As (Jen. Capers ad an edS ?rt? ? 1'58Ui?d.11 Mtciuh?rof his o d Brigade called for three cheers for his o d commander, which was heartily given y the entire assemblage. ' 9 The General said that he rejoiced in the occasion that brought them together o always rejoiced in such osions, as ho thought it right and proper to have sueh reunions When the war was'over the great problem that presented itself to his nitn was, What are our people to be. no v that this great contest is over? He knew it was hard to bear adversity, ami wonder ed what would be the effect upon our peo pie but ho was proud to say that that problem had been definitely, grandly solved. Our people are to-day the same high-toned ami honorable people Iba' thev always have been. Ho felt the same pride in .South Carolina now that he did twenty one years ago when we lirst heard of tho grand victory at Manoseas. The question had often presented itself. Why is it thut our people, having como out of the crush ing defeat, preserved their integrity and honor? It was because we were actuated by noble principles and did our doty No man ever loses anything by doing bis duty. Had not the Houilurn people been true and faithful m the discharge of their duty, they would not have been self respecting, ami tins good cheer would not he to day. He spoke of the faithfulness of Company "F " composed of men from the Corner section of this County. He never knew the sol diers jroin Anderson County to fail to re spond to the call of dutv. They wore al ways true. He then read the ro'll of Com pany "F," of Cist's Brigade. It contained 103 men when it entered service. Of this umber 00 were killed or died frcm wounds, ami >3 were surrendered in North Carolina bv Qen, Johnston at the close of war. When he came to the name of P. . Pruiti he patued, and said that he had never seen a braver man. He wos always in advance o? his comrades in a fight, and seemed to love deeds of daring. In closing Iiis re marks he said that the past was safe, and that the future was in our keeping. We had established a character, and that char acter should be maintained by faithfulness of our people. Turning to the colored peo ple, he said that their best and truest friends were right iure around them. Ilo would not deceive them, but desired to impress this truth upon their minds. He was fre quently cheered during his remarks. Maj. John D. Moore then Introduced Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, who said that he felt like it was an intrusion to introduce a politician into such company. He heartily approved of reunions, and* said that they ought to he held at least once a year. Un less we perpetuated the history a*nd memo ries of our successes and gallant ?eis'.i thev would be lost, while those of the successful armies would be perpetuated. We must preserve the history of our achievements for future generations. There had never been a history written of the Confederacy that he could commend. He then read ox tracts from an account published in a Northern paper of the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic recently held, ami eoiiynented at length upon the duty of the survivors in the South to follow Hie exam ple of their Northe a brethren in forming associations and holding 1 lions annual ly. He hold up a scrap of the oid flag of Orr's Regiment, and said that there was a piece of a Hag that had never trailed in the dust, and whose defenders had the respect of the world, This called forth loud cheers, in the midst of which Gen. Capers arose and said : "Now let us give a regular old Rebel yell !" and right heartily did the crowd respond. Continuing, Col. Aiken said that in order to perpetuate our history, it should be taken in hand by some one capable for tho work, and referred to Gen. Capers as one in all respects qualified for the great work. At the close of Col. Aiken's speech, Gen. Humphreys read letters from Father O'Con nor, a Catholic Priest, who had shown members of the Palmetto Riflemen many kindnesses, Gen. Butler and Col. Joseph Walker, regretting their inability to he present. He called attention to the Hag on the left of the etami of the 4th Regiment, which *.v~ preac-uied by lames at ueesourg. Va., to the Regiment. While it <vas still intact, it had many bullet holes through it. He also exhibited to the assembly a remnant ol the flag of Orr's R?giment, which had been preserved by Mr. vins Browne. When this command surren dered, the color guard tore the flag In pieces and divided it out among them. He saved his piece in the back of his vest, brought it home and kept it. He then thanked the assomblago for their closoattention, nud dismissed thorn to onjoy their dinner. Tho crowd soon broke away, and in a little while thore wore hundreds of bas kets bolng emptied or their contents by hungry and happy pooplo. While many were at dinner, a shower of rain came up, and as tho clouds were threatening many hurried off, and by Tour o'clock the placo had become quiet, only few persons remaining on tho grounds. , Taking all together, It was a groat day, and not Toss than 3000 people will long romembor ite pleasures. A Few Sido Note?. Mr. A. P. Hubbard, who was sovcrely woundod In tho breast at tho First Battio of Manassas, exhibited a small pockot Blblo, ploces of a tooth brush, a watch and chain and a sliver peucll thut were In the sido pockets of bis coat and vest when wounded, all of which were dam aged by tho ball. Tho ball first inflic ted a flesh wound in tho left nrm, and then struck tho Bible, penetrating it end entering tho left breast and coming out Df tho right, making a shallow butsovoro wound. Tbo Biblo saved bis life, tho first instance of tho kind In the lato war an rocord. "Old R'ib," a sorrel mulo belonging to Mr. S. M.

He wore tho saddle, haver sack and canteen that was uscii by Mr. Crayton during tbo war. "Old Rob .s over thirty yonrs old, and made a crop this year.

The good seasons of lasl week have made glad the hearts of our people. The crops in this community uro looking tine; there never was a better prospect. Our young people?ladies and gentlemen ?became so excited over the reports of the trans-Atlantic war, that they ordered a number of rilles. and are now practicing daily with them. From the shooting so far done, I believe the ladies will make tue best soldiers. They shoot exeeodiimlv well, .W though some of them declare they shoot with both eytt finU. The hotel has a number of summer visi tors. Some of them inquired where the streets were, as the way to tho hotel has grown up in weeds. Tue inquiry caused the authorities to cut a way from the hotel to the Spring. Some more work of this kind is needed, as all tho streets are in the same condition. V-. Card. Anderson S. C, July 2G 18S2. Mr, Editor: In reply to the card of "Countryman," in your last issue calling on me to become a candidate for tho legis lature, I desire to stato that I have deter mined to enter the Held, and to say to the people of Anderson County, that if I am supported at the next primary election for that position, that I shall represent them faithfully and to the best of my ability. II. G. Scuim.W. A Card. Mr. Editor: I hoped last week when I sent you my card In regard to W. W. Rus sell's rejiort of Sandy Springs meeting I would not have to bother vcu again with tho matter, but Mr. Russell failed to do what lie gave mc his word and honor he would do, which was that his article of correction should come out in last week's issue of the Urform Signai, word for word, OS agreed to by us. If" Mr. Russell will not or cannot get his correction published, I will have it publiai ed for him. Here it is : "My attention has beoa directed to an error in my report of the Sandy Springs meeting of 3rd June, in which 1 stateti the ohjoct to be th organization of a Demo cratic Club. This Club was organized and reported some three weeks previous with 14 members. Eighteen men joined ?t tho last meeting, of which I heard ten announce their names aloud. The siwakera were there for the purpose of expluining the Registration and Election laws. W. W. RUSSELL." Hut here is what I find instead : "In W. \V. Russell's communication of last week we are requested to make tho fol lowing correction : Sandy Springs Demo cratic Club met on June 3d, and organized with 14 members ; 18 men joined at last meeting ; 1 heard ten men give their names aloud." Now, I would like to kuow who can see any correction, senso or anything else but dodging in this. We did not organizo in June but in May. His correction or piece us published in Signal is not satisfactory. In my conference with Mr. Russell he sta ted how he, in his hurry to get his report of Sandy Springs meeting mailed in timo for publication Tic iur.de his mistakes : also, that there was a typographical error made by the printers, and hero he is again with another hatch of mistakes I suppose we will have to call thorn. I understand Mr. Russell has told certain parties in Pickens County that he had me cornered in my re ply io his article of Junc3rd, and intimated that I was begging the question. Now, Mr. Russell knows very well who the shoe was pinching, for he asked mc twice to help nini with his correction before anything was done. I anticipated this trouble with Mr. Russell, and suggested that I hrd better wait until his correction was public.?d be fore I published my card, but he seemed so anxious to bave them appear tho dame week I consente;' : so you sec I am forced to have his piece published in justice to myself. J. B. Docthit. Another Reunion.
