NINETY Six, S. c., May 81, 1875
N. K. SULLIVAN, Eso.-My Dear Friend:
Your card in the Anderson papers of this week
meets with my hearty approval, and I have
only two suggestions to make, which think
will be approved of by yourself and others:
First, as to the time. The 21st July, the day
we were mustered into service, is rather early,
as the crops are not generally through with by
that time. Say one month later, which will
be at a time when comparatively there is moth
ing doing on the farm, and it will give all an
opportunity to attend. Second, as to the man
ner of giving the notice of the meeting. l am
decidedly of the opinion that committee
would be much the best, composed, say, of one
from each company, with one or two of the
field officers 1t would then be relieved Of
anything of an official character, and it would
strike the masses as O reg!mental matter more
than if it was ordered by me as the last COM
manding officer. I am decidedly in favor of
Walhalla, as it is as near the centre of seven
companies as any place where accommodations
can be afforded. As to the programme, would
suggest one or two or three speakers-Keith,
from Oconee, if he would consent, would be
good selection-one from your County, and one
from Abbeville-Cothran.
I would say, my dear friend, that this is
matter of great Importance to our children {;
that while number of us are Indifferent, and
do not care to hear anything about the war,
there is a day when it will be thought different
of by them, and if possible a record of every
member of the Regiment ought to be made out
and filed away in some safe place. We owe it
to our children, but, sir, we owe it to those who
freely shed their blood for the cause, and whose
bones lie scattered from here to Gettysburg,
and if we fail in this we have neglected the
most important duty of good soldier. As
you live near Walhalla, suppose you see some
of the parties there, together with the officers
of your own County, and let me hear from you.
1 am willing for anything that will insure
meeting of the Regiment.
With my kind regards to your family, believe
me your friend,
GEO. Med. MILLER

The Re.Union of Orr's Reuiment.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is with pleasure I hand you
the prompt reply of Col. Miller to my card of
the 18th Of May, suggesting meeting of the
survivors of Orr's Regiment Rifles. The 2lst
July is certainly the most appropriate as we'll
as the most leisure time that could be selected.
Those whom I have seen or heard from are
decidedly in favor of the date that the Regi-
ment was mustered into service, stating that
q month later our farmers will be engaged in
fodder gathering. Hoping the call will be
made to meet at Walhalla on the 21st of July
next I feel satisfied it will meet the approval
of all interested.

THE COMING PIASo-STEINwAY Up
RrGHT.-Messrs. Adams & Lucas, 1927
Market street, have recently succeeded
in introducing the Steinway Upright
Pianos in Wheeling, BY the sale of
several Of those superior instruments to
some of cur citizens.
The Upright Piano is, from its small,
compact form and handsome exterior,
especially suited to the boudoir, the re-
caption room and the parlors of many
houses where Grand or Square Piano
could not conveniently be g!accd.
Mcssrs Stcinway " Sons have after
long and earnest study and experiments.
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fortrs which are the most perfect instru-
mcnts of their class ever constructed.
The volume of tone is fully equal 10 any
of Steiuway's best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality is Of the most exquisite
musical character-pure, sympathetic,
and in the highest degree plable. The
durability of these new Upright Pianos,
and their capacity ofstandng in tune, is
unparalleled in the history Of piano max
ing, and evcu greater than that of the
best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much cannot be said in favor Of
these instruments; in fact, they must be
seen and heard to be appreciated.
There j. no doubt whatever that the
Steinway Upright Panic will shortly dis
place other styles of Instruments, and the
/ Messrs. Adams Il Lucas, sole agents for
the same, assure us that there is rapidly
increasing demand here for the same and
that they intend in the future to keep a
stock of them constantly on hand

/ The railroad Directors, who met the

| route last week, according to announce
ment, returned to Waynesburg last Fri

| of ten per cent and buoyant feeling
among the stockholders generally in re-
gard to the success of the road.
A CURIOUS incident occurred at Amity
last Sunday. -Four daughters of Wesley

ceeded to the Amity NJ. +. Church in a
sleigh, placing hot bricks and straw in
| the bottom of the vehicle to keep their
feet warm. When they We're in the

The FAIR GROUND TRoUBLE.-As
many Of our readers are aware some feel
ing has existed recently between the
members of the Washington cornty Ag-
ricul.ural society touching the PROPOSE
ton to sell the fair grounds in this place
and surrender the organization. Two
meetings Of the stockholders were held,
at both of which the proposition was car
ried by IL majority of those present, and
the result was the appointment of a COM
mittee TO apply to court for the neces-
sarv power to carry out the project.
Monday last the petition was
argued. when it was con-
tended for those opposed to
the sale Of the property and dissolution
of the company that sufficient public
notice of the matter had not been given,
and that there was Il majority Of the
stockholders hostile to the proposition.
In view of the differences Of opinion ex-
iSting, the court decided to determine The
matter, and directed that another meet
ing OF stockholders be held in the town
Hall On Tuesday, April 10th next at
/ o'clock p NJ, for final consideration OF
the subject, Judge Achcson remarking
that the action of the court as to dissoly-
ing the company weuld be based upon
the result of the vote.

Bishop J. j. kaim.-A cable telegram
to the Free,aam,'s Journal, of New York,
announces that the Pope has conferred

Bishop of Wheeling, made vacant by the
death of Bishop Whclan. Father Kahn
was born and raised in Martinsburg
and began his ministry here
more than eight years ago, AS pastor
of st. Joseph's Catholic Church.
He is known here by all sects and creeds,
as Il young man of remarkable ability
and excellent judgment and is respected

There is no man in this community or
elsewhere where intelligent manly effort
is respected and admired, but that Will

to this important position. His life has
been one of unselfish devotion and his
advancement is due entirely to his own
