Night.

fought field met to tell again the story OF
their suffering, privations and struggles
for the cause which, though lost, they
still love.
In the absence Of Commander Teel
A. $. Chevaller, Esq, was called
to the chair. The object Of the meeting,
he said, was to perfect the permanent
organization of the Tom Green Enoamp-
ment of ex-Confederate soldiers, in pur-
suance of the preliminary proceedings
had at San Pedro springs on the 18th
instant. Mr.. f.. p. Claudon was chosen
Secretary. A committee composed Of
Il. Il. Teel, W. A. Wallace and George
II. Dashiell was appointed to revise the
constitution and bylaws. A PROPOSE
ton to elect more Vice-Commanders on
account of the frequent absence from
the city of Commander Teel and
the non residence In the city Of the Vice
Commander, called out the names OF
George II. Dashiell, w. w. Wallace and
W. II. Young, but before these were
balloted upon II was suggested that II
would be better to await the report OF
the committee on constitution. The
constitution and bylaws which had
been previously hastily adopted, were
also referred to this committee. Mr.. w.
Ferguson proposed to open communion
tion with Richmond, and secure the
constitution and bylaws Of the encamp-
ment there for model. lie was added
to the committee. Upon invitation those
present entitled came forward and
signed the roll. Mr.. Chevaller, In few
eloquent words, alluded to the cause as
the noblest in the world and called on
all old Confederate soldiers to come for
ward and put down their names.
Mr.. Dashiell moved that all ex-Con-
federates not able to attend be allowed
to become members by sending in their
names, giving the names Of the COM
mand, company, etc, In which they
served during the war.
The assembly was next treated to a
brief but stirring address from Dr..
Cupples, who said that old Confederates
had naught TO blush for and be ashamed
of. When the beloved Southern ban
ners went down in blaze of glory the
soldiers returned home and became
quiet, law abiding citizens. lie
praised the women, and said no
laudable enterprise ever succeeded
without their aid and encouragement,
and he therefore moved that the ON
mittee on Constitution and Bylaws
select committee from among the wives
and daughters of ex-Confenerates for the
purpose Of organizing branch encamp-
ment, and urged that they should be al
lowed to share with us now as they had
shared in the times of danger.
The motion was adopted unanimously.
The soldiers then adjourned TO meet
