Confederate Xeunion the Attrnc-
lions Therc-Campx in Virginia.

Virginia Will be largely represented al
the Confederate Veteran reunion. which
will be held in Nashville, Tenn, on next
Monday week, and continue for three
days.
The indications are that the crowd OF
veterans and others from the Old Domin-
ion will be larger than at any other meet
ing Of the United Confederate Veterans
held outside OF Richmond. Tho reunion
is not the only attraction in Nashville
for Virginia folks. for on Thurs
day next Virglnia-Day at the Ten
nessee Centennial will be celebrated
| and tho old Commonwealth's Gov
ernor will take conspicuous part
| in the ceremonies incident thereto.
| A goodly number OF the citizens OF this
| State Will. of course. be present TO par
| ticipate in the celebration OF the day
! set apart for the Mother Of Presidents.
| and as the reunion follows so closely upon
| the heels OF Virginla-Day, naturally all
who attend the Centennial from this
| state VIII remain over 10 mngle with the
| veterans. many of whom shed their blood
on the historic fields within the borders
Of this grand old Commonwealth.
OFERRALL IN a PRIVATE CAR.
The Governor and his staff, together
with a select party OF ladies, will leave
| here over the Chesapeake and Ohio gail
way for Nashville Tuesday afternoon at

! tuckv. Colonel HaTwood, who is making
| all preparations for the party, has en-
! gagged a suite of ten rooms for them at
the Duncan House. in Nashville. and a
most ENJOYABLE time will undoubtedly be
spent by all.
VETERANS WILL LEAVE SATURDAY
The veterans will not leave Virginia
until the 19th-that is, number of them
will not. though some will more than
likely 20 to Nashville for the Virginia
Day exercises. There are eighty-seven
veteran camps I'm Virginia, and of this
number thirty-six are members of the
United Confederate Veterans. The en-
tire thirty-sx will send delegates to tho
reunion, and these delegates will be ac-
companied by others who are sufficient
~ interested in the proceedings at Nash
VILE TO journey thither. Altogether,
about lG0 delegates will go from this
| state, and probably twice as many more
vets will go on their own hook. OF the
delegates, about forty-fiye will be from
this city.
1t is more than likely that the delega-
tions from Lee and Pickett camps in
Richmond will go together and in event
that they do, they will leave here on
the afternoon of the 10Th, and travel
in special Pullman cars They have not
selected the route they will take, but
Captain David Brown is engineering this,
and he will make his report TO spe-
cial meeting which has been called for
Tuesday night at Lee Camp Hall. Then
It will be decided what route will be
taken and the hour Of departure will
be fixed. 1t is expected that the delega-
ton from this city will BE joined along
the route by other camps and delega-
tons from this State. At any rate, the
Virgnians will all get together In Nash
vile. and a red-hot fight Will be made
by them to secure the Battle Abbey for
Richmond. General Thomas a. Brander,
commander of the Virginia Division of
the United Confederate Veterans, will be
unable to attend the reunion, but Major
John Cussons, grand commander of the
Grand Camp of Virginia, will attend.
Colonel John b. Cary will lead the fight
for Richmond in the Battle Abbey con-
test.
