are ia the hands Of the Editor OF the
J0uNsAL:
eve have had plenty Of officers re-
unions since the war OF the rebellion, but
no soldiers reunion yet Some Of the
soldier, Of Rutland, however, have been
making plans for one to be held there on
,hc 9th, 5lh, aud stb days OF August next
and the citizens 81 that cuterprisiug town
sire subscribing literally IN aid Of the
scheme, 1t Is proposed that the veterans
. In every town in the state shall gather
o az convenient points and enlist in com
panies, and they be formed into battal-
iuus by rounlie. They Will go to Rutland
aud back for fare one way, 90 into camp
p on the fair ground, tents aud straw being
, furnished gratis, and can carry their own
ations or buy them there, "a eacs shall
choose. There are no assessments aud no
/. expenses bnt Just ones own personal eN-
penses, which may be very light under
the above named arrangements There
will be no duty to be performed, no drill
nothing but to eat, drink (waterl, and be
= merry. Probably there will be a guard
mount aud dress parade, just to see how
Il will seem, and there will be speaking,
, singing Of old songs, telling Histories aud
1 possibly a little Of that amusement which
/ four men used to perform on a blanket
+ when they lacked a table. In short it win
, be three days Of friendship with the old
Giends--throe days of recreation to men
who have earned such rest both during
and since the war, We predict that there
, viii be a gathering OF several thousand.
At an informal meeting of soldiers held
in Burlington on the ith, to take prelimi-
measures to promote the purpose, there
was much spirit and enthusiasm mani
tested. Battalion commanders, who for
the purpose Of facilitating enlistments
and organization have already been APP
pointed, and will furnish all detailed in
formation in their respective counties.
