The Confederate Reunion at Richmond
last week was the greatest gathering Of
old veterans that has taken place since
the war. There were probably n hun
dre6 thousand strangers in the city, one
third ofwhom were Confederate veterans,
and the meeting together of so many old
soldiers, who had not seen each other for
over thirty years, was an event never to
be forgotten by those present. All Of the
old soldiers were anxious to see Rich
mond one more time before "crossing
over the river" and from all over the
South and West they came by the thou
sands. They found Richmond as hospit
able as during the war. They fed and
lodged from 10000 to $4,000 people
every day free, and the provisions
were Ell that could be desired. The en-
thusiasm was great, and reminded q
very much of war times The old soldiers
spent their time visiting the battlefelds
around the city, walking through the
cemeteries and taking in the sights of the
town. On Thursday the laying of the cor.
ner stone of the monument to Jefferson
Davis took place. All places of business
were closed and the city turned out by
the thousands to see the procession and
witness the ceremonies, and it was esti-
mated that 100000 people were in the
procession and along the line of march.
Several thousand uniformed soldiers from
almost every State in the South headed
the procession, and it was q grand sight.
1t is impossible to give anything like a
detailed account Of the occasion, and we
will content ourselves by saying that we
found Richmond almosta new city. Our
old camp grounds near the city are now
covered By houses, and very few places
looked as they did thirty-fve years ago.
The old Capital Park was the only place
that had remained unchanged. We could
go on and write for hours about Rich
mond and it's hospitable people, but
suffice it to say that. in our opinion,
only Virginians could or would en-
terrain Il 5000 or 100, 900 strangers as they
did on this occasion. II any one present
did not have a good time, it was certainly
not the fault of Richmond. God bless
Richmond and the people of Virginia, is
the prayer of one who will never regret
or forget being present on this glorious
occasion.
