Reunion of the Veteran Officers and Soldiers at
Montpelier.

! hcuHIoh OF the veteran Officers and Soldiers nj
Montpelier.
/ Special Correspondence National Tribune.
/ MoNTPELIER, VT. Nov The annual meet
lngo the Vermont oiiiccrsand soldiers Reunion
took place in this city last Monday, and was
very largely attended by many of our most
prominent men, indicating that those who
served their country well in time of war are
those who in time Of peace do most to benefit
/ their country in the walks Of civil life. The
following officers were unanimously reelected
to the respective offices they have so acceptably
filed during the past year: President, Major
James $. Peck. Of Montpelier; vice presidents,
Major A. B. Valentine of Bennington, and
General f. II. Ripley of Rutland; secretary,
Adjutant Fred. Z. Smith, of Montpelier; treas
urer, General L. G. Kingsley, Of Rutland; OK
ecutive committee, General W. Y. W. Ripley,
Colonel Redfeld Proctor, and Captain Z. A.
Morse, of Rutland.
After some discussion as to the relative merits
of localities, Rutland was selected as the place
for the next meeting.
In the evening the members of the association
and their friends assembled in the Representa-
tive hall Of the State-house to listen to Lieu
and introduced the orator of the evening in
neat and clever speech. The address of Mr..
Benedict was a very valuable contribution to
the war history of our State. He dealt with
the operations of the troops Of Vermont on the
battle-felds, and painted in glowing words the
record Of their achievements. His closing words
Will meet the appreciation of all who marched
to their couutry's call: THAT we may commend
this principle TO those who follow us; that our
children, in time of need, may exhibit in lofty |
exercise, as did our forefathers, the virture |
which Webster defines as the passion which |
aims to serve ones Countrywide passion |
which in the words of the Latin poet makes it !
sweet and honorable to die for country'-for |
this we do well to meet and to fight over the
battles and chronicle the suHerings of the sol
diers of the Union"
A vote of thanks was unanimously rendered
to Mr.. Benedict for his address.
After the exercises at the State-house the
association and invited guests proceeded to the
hotel there to partalle of the annual banquet
which was presided over by Governor Barstow,
assisted by that prince of good fellows and the
