Lieut.. Rouss's Welcome.

Iieut. Milton Rouss made the Ioi-
LOWING address of welcome to Com
pany b: Comrades-The men VINO
went forth in other days to fght tne
battles of the South, no matter from
what land they came, have always
heen welcome here in this charming
old rebel stronghold. The boys who
marched out under Rowan and Bolts
to gain imperishable renown at Man
assas and ON an hundred other hard
fought fields, under Stonewall Jack
son, have always been and will ever
be doubly welcome here. The ar
tillery company known all over the
South as Chew's Battery and of which
had the honor to be first lieut., had
and will ever have a warm place in
the hearts of all who believed in
Southern rights. There "a yet
another band of boys who rode forth
under Robert W. Baylor, as joyous
and l~ighthearted and as dauntless as
Rupert's Cavaliers, to carve for them
selves under Ashby and Jones and
Robertson, Rosser and Stuart, q
name that was hardly achieved by
any similar organization in all the
heroic legions of u Southern land.
These boys need no words of vel
come from me. As long as the sur
shall rise across our Blue Ridge and
shine upon our glorious valley and
set behind the Alleglanies, as long
as the Shenandoah shall murmur tC
the sea, so long shall company b.
and its memories be welcome here.

We pu blished in our last issue the
general order of Gen. John B. Cor
don, General Commanding United
Confederate Veterans, in regard to
the plan submitted by the great
philanthropist and benefactor,
Charles Broadway Rouss, for the es-
Enlistment of a grand Memorial
Hall where Confederate relics and
mementoes are to be deposited for
all time, and which is to become the
"Battle Abbey" of the South. We
hope this address has been generally
read. 1t will be remembered that
MI. Rouss, the generous and large
hearted donor, who alone conceived
this project for the perpetuation Of
the history of his countrymen, pre-
sented a plan for its contamination to
the veterans at the Houston reunion,
at the same time subscribing $780,
600 as his individual subscription to
assist in carrying ont his grand views
and ideas, conditioned upon the
veterans raising a like amount. To
aaise this 500, 900 additional and
enough more TO endow and insure the
perpetuation of the institution, it is
hoped that the U. c. V. Association
will be able to raise through sub
scription one-half the amount, and
to raise the remainder Gen. Gordon
has, in accordance with the request
OF the committee, designated Friday,

a Memorial Festival Day." to be
set apart for the use of the woman of
the South in raising funds for this
great Memorial Hail. The matter

charmed with the beautiful verses
(printed on 4th page this issue) of

Abbey which Mr.. Chas. Broadway
Rouss proposes shall be erected in
memory of the sol diers of the South
land, and to which object he has Of

sentiment which is so proud Of the
heroism of the boys who wore the
gray, and which irises the gloom of
their defeat with a splendor that will
shine down the ages.

Fare thee well, but NOT forever,
That loved face we yet shall see.

/ 81 squadron, 9th Va. Cavalry.

Capt. John R. Rust, of Warren
county. Va, who attended the re-
cent reunion of Co. B, 18th Va. Cav
airy, at Charles Town, writes to the
Warren Sentinel proposing a reunion
of Co. I, which with Co. B formed
the 1st squadron of that regiment.
From his Communication we extract
several paragraphs, as follows:
No squadron labored under greater
disadvantages than this. Early in
the war old Capt. Baylor was wound
ed and disabled for the rest of the
service. 1st Lieut.. nj. Rouss was
taken prisoner, this left the sustain
ing of the reputation of Co. B in
Lieuts. Geo. Baylor and Bush. Wash

brave. Col. 7. B. Massie who or
ganized Co. / was promoted to Lieut..
Col. and c. T. O'Ferrall to the Cap
taincy, the latter was dangerously
wounded, while leading his squadron
against cavalry and infantry at Up
peryille. Gallant Lieut.. G.. Eastman
was then suffering from a wound,
which disabled him for the rest of
the war, with the exception of a few
months. Lieut.. Clay Rust died from
the effect of a grapcshot at Drude's
Hill, and L was the only commits
stoned officer left for duty in Com
pany /. But never were officers
more faithfully sustained by their
non-commissioned officers and men.
Sergeant Seth Timberlake of Com
pany b, and Sergeant James Grubbs
of Company I, would lead a charge
wherever nan could live.

AT Warrenton Springs, Oct, rs,
we had just charged the enemy on
the South of the river, when Stuart
rode up and asked Baylor if he could
take the bridge? The answer was
"I'll try" Our squadron then
charged down on the bridge, where
the enemy had concentrated their fire
of shot aud shell, suddenly those in
front recoiled and / heard the shout

Washington is making big prepar-
ations for the International Christian
Endeavor Convention, to be held in
that city next July. The vast COM
mittee, composed of 5000 persons,
have already hegun work. The hall
committee has made contracts for
the erection of three mammoth tents.
A joint resolution was recently in
troduced in the Senate and House,
the purport of which is to grant the
society permission to use the large
reservation in the rear of the Execu-
Mansion for the purposes of the con-
vention, and here the tents will be
pitched. The seating capacity of
these tents will be 10, 600 each, and
in addition to the tents arrangements
will be made to. conduct overflow and
simultaneous meetings in a dozen
churches conveniently located. The
music will be led by a chorus com
posed of 5000 voices, which will in
clude the entire membership of the
famous Moody choir. Besides hav-
ing a hotel headquarters, each State
will have headquarters at n of the
city churches. Pennsylvania, with
a delegation of 1000, has been as
signed to the Calvary Baptist Church,
New York to the Church of the Cow
enant, massachusetts to the First
Congregational Church, and Indiana
to the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church. The committee expects
that, at the lowest calculation, 60 1000
delegates will be registered. Re-
cent indications are that the number
will be nearer to $4,000.
