tborrtt. aud deeply impressed the immense
crowd Dresant. He spoke eloquently OF their

nadv Of lrwiutou made the welcoming ad-
5rass totbe Hawkins Zouaves of New York,
the northern visitors, in a thrilling speech,
full Of feeling, at the meeting OF the blue
and gray. His speech was remarkable Tor
his conservative and eloquent tone, and
showed the northern visitors that the sec
tioDal feeling eugendered during the strife
had been dissipated, and that as brave mon
4 thew could meet and shake hands over the
restoration Of a common country.
Private J. NJ. Richards Of the Hawkins
Zouaves responed for his side i'll one of the
finest speecaes ever made before a Fort
Valley audience He SAID he was doubtless
the first federal soldier who ever spoke to
an audience like that. His speech was good.
Sergt Thomson of the Zouaves, in be-
half II Mrs. johnson of New York, who
lost two brothers at Sharpsburg, presented
the Third Georgia with a piece of rock
from the stone fence where the hard fight
ing was done by the two commands for
possession Of the wall. The souvenir con-
tanned two balls, enc a confederate and the
other federal ball, fastened to the piece Of
rock, and made quite a souvenir. Sergt.
Thompson was eloquent in his presentation
speech.
a telegram received yesterday announced
that The Hawkins Zouaves spent yesterday
at Audersouvllle, and will not return 10 Sa-
vannah until tomorrow.
The next annual reunion of the associa-
ton will be held at Irwinton, which can
hardly hope to excel the hospitality of the
Fort Valley folks, as the barbecue dinner,
with its long tables loaded with an elegant
repaS5, including the finess melons and
fruits, was a spread the northern visitors
said excelled anything they had ever seen.
They say that the Third Georgia must send
delegation to the next annual reunion Of
the hawkins Z0uaves in New York, as their
visit south has shown them that northern
man is more than welcome. In TACT, their
programme for returning has been turned
4 topsy turvy by the southern people, who
i would not let them go home. Their visit
81 mas been continuous ovation,
