the public prints, the delegates from various Sec
tions of the State met in Charleston on Thursday
last for the purpose of organizing State Associa-

preserye the records of the late war; and do justice
to the achievements of the Confederate army. IL

on reference to the list of delegates but we do not

made by the Charleston papers, and will merely
