 The two buildings where the beds are laid were almost full to their capacity. The crowds have exceeded the expecta- tions of the most sanguine and more room was needed before the sunset of yester- day. The estimated number of veterans encamped at Hotel Gordon exceeds the 5000 mark.
 Yesterday at dinner time about 5000 men gathered about the tables. The mess hall will hold about 1900 at one time, and as fast as one group finished eating another was on hand to take it's place. The cooks worked from early morn until late at night preparing viands for the vast throng that they catered to. However, their ef- forts did not go without reward, for many of the veterans said that they had been to a great number of reunions, but had never attended one where they were bet ter fed Major Gorffs Birmingham stew" made great hit. The gall for coffee was also immense, all of which is 2 great compliment to the management.

On account of the fact that most of the veterans will be in town at noon, no lunch is served. Din ner begins at 1:30 and continues until o'clock, so no one need fear that he will be late to his meals and miss them.

One of the features of the display was the beau tful skyrockets. Some df those that were sent up burst into myriads of gor- eeously colored sparks that formed into some appropriate figure as they ap- preached the earth.
 The soldiers are remaining in. good health only one man being i'll. He had been in bad health for some time and had not recovered when he left home. He suffered a slight relapse yesterday and decided to return to his home today.

You will re- call that President Davis removed Gen. Joseph k. Johnston and appointed Gen. John B. Hood as his successor to take command of the army. General Hood had been our corps commander, and on his promotion Gen. Stephen D. Lee, as lieu tenant general, was appointed to take command of our corps, which was Hood s old corps. He appealed to our patriotism and referred with pride to the record that the troops composing the corps had made during the war. On the night of the | 27th of July 1864, he marched Hindman | division of the corps through Atlanta to a point on the extreme wing of Hoods army.
