18th and goth OF November.
From information received from cOrreSpon-
dents and other sources the meeting promised
to be the largest gathering of the kind since the
war. General Grant, and every officer of dis
tinction who had ever served in the army,
would certainly attend the reunion, and invita-
lions had been extended to the governors and
staff Of every state in the union to be present
and help make the occasion gala one, 1t was
estimated that from 10000 to $4,000 strangers
would visit Washington and witness the ceremO-
MES. 1t was further stated that the decoration
OF the city should be made an object OF para
mount Importance, and the reception accorded
the distinguished visitors be OF a character due

citizens has been called for next Monday even
ing at Wizards Hall, to take the proper steps in
the matter, and the various subcommittee of
