ock, From the red fields of Cross Keys, Gettysburg — the Wildernesses-- From defeats and victories:Tired trooper — weary marcher-- Grim and sturdy cannonier-- Veteran gray, and slender stripling, Hasten to encamp them here. From the mountain and the river, From the city and the plain, Sweeping down to join their leader-- Stonewall Jackson — once again.There he stands: alive in granite! By the hand of genius made Once again to rise before us, Waiting for his “Old Brigade.” Chieftain — Hero--Christian--Soldier-- King of men, and man of God! Crystalized about his footsteps, Greatness marks the path he trod.Soldiers! Ye who fought with Jackson Through the days and nights of strife; Bringing from the fields of battle But the bitter lees of life: Ye whose lips have only tasted Ashen apples from the fray; Every wound ye won beside him, Knights ye on this field to-day.Army of our old Virginia! Would ye write a legend here, That shall win from friend and foeman, Honors' reverential tear?

d enterprise on a basis of permanency, so that our children may have the means of vindicating the truth of history after the actors in the great struggle shall have passed away. We really do not know how better some one of large means could invest money for coming years and hand his name down to posterity as a public benefactor than by linking it with this effort to preserve the history of our people. We know of no better investment for even a small amount. We recommend that Judge George L. Christian be elected Treasurer and Manager of the Endowment fund of the Society. Finances. We are glad to be able to report that we have been able to fully redeem the assurance made in 1879, that we had made an arrangement by which in future the Papers will be published without risk of indebtedness to the Society. We only regret that (from various causes which we could neither foresee nor avert) our receipts fell off during 1880 and 1881, so that we could not meet our expectation of p

ral Scales) and to his noble old State, whose brave sons had drenched with their blood every battle field in Virginia, and expressed the hope that he would be invited again next year to deliver the address. General Early also bore strong testimony to the ability and gallantry of General Scales, who was true during the war and has not deserted since the war. He also paid a fitting tribute to Captain John Hampden Chamberlayne, who had died since the last reunion, and on motion of Judge George L. Christian the Association passed an appropriate tribute to the memory of this gallant soldier and distinguished citizen. In response to calls General Fitz Lee, Colonel R. E. Withers, and General Wm. Smith made stirring speeches. The officers of last year were unanimously re-elected. General Fitzhugh Lee expects to leave Richmond on Monday, November the 13th, to meet engagements to repeat, for the benefit of the Society, his superb lecture on Chancellorsville at Darlington, Novembe

illiant career of victory, as that shown by General Lee--the first military chief of the age, yet greater in the college than even in the camp; the noblest member of a splendid chilvary, yet most noble amid the ruins of his cause, his country, and his fortunes; the one true knight sans tache, sans peur, et sans reproche, the living embodiment of all that is grandest in the ideals of the past as of all that is simplest in the promised republican manhood of the future; ideal soldier, pattern Christian, selfless man, and stainless gentleman. Little as man can know of the ways of Providence, what indication, however clear, of the probable purposes of Heaven could for a moment countervail to my conscience or to yours the warranty given for the righteousness of a cause by the names of Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert Edward Lee? We are willing that the world shall judge our cause and people, if only the world shall have the facts, and not the false and slanderous version with whic

the course of time we can accumulate an endowment by the proceeds of lectures, small contributions, and the surplus of receipts over our current expenses. We have made an encourging start. The recent tour of General Lee, the grand meeting in New Orleans last April, and the recent lecture of Father McGivney in Baltimore show what can be done by the zealous help of our friends, and we beg that in every quarter they will move in this direction. The Executive Committee have elected Judge George L. Christian--the gallant soldier, able jurist, and incorruptible gentleman — Treasurer and Manager of our Permanent Endowment Fund, and contributors may feel assured that the money could not possibly be in safer hands, or under better management. Push on the work and let us be able to announce at an early day that an ample endowment is secured. General George D. Johnston has been doing noble work for the Society in Jackson, Vicksburg, Port Gibson, Yazoo City, Natchez, Columbus, and
