which the latter received one or more
severe blows in the face.
Judge Newman was at the station wait
ing to take the cars for Hanover Court

ton with Mr.. Merryman used language
which that gentleman considered gave him
the lie, whcreupon he attacked the Judge
with his fist and inflicted injuries which
disfigures the recipient temporarily.
Mr.. Merryman was arrested by two spc-
cial constables appointed by Judge New
man. and taken to Hanover Courthouse
and examined by magistrate and sent on
to the grand jury for assault.
Judge Newman was unable TO hold court
yesterday, and in stating that fact charac-
te-ized the affair as - brutal assault"

Southern Veterans.

The unwritten history Of the war be-
tween the States, so far as the southern
side is concerned. will hardly ever be made
familiar TO many outside OF those who were
participants in the strife. Naturally enough
time had 10 mellow the bitter feeling that
the struggle engendered before southern
soldiers took steps TO effect any organiza-
tion looking to a perpetuation OF the hard
ships, struggles, and deeds OF valor that
marked their conduct In the strife for
southern independence. The first effort Of
this sort was perfected last night when,
federate soldiers met at G22 east Broad
street, over Captain j. III. Lanes dining
rooms, and organized.
Captain Charles L. Williams, adiutant-
general on General Corse's staff, Picketts
division. was elected commander; John j.
ii. Brauer, Company II, Fifteenth Virginia
infantry, adjutant; and ID. c. Hill. Thr-
teenth North Carolina infantry, quarter
master.
The organization resolved that its name
should be the II. Il. Lee Camp, No. |, OF
Southern Veterans, and forty veterans en-
rolled their names ~ members.
On motion, the Chair appointed the fol-
lowing committee. whose duty was defined
to be the preparation OF n constitution and
bylaws to be submitted to future meet
ing for adoption: j. j. II. Brauer, Captain
James III. MARKS, Captain James Pollard,
T.. s. Cardoza, and A. T. Minor; and on
motion, the Commander, Captain Williams,
was added to the committee.
On motion, the committee was further
empowered to select an appropriate uni
form. and were authorized 10 arrange for
the time OF future meeting, besides being
requested TO communicate with Colonel {.
j. Anderson and ask the courtesy OF the
use Of the armory OF the First Virginia
regiment for holding the next meeting.
Commander Williams remarked that he
did not intend to slacken effort until he
had enrolled 600 members. and said that
he was confident Of the aid Of all ex-Con-
federates in this direction.
Referring to the adoption Of uniform,
an old veteran remarked that he had his
old rebel uniform, hat. and boots, and all,
and Captain Marks said he had in his pos
session flag presented to his company (F,
Thirteenth Virginia cavalry by the ladies
OF Prince George-the prettiest flag he
ever saw. and one that cost S400.
After exchanging views and discussing
many questions OF importance to the camp,
the meeting adjourned subject to call OF
the commander.
