he should he here and join in the pleasures
of the day. 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.

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.
