meeting of Camp Hardee, U. c. ", was held yesterday afternoon in it's hall in the Tomlinson building. The attendance was large, and several interesting mat ters came up before the camp.
 Resolutions on the death of John Will liam Tayloe, who died recently were in- troduced and were unanimously adopted They showed MT Tayloe's war record He was adjutant general and inspector on the staff of Major General D. H. Hill at the battle of Seven Pines, and by conspicuous bravery he won promotion there. He was a member of Camp Hardee and a prominent man.
 Maj. J. IT. Fowlkes read a paper which dealt with some new and interesting mat ters concerning theconfederacy. He was bearer of important dispatches from Gen eral Kirby Smith to President Jefferson Davis and was nearing Richmond when he learned of the surrender.
 He stated that tAe dispatches revealed history which has never been published At that time the federal government was attempting to get Texas to cecede from the confederate government, and that the dispatches were assurances from General Smith that Texas would stand firm to the last.
 The paper was interesting, and related not few little stories which were very true to the conditions existing at that time,
