New Orleans Bulletin: The Board Of
Management of the Worlds Exposition
has set aside the sum Of $1,000 to meet
the expense incidental to a grand en-.
campmrnt of the veterans Of the late
war between the States. The arrange.
ment for the friendly meeting Of the
men Of both sides in the great struggle
| have been confded TO a joint committee
composed of six members; three from the
Grand Army ofthe Republic, and three
from the Confederate Associations of the
Armies Of Northern Virginia, and of
Tennessee. The plan is to supply quar-
tiers and rations to ex- Union and ex.Con.
federate soldiers free. To this end the
United States Government will be asked
to lend one thousand tents, camp kettles
and other quartermaster's supplies
Capt. C. Edgar Wheeler, of Topeka, Kan
sas, and Col York A. Woodward, of this
city, on behalf Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, and Messrs. E. d. Willet, COL
Louis Power, Walter H. Rogers and E.
Lilienthal on behalf Of the ex-Confeder-
ates, were the chief promoters of the un.
dertaking that is expected to strengthen
the ties of amity and good will between
the veterans OF the armies that contend
ed for the mastery twenty years ago.
The cause Of that unhappy strife has dis
appeared, never to return again, and we
all now see that we are better off with
out it. The encampment will be next to
the Exposition grounds, and will be the
means of attracting not only thousands
Of veteran soldiers, but their children.
There will naturally be not little Curl
osity on the part OF the rising generation
to see the old soldiers, most of them
gray haired men now, inspect the ways
of camp life and hear the recital of times
| that tried men souls. The scheme of q
grand encampment of veteran soldiers
at the Worlds Exposition appears to be
one of the happiest conceptions attend
ing the general plan, that has thus far
been fruitful in surprises Of a delightful
and satisfying nature. Not only can the
people OF the whole country participate
in the general enjoyment Of this feature
Of the Worlds Congress, but foreigners
may be greatly interested if not instruct
ed, by spectacle at once unique and
