Camp George H. Thomas, Chick.
aumauga, June 19.-This is a sweet,
peaceful Sunday. To look about
one could hardly believe a conflict of
nations is going on. All is quiet and
coutented hero. The birds are sing.
ing their sweet carols in the virgin
forest. 'The horses are pawing, as if
seeking for something to do. The
soldier boys are lolling about in
groups, discussing camp life; oflicers
.a 1ivates .- putting on their
best to go to "tI city," and others
are making ready \o go to Divine
services or to take %n\ \xeursion about
the acres and acres \ if ground here,
in which nearly 50!PO troops are
camped.
Dr. Wilson, a di'4nguished divine
from Abbevillo, 4nd one who had
r' tdlnt /Adler, conducted the
ervices tlifs morning in conjunction
with Chaplain Bussey. The zer
vices were very well attended.
The soldier boys have been hero
now for very nearly two weeks, and
Q they have had very little opportunity
to visit the neighboring camps or to
sve the beautiful park. It was too
N,uch of a task to walk over the park,
a it has not been long that the
companies have had their teams of
mules. This morning there were
about .half a dozen excursion parties
to go out in the company wagons.
The four mules of the company worn
hitched up to the large wagon and it
was an easy matter for twelve or
fifteen of the "boys" to have com
fortablo seats for the excursion.
Some of the oflicers and a few
privates obtained leave of absence to
the "city"-that means Chattanooga.
Col. Alston can grant six-hour leaves
of absence to his men, and officers re
port their absence to him, leaves not
being required for short absences in
the ease of comnmissioned officers.
Some of the men do ..c under
stand that there is a different ordel
of things here from what there was
.:at Columbia, where the Colonel had
entire authority. The red tapo bore
is appailling. All requests for leave
of absonce for over six hours have to
go through brigade headquarters
andl those applications have to b<
made in tinme for the rod tape to bt
relm)od.
15 sOU!TH CAROLINA STrINQY Z
South Carolina no doubt is
great State. It has done very many
noble things, and it stands high it
tihe sisterhood of States. but it i:
wofully behind-hand in its care anil
attention to the militia service. I
is perhaps the only State, which has
troops here, which does practical!
nothing for the support of his troops~
The expendliture of the $8,000 is
mere bagatello. Troop aifter troo
has come here practically with fuil
eqIuipmenlt. It was not obtainct
from the Federal Goveriment, bui
from the State to which the trool
belonged. It was so with the troop
that earno from MnassachuisettIs, fron
New York, fr-om Ohio, from Illinois
,But why continue the list, unlessi
bo1 to empha)ltsizo how very littl,
South Carolina has done for lie
troops. Yesterday the Massachusett
volunteers here received checks fo
$18 each as a gift from their St.at
This was to supplement wvhat th
men01 would b)0 paidI by tihe Fede
Government. WVh t wvould be though
of a proposition to givo half a mil
lion dollars to the militia of SouL
Y Carolina-the men0 who resp)ond(e
to tihe call of the State? Sta'to afte
St ate here has hadl its hosp1itali equit:

State here has hlad its band supplie

t.hat South Carolina has done hi

must he ret urned wit hout dlola
(lvernor 10hlerhoe hats advanced th
' moneOy for mobilization of the troopi
which tile F"ederal Government hi
promised shall bo reiuibursm(, and
about $300 has been raised for the
band fund, w)-mn about $500 was
wanted.
There seems to be a diforent way
that. most States [uve about doing
these things, and most of the Stat..s
show a prido in their military organ
izations and t.y to mako a good
show when they come here, but it is
evidently the opinion of 0South Caro.
lina atd some of the other States
that this is a fight of the Ntional
Government. and that the States
have done their share when they
supply the men. 'T'hat may be
1 very true, and may be the correct
viow.
WilY SOL)iasi WANT MONEY.
If the mon here, even the privates,
want to save money, they can do so.
Tho privates are paid $15.50 per
month, and are given all of the cloth
ing they are expected to uso as Fol
diers. All of the money they are
expected to spend is for their person -
atl pleasure or for the luxuries which
they think they need.
Tho soldiers who go to Chatta
nooga have to havo money, as a trip
to "the city" certainly costs money.
To begin with, unless you walk, it
costs halir a dollar to go to anid frot.,
the station, aid the round trip fare
between1 Lyf0 nid Chat,tanooga is
half a dollar, and a meal in "the
city" costs at. least that mtuch.
A 1IFFERENT CLASS OF MEN.
This great gathering of soldiers
hemo is having the effect of bringing
men from different, parts of the coun
try together. It is giving the South
ern boys a (lantco to see something
of their Northern neighbors and the
boys from the far W\est. One thing
which has struck the m11en here as
well as gen eral officers, is that the
Southern boy is not so profano as
the average Northern and Western
volunteer.
Another noticeable distinction, and
one which was emphaimsized by a
Massachusetts mian1 who was here
yesterday, is how ditf'erently men
from diferent sections take cursing
and abusive epithets. Io said that
he had noticed since he was here that
whenever onl( man ealled another a
certaiin thing that. it m11eant a fight,
whereas with them it amounted to
not.hmag much for one soldier to call
another by the unmentionable epi
thot. The other day a Massachusetts
man slapped a Missouri mai on the
back, apparently in good humor,
and called him by the objectionable
niame, and1( the next thlin g lhe knew
ho was on the floor bleed ing.
It was perhaps v'ery nmitc the
saime way with thu men wvho used
this language towards some of thle
South Carolina boys. They may not
have intended any liarmt, b,uc. the
Carolina 1)10ood( did not. take I.imot to
ask what was meant. This is one in.
stance ini which experiencie will have
to be the teacher.

Washington. June 22.-Today,
just. a week after the United States
troops left Tortugas, they began to
Llisembark on Cuban soil, landing
in formation at two points so as to
attack Santiago in the rear and at
the sides, with the navy to help the
work in front. Thus, the military
invasion of Cuba may bo said to have
fairly begun, for though the United
States marinas wern tht first of tho
regular forces to land upon Cuban
soil, their purposo after all was not
invasion, but the establishmont of a
naval base and a baso for a cable
station, in both of which tohey wore
emmiontly suecssful. To the regn
lar troops was left the beginning of
the formidable task of invading Cuba

statement was authorized that it maid
the troops were landing and that

Salt Lake City, June I0th. ---Near
ly a thousand delegates have boon
appointed to attend the Internation
al Mining Congress which meets in
thiscity on July (th, 7th, 8th and 9th.
This does not include the delegates
at large from Colorado, Wyoming,
Califor,ia, and seven other States
which have indicated their intention
of being representod but have not
yot announced their appointments.
The delegates, of whose appoint.
mont olicial notice has boon received,
como from twonty-four different.
States and 188 cities. Most of
them are directly interested in some
branch of mining, and all of them
are personally concerned in the ob.
jocts of the Congress. They come
from these States: Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Florida, (eorgin,
Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Ken.
tucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis.
souri, Montana, Nebraska, Now Jor
soy, Nevada, Oregon, Pounsylvania.
Tonnessoo, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin,
Wyoming. Beides these ther will
be a strong attendance from Canada,
offlcial dologatos from the govern.
mont of Mexico and consular of com
normial representatives from a ium
her of other foreign governmenIs
which have been invi;.ed through the
State department.
The objects of the Congress are
pnrely practical in charaet or. 'oli
tical subjects and discussions are out
of order in its sessions. It. is intend.
ed to promote the intorests of ill on
gaged in inir,ing pursuits whether as
investors, managers or laborers. I n
aid of this purpose, one of its princi
pal aims is to aocare the establish.
ment of a national department of
mines with a cabinet ofileer at its
head. It will discuss the desirabili
ty of revising and codifying the
the ninoral land laws; of opening
the Spanish land grants to prospoc.
tors and minors; it will discuss the
desirability of mutual bonding priv.
ileges for mino shipments and sip
plies between Canadian and Ameri.
can points; it will discuss problems
of mine nanagemont, ore treateuont
methods, relation of railroads to
inineral dovelopuent and it number
of other subjects of broad general
interest to minors. Every branch of
the industry will be represented
among tho delegatos and every re
gion of the country, so the pro
gramme will take the widest rango
possible within practical limits.
The Congress, however, will not
be limited to business rIatters solely.
The peopilo of Salt I 4ake have givenci
