I CHARLESTON. S. c.. May 6.-(Spe-
cial)-The good news that more
Virginians are. coming TO the re-
union next week than have been
to any such gathering held outside
of Richmond, has been heard with de
light by all Charlestonians. 1t is true that
the Army of Northern Virginia, in war
times could not spare many men from
its thin gray line" TO assist in the de-
fence of Charleston, but Virginia sent Us
some able officers. General X. L. Lee
himself served here early in the war. ana
among other distinguished Virginians who
succeeded him were General Samuel
Jones, General Beverley II. Robinson, ana
Beauregard's incompatible chief engineer.
Colonel ID. B. Harris, whose commission
as a brigadier came after he had an
swered the last roll-call. The late General
". b. Taliaferro served with distinction
in the defence of this city, and will be
missed by those comrades from Charles
ton who greeted him so enthusiastically
in Richmond, when the body Of President
Davis was inferred,
1t is true that Wise's Brigade
including the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues-was ordered here in
September 1865. and remained I'M
til May, 1854, but they had little or
no opportunity to show their soldership.
OF the many thousand South Carolinians
who went to Virginia. there are many
hundreds still alive. anu the large ma
jority of them will be in Charleston next
week, unless all signs fail Gordon. of
Georgia.. and Stephen ID. Lee and Hamp-
ton. of South, Carolina, the three great
leaders of the United Confederate Vete-
rams, are names to conjure by in Virginia
and throughout the South, and the only
regret is that Fitzhugh Lee will not be
here but will leave it TO the gallant
Wheeler to prove that Confederate sol
diers can fight as brayely for as against
the Stars and Stripes, when duty calls.
Every home will be open to the Vir-
ginians, but there are some homes where
they win be doubly welcome. for they can
claim kindred there, and have their claim
