Confederate Reunion.

The annual reunion of the sur
vivors of the Confederate army
was held in Atlanta July 20.23.
There was an immense gathering
of the boys in gray, 1t seems
strange that so many of them who
were men 80 years ago should be
living and able to attend these re.
unions.
Year by year the number of
these gallant men who made up
that wonderful army grows less
and less. But as the years roll
by and the number decreas, the
anxiety seems intensified for the
survivors and the sons and daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy to look
upon the remnant of that brave
army whose endurance and
achievements for four eventful
years against an army of Ameri.
can soldiers outnumbering them
four to one, and backed by ma
ton Of ilimitable resources, as
founded the world and compelled
it's respect. We have lived to
see the day when the skill and
courage Of the Confederate officer
and the bravery, endurance and
gallantry Of the soldiers, and the
noble and self.sacrifcing patriot
ism and constancy Of the woman
lis recognized by the brave men
who fought to maintain the union
of the States. The grandest
achievement of the south is the
establishment and upbuil1ing Of
their devastated country, and now
enabling the United States to hold
the balance of trade against the
world. The narrow bigoL and igno-
rant fanatic no more finds a willing,
intelligentaudience to which he can
hurl his invictive anathemas Of
the southern soldier.
The highest eulogies of the Con-
federate soldier is pronounced by
the most intelligent and best in
formed Union soldier. The war
with foreign nation has demon
strated the loyalty Of the southern
states and sincerity of the south
ern man. Side by side with the
northern brother, under the stars
and stripes, they face the deadly
missels of the enemy and give
their lives for the maintenance OF
the dignity and honor of their
common country.
The following resolution was
adopted by the Confederate as
sembly:
Resolved, That we, the members Of the
United Confederate Veterans, pledge to ON
government the hearty support OF the organ
izalion in this crisis Of affairs, standing ready
at all times with men and money, irrespective
of political afilalion, to support the presi'
dent of the United States as commander in
chief Of our army until an honorable peace is
conquered from the enemy.
After the resolutions had been passed il
was moved and seconded that copy be SEN
at once to the president Of the United States
which was also unanimously carried.
