REPORT' OF ] EPARTME TAL OFFIOER .
_\T1..\~1.\ G.I., January 1 1 9:!.
Colonel John Mel IIto.h Kelt. _ldjUlanl lind fn .pedol'OPnl'1"lIi lair of G Ol'gia :
COr.O~Elr-] beg to uhmit tbe following in l' ference to tbe D partment of the, tate }IiJitia, over whith 1 bave the honor to pI'> irJ :
There ba been but one General ourt Martial convcn d in the, tate sinc tbe organization of thi department. the proceedin., of which ha\'e been returneu to beadquarters during the year 1 91. Thi was the ourt Martial organized f I' the trial of Captain A. C., 'nead, 'eeond Lieutenant harles Roberts, and Prhate J. 1I. Spilman and D. P. i\l vcrs. The fin lin!!!! of tbe court in each of the ca~ were aJ p'ro\'t~cl by the lTo\' rnor, and with tbe l' cord of I be trials are on file in your otli E', a requiref] by law,
Thi cl",partment has, in addition to the abo\'e, been called upou to l' \'iew the finding' of a R('~imelltal ourt ~la,.tial,orderedby the OolOlwl commanding the 'sintb ,or"ia R O'iment Georgia \'olunteers, in ca.-.e of Captain Geo.
W. " ea\'er, commanding ompany "n" of said regiment. Tbe findings of
thi' court were Ret aside [or everal rea ons, all of wbicb appear of record in your omce, a required hy la\\', together with l' cord of '~id trial.
It bE' 'om ~ my duty to rail th attention of the proper autboritie t the present ('onfu ed condition of the law II w governing the, tHte militia. They are confli ,ting in many in tanceH, and it i extTemely t1iffi 'ult, in their pre nt ('ondition j' I' either tbe officer' or men to know their lei!al obligation. T ,'arne tly recon mend that tbe lien ral A 'embl)', at it next es ion, be l' que, tt'd tbrongh the propel' committee to go through all of tbe numerou conflictin~ se'tion of the 'ode governing tbe militia, and the mauy Act amendatory ther of. and luake the neerlful revi iou of tbe ,arne.
The next mo~t imporl.'lIlt matter n eding attention i tbe present regimental organi7.alion o[ the 'tat. 'Ye bave regiments, hut no law regulating tbem. (JudeI' the recent Aet o[ the L('gi latur such oTganizatioll ar pro] ably constituti nal, but each of tbem lepeurls for it go\'emment upon the pecial .\ct creating them, and theoe ar not uniform, If tb~ polic)' of tbe 'tate i to be change<.l an I the militia forces are to be organiz <l into regiments, theu it ~bould be done under a general law, ju t as battalion bave been ol'ganized heretofore. Taking all tbin/ZR into con ideratioD, I am ali. fied tbat in point of di cipline Georgia's militia will compare favorably with tbat of any date in tbe nion, \ritb tbe laws for tbl'ir government and rontrol 'lear and explicit ol1icers will find 110 difficulty in enfor ing nor men ill obeying tbem.

The blank.' for the annual May inspection of companie reached me jn.t prior to the encampment. The inspections were made while in camp, and the returns \\;11 be forwarded to you when completed. 'fhe lack of arms and eqnipment is most deplorable. 'fhis splendid body of citizen soldiery can nevel reach the standard of efficiency which the State should exact from them, until the tate i ue to them what i. e~sential for the performance of milite'1r~'
serrviinccel.ose you a tabulated statement marked \TIlL;:;' showing what each com-
pany ba and what it needs. That stat"mp,nt . hows that to fully arm and equip the regimeut, it will require addles ],l, , bridles] 1) , pairs saber trap :1H7, sabel. 145, b Its ]90, pi tol 16-l, hoI ters 19-1, carbines :~20, lings 320, pail'. spurs 3iiO.
The 0 t of the e articles i small in compari on witb the ad\'antagc to th .'tate in making thoroughly efficient an organi7.ation locate'] in eight counti".. and, in each, larltely relied on to reinforce the civil authoritie., should occa,ion require.
T submit the-eiut'ereuc s as 'ugge ted by the forl:'going facts. The citi7. n"
"i Georgia are ready to reRpond to the Governor's orders and contribute a

I elected the 26th of Kovember for the practical exerci,'es, becall e of it. bl'ing a holiday (Thanke:giving Day), thus enahling men to lea\'e their usual avocati n, without detriment to tll 'ir bu inc., intere t , and a being the only a\'ailable day in the en on of the year, which, in our climate, i' suitable for the character of thl' work done, The officer,' Hnd men of thi company who participate I in the practice were:
Captain J. F. Brook, Fil t Lieutenant Robert. '. l\Jell, , e ond Lieutenant Rob rt P. Lovell, Foul' 'ergeant, Fi\'e Corporals, Twenty-fi\'e Private '.
.\ number of the men wert' lll1abl to be pre ent ow in.... to tbe failure oj the bu. ine" , bou to observe the holi lay in as goeneral a way a u,ual.
I left the city by tbe Tybee divi. iOIl of th Richmond aud Danville Railroad Company at !l ::~O .\. )1. and arrived at Tyb I land at 10: t5 A. M" di:embarking at Fnrder's Point adjoininf! the 1Jnited ,tate re en'ation, on the northea tern point of th island.
At thi point I had kinni. h. or silhouette target pial' rl in position. The {' taraet were made of cypl'e ::. cnt in hape and size to cOl'I'e. ponel with targets D and E, < ' de crib d in Blunt' "Rifle and Carbin Firina," repr -

.\. range of three hunrlred yards was had to the we tward of the fi!:(lIr S (being the lonae i range attainable), whi h were plac d in front of the sand dune lining the inner edae of the beach. In truction in the setting of the ightand windage, 01' deflection ~l'al , an,1 in e timating distance'. \I'ere given 11 fore the pral'tice.
1'l\"el\'e men were deployed at the thrl'e hundred yard di tance, and they were advanced in quick time to within not Ie s than one hunch' d and fifty yard I' the target. fh'c halts being malle dm'ing the advanl'. Each man wa. assigne 1an individual target, whic;ll wa. uitably marked to enable him to disti nguisb it.
At the bugle signal of 'I halt" each man on the firing line e'timated his di', tance, adjusted hi' sigbt and windage and I aded his piece, b,wing even second 'in which to do this before the" commence fil'ing" sounded, One 'hotwafl fired at each halt, fifteen econd,' being allowed. Tbe retreat was made in double time, with the same number of halts and nndC/' tbe ame condition a' were ou erved in ach-ancing.

At the conclusion of the run the number of hit on the targets WE're scored, and a /lecond squad of twelve men repeated the runs made by the first squad and t.hey were, in turn, followed by a third squad of like number. The runs were again made by each squad. using tile kneeling figures as objectives.

The expense of the practice is sbown in the tatement appended and marked "E" and was paid out ot the Company Fund.
The weather wa very unfavorable [01' the work.

REPORT
OF THE ADJUTANT AND I PE TOR-GE ERAL OF GEORGIA FOR THE YEAR 1 92.
TATE OF GEORGIA, ADJUTANT AND INSPECTOR-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
ATLANTA, September 30, 1892,
To Hi Excellency, 1V. J. Norlhen, Govern01' oj Georgia.-
SIR-I have the honor to sl1bmit the following report of this department for the year ending September 30, Itl92, with accompanYIng papers:
VOLUNTEER FORCE .
The "Georgia Volunteers" remain the same 10 their several
organizations as in my report of last year, with the exception of
the "Piedmont Rifles," Third Regiment Georgia Volunteers,
disbanded by special order o. 10, March 19, 1892, viz.: Four
regiments, three battalions and two independent companies of
infantry; two batteries of artillery and one regiment, and one
battalion of cavalry.
The "Georgia Volunteers, Colored,' remain likewise un-
changed in their organizations, viz.: Three battalions and four
independent companies of infantry, one of artillery, and one of
cavalry.
INSPECTIO .
I am pleased to state that the inspection of Georgia Volunteers and Georgia Volunteers, Colored, by Lieut. C. B. Satterlee, 3d Artillery, U. S. A" Acting As~istant Adjutant and InspectorGeneral, was most thorough and instructive, prompting the military of the State to pur:sue active preparation for entering the State Encampment with credit to themselves and honor to the State.
4
Such instructions were not forgotten but creditably demontrated at the weekly review which your Excellency attended during the live uccessive week of the Encampment.
Lieut. atterlee's tour of in pection commenced on eptember 15,1891, and clo ed April 5th, 1892, a full report of which wa publi hed in pamphlet form, and distributed to each separate command of the tate, a copy of which your Excellency ha een.
I cannot too highly commend for your consideration the at"duous and painstaking work accomplished by Lieut. Satterlee in thi round of ~rvice to the military organizations of the State.
E~CAi\IPi\IENT.
n Act of the General A embly authorizing the 1ilitary Ad-
vi ory Board of this State to select a permanent camp ite to be
u ed for the Annual Encampment and training of the Georgia
Volunteers and for other purpo es, wa approved October 17,
I 91.
.
In accordance with aid _\ct, the Military dvi ory Board met
in thi o~fice on January 15, I '92, and by their in tructions bid
were advertised for, with certain requirement, in the following
paper, viz.: Atlanta Yon.'{itution avannah lIt[oming N, lI"e
~Iacon 'l'clcgl'llph Columbu EIIIlni,'Cl"-, 'UII a.,d Augusta hron-
ie/" for ealed propo 11" in writing, to be delivered at thi office
on or before I _ o'clock, standard time, on February I, I 92, for
aid camping o-round. The right re erved to reject any or all
propo al. On February 17 I '92, the board met in pur uance
to call \ hen the bid were opened, and Grifl'in' bid wa elected
for the permanent encampmenL.
I cannot too heartily commend the citizen of Griffin for their
zealou and arduou work, in the compliance with the require-
ment of the bid pre enting .the camp in readine for the troops
at the time appointed. It wa resolved by the board unanimously
"that in recognition of hi hearty and outspoken friendship (or
the 1ilitary of Georgia in the face of all oppo ition of friend and
foe, that the permanent camp hall be named 'Camp orthen'
in honor of Gov. ,V. J. orthen.'
On the 2+th of May, the camp was formally opened by Col.
George . ~lercer, commanding the Fir t Regiment of Georgia
5
Volunte~rs. The following- i the order 10 which the Georgia
olunteers went into camp:
From May 24 to )lay 31, the Fir t and Fourth Regiments.
From June 7 to June 14, the Second Regiment.
Fr0m June J4 to June 2r, the First, Third and Fourth Bat-
talion , and the Atlanta Artillery.
From June 21 to June 26, the 'l'hird Regiment, Fir t Battalion
Georgia Cavalry, mounted, and the Chatham Artillery.
From July 5 to July 12, the Fifth Regiment Georgia Cavalry,
di mounted.
.
ee appendix report oE the 'everal commanding officer dur-
ing the week oE their encampment.
I take pleasure in reporting to you the valuable services ren-
dered to this State' troops by the officer and men ordered here
on duty during the encampment, by the Hon. Secretary oE War
at your request. s an object lesson in discipline, practical
camp duties and drill in the school oE the soldier, Battery L, 4th
Artillery did good and efficient service.
TARGET PRACTICE.
P to the present year no systematic in truction in target practice ha been had by the troops oE thi State; in fact no sy tem has been prescribed. It was determined, however, that this invaluable part of the practical training of a soldier hould receive attention during the annual encampment. To thi end a carefully prepared cour e (1f practice was devi ed, rules and regulations promulgated, and the necessary material and ammunition procured Erom the general government. The experiment ha been attended with very gratifying re ults. It con tituted the chief attraction of the officers and men attending the encampment. I am Eree to ay that a most important advance has thu been made in the instruction of the Volunteer. The results thu far achieved fully justify, indeed demand, its further regular pro ecuti<in. In this connection, your attention is invited to the full report of the practice by the Inspector-General of Small Arms Practice, which accompanies this report.
I invite your special attention to the reports oE the commanding officers during the week oE their command of " Camp
6
r orthen" which reflects credit upon the volunteer force of the State in their discipline and soldierly bearing as also in their regimental formation, passing in review of your Excellency upon your weekly visits to the camp for inspection and review. The movements showed striking improvement since the last encampment and could not fail to be most gratifying to yourself as commander in chief, having encouraged and fostered the Military of the State by word and action, which they acknowledge and greatly appreciate. In concluding this report, I beg to state in behalf of the Georgia Volunteer the zeal and energy displayed in their readiness to serve the State under all circumstance, during the recent threatened outbreak at the Dade Coal Mine. The military companies nearest the scene of apprehended danger, when notified to be in readiness to serve the State armed and equipped, responded by wire their "readine to move at an hour' notice."
Respectfully submitted,
J TO. Mel TO H KELL,
Adjutant and Inspector-General.

The generous hearted people o[ the city of t,riAin and "icinity lonated 1 :1 acres of land on which' amp ~orthen" i located, and built ther on. nearl" 100 bou e for me hall.. kitchen . bath houses, ink. table, ho pital , etc:.

From a UU, ine ' standpoint, in 111.\' opinion, tbe I'tate could not make a bet
tel' investment than to i"crcase the milit8l'Y appropriation. The benefit 10 hel' troop i~ great, and the protection to her I eople and property beyond calculation. The \'a t improv ,,,ent deriv 'd from tbe pa t two years' en 'ampment
i 0 plain that no fairmind d man will deny it. o-\. larger appropriation i
necessary in orde' that that progr" commellSnl'ate with the pride, 10 ition und usefulne, of the Geoq.,da volunteer 'oldier)' m~IY be accompli. hed.
It i of the greate:st importance that a commi" ionC'd po ition as assi tant to the Quarterma;ter-Gen ral be created b.v the next I gJ latur , with the I'e(lnirement tbat respon. ibility in the, bar of a good and suf1:ioient uond be made ill order that the ~tate's property be safely guan1ed. At pre~ent, aside from integrity, capacity and. busine~ watchfulne, ' , no pecuniary responsibility attaches to the po ition. Said OffiCCl' should. receive a alary ufficient

At few tation of the troop can range of more than t\\'O hondred yards be ecured; fu'ing ther fore at tlu e Ilundred yard mid range and at skirmish, must be done at the encamlment. The requi ite facilitie honld be afforded.
1 belie\'e that it would b injudiciou for the purpo e of widenino the range, to encroach npon th ~1'01lnd betwpen tbe range and camp proper. Th water-works of Griffin ",hicn are located at the outhern entl of the re 'ervation, would thu be brought into danger u proximity to the butL Wild shooting and ricochet. hots cannot always be a\Ooided, particularly in the 'kirmish practice.
Further, to obviate tbe tediou and annoying delays on account of complaints from partie working in the fields back of the reservation, uch lands ,might also be acqnired.

In order to facilitate t~e practic~ and for the protection and pre ervation of
targets and tarj:(et matenal, I earne t1y renew fore the beginning of the eason, tbat an enclo
medyarnedcocmovmeerneddaft.ioran~embaudiledibneg-
be constructed and located in the imme liate vicinity of the pits. In this can
be storE'd the targets in u e and all spare material. :;\luch incoll\-enience and
no little delay wa experienced during the practice on accountof target being
injured and pa ters removed by expo ure to rain.
After each day' work all material honld be housed as a protection a"'ain~t
injury and po sible 10 s from theft.
.A. requUtion for the ne e ary material, ammunition, etc., will be ubmitted
in a eparate communication.
In conclu~ion I desire to testify to the invaluable assistance rendered ov
Lieutenant Ira A. Haynes, Fourth nited, tate Artillery, in the conduct or
the target firing at the en ampment. To him is due in the grcate t measur
whate, rsucce- has been accompli hed.
I would also commend the service of orporal J. H. Kingsley, Battery L,
Fourth United tates Artillery, who was employed as in charge of the marker"
pit. All repairs to the butts and targets were done by him. The marking or
the targets was under his npervision. He proved him elI indispen~a
ble. Corporal Kingsley is a reliable, faithful and efficient non-commi ioned
officer.
Yery re pectIully, your obedient ervant,

Col. J. Mclnto.qh Kell, Adjutant em l Inspector-General, Atlanta, ,a.:
COLo:\EL-I have the honor to ubmit a full report of the work and operation of the annual encampment at Camp Korthen, near Griffin, Georgia, during the period, beginning May A, ] 92, and ending IIay 31, thereafter. In obedience to orders issued from your office, I a Qumed command of Camp Xorthen on May 24,1 92 and i ,ued Order o. 1 for the command and regulation of the camp, said order being attached to thi report.* The troop placed under my command weI' the Fourth Re~ment of Georgia Volunteer.', Col. Elwin L. 'Wight, nine ompanies, and the j<ir t Yolunteer Regimpnt of Georgia, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Reilly, five com~anieQ. I attach hereto-
an official tatemen t,* ~howing the exact n um b I' of ofheel' and men attending
said encampment dm'ing each day of the fir t week. On ~ra.y 24, by an addition to Order o. 1, the following officers of the nited tates army were announced as on the staff of the colonel com man l-
in: aptain Edward Field, Fourth Artillery, a In tructor and uperintendent
of drills in the chool of the Battalion. econd Lieut nant 'Villiam L. Kenly, Jr., Fourth rtillery, as instructor ill
"uard and the dutie of ,entinel . On ~lay 2-th it became nece ary to relieve urgeon 'V. W. Bacon, Fourth
Regiment G-eorgia Volunteers flom hi position as Po turgeon, and Do tOI' Jame G. Hopkin of the same regiment wa appointed in his. tead.
By General Order o. 6, from the Adjutant :feneral' office, Atlanta, datell )Iay 19, 1 92, Fir t LieutenantIra A. Hayne, Fourth Artillery, wasannounc d as in tructor in mall arm practice and acting ignal officer. Owing to the inability of the tat, in conjunction with the p ople of riffin to put the. rifle range in proper condition, no practice in small arm firing could be had during the fir t week, to the very great regret of the troop .
By General Order No.7 from tLe Adjutant General's office, Atlanta, dat c1 1flay 25, Captain Lewis mitb, United 'tate Army, wa announce I a Inspector of the troops at Camp Northen, and 0 much of Gen ral Order Jo.6 a.; appointed Lieut. . B. atterlee, . '. Army, to that po ition was revoked.
aptain mith did not I' ach camp until the end of the week, but as soon as practicable after his arrival order were L ued by the colonel commanding, arId all the companies in caml were in prcted by him, accompanied by tbt, colonel. Under order i ued :May 2 , the several companic of the Fir t an I Fourth Regiments were in pected by the po t commander in their company treets, on the 29th in t., beginning at < :30 A.:\f.
The camp was opened formally at 10 o'clock A. )[. on tbe Uth in t., all the companie being present. At 2 P. :\f. on the same day the troops were reviewed by Governor Northen and staff formed in line of mas es of four battalion of four companie each.

A copy of the order is attached.~
The camp, during the fir t week, was unn ually healthy, and its sanitary condition was excellent. The po t commander upon several personal visit to the hospital found not a ingle patient pre ent. The reports of the post urCleon , which have been called for, will furnish particulars.

The facilitie. for providing upplie for ~he troop were good, and the qual-
ity of the food excellent. ome complarnt was made that the price were
hiaher than prevailed in avannah and th larger citie. The faciliti ,
;afl'orded by the railroa~ in transporting troors to ~nd Lrom the encampment
were of the mo t atLsfactory character. rhe fir t volunteer l' giment of
eOl'gia left avannah by special train about 10 o'clock on the niaht
of the 2,:, 1 and reached camp by 6 next morning, via the line o[ tb

bottom of the hill, where. pectator. could see the parade without blockin up
the ompany treets, and interfCl'in with tpe military mOI-ements. It would
b advantaae us to et back the electric liaht pole furthcr from the cre t of
the hill, and nearer the line of th camp. It would be well to movEI the

HEADQUARTERS SECOND REGntE.'T, GEORGIA VOLUl\TEERS. MACON, GA., JULY 1, 1892.
Col. J. Mcintosh Kell, Adjutant and inspector-General State of Georgia:
COLONEL-I respectfully submit the following report as commanding officer
of Camp orthen from June 7th, 1 92, to June 14th, 1892.
In obedience to General Order o. 5, dated May 7th, 1892, i sued b'om your
office, I as umed command of Camp .. orthen for one week, commencing at
10 o'clock A. M., June 7th, 1892. 'rhe following troops were-designated in
your order for service at said camp during the week: the twelve compa-
nie composing the Second Regiment and the Dubignon Volunteers. Orders
were at. once sent to all the company commanders ordering them to leave
their re pective headquarters for one week ervice at Camp orthen, giving
them full information as to tran portation, the time of leaving home, arriv-
in~ at and leaving Macon, and all other information that wa necessary.
vrders were issued dividing the Second Regiment, Georgia '\ olunteers~
into three battalions, as follows:
First Battalion--MajorR. . Holtzclaw, commanding.
Company E. (Putnam Rifles.)
Company G. (Columbus Guards.)
Company H. (Baldwin BlueiJ.)
Company K. (Quitman Guards.)
Second Battalion-Capt. J. L. Hardeman, commanding.
Company C. (Floyd Rifles.)
Company B. ~Macon Volunteer .)
Company F. Southern Cadets.)
Company A. Macon Light Infantry.)
.
Third Battalion-Capt. W. C. Davis, commandino
Company 1. (Perry Rifles.)
Company L. (Americus LIght Infantry.)
Company D. (palding Greys.)
Company M. (Ea tman Volunteers.)
These divisions were maintained throuj!;hout the week's encampment, Lieu-
tenant Colonel E. D. Huguenin being in immediate command of the Regiment.
The Perry Rifles, Putnam Rifles, Baldwin Blues, and Americus Light Infan-
try, in obedience, to orders, reported promptly in Macon at 7 o'clock A. 1[.,
June 7th, 1892, and then formiug a solid train. left by the Central Railroad of
Georgia for Griffin at 7:15 A. 1[., topping at Forsyth for the Quitman Guards:
The Macon Volunteers, Floyd Rifles, )Iacon Light Infantry and outhern
Cadets reported promptly according to order at the East Tenn., Va. & Ga.
Railroad depot at Macon, Ga., where they were joined by the Ea tman Vol-
unteers, and left at 7 A. M., June 7th, for Griffin. That portion of the com-
mand going by the Central Railroad of Georgia was placed under the com-
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Huguenin, and the companies going bv the East
Tenn., Va. &Ga. Railroad were under the command of Capt. J. L. Hardeman,
of Company C (Floyd Rifles). The Columbus Guard were transported to
camp by the Georgia Midland Railroad, and the palding Greys, headquar-
ters at Griffin, Ga., marched from their armory to camp. The entire com-
mand were in camp before 10 o'clock A. M., June 7th.
The Dubignon Volunteers did not report for duty. I sent orders to the cap-
tain of said company and made all the arrangements for transportation, but
did not hear anything from the companr command~ until the evening of the
6th of June, on which date I received a Jetter from the commanding officer of
said r.ompany informing me that he would not carry his command into camp.
I attach a copy of his letter to this report.*
Immediately after we reached camp the battalions were assigned quarters,
the battalion commanders assigning each company. All officers and men
went heartily to work arranging their tents, e'tc., preparing for the week's
service. At 4 o'clock P. M., 7th June, guard mounting was ordered, after-

which entinels were placed al'ound the entire camp. At Cv'clock P. ~[. dre
parade took place, and the fi rst Il;eneral orders read, a copy of which is attached
as a part of this report. I also annex all other orders issued by me as Po t.
Commander.'"
I have the honor to call your attention to the mornin~ reports of Dr. . G
Gewinner, urgeon of the econd Regiment, Georgia Volunteers and to hi'
ick reports ending 13th of June, 1892. Also to Meteorological Register fur-
nished by him for the week; also invent.ory of drugs and other property in the
hospital on June 13th, at 4 o'clock P. M., at the time of breaking camp. Too
much praise cannot be given thi faithful officer. He was ever ready to serve
the sick night or day, and constantly working to keep the camp in a healthy
condition. I forward all of the above named reports of urgeon Gewinner with
this report.-
There is no regularly organized hospital corps attached to tbe econd Reo-

of Sergeants W. (two splendid
T. forgan of Co~ apothecaries, who
were detailed as hospital steward ), organized a very efficient corps for
the week' encampment from details for service at the hospital made from
the various commands.
For information in regard to the strength of my command during the week,
I respectfully refer you to 'he report as furnished by Lieutenant J. P. Ros ,
djutant of Second Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, to Lieutenant C. B. atter-
lee, Post-Adjutant, a copy of which report is herein annexed.-
HEALTH OF THr; CAliP.
I con ider the location of Camp Northen as remarkably healthy, as will be een from the report prepared by my Regimental urgeon.
UPPLIE
I think the facilities for providing supplies for the soldiers are full and ample. My command had no trouble whatever in securing all that was nece ary, or that they desired.
TRAN PORTATION.
The railroads transported the troops of my command from their re pecti\'e headquarters to Camp orthen with entire satisfaction to both officers and men; and by arrangements mada by Lieut. Geo. W. Duncan, Regimental Quarterma tel', the trains were in waiting at the hour of breaking camp, and left on time, and all reached home safely and in due time.
THE CAMP.
The arrangement and equipment of the Calllp for health and comfort was an improvoment over that of last year, which fact wa gratifying both to officers and men. However, there i till room for great improvement; but I deem specific ugge tions from me unnecessary, a members of the Advisory Board are doubtles already advised by actual service at Camp orthen, of the reme diable defects, and will gi ve them proper attention in due time.
WEATHER.
The weather was as favorable as could be reasonably expected. The nights were quite pleasant. The days were very warm, as is to be expected of middle Georgia June days though not unbearably hot. A heavy rain in the early afternoon of June the th cooled the atmo phere and settled the dust, much to the comfort of the camp, while it did not interfere with the daily routine of camp duties, except in preventing the company drills at 4 o'clock P. M.
CAMP DUTIES ~'f.D CEREMOKIES.
All camp duties and ceremonies, as prescribed in paragraph 9 of Orders o. 1, were punctually and faithfully carried out each day, except as to company drills on Wednesday, which were prevented by rains as before stated
Omitted from printed report.
56
The troop were reviewed by Governor _~orthen on Friday, June 10th, at 5 o'clock P.)r.
.lllrelicriou ceremonie were conducted under the supervi ion of Rev. J. J. IIyman, haplain of the econd R giment, and in his noble work he wa ably ai led by various ompany Chaplain. I take plea m'e in referring to th zeal with which Lieut. Hyman and hi co-laborers mini tered to the ick and watched after the piritual welfare of the camp.
Religious ervices were had in camp each nicrht at yariou company headquarters, and on ''tlllday afternoon at Camp Headquartel~, Rev. A, B. Campbell, D. D., 'haplain of Company L (Americu Light Infantry), preached to a lar"'e congrcgation compo ed of a majority of the regiment and many ladie_ anti aentfemen of Griffin, together with vi itors from other part of the ,,tate.
RIFLE PR..\CTI E.
The important benefit which would hav re 111ted to the .,econd Regiment from rifle practi e were not obtained becal1 e of the incompletene~ of the rifle range, which made it II e Jangeroll to the citizen of the urroundin cr country anllnece.. itated disuse.
I
'1'0 the .jgnal ability and indu try of apt. Edward Field, Fourth Artillery, Captain Lewi. ,'mith, Tbird Artillery, First Lieut. C. B. atterlee, Third AI" tillery, First Lieut. Ira A. Haynes, Fomth Artillery, Second Lieut. Chas. D. Palmer, Fom-tb Artillery, and econd Lieut. Wm. L. Kenly, Jr., Fourth Artill ry, . . Army, much is due for tberapid improvement of the troops, and to the e courteous gentleman and con cientious officer belongs, in large mea ure, the honor of making the camp successful. The State of Georgia and bel' citizen soldiery were fortunate indeed in securing their services for the purpose of in truction at Camp orthen.
Tbat was a happy idea to have Capt. Field's company of regulars encamped with the volunteers; and the wisdom of the conception wa demon b'ated by the great good resulting to the militia by. the object lesson thus afforded.
:RESl:LT
With pleasm-able pride I atte t the de\'otion to duty of officers and men of the econd Reaiment while encamped at Camp Northen. Good order preYaile 1 in camp during the entire week, nota single willful violation of order being reported. The heerful spontaneity with which orders and camp regulation were ob erYecl, aud dutie , at all time exactincr and often onerou , were per formed, wa e pecially noticeable and gratifying.
The opportunitie afforded by the week's service were con cientiou ly improved, and that military courte y and di cipline which i e ential to the llroper reception of military in truction pre\'ailed. It is not astoni hing. therefore, that the improvement in general efficiency in all the commands was marked and rapid.
La t my pride in my command may becret in mc an unconscious partiality, which might lead me Oil to too great length in this cl'iticism of their gallant condu t, I will leave it to the army OffiC61 detailed for that purpose, to ubmit a fuller report on this line. This much, howe\'er, I will add: Tbe beba\;or of the troops in Camp orthen and he beneficial results of the ervice tbere, if Itenerally known, could not fail to crystallize into com'iction that /-(rowing, healthy entiment among our fellow citizen that the tate bould ub tantially cheri. h her patriotic \'olunteer soldiery, and that the outlay for the an nual encampment is a wise and conomical investment of the people'. money for the peopl' good.

Jnstcad of a camp guard [rom ea h battalion, I determined to baye a gen-
eral camp guard o[ one field .officer of the day, with three officers of the
f!uard, one froUl each batt.1.lion three ergeants, nine corporals and forty-
Ji\"e private.; and e tabli hed fifteen posts, forming a chain ot entrie
around the ntire camp, detailing h'om the everal battalion according to
their strength, re pecti'-ely. Ther were three guard tent, nllmbered 1'0-

each officer of the detail from

igned were
to hifl rekept epa-
rate, and at the salI e time the guard mounting were made more impre' ive,
and the in truction in the same was more onden ed, than with three ep
.arat Cluard mountings. Th re pon ibility, al 0, of the camp guard was
centered in the field officer of the day, in uring, in my judgment, better
discipline. The said order 1 re cribed a trict ob ermnce of military discip-
line th prohibition of the u c of intoxicating liquors, the ob ervance of
military courte y and of proper salute to the color, the ob ervance o[ reglllar

company commander and the consolidation of same at battalion headquartel and the transmis ion thereof to post-headquarter, the hours of regular trumpet signals for roll-calls, and in addition thereto a check-roIl-call at 11 0' clock P. M., made by the first sergeant of each company, who was required to yi it each tent occupied by the men of his company and a certain their ab ence 01' presence, reporting the result of such check roll-call to the company commander; the designation of Capt. Lewi mith a Inspecting Officer and the requirement of battalion and company commanders and post surgeon to be always ready to receive him, and finally the details of target practice.
I found the target practice had been discontinued on account of the alleged danger resulting from stray balls, it being l' ported by persons living near the encampment that the range was not so laid out as to protect life and property in the vicinity beyond the butts. During the first day of the encampment I proceeded to Griffin, accompanied by Lieut. Col. Calhoun, Lieutenants Satterlee and Haynes and gained an interview with the proper authoritie ,and succeeded in having the county chain-gang as igned to do proper work upon tbe range, so that the target-practice began the following day and proceeded in regular course until completed.
I append hereto, marked Exhibit B,* a detailed statement showin the strength of officer, eulisted men, cook , hostlers, and hor"es at camp during aid week, showing the numbers respectively of each battalion, and of the Atlanta Artillery, upon each day. The largest number in camp on any oue day of officers and enlisted men, excludiug cooks and ho tiers, was 420.
The camp is well situated, its healthf lness excellent, its sanitary condition good, and the water remarkably pure.
I append hereto, marked Exhibit C, 1, 2 and 3,':1> the reports of the Post- urgeon, by which it will be ob erved that ev nty-five (75) ca es are reported by him as having been in the ho pital or under hi care from all causes, durinlr said week, including officers, enlisted men, cook and hostlers; all returned to duty during that time. The Po t-SurU'eon report ,that" Intestinal trouble were most prevalent, due to improper diet. green fruit, indigestible food, etc. There were a number of men overcome by the heat due to the very warm weather. The water is excellent. The drainage of the camp is perfect. The hygienic condition of the camp i very good. 'rhe bo pital building leak very badly and was of con iderable inconvenience while patients were confined to their beds." He further reports that the value of ho pital stor on hand at the end of the said week wa 24.75 and that he purcha ed durin!>' said week drugs to the amount of 7.2, included in the above. He inspected the camp daily, reporting to headquarter the condition in detail. pon these reports and my own personal inspection, frequently made without notice, I acted in cau. inlr the camp and surroundings to be kept constantly and uniformly clean. The weather was very hot until the rain- torm of Friday afternoon, the 17th of June, which reduced the tf-'mperatnre, and thereafter it was pleasant. The ni~bt were generally cool, the du t was extremely di a reeable on the color hne and the prevailing wind blew it in amongst the tent. This resulted in a large part from the roadway along the edge of the camp. There was very little dew. It is to be remarked that there was no serious sickness in camp; that the heat and du t were the principal causes of sickne , the men being unused to such violeut exerci es 9 they were called on to perform. It will be further noticed by reference to the Po t-Surgeon's repurt that on the 14th, the first day of camp, the exercise being light, only seycn (7) were on the sick-list, most of them only for a few hours; that on the 15th, twenty-eight (2 ) were on the ick list, mo t of whom were on duty the next day; that on the 16th, seven (7) were on the sick-Ii t, nearly all of whom suffered from heat and returned to duty th.e uext morning; that on the 17tb, when the heat was the greatest, culminating in the rain-storm of that aft~r noon, eighteen (18) were on the sick-HRt, most of whom were on duty agalll the same day and the next morning; that on the 1 th, only nine (9) were l'f;lported sick; that on the 19th, six were reported, and on the 20th, none. TIll analysis shows: that on the 14th, 15th and 16th forty-two (42) men were on the sick list, while on the 17th, 18th and 19th there were thirty-three (33), and
'"Omitted from printed report.
59
on the 20th, none; or to express it otherwise, on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th there were sixty (60) on the sick-list, an average of fifteen (15) per day, while on the 1 th,l9th and 20th there were fifteen (15), an average of five (5) perday, indicating that the men were becoming enured to hardship and were learninU" to take care of themselves in the field.
The facilities for providing snpplie for the troops and afforded by the railroads in transporting troops to and from the encampment, were excellent and could not be improved upon within the limits of the tate. There was every disposition on the part of the merchants and people of Griffin and the vicinity to accommodate in every po_ ible way the admini tration of the camp, including the matter of food and general camp upplies, tbe prices of which were reasonable, no case of extortion corning under my observation; the food for the troops was very good. The fruit season had not fully opened and the men, unfortunately for themselves, and against the advice of their officers, indulged in unripe peaches and otber fruit, thus causing in many instance derangement of the bOWels and temporary sickness, aided in large part, as beforestated, by tbe excessive heat.
The discipline of the camp was very good. The as emblage at drill and parades was cheerful and prompt and the improvement of toe various commands in every department was marked and gratifying.
The officers in command of the various bodies of troops of Georgia volunteers were as follows:
Lieutenant-Colonel I. . Levy, commanding First Battalion, composed of: Company A-Irwin Guard. Company B--Clarke Light Infantry. .Company C-Clincb Rifle . Company D-Oglethorpe Infantry. Company E-Burke Light Infantry. Lieutenant-Colonel W. L. Calhoun, commanding Fourth Battalion, composed of: Company A-Atlanta Zouave. Company B-Gate City Guard. Company C-Grady Cadets. Company D-A tlanta Rifles. Captain John Reilly, commanding Third Battalion, compo ed of: Companies .A, Band C- 'avannah olunteer Guards. And Captain A. M. Perkerson, commanding Atlanta Artillery. Tbese officers were unfailing in their attention to duty, supporting tbe postcommander in every instance of camp administration capably and zealou ly. An order to any of them had only to be communicated to be instantly obeyed. The Atlanta .Artillery were without gUDS and armed with sabers. They were within camp lines, were not required to do sentry duty around camp, but were required to maintain a rellular guard over tbepieces of artillery attached to tbe camp whicb wa u ed by them in the drill of the piece, and which was admirably erved by them in firin~ the evening gun, ancI also in firing the salute to the Governor, on Friday, toe 17th inst. Tbe distinctions between officers and men were strictly and carefully oberved, throughout the camp; all infractions of discipline were promptly punished, and no in tance of insubordination were evinced. On unday nigbt, the 19th instant, a large number of pas e was i ued to the men permitting them to ~o to Griffin. It being reported to me by Captain Jackson, of the First Battalion, Field Officer of the day, that he had been informed that quite a number of men from the Fourth Battalion intended to te t the sentinels, after taps, upon their return from Griffin, by trying to cro.s the line, I ordered a special picket detail from each of tbe battalions, consi ting of picked men, volunteers preferred, to report to the field officer of the day at the flag-pole at 10 o'clock, eacb under the command of a sergeant. The detail from the Third Battalion was placed in rear of the camp, on the tarO'et range known as detail number one, and details numbers two and three were placed on the front line. The men on guard, not on duty, were al 0 ordered not to retire to the guard-tent, but to be on tbe alert. Mo t of the men who had gone to Griffin on passes came into camp quietly and retired to their tents. me, however, came in a body to the center of the camp, and formed them-
60
elve t O'ether a if to break the line. They were captured 1y the picket,
brought mto th line ordered to their tents and their llame taken down by
tlJ ir commanding officer' for future punishment. I cannot peak in too high
term' of the kill and zeal shown by the field officer of the day, the thr e offi-
'et of the guard, by the entire O'uard and by the picket upon thi occa ion
in maintaining; the di cipline an integl'ity of the camp. The picket from th
Fourth Battalion was entirely from that very excellent company, the" Gate
City uard,' and they did equally g;ood ervice, with th a imiTable detail
from the Fil t and Third Battalion. Lieutenant W. L. Calhoun ably a i ted
me upon thi occa ion in taking charg of the men of hi command, brought
int camp and in giving propel' dir ctions as to their puni. hment. The. e
Il1 r; may have thought that on th la t night of the encampment, after a w ek
of bard work, "'ood order aud discipline they could enjoy them elve by ru h-
in!! to th ir b d_ in a body, reO'ardle of the entinel. If they had n ceded
it would have been injurion to di ciplin ,and would have Jeft a blot upon
the en ampment.
I am satisfied that the officer of the dilferent commands in camp agre with
me that the practical re ult. attained by the troop was va tly beneficial, and
that the effect of the encampment will be important and lasting upon the com-
mand which participated. fficer and men learned the Ie. on of practical
:en'ice, and marched from the encampment to their re. pective home., f'l11 of
pride in the con cion nes of duty well performed, and of mulation, in bet-
tering t?eir military condition for the fntur. That the 'tate will proHt
thereby 1 uudoubte 1.
On the 17th of June, hi Excellency the Governor of the tat, visiter! the
camp. Order Xo. , dated June 16th, i appended hereto, marked "Exhibit
D, , ,1> relating to his vi it and in pection. The :i-o\'ernor, accompanied by hi~
"Htaff, arrived on the 0l'ound at 4 P. )1. autl wa received with a alute of even-

ately proc eded to maKC a thorough in pection of th conditiOll of the camp,
company ground: and quarter" kitchen, ink, hootinO',range and all the
. urroundin<>s. At 4:30 P. ll. the troop were formed on the general parad
wh l' they were re\'iewed by him. After which the dre parade followed.
This vi it of Governor Xorthem had '1 fine and timulatin<> effect upon the
tli er and men. Th y recoO'uiz d in bim tbeir 'ommander-in-cbi f in fa t

There i a larg amount of work to b done upon the camp ground at Trif-

To the Adjutant and Inspector-Gcn ral, tate of Geargia :
IR-In obedience to in tructiolls from your office, I took command of th Georgia Volunteer who reported for duty at 'amp .Northen for the week beginning June 21,1 92.
The following command were in camp: The Third Regiment, Georgia Volunteer, compo ed of : Company A-Captain P. G. Autrey, 3 officer, 0 men; LaGrange. Company B- aptain P. G. Byrd, 3 officer, 2 men; Rome. Company G- aptain Edward Youn a , 3 officer, 33 men; Greenesboro. Company E- aptain J. E. odfreY,3 officer, 31 :nen ; Madi~on.
ompany F- aptain ,Yo B. AdamQ , 3 officers, 31 m n; Elberton. Company G- aptain E. H. Almand, 4 officers, 33 men; Conyer. Company H- aptain L. D. ledge, 3 officers, 30 men; Atben .
ompany Ir-Captain herry 1IcAllley, -! officer, 23 men; Dalton. ompany K- aptain J. R. Herring, 3 officers, 3-1 men; ewnan. The First Battalion, Georgia Cavalry, Lieui nanl- olonel John W. lark, ommanding, -1 troop : Troop A- aptain A. J. Twigg, officer, 34 men; A ugu tao 'I'roop B-Captain J. A. Miller, -1 officers, 29 men j tlanta. Troop -Captain J. 11. Barnard, -lofficers, 31 men; LaGrange. Troop D-Captain J. '. Clark, 3 officer, 26 men; ataula. The Chatham Artillery, Lieutenant R. F. Harmon, 3 officer, 27 men, Savannah. Both officer and men had unu ually good advantage for learning. It i my candid opinion that thenumber of army officer at amp Northen was, in some re pects detrimental to tbe t,'oop. I do not mean to intimate that the e officer did not discbar~ethe dutie a igned them in the different departments. They gave in tructlOn gladly and promptly at all times. I fear
62
that the volunteer officers and men did not depend on their own exertions and study as much as they should have done. However, they were by no means careless or indifferent and they left camp with a better knowledge of military tban they had when they came.
One great trouble with us every year is that so many new men enter camp. Terms of enlistment expire and many of the old soldiers do not re-enlist. I think that the term of enlistment is too short, and believe that two years at least should be the term.
Guard mounting for the Cavalry Battalion was held separate from the Infanll")'. This battalion was drilled in the schools of the troop and squadron, and was given invaluable assistance by the army officers, as were the infantry .and artillery, and its progress was good.
'fbe Chatham Artillery brought only its Gatling gun into camp, not havin~ been properly equipped by the State. They were required to guard their own quarters, and to appear on dress parade and review with the infantry and -cavalry.
As Commander of the camp, I took cbarge of the whole and placed Lieutenant-Colonel Goodloe H. Yancey in command of the Third Regiment. Major Smith, of the Third Regiment, was in camp but one day, and Captain -Godfrey, of Company E, was placed in command of his battalion, while Major 'Guinn had charge of his own battalion.
Lieutenant Satterlee was, I think, the hardest worked man in camp. He seems to be capable of any amount of work. His labors on the rifle range were continuous and severe. He was painstaking with the men, aud his labors and instruction will be feit for many years to come. The men left camp with a 'knowledge of their arms that they did not before possess. .
The progress of all the troops was satisfactory. I enclose berewith the orders issued by me, and tbe surgeon's report.*
The railroads ~ave tbe troops courteous treatment, save in one instance. Rev. Jobn B. Ronins, Chaplain of the Third Regiment, presented bis transportation paper signed by the Quartermaster-General and countersigned by myself to tbe agent of the Central Railroad, but was refused a ticket. He paid his fare and came to camp.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I recommend that in future encampments each company have its separate
sink.
Tbe hospital building should be re-covered. I went there during a rain-
storm and found the whole building flooded. There was hro:dly a space ten
feet square that was not directly under a leak. The same was true of a num-
ber of mess balls.
The captains all report to me tbat the per diem allowed the men is too
small.
I recommend, and I make this recommendation after thoroughly investi-
gating the matter, that each company hereafter bring its supplies from home.
Captains Field and Smith, and Lieutenants Satterlee, Haynes, Palmer and
Kenly of the United States Army are entitled to our thanks for their valuable
presence and work.
.
Very respectfully,
WILLIA~I F. JONES,
Colonel Third Regiment Georgia Volunteers.

HEADQUARTERS FIFTH REGIMENT GEORGIA CAVALRY,
SAVANNAH, GA., July 21, 1892.
'Colonel John MeT. Kell, Adjutant and Inspector-General, Allanta, Ga.:
SIR-In accordance with your Order No.5, detailing the Fifth Regiment of 'Georgia Cavalry for duty at Camp Northen, from the 5th to the 12th of July, inclusive, I issued June 16th, Order No.8 (marked 1),11> to prepare for this duty, and 1st of Julv Order No.]2 (marked II), as to discipline en 1'Oute and in camp, and announcmg the troops that would compose each of the three squadrons and their officers.
MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
Troop I left Jesup at 10.45 A. M. on the 4th of July by the East Tenn., Va. & Ga. R R, and reached Camp Northen at 10 P. M. Returning it left the siding near camp at 6 l'. 1\[. 11th July, by the same railroad, and reached Jesup about 5 A. 1\1. July 12th.
Troop E left Johnston's at 6.30 P. lI., and Troop B left McIntosh at 7 P. 1\[, 4th July, by S. F. & W. Ry., reached Savannah about 8.30 P. M. and marched to Central Railroad depot.
These troops and Troop A left Savannah by special train of Central Railroad at 9.3C P. M.
At 10.30 ]'. M. cars with Troop C were attached to this train at Guyton. At 11 and 11.30 P. M. cars with Troop D were attached at Halcyondale and Rocky Ford. Troop H left Waynesboro at 10 P. M. by Central Railroad and their cars weI' attacbed to tbe above special train at Millen. 'At 3.30 A. M. July 5th, cars with Troop K were attached to said train aL Macon. This special train reached Griffin at 6.30 A. M. July 5th, was transfel'l'ed to track of Georgia Midland Railroad; and the troops disembarked at the siding near tbe camp about 7 A. M. Returning the seven troops above named left said siding at 6.30 P. 1\[, lltl1 July, and Griffin at 7 p. M. by sj?ecial train of Central Railroad, and disembarked at their respective depots, Troops A, Band E reachin~ Savannah about 6 A. M. 12th of July. 'froop A escorted Troops Band E to the S. F. & W.

From Brunswick, Troop G reached Darien by steamer" Hesse" at 12 M. July 12th.
RAILROADS.
The railroads did all they could for the convenience and comfort of th troops in going to and returning from tbis encampment, in like manner as they did in 1891, when this regiment camped at Savannah, and in 1890 when four troops of the regiment camped at Augusta. One passenger and one baggage cro,' was devoted exclusively to the use of each troop, and such troops as chose to pay extra were provided with sleeping cars instead of ordinary day coaches.
In 1890 and ]891 when the troops carried theil' borses to camp, the railroads supplied two stock cars for each troop, and allowed two grooms to accompany ,each stock car without charge.
The hours for loading and unloading cars, and for the departure and al'l'ival

FFICI,HS A:-ID )lEN.
I send herewith copy of each day's morning report (marked rn);"' ~iving the
number of ofticel's and men in camp, and T be!! LO call attention to the ;.:eal and efHcicncy of Lieutenant A. B. Lawton, Jr., Adjutant, and Albert D. Akin, Sergeant-Major, of this regiment. To I,ieutenant Lawton's untiring e{forts, for weeks before the encampment began, was due tbe completeness of thearrangement for transportation, for tent equipage, and for the supplies of leggins and shirts, which added so much to tbe com[ol't and appearance of tIl(' regiment, In camp, the work in his department was well done; bis own duties promptly and thorou!l'hly discharged, and in addition thereto be was indefatigable in acq uiring inlOrmation that could be of value to citi;.:en soldiery.
1 ) 1 1 ' .
The location is well adapted by nature for a camp of about eight hundred men.
From neal' tbe garrison flag-staff to tbe spring soutb of tbe camp, the ~rouud is not suitable for tents, because, evon with moderate rains, streams of water (Jow under almost all of tbe company tents, and over the floors of some of them.
From the flag-staff towards tbe nortb, I the ground is suitable, with street mnlling east and west, for tbe tents of eight companies.
The bigbest part of tbe State's land is a ridge, extending from the bospital in an easterly direction.
'l'bere is suOicient space, with tbe streets running north and south, for tb tents and buildings (including stables) of ten 01' twelve companies.
The drainage from tbe baths, sinks and stables of tlJiH location would b northward and eastward, and could not possibly reach or afl'cct tbe spring [rom wbich the camp and the city of Grifliu receive their drinkinl; water. 'l'he climate aud the water are beatblul for soldiers from every part 01 the State.
For other details as to' tbe health of the command, 1 respeetrully refer to tbe report of Ueutenant C. N. Brandt, Regimental Surgeon (marked IY).<; HenL herewith.
The arrangements for tbe J'('mOI'al of slops and rcfuse were inadequate. Unless impro"ed in subsequent encampments it will be impossible to maintain bealth.
The Quartermaster's department should be a110weu at lea~t one two-mull' wagon and two one-mule wagons, with their drivers, to he useu for this and for other necessary work evcry day, and all day long while troops are in camp.
It would be an advantage if till' representative in camp of the Quartermaster-General was a commissioned oflicer. As there is no pay nor emolument attached to the position, the military law of the State might be amended and the Quartermaster-General be allowed one or morc _\ssistant Quartertnasters witb the rank of captain 01' first Lieutenant.
su I'PJ,JES.
Tbe fertile and bighly cultivated country aronnd GraHn provide<l abundant supplies of vegetables, fl'uiL, milk, eggs, etc., at reasonable prices. Beef anu bread of good quality and at fair prices was delivered daily 1>y local contractors. Ice was delivered at the camp three times a day from tbe local factory.
roceries and staple articles were purchased from the mercbants of Griffin l' elsewhere, who offered each article at cheapest price. .\.ll tbe Iood was purchased by tbe Regimental Commissary at wbolesale prices, and for cash on (lelivery. It was issued daily to the troop commissaries and each item charged at actual cost. At the end of tbe encampment an account Clll'l'ent was rendered ~ch troop of their entire pUl'chases. In tbis connection, I beg to call special attention to Lieutenant James K Wrigbt, who performed the duties of Commissary-Po B. Smitb absent (sick)

aB well as hi:; own unties as Uuartermastel', Lieutenaut 'Wright's duties began
belore the troops 1el:t aud coutinued after tlley l'etumed home, and occupied his entire time for [oulteen days,
Commissary Sergeant William Hunter and others were invaluable assistants,
but tbe responsibility and the direction of affairs rested entirely on. Lieutenant Wright, An upright, sagacious and success[ul busiuess mau, he couductcll
both Quartermaster and Commissary departments on business principles, aud made a success o( them. Ilis hi~hest praise was the effort to traduce bim made by those wbo wanted him to pay tbem bigher prices for articles needcd for the re~iment than h(' conld bu\' the same articles for from othl'ls.

The numbcr 1)[ men availabil' made it undcslI'able to maintain separate ~uards for eaeh sqnadron, AII contributed to one regimcntal gUal'd, with headquarters Ilcar the main entmnl'O to tlte camp. 'l'his gUlu'd supp!iC'd
all the sentinels. Troops with only twcnty-tivll enlisted mfln prcsent,O[ whom eight were
usually uon-commissioned o!licers, orten found it diiIicult to furnish privates
for thc various details of guard and other camp duties without working them
too [requently. 'fhis difficulty was increascd by the habit prevailing among troop commanderH of using privates as troop commissaries, bospital stewards,
lind (or other specinl duties, which excuscd the indivirlnals from the usual dllties of primtes, except drills,
tk
[DUILLS.
'l'!'Oops II, B Hnd (; wcre arUled with carbines and sabres. 'froop I bad carbines only. During the encampment, Lieutenant i'Sattel'!ev, ~\ssistant Adjutant-Genel'al of the Rt:ctte, went to Atlanta and obtained sabres for Troop 1. Troops F, A and K were armcd witb carbin('s and sabre~. Troops D, C and E were armed with sabres only. Witb the above armament tho regimental exercises were nccessarily with the sabre only, and all sqnadl'on C'xercises were with sabre only, until the last day ill camp, when the second squadron paraded with carbines fO.r squadron
drill. Individual troops occasionally used the carbines in their troop drills, As little or no dismounted drilling bad ever been attempted by the troops
f tbe First and Third SquadrOllS, and as the new cavalry drill regulations bad been very recently printed, and were novel to tbe entire regiment, I ordered
the morning drills to be confined to the school of the soldier and to tbe manual of the sabre; these drills to be conducted by the noucommissioued officers
of eacb troop, under the supervision o( their commissioned officers.

BG
Afternoon dL'ills were by troop commanderR, in tbe Echool of the Troop.
Dress parade gave squadl'on ('olllLUallders an opportuuity of handling tbeir commands.
It rained every day, but tbe anxiety to learn was ~o ~reat tbat drills werc not suspended. 'Wben the par'ade ground had to be abandoned, tbe mes~ halls were utilized Jor dl'ill in facings, and manual of Uw carbine and sabre.
The improvement of oO-jcers nnd men in their understanding of tbe move-
ments of dismounted men under the new drill regulations was the greatpst gain derived from the week's work.
It was showu in the marching and evolutions of the squndrons upon the day f tbe review by Governor Nonhen, and in thc afternoon of July 11th, and it will enable tbe troops to drill will! good results afteL' their return home.
DJRCIPI,lNE.
'1'he prevailing sentiment among members of this regiment is tbat "a well
regulated militia is essential to the safety and prosperity of the community." Heuce, orders weL'e promptly, cheerfully, and thoroughly obeyed. Enlisted men took as much pride in the maintenance of good order liS the omcers, each Iltl'iving to make himself worthy of promotion.
Jo this Cllmp a beginning WllS lnade in establishing the arIDY custom of
requiring salutes to all o!licers, a courtesy which experiellce has shown to be desirable, and hence is demanded by military law.
RIFl.E HA ~WE.
No one part of tbe week's experience excitell greater interest than the
;;booting.
.
Tbe instruction WIlS novel and valnable. 'l'he ideas cOll\'eyed will Rtimulate
pl'actice at home lit longer ranges than have heretofore been used, and at the
encampment nnother year the J'esults of such practice wil! sbow in better
avenlges for each troop, and in a lar~eJ' number of individuals qualifying a;;
marksmen,
In practiclll gooll to tl.le 111 ilitar)' of the State the benefits or UtiI' instruction
at the rifle range will be almost incalculilble.
At the camp in Savannah, in l8U1, details from each troop, IIggregatillg fifty-
live troopers, contended at heads antI rings 1'01' 1l10ne~' prizes given by tIle
Mercbauts Week Association of ~avannah. The highest individual score 'I'll;;
made by PJ'ivat(l W. J. Norman of Troop B. In 'lcldition to winnin,:r the first
indiddual money prize, his success made him the Uolor Ser,:rellnt of the regi-
ment for the succeeding' twe]\'(' months.
As thero waH no tilting at the encnmpmcnt this year, it wns tIecic1ed that
the enlisted man making the best score at the rifle range should be Color Ser-
geant for the next twelve months. This honor was won hy I"ergeant J. U.
Postell of Troop A.
With feelinglS of pride, I U('g to call attention to the fact, that although using
the carbine, there were fi\,(' of thi;; regiment who qunlified aR marksmen, viz.:
:aptain (jordon, Sergeant Postel!, and Private liilbert, of Troop A; Private
(iortIon o[ Troop B; and Uorpontl Fridel! of 'L'roopK.

'With e\'cry de~ire to learn, tbl' regiment could not ha\'e learnell so rapidly and accurately IIH they did without the aid of tbe o(lic('rs of the regular army attached to thl' clImp, They were untiring-in their labori' nnd won the respect and admiration of everyone. To Captains Field and f;mitb, and to Lieutenant;; I')atterlee, Haynes, Palmer and Kenly the rei!iment owes a deht oJ gmtitud(' it can neveL' repay.

The encampment of fOUl' troops of this regimeut at .Augusta in ]890 checked the tendency in them, as in many military companies, to dcgenerate into merely picnic or~anizations.
'1'he corner stone of all discipline was laid there in tlle cstablishment of the ~ntiment that" orders must be obeyed." Tbe encampment of nine troops at S:wanuah in 189\ developed this scntimeut and added to it the recognition of the sanctity of the uniform.
'Vhatever a man might choose to do out of uniform, when in ull.iform the wh?le regiment is responsible for his conduct, and he mnst do nothing to discredit it.
The authority and respOIisibility of sentinels and guards generally began also to be understood and apprpciated, and some progress was made iulearning mounted movements.
In the encampment just ended at Griffin the regiment was ready to begin to learn something more, and fortunately the increased numbC'r of regular oJlicers provided instructors.
Of course proficicncy in exeeution could not be gained ina week, but the members of the regiment return home with nn intelligent understanding of what they want to study and to practice.
"'hen the carbines, hr whiell you have made requisition, are received by the tt'oops yet unarmed, you can rely on the entire regiment's making a faithful effort to attain proficiency in all the exercises of dismounted cavalry.
The social surroundings have changeel in the past fell' yeal'S in parts of this as in other States. The ordinary resources of tlle civil authorities a"e not always snfficient to enSlU'e protection to life and property, and, as an adjunct to the civil anthorities, the existence ot an efficient citizen solrliery ii inval uable. In the cities, cavalry can do the patrolling usually done by mounted policemen, and thus enable the entire police force to be <:oncpntrated where most needed. In t lie country, canllry-which can also act aR infantry-must he principally relied on, not only to protect threatened places, bnt alF;o to reduce the chances of attack or riot by prevenLing the assembling ot disorrlerl~ per.,ons. It is to be hoped that 110 step backward will be taken by the ~tate, but tliat wbile all other worthy objects of its beneficence are cherished and "llstained, clue provision will also be marIe for maintaining and increasing the elliciency of her patriotic sons, on whom, in case of need, she must rely for :the preS('l'\'ation of law and order.

In addition to the foregoing Battery" L," Foul'th U, 10', Artillel',\', was present ,luring the encampment. It was commanded by Captnin ]~warc1 Field, and I'onsisted of one captain. two secondlieutcnanl~,and f;ixty enlisted men, Tbe lalter were selected from the seveml batterics of lhat rf'f,dment on duty at Vort l\1cPhel';;on, Cia,
This battery was ordered to Camp Northell by authority of the 'War ])8!Jartment as au object lesson; and it certninl~' well fulfilled its mission, It is a j.!reat pleasure to speak of tbe spirit of comradeship ('xisting during the encampIllf'nt bet ween the Illen of tbe regular army and the State volullteer~, Ever,\' "flie"r of the arlllY, from tbe comll1anuing' officer of the batlery to tbe juoior oflicel'~, made ever.\' effort to assist b~' ltllvicc lind encouragflment, and to foster :t ~entiment of c'ommuoity of interest
This spirit was met with hearty nc:eeptanre and appreciation, and one of tbl' IIHlst hopeiul features of the encampment, so far as its illflllenc:e may aflect the future of the Vll]unteer troops of Georgia, is thc fact that itR officcrs are now 't~sUl'ed of the hearty co-operation and intereRt fel t by the olliccrs of the regulUI' army in its organization.
The same good feeling WIiS exhibitpd by the men, Whenever off duty the men of Lhe State volunteeri; were cageI' to oblain infol'mation on ev('ry possible puint pertaining to the duties of a soldier, which tIle regular troops werequitl' ~IR eager to impart.
A 0)1 I KIRl'H,\l'IOX,
Tbe administrative omcers of the State of Georgia conHist of an Aujutant ~lnd Inspector,Uenerlll, a Quartermaster-General, a Judge Advocate-General (t'uch having tbe rank or Colonel), Hnd an Advisor'y Hoard,
The AdjUk'tntGeneral is Chief o[ Blarr to thc' ovewol'; he has to keep and pl'esPl've the arlTIR, accoutrements and other ll1ilital'y store!; of the l:itate, and ~hall keep a roster of the officers o[ the \'olunteer forceR, ant! shall keep on lile in his oOice allreportti made to him; it Hhall be his duty, UnleR!; tire (io\'ernor Rhall designate ~olTIe other pf'rson, to visit and inspect tire eOll1mlUldR of the ~aid \'olunteer forces; he shall make an annual report to the Governor o[ the ('ondition of the volunteer [orc'os, Hull Iolhall gi\'c his whole time and attention to said ofLice.
The Adjutllnt-(icnel'lll of this State is, besiues that omcc, lIIe keeper of pnblic ~rOllll(ls and buildings and as such receives a Hmall salal'y,
There is no clerk bl'longing to thc department to Htteud 1,0 the clerical duties of the;oflice; tbe Adjutant-tieneral JS an old man and cannot be expected to du HO; hel]Ce, there can be no PI'OPOl' administration wlwre there is no aSHistance to wukh the conduct of aft'airs.
Therp is at present an oflicol' of the rc~ulur army (Lieutenant C, B. Ratterlec', 'I'hird Artillery) assigned to duty with the troops of this Slate. lIe is untiring in his efIorts to get the offiCl' establif;hed on a propel' basis. 1Ie iH enlleavoring to have propE'l' record book~, as alsu Lhe necessary hlanks for reports, returns,
tc., ])roeured for uSP in the uffice of the Adjulant-General, and the several
ol'gani7.ations throughont tbe Fltatc, 11 t present none such exisl. r eneloRc
'opies or the only blanl,s for rendition of reports, etc., no\\' in use. There are absolutely no methods obsel'\'ed in thc office; aR matter~ aris
they are attendcd 10 liS the oCCII~ion l'equil'es; no seeming policy is executed, Arms are issued 10 captains of companies; their bond in double the vlllue
of the property is required; no officer is ever held on his bond; the matter of property accountability is not dealt \rith-no l'etul'l1s being I'cndered by uflicers re~ponsible,
Cerlai n returlls (copies herewi th) are su pposed to be rendered; bu t if they 1I1'e not turned in no one seems to be the wiHer; the palties delinfJllent are not '1nestioued as to tire CIIuse of omission.
Enlistnlent~ are supposed t-o be reported promptly as they al'e made, but the order does not seelll to be very generall," complied with, and ~eemingly no at tentioLl is paid to the matter.
'fbe hooks kept in the office of the Adjutnnt-Genel'ltl are: a letter book (letter pre~s copy) an order book, and a 1m'ge book in which is kept the names of organi7.ations admitted and oHicers commissioned; dates are not carefully J'ecorded, and dates "'hen organi7.ations .1l'e admitted seem to be omitted.
74
Tbe Quartermaster-General sLall perform such duties as pertain to his officeor as may be prescribed by tLJe Governor. He disburses tbe funds appropriated for maintenance of the annual enrampment, i. e., transportation by ncil to and from camp, pel' diem while in camp, anu such necessary expenses as Olay be inCllrred in policing tbe camp, etc., etc.
The Judge Advocate-General is to supervise and care for tbe management of all things relating to the administration of justice among the volunteer forces. He shall diligcntly scrutinize and examine the proceedings of all court-martia1l:; and report thereon to the Governor; be shall report in all eliRputed elections for an office whicb is BlIeel by election. lIe may act as Jndge Advocate of a court-martial wben the interests of tbe service den land. J believe LJe is vcry rarely, if ever, called on to <perform the latter tlntiee, ther\) being very few courts-martial held in the State.
'1' he Advi.qol'Y 13om'd.-There is established in this State, by an Act of the legislatnre, approved October] 3, l885, a military board called the" Adviso/'y Board," consisting of four fielrl officers and foul' captains of companies, designated every two years by tbe (;-overnor, together with the QuartermasterUt-neral, one of the Ql)vernor's aids (to be :designated by him), and tbe Aujutant and Inspector-General. Tbe Adjutant and Inspector-General shall be Presideut, and a Secretary is selected hy the board from its own membels.
The Act creating this board directs tbat after the Governor shall hll\'e designated the commands then existing, the apportionment of the orj!'anizations thereafter to be raiserl and organ ized throughout the differeut countie~, cities and lowns of the Slate, if any, shall be determined by sucb Advisor,\' Board, which apportionment shall be so made, considering tbe wants and necessities of tbe different portions of the State, that the commands of said volunteer forces shall be at con venient poiuts of the State, for service or for distribution when needed.
Commands may be disbanded whenever tbe said Ad visory Board shall report i.n writing to the Governor tltat it would be to tbe interest of the public service to disband such organization, and the Govemor sllall approve such report.
No such report sball, bowever, be mnde to the Governor by the board unti I after teu days' notice of tbe time and iPlace of tbe meeting of the board (callel[ by tbe Governor at the time and place named by him) shall first have been given to the commanding officer of sucb organization, aud that. evidence will theu be beard as to the propriety of disbanding such organization. Aftel' giving sucb notico the hoard sball heal' such evideuce as may be allduced and shall as speedily as practicable determine whether it will be to the interest of tbe service tf) disband sucb organization, and if a majority of the board vote that i.t would be, it shall be so certified to tbe Govel'11or, uuder the bands aud seals of the President and Secretary of said board, and the Govel'llor. if he approves sncb findings, sball issue appropriate orders for the disbaDCling of such organization and the safe-keeping of the public property wbich bas been intrusted to hirr,.
The Governor shall convene said Advisory Boal'd to inquire into tbe propriety of disbanding any organization belonging to said voluntl'er forces wbenever he may deem it addsable, 01' the Arljutant and Inspector-General shllJ) report that such organization shall be disbanded, 01' charges are pn'felTed by allY commissioned officer against any sucb organization of inefficiency, lack of discipline or other cause, which it true would, in the opinion f the GoveJ'Dor, justify tbe disbanding of such organization.
The Govel'llor may advise and consult, from time to time, in his discretion, witb said Advisory Board upon all matters connected with the welfare of said volunteer forces, and for such purposes may convene tbe board as often as be
lllay deem it necessary. In calllp the methods of administration were exceellingly simple. The
commanuing officer of each detachment, upon arriving in camp, issued an order assuming command of the same, designating the bours for all signals to be sounded for roll-calls, drills, guard-mounting, parades, fatigue, sick call~, mess calls, etc., etc. (Oue copy herewith.)
The Adjutants consolidated the company morning reports, made tbe necessary details for officers of thl;) day and guard, tbe non-commissioned officer, and number of privates for gnard. ~[any of them, however, I found decidedl)-
75
deficient in their knowledge of these details; they very soon acquired a thorough uoderstandiol? of them after a few lessons by the omcer in char~e of instruction in admiolstration. Before leaving camp they were all, certainly, equal to tbe requirements of tbeir omces in this particular,
Lientenant O'Byrne, of Fit'st Regiment., R, Q, M., and Acting Adjutant on this occasion, certainly understood well the duties of Adjutant, executl'(l them with case and in It soldier-like manner on tbe field aod in the oflice, The same may be said of Lieutenant Lawton, Adjutant of the Fifth Georgia Cal'airy, a painstaking 09:ice,' and thorougbly conversant with his duties; Lientenant Ross, Adjutant of tbe Second Regiment of Infantry, and Lieutenant Freeman, Adjutant of tbe Third Battalion, were equally well posted in t!wir duties,
TbeFl' omcers cl'rtainly desorve commendation Jor theil' industry and perseverance in tbeir eflarts to keep the administ,'ation of their departments in IlToper condition.
The only offieera of the Qua,'termaster and Commissary Departments required to perfom1 any of tbe legitimate duties of their ofl-jccs were Lieutenant ,James Wright, R Q, M. of the First Geol'gia Cavalry, wbo was appointed Acting Commissary ufti<-er for his regiment, and required to make the necessary purchases of subsistence supplies, which he did, I learned, by contrad, and iFFued to tbo individual companies rlaily or as migbt be required,
Lieutenant Leakon, .\cting Commissary Oflicer for the Tbird Battalion, performed similar dllties for bis battalion,
Tbe surgeons were excel'dingly attentive to their duties and prompt in the dischargo of them, No sick reports were sent with tbe sick, the surgeons attending them whenel'er and wherever call1'd for.
Dr. Gewil1llPr, 1:lurgeon of the Sccond Bl'giml'nt Infantry, deserves special mention in tbis c"onncction, He was untirin~ in bis eflarts to promote the health of the command with which he sen'eu, He brought with him int camp, of his own personal property for use in the hospital, thermol11eterF, hypodermic syringes, tlledicine case, amputating and trepanning case, pocketcase instruments, and Allen's Sur~ical Pump, with stomach pump, aspirator and other attachments, none of wlnch were supplied by the f;tate; in fact, the only art iell's or instruments supplied by the f;tate for use iu hospital werl': One pill-tile, one four-ounce crradnate, two spatulas and olle bl'oken prescription Rcales, witb twenty doilars for purchase of medicine for eacb week, if required, He had one lllan from eacb ('ompany of his regiment orl'anized as a hospital corpF, undergoing instrUCLions as "litter bt"arers," etc. lie instructed thrse mell in their duties 1'01' about an hour each day, and delivered one lecture to the commancl on the treatment of "emorgency cases," This deparL!U('nt has no chief.
The other administrative staff oflkers were apparently not requirl'd to ])('rform any of the duties legitimately pertaining to their departments; they were apparently fignre-headF,
The company cOl/lmanders prepared their morning reports after a fasbiou; there was evidence that many of them were unfamiliar with the pl't"paration of such It report, so also were tbeir first sergeants. No gu<Wd rosters were kept by tbe firEt ser~eants; indeed, tbey appeal'ed decidedly innocent of the necessity for snch. Of course there were exceptions, among whicb were the)cirst Hegiment, tbe Second Hegiment and lhe First and 'fbiI'd Battalions,
Tbis was remedied before each command left camp, No record books or blanks were supplied by the State, hence it appearell Lhat company commanders wel"C compelled to onicially communicate with the commanding oflicer direC'tly and orally, which was tbe custom,
OIlOANJ7.A'l'rON,
The voluntee)' troops of this State are or~ani7.ed into the Georgia Volunteers and tbe GeOl'gia Volunteers, colored. None of tbe latter were in camp.
The Georgia Volunteers consist of fifty COIDIJanies of infantry, fourteen cavalry ond two artillery,
Tlw Georgia Volunteers, colored, twenty companies of infantry, one cavalry and one artillery,
76
But the number of compaoies of ,'olunteer forces I:Da," be ioel'ea~ed from time to time, with the approval of the Governor, b~' the Ad,'isory Board,
The law p,'escribes that companies shall be organir.ed into battalion~, unless lhe companies are too dist.ant,
Tho First Regiment of Infantr," waH orgaoir.ell as such l.Jy ~pecial act of the legislature,
It will bl' ~ecn by reforenco to til(' tabulatcd ~tatement of organir.atiolls in ~'amp( mado a part of thifl I'oporl, that the companies are not org'anir.ed into hatta ions 01' regiment;; with any view to uniformity,
One batlalion consiRts of three conlpanie~, ono of foul' and one of five t'om,

('tc" etc',
There were two drills each day; ill the forenoon hy hattalion and in the
afternoon by companies,
The Pi/'sl Regimeu!, In/anll'!J.-Hattalion drills, generally c'Ccellent. Lieu-
tenant Colonel Reilly, who C'olllLUfluded, is certainly a good tactician and
thorou~h soldier; holds his battalion well in hand at all tirnes, He was abl~'
secondecl by hi;; acting adjutant, Lieutonant O'Byrne who was e:,ceedin~!y
pmmpt in establishing guides, having t.hell1 covel' promptly arHl correctly i the
guides woro well instructed,
The company drills were generally ~oorl; the manual yery goou, Company
I; was more ndvancell in the nrw dr'ill I'egulations than the other' companie~,
I witnessed one drill in extended order by this company; it waH certHinl)' a~
;wod as could be asked for,althongh the number of men present did notadmit
of man~' ~qnads for firing-line. supports. etc" yet, 1 could see that the drill

amI number of rounds werc invariably given and repeated by chiefs before
firiu~ wns commenced, The cnptain had pe'rEect. control of the {jrr,

])llinRtaking in thf'ir in~trllction; t.he blltlalioll drills were progres~i\'e and the
eompan,v drills vcry good,
70
Third Baltalion, hifantl'!f.-Battalion drills excellent. Lieutenant Colonel Garrard, commanding, haudlerl bis little battalion in flplendid style; held it well in hanp from start to finish. The adjutant was well posted in his duties; guides also. Company commandl'rs on the alert and prompt in the execution of every command.
Company drills were also uniformly good; manual \'ery good; cadence and lengtb of step correct.
Company A of this regiment drilled at extended order; sent squads to the front and deployed very handsomely.
Fourth Ballalion, lnfantl'y.-Battalion drills fair. Battalion commander and adjutnot well up in their drill; some of tbe company commanders and JIlell were too inattentive; guides clid not lmow their duties; consequently too much distauce between companies in colu:nn and t.oo much interval between companies when forming line frolll column.
Company drills.-Company H was very well instructed in all marching maneuyers; manllal very good; the otber companies of this battalion were not well instructcd in tbe new drill rel!;nlations; might have been in the Upton tactics.
.Allan/a Al'tillery.-This battery was well instructed in the manual of the piece, meciJanical maneuvers and 1l10menclature of the pieces and carriages; .gunners not instructed in elevation for various range~, weightR of projectileR, ltC.; indeed the officers appeareu deficient in this respect.
1'Iti?'d Regiment, lnjantl'y.- The companies oJ this regiment being widel~' Rcattered, man.\' of them isolated, was considcred in determining its relatil'e profiCiency.
'l'he l'~gill1ent was divided into battalions for instruction; one uuder comIMmd of Lieut. Col. Yancey and one under command of Major Guinn. Upon arrival in camp the regim('lnt appeared to know very little about battalion drill; before leaving, however, Colonel Yancey had his battalion pretty well inst1'llcted. All the omcers were very i;.morant of tho fundamentals of the drill; bllt it must be considered that this WitS the first time the regiment had been together since the drill regulations were issued. I am satisfied the instruction it recdl'ed will bear good fruit, and that at the next encampment it will make a much better showing.
C01l1PCLnfj dl'ilI~.-Some companies were well drilled; some, Jilir; but sel'('ral, very poor.
Cavalry Hattalion.- nri lls were 1110ul1 ted, and by battalion (01' squad ron); the l'el"eral movements were very well executed, such as forming on right or left iuto line from column of fours, front into line, colul1111 of troops from line-also without baiting, fOlming line to right or left from column of troops, also front into line, closing and extending intervals; eacb at a walk and trot. The troops preserved tbeir a Iignruen t, distance, aud intervals very Jai rly; liorsemanship fail'. ] ~aw but one man uniJoroed durin!! the drills.
The Lieutenant Colonel commandiug appeared very enlhu~iasticand handled hi~ squadrou adrnirably.
ClwlltWll .Al'tillel'!I.-])rilll' at the mauual oJ the piece (3// g'un) "eq' good; with tLe Gallillg gun very good; mechanical maneu l'el'S fair; nomenclature of pieces ancl cHlTiages vcry good; gunnerR well in~tructcdin elevation for various ranges and in tbe weights of charges and projectiles.
The marching of this battery was eertainl.1' excellent. Fifth Regiment Geor(fia CCll'Ctll'!I.-As stated before this rE'giment is dispersed over a very large territor~', some of the troops even seldom getting together unless ou occasiolls of this kind; hence the want of IwolI'ledgl' of dl::llllolinted drill by many of the troops. I leam.that lobe vocation of most of the men is snch as to necessitate their being in the saddle a I!reat port ion of each day. All the drills have be('n mounted; many of the officers amI men have seen service as cavalrymen during tbe late lI'ar; and the idea that they should marcb on horseback and fight on foot is to them unadulterated heresy.
pon arriving iu camp tbeir efforts at battalion ancl eompnny drills were very poor, bnt owing to their indomitable energy and desire to learn all they could while then', th!:'y I'ery SOOI/ became quite proficient.
I saw some troops or this re~imentdri lling on the parade gronnu at 9 o'clock moonlight nights.
80
Troops A and K were al-(reeable exceptions to the ioregoin~. The volunteer forces of Georgia are all, in my opinion, fairly well advance,l in the new drill regulation~, considering the I'ery limitp.d opportunities they have had to become so.
DIRell'l.1 x E.
The dil,icipline maintained in camp throughout the mriolls organi:r.ations wa,.:
as follows:
Pi..sl RegilJll'l1t, lnJ'ant ..y.-The best in tht' ~tate, Jllen are prolnpt in their ob
servance of tbe respect due to all oAicers; they rise, stand at attention and
salute as ofjicers approach. Orders are ouserved and obeyed zealously, the dis-
tinction between ofJicers and mell rigidly observed. No loud or boisterou"
conduct allowed 01." attempted, and 'Iuiet in the camp of this regiment was
perfect between tattoo aud reveille.
Fowlh Regiment, Inj'anll'y.-Discipline is I'ery weak in this or~ani:r.ation, lit-
tle distinction between officers and men observed, omcers not always saluted.
men seldom I'ising or stamling nt attention as oflicers approach. There did
not appeal' to be any intcntionnl neglect, but rather ignorance of Lhe lequire-
men ts in such cases. The association of officers aud mon too h'eq nent..
Second Regiment, lnfant..y.-Tho caillp duJ"ing thisr egiment's occupancy WIlE<
quite orderly. The compnuies appeared to be under very good discipline.
There appeared a decided desire on Lhe part of the men to attend to their duty
in faluting o/licers nnd in obsel"l'ing el'ery court.esy due them, 'rbel'e WliS
somellssocintion betl\'een omcers and men which appenred to be diitie-liit to dis-
ontinue; also gronping o[ mell around oAlcers' tents.
Third BallalioTl, ciplilly club men;

battalion al'e organi:r.ation.
prinTht'
(li~cipline of tbe commnnd was iair; the relation between officers and men is
such as naturally result from being Fokliers to-day nnd busiol;;ss associat's and
neighbors to-morrow. In some particulars discipline is I'ery gooll; it is two
tbe social intercourse between oRicers and men is too great, but they obe.l-
implicitly tlJe cOlTIll1au(ls of their ot-Iicers and pay the required respect nnd
courtesy to tbero and all others; trifling infractions, so cnlled, are not notice,l.
FOU1'l1~ Na Uu{io 11 , lnfantl~l/.-Dis('ipline I'ery poor and in many cases willfully
HO. There were instances or dirl'ci il1SU/lOrdination which came under my imme-
diate obsen-ation, vi:r..:
When inspectin~ this battalion I entered the street of Company _\. (0
inspect it; it was not ready-not formed. I waited a few lninnte~, tben asked
the company commander if he would please prepare bis cornpaoy for inspec-
tion. At that IIlOment I saw the first serf!cant enter the company stl'eet on
the run. T.he lieutenant in command call"d out to him to burry up rlUd forlll
the compnllY. The first ;;ergeant coolly I'eplied: "You just wait noll' until r
;!;et tbere." No notice wns taken of this iJy the ('oJUpany eommnllder so far l1H
I couldlenrl1.
A night or two before breaking camp a combined effort was made by several
men of (,his command to force tbo line of sentinels. The commanding offic()r
of the tamp learned of their intentions, sent out patrols and frustrated theil'
lesigll; not, however, before they had made one or two attempts. ne su('-
ceeded in 8nesting most of them, kept them in the gnard tents all night and
in the morning sent their names to tbe hnttalion commander. 'Wlrnt action
was taken by the uattalion commander I do not know ns tbe troops returned
to their bomes a day or two after.
These men should have been severely dealt with in order thnt all should
learn that respect for a eentinel on post it> the most important duty for asoldier
to observe.
Company B of this battalion wns under excellent discipline dnring the
encnmpment.
'1t1antcG Artillel'lI.-T!:Je discipline of this organization was fnir, all respectful
to their snperior ofticers and non-commissioned officers, saluting promptly an,l
properly all officers, obeying all orders with alacrity.
'l'hircl Regiment Injanll'y.- Discipline willfully, but rather for tbe want of

nSoat i uI t easm

generally obsen'eel by the non-commissiouecl officers and men. :::lome of the
loll
most laughable attempts \\'cre made by men while sittinl;: down, never attempting to rise 01' stand at attention. There was nothing vicious or willful about it; tbey always appeared ready and will in~ tl) execute an \' ortlcr 01' undergo any amount of work.
Cavall'y Ballalion.-Discipline good. The men, prompt to obsl'rve and execute all orders, werc orderly in camp but not well instructed in saluting.
Chatham Altillm!I.-Discipline fail'. 'Phis organization is, I understand, hoth social and military, all members of the same club. What !laiS been said of th Third Battalion Infantry will apply with equal force to this battery.
Fifth Regiment, Cavall'Y.-Discipline o[ this command in many j'espects "ery good. Non-commisFioned oflicers aud men observant of every orde)' and obeyed tbem nnhesitatingly. They were Bober and exceedingly ordel'ly in camp, never loud and hoisterous in tbeir conduct. ~aluting officers appeared to be ignored. Thflre did not appeal' any intentional neglect o[ duty in this matter, but rather ignorance and failuro to appreciate the value of what appeared to them trivial things. Troop K of this regiment WHS one of the vel')' best disciplined organi7.ations in camp, l;qual to the best that Call hc found anywhere.
Notwitbbtanding the fact that the city of Griffin, Ua., is but about three ouarters of a mile dit .ant from the camp, with drinking saioons on every block, luever leal'lled of any disturbance in the city caused by the troops, nor did I see a dn~nken man in camp.
(lUAI{O MOU~TS.-(;L'.IRJ)" .IX)) i'Jo:~'J'INEL".
G-uard mounts after the first [ell' days iu camp were properly pedoJ'meJ. The adjutants and sergeants-major, llfter a little instruction, did their duty "ery satisfactorily. To the officers, non-commissioned officers and men, this ceremony appeared new, none o[ them knew their propel' pLaces 01' duties at first. The first sergeant.s appeared ignorant of what was required o[ them. Tue ceremony, at the time the din'crOlll commands left camp, was a decided im provement.
G-uard duty was generally very imperfectly performed. Neither oflicel's, non-commissioned omcers nor men were well instructed in this very important duty. 'l'hey appeared to lack appreciation of its importance. 1'h/3 oflicers of the day and guard, although ~letailed some time before JOounting guard, aftonling sufficient time to prepare themselvcs 1'01' the duty, we1'(' generally foun<l deficient.
The sentinels walked their post in a Hlo\'enly and decidedly llllsoklierlike manner, calTying their rifles in any manner aF seemed to them easiest, frequently crOFsed back of the neck, bolding it with one hand at the stock and with the other' at the muzzle, rarely paying any attention to officers, often leaning theil' rifle against a tree and going to their tent or meRS room on SOIU trivial pretext.
Lieutenant Kenly, Fourth Artillery, had charge of the instruction of omeer~ and men in this duty as well as guard mounting. ] [C' certainly labored hanl, giving it his undivided care and attention, was incessantly on the alert to correct every mistake, accompanied the first relief of each guard, saw them properly posted and their orders understandingly turned over and visited tIll' selltinels repeatedly during day and night. To him is due the credit 1'01' the improvement of this duty, which waR apparent, at thc end of each command's encampment.
Guard duty by the First Regiment and Tbird Battalion of Infflntry WfiR <lol1e zealously. 1:lentinels were always on the alert and attenti\'e to their (luty, walked their posts in a Roldierly manner, facing and sainting in a propel' manner and rigidly enforcing all their orders.
Till{(lE'r pnAt'flCE.
With the exception of a few compa:lies, the troops of this State have nel'er had any systematic target practice or iustruction in pointing and aiming drills, gallery practice or the use of rifle sight.
'fhere was no practice during the first week of the encampment owing to

the insuflicicncy of the slop lInt.1 to prevent bullets from going into privaL property in rear of the bntt,.t..:fhis was remedicd in a few days by tlw ofUccr 1n cbarge of small armfl practicc.
The practice waH comllll'ncecl during thc second week and continued until the close of the cncampment with considerable success.

'l'he command preceding the last ill camp left their sinks in very bad condition, Ihe seats befouled and the vaulls filled to overflowing. The succeeding commanding ofl:il-er took immediate measures to have this remedied.

~rhe quartermaster sergeant of the FOllrth Battalion, in.fantry, 1 believe,
repl'l'Rented tho quartermaster's department in camp, rather an anomalous
position for him to ocwpy; nevertheless, he had charge of all the propelty in
camp and tho direction of everything pertaining to lhat department. The
eommanding oClicers o[ the camp had to request him to han' done -.vhntevel
they found 10 be necessary to the prqper policing, etc., of the camp. Thil'l I
considered snbversive of tliscipline, Yllt it continued until the last week o[th ..
84
encampment, when Colonel (Jol'lloD dirccted his Regimental Quartermaster
to perform the duties o[ post quartermaster, This was as it sh~uld be from the beginning; cven if 11<,' had to rcceipt for
all the supplies in camp it wO,uld be only in tl,le propel' ~is(;harge of his lef;it!mate duties, and very materIally promote hiS Il1structlOn, No doubt, It IS
difficult to look [or the discipline exacted in the regular arl11Y of the volun-
teer troops, 'fhe social l'elationsllips which exist bctween officeri; and JUen when at
home would hardly stand the ~train. Thc company officers are in many cases unnecessarily lenient to\\'ard their men; tlley did not correct them at all
times when they should have done so. I think company ofticers care too lDuch about heing popular with their men, 'ruey should be more stril't llnd
not endoavor to throlV the responsibility for correction or punishmcnt of every oifencc committed by their mcn upon the commanding officer.
FOI' purposes of tUsciplinc and instruction, the company is too frequently
regarded as the administrative unit, Tbis practice is harmlul in its tendencies and possible result, for should occasion bring the re~irnent or battnlion togetber, the same spirit of independence will assert itself. The term of en-
listment (one )'uar) is entirely too sbort. A man has not time to become acquainted wi th el'en the I'ud iments of his prufeSHion uefore h is term of service
expires. The time allowed each command in calllp is too limited; it does not aifol'll
sufficient opportunity to instruct men in their varions duties, tbe men rarely 10ing more than one tOll I' o[ guard duty; the s~ulle may be said of the officers ann non-commissioned oAicers.
About the time they be~in to uuderstand tbe nature of tue duties required of them they have to break camp. Thcre are entirely too many young lads
in tile ranks, especially in the Hecond Regiment, some o[ them hardly equal
to holding the rifle at the shoulder while aiming, much less to undergo the fatigue of a I'Ny triflin~ l'ftlllpaign. I fear lDany of them enlist for tbe pur pose of getti ng to cam p,
There appeareJ a want of instructi.on in "i';etling up Exercises." I fear this instruction, e~st'ntial to the make-up of a soldier, is entirely omitted 01' overlooked throui!hOllt the' sevcl'Rl organizations,
'1'her6 seem cd to be a feeling of discontent among the ofiicers and men i>ec!wse uf the paucity o[ i ntere~t entertained by the Fitate legislatme for its I'olunteers, The officeI'd and men have to bear all the expense attending
the maintenance of thc several organizations i some office,'s have expended f,'om thrir own rcsources hundreds of dollars for putting their organizations in
a presentable shape for ccrtain work.
Attending the lInnual encampments is, outsidr of the time gil'en to it, a i;ource of expense to every ol'ganization in the statl', Tbe State appropriates
for tbe cost of trausportation to and from cam p and fifty cen ts pel' diem wll i10
there. l'he intereHt displayerl by officers and men throughout the several commands was very conI mendable, tbe troops were not only willing, but really
anxious to receive such instl'llction as might be afforded Chem ; the proficiency attained was most gratifying, and the State fully compensated thereby for the
money expended on this encampment.
I have to say that while r saw much to t'riticize in administration, disci p-
line and tactics during the time I spent in calDp with the State Voluntecrs
f Georgia, when it is considet'ed that these troops devote but one week in a year exclusi"ely to milital'y trainin~ and instruction, tbere is much to :ommend in what they have accomplislled, They serve their state at a loss
to themselves of time and money and get very little encouragement from thei I' state j!;ovemment. For their disinterested labor they are entitled to great
praise and all the assistance that can he aifol'ded them by the f'tate,
IlECO~rM EXO.I'I'ION",
The entirc laws uf the StRte relating to the volunteer forces should be cod-
ilied, published and distributed to the several organizations,
'fhe stafrdepartments should loe thorough Iy reorganized upon a basis worthy
of tbe state.
'
The' AdjutantGeneral should receive an adequate salary to enable him to
8,1j
devote bis wbole time to the duties of bis office. A clerk in tbis departmen t
is indispensable. The Quartermaster-General shoulll have an assistant, a
commiBsioned officer, to assist him in his duties and represent him in camp,
also a clerk in his office.
The medical department needs also reorganization. A surgeon general and
a hospital corps are necessary to the efficient working of this important
branch.
The companies should be organized into regiments, or battalions of uniform
strength, each re~iment 01' battalion havinlr an equal number of field, staff
and non-commisSIOned staff officers, and each company having an equal nnm-
bel' or non-com missioned officers and men.
A law should be enacted providing for the propel' convocation of courts-
martial, punishment of offenders, enforcing sentences and collecting fines.
As a first essential a careful course of instruction by company commanders
of tbeir subalterns and non-commissioned officers in the school of the soldier
and company. This should include recitations in drill regulations as well as
exercises in the drill room.
The importance of "Setting up drill" should not be overlooked. Thorough
soldierly bearing is impossible in troops lacking this instruction. I Would
recommend that every drill be preceded by a few minutes brisk work in
setting up exercises.
All should be constantly instructed in paragraphs ll9 and 485, "Infantry
Ddtl Regulations," until thoroughly underst('lod and practiced with ease.
All companies should be required, before tbe next encampment is held, to
be fairly proficient in the extended order drill; so far as I could jndge tbis
bas bitberto been neglected, exccpt in a very few instances. Its importance
is vital.
The importance of guard duty, in any course of instruction, seems also to
have been largely lost sigbt of. .1 would suggest a careful instruction in " Ken-
non's Manual," and in simulated guard duty in company drilll'ooms.
A systematic COUl"se of instruction in target practice sbould be begun witb-
ut delay. The preliminary aiming, pointing and position drills, also gallery
practice are practicable in any of tbe company drill rooms.
Tbese vanous courses of instruction would prove interesting, and vary tbe
monotony of constant pJ'llctice in tbe manual and movements practicable in a
company armory. The standard of efficiency should be raised; an aV4age
attendance at drills of 50 per cent. is too low.
Each regiment, battalion and company sbould be supplied with proper
record books, blank forms for reports, returns, etc., and necessary stationory,
or funds for purchase of the same.
A guard report book should be fU1'l1ished each regiment and battalion, and
a copy of "Kennon's Manual o[ Gllard Duty," to each company.
First sergeants should be inE'tructed bow to make correct reports and keeI
daily rosters.
The company commanders should make reports to their regimental or bat-
talion commanders, at least once a month, of the condition of their compa-
nies, the number of drills drill, tbe number of men
had, the enrolled
kin and
ddsisocf-bdarrigl1eat
tbe dur
average ing tbe
attendance at montb, in fact
everything pertaining to their companies. Tins is the only means by wbich
the commanders can feel in toucb with each company of their organization.
Tbe company streets at the southern ellli of the camp should be moved to
the northern end, wbere there is good bigb ground, to avoid the flooding of
the tent floors during heavy rain storms, which repeatedly happened during
the encampment.
The hospital roof should be tinned to prevent its leaking. During the en-
campment there were times when it was impossible to find a dry spot inside
ot tbe building during the beav,Y rain storms. 'rhe same may be said of all
the other buildings. Tbe hospItal sbould be provided with at least eight
spring beds, with pillows, blankets, etc. Tbe propel' and necessary instru-
ments should be supplied.
A trench or dry ditch should be dug in real' of tbe bath houses to carry off
the waste water running frOID tbem and tbe faucets j the bath bouses should
bave latticed fioors.

ilEPoRrs.
In each regiment and separate battalion an inspector of small arms practic was appointed and reports of practice, as required by Blunt, were rendered by most of the companies engaging in praclice.
lllFLES AND CARBINES.
I found rifles and carbines provided with the open or Buckhorn, and the BuffingtOD rear sights, about in equal proportion. Two or tbree of the companies of infantr'Y were armed with 50 calibre rifles, and a few troops of cavalry were not provided with carbines at all. 'I'hese organizations used borrowed pieces in their practice. Most of tbe pieces were clean enough to be serviceable, a few were not so on account of rust and broken firing pins.
RESUllrs.
It is believed tbat there was sufficient pr0gress made and interest awakened, durin~ this, the first regularly conducted target practice, to cause ranges to be estabhshed and practice carried on at the homes of the troops, where more time can be given to this important training. This prediction applies specially to the troops residing in and around Savannah, Macon and Au~usta.
I feel under a keen sense of ohlij1;ation to the troops of beorgia [or th uniform courtesy and kindness shown me by both officers and men during til cntire encampment.
I frequently sought and obtained the advice of Captain Lewis Smith, Third United States Artil1ery, under wbose supervision I had been directed to r'egard myself, particularly in regard to the sufficiency of the means of protection.
There was not an accident of any kind during the practice. I was oblij1;ed to be absent for five days durin!:! the fourth week for the reason given in the order hereto appended marked C. During this tim my duties were performed by Lieutenant SatterlC'e, United States Army.

REPORT.
f::hATE OF GEORGIA, AD.JUTANT AND INSPEC'I.'Ol't-GJJ:NERAr}S OFFICE,
ATLANTA, September 30, 1893.
To His Excllency, W. J. NOl'then, GovenW1' of Georgia:
.8IR-I haye the honor to submit the following ru'port of this department for the year ending September
0, 1893. RG ANTZA TION.

nder the provisions of the act of the Genoml Assembly, approved October 13, 1885, and section 1103(s), Code of 1882, no companies can be received, commi"-
f
~ioned 01' recognized uutil duly fllrnished with al'ms and
accoutrements of the lJattel'll in use in the United States
al'IOY, either by the State or by the organization seeking
admission, flOI' until unifol'med as presel'ibed in regula-
tions of the State, laid oo\\'n in General Ordel's No.8,
Jj-'ebruary 11, 1~90, from this oflice.
None of the foregoing eommauds have themselves
complied with the necessary conditions fOl' admission,
wing to the very Ii mited an n ual appropriation allotted
to the State of Geo"gia, under act of Oougress, for
"arming and equipping the militia," ($1l,331.07), and to
the fUl,ther fa,ct that this State has made no special pro-
visioll for al'l1ling and equipping tho volunteer troops,
the several organizations have necesRarily been held ill
abeyance until the lfederal appropl'iation fol' the current
liscal year became available,
It is fully expected that a majority of these com-
mands may Le admitted and commissioned, through
:iuch allotment, by 01' before Jannar.)', 1894, 01' as soon
as the neeessul'y stores are received from the general
govern men t,
It is not practicable to admit all applicants during
the fiscal year of 1803-4, tlJC appropriation of $11,331.07
not bei ng suflicien t.
.
The entire allotment cannot be expended on arms
and equipments fOI' infantl'y; a portion must be re-
erved and used for the cavalry and artillel'y now on the
rolls; also fOl' camp equipage, tentage, target material,
gallery practice outfits, ammunition, etc.
Within a pe1'iod of one year, all commands recom-
mended fOl' admission can ,it is believed, be provided
for, and received,
In connection with organization attention is invited
to the great want of uniformity iu the nurnbel' of com-
6
panics composing the several regiments of infantry, an in the several regimental anel battalion staffs.
The First regiment has five companies, the Secoud twelve, the Thi I'd twel ve, the l!'ou rth ten. These figu res represent the number of companies now authorized by law. }i;ach regiment exists by virtue of a special act of incorporation, and clift'ers from another in these particulars us did the circumstances undel' which formation was prompted. No single-minded. policy controlled in their ol'ganization; eft'ective administration ~Lnd CODlpactness of territory from which parts were dl'awn, weI' seemingly lost sight of. Theil' formation was conceived by theil' individual promoters, ancl accomplished without consu~tation with or refel'ence to this department or one common ground plan or pnblic policy. Each act authorizing organization was singular, and not fmmed with regard to any general provisiou of law, 01' prescribed I'egnlation Ol' standard; indeed existing laws contemplate no precise or definite system of formation. As a very natueal consequence, want of system, uniformity and regularity has resulted, which may be sumlliliri7.ed briefly in the following defects:
1. The regiments and battalions have no uniform authorizedstandal'd of strength in number of companies.
2. The companies constituting a regimf\l1t may, undel' the laws of its incorpomtion, be very widely scattered, in certain cases; such is a fact. Again, fOl' concentration, parts of a regiment may be obliged to travel long distances and out of their own propel' territory, strikingly illustrated in the location of companies of th .. Third I'egiment. This command is stationed mainly in N orthel'n Georgia, north of and along the Ueol'gia Railroad, except two companies, A and K, at .LaGmng and Newnan, south of the Fourth battalion..
In case of concentration of this regiment, the trans-
7
portation of these companies would involve comparatively grcaterexpenseand greatel' tmvel ; moreovel', they would cross ovel' the distl'ict of other commands. Were the component parts more compactly located, or if assigned to a regiment aftel' dne considel'ation of a certain denned military distl'ict, an appreciable saving on tnLnsportation would be made, bettel' and more effective regimental contl'ol and direction insu['ed, more rapid concentration would be possible; in other words greater economy and effecti\"eness would result. A similar conditiou prevails in the cases of Second and Fourth regiments.
3. The stafls lack unifol'mity. In but two regiments is the office of inspector of smaJI arms }Jl'actice pl'ovided for by law; in two regimen ts no chaplain is authorized; the non-commissioned stafl's also val'y in important pal'ticulal's. Again it may be observed that certain staff offices arc in great measure hOllol'ary, (dne to the fact that by virtue of prevailing methods of admin-, istration, pl'::LCticable under existing laws, no functions are presCl'ibed 01' I'equil'ed for such departments).
4. The ol'gauizatiol1 of regiments is at preseut based upon the now discarded system of Upton's tactics. rChere is no general <1utbol ity of law for an organization adapted to the new driJI l'egulations of the United States al'my, which -have been adopted for the troops of this State. The volnnteel's are, thel'efOl'e, not abreast of the times and modem tactical principles.
To remerly or COI'l'ect the fOl'egoing deficiencies, I wonld respectfully recommend legislation pl'oviding 1'01':
1. A complete l'eol'ganization of the volunteer fOl'ces of the StloLte-the infantry into not exceeding six l'egiments of twelve companies each; each regiment to be divided into thl'ee battalions of not more than foul' nor less than three companies each; each battaliou to
8
ue commanded by a major'; the field, staff and non-comcOl11lnissioned staff' to conform to the principles laid dowil in the new dl'ill r'egulations, and to the needs of the State; the cavall'y into not excecding two l'egiments, of twelve tL'00PS each; a regiment of cavalry to be divided into three sqnadL'Ons of not mOl'e than fOlll' nor less than three troops each; each squadl'ou to be under' command of a majol'; the genel'al pl'inciples of the CllVaIry drill regulations and the necessities of the State to g'ovcrn in the formation of the field and commissioned and non-commissioned staf!:'.
III the above ol'gauization of infantr'y and cavalry, no regiment should be for'med with less than seven companies 01' troops, and until such nunlbel' is commissioned, separate battalions 01' squadrons should be allowed.
2, Attention is invited to a difficulty which has al'isen, in an embarrassing for'm, at all annual encatnpments, namely: the non-attendance of certain sUl'geons whose commands have been ordcl'ed into camp. With the exception of the Surgeon-Gener'al, all SUl'geolls are commissioned, as of regirnentR, battalions and light batteries. When a comlOand is ol'der'ed into camp or into the field, and its sUl'geon does not accompany it, it is placed at a disadvantage. Such situations have occurl'cd on val'ious occasions. During the first tour of duty of the camp of instruction of 1892, each regiment pI'esent was without its sl1l'geon; fortunately for the ommand, a physician (a pr'ivate of one of the companies) was present, and his sel'vices were used.
It is thought that this aituation may be remedied by the organization of a medical corps on the same geneml lines as in the army, Medical oflicers in the regular service beloug, by virtue of their commissions, not to regiments,notto the line, but to tbegeneralstaft'; they
9
are assigned to duty with line troops at yarious posts of duty.
So with a surgeon of the State; he would be commissioned in tlJe general staft:-tbe medical departmentbut might be assigned to (luty with a I'cgiment, separate battalion or battery, in the discretion of tJle Gov-
rnOl', Atno encampment has adeqnate assistanceheen reg-
ulal'1y aft'orded the post surgeou, due IJrimarily to the fact that no hospital and ambulance COI'PS is auLhurized by tIle military code; no such cor'ps has been organized, Sevel'lll comruauds have hospital Htewards-not all. Under existing regulations these Inen are required to he practical dl'Uggists, duly licensed by the State Board of Pha.rmacy, The same remarks as to theil' attendance at camp may be made as in the ease of surgeons. A hospital and ambulance COI'pS, like a medical department, might, with appal'ellt advantage, be made independent of the line iu orgaui,lfttion, but attached or assigned to duty with regiments 01' composite eommands at; exigencies demanded, On occasions of duty at camp or ill the field, sur'geouE', hospital stewards and member's of the hospital and ambulance corps, most available, might be directed to attend, No command would then be left unprovided for, Such a system would always supply medical attendance; moreover, its operations would, it is thought, conduce materially to the bui Idi ng up of a healthy csp?'il de corps, alld to the establishment of sucb indispensable organizations on a workable and serviceable basis,
3, To fUI,ther promote the eiliciency of the militar'y system of the State, legislation is recommended pl'ovidiug for:
(a) The better and more complete o"ganization of the following ",clministrative genem] staff' Llepal'tments,
10
namely: the Adjutant-General's Depal'tment: with ooe adjutant-gelleml and oue assistant adjl1tant-genet:al; the Inspector-GenerlLl's Departmen t, with one inspector-gen-
rat aud two assistant inspectol'-gencrals; the Qua\'termastp.l"S Depal'tment, with one q uarteI'n1aster-general,
ne assistant qnartermastel'-genel'al, and one assif:!tant ([nal't.el'master (now provided); the Subsistence Department, with one commissal'y-general of subsistence and
ne assistant; the Medical Department, including the hospital and ambulau()e corps as suggested above, with
lie snrgeon-general, one assistant surgeon-general, one medical inspector, and surgeons, equal in number to th lIumbel' of regiments sepamte battalions and batteries. ]]'1'0111 past expel'ience the present ol'ganization of the
J ndge Ad vocate-GelJ eral's Depnrtmen t is deemed ade-
CJuate. Except ill pressiug emergencies, t.he Adjutant ~eneral is able to perform the duties of Inspector-Gen'ral, but he should have nn assistant in such capacity.
(b) The o\'ganizatioo of a sigual corps fOl' each regiment.
(c) It ie also recommeudeu, under this genoral snbdivision of the report-organization-that authol'ity be grant0d by law for the formation, in addition to the
cOl'gia volunteers allowed, of one battalion of not ox>eeding fOUl' compan ius of Naval Militia, to be known as the Naval BnttaliolJ of the Georgia Volul1teere, organized by voluntary enlistment for the defence of the coast.s an(1 harbors, and fOI' iustrllction and trainillg in . nnval drill and tactics.
I will state that such all ol'ganization will. involve no othel' expenses than those attaching to the maintenance
f the militia. For the arms and equipments of the naval m iii tia of tLe various States an annnal appropriation is made by tbe general govemmeot.

ENCAMPMENT.
In consequence of the inadequateappl'opriat10n of th General Assembly for the practical tl'3,ining and SUppOI't of the troops of this State ($20,000), it was found impracticableto ol'uerthe entil'e fOl'ce into the annual camp of instruction. This mattei' was detel'Olincd by th MilittLl'y Advisory Boal'd at its meeting, held March 27, 1893.
The force was therefore divided 1nto two parts, as nelll'ly as prlleticab1e; one-half to be placeu in camp 1n 1893, the remaindel' in 1894. To 111Snl'0 greater instl'Uetion and uettel' results, a tour of duty of teu clays, il1:Iuding time in travel from and to home stations, was fixed upon. The following commauds were placed in amp during 1
]~lrst tOUI' of duty, July 6th to 15th:--the Firth 'Rcgiment Georgia,Oava1ry, and the First Battalion, Infantry;
010ne1 W. W. Gordon, ~'ifth Regiment, Georgia avalry, commanding.
Second tonr of duty, July 17th to 26th ;-the Fil'st ancl Third Regiments, Infantl'y, and the Ohatham alld Atlanta Artillel'y; Oolouel George A. Mel'cer, First Regiment, commanding.
The stl'ength of officors and men in attendance is shown in the tabulated statement accomJ..lanyingthis I'{\pOIt-appendix K.
The followi ng named officers of the U oi ted Statesarmy and Georgi~L Volunteers \Vere present during th~ encampment as instl'l1CtOI'S and assistants:
uptain George G. Greenough, Fourth United States Artillery, Inspecting Officer, l'epresenting the War D(\partment, and as geneml instructor.
aptain Owen '1', Kenan, Second Regiment, Georgia Volunteel's, as 1nstructol' in guard and sentry duty.
12
lstLieutenalltChas. B.Sattel'lee, Third United States Artillery, on duty with the troops of tbis State, as Acting Assistant Adjutant and Inspectol'-Gcneml, in the capacity of Inspector-General of Small AI'ITIS Practiee, and instl'llCtol' in administration. Upon the request of the post commanders this officer acted as post adjutant Juring each tOUI' of duty.
, st Lieutenant Hany )1. llallock, :Medical Depaltment, United States A1'l1ly, instl'uctor ill matters pertaining to the Medical and Hospital Corps.
2d Lieutenant Frank G. Mauldin, Third United States Artillel'y, instructor in small anns ]Jractic".
In addition to his othel' duties, Captain Greenough gave daily lectul'es on practical milital'y topics. Talks wel'e also giveu by Lieutenants Sattedee alld Hallock.
J cannot too highly commend the efficient sel'vices of these several otlicets who, by theil' wal'm intel'est and zealous wOI'k, aided most materially in wllate\'el' good rednlts Wel'e accomplished fOl' and by tbe tl'OOpS.
Lieutenant Hallock ha(l undel' his charge foul' men of tile lIospital ('Ol'pS of the Army and one ambulance d,'ivel'; also, ill matel'ial, a tield ambulance and field hospital, each fully equipped. Excellent object lessons in the care of sick and wounded wel'e gi\'en thl) troops, and practical illustmtions of the methods of picking up ,and conveying wounded from tho battle Held wel'e mad dnring each tOUI' of duty.
The following en listed men f the army were also present on <l uty, under ol'del's from the War Depal'tment:-
rpoml Ol')a II. Brous, Battery I,Tbi I'd United States al'tillery, as assistant to the l'ange officer, and in charge of tbe targets and pits. The Inspector-General of Small Arms Practice speaks, in his l'epol't--appondix M-in
li
highl.}' commendatol'y tel'ms of this non-commissioned officel'.
Musician William Ful'1ong,Hattel'y K, same regiment, woo acted as field musiciau or trumpeter' during theencarnpment,
The State has been phH:ecl under obligations to the Wal' Department by the detail and valuable services of these 0:fficer3 and men; and the State is heavilyindebtecl to them for their active interest in behalf of the troops, and for the great good accl'uing to oHicel's and men through their kindly auel efficient instl'Uction,
aptain Owen T, Kenan, as instmctol' in gual'd duty, rendered in val uable services. His detai I for special duty, at camp was an experi men tin utilizi ng reson rces at band among the Georgia Volunteers, and in the inaugul'ation f a system of State inspectors and. instl'uctors. The experiment was a marked success. Ilis reporton guard duty issubmitted herewith, appendix 0, to which attention is invited-especially that of the troops: from it many valnable lessons may be leamed.
By the act of the Genem! Assembly, approved Decembel' 23, 1892, the office of Surgeon-General, 01' head of a medical department, was created, and N apoleoll G. Gewinner, late sUI'geon, Second Regiment, infantry, was appointed to:fill it. Ilis frequent presence at camp and his acti\'e cancel'll in the conduct and control of aft'airs of his department has l'esulted not alone in attl'acting thoughtful attention to the great importance of this corps, but in establishing it npon a substantial and pl'actical basis.
nder the act, approved Decembel' 23, 1892, the of fice of Assistunt Qual'tel'nlaBter, with the rank of captain, was established.
Captain Lewis n. Kenan, late private Company B,
Fourth battalion, wasappointed thel'cto, Forseyoral days
14
priol' to and elul'ing the eucampment and fOl' about ten Jays after its close, Captain Kenan was on duty at Camp Northen, as post qual'tel'mastel'-in which capacity, by llis close and constant attention to dut~-, his zeal and activity, he contributed vel'Y lal'gely to the smooth and efFective running, anel to the suceess,of the camp of instl'Uetion. '
The Qllartel'mastel"s Depal'tment, undel' the direction and control of the Quartermaster-General, Colonel Anell'ew J. West, was very eflicientj and by the adoption Hnd use of pl'actical and business-like methods in its dealings with the troops, its importance as an auxilial'y in effeetive administration has been clearly establisbed.
All the improvements at the camp site enumerated below wel'e made by this Department. Its wOl'k in connection with, and at, the camp was conducted as llearlyas pl'acticable upon the lines of the Army.
]j'or more detailed information as to the wOl'k of the encampment and the results attained, attention is iuvited to the accompanying repol'ts of the inspecting offieel', the heads of depal'tments and their assistants and to the reports of post com manders,
Various a,nd necessary impl'ovements have beeu made since last year 011 the camp site, the buildings, rifle range-the most important being the following:
1. Themaking of a roadway 01' dl'ivc along tbe eastern and southem sides of the resel'vation, CalTiages which last yeal' frequently obstructed' tbe movement of troops fl'om the camp l'l'opel' to the genel'al parade and drill gl'ound, can now be beld oft the space which must be tl'aversed by the troops, The great inconvenienee and delay experienced dUl'iug the encampment of 1892, from the above difficulty, bas been obviated by this change.
2, The removal of six mess halls, with theil' accompanying buildings, from the lowel' gl'ound at tlJe southern
11"
end of the site to the high gl'ound neal'er the town of riflin. During a rain sbower of even moderate severity,
these low grounds were t1oode<1, and tents in tlJat loc~Llity wel'e tbereby l'enderec1 uninhabitable. ,\Then sufficient funds are available these lower gronnels can be pl'opel']y dmined and gl'adeu; tbe space thus prepared will aftord ample facility fol' the location of stables for caval)'y horses. 'l'his work should be done before next season.
3. The sbingling of all build~ngs, wbicb, dcHing tho amp of 1892 leaked so badly as to be at times unserviceable.
4. The constl'lwtion of a commodious and well appointed guard house, of-wood, with aeovered porch, ten feet wiele, running tho entil'e length, forty feet, of th building. This house was a great convenience, and a decided improvement ovel' tho tentage used tor the purpose in fOl'mcl' encampments. The porch is sutJicient for formations of the gual'd in inelement weather,
5, 'rho bnilding of a siuk in the "ear of each company stl'eet. U util this mlH;h neelled alteration, tw commands were assigned to each si!)k. "Vith a building fo)' each organization, mOl'e tbrough l'espollsibibty for its care and condition is possible of enforcement.
6. Widening and improving tho I'ifle ran go, markers, sheltel', butts, ete., and tho construction of a suitabl building neal' the butts fol' the stol'age and safe keeping of targets, target material and ammunition. '1'h lattor altemtions have given the State a very fair mnge
f 600 yards. Oertain other improvements looki ng to perm~tnency and absolute safety are strongly l'e00mmended by tbe Iospectol'-General of Small Arms Prac. tice, which should, and it is hoped ,'viiI, be made before the next season's use.
'I'he success accomplishod at the encampment of this
16
year;s vel'Y gl'ati(ying; tile illcl'easo in the pel'iod of a tOUI' of llnty fl'om seven to ten clays was attended with many advantages; lessons al'e better leal'l1ed, and what is grasped is hel(1 on to mOl'e tinnly, and is thorofore mOl'e lasting.
)'[uch impl'ovemcnt W,IS manifest in the llAlHtI exercises; in some cases cCl'taiu new steps forwal'd were made with good rosults. All tl'OOPS this year were l'equil'e<l to put up their own tentage.
The contmst uetweoli the late enenmpment and those of 1801 und1892, was very mal'l<.ed; all of which clearly demonstrates the wisdom of the State ill appropljating money fol' the maintcnance of the troops and for tbeil' practical tl'aining.
In this connection I desil'e to call attention to the pl'esent condition and ehamctel' of the genel'a! pal'ade. The gl'Ounc1 in front of, and fl'olll abont 100 to 200 yards fl'om the gual'd house 01' main entrance, is much lowel' tha,n the gencnt! sul'faco, and interferes with the movement of the tl'OOpS, pal'ticularly lal'ge cornnlan<ls. This parade is the only space available fol' gcneral formations and l'e,iews. 'rhe sharp slope fl'om camp at the point namec[ leaves a marked c1epl'ession, which cannot bc used; consequently the parade is rcstricted to a comparatively lUlI'l'OW field. The lower gl'ound should be filled in and the parade as a whole properly gl'aded. At present the gl'Ound lIsed is at many points broken with irregularities and holes, which should be rcmoved or filled, as the mal'l:h and manceuVl'e of troops is much hindered thel'eby.
'I'AIWET PHACTIOg,
Small al'nlS practice was assiduously conducted during the annual encampment, and with vel'y gratifying results. It eonstituted the chief attractioll for
17
officers and men, and was engaged in with the liveliest interest. Small al'ms firing is carried on strictly in accordance with a carefully <ligested system, which, with
ertain modifications, made necessary by altel'ed conditions, is subst~1ntially that of the regular service, 1'his charactel' of instl'Uction haR become fully established' its continuance will be anticipated by the troops; its <liscontinuance would be a serious setback. During th eason there have qualified seven sharpshootel's an<l thirteen marksmen, with improve<l figure!:! all along the line.
r invite attentioll to the fnll report of the luspector-
eneral of Small Arms Practice, appendix 11, for detailed <lata and information.
EXAMINATION OJ!' OF.l!'lClms.
uring the preceding year a step has been taken which may be said to mal'1< an epoch in the military system of the State, and. this is the written examination of all candidates for commissions in the volunteer forces by board of officers. Such examinations are required lJy the act of the General Assembly, approved December 23, 1892, and lJl'Ol1lulgated in General Ordel's No.4, February 14, 1893, hom this ofnce. The scheme has been giveu a fair trial, and I am free to say that it has been attended with the most encouraging and promising results. With a very few exceptiolls, candidates have freely and without murmnl' undel'gone the tests imposed, whicb, in sevet'al instances, IJave been very searching and trying. I cannot refmin f['Om commenting upon the very cbeed'ul and willing manner in which the officers, who have served as recorders, have performed the arduous dnties required of them, and I take this occasion to thank them and to commend them for their Jabors. The seveml boards have, with scarcely an exception, pel'formed their duties in a very
2
IX
satisfactory manner; indeed it might be said tbat in a few cases boards bave been seemingly rather sever". The system is not yet woat it is hoped Lo make it; its scope is now limited to the dl'ill f'egnlations, manual of guard duty and some few features of administration, but it covers all the ground that, for the present, it is practicable to inquire into.
The military code should he known to all officers, but until very recently it has not been in a compiled form, even now, tbere being no money available,jn this office fOI' its pUl'chase and distribution, it is not within ertain reach of officers generally.
Likewise regulations-adequate guides for officcrs in matteI's of administL'~Ltion and their duLies in general bave yet to be fully prepared ~tlJd promulgated . .l!'unds are wanting for this pnrpose. It is hoped to embrace these essential features at a snbseqnent date.
As has just been said, certain oxaminations have been rather too rigid, and wbile tltey have covel'ed no 1I10l'e than the required ground, this has been done by so great a nnmber of questions under various sub-beads as to make tbem fnlly as mucb a trilll of elldnl'ance as a test f knowledge on tbe part of candidates. A few comprehensive, practical quefltions under each sub-head, free from all technicalities, but relating to genel'al principles, would sutlice; such is contemplated in the Mders prescribing rules fOl' the examinations. The errol', if any, bas been on the safe side. It is proposed to make examinations mo)'e uniforl1l in ~tll pal,ticulal's, and to rendel' them, pel'haps, less bUl'ueoflome to certain candidates; tbis as SOOll as the wol'1< of this otlice will permit. 'Vith the exceedingly limitcd clel'ieal assistance afforded this department, progress in other than routine work must be very slow and gradual. The desired ends, it is thought, may be attained by laying
19
dowll preeise forms, based 011 the expel'ience witb tbe subjcct since its inauglll'ation, which knowledge bas been indispensable, and by publishing for the infol'matioo of candidates, extended lists of questions under various sob-heads examined into. Guides will thus be furnished boards, and some indication given the appli-cants as to thc real character and extent of the requirements.
ARMAMENT AND E(~UIPMENT.
Since thc rendition of the last annual report, all infantl'yof the Georgia Voluntecl's has been armed with thc .45 calibre Spl'ingticld rifle; thc cavahy, with tb cxceptioll of olle tl'OOp, with tbe .45 calibre Springfield carbine. The infantry is now equipped with the rcgulation knapRack, haversack, can teen and cal'tridge belt. 'rhe majol'ity of the cavalry now havc the caltridge belt. No changes have been made in the armament of thc artillery.
DLuing the pl'esent fiscal year it is hoped to pl'ocure .campaign hats alld canvas leggins for thc entire fOI'ce; to completc thc equipment of the cavalry and al,tillcry; to provide the artillcry with the Gatling gun of small al'm calibl'e, as a weapon better adapted for the needs of the State, and mOl'e serviceable, mOI'e effective and decidedly morc economical than the regulation pattei'll of field piece. The McKeever canridge box and black leather waist belt of the infantry alld certain troops of .cavalry, and the revolver of the cavalry, will be called in; the cal'tridge box bei ng replaced by the cartridge belt, and the revolvel' discarded as an unnecessary w'eapon, save fOI' the oflicel's and eel'tain non-eommissioned otlicers
f each branch. Thc Gcorgia Vol Ull teers, colored, are armed with the
20
50 calibre Springfield rifle; one company with the 186:> model muzzle 10c\diog musket.
During the comse of the present year the arms of several companies of the Georgia Volun teeI':; have been thoroughly overhauled and put in complete repail' at the National Armor,)', Spl'ingfield, Mass.
This subject was presented f01' the consideration ot the Secretary of WfLr tho beginning of the present calendar year, and was favorably considered by him, In each case application was made and authorit,y secured for the desil'ed repairs. The cost of repail's is deducted from the annual Feueral appl'opriation for the State; the cost of transportation is borne by the individnal companies, as the State provides no money for such purposes. This cost has been found to be yel'y small. The arms I'epaired and l'etul'l1ed are virtually as goou as new, and are supplied with the latest model of sight.
It would be a very economical move if all the arms which arc wom and out of good condition wel'e sent to the National Armory and put in order. All that is necessHr'y is fOl' the State to pay the cost of transportat.ion, ten to fifteen cents pel' piece, The pl'OCLll'ement of new arms from the general govel'l1ment involves tht' absMption of a very considemble portion of the annual allotment, which, by the means suggested, would b left available foe eqnipmellts, quadermastel's' supplies blankets, ovel'coats, LIn i fMillS, clothi ng, and other military sto,'es, and in a comparatively short period til force woulu be adcqucLtely armed, equipped and clothed for field service. It is also to be bome in mind that in a very few yeal's the present Springfield rifle will be laid on the sbelf, and a more modern rifle put in tbe hand of troops. It therefore would seem a questionable policy to overstock tbe State with the Springfield rifle.
r desire in this general connection to draw attentioll
21
to a condition of aftait,s which should be remedied. ,Vhen al'nlS and other stol'es are forwarded from the capitoL to commands ovet' the State tbey are unavoidably sent freighted with the cost of tt'ansportation. No fund is avaiLabLe for paying these legitimate expenses, The troops beal' this burden. It should be taken from theit shoulders. I wouLd therefore l'ecommend that an appt'Opl'iatiou be ma~le for the above purposes, namely, teallspol'tation of arms to the nationaL armol'y for repair, and return, and transportation of stores from the capitol to the troops and the retul'l1 of old at'rns and quipments. The first item is speeial and would 1I0t recur; the approximate sum of $700 is requit'ed therefor' the second item is ot'dinary, and for it at least $300 anIlUa]]y should be made available.
A movement is being made in this office to deset'ibe .and prescribe cleady and precisely tho armament, equipment and uniform of each arm of scrvice of the volu11teeI' forces of the State, A fatigue Ot' undress uniform has bcen pt'eset'ibed; this does not, however, include overcoat, blanket and cet'tain other articles of clothinp;. By his equipment or uniform a Georgia Volunteer cannot now be identified; that is, not by what articles he
houLd have. It is proposed to publish defi.nite regulations 011 the subject, and with this aim at uniformity and system in view, various otlieers of expet'ience of the difFerent arms have been consulted and theil' wishes and opinions obtained. It is desit'ed to place the matter in its entit'ety before a board of OffiCCl'S at an early date fOt' final detet'miuation and recommendation, With an established standard a:i a guide, the needs of each .organization will b.e known at all times, and can be fully and mOt'e expeditionsly snpplied, the wot'k of this office will be immeasurably curtailed and simplified, .and COt1Jmands will be saved the trouble of making
.,2
requisitions, as their necessities will be anticipated il1' tbis department; there will result uniformity and a arefully conaidcl'cd policy and system.
RES PONSI13IL fTY ]"OR MILI'l'AIW STORE".
Ulldel' the accepted construction of existing laws I'elating to the subject, captains of companies are required to give bonds for the care and preservation of arms and othel' milital'y stol'es issued to them for the nse of theil' ol'ganizations. In the event of the resignation or withdl'awal fl'om sel'vice of this officel', responsibility is not tl'ansfelTed until his successor is appoiuted and qualifies. The operation ofth is law works injustice to many an oflicer, as he may wait months before he is relieved of his accountability by the cancellation of his bond, In the meantime the property is beyond his control and supervision, and is being used uy others, upon whom is imposed only moml responsibility, I recommend that the Jode be so altered as to authorize, in such instances, th tl'allsfer, upon duly executed bond, of public pl'operty tothe oflicer next in "ank on duty with such company,
MIlATARY CODE AND Im(lUl~A'rIONS.
I am pleased to be able to state that a long felt want among the troops has in 'g)'eat measure been supplied since my last report. I refer to the coditication of tho. militaty laws of the State, Private 'V, 'vV, Gordon, Jr" Troop A, Fifth regiment, Georgia Cavalr'y, attorney at law, bali, at no small sacl'iti.ce, collated and compiled in ~onvenientshape, the military laws of force in this State, togethel' with certain regulations published ill general' orders hom this office for the govern ment of the troops. At least two copies of this manual should be placed uy the State in the bauds of every orgauizatioll; the sarno'
23
to remain the propel'ty of the State and to be accounted for as is other public pl'opel'ty. This should be done without de1a,y, and I submit an estimate of $175 for the purchase and distribution, and recommend an appropriatioll for the same,
It is contemplated to publish as soon as practicable, omprehensive aud well-defined regulations for the information, discipline and guidance of the vulunteer fOJ'ces ; these J'egulations to include snch necessary manuals ot instl'uction, guat'd, target practice, courts-mal,tial 1-1I'actice, llOspita1 corps drill, military administration in general, etc., as are not embraced in the so-called drill reglations for the three branches of the service. This department will be prepared to submit fol' considel'ation such a system of regulations when the requisite mOlley for pl'inting is assl1l'ed. Rtlgulations are essential in tb conduct of administl'ation. ~o ol'ganized command 01' mi Iital'y system can he efI'ecti ve withou t eflicien t administration; without proper guides for action. The tl'OOPS ha,ve satisfactol'i1y proved themselves to be anxious to len-rn, and willing to pel'foml all duty demanded of them; tlley need only to be told how and Wh011. Not less than $500 will be I'equircd to accomplish tllis desired end, and this amount iH submitted as an estimate for an al)propl'iation.
AR;\IORY RENT.
Attention is l'espectfully invited to a vel'y heavy bnrden which is borlle by the troops of the State, and which, in jnstice to the cause for their maintenance and in partial recognition of theIl' continued sacrifices, should be assumed or provided for by the State. In Georgia no armol'ies al'e built and owued by the Stat", nOLo are such buildings rented by the State. Expenses therefor ha\'e been and are paid out of the
24
pockets of the officers and men, and in certain localities they fall heavily. Au armory is thc pl:we for the safe keeping of arms and other property entrusted to an organization; it also afrol'ds a wom for the drills and forinstructioo, for the meetings of the command, and it must bc properly heated and lighted. It is but reasonable that tbe State should lend help and encouragement, The day of the "fuss and feather" soldier has passed, and I am proud to say that the Georgia Volunteer has become a soldier in fact as well as name, a bnlwark and defence of the State, alld I am satisfied that he can be fully relied upon in emergencies, which the wisest cannot foresee 01' foretell, It is but simple justice tbat he should be furnished with means at least for the proper keeping of the weapons he must use sbould the State call for his services; and be should be given facilities fOl' necessal'y drills and preparation, If the State cannot supply these needs directly by building al'mories, t11e end may be partially accomplished and economically, by pwviding funds fo1' armory rent and other absolutely necessary incidental expenses.
The a.ssistance thus rendered sLonld, of cou\'se, be conditional, and be based UpOll strict and well defined requil'ements, such as a certain minimum percentage of attendance of officers and enlisted men at monthly drills and exercises-these drills to embrace such features as may be directed by the Governol'. No payment of armory rent should be made until every required conditioll is fulfilled, nOl' unless the efficiency of the ol'ganization is maintained.
The fuud thus accruing in the hands of company commanders should be accounted for under sncb regulations as tbe Governor may prescribe, and all expenditures therefrom shoulo be subjected to his approval.
.. 6
A qual'teely allowance of at least $25, or an annual allowance of $100 pel' company, is urgeutly recommended for the above puepose.
An~IINIS'fRA'fTON
onsiderable progress bas been made during the year in the introduction and establishment' of some features of military administration, pmctil'ally in the adoption aud nse of several new blank forms and books of record. The subject, howevel', is as yet in its infancy with a great majol'ity of oflicel's, The chief difficulty is, of course, the want of suitable regulations, already refen'ed to in this report. Another hindrance, and a very embanassll1g and annoying one, is the seeming indift'erence of many officers, who al'e very careless about rendering I'equired ,'eturns and reports to this oitice,-being neither prompt nor accurate. The most irnlJortant retul'U called for is a quarterly I'epol't of stl'ength, etc" and ill securing it the Q'I'eatest trouble has been experienced.
:Many quarterly l'etUl'ns for June 30th were not received at this office until in Septemher, and then only after mucu correspondence and consequent additional labol'in tuis office, Even at this date the quarterly rctnl'lls f()t, June 30th from certain company commanders have not been received, and fOl' this reason alone tho annual retul'l1 of the volunteer fOl'ces is not included in this report, The usc of tllese hlanks is an innovation, but their vital importance cannot be questioned, as it is only from these reports that infol'mation relative to the strength and condition of the troolJ::; can be obtained.
rrhis department has been disposed to view these hOI,tcomings leniently, I'ealizing that officers are not .accustomed to the prepaeation of the blanks, and that
26
adp:lioistmtioo of any character is a plant of slow and gradual growth, requiring in its development much patience aud watchful care. It is hoped, however, that all
f!iceL's will realize and appreciate how much extra work is involve(l by neglect or delay in official reports and correspondence, and that they' will contL'ibute to the relief of the depaL'tment by attention to, and proOlptuess in forwarding, rcquil'ed retUL'llfi and reports.
WORK IN 'rllB AD.JUTAN'l' AND IJIi"Sl'ECTOI~-GENEltAL'S O.b'I'ICE.
In closing this report I am constrained to pl'esent for considcration a LL'ief statement of the amount of work attending the conduct of afFairs of this office, and of the pressing need of gl'oater clerical assistance.
The Volunteer fOL'CO of the State has become a living institution, one also of no mean proportions, uut its life and development demands constant attention and work. To maintain its efficiency a close touch with its various organizations, its offieerH and men mLlst be preserved, not alone au oc(:asions of their duty in camp, but at all times. TheiL' instrllction in the varied features of military trainilJg must be directed and snpervised. Unless the contact is kept np, unless unceasing interest is shown in them and theiL' needs, their wel. fare, indifFerence soon prevails, and theil' interest lessens and lags. Any body of tL'OOpS, however good, if not watched and caL'ed for, and not encoul'aged, will (luickly deteriorate. This all requires a vast amount ofuol'respondence with the numerous commanders throughout the force, the keeping of reeol'ds, the collation and coml,ilation of essential data, the renditioo of retuL'lls aOtl reports; in fine, the prosecution of an effective system of administration. And it is to be remarked that thislwork will be increasing, owing to the desired introduction of new bnt indispensable and
27
bet.ter Juethods than have prevailed in the past, and to the contemplated enhLl'gement of the fOl'ce, as stated at the beginning of this report,
MOl'eOVel', by reason of inadequate appropriations fOl' the :tixed expenses of this office, much manuallab.or and time is involved iu the pl'eparation of ol'del's, gene,'al and special, circulars of instl'Uction, etc., which might othel'\vide be obviated by pl"inting.
The promulgation of an order or ci I'culal' letter frequently carries with it much labor, not shown Oll its fac". The seal'ch fOl' and the compilation of necessary data I'equil'es more time than the mere writing of the communication.
At'this date the nnmber of spamte company organizations, including the Georgia Volunteers and the Georgia Volunteers, colored, is 81, and 20 new commands are awaiting admission. Theil' admission means the examination of over 60 officers; anu after being 1'0ceived mnoh additional correspondence will result, as theil' officers will neod instruction) which those now in commission are supposed to possess. DUl'ing the yea]' now closing 1095 letter's have been writton, copied alJd addressed, 118 special orders and 13 general ol'del's issued and distl'ibuted. In addition, nnmerOus ciroulal's of instructions have been forwarded to the several commands. Furthermore, a great uumber of letters of inquil'y, relative to servico in Indian wars and othel' subjects, have been l'eceived and answred. Of these no recol'd haf\ been kept.
For propel' presel'vation, and fOl' convenience in retence, all lettol's and commnnications, all l'OpOl'tS and retUl'llS, receivod must be bl'iefed, rocol'dod and fiJec1r Since January last 709 letters of a striotly mili tal'y pur. port and impodance h~tve thus been handled, This numbel' does not inolude the l1Umel'OUS reports and 1'e-
28
tnrns required to be I'endet'ed from tbe various commands of the fOt'ce.
In the distribution of ordel's much mOl'e work is required than is apparent on the surface, Several copies of each must be prepared in ordel' that the same may sUl'ely and promptly reach the peoper officers, as a copy must be placed in the hands of every otlicer or command llftected by it. A general order usually promulgates a regulation, and as such concel'l1s the entire force. It must be fOI'warded to eac]) organization, to each commander. Likewise, in the case of a circular lettel' of general import, it must find its way to every
ilicer concerned. In all such cases, the time spent in addressing envelopes becomes a serious mattel'.
Siuce my last report, as pointed out above, the system of examination of officel's has been inaug'urated, and has added very considerably to the usual J'outine. When a candidate is ordered up for examination a special order is issued; several copies of this ordel' must be writteu, howevel', as the board of examinel's must be notified as well as the applicant for a commissioll,
Again, a careful and accurate record must be kept of all communications, of whatever chal'acter, leaviug the ofHce.
In order to secure the returns and I'eports required from the troops, to cuny out the requirements of the
nlistment act, various and numel'ous blank forms must be mailed to the several commanders; and upon their reudition and receipt in this office, no small amount of Jabol' is involved in their vet'ification, and if found il1corred they mnst be returned for the proper altet'atiol1s,
As reflected in the foregoing subdivision of this report, many officers bave been seemingly careless in forwarding certain I'etums; the consequent extl'll labor
29
thl'Own on the office is great. The prepamtion of the an nual report of this departmen t is a mattei' of momen t, so far as work is concemed, particularly the register of the Georgia Volunteers, and the Georgia Volunteers, olored, and the tabulated statement of lineal rauk. This work alone has taken every spare hOlll' of the office for fully two months, It has been hoped to put into practice fnrther and more effective methods of administl'ation than those casually referred to above; their introduction is very essential in the building up of a military system. The progreRs in this direction tb us far has been nccessat'i ly slt)w, fOI' the reasons cited; theil' future prosecution will be s~riously bindel'ed, if not cbecked entirely, for want of clerical assistance. A very great amount of the work of this department, heretofore, mauual and that of dil'cction and snpervision, has been done by Lieutenant C. B. Sattel'lee, Third United States Artillery, the Acting Assistant Adjutant and InslJeetor-General. Ilis entire time canuot be given to office wOI'k, as the vel'y important feature of annual inspections must be continued. It is believed that this officer (Jan best fulfil the purposes of his detail to this State by as close a contact with tIle troops as possible, and by pOl'sonally dil'ecting them in their instrnction. Routine work of tbe office should lJe doue by other than him.
Tbe only clerical assistance available in this office is that of the one clerk who is employed in the department of Public Buildings and Gl'Ounds; bis work in tile office of the Adjutant and Inspector-Genoml is in tbe great.est measure gratuitous. For him to propOl')y attend to the clerical duties of both departments is a physical irnpossibi lity; mOI'eover, a man cao not be expected to give his time and labol' without some C0111jJensatioll; "the laborer is worthy of his bire,"
30
DUL'iug the past year the wode in the Department of Public Buildings and Grounds hus included the 'Nriting ,or preparation of 149 insul'al1ce' policies, 1,152 checks and 1,152 receipts.
In view of the foregoing statemen t of facts, I feel justified in asking for a clerk in the office of the Adjutant and Inspector-General, and eamestly recommend that a reasol1able amount be appropriated, at least
1,200, for his salary. Ver,Y respectfully, YOUI' obedient servant, JNO. MaIN'rosH KELL, Adjutaut and Inspectol'-General.
