TO THINK OWN SELF BK TRUE AND IT MUST FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THE DAY, THOU OANS'T NOT THEN BK FALSE TO ANY MAN. WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA. JULY 28, 1808. NEW SERIES, NO. 17.-VOLUME XLIX.-NO. 30, ^ CONFED About Fifty 1 City^ Gen. Gordon's Great ? for the ATLANTA, QA., July '20.-A host of heroes, trending historio ground, invaded Atlanta to-day. For two days tho Confederate Vote rans and their friends havo been coining in, and a conservative estimate of tho people now in Atlanta to attend tho eighth annual reunion of the Vete rans is 40,000. Tho railroads are advised that several special trains are on tho way, and ns tho trafilo in ward bound is still very heavy, to morrow's arrivals aro expected to swell tho total number of visitors to tho 50,000 mark. Confcdoraoy's ranks are well rep resented, yet much disappointment is expressed at the unavoidable ab Honco of Airs. Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Davis' health is not good, ami fear ing that tho journey from Richmond would overtax her, thc first lady of tho Confederacy has given up the trip. Miss Winnie Davis, however, is expected to morrow morning. She AV i ll bo met at tho depot by a recep tion committee and escorted to thc residence of Mrs. William M. Davis, on Washington street. Thc names of Cen. Joseph Whoolor, the gallant cavalry loader, and Con. Fit/.hugh Leo aro on every lip, tho regret for their absence, howovcr, being set aside by tho fact that they are nobly representing tho South in thc strug gle with ?Spain. Thc interest of tho day centered in tho first meeting of tho Veterans at tho Auditorium in Piedmont Park. There, surrounded by ten thousand of his devoted followers, Cen. John B. Cordon, commander-in-chief of thc Veterans, delivered an address, which thrilled his auditors and called forth a responso in terms which admit of no doubt as to the Oeneral's place in the hearts of his followers. The speeches of the day abounded with praises of tho heroie doods and achievements of the sons of tho South in tho present war, and the names ol Hobson, bagley, Schley and lihu were cheered to the echo. Cen Charles li. Hooker, of Mississippi the orator of the day, was given ? cordial reception and his address wa* well received. Ten thousand Veterans and theil friends filled to overflowing the big Andito, un nt Piedmont Park th ii morning, and cheered the living heroes of tho Confederacy and tlu names of the dead, ({lowing tribute.' were showered on the records and achievements of the sons of tlu South in the war with Spain. A beaming July sun sent his hottes rays through the. windows of tin amphitheatre, but the heat did no diminish tho enthusiasm of tin assembled thousands. When Cen John I?. (Jordon entered the hall tin applause and cheering were deafen ing. The General, when he reachec tho platform, walked from one sidi to the other, bowing his aeknowl edgments again nod again. Then was no doubting his place in th hearts of tho Veterans. It was one hour and a half afto: tho time Hot for opening tho conven tion when Con. Carey Evans, tin commander of thc Georgia dcloga tion, called the assemblage to order On tho stage, grouped about Cen Cordon, were Gen. Stephen I). Lee Gen. Caholl, of Texas, Gen. "Tig' Anderson, Gen. C. IO. Hooker, tin orator of tho day ; Gen. J. I. Auder son and Gen. Wilson, of Florida and Adjt. Gen. Merman, of Nov Orleans. In tho first row on tin stago wei? Governor Atkinson am ex-Governors Bullock and McDaniel Mayor Collier, Col. Win. A. Hemp hill ami (len. Anbury Coward. The Hov. Dr. J, William Jonof tho Chaplain General of tho Confod crates, invoked divine blessing upoi the assemblage, and welcoming ad drosses were then delivered by Mayo Collier, Representative Thomas li Folder, Col. VV. A. Ilomphill am Governor Atkinson. The Governor's welcome wa heartily received. A ff er oytondin tho freedom of the State, city nu tho ICxe ,utivo Mansion, tho Govei nor said : "A great many people have nih conceived our relations to th national government. When wc sui rendered lo tho opposing forces w granted two things, the negro as freo man and tho adjustment of th dootrino of sccossion. But tho Sta! < ERATE R fhousand Peop With the Vete >peech>=The Beauty of United Confederate Vc never did surrender tho strict con struction of tho Constitution of tho United States. Whcnovcr tin? grout question which divides Northern and Southern statesmen is submitted to tho Supremo Court, it has always decided in favoi of tho Southern position." Gen. Gordon was next on the Hst of speakers, As soon as tho Gov ernor had concluded tho impatient Voterons, unable longor to restrain themselves, began to shout, "Gordon, Gordon." From all parte of tho building tho namo was taken up and tho greeting was assuming vociferous proportions when the General rose and raised his hand, Tho audienoc was stilled instantly. Gen. Evans thou introduced Gen. I Gordon. Notwithstanding his reoont illness, thc effects of which were plainly visible, Gen. Gordon wa? sur prisingly strong in voice and his remarks were heard in every part of tho auditorium. (?KN. GORDON'S SPEECH. Governor, Gen. Evans, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of thc Committee : AH a Georgian at homo my proper place in this program would seem to bo among those who bid these Vete rans welcome and not as thc mouth piece of thc recipients of that wel come. The oilioinl station, however, to which my comrades have called mo demands that in their name 1 re spond to those heartfelt greetings .rom my native Stato and her capi tal city. Geographically, therefore, I should play thc part of host, but oflicially I must speak as your guest Anomalous as this double capacity may seem, it is not without its com pensations. In my capacity of host and dutiful son I can loan as it wort on tho bosom of my mother, Geor gia, and feel 'ncr boating heart throb bing with a boundless love and sym pathy for all survivors of thc South'i unrivaled annies ; while in thc capac ity of guest I throw around thost visiting comrades tho arms of a bro thor and in their name pledge theil grateful acknowledgement for this magnificent reception. Georgia and her fair daughter, At tanta, in thus opening their arms am hearts to receive us, arc in no sonst surprising us. Wc know what to ox poet before wc came. The norma position of this State and city i known of all men. Their place is a tho front, whether in sending sold icrs to war, or in honoring thom ii peace ; and there is not a survivo of those immortal legions who bor thc stainless cross of battle to thousand victories, who docs not fee at bonni in this State and city. Al of these Confederates . realize tba they are at home, and their pulsin hearts tell of their appreciation i languago far mon; eloquent and ten dor than any which I could utter. And now, my fcllow-countrymoi may I ask if you have contemplate and comprehended the full signifi canco of this splendid reception, an of ot!)ors Uko it which havo boo accorded us by Louisiana, by Alii bama, by Mississippi, by Texas, b Virginia, by Tennessee, by all th people wherever it has been our foi 'une to convene? How strang* how marvelously strange, must thoa annual outpourings appear to all per ploH outside of tho South's border. On another occasion I felt impolie to advert to tho peculiar signifioanc of these Confederate reunions} bu tho mind can never tiro of ?hoi analysis-philosophy, patriotism, vii tao and religion-may all feed an feast upon such a thorne withoi exhausting it; and the spirit of lil crty, tho reverence for law, and f( regulated government rejoicos an grows strong in tho sentiment an high purpose which these gathering ovoko. No other conventions ( ox-soldiors in all tho earth are so fr< from self-seeking, so untainted I; passion or prejudice, so puro philanthropic not more broad patriotic. No disbanded and d fcatcd soldiery has ever been for i long a period tho special objects < so unique and universal approbate and affection hy a pooplo for who oausc that soldiery contended unsu cessf ally. In every other ago, in every otb land, popular plaudits have been bi thc echoes of the shouts ami marti pageants of victory. Publio bono REUNION Je in the Gate rans. the South as Sponsors terans. costly demonstrations and universal aeolaim havo been the heritage of successful annies. Imperial Koine, intoxicated with tho glory of con quost, erected lofty arches to hor mighty warriors, only when they boro her proud eagles abovo tho ranks of conquering legions. Franco was united and exultant under tho I groat Corsican so long ns he was vic torious ; but be, too, was dofcated, and at his fall, the legislativo assem bly of his people abandoned and de manded tho abdication of this hith erto idolized leader. Nor do our own bravo countrymen, thc bravo Veterans ol the Union army, furnish any parallel to tho conditions which surround us. When thoy returned from tho horrors of war it was to homes of increased comfort, to aug mented wealth and with arms in their hands and victory on their banners. They returned to an estab lished and grateful government. Tho return of tho disarmed and disbanded Confederates, however, was to people made poor ; to a land made desolate, covered with black ened ruins, where overy home was in mourning, overy breath was a sigh and every breeze a messengor of woe. And yet, after a third of a century has passed, after the remnants of those annies have grown gray, and tho government for which they fought lives only as a memory, these grim Southern warriors gathor in annual reunion, and are the recipients of a boundless hospitality dispensed by this recently impoverished but grateful people. On what page in history will you find a similar history ? In what age or country have the shattered rem nants of defeated armies, banded to gether in a brotherhood so uniquo, n purpose so unselfish ? Among what dofcated pcoplo has ever boon wit nessed such fidelity to the memories of an unsuccessful anny, coupled willi such unostentatious, genuine and re sponsive loyalty to the government from which theyr so resolutely and conscientiously sought separation ? I challenge the world'" annals to furnish a parallel. In conclusion, let mc inquire whal it all means. Simple justice to these brave and patriotic men, who yielded at last to overwhelming numbers ant] resources; justice to thc Southon: pooplo, whose devotion to their cause must be measured by the. counties! sacrifices they made for it ; justice to thoir present attitude tow ard t?t< American republic, whose honor ane freedom and flag they a.'o a.wayi ready to defend ; justice to i!<" v ?If respect and manhood of Southon youth, who aro to stand for all time with Northern youth in defence o: popular liberty ; justice to the pas and justice to the future, all domain that our own posterity and all man kind shall know the meaning of thesi phenomenal demonstrations over tin thinned ranks of a broken but prom and once resistless anny. Our heroic brothers of the Unioi army need no such care1, in guardim themselves from misapprehension and for tho reason that they aro, si to speak, tho special wards of hi great nation. All of its energies, al of its inline nee and a large sharo o its taxing power are subject, whoi required, to their demands. Kesides an a rule, it in true tho world ovo that victory itself vindicates, whili defeat dooms to misroprcscntalioi tho causo of tho vanquished. Let us hope, however, that impar tial history, scoured through tho Ia bois of our broad-minded and abl historical committee, will avert fron our people such a wrong. Again, and finally, I press th question, what is tho inmost mean ing of these Con federate pageants Aro they due', to any covert or sinifl ter aims, or, in tho remotest dogroc to self-seeking? Their opon session and published proceedings, which al tho world is challenged to inspect furnish tho ansv/or : Do thes reunions and popular domonstro tions, which attend them, drn\ their inspiration from any sugget tion of disloyalty to either of thc tn mondons results of the war-th freedom of the slave and the otenu unity of tho republic? Tho protec tion of tho negro by Southern court his rolinnoo for security upon Soutl orn sontimcnt and Iiis oduoatio through white taxation in Southern schools, furnish tho South's nnswor as to tho First. To tho second : Loy alty to a perpetual union of tho States and to tho honor and glory of tho republic-tho South has hoou continually answoring sinco tho oloso of our civil war; and she is answor ing to-day by tho presence and prowess of her horoic sons at tho front in tho war with Spain. Hov Lee, her Wheeler, nor liagloy, her liluo, hoi Hobson and her thousands of volunteers who sprang to aruis at thoir country's call, aro answoring from their oamps from tho Philip pines and from tho j anglos of Cuba. You, my Confederate comrades, would bo thero if tho country needed you. Many of you assembled hero would have boon thero but for im paired health and failing strongtli. But our sons and grandsons aro thero. With our prayers and blessings they aro cnlistod in this war for high and holy purposes. s Among tho great ends to bo attained in this conflict with Spain, thc freedom of oppressed islands in both oooans, tho wider inilnonce of America in thc councils of tho nation, tho increased respect for her power on land and sea, there is stili another achievement to be attained, no less glorious and far reaching : namely, tho oblitera tion of all traces of distrust among oursolvos and the complete and toe long delayed unification of tho American pcoplo, which shall bc called in question no moro foro vcr. Tho oration of the day was doliv erod by Gen. Charles E. Hooker, ol Mississippi. Con. Hooker was intro duced by Con. Cordon. Ho saul that when tho surrender was mad< tho Confederate soldiers soparatod with arms in their hands. Ho san it was a capitulation, tho Confede rates hoing allowed to depart ii peace, unmolested so long as tho} observed their parole. "There is not one Confederate bu has kept tho torms of his capitula tion," said tho speaker. Referring to tho surrender at Ap pomattox, Cen. Hooker stated tba some of tho Federal ofliccrs desire? to fire a salute in honor of the vic tory. Evorything was in rondines for the salute, when Cen. (?rani learning of it, said : "Stop that firing. Wo havo n great victory to bc proud of, for w have been ioui > jars capturing thosi 8,000 men who have laid down thei anns." Gen. Hooker was one of tho coan sol appointed by tho State of Missis sippi to defend Jefferson Davis who ho was charged with treason. JI spoke feelingly of the way in whic the President of the Confederacy with supreme abnegation, took upo himself the sins of all his peopli Only ono reason, said thc Genera could be assigned for tho failure t try President Davis. His prosccutoi know ho was not guilty. They kne< his allegiance was first due to hi 3tate, and, as a loyal citizen of Mil tissippi, when she seceded, it was hi duty to espouse her cause. In commenting on the fact tin thc South's representatives wero tal ing a prominent part in tho wi with Spain, ho took occasion to a test to tho bravery and gallantry i Con. Wheeler. "They may heat him for Congre in Alabama," said tho speaker. ??They'll never do il," shouted score of voices from the audience ??They may beat for Congress Alabama," continued tho speaki "but WO will erect a magnifi?e; monument to lum." (jen. I looker referred, in the coan ot his remarks, to the fact that tho graves of the Confederates in tl national cemetery at Arlington wo headstones hearing the inscriptio "Rebol." He told of a visit to tl cemetery with Homo ladies, who sa it was an outrage that such a thii should be. "It is eminently proper," said t General to thom, "that th OHO po hoys who woro tho ragged Confod rate coat of gray, should ho buri hero on tho ground which belong to tho second greatest rebel tl country has over produced, Rob? 10. Loo, George Washington bei tho first. Yes, they woro rebels reboiled against wind they bi.nov was wrong and asserted what th ?thought was right." ATLANTA, GA., July 21.-G John P>. (jordon was given anotl proof of tho undying love for li in tho hearts of all his fellow HI viving Confederates in a unanime re-election to-day to tho position Commander-in-Chief of thc Unil Confederate Veterans. All the officers were re-elect amid a scene of great cnthusi and responsos wore made wh Showed how deeply they were tonel by tho continued ovidonco of affec tion offered to thom by tho mon thoy lod to many a gallant A Iotory, and with whom thoy sorrowed in many an hour of adversity. Qon. Gordon had just offered a resolution commending President McKinley's notion in taking from tho ranks of tho old Confederates gonc rala for tho army in tho war with Spain, whoa Col. Ellison, of Vir ginia, mounted to tho stn nd. Col. Ellison said ho know of no moro propitious moment, for ino elec tion of officors, und paying a glow ing tributo to each of the oflicors who have so ably sorvod tho U. C. V. in tho past, ho placod in nomination tho following : THU 0FF1OKR8 KI.TCCTKD : Con. John li. Gordon for com mander-in-chief. Gen. Stephen 1). Loo for com mando!' of tho department of Ton nessee.

U.. ??.~_finn UUMSU *JJ uim V>VJII v vilviQU. Thoro wero no other nominations. Upon tho election of commander in-chief Gen. Leo put the question, and it was unanimously passed by a rising voto. On yielding tho chair to Gen. Gor don, Gen. Leo said ho hoped that gallant officer would romain in com mand. Gen. Gordon put thc question for tho election of the other officers and thoy wore likewiso unanimously ro-olcctcd. (JUN. QOUDON UKSPONDS. In acknowledging the compliment which had been paid him, Gen. Gor don said : "My comrades, no words of thanks I could command would do justice to the promptings of my own heart or to your generosity. I do not deserve this compliment-" Voices: "Yes, you do ! You do! You do !" "Hut by God's help J shall end my days by keeping my face always ii the direction your faces have beor since 1801. (Applause.) And while I say that, I want it understood bj ovcry man within the sound of mj voice and by the whole world a? well that there beats no ti uer hean for this reunited country, for tlx honor and glory of the Amcricai republie, for thc prosperity and tin freedom of this liberty loving peoph beats in any breast than in mine (Applause.)

Tho beauty of tho South, the fai est of her daughters, aro in Atlnnl representing tho several Stale:? ac departments of the United Confod rate Veterans as sponsors and mai? of honor. The city is captivated with tl charming presenco of the yoiu ladies, and they have won tho ado ration of most of tho ladies and .' of the men of Atlanta. Nover w thoro a swoetor and moro hoautif orowd of sponsors and maids honor than was Boleotod for tho reunion this yoar, and tho old voto rans look long and admiringly at tho young women as thoy flit about from placo to plaoo. Tho oustom of Holooting sponsors and maids of honor sooms to havo boon handed down from past ages, j and although fow of tho veterans oan toll why thoy aro appointed, all will say that thoy aro a necessary a ljunot to tho reunions, and it han e oo to ho recognized ns ono of tho first things thought of in connection with tho big meetings. Tho oustom is ono of tho most interesting fon tures of tho reunion, a ii; brings togethor a congress of tlio fairest women of tho South and kcopB alivo tho duo admiration of Southern womanhood which has grown into a passion among tho votorans and truo Southerners. WHAT SPONSORS AUK FOR. Ono of tho most prominent Con federate votorans was asked to ox plain something about tho custom, and ho said : "Ono of tho most interesting fea tures of tho reunions is tho custom of appointing beautiful sponsors by tho different divisions, departments, headquarters and by every oamp. "This beautiful custom is, of ' course, taken from tho ago of chiv ! airy, that of selecting a beautiful woman to whom tho brave could pay homage, and for whom thoy woro ns willing to break a lauco and riss their lives as they woro to kneel and ho crowned victor in tho games 01 tournament by their lovoly hands. "In every ago tho beauty, grace and loveliness and courage of womer has ii [j'Tcd tho soldier and patriot and sustained his hopes in tho bro ol battle and in the hour of peril. "Nowhero has tho real courage patriotism and valor of women bcei more resplendent with heroism thai during the Confederate war. Th< story of the courage and devotion o Southern women during tho fou years of storm and battle whicl swept ovor tho Southland forms th brightest and most horoic picture ii that unequal strife. "It is moot, therefore, that th daughters of thc heroic women c tho Confederacy should particip?t in these reunions, and after a laps of years as tho ovening shades gathe around tho old veterans and bofoi night closes into everlasting dari ness, stand sponsor for thc campi divisions, departments and beac quarters, all composed of the brav survivors of tho Southorn army, < tho men who mado history, for the country for all timo to come. "The custom was instituted for tl first timo at tho reunion hold at Nc Orleans in 180'?., whon Adjt. Q01 Moorman had succeeded in organi/.in most of tho Southorn States int divisions, and conceived tho ide that it would add m nedi to tho beaut ami enthusiasm of tho reunion 1 have each division send a spouse with Miss Winnio Davis, the elaugl tor of the Confederacy, to prcsic over all. "This lovely and interesting fe turo was successfully carried 01 and at each successive reunion h been one of tho most prominent fe turcs of this great gathering bravo mon. Tho commencement Now Orleans has been broaden? until ovory omni) now appoints o: or two sponsors and tho dopartmc commanders, also Con. Gordon, tl commanding general, and Adjt.
