Old Co. "B," 14th S. C. V., Holds
a Reunion.-A Pleasant De
scription of a Very Pleas
MR. EDITOR: The old soldiers of
Compauy B, 14th regiment of
South Carolina, had chosen last
Saturday as the date of their re
union, and Richland Springs as
the appointed place. Having a de
sire to see those faithful old he
roes meet, and not having a very
great expanse of space to overcome,
we went down to be a spectator.
Where is the youth whose bosom
would uot bc overcharged with en
thusiasm, and whose very soul
would not he animated when be
holding the bravest men that ever
shouldered arms greeting one n
other after thirty years of separa
tion? As I saw them shake the
hands that never refused to raise
arms in defense of what they
thought to be their dearest rights.
I felt as though I stood upon con
secrated soil-yes, consecrated by
the blood of those who sleep
peacefully beneath the green of
that land for which they died.
Again, I thought of those old sol
diers' experience-the changes
the vicissitudes of life had wrought
iu the personality of each within
the last thirty years: how often
they must have thought of one an
other; and how their children
must have heard the oft-told sto
ry of their comrades in arms.
Ob, memory! faculty of the
human soul, thou alone can in the
twiukliug of an eye, link the past
with the prespnt and send, thun
dering down the ages, that mes
sage of heroism from ancestry to
posterity-that message, I say,
which is wont to kindle in the
bosom of every youth a burning
love for his race and country.
The company met m the school
house and arranged th? programme
of the day. Hon. W. J. Talbert
was elected orator of the occasion.
Then the company formed in Hue
and marched to the stand, pre
ceeded b}' delightful ' straius of
music produced by the Palmetto
State Brass Band from Summit,
S. C. On reaching Ihe stand
Capt. Wess, who had been elected
chairman, introduced Mr. Tal
bert who came forward and deliv
ered a good speech.
In his speech be commented on
the bravery of our Southern sol
diers, and he said further that
they were never wbipt, but just
concluded to quit killing thc Yan
kees, and came home. Ho also
spoke in warm terms of the en
durance and bravery of our wo
men, and said that if he wished to
find one person more loyal to home
and country than another, he
would look for that one among
the women who stood as living
monuments amid tho heat of four
years of the most severe warfare
that ever devastated a country.
On this point Mr. Talbert sure
ly met the approbation of every
man who hus any conception of
tho virtues of our women. You
might become a wanderer o'er
earth; yea travel o'er mountain
and valiey, hill and dale; mingle

on earth ; women, without whom
