enator from Kentucky), General S. B. Buckner, and Colonel D. Howard Smith. We were not fortunate enough to arrive in time to hear these speeches, but learned that they were all admirable, and excited great enthusiasm. Miss Johnie H. Morgan (the only daughter of the gallant chief) and Miss Tommie Duke (daughter of General Basil Duke), were presented by Governor Blackburn and were received with great enthusiasm, as was also Mrs. Morris, who had been an angel of mercy to our prisoners in Camp Douglas. At night the committee were courteous enough to place on the programme and the crowd were kind enough to hear a high private in the rear rank, from Virginia, tell of The Boys in Gray, with whom he was associated, and to show by their hearty responses that the men who rode with Morgan were in warm sympathy with Jackson's Foot Cavalry. Among the letters of regret at not being able to be present on the occasion was one from President Davis, in which he said: You have justly appr

Among the letters of regret at not being able to be present on the occasion was one from President Davis, in which he said: You have justly appreciated the many endearing memories of my youth which cluster around the place of your meeting, and it would be most gratifying to me to exchange salutations with the survivors of the gallant Kentuckians who left their homes, to maintain, at every hazard, the principles embalmed in the early history of their State by the res

for the principles of constitutional freedom for which these men fought and died. That night there were magnificent fire-works at the Park. The last day was even the best of the feast. Captain Lee Hathaway spoke in eloquent terms of the Confederate Home which had been established at Georgetown, and for which Mrs. General Roger Hanson is laboring so successfully. Mrs. Hanson and Miss Morgan were received with cheers as they took their seats on the platform. Hon. J. C. C. Black, of Augusta, Ga., who rode with Morgan, was now introduced and made one of the happiest speeches we ever heard, at the conclusion of which he very gracefully and appropriately presented to Miss Morgan, in behalf of the men who followed her father's feather, a beautiful watch, chain, and diamond ring. With deep emotion, but exquisite grace, she received the beautiful gift, and the veterans made the woods ring with rebel yells. Colonel W. P. C. Breckinridge, the silver-tongued orator, who led so gallantly

re sure that it will be acceptable to our readers generally, who will desire to have, in a permanent form, the matter which it contains. We have printed a limited supply of extra numbers, which we will mail at the regular price for numbers of our Papers—fifty cents for the (double) number—on receipt of the money; and we would advise our friends to send in their orders at once for as many copies as they may desire, as the number will soon be exhausted. the Reunion of Morgan's men at Lexington, Ky., on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of July, was a joyous and interesting occasion, which we regret that our limited space now will not enable us to describe in full. About 1200 of the old command and, perhaps, 500 comrades and invited guests of other Confederate commands were present, and it was indeed pleasant to mingle with these veterans as under the shade of the beautiful grove of Woodland Park they recalled the stirring events of 1861-1865, as they rode with their gallant chief on so m

Captain West responded for Captain Tiffany in eloquent terms, and the old gentleman himself melted down in attempting to say a few words. He found that these hard fighters knew how to appreciate kindness shown them in the hour of their need. The exercises were appropriately closed with the benediction by Rev. Dr. J. L. Burrows, of Norfolk, Va. The homes of the city were thrown wide open to the men whom Lexington always gladly greeted in the shifting scenes of the war, and far famed Blue Grass hospitality was abundantly illustrated. We found our home with our old friend Major H. B. McClellan, who used to ride so gallantly with Stuart and Hampton as Adjutant-General of the cavalry corps, Army of Northern Virginia, and has, with his accomplished wife, made the Sayre Female Institute so renowned for honest teaching and accomplished graduates. Major McClellan has made considerable progress in his Biography of J. E. B. Stuart, and having had the privilege of reading some of the

Colonel J. W. Bowles, of Louisville, made an admirable speech. The proceedings of the morning were appropriately closed with a beautiful poem written especially for the occasion by our friend Mrs. Sally Neil Roach, of Louisville, and read by Major Davis. In the afternoon, the veterans attended the funeral of one of their comrades who died the day before, (alas! death stills cuts them down, though shot and shell have ceased to do their work)—decorated the graves of Morgan, and other Confederates buried in the beautif

The first day Colonel Frank Waters made an address of welcome on behalf of the City of Lexington, and General William Preston, one for both the city and county. General Basil W. Duke, President of the Association, responded in behalf of Morgan's men. There were also speeches by Governor McCreary, General A. S. Williams (senator from Kentucky), General S. B. Buckner, and Colonel D. Howard Smith. We were not fortunate enough to arrive in time to hear these speeches, but learned that they were all admirable, and excited great enthusiasm. Miss Johnie H.
