THE VETERANS REUNION AT TROY, ALA. Gathering of Brave Men and Beau tiful Women l THE CAMP PIKES LIT A Cl AIM UN DEB THE WHITE FLAGS OF PEACEI THE BLUE AND THE GRAY SMOKE THE CALUMET AND EE- HEESE AS BROTH- UBS THE STORY or remits Mir; A Suniptnou* Banquet and Blading Speech**. Never linoe the day* that tried men’* soul*, has Pike county, Alabama, turned out each a number of aterliug, enthusiastic as men assembled in the stir ring city of Troy, on the 10th lost., to hold a soldiers' reunion. I reached Troy on the Wedneaday night train, and found a large oonoourse of people at the depot with a band, in wait ing to escort the invited guests, among whom were Col. D. S. Troy, of Alabama, and A. B. Calhoun, of the Columbus Enquibkb. The oommittee who took these gentleman in charge consisted of Major Woods, Capts. Striokland Nall, Mc Creary and Bowles, Lieutenant Scar brough and HergeantJBryant Wilson. THE CAIIP. The guests were well provided for, yon may be oartain and, the "vets,” al ready in town, went into camp in the beautiful grove in the rear of the Baptist Church. A lot of sturdy, bearded fellows, many of whom were smooth-faced boys in the war, and many of whom returned, eoarred and maimed, from the fields where Death had for long years reaped so ample a harvest. Men from the unequalled ar my of Northern Virginia, veterans from the legions of Bragg and Johnson, rough riders who, under Forest and Stuart end Wheeler, seemed ubiquitous in the days of strife. What an interesting volume the ineidents related last Wednesday night would make ? It is anrions, but old ■oldiers rerely speak among themselves of the terrible scenes of battle, when regi menu fell in line before the hurricane that swept with the besom of deatruotion, the mad oharge on flams-belching guns, the night of battle 'mid the dead, with the certainty of a fight with the first grey glimmer of day, the gloomy prison, the desperate escape, these seem to be for- gotten when old comrades meet to talk, and somehow it is the hamerous that is remembered, end the boys relate Jheir stories and take another’s jokes with marvellous good nature and frankness. The Pike boys joked and laughed end sang, and I donbt not they passed the caoteen around, and felt awfully like perpetrating a larceny when tfie mnceent roosters in the neighborhood told them that midnight was past. Those thet slept might have dreaoipt of possible “long rolls” supplemented by the clash of arms, but not even a warlike reveille awoke them when the bright sun rose over the peaceful town of Troy. THE FB0CE88I0N. About ten on Thursday morning the town was alive with people, end cordial greetings of old oomrades rang out on ovary hand. A procession was formed in tlB court-house square headed by the Troy Hook and Ladder Company in uni form. Their fine apparatus being drawn by a pair of superb greys, the property of Capt. Nall. It is supposed there were fire hundred old soldiers in line, end ** they merahed down to the groands they gave s few sample yells, thet could not be mis- taken by a man that "fit on tother side. AT THE OBOVE. Beaching the grove the following olfi. oers took their positions: President Msj. J. P. Woods, Vioe Presidents Capt. W. H. Stricklaud, Capt. J. P. Nell, Cept. J. W. W. Jackson, Cept. J. H. Wood, Capt. W. D. Henderson, Dr. B. E. Hoey, Lieut. .ja, J. W. Soarbrough, Lieut. J. N. 8an- dsrs, Sergeant Bryant Wilson, Sergeant "T P. M. Faulk, Secretaries Cept Henry 0. Wiley,Capt. B. W. Starke, Uent Tho*. M. Marphrse, and A. C. Worthy, Eeq. The steraisee were opened with preyer by Bev. B. W. Priest. Mayor Griffin then delivered the address of welcome. The speech was replete with fine sentiments and scholarly historical allusions. I was particnlarly struck with his Honor's kind ly references to the soldiers of the North, and to the eminent fitness and propriety of these veteran . reunions South. Col. D. S. Troy, of Montgomery, who com manded the 00th Alabama, in which were two companies from Pike county, re sponded to the weloome in behalf the soldiers, in a fitting man ner, end A. B. Calhoun replied for Vie invited guests. ThlB over, Mrs. Frank Pennington, Mies Annie and Miss Tommie Crowell, with the Misses Jaekaon, ren dered the following songs in fine style, with organ aooompaniment: "The Sold iers' Graves” and “The Conquered Ban. ner.” After whioh Lieut. W. L. Wilson reed, with fine effect, the poem by Prof. Cowart of "Onr Heroio Dead." DIM NEB. The above conoinded the morning exer cises ; after which dinner wee announced, anjl at onoe hundreds of baskets were reedy to feed the assembled veterans. It was my good fprtona to be the guest of Mrs. Pennington, and if I did not eat everything laid before me, it was simply beoause there was a limit to my appetite. After dinner I had a soon of ohats with the old soldiers who gathered around, and we fought over several battles and march ed across muddy or oorduroy roads again much more pleasantly than the last time we did it. Somehow one's heart goes out to an old soldier, and when talking to him the hand instinotively goes back for the canteen in which the infantry always car. ried , and the cavalrymen batter. milk; never anything else. THE APTEENOOM. After the andience had aeseinblod in even greater force than in the morning, the order of exercises began by the road ing of the regular toasts. The first was “Lee and Jaekson—Virginia, the Mother of Presidents, has prodnoed no grander specimens of an exalted religions human ity than these two illustrious heroes. Capt. B. W. Starke, a native of Virginia, responded in an able, dignified addroBs. Alabama—Her sons are as wise and able in the councils of the State, as they ware brave and ohivalrons on the field of battle." Besponded to in fitting terms by the Hon. Win. H. Parks, State Senator from the district. Onr Honorary Members” was respond ed to by Capt. Henry C. Wiley, himself honorary member, in an address foil of animation and sentiment. In answer to the toast “Onr Absent In vited Guests” letters were read from Gen. Clayton,Colonels Oates, Sanford and Pow ell, Mej. Daniel and Capt. Feagan. ‘The Private Soldior,” the true hero, was ably responded to by W. C. Menefee, Superintendent of Fublio Instruction for Piko, and one of the bravest of her sol diers. ‘Onr Disabled Soldiera—The history of the armies of the world fails to Bhow sueh a record as has been made for them selves by tbo disabled soldiers of Ihe Sooth since the war, in the various pesos fnl avocations of life. We have no Sol- diors' Home, nor aid societies, end a pan per soldier is scareely ever seen in onr midst.” Cspt. Bowles, who is all the handsomer for his empty sleeve, respond ed fittingly to this oast, and his very ap. pesrance seemed to draw the andience. The Captain paid a glowing tribute to the ladies, but if he had half the faith he says, he would have him a good wife from the beautiful daughters of Alabama. Lieutenant Wilson responded to “The Heroio Dead of Pike County” in a speech, every word and tone of which bespoke his reverence for the fallen braves. Dr. A. St. Clair Tennille was to have responded to this tout, but was unavioda bly absent. T. A. C. Worthy, Esq., who was himself “a ration perwider” daring the unpleasantness, responded to the toast offered to "the Commissary Department “The (iOth Alabama Begiment wu re sponded to by Col. D. 8. Troy in a speech that thrilled the vast concourse. To at tempt * synopsis of it would he to des troy a splendid oratorical effort and thus do injustice to one of the ablest speakers I have beard South. Fortunately, the Colonel has promised to give me a copy of biB address whioh I promise to lay be fore your readers. The lost tout was“The Soldiers against whom we fought—Foemen worthy of our steel and magnanimous in victory.” This was responded to by Major Calhoun and as I know about what bo said it may not be improper to give an aniline of his remarks. He wu greeted with applauHi the soldiers crowding forward from every point, the better to hear him; THE BE8PONSE. My countrymen, I feel honored by the position in which I find myself placed, bat I feel at homo, for I stand before men whom I elwaye found to bo friende when the white flags were raised and the bugles sounded a truce along the line. My friends, we fought, hut we never growled u d* the soreheads in these days. [Ap plause ] Many a time when we stood faoe to face wo showed “the fellow-feel ing that made na wondrous kind” when Yankee coffee wu swapped for “Confod" tobaeco'and hard tack and beef were ex changed for eorn pone and bacon. I have slept under your blankets with you, for getting I wu a prisoner, and while my canteen held a drop I divided it with you, when the furtnnes of war placed you in my charge. [Cheers.] There wu no cause for war between as. We were sons of the lime land, rejoioing in the seme flag and sharing the glory baqaesthed by the fathers of our Bapablie. I believed I owed allegiance to the whole Union, end after careful thought I out my lot with hers, believing that I was right, and wil ling to lay down my life u the best evi dence of my devotion. You felt yon owed primary allagianoa to your Statu, and never since the days « hen Leonidu held tho pas, below Marathon did men more heroically show their devotion to a cause which they espoused. Still I o titnU help believing there was no good cause for war ; and I must charge against the politicians Notth and South, who to-day keep onr oummon country diBtraoted, the death of onr Bix hundred thousand companions, and the terrible suffering and deatruotion that eharactericed onr frotrioidal war. There wu never a day, after the first year of oonfliot, whenthe soldiera North ana Sooth coaid not have ooine together and bun friends, and made a peace alike honorable to both. But fire-eaters end abolitionists, Northern and Southern war-provokers, heartlessly drove us to the ahamblu to (ratify their whims or ambitions. 'Cheers.] Usd the protocols of Grant and Lee, and Johnston and Sherman, been agreed to, there would have been no cruel reconstruction meunres Booth. Bat, tlu! the politicians, like vultures, aims to fat ten after the soldiers had withdrawn. Hiatory hu no parallel to the disbanding of our armies North and Sonth. Croak ers prophesied lawlessness and anarchy ; but the soldiers of the North gladly threw off their uniforms, end dropping into the walks of citizen life, went to work like good men. And the gallant men who followed Lee and Johnston, returned, become the best citizens of the Sonth and they showed a heroism iu the struggles for success in civil life only surpassed by their nneqnaled fortitude in the time of war. For my breve comrades North I entertain the strongest love and admiratii n. Only brave men could have met you successfully ; but I have no lan guage to expreu my feeling for the men n gray, who, for four years, fought u never men fought. Poorly fed, they bore np with a fortitude that pnta to blush the eudnrauoe of the Greeks under Xenofhon. Bagged and shoeless, their marches were more extended than those that gave Asia to Alexsudsr, and without mon etary compensation, their exploits in arms were more brilliant than those that g aoed the world at the feet of Imperial ome. [Continued applause.] It dis- gusts ms to hear these heroes of principle spoken of, or compared with the robber knights who, in the middle ages, tilted in tournaments, and covered their venal hearts and ignorant brains with breast plates and helmets. The slouched hst was more glorious than the plnmod hel met, and the ragged grey coat covered a more deserving heart, and was more a badge of splendid manhood than all the theatrical trappings of the vaunting sons of chivalry. Out on the men who will com pare you to anything bat what you were —soldiers, whose love of country com pensated for everything else. I lo ug for the day when a better peaoe will oorno than any of the politicians have given us; when the Bepublic will reaoh ont her hands to every crippled soldier, North end South, and raising them np, proclaim proudly to the world, “These arc my jewels.” When we oan deoorate the graves of the nation's heroes unmind ful of the uniforms they wore when, from the canon of either side, we oan bnild monuments on the battle bills to Lee end Lincoln, Lyons and Jackson, Polk and MoPhernon, tho better day will come, and it is dawning. [Cheers.] Along the riv ers made memorable by their daring and on the historio billa where they fell the lie- public must claim no seotional heroism, fur tho streams that sing their requiem will be dried, and the hills whereon they sleep will be orumbled to the plain before the story of their daring dies out or the result of their heroism ceases to effect mankind, [Applause.] I see a better dsy coming, and so far as prosperity is concerned you can hasten it. Wurk only one half as hard to make the Sonth prosperous os you did to make her independent and the sun will shine on no more inviting land. Be but true to yonrselves and there is no uncer tain future before you. Your beantifnl country proves how w r ell white men can work and how amply their toil is reward ed. I am glad to have been with yon, and I feel as I look into the bronzed faces of the men and the beantifnl faces of the women that I’m a Union soldier, am standing in the midst of friends. This speech was followed by applause and kindly expressions of approval. A. A. Wiloy, Esq , an able young law. yer, from Montgomery, responded to the toast “Tho Patriotic Women of Pike County.” THE PARTE. At night a Fireman's party was given at the roouiR of Maj. Herbert, at the beau tiful reaidenceof Dr. M. N. Barron. Speak ing of Maj. Sidney Herbert, it is but just to this geutleman to ssy that much of the success of the occasion for whioh we met is due to him. Quiet and unas suming iu his manners he was indefatigable in his efforts to make everything pass off pleasantly. He forgot nobody but himself. I forgot to mention that ho was to have read the historical ad dress which showed fully what Pike coun ty did in the war. I regret I oannot give some of the data the Major mentioned ; I can only recall the fact that this county lost over seven hundred men in actnal service. I staid at Dr. Barrow’s till “the we sma hours,” and felt awfully tempted to plBy single, but I didn’t. I left Troy feeling that it was good to have been there. Arc.
