He heartily approves of the wisdom shown by the Vete rans in their selection of the "Bluff City," the "Great Metropo lis" of the proud old State of Tennessee, as a ineetig place for this, their eleventh annual Re. union, as it is so situated, geo. graphically, that it is accessible to a very large majority of the U.

The general commandig therefore urges the officers and members of all camps to com mence now, without delay, mak ing preparations to attend this great Reunion. He especially urges all camps to commence now, without delay, preparing for dele gates, alternates and as many members as possible to attend, so as to make it the largest and most representative Reunion ever held; as business of the greatest ravity affecting the welfare of the old Veterans will be trans icted during this eleventh annual Reunion-such as the benevolent :-are, through State aid or other wise, of disabled, destitute and iged Veterans and the widows ind orphans of our fallen brothers n-arms, which will be one of the nost important matters for our onsideration. In this connec ion thegeneral commanding calls special attention to the increas ng age, multiplied sorrows and orroding cares of many of the allant old soldiers, who risked heir lives and fortunes for what hey considered right during the ventful years of 1861-65. Through he mortuary reports received at hese headquarters he is daily nd almost hourly reminded that he lengthening shadows of time re fast settling over the old he ues-reaching out already be ond the allotted span of human fe, many of whom had already assed the age of manhood when, rty years ago, they promptly nd nobly responded to t heu4 antry's call. It is our bounden utv and the chief mission of the . . V. Association that these afortunate, sick, disabled and digent comrades and brothe's id their widows and orphans ul Tave our attention, care t such help in their old age as vE ir more fortunate comrades ti procure and give, and as their te rmities and misfortunes re re. This to him will be a ax r of love, and to the carrying di of which he will devote his ax t efforts, and in the prosecu- re 1 of which sacred work he ap- to la to all the members of the of C. V. Association, who are or 3, for their earnest, prayerful, ti4 riotic help. V1 Ve must take care of our old irades, and in doing this he er .s confident that appeals for loyment for the old Confede i veterans, who are so rapidly sing away, and substantial aid these old sick, wounded, in nt and unfortunate soldiers l not be made in vain to any I te, municipal government or zen~s of any Southern State, ag to the rising generation, them- fo res the worthv descendants of oes, who are all alike partici- di .ts in that heritare of glory soe udly emblazoneJ upon the tb tory of each State by the un-P aled valor and endurance of ax se aged, wounded and dis- hi ad old warriors, as it would eS ingratitude without parallel al .degradation without pre- 01 ent tihat any of these should rii their backs upon the old lie- bE s and their ever-glorious n rds in their old age and dire i tb tress. h 7.Other business of the great- h importance will also demand eful consideration-such as P1 care of the graves of ourtl >wn and unknown dead at PI ic rton, Chase, Douglas, Oak-c d Cemetery, at Chicago; Rock ad, Johnson's Island, Cairo I at all other points. We must al for the graves of "our dead"'a I sec that they are annually th orated, the headstones pre ved and protected and corn- 01 te lists of the names of our L'beroes, with the location of ir last resting place, furnished to their friends and relatives < 1 ough the medium of our camps, 3 is escuing their names from ~ w ivion and handing them down h history: the best method of a uring impartial history, and K enlist each State in the coin- m ation and preservation of the i tory of her citizen soldiery; the r isideration of the different e, -enas plans and means to M complete the monument to the memcry of Jefferson Davis, Presi dent of the Confederate States of America, and to aid in building monuments to all of the other great leaders, soldiers and sailors of the South; to make such changes in the constitution and by-laws as experience may sug gest, and otier matters of general interest. VI. Each camp now admitted into the United Confederate Vete ran organization, and those ad mittid before the Reunion, are urged to at once elect ac-credited delegates and alternates to attend, as only accredited delegates can participate in the business part of the session. The representa tion of delegates at the Reunion will be as fixed in Section 1, Arti cle 5, of the constitution, "one delegate for every twenty active members in good standing, and one additional for a fraction of ten members, provided every camp in good standing shall be entitled to at least two delegates." Each camp will elect the same number of alternates as delegates, who will attend in case of any failure on the part of the dele gates. VII. A programme to be ob served at the Reunion and all the details will be furnished to the camps and to all Veterans in due time, And any further information can be obtained by applying to Col. R. A.
