ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REUNION.
Letter of Regret From J,f Davis.

DALLAS, Tex, August NEARLY twen-
tyyctcrau organizations are represented
at the eX-Conlederate reunion. There are
also sp, cIal headquarters for eX-Union
soldiers, and the most iratcrnal relations
are manifested by the survivors Of the two
armies This morning there were fully
1000 men in camp, and the city was
packed with visitors. The number at the
grounds was yariOusly estimated at from
1000 to 10000 Colonel Z. ). Mitchell,
President OF the eX-Couiederate AssoCia-
ton, delivered the address of wei.
come, which was responded to
by Governor Ireland. Most strenu.
Gus efforts were made TO secure
the presence Of jeff Davis, the society
going so far as to place special train
and palace car at his disposal; but at his
agc-seycuty-SiXye ars--his friends feared
that the excitement Of the meeting would
prove fatal to him, and he was prevailed
upon to remain away. He sent a letter
in which he said: 81 send YOU my warm
est congratulations OF the hardy old set
tiers, who against desperate odds, won the
battles Of the war for independence. OF
the veterans who served in the war with
Mexico, how few wait on the verge of eter-
nifty. 1t was rule among Romans to re-
ward Generals returning successful from
foreign wars, butnCyer to granta triumph
Tor victory won in internCCine STRIFE.
With Us the rule has been reversed, and
the veterans Of the war with Mexico
have been the subjects of special dis
elimination. The history of Texas is
full of heroic deeds from the Sclf-sacri-
ticing Rand who peris he'd at the Alamo,
to the defense OF Sabine Pass,
which for integrity and extraordinary
success must, think, he admitted to
have no parallel inancient rmodern war
fare. Texas is now boldly stridlug on
ward III the Conquests of peace, and
can not wish for her a brighter future
than that in agriculture, mining, manu-
| featuring, educational, social and relg-
ious efforts, she may gather wreaths Of
! oak worthy to m.ng.e with the fade
less laurel that decks her brow.
Deprived of the happiness Of meeting,
probably for the last time, the old set
tiers and Confederates in their re-
union and of receiving the friendly well
come and feeling the warm grasp OF their
hands, send to them my earnest prayer
that every good and perfect gift may be
vUuChsafed to Them
The name of Mr.. Davis was enthusiast
ticuily cheered and his absence pro-
duced deep regret, as many came long
distance expecting to meet him.
