■AgatTHTPK MEET IN CAMDEN F Interesting Reminiscences and Eloquent f Address by a Comrade. ' f P Gray haired and full of reminisrenses of fifty years ago, leas than onehundred C member* of the original 1135 members of J the Third New Jersey Cavalry, which v : covered itself with glory in the battles e of the rebellion, gathered together re- c cently in the William B. Hatch Post No. 1 37, G. A. B., on Stevens street below 1 | Fifth, Camden for their annual re ^ Thomas Taylor, of this city, is a mem- t ber of this organization and was pre- a - ent at this reunion. 3 i' Former gallant cavalrymen from as s far West as Spokane, Washington and > the Northern border of the United States r aat together in the little G. A. R. post, c ? which in itself, is a memory of the Civil [ War, and fought again the battles for c the freedom of man. e There was a certain air of solemnity t about the meeting. A. few there realized I that possibly it would be the last time f K they would "see the men who had rode t knee to knee with them through the I war-destroyed lands of old Virginia. j Here and there, two old veterans, seated I side by aide, their hands wrapped around < the crooked handle of their canes, talked i «f comrades that had answered the last < reveille during the past war. Three of i the once "pride of Jersey" troops have | gone for the last trip to the front for ( orders during the past year. > Here sat two snow haired veterans, < who had not seen each other since they i were discharged with the best praise ^ that a soldier can get — "you have fought < as men should" — over 40 years ago. If ^ one sat alongside of them they would ■ have heard the names of "Litle Phil and Reliable Giant" spoken of with the fa t molarity of respect. c Three men, who had come from differ- < ent parts of the country, sat together and talked with the greatest excitement. 1 If you had gone to any of the old vet- 1 era'ns they would have told you that they were comiades Bell, Murphy and 1 Smith. You would notice that the three names were spoken of with pride and by 1 Bitting a minute longer would have heard i the story of how these thrde men had 1 rode directly up to the guns of the ' enemy at Lee's Creek to snatch the body > of their dead lieutenant. Naturally one looked at the three old heroes with renewed interest, and found them simply kind old men whose daily thoughts were of men you had only read of in books — - Lee, Grant, Sherman, Custer and scores of others. All these generals had made j history and here s'eated in n semi dark room, from the walls of which, hung ' " -tattered battle flags and in cases, sacred- i J ly preserved, were the guns and napsack- | of the past, were some of the men that i had helped these national heroes to make the history. It could hardly be wondered why these „ men were so proud of the famous com pany for, had not General Custer told 11 them that there had never been a gun 11

pointed against them that had not been captured? . Custer hatfl called them his fighting regiment and there was not a , in the room, that coold not have told you some kind word be had received , from the gallant general. The story of the famous batth- of Creek, in which these son* of had so bravely fought, .and in which many of their comrades had fallwas told and retold. Comrade Smith, of Spokane, recited the poem "The Battle of Cedar Creek." Nothing could been more impressive. The room was half dark. A ' lint : from the open door slowly waved : the old tattered flags. An the still . strong voice of the veteran rose and fell dosed your eyes and could readily the field of battle, with its dead end wounded, its smoke and screaming can non. The bursting shell was before your eyes in its terribleness. " And as the old man on the platform described 'diheridan dashing by with hi* escort ainid-'a cloud of dust and then the going into action with the Jersey boys, the old men around the room forgot tha't they were living in the twen tieth century. Their eyes flashed and they leaned towards the speaker. Backs that had been stooped a few minutes before were straight with the memory of the past. Hands, gnarled- with the marks of age and hard , work, trembled . the unseen bugler gave the calis as the old veteran, for the moment transformed into the war itself, told of that charge. Even one who has never smelt smoke or heard the whiz of the bullet of the thunder and ehash of the cannon, thrilled when the notes of the charge sounded, and he too with the rest of the veterans, arose and cheered when the speaker seized a flag from the table and waved it. One after another, the old veterans stood upand recited pieces that were uear to their hearts, and as they filed out of the room with good-byes and "sec you next year," you understood what these reunions meant to these fast ly disappearing men. The next meeting of the Third will be in Ocean (Sty. The officers for the coming year are, John L. Smith, Spokane; treasurer. Robert Bell, Treutou; and* Rurev, Camden, secretary.
