The Re,,lnion Of 0rr's Regiment,

The proposition of Mr.. N. K. Sullivan to
secure reunion of Orr's Regiment of Rifles
during the summer has met with favorable re-
sponses from Abbeville, Oconee and Marion,
and we believe that proper efforts will secure a
large attendance. The occasion would be de-
lightful, pleasing and Instructive, and can be
made exceedingly gratifying to all who will
attend. Besides, this meeting ought to lnau-
gurate measures to preserve the records and
perpetuate the gallant deeds of this noted
command, which participated in many Of the
conflicts of the war, and added lustre to the
honorable name of South Carolina. We ex-
tract from several exchanges the annexed COM
mendatory notices of the proposed meeting:
A6bev;Ne Aledsuns It is proposed to have a
reunion of Orrs Rife Regiment at some time
during the present year. 1t will be femem-
bered that part Of the old regiment, at the
suggestion of the Aed:una, followed Minister
Orr to his grave when he was brought back
from Russia. Although that occasion was sad,
shose of the old regiment present were much
benefited by the meeting. The reunion of
Che old regiment would be most pleasant, and
we hope the movement may be successful.
sVathello Courier: We call attention to the
letter of Lieut.. N. z. Sullivan, of Anderson,
SUGGESTING reunion of Orr's Regiment of
Rifles at Walhalla or Sandy Springs, during
the present summer Four of the ten Compa-
mics comprising the Regiment were from Pick
ems District, now Oconee and Pickens Counties.
We heartily approve of the meeting, and think
1Valhalla should be the place of meeting.
First. because it is pleasant summer resort,
and affords facilities for members attending
the gathering, to enjoy visit to the noun
tains. Second, because it affords ample accom-
modations for all, which cannot be had at
Sandy Springs, and is also accessible by rail.
Third, because it is the County seat and centre
of the County furnishing the largest proper
tion of four out of the ten companies.
We will take pleasure in forwarding the
views Of Col. Miller, should he deem it proper
to request such meeting at Walhalla or else
where.
Morton Star: Capt. N. z. Sullivan, in card
in the Anderson htelzigencer, suggests re-
union of the ten companies, one Of which was
from Marion, which composed the gallant Reg
iment of Rifles, to take place during the sum-
mer at Walhalla or Sandy Springs. This will
bring together in social meeting old COM
rades from Abbeville, Anderson, Pickens, Oco-
nee and Marion, where, free from the anxietles
of war, they can revive cherished memories
dear to the soldiers heart. The first comman-
der of this, one of the best and most gallant
regiments of our STATE, was Col James L. Orr,
who died not long since in Russia, where he
represented the United States as Minister to
the Court of st. Petersburg, and the last COM
rnander was Col. G. Med. Miller, who is now
living at Ninety Six. We hope that Mckay
and Brady and the rest who survived the
lamented Fairlee and those noble sons who
rest by his side in Virginia, will see that the
"Pee Dee Guards are represented at this in
teresting occasion. It is suggested that re-
cord be taken of those who have fallen which
will be of much benefit to the historian of
after years.
