanding of the arrangements made for assistance , camp equipage and hospital corps detachment. That afternoon I started for Griffin, Georgia, in order to look about and familiarize myself with the locality in advance of the arrival of the troop~. Also to get myself established for work so as to be able to observe from the outset. 1st Lieutenant C. B. Satterl ee, 3d Artillery, accompanied me for similar reasons and to complete the camp arrangements.
The description of the camp ground given iast year by Captain LewisSmith, 3d Artillery, is practically complete for this year. I insert it intact.
''Camp Northern is located. near and to the southwest of Griffin, Spalding county, Georgia, about one miie from the railroad depot and three-fourths of a mile from the post-office in that city . It had been sel ected by the AdYisory Board of the State und er an Act of th e General Assembly , approved Oct0ber 17th , 18!ll , as a permanent camp site for the State militia. The property was conyeyed to th e i::l tate forever in fee simple, subject to revert to South Side Park Co., or their assigns, on ly on the happening of the contingency ' that the i::lta te of Georgia, by Act of General Assembly, ~h all, at any time, refuse to use said land for encampment purposess.'
"It contains 103 acres, ana is situated in a grove of pines, interspersed with a gtowth of small oak trees , with a sufficient supply of excellent water from a spring, at the foot of a slope occupied by the camp tentage, etc ., which supplies the water-works of the city of Griffin. The . youn g ~rowth has been cut down and the ground cleared, so as to make avenues for the company streets and a large parade and drill ground sufficient for all immediate requirements.
''The camp is laid out according to existing regulations, having twenty company streets, with tents pitched to accommodate the regulation allowance of officers and forty-two enlisted men per company . The field and staff officers' tents are at the bead of the streets of each battalion and regiment.
"Directiy in rear of each company street is a messhouse, raised above the ground and partly boarded up on the sides and ends ; in the rear of the mess-houses are cookhouses or kitchens, also boarded in and provided with cook stoves furnished bv the State. In rear of the cook-houses are bathhouses, provided with fonr sprinklers each, so that four men could have a shower-bath at the same time; and in rear of the bath-houses are s inks , also wooden, one for every two companies.
" The target ranj.!e is in rear of the sinks and running the entire length of the ground occupied as a camp; the trees have been felled and the undergrowth removed, and is prepared for practice at all ranges to include 600 yards . . "There is also a hospital building, a mess-bouse, kitchen, etc .. for ofllcers' mess, a commissary and quartP.rmaster storehouse , also a stable for field and staff officers' horRe~. The whole is admirably arranged, and will, after somefurther improvements to the various buildings, afford every convenience and facility for the comfort and care of all parties in camp.

125

" In the immediate vicini ty of the kitchen and water-pipes, the suppl y

from which was ample and C<> nv enient to all ; the water appeared to be of

exce llent qua lity ."

_

During tbe year that b as elapeed since the foregoing was written so many

of t he mess-houses, cook-houses, etc ., as were upon th e low gro un d reported

upon unfa vo rably by Capta in Lewis Smith , above nam ed , h ave been re-

moved to bigl.ter groun d . Another b ouse bas been provided for qnartocmas-

ter storage. A guard-house , woode n also, h av ing rooms for the officer of th e

guard, guardroom has been placed fa

with cing

gun-racks the parade

for two reliefs, and prison-room and on the road to the camp.

'Tuhnebabruriel dd~

ings so moved n o w face th e parade at ri ght angles to th e main li ne of com-

pany streets.

The headquarter tents, etc. , placed on the new line 2.nd fadng in the same

direction are between the company streets and hospi tal on the crest of the

highest ground sh aded by a youn g grove , not wholly clea red of und~rgrowth

.as yet.

The water-pipes, of iron, were rusted badly so as to give :m unpl easant

taste to the water.

The troops began to a rri ve the next morn in g, July 6th, 1893, the cars being

run upon a sidin g, in rear of th e camp, especiall y laid for the purpose by the

railroad.

The men got out of the cars, formed and were marched promptly to the

ground assi gned them. Th e 5th Georgia Cavalry were the fi rst arrivals.

T hey pitched their tents quitepromptly .

Colonel W . W. Gordon, -5th Regimen:. Georgia Cavalry. assumed command

at once. T reported to him u pon arr ival in compliance with th e orders of th e

War Department and the instructions of His Excellency, Governor N orthen .

At the expiration of the allotted time t hese troops were placed upon cars

and transported to their h omes . Everyth ing connected with this movement

was accomplishe d in a soldierly way a nd quickly.

After their departure th e tents were struck , fold ed , tent-pins draw n , etc.,

by the quarterm aster's civilian employees. The headquarter tents alone

were left standing.

On the morning of Ju ly 17th, Colonel George A . Mercer, 1st Volunteer

Regiment, arrived in camp and nssumed command. I reported to him in ac-

cordance with my instrnct ionR . H is regim ent foll owed, under command of

Lieutenant-Colon el Peter Rei lly. Took thei r places q ui etly and in an incred-

ibly short t im e barl t h eir tents ready for occupancy.

Colonel Mercer r emained in command until the close of the en campment,

July 26th, 1893.

These troops broke camp July 26th, 1893, leavin 6 thei r tents standing.

The gunR were re-l oaded upon th e cars (flat ) admi rably.

Assistant Surgeon H. M. Hallock,, U nited States Medical Department, was

in camp du rin g the entire peri od, with a complete fie ld hospital nne! an am-

bulance . He bad un der him a det~chment of four men of th e hospital

-corps Un ited States Ar my, and an excelle nt ambulance driv,!:lr, detailed from

Battery L, 3d Artillflry.

Third Lieutenant Frank G.Mauldin . 3d Artillery, was there also, as instructor

in small-arms prnctice , and was on the range constantly. He hR.d with him,

for superin tending the butts and targets , an exceptionall y capable nm-com-

m issioned officer , Corporal Orla H. B rons, Battery I, 3d Artill ery.

Eve ry ofl1cer of the a rm y pre!>ent made e very effort to assist by ad vice and

encouragement and to foster a sentimen t of community of interest. Their

-effor ts were met with a cordinlity and good feeling that were most g ratifying.

A simil ar spirit animated the men.

ADMINIST RATION.

The admi nistrative officer s of the State of Georgia are an Adj utant and I nspector- General , a Qua rtermaster-General, a Judge-Advocate Gener al, a
Surgeon- General. all with the ra nk of Colonel, and an Advisory-Board . The Adj utant-General of this State is, b esides, th e keeper of the public
g rounds and b uildings, in 'this latt er capacity h e recei ves a small salary.

126
At prese nt be is ably assisted by an officer of the regular army, 1st Lieut. C . B. Satterlee, 3d Artillery , who was detailed for duty with the troops of this State some time ago. This officer is untiring in his efforts and has g reat vers atility and adaptability. H e bas, during the past yea r, prepared and issuPd, und er the direction of the Governor and A<ijutantGeneral, a sPt of record s, books and blanks adapted from those of th e United Sta tes service. These' books are being opened , and th e first returns are already in the hands o[ th e Adjutant- General. _:But there will b e th e difficulty above refE>rred to in compiling these papers and rectifying errors dne to misapprehension and carelessness . Lieutenant Satte rlee has sys te matized th e office work in so far as it has b eerr poss ible for one set of h a nd s. A definite policy is being evolved.
In ca mp th e method s of administrati on were exceedin gly s im pl o. The commandmg officer of the camp for the ensuin g te n d ays, upon arrivin g in camp, iss ued an ord er ass umin g co mmand , in whi ch h e desig nated his staff, the hours for roll -tall s.' drill ~, p a rad es , etc. (One co py inc losed. ) Th e first evE>nin g of camp the o ffi ce rs and L~t Sergea nts were asse mb h--d at headq uarte rs, where care ful instruction was given by l ~t Lieute nan t C . k . Satte rl ee, 1 hird Artill e ry, in t he boo ks and blank~, th eir impor ta nce and uses. Th Pse were th en distribu te d , a nd befor e the e nd of th e ten days ,\>ere workin g s"tisfactoril y in lie n of th e m ethods in pn: v ous use. A num ber of tb e co mpa nieshave been using Amm el's roster, ot hers hav e Jonns de vi sed by th emsP!ves. Ttoe need for such a pa r:an be made really appa rent to t hem only when in camp, its full u- e on ly after an encampmen t o[ se veral wee ks, wh en de tails for va rious duti es might he repeated . F ur a rm or y u se man y n ow have rollbooks, in whicl:rare entered attendan ce at drills, etc.
Th e form to be used for th e latte r purpose is bound as !1 pamp hl et and issued fr om the Ad jutant-Ge LJ era l's offi ce. (One cop y i nclosed.) Th e n Pxt form iss ued was th e ' 'Compan y ::lick Report. " (One cop y in closed. ) Assistant Surgf>on H. M. Hallock, U. f::l. Medi cal Departm ent, examin ed th e-e books with th e l'ost Surgeon , so that al l becam e familiar with th e m, as also th e regist er and presc ription book fo r tb e use of th e h os pital itself. (One copy inclosed ). And tb e Post-Surgeo n's " Mornin g Sick Re port," to b e s ubmitted to th e Post-Adjutant dai ly. This was issued in pamphl et form. (One copy in-
clo~ed . )
The uext fo rm was the "Compan y Daily Mornin g Report," issued with careful instructions. (One copy inclosed. )
They were consolidated daily. ( Book m arks inclosed. ) So much for th e daily camp pa per work, save passes, etc., which we re se nt through the military channe l.
Besid es th e foregoin g, company retnms (quarterl y) , r egim ental r eturn s(quartedy ), company and regim e ntal rPport s of ta!get practice, enlistm ent sheets, disc harges, non -commission ed olficers' warrants and ca reful ly pre pared drill cards, to insure uniformity of inRtruction , have been iss ued. The first quartE> rly returns '"ere made out in camp . (One ro py of eac h blank inclosed. ) Marks me n's and sharpshooter 's certiftcates are like wise in use and much prized.
One copy of the oatb of office, tak en by officers upon accepting their commissions, is li kewise inclosed.
T he Adjutant< and ~ergeant-M11jors were pa in stakin g 11nd hard -working. The only Regim ent a l QuartP.rmas1e r or Commissary r eq uired to perform the duti es of his offi ce was 1st Lie ute nan t James Wright, R Q. M. , of the 5t h Regiment, Geo rgia Cavalry . The su rgeons were exceedin gly a ttentive to th eir duti es and pompt in th e di sc harge o f th em. Col onel N. G . Ge winntr, Surgeon-Ge nP. ra l, G-eorgia Voluntee rs, was un1iring in his efforts. while in cam p, a nd h as clone all in his power to p rom ote the e9.lciency of his de p:trtm ent. Practical inst ruction was given to th e first ai d to th e wound ed in th e fi eld . At th ese lec ,nres, g iven by Ass ista nt ~urgeon H. M. Ha lloc k, U.S. Arm y,. and illustra ted by th{) hos pital corps d etachm ent, all o f the officer~ and noncom lu issionerl office rs, betiides many of th e me n, were presE-nt. Dr. Fra nk 1'. Lincoln, Surgeon, Chatham Artillery, also lectured. The efforts to organize

127
litter bearers d!d not bear the fruit that w~s hoped, although great interest was awa.kened m the field w~rk of the hosp1tal corps. By the next en<"arnpment th1s may te ll. Jt ce1-tamly should. Many a valuable life may thus be saved to the country and State.
The other ac:lm ini strative staff officers were apparently not required to perform many of the duties of their offi ces .
Captain L. H. Kenan, rece ntly appointed Assistant Quartermaster, was exceedmgly courte~m.s to all, ~nd disp layed both judg ment and practica l ~kill in all matters pertamwg to h1s department. Every article turn ed over by him
was OJ? a .suitable form, d~1ly signed , and so in r eiieving property.
'.Yb!le m camp b e obtamed and began the study of the quartermaster and commissary blanks used in t he United ::itates servi ce.
Th e new books iss ued to the various rompani es, etc., were studied carefu ll Y by those con cerned, with the result that afte r two or three days' practire. the sick and mornin g reports were sen t in and compiled easi ly. Before the end of the encampment a large percentage, if not all of th e officers, noncommissioned staff and 1st se rgeants, see med to realize the grave importan ce of th e uniform and accurate methods being introcluced. There was e\idence that the experience of preceding e ncampments had been re membered by many. But for the short term servi ce this would doubtless have been more generally apparent.
ORGANIZATION.
The volunteer troops o[ this State are organized into the Georgia Voluu- teers and the Georgia Volunteers, colored.
Th e organizations co me into 1he S1ate service by sp ecial Acts of incorpora- tion. In th is connection I q uote [rom the report of the able J uclge-Acl vocateGeneral of the State of September 19tb, 1892: "I d esire, however , to again call the attention of the proper authoriti<"S to the many inconsistencies ex isting in our State militia la ws. It is next to impossible for an officer in th e Georgia militia to kn ow his legal duties or obligations; not only do they n eed' codification, but as ttey now stand thev are in many instanc~:;s conflicting, and are badly in need of re vision ; rnany should be repealed, and some of geat necessity should be enacted. As ~et forth in my last r eport, we have regim ents but n o State laws regulatin~ such organizations. The several Aets creating th ese r egiments are n"t umform. If the policy of the State in th e future is to thorou ghl y organize its troops, th e n there s houl d be a ge neral law provided for such organir.ations; eve1y co mpany shou ld be assigned to a batta lion, and every b ttalion, wh en possibl e, to a regim ent, and so assignPd that th ey might have the be nefi t of freq uent battalion and regimental drills, as. well as of association ."
EQUIPMENT.
FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY.
Company E has its arms and equipments in excPllent condition. It will compare fav orably with a ny company of any State in th e U nion. I know of none better.
THIRD REGIMENT-INFANTRY.
Company A was not present. The rifles of Company B were in bad order . They should be sent to tile a rsenal. They came to them so from another o rganization. The rifles of Company C require rebrown ing and n ew sights. Company D, vacancy. Th e rifles of Co mp any E are in ve ry good orde r. The rifl(>S of CoXJpany Fare well bronzed; eq uip.ments in good order. The rifles of Company (J have been in use e igl,t years. The bronzing is perect, but new sights are rPquired. Th e rifles of Company II have bPen in service four yours. 'rhe bronzing is good but th e barrels a re ru tity. New sights a re required . Th e rifles of Company I h ave bee n in the co mpany four years, were turned over to them by another organizatim. The rifles of Company K are

128

'in very !!OOd condition; have been in service three years. They have armory
Case. The app Parance of this regiment is, as a whole, unsatisfactoiy. Thi s is, in
.a manner, due to th e companies being widely scattered over a sweep of about J25 miles, so that th ey can get together only in their encampments. There is little cohesion to th e regim ent. Ca re of arms and eq uipments bad been scarcely thouf.?bt of by a large majority of th e men until last year. Now many appear fair ly well . Company E had the best.

J<'IFTH REGIMENT-CAVALRY.
This regiment cam e to camp dismounted, partly owing to th e limited appropriation, partl y to be able to devote th eir entire time to dismonnted work. Troop K bas been tran sferred to. th e Second Regiment Georgia Yolunteer Infantry since last encan1p ment.
Troops F and G were 110t in camp this ye ar. The ca r bines and ca rt~idge belts, ha versac ks and canteen s were in excel lent .condition. The men seemed to thorou ghly appreciate their value, and wish to k eP p the form er especially , in th e perfect state in which th ey had been received horn the State. Th e military appearance of these troops was marred by diversity of unil'orm. This was more than compen sat ed for by the earnestness with which th e entire command seemed to utilize every moment of th e encam pment and the improvement in soldierly carriage shown by the newer men. Troop A is especiall y commend ed. This regiment is widely scattered, so -that they rarely come together. T he men are stron g, accustomed to horses, and most of th em to camp life and to provide for themselves.

FIRST BATTALION, INFANTRY.
The arms and equipments are in serviceable cond ition. The battalion is in very fair drill and military appearance.

CHATHAM ARTILLERY.

~

Thi s battery came to camp di smounted , brin ging with it one Gatling gun, calibre 45, a nd two old pieces of th e Revolu tionar y war. It is eq uipped otherwise with two old three-inch rifles, twelve sets each of whee l and lead harn ess, carria ges and caissons complete. These were n ot bro nght to c2.mp . Th e men came equipp ed with sabres and belts, forage caps, blue sh irts a nd trousers and canvas leggings. The Gatling gu n was in excellent condition. Th e battery looked well , and shoul d be supplied with better guns. Sabres were very good. The guns were well handl ed.

ATLA.NTA ARTILLERY.

This bagery came to camp dismounted, eq uipped with two three-inch rifles. Impl ements complete. Men arm ed witll sabres, steel scabbards and belts.
Th e guns and carriages in good cond ition. Sabres very good, althou gh many of th e men were in their first year of service. 'l'he service of the gun s was .exceedingly good.

DISCIPLINE.

FIRST REGIMENT, INFANTRY.
'l'he best in th e State. Men prompt in their obse rvances of the respect due to all officers ; they rise, stand at attention and salute as officers approach. Orders are observed and obeyed zpa]onsly, the distinction between officers and men rigidl y obsPrved . No loud or boistrous cond uct allowed or attempted, and quiet in the camp of this regiment was perfect between tattoo and reveille.
THIRD REGIMENT, INFANTRY.
Discipline was generally poor. Cause : the wan t of proper inst ru ction and .distan ce of company stations from each other. Salutes were not generally

129
observed by th e non- commissioned oftkers and men , but th ey seemed to 1ealize in no way the real obj ect of volunteer militia. This r egiment can be made a good one . It rests with the officers.
Some of the m en of one of th e compani es raided a garden , destroying a portion of the crnp. Attention of t he re!!imental co mm a nder was called to it by Colonel Mercer, yet I could not aseertain that any serious notice was taken of the outrage. Sueh thin gs. apart f rom all moral considerati on s, antagonize those who would oth erwi se be fri endl y to th e Sta te militia. That tb e affair was one of th oughtless mischi ef, with no m alice toward th e aggri eved farmer, I have no doubt. That it was not looked upon with favor by a majority of th e regiment I equally be li eve. Thi s could IJe made oue of th e best regiments in the State by m ore study and firmness on th e part of th e offi ce rs and noncommission eEl offi ce rs, a nrl less famili arity in camp and elsewh ere when on dut y or in uniform bet ween th e rank a nd fil e. That thi s is feasible is exemplified in three co mpani es, of whi ch I name Company C
Th ere are a num ber of abl e me n in t he regim ent who can m ak e th emselves felt in it s interest. I like to believe that they will do so durin g the coming year, and frown down th e idea seemingly prevalent among some of the younger members that a Sta te encampm ent is a pi cni c.
The pleasure should be th at of manl y co mpPtiti ou for th e highest place in the estimation of th e b est c iti~ e n s of th e State b y showing th at th ey excel iu solidity of drill , discipline and small-arm pmctice; in ability to rise above the petty rliscomforts and ann oy an ces of camp life, and are reall y prepared for th e defence of t he laws an d li ber ties of th e State and coun t ry . If this feeling cannot be fos tered it woulrl be fa r better to reo rganize on a fo otin g sat isfactory to those who po, sess it. What is thought perfectl y feasible fo r this regiment bas been attain ed by seve ral organi 11ations in th e State.
Several of th e companies ap peared well in ranks on comin g to camp, and all left in a much better drill tha n wh en th ey arrived. Th eir march past th e Governor was excell ent.
ATLAN'r A ARTILLE RY.
Th e di sr:ipline of this organizati on was very good, all Tespectful to th eir superior office rs and non-commissioned office rs, saluting promptly and properly all ::>fficers and obe ying all ord e rs with alacrity.
CHATHA M ARTILLE RY.
Discipline fair. This orl!anization is, I un de rstand, both social and military, all members of the sam e club, and many of th em r elations.
FIFTH REGIMENT- CAVALRY.
Discipline of this command is excell ent. Non- commission ed officers and men observant of eve ry orde r and obeyed th em unhesita tin gly. ThPy were sober and exceedingly orderly in camp, neve r loud a nd boistrous in th eir conduct. They ha ve learned to salute p rope rl y. I have never seen g reater earnestness in work, or work d ue to higher motives than actuated this command.
Notwithstanding th e fact that th e city of Griffin , Ga., is but about threefourths of a mile distant from the camp, with drinkin g saloons on every block, I ne ve r learned of any disturbance in the city cau sed by the troops, noT did I see a drunken man in camp.
GUARD-MOUNTING- GUA RDS AND SENTI NELS
Guard-mountings were p roperly perform ed . The adjutants and seigeantsmajor, after a little instructi on , did th eir d uty very sati sfac torily. 'l'o the officers, non-commissioned offi cers and men, thi s ceremony app eared new. The ceremony, at the tim e the different commands left camp , was a decided improvement. Officers, non-commission ed officers and me n, as a rule, displayed a wish to acquire their duties.
MAny of th e sentinels were on post for th e first t.ime, yet d isplayed a very satisfactory zeal.
Captain 0. T. K enan, Second Regimen t Gearge Volunteer Infantry, had

130

charge of th e instruction oi offi ce rs ancl men in this duty as well as guardmoun tin g. H e certainly labored h ard, giving it his undivid ed ca re and attention, was incessantl y on th e alert to co rrect any mistake, untirin g in visit in g the reli efs day and night, and on th e alert at all tim es to co rrect misapp reh ensions.
Guard duty was don e zealously. Sent inels were always on th e al ert and attentive to their duty, wal ked their pos ts in a soldierl y m a nn er, fll cin g a nd saluti ng in a prope r manne r a nd ri g id ly enfo rci ng their orde rs. Th e
newer men made at times mistakes in wording th eir or ders, b ut almost invariably caught th e spirit of t hem .

TARGET PRACTICE.
With th e exception of a fe w co mpanies, the t roops of this State had neve r had any systematic ta rget practice or in struct ion in poin tin g and aim ing drill , gallery p ractice or th e u se of rifle sights until within th e lllst yellr, but durin g th e past year attention b as bee n ~eri o usl y drawn to thi s importa n t matter.
l fo u nd the sto p bu tt insec ure, bu t this was r emedied sutfi cientl y to set: ur c safety by Lieutena nt Satterl ee a nd Capta in K enan , Quarter maste r .
The practice was co mmenced at once, a nd co ntinued to th e close of t he encampment with consid era ble success. The profit:ienc.v atta ined was prin cipall y d ue to the energy oi Lie utenant s Sa Lte rl Pe and Maul d in , Third A rtill e ry, who bad charge of the in stru ction . Th ey were ce1tainly untirin g in th e ir efl'orts to have every organi zation in camp tho roug hl y in stru eted in 1his ,e ry important duty. They were continu a ll y on tbe ra nge, even in the very hottest wea th er. from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. , except during th e breakfast and dinner h ours. No report was sent to me.

CEREMONIES.

Dress parades were generall y good . The men at first were q uit e un steady ,

but gradually attained some co nfi de nce and d id qnite creditably . Many

officers lacked confid ence, d ue to wan t of practiee, did not p resent s wo rd ,;

ll

properly , failed to drop t be point at th e co mm a nd "an u s." Few n[ th em

~

knew h ow to take a proper pos ition a t th e comm and " parad e-rest," or bo w

to salu te marchin g.

Th ere was a review by the Gove rn or on t he last day, but one of e:tch camp.

On each of th ese occasions the men were perfectly steady during inspection,

and their marching, when passing in rev ie w was very good, preserving

th eir d istance and alignm en t ve ry well. Afte r th e pa rad e th e m en we re

passed in rev iew each evening.

CLOTHING.

Th e unifo rm prescrib ed by th e State, with t he exception of th e but ton ,

is essentiall y t hat of the regular a rm y undress . E ach or~anizati on bas to

provide its own uniform . Many of them h ave not as yet cnanged t he d ress

worn prior to th e adoption by t he State of th e regul ation uniform.

I n the First Regiment of Infantry th e re are th ree patterns. B nt l wo co m-

panies wear th e nrescribed unifo rm. The Third Battali on , the Atlanta

Artille ry a nd t he Ohatham Artillery h ave distin ct unifotms differe nt from t he

regula tion dress. All, howe ver, were very neat and se rviceable. The re main -

ing organizations wore th e prescribed uni form, but with ce rtai n add itions in

the way of orn ame ntal braiding, etc.



All nf th e troops were provided with a fat igue dress, co nsistin g of a blue

flann el shirt, dark jeans trousers and eanvas leggings, which were exceed in gly

serviceable and well adapted to th e climate.

SUBSI STENCE.

There is no separa te. co mmissa ry depa rtme nt in the State. Rations are purch ased for individual compani es by some member of th e company detailed for t hat 'PUrpose, generally called the Company Commissary Sergeant. The 5th Georgia Cavalry was the only exception. The Quar termaster of this organization purchased for the wh ole command . Messi ng was by company, the officers usually having a separate table . During the first ten clays there

131
was an officer's mess established for the commanding offices and his staff, but during the second ten days' encampment no such arrangement was made. Each company brought to camp two colored cooks, generally very good and efficient. . Cooking was done on the stoves furnished by the State . The cooking was good a1d the food varied and abundant. The ration in most cases comprised fresh beef, ham, bacon, chicken, butter, eggs, fresh vegetables, wheat arid corn bread, coffee and mille The State now allows each officer and man seventy-five cents per day for subsubsistence. The complaint of a majority of the companies last year that the allowance was not sufficient, and that thP.y had to make good the deficiency from their own funds is thus met. It is thought that by following the example of the 5th Georgia Cavalry the ration will be found to be ample.
The tents are kept in store at the Capitol under tb~ charge of the Adjutant General. When needed for service th ey are transported to the place of encampment and left on the tent floor ready for pitchingby civilian employees. They are lowered after the de parture by the men ea~h time, so as to give the others practice in tent raising. Each tent was floored, and straw mattref'ses provided for the men. Some of the organizations provided themselves with cots. The company streets contain the same numbe r of tents, hence companies not coming up to the maximum have several tents unoccupied.
POLICE AND SANITARY ARRANGEMENTS.
The police of th e company streets was from beginning to end very good . A great deal of rubbish, paper, lemon peel, etc., was scattered around in th e vicinity of the mess-rooms and kitchens. Tte si nks were disinfected dai ly, lime thrown in the vaults and covered with earth. The companies were pro vided with sufficient utensils for policing their grounds properly. Carts anu wagons were provided to regularly remove rubbish, which was piled and bnrned. The water running from the faucets and bath-houses kept the rear of tbe company mess-houses and sinks continually wet.
ThPre was very little sickness at any time during the encampment. A few men were off duty for a day or two at a time witil temporary ailments, pre"" vai ling disease, diarrhma, due principally to prostration from heat.
The camp was thoroughly inspected each day by the Surgeon, who reported its condition to the commanding officer.
MOBILIZATION, ETc.
'rbere is no transport system owned by the State; it bas to rely on the rai lroads \\rhich, wi t h any degree of promptitude on the part of the officials, is sufficient to concentrate all the troops at any point in the State in forty-eight hours .
To enable the troops to take the field for sixty days they will require OYercoats, haversacks, canteens, tent equipage, camp kettles, mess-pans, axes and handles , h;~tchets and handles, and spades. The percentage of eaeh command that can be relied on for service outside of the State for that period i~ very problematical. I am satisfied , h0wever , that a call would bring out a majority of those ab le to go.
CONCLUSIONS.
lst Lieutenant C. B. Satterlee, 3rd Artillery, Acting Assistant Adjutant and Inspector General of the State, represented the Adjutant-General's Department in camp, and to his indomitable energy is due, in a great measure, the. success of the encampment.
The company officers are in many cases unneeessarily lenient to"wards their men.
They did not correct them at all times when they should hav e done so. Many company officers care too much about being popular with their men . They should be tnore strict. For purposes of discipline and instructi(ln the company is too frequently regarded as the administrative unit. This pradice is harmful in its tendencies and possible result; for should occasion bring 1he regiment or battalion together th e same spirit of independence will asEert

'13~
itself. The term of enlistment (one year ) is entirely too sbo~t. A man ha
not time to become acquainted with even the rudiments of his profession before his term of service expires.
The time allowed each command in camp is too limited, but is .all that can be given as yet. It does not afford sufficient opportunity to instruct men in their various duties, the men rarely doi ng more than one tour of guard duty; the same may be said of the officers and non-commissioned officers.
About the time they begin to understand the nature of the duties required of t hem they have to break camp. There are entirely too many young lads in the ranks, some of them hardly equal to holding the rifle at the shoulder while aiming much less to undergo th e fatigue of a very trifling campaign .
while many of th fl men were quite well set np, a majority were not so. This subject. seems to be receivin g more attention.
There seems to be a fe eling of discontent among the officers a nd men, because of the li ttle interest shown by the State Legislature in foste ring the volunteers. The officers and men have to bear practically all of the exnense attending the maintenance of the several organizations. Some officers have expended from their own resources hundred s of do lla rs for putting their organizations in a presentable shape for certain work.
Attending the annual enca mpment is , outside of the time given to it, a source of expense to every organization in the Sta te . The State appropriates for the cost of transportation to and from camp and seventy-five cents per diem while there. The inte rest displayed by officers and men thro ughout the several co!Dmands \Vas very considerable , the troops were not only willing but really anxious to receive s uch instruction as might be afl'orded them; the proficiency attained was most gratifying and the State fully compensated thereby for the money expended on the encampment.
I have to say th at whil e I sa.w much to criticise in administration , discipline and tactics during the time I spent in camp \Yith the State Volunteers of G-eorgia, when it is considered that th ese troops devote but ten days in a year exclusively to military training and instruction, there is mucn to commend in what they have accomplished. They serve th eir State at a Joss to themseves of time and money, and get very little encouragement from their State government. For their individual labor they are entitled to great praise and all the assistance that can be afl'orded them by the State.
The entire laws of the State relating to the volunteer forc es are being codified by an enthusiastic worker in the ranks. His work should be recognized by the State.
Each company in camp, before its departure, was supplied with a number of targets, ammunition, etc., for use at hom e. while the amount was not what could have been wished , yet it shows a growing appreciation for this work.
Lectures were delivered by Lieutenant Satterlee upon riot duty and administration. These were very carefully thought out.
Lectures were given upon the care of arms, rquipments, management of tentage, etc., drill regulations , articles of war, reconnoitering and field surveying. The attention of officers was call ed to the various instruments and appliances in nse for this purpose, and to the grave importance of being prepared for such duty and for studyi ng expedients for crossing streams, etc.
The following books are now kept in the Adjutant and Inspector General 's Office: Letter (letter-press ); Indorsement and letters sent; Order (letterprebs).
N. B. Letters re.:eived are only briefed and filed. Record of officers and organizations. Index book of officers and organizations. Register of officers visiting the capitol. The books and records of Company E, let Regiment, are very complete and most carefull y kept, and in thorough accord with every other detail of this excellent organization . In the 3d Regiment, the books of Company C, compared favorably with those of Company E, of the 1st. The troops in camp fairly represented the good features and the weak ones of the present military system of the State. A deep interest is being

133
awakened in the welfare of the State militia which ca11not fail to bring needed reforms. Th.e passing sting of thoughtful criticisms from officers who have the honor to be selected to inspect the volunteer encampments cannot fail to be forgotten when causes of them have disappeared in the manly strife for merited praiseand the consciousness of having fairly won H. The examinations now passed by the offieers of the volunteers are very strict and cannot fail to lead to this if their men are true Georgians.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The staff departments should be thoroughly reorganized upon a basis worthy of the State.
The Ajutant-General should receive an edequate salary to enable him to devote his whole time to the duties of his office. A clerk in this department is indispensable, two would be better. The Quartermaster-General has an a~sistant, a commissioned officer, to assist him in his duties and represent him in camp.
The medical department needs reorganization also. A Surgeon-General bas been appointed, but a complete medical department comprising a hospital corp<~ are necessary.
The companies should be organized into regiments or battalions of uniform strength, each regiment or battalion having an equal number of field , staff, and non-commissioned staff officer and each com pany having an equal number of non-commissioned officers and men .
A law should be enacte<l providing for the proper convocation of courtsmartial , punishment of offenders, enforcing sentences and collection of fines.
As a first essential, a careful course of iustruction by commanders, of their subalterns and non-commissioned officers, iu the school of the soldier and company. This should include recitations in drill regulations as well as exercises in the drillroom.
'fbe importance of "setting up " drill should not be overlook<)d . Thorough soldierly bearing is impossi)Jle in troops lacking this instruction. I would recommend that .. very drill be preceded by a few minutes brisk work in setting up exercises. That this can be done has been amply established by the practice elsewhere.
All should be constantly instructed in paragraphs 29 and 485, "Infantry Drill Regulations" until t horoughly understood and practiced with ease. All companies should be required, before the next eocampment is held, to be fairly proficient in the extended order drill. So far as I could judge, this bas hitherto been neglect~d; except in a very few instances. Its importanc'l is vital and is now understood.
The i;:nportance of guard-duty, in any co urse of instruction, does not seem to have been thoroug-hly appreciated. I would suggest careful instruction in "Kennan's Manual, " and in simulated guard-duty in company drillrooms.
Systematic instruction in target practice should be general. The preliminary aiming, pointing and position drills, also gallery practice are practical in any of the company drillrooms. Several companies have shown this practically.
At least two companies, E, of the First .Georgia Infantry, ( Captain J. F. Brooks ) and Macon Hussar~ , Second Georgia Infantry, (Captain 0. T. Kenan) have not only gallery practice in their armories, but simulated individual skirmish practice also; each man, in turn, approaches the target by the commands laid down, take.~ up the double time by command, is halted at, or near, the firing point. Having completed the circuit of the arm ory, he prepares his sight, fires the alloted number of rounds, and at the expiration of the regulation time allowed, rises at co mmand, and goes through the same process_ For retiring he simply faces about, and makes the tour in reYerse direction. He is thus compelled to face about upon halting. A very great interest in this important matter is being awakened. The next encampment will show this, I am convinced.
The recommendations of Captain Lewis Smith, that the" company commander should make reports to their regimental or battalion commander, at least

134

biice a month. oi the condition of their co mpanies; the number of drills had,

the kind of drill; the average attendance at drills, the number. of men e nrolled

a nd . dischar~ed during the month, in fact, everything partaining to their

companies,' have been met to a great extent by the new system of blanks, if

sys.tematically carried out.

-

A trench or dry ditch should be dug in Pear of the bath-honses to carry off ,

the waste water running from them andthe faucets. The bath-houses should

have laticed floors.

Each company should carefully record the number of rifles issued to it.

The State appropriation for the encampment should be sufficient for the

whole force each year.

The efficiency of the staff would be greatl y enhanced by making it non-

political.

The Adjutant-General, Inspector-(1 eneral, Surgeon-General, Inspector of

Rifle Practice, and Assistant Adjutant-General should receive salaries; lik e-

wise the Quartermaster-General.

The Adjutant General should have two efficient clerks. The Quartermas-

ter-General at least one during the encampment and when called into active

service. These clerks should be salaried. Tbe amount allowed the Adjutant

General's Office is, altogether, $700.00 "for fixed expenses only. The office is

seriously handicapped by the lack of money and cleric,tl assistance. The

necessary funds for the purchase of stationery, for postage, and kindred ex-

penses of the Adjutant-General's Office should be granted.

The Adjutant-General , in his ca parity of Inspector-General, or his assistant,

should make inspecting tours to verify the condition of the State troops and

obtain knowledge of their wants upon the spot upon which to base ameliora-

tions suited to develop cohesion and greater efficiency. Money should be a p-

propriated by the State to meet this essential need. As the time available

for such inspections is limited, the Inspector-General should have some

four assistants to be salaried during their trips and to have traveling expenses.

This work could be accomplished in one or two months by such a system.

The r.egi mental and troop medical officers should be transferred to a medi-

cal corps available for assignment, when required; where requ ired.

The non-political Adjutant-General should be appointed for a term of not

less than four years, with a sufficient salary to enable him to devote _his entire _

time to his work as such.

An emergency fund, for the purchase of stores, available for riots, etc.,

should be provided. lf not used to be covered back into the State Treasury.

It should be expended on warrants approved by the Governor.

The artillery companies should be allowed practice at one of the forts sit-

uated on the coast within the State. The expenditure of the neces-

sary ammunition should be approved and the means for procuring it granted.

Details regarding transportation, provision thereof, and a field outfit of the

essential camp and messing tools and utensils, etc., should be at the bead-

quarters of every regiment. The responsibility for the care of this State prop-

erty, etc., should rest with the Regimental-Quartermaster.

The State should provide an armory fund from which to pay the rent of

proper accommodations, until suitable armories shall be provided. This lat-

ter provision must necessarily be granted on account of the expense.

A simple service uniform should be issued to all of its troops by the State.

It should include blankets and overcoats. Nothing but ttis uniform should

be used by the troops when called out by the Governor. Rifle ranges and

facilities for target practice should be provided at each station.

The entire infantry and cavalry force should be reorganized into three bat .

talion regiments of twelve companies of troops each.

The artillery should be formed into a battalion, with a field officf')r to com

and to harmonize its interests. Camps should, eventually, be commanded by a

non-political general officer or recognized ability as a volunteer soldier.

Officers and organizations should be supplied with the authorized manuals

of instruction, with the State regulations and laws governing the volunteer

forces and militia, etc., by the State. The necessary record books should

equally be .a cbarge to the State . . I further earnestly recommend _that the offi-

135

cers detailed by the United State~ for d uty wit~ State troops be given a special

local status by Act of Congress , e1ther by allowwg th em to accept State ranl;s

from the State or, as is don 'l for the s uperintendent and co mm andant at th e

milit.ary acad~my . 'r~at, in.going to th e Sta te to whicl:t they may be a ssig ned

and 1n returmng to thtlJr sta t10ns when th ey shall be relieved , they he allowed

transportation for th eir bagga~P , S'lCh as t hey woul d be e ntitl ed to if chan cring

station. Tha t they b e allowed t he u e of the p enal ty en velopes in th eir "'cor

responden ce, not only with th e Governm ent, but i n carrying on all offidal

corresp o nd en ce.

Finally, th at they. be give n m ount ed pay a nd forage for th e h orses all owed

their grad e. The duty. in camp especially, requires th e offi cer so detai lerl to

be mounted , and his expe nses are greater, far greater, than at h is station .

Also, that this latt e r provis ion appl y to offi cers deta il ed to inspect ca mps, for

similar reaso ns, or tb at they be auth ori7.ed to hire a mount while in camp, un-

less supplied by th e State.

'!'he bayonet scabbards with leather throng should b e replaced by oth ers with

the brass h oo k, so tha t th ey ca n be used on th e woven belt. Such rifl es as

require it should be sent to an arsenal to be rebrowned , fitted with Buffington

sights, and otherwise put in ord e r. Tbis expense Fhould be borne by tbe

State ; but, after so pu ttin g t he m in perfpct co nditi un, th e companies should

be held accountable for all da mage, save th at du e to legitimate wear an d tear.

The men were carefull y instru cted during th e encamp ment bo w to keep th eir

pieces in good form , a nd ca n f ee th a t they a re so kept , even though th e work

be done by a company arm o rer.

Starting with weapons in I!OOd fo rm, th e men co uld no t fail to take more

pride in th e oth er details of the ir equipmen t, and would not ha ve th e hope-

less feelin g incid ent to in equalit~' in th e matter .

Th e State voluntee r, as a co mpensation for th e tim e rlevoted to its service,

should receive some more lastin g benefit th a n t he exemption now given, or

greater so li citud~ fo r hi s we lfa re and greater appreciation of his efforts than

obtain at present.

In closing, I desire to ex press my th a nks to the offi cers of t he Georgia Vol-

unteers, with wh om I cam e in contact, for th eir uniform co urtesy towards me

whil e with th em, for t heir ge nial hospitality and manv acts of kindness.

Very respectfull y,



Your obedient servan t,

G. G. G REENO UG H,

Captain Fourth Artillery.
