SOUTH AND NORTH.
An Organization Uniting the Blue and the
Gray in Harmony.

Gray in Harmony.
A new thing in organizations of vet
erans of the war is the Independent
Army and Navy Veterans Association.
The object of this association is "To
maintain q perfect union among it's
members, to establish harmony and
discipline, to insure tranquility, to
promote the object of reconciliation
between the blue and the gray veter-
ans of 1S61-5. to maintain true allegi-
ance to the United States Government
and unswerving respect for and tidel-
ity to the constitution and laws of the
land and to encourage the spread of
universal liberty, equal rights and
justice to all men,"
The representative of this associa-
ton in this city is Phil Sheridan Post,
No. l. Before adopting this name a
letter was sent to the General stating
the object of the association and ask
ing permission to use his name. The
General, in his reply granting the re-
quest, stated that he fully approved
the objects of the new organization.
The post was accordingly formed, and
adopted rules and regulations. Here
are two of them.
Comrades should enjoy themselves
with innocent mirth, treating one an
other according to their ability, but
avoiding all excesses or forcing any
comrade to eat or drink beyond his
inclinations, or hindering him from
going when occasion calls him, or do
ing or saying any thing offensive, or
that may forbid, or any free and easy
conversation, for that would blast our
harmony and defeat our laudable
purposes: therefore, no private inter-
ests may be brought within our doors,
tar less any quarrels about religion or
nations. we being only brothers and
comrades of the universal religion
above mentioned. Kindreds we are
also Of all nations. tongues and Ian
guages. and we are resolved against all
politics as what never yet conduced to
the welfare of any order nor everwill. "
Comrades entering our post as
members must lay aside all hatred and
malice In regard to the past issues; yes,
every thing that may incite our blue
and gray veterans to disharmonyi we
must fight prejudice in all its forms;
in fact, every thing that may hinder
the forwarding of the pure and sim
cere spirit of our institution. Friend
ship shall guide us, loyalty he our ar
NOR and vigilance our sword to make
way for reconciliation between our
brothers North and South. East and
West"
A bureau of relief and employment
is also feature of the organization.
which differs but little from the g. A.
r., except in admitting to membership
both Union and Confederate soldiers,
and few patriotic honorary eiti'
gems, IN. Y Letter.

 | l wish I had the time and more abili- | ty to present picture of these peaceful homes and God-llke blessings, so that all might more fully appreciate their worth. Mark Antony, when cal el upon to recite the tale of Ceaser's wrongs, and tragic fate, felt himself alone un- equal to the task and so he held up before che eyes of Rome, the rent and blood stained mantle of the Conqueror. "Loek," said he, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through. Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabbed, and as he plucked the cursed steel away mark how the blood of Ceaser followed it." All ! As keenly as I feel my inabili- ty in so short a time to do the work assigned me here, I should be more embarrassed still if left to naked fact, or alone to the resources of my own imagination. But I have other helr. No blood-stained garment worn by some sturdy hero of the past Is mine to wave before you but the place where sleeps the .honored dead is herc :; to this I point.
