C, Oct. 13 As ttiis annual reunion of tbe Confederate Vcttr ans' association of Western North Caro lina passes into history the old"vets"! shoulder "knapsack and lIankct"aml go out from the circle of the great blazing camp lire some ul them, perhaps, ti gather at no more reunions with these comrades until the long roll beats lor the gathering in that other world, and nil. officer and private, must alike respond to the last roll call. The reunion virtually closed last night. The afternoon was taken up bv addresses from Judge A. C. Avery, Col. J. S. MeLTroy and a number of veterans. Those who lived west of Wayncsvillc left for their homes in the evening, while those living in liunconilic and cast Hay wood remained in camp until this morning. During the encampment about ;iiM veterans have reported. These have been well taken care of bv the commit tees having this entertainment in charge, aided by the people of 1 l.-ivw. od comity :inu a small contribution truin llnn- combc n contribution which. Col. -Mc- blroy said, vras made almost entirely by the lawyers of Asheville. The occasion was beyond doubt a pleasant one to those who participated, and served to bind even closer together those old brothers in arms of darker days whose reunions are alas! only too few. May they live to meet each other many times yet. At the front in the line of inarch Wednesday was a banner that told a story more pathetic, more thrilling than man could paint with words. It was a flag that had passed through the battle of Chickamauga. Around its edges it was tattered, while the myriad holes in it plainly told whete the bullets of the enemy had made their wav. With all of its service the color had been well pre served. At ChicUamauga the bearer of the flag was killed under his colors. I!. II. Cathey, first lieutenant Co. K., ii'Jth N. C, now living at Iirj sou City, rushed up and picked up the Hag, carried it awhile and then gave it over to Wesley Shelton, who upbore it to the close of the war, Mr. shelton was at the reun ion and was kept busy sho wing the re lie to the curious crowds. No man in camp received more" atten tion than Col. Henry M. Kutiedge the "boy colonel" of the" 2'Jlh N. C. He is now u prominent planter in the Pal metto State, and bad not gathered with his men since the parting at Appomat tox. When he was seen in camp his men eagerly gathered around him and talked of the happenings since last they met. Col. Kutiedge went "off to the war" from Asheville at the age of 'JO years. l'inned onto the hat worn bv M.JM. iMagie or Asncvine was a mini Con federate bill. It was a part of the niorcv he received for his services when the wai closed, together with the Sad bounty. I'ndcr no consideration would Mr. Siaglc part with this relic. An interested visitor was John (i. Lea, now of Danville, Va., "then" of Co. C, e!d N. C. regiment, Dnrringcr's bu.eie. He was with the army at the surrender, and has a fund of anecdotes. With the Western North Carolina veterans there are fewmoie popular men than Col. J. M. Kav of Asheville. Col Kav was wounded in the right arm at Chickamauga, anil no less than I 7 pieces of the shattered bones were taken from the wound. Ivx-Clerk J. R. I'atterson of Asheville is never at a loss for a story to tell. Some one mentioned the name "Tarheel" in camp, which reminded him that the Vir ginians in the war time would call out to the North Carolinians: "Cot any tar?" And the reply would come ip.iick as a Hash: "No, we gave it all to Vir ginia to get her men to stick to the bat tlefield ! " One of the Kough and Reaelics t Co. I" Hth N.C.I inciimp ws W. M.

His first vole was cast for Jefferson Davis, and, said he, "I have been putting them in straight ever since. County Treasurer Courtney of llim- eombe, the filer of Co. I., U5th N. C, found an old timer m the shape of a file made of steel and said to have been in use in Cornwallis' army in the Revolu tion. The fife belongs to I'inkir.v Mc Clnre of Haywood, and it is said that the claim as to its being with Coiuwal lis can be fully substantiated. Mr. Courtney manipulated it awhile am! pronounced it a good one. Nobody in camp felt more at home and satisfied than Captain A. li. Thrush ol liuiicombe. He was in demand in everv group. I rot. II.

John Hrwin, when asked where he got a $-0 Confederate bill which he wore on his coat lapel, replied Tought tor it." Col. Kutiedge took with him to the en campment the old flag of the Cane Creek Kitfcs. On it in bend lettering were the words: ""Liberty and our native soil." Capt. Stephen Whitaker, Co. 10., 1st battalion. Thomas' I.cgiou, came down to t he reunion from his Cherokee- home. He went out as a private, but was sent back to re-cmit a company, v hich he did, and served throiig li three- e.irs of I lie war. He- was i lirougli the valley ol u ginia with Maj. Slrnigliclil. Lieutenant Ccoigc 11. Mills, Co. C, lOth N. C, brought with hiri the flag ol the Kutherford County Volunteers, pre sented to them by the ladies ol Kulher fotdton. In the upper K it hand coiner were the words : "In Cod vc 1'iiist; Victory or Deaih." H. N. Alexander of Kuticoiiihc was one of the vets.

The Senate dragged along until S:30 o'clock, when Voorhees, challing under the continued roll calls, demanded to know of l'rve of Maine who was in the chair, to what extent the privilege cf calling for a quo rum could be abused. The scene wau a brilliant one. The setting of the fierce struggle in progress on the floor in the dazzling glare of the artificial lights was one to impress the niiid and fascinate the eve. The galleries were hanked to the doors. In the reserved galleries were many ladies, their bright dresses adding color to the scene. The press gallery overhanging the President's chair, was crow ded with busy corres pondents, scratching; away with persis tency. Ik'low on tbe floor, was the wreck of a parliamentary battle, then 32 years old. The venerable Senator Stewart look ing like a patriarch vi:.h bis long white heard, was grinding monotouslv away n hile the hatrgard faces around him be tokened the long strain to which the attempt to force the bilver men to yield bv a test of brute streiiiith had sub jected the Senate. Mr. President, my inquiry, said Mr. Voorhees with head erect, and defiant, "is whether there isanv limit or restraint on the rule permitting Senators to make the point of no quorum." "In the terms of the rule," said Mr. 1'rye, who was presiding, "there is no limitation and the chair knows of no power in the presiding; officer to place a limitation."' Voorhees sank back in his seat angry, but with no further word of protest. Atl:tuthis morning, however, Mr. Voorhees said : "Mr. President, I feel thnt I have done my duty in this matter, and without comment, 1 now move that the Senate adjourn." The motion was unanimously agreed to and in instant the Senate chamber was deserted, alter a, continuous session of uS hours and -U minutes. Hiewarl H3;ij Vlie Floor, W.siiinc;to., Oct. 111. Special.
