Soldiers' Mooting at Walhalla.
In pursuance of a call in tho columns of
tl?e " Courier/' a very largo number of thc
soldiers of thc lato Confedorato Army, assem
bled in thc beautiful and hospitable town of
Walhalla, nt nil carly hour in thc morning of
Saturday tho 22d instant. Thc meeting of
many of those who had served together, and
shared tho dangers of thc cam]) for several
years, was of an exceedingly cordial and friend
ly nature, and several hours were spent in the
interchange of greetings.
In accordance with a previous invitation to
address tho soldiers* Cen. WAUK HAMPTON
arrived in town and took lodgings at BIR
MA PIN'S fine Hotel. Largo numbers of ladies,
embodying much cf thc beauty nod grace of
tho District, were present and lent their smiles
to the occasion,, so that nothing was wanting
to complete tili* assembly of fair women and
bravo men. ^
At a bli ut ?l?ve ? o'clock, tho flonarnl being
informed by n committee that his friends, ad
mirers, a:id fellow-soldiers, to a large number,
had assembled in front of thc hotel, nod would
bo pleuscd to seo hun, appeared upon tho pi
azza, nod was enthusiastically received hy all.
The General then addressed the assembly for
about an hour, in a characteristic and eloquent
mnnncr, which requires no comment nt our
hands in this place. [The speech will appear
in full next wook.]
When Cen. HAMPTON had finished speak
ing, Maj. J. M. ADAMS, of Bickens C. H.,
advanced upon the piazza and 0(Tored tho fol
lowing resolution, complimentary to thc Gen
eral, which met tho feelings of nil, and was
unanimously and cordially adopted :
Resolv?/, That it is with unfeigned pleas
ure and pride that we welcome in our midst
our distinguished late fellow-soldier and com
mander, Gen. WAUK, HAMPTON ; ?nd that for
such a hinein of time as he moy find it agree
able to reniai ii,?the hospitalities of tho town
of Walhalla aro cordially extended to him at
thc expenso of this meeting.
On motion to that cITcct, thc soldiers then
adjourned to tho Lutheran Church to arrange
thc business.of tho day. On motion of Maj.
S. P. DKNU?T tho melding was organized by
calling Col. Ron'r. A. THOMPSON to the chair,
and requesting Capt. W II. IIor.COMllK to act
as Secretary, Col. THOMPSON, on taking tho
ehnir, said : v.* *
Comrades : .Notanticipating that T should
he called on to-day, to take an active part in
this meeting, T am almost wholly unprepared
to discharge the duties devolving on the Chair
at tho present time :
The object of the meeting, ns T understand
it, is to form an organization, to bc styled
" Tho Soldiers' Association." Tho object of
this Association is to gather within its folds
all tho Confederate soldiers in the District -
not to foster and keep alive that spirit and de
termination which induced the late unfortu
nate struggle-but rather to repair Mic waste
that has been precipitated on us by the war.
lt will, beside, bo a source of real pleasure, in
after years, for tho survivors of tho late heroic
struggle, to meet, under moro benign influen
ces-when thc country has been regenerated,
and rescued from its present lamentable con
dition hy the arts of peace and the energy of
its citizens-and
" Fight their battles o'er again."
It will also bc a higher and nobler privilege
to extend the hnnd of charity to the widow
of our fallen comrades, and by thc ?ducation
of his orphan children, fill that niche in his
desolate home now so much needed, and so
urgently demanded by the best interests of
thc country.
Comrades : When the late, war closed, I
accepted ' thcsituation," without reservations
of tiny kind whatsoever. I believed then, and
I nm now still moro strongly confirmed in that
belief, that a radical change has, by thc events
of tho past fivo years, taken place in thc con
stitution and government of thc United States,
j I beliovo that these ohnnges oro irrevocable
I believe, moreover, that it is our duty to ac
quiesce cheerfully in these events of history,
and earnestly prepare for thc discharge of thc
duties of citizenship consequent thereon.
Since thc foundation of the F?deral govern
ment, tho wnrm-hcartod and chivalrous sons
of thc land, labored to retain a freo and inde
pendent government-ono which fostered the
cherished institutions of tho country, and
tended to tho growth and development of n
groat and glorious people In peace, the
political strifo was of thc fiercest character.
In war, thc strugglo raged with a fury unpar
alleled in tho history of thc world. Tho sword
-that stern arbiter of tho hour-hos prevailed
o ga i nat us. Our sttitcsmon have transmitted
to us a record of unbiased rulo ; worthy of our
study and imitation. Our comrades in arms
havo exhibited, by our side, a devotion, forti
tndo and heroism, that cnn never fade from
our memory.
With a character and prestige, thon, of
which any people might justly bo proud, let
us dismiss " war's rudo alarms " from our
minds, and turn to tho noble paths of peace,
virtue and roligion I If wo havo lost much,
havo wo not much left of which still to bo
proud? With an ancestry distinguished, with a
present "ull of honor untarnished, let us move
forward, shoulder to shoulder, without prcju
dico to section or caste, to discharge tho vaned
and rouponsiblo duties of lifo. Let us not rc
pine over that which fate Ima decreed against
us, but, like men, who havo buckled on their
armor for success, neither be turned to the
right nor tho left, Let peaceful pursuits lill
our minds, hot thc schools bo fdlcd with tho
glee and morrinicnt of our youth, und let them
be instructed to go forth honored members of
society. Let others till tho soil, nod bc rich
in its increase and happiness. Let the artisan
ply his vocation, bringing with it real pros
perity and independence.
In conclusion, comrades: Let us bc true
and faithful to our country-interested in its
prosperity, and zealous of its honor. So live,
that those who now contemn us, may, in their
repentant souls, exclaim : These are our fel
low 'Countrymen, outer thou with tis into the
good work of peace, freedom and happiness,
and share alike tho honors of our native land !
Tho Chair is,.now ready to receive thu bus
ness of thc meeting.
On motion of Maj. J. M ADAMS, a com
mittee of five was appointed to prepare busi
ness for the meeting. The Chair appointed

resolutions; which being rend to thc meeting
by Mnj. ADAMS, were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, wc have but just emerged from
tl bloody and desolating war, which, in its in
ception and course, enlisted the sympathies of
our ontiro population ; Anti whereas, the
bones of our comrades in anns lie mouldering
on every well-fought Held from the Potomac
to thc Cull'; Anti whereas, it is lit and proper
that those who have fought under tho same
Hag, have faced tho same dangers, and shared
the same hardships, should extend to each
other thc right hand of fellowship, und draw
more closely to each other in thc ties ol' india
soluble friendship. Therefore be it
Resolved, ls/. That there are battles to bi

as on thc blood-stained held, and that then

that the moral and civil dillioulties which an
now to be met and cootmidod with, domnnt
our highest abilities, und are no less worthy o
our greatest exertions and endurance than tin
eminent perils of tho deadly breach, whicl
were so nobly met and boldly faced by tin
soldiers of this country in the late war.
2d. That whatever fate limy befall our be
loved .State ; that whatever misfortunes ma;
overtake us in the present unhappy and ru

never turn the cold shoulder of indiflcrenc
upon the bereft families of those of our com
rades in anns who have fallen by our sido i
battle.
3d. 'hat the widows and orphans of thoa
who hnvo fallen in the lute war have GTTr~?r
