ESSEN VETERANS.
They Organize n Confederate Camp
1853 strong.

TAPPAHANNOCK, VA, October p
Especial )-Yesterday was our regular
County-Court day, and a goodly number
of the sOyeregns were in attendance.
There was very little OF a legal nature
to enlist the attention OF those present,
but much good work was done in polti-
cal line. The fact had been noised
abroad that Hon. James n. Stubs, lieu
tenant cOmmander OF the Grand Camp
OF Confederate Veterans. would be pres
ent to organize a camp in Essex, and
many old soldiers were present for the
purpose Of beiRg enrolled. Mr.. Stubs
arrived early in the morning, and at once
began TO talk TO the vets" present upon
the subject which Is so dear to his heart
His energy was richly rewarded, for
when the time for organizing arrived
the applications for membership came so
RAPIDLY that the names could not be
enrolled as fast as submitted. To thu
delight of all who were interested. the
camp was organized with ls members
and with the following officers: T. K. IL.
Wright, commander; Or. w. Lewis, first
Ueutenant-commander Albert Rennods,
second ieutenant-commander: j. VI. Ter.
reII. third utenant-commander; William
Campbell, adjutant: John NJ. owen. quar-,
termaster; r. c. Mcdonald. sergeant
major; r. A. Mundie, treasurer; DR.. b. F.
Wright, surgeon Wilton Phillips. chap
lain; b. b. Brodanbrough. officer OF the
day; John H. Kidd, vidette; +. II. Micon.
color sergeant: William s. Andrews,
first coor-guard; X. III. Dunn, second
color-guard; Executive Committee-John
NJ Terrell, Albert Rennolds, DR.. Warner
Lewis.
The meeting was as enthusiastic as
could possibly have been hoped, and the
Essex camp may be expected to take
first rank among the camps OF Virginia
as her boys were noted for their bravery
and pushed to the front in the days Of
battle whenever there was need of
daring.
Much OF the success in getting up the
organization Is due to Judge Il. Il. Il.
Wright. who was as gallant a soldier
as ever faced foe, and whose heart is
still devoted TO the cause for which he
so bravely fought. The application has
been sent for a charter. and the boys
are already talking OF building monu-
ment TO their dead.
