SURVIVORS, REUNIONS.

The Survivors of the Twelfth Regiment,
S. c.. ", held their annual meeting at Wal
halla last Thursday. The regiment was
drawn up in double line in front of Be
mann's Hotel at II o'clock and was then
marched, under the command of Captain
Smith and preceded by the village band, to
College Hill. There were present about
forty Survivors, Companies G and K being
from Oconee county. Upon halting in front
of the college building the command, "Open
ORDER" was given and Gen. McCrady, the
orator of the day, accompanied by w. G..
Reid the president of the Survivors, Asso-
citation, j. r. Boyles and the Rev. Hugh
Strong marched in double file to the head of
the regiment, where they were met by the
Hon. John S. Werner, who conducted them
into the College chapel. Mr.. w. G. Reid,
the president, called the meeting to order.
After prayer by the Rev. Hugh Strong, the
president introduced the Hon. John S. Yer
ner, who had been selected to welcome to
Walhalla the survivors of the heroic regi-
ment. Mr.. Werner in bright and spark
ling speech extended hearty welcome to
the warrior guests, closing with a patriotic
appeal to the young men of to-day to be as
faithful in the discharge of their duty in
peace as were their fathers in war. The
president then introduced Gen. McCrady,
who was received with a perfect storm of
applause. The memorable battle of the
Second Manassas furnished the theme of the
gallant soldiers address,. The battle flag,
exhibiting signs of the terrible ordeals
through which the glorious Twelfth had
passed, was carried at the head of the pro-
cession of Survivors,.
On the same day the annual reunion of
the Survivors of the Sixth Regiment S. c.
", was held at Winnsboro. The procession
was formed and marched to the Court
House, where the meeting was called to Or
der by Gen. John Bratton, President Of the
Association. The annual Grafton was de-
livered by Maj. E. G. Mcclure, of Chester.
His address embodied the history of the
Sixth Regiment from the battle of Dranes-
vile to the reorganization Of the Regiment
in 1862 after the expiration Of the twelve
months term of service. The address was
written in good style and was admirably
delivered. Ii will be printed in pamphlet
form to be preserved among the prominent
records of the command. At the business
meeting all the present officers were unani-
mously reelected. A resolution was adopt
ed providing that the next regular reunion
be held on the battlefield of Seven Pines.
The executive committee was charged with
making the necessary arrangements. After
adjournment the Association with their in
vited guests repaired to a large halli in town,
where fine dinner was served and was
greatly enjoyed by all.
