for theATLANTA, QA., July '20.-A host

of heroes, trending historio ground,invaded Atlanta to-day. For twodays tho Confederate Voterans andtheir friends havo been coining in,and a conservative estimate of thopeople now in Atlanta to attend thoeighth annual reunion of the Vete¬rans is 40,000. Tho railroads areadvised that several special trainsare on tho way, and ns tho trafilo in¬ward bound is still very heavy, to¬morrow's arrivals aro expected toswell tho total number of visitors totho 50,000 mark.

Confcdoraoy's ranks are well rep¬resented, yet much disappointmentis expressed at the unavoidable ab-Honco of Airs. Jefferson Davis. Mrs.Davis' health is not good, ami fear¬ing that tho journey from Richmondwould overtax her, thc first lady oftho Confederacy has given up thetrip. Miss Winnie Davis, however,is expected to morrow morning. SheAV i ll bo met at tho depot by a recep¬tion committee and escorted to thcresidence of Mrs. William M. Davis,on Washington street. Thc names

of Cen. Joseph Whoolor, the gallantcavalry loader, and Con. Fit/.hughLeo aro on every lip, tho regret fortheir absence, howovcr, being setaside by tho fact that they are noblyrepresenting tho South in thc strug¬gle with »Spain.Thc interest of tho day centered

in tho first meeting of tho Veteransat tho Auditorium in Piedmont Park.There, surrounded by ten thousandof his devoted followers, Cen. JohnB. Cordon, commander-in-chief ofthc Veterans, delivered an address,which thrilled his auditors and calledforth a responso in terms which admitof no doubt as to the Oeneral's placein the hearts of his followers. Thespeeches of the day abounded withpraises of tho heroie doods andachievements of the sons of tho Southin tho present war, and the names olHobson, bagley, Schley and lihuwere cheered to the echo. CenCharles li. Hooker, of Mississippithe orator of the day, was given ícordial reception and his address wa*well received.Ten thousand Veterans and theil

friends filled to overflowing the bigAndito, un nt Piedmont Park th iimorning, and cheered the livingheroes of tho Confederacy and tlunames of the dead, ({lowing tribute.'were showered on the records andachievements of the sons of tluSouth in the war with Spain. Abeaming July sun sent his hottesrays through the. windows of tinamphitheatre, but the heat did no

diminish tho enthusiasm of tinassembled thousands. When CenJohn I». (Jordon entered the hall tinapplause and cheering were deafening. The General, when he reachectho platform, walked from one sidito the other, bowing his aeknowledgments again nod again. Thenwas no doubting his place in thhearts of tho Veterans.

It was one hour and a half afto:tho time Hot for opening tho convention when Con. Carey Evans, tincommander of thc Georgia dclogation, called the assemblage to orderOn tho stage, grouped about CenCordon, were Gen. Stephen I). LeeGen. Caholl, of Texas, Gen. "Tig'Anderson, Gen. C.

(¡KN. GORDON'S SPEECH.Governor, Gen. Evans, Mr. Mayor

and Gentlemen of thc Committee :

AH a Georgian at homo my properplace in this program would seem tobo among those who bid these Vete¬rans welcome and not as thc mouth¬piece of thc recipients of that wel¬come. The oilioinl station, however,to which my comrades have calledmo demands that in their name 1 re¬

spond to those heartfelt greetings.rom my native Stato and her capi¬tal city. Geographically, therefore,I should play thc part of host, butoflicially I must speak as your guestAnomalous as this double capacitymay seem, it is not without its com¬

pensations. In my capacity of hostand dutiful son I can loan as it worton tho bosom of my mother, Geor¬gia, and feel 'ncr boating heart throb¬bing with a boundless love and sym¬pathy for all survivors of thc South'iunrivaled annies ; while in thc capac¬ity of guest I throw around thostvisiting comrades tho arms of a brothor and in their name pledge theilgrateful acknowledgement for thismagnificent reception.

Georgia and her fair daughter, Attanta, in thus opening their arms amhearts to receive us, arc in no sonst

surprising us. Wc know what to oxpoet before wc came. The norma

position of this State and city iknown of all men. Their place is atho front, whether in sending soldicrs to war, or in honoring thom iipeace ; and there is not a survivoof those immortal legions who borthc stainless cross of battle tothousand victories, who docs not feeat bonni in this State and city. Alof these Confederates . realize tbathey are at home, and their pulsinhearts tell of their appreciation ilanguago far mon; eloquent and tendor than any which I could utter.And now, my fcllow-countrymoi

may I ask if you have contemplateand comprehended the full significanco of this splendid reception, anof ot!)ors Uko it which havo booaccorded us by Louisiana, by Aliibama, by Mississippi, by Texas, bVirginia, by Tennessee, by all thpeople wherever it has been our foi'une to convene? How strang*how marvelously strange, must thoaannual outpourings appear to all perploH outside of tho South's border.On another occasion I felt impolie

to advert to tho peculiar signifioancof these Confederate reunions} butho mind can never tiro of ¿hoianalysis-philosophy, patriotism, viitao and religion-may all feed anfeast upon such a thorne withoiexhausting it; and the spirit of lilcrty, tho reverence for law, and f(regulated government rejoicos an

grows strong in tho sentiment an

high purpose which these gatheringovoko. No other conventions (

ox-soldiors in all tho earth are so fr<from self-seeking, so untainted I;passion or prejudice, so purophilanthropic not more broadpatriotic. No disbanded and dfcatcd soldiery has ever been for i

long a period tho special objects <

so unique and universal approbateand affection hy a pooplo for whooausc that soldiery contended unsucessfally.

In every other ago, in every otbland, popular plaudits have been bithc echoes of the shouts ami martipageants of victory. Publio bono

REUNIONJe in the Gaterans.

the South as Sponsorsterans.costly demonstrations and universalaeolaim havo been the heritage ofsuccessful annies. Imperial Koine,intoxicated with tho glory of con-

quost, erected lofty arches to hormighty warriors, only when theyboro her proud eagles abovo thoranks of conquering legions. Francowas united and exultant under thogroat Corsican so long ns he was vic¬torious ; but be, too, was dofcated,and at his fall, the legislativo assem¬

bly of his people abandoned and de¬manded tho abdication of this hith¬erto idolized leader. Nor do ourown bravo countrymen, thc bravoVeterans ol the Union army, furnishany parallel to tho conditions whichsurround us. When thoy returnedfrom tho horrors of war it was tohomes of increased comfort, to aug¬mented wealth and with arms intheir hands and victory on theirbanners. They returned to an estab¬lished and grateful government.Tho return of tho disarmed and

disbanded Confederates, however,was to people made poor ; to a landmade desolate, covered with black¬ened ruins, where overy home was inmourning, overy breath was a sighand every breeze a messengor of woe.And yet, after a third of a centuryhas passed, after the remnants ofthose annies have grown gray, andtho government for which theyfought lives only as a memory, thesegrim Southern warriors gathor inannual reunion, and are the recipientsof a boundless hospitality dispensedby this recently impoverished butgrateful people.On what page in history will you

find a similar history ? In what ageor country have the shattered rem¬nants of defeated armies, banded to¬gether in a brotherhood so uniquo, n

purpose so unselfish ? Among whatdofcated pcoplo has ever boon wit¬nessed such fidelity to the memoriesof an unsuccessful anny, coupled willisuch unostentatious, genuine and re¬

sponsive loyalty to the governmentfrom which theyr so resolutely andconscientiously sought separation ÍI challenge the world'" annals tofurnish a parallel.

In conclusion, let mc inquire whalit all means. Simple justice to thesebrave and patriotic men, who yieldedat last to overwhelming numbers ant]resources; justice to thc Southon:pooplo, whose devotion to their cause

must be measured by the. counties!sacrifices they made for it ; justiceto thoir present attitude toward t»t<American republic, whose honor anefreedom and flag they a.'o a.wayiready to defend ; justice to i!<" v »Ifrespect and manhood of Southonyouth, who aro to stand for all timewith Northern youth in defence o:

popular liberty ; justice to the pasand justice to the future, all domainthat our own posterity and all mankind shall know the meaning of thesiphenomenal demonstrations over tinthinned ranks of a broken but promand once resistless anny.Our heroic brothers of the Unioi

army need no such care1, in guardimthemselves from misapprehensionand for tho reason that they aro, sito speak, tho special wards of higreat nation. All of its energies, alof its inline nee and a large sharo oits taxing power are subject, whoirequired, to their demands. Kesidesan a rule, it in true tho world ovothat victory itself vindicates, whilidefeat dooms to misroprcscntalioitho causo of tho vanquished.

Let us hope, however, that impartial history, scoured through tho Iabois of our broad-minded and ablhistorical committee, will avert fronour people such a wrong.

Again, and finally, I press thquestion, what is tho inmost mean

ing of these Con federate pageantsAro they due', to any covert or siniflter aims, or, in tho remotest dogrocto self-seeking? Their opon sessionand published proceedings, which altho world is challenged to inspectfurnish tho ansv/or : Do thesreunions and popular domonstrotions, which attend them, drn\their inspiration from any suggettion of disloyalty to either of thc tnmondons results of the war-thfreedom of the slave and the otenuunity of tho republic? Tho protec¬tion of tho negro by Southern courthis rolinnoo for security upon Soutlorn sontimcnt and Iiis oduoatio

through white taxation in Southernschools, furnish tho South's nnsworas to tho First. To tho second : Loy¬alty to a perpetual union of thoStates and to tho honor and glory oftho republic-tho South has hooucontinually answoring sinco tho olosoof our civil war; and she is answor¬

ing to-day by tho presence andprowess of her horoic sons at thofront in tho war with Spain. HovLee, her Wheeler, nor liagloy, herliluo, hoi Hobson and her thousandsof volunteers who sprang to aruis atthoir country's call, aro answoringfrom their oamps from tho Philip¬pines and from tho janglos of Cuba.You, my Confederate comrades,would bo thero if tho country neededyou. Many of you assembled herowould have boon thero but for im¬paired health and failing strongtli.But our sons and grandsons aro thero.With our prayers and blessingsthey aro cnlistod in this war forhigh and holy purposes.

s Amongtho great ends to bo attained in thisconflict with Spain, thc freedom ofoppressed islands in both oooans, thowider inilnonce of America in thccouncils of tho nation, tho increasedrespect for her power on land andsea, there is stili another achievementto be attained, no less glorious andfar reaching : namely, tho oblitera¬tion of all traces of distrust amongoursolvos and the complete and toelong delayed unification of thoAmerican pcoplo, which shall bccalled in question no moro forovcr.Tho oration of the day was doliv-

erod by Gen. Charles E. Hooker, olMississippi. Con. Hooker was intro¬duced by Con. Cordon. Ho saulthat when tho surrender was mad<tho Confederate soldiers soparatodwith arms in their hands. Ho sanit was a capitulation, tho Confederates hoing allowed to depart iipeace, unmolested so long as tho}observed their parole."There is not one Confederate bu

has kept tho torms of his capitulation," said tho speaker.

Referring to tho surrender at Appomattox, Cen. Hooker stated tbasome of tho Federal ofliccrs desire«to fire a salute in honor of the victory. Evorything was in rondinesfor the salute, when Cen. (»ranilearning of it, said :

"Stop that firing. Wo havo n

great victory to bc proud of, for whave been ioui

>jars capturing thosi

8,000 men who have laid down theianns."Gen. Hooker was one of tho coan

sol appointed by tho State of Missis¬sippi to defend Jefferson Davis whoho was charged with treason. JIspoke feelingly of the way in whicthe President of the Confederacywith supreme abnegation, took upohimself the sins of all his peopliOnly ono reason, said thc Generacould be assigned for tho failure ttry President Davis. His prosccutoiknow ho was not guilty. They kne<his allegiance was first due to hi3tate, and, as a loyal citizen of Miltissippi, when she seceded, it was hiduty to espouse her cause.

In commenting on the fact tinthc South's representatives wero taling a prominent part in tho wiwith Spain, ho took occasion to atest to tho bravery and gallantryCon. Wheeler."They may heat him for Congre

in Alabama," said tho speaker.««They'll never do il," shouted

score of voices from the audience««They may beat for Congress

Alabama," continued tho speaki"but WO will erect a magnifiée;monument to lum."

(jen. I looker referred, in the coanot his remarks, to the fact thattho graves of the Confederates in tlnational cemetery at Arlington woheadstones hearing the inscriptio"Rebol." He told of a visit to tlcemetery with Homo ladies, who sait was an outrage that such a thiishould be.

"It is eminently proper," said tGeneral to thom, "that th OHO pohoys who woro tho ragged Confodrate coat of gray, should ho burihero on tho ground which belongto tho second greatest rebel tlcountry has over produced, Rob«10.

passion among tho votorans and truoSoutherners.

WHAT SPONSORS AUK FOR.Ono of tho most prominent Con¬

federate votorans was asked to ox-

plain something about tho custom,and ho said :

"Ono of tho most interesting fea¬tures of tho reunions is tho customof appointing beautiful sponsors bytho different divisions, departments,headquarters and by every oamp.

"This beautiful custom is, ofcourse, taken from tho ago of chiv-airy, that of selecting a beautifulwoman to whom tho brave could payhomage, and for whom thoy woro ns

willing to break a lauco and risstheir lives as they woro to kneel andho crowned victor in tho games 01tournament by their lovoly hands.

"It is moot, therefore, that thdaughters of thc heroic women c

tho Confederacy should participâtin these reunions, and after a lapsof years as tho ovening shades gathearound tho old veterans and bofoinight closes into everlasting dariness, stand sponsor for thc campidivisions, departments and beacquarters, all composed of the bravsurvivors of tho Southorn army, <tho men who mado history, for thecountry for all timo to come.
