MijLl. LONDON'S ADDRESS. Presentation of Confederate Monu ment to County and Acceptance. Below we give the excellent ad dress of MaJ. Henry A. London of Pittsboro at the unveiling of the Confederate monument in Graham on the 16th inst., as it was deliver ed and as reported by the stenog rapher. (Ma). London spoke off hand.) The speaker was introduced by Col. Jacob A. Long, who gave his speech to a newspaper reporter, but did not keep a copy and has been unable to get the original re turned. INTRODUCTION. Col. Long said, in part : "It is well for us now and then to turn aside from the duties of every day life, and together cele brate some great event in which we all have a common interest; to recall the achievements of the great and good of our own race and blood, and speak some word, perform some hot, or direct some memorial which will keep fresh in our memories services, sacrifices, and events that ought not to be. forgotten. Such occasions serve to keep alive and nourish the qual ities that make people great. "They enable us the better to appreciate and understand that specific and mighty emotion—pa triotism—which filled the hearts of the people of this country during the Revolutionary War and during the War between the States—how our forefathers left their homes and fought with Washington and Green for American Independence —how those whose memories we honor to-day, in 1861, left their homes and loved ones from all parts of this country, and from all ranks of society, to assist in driv ing back the invaders of their State, and if need be to lay down their lives in that glorious cause. "The Daughters of the Confeder acy in publishing the name of the orator on this occasion omitted the principal one. Itself is the principal orator on this occasion. -. "No living lips however eloquent, could awaken the memories and touch the hearts of the surviving men and women qf lfßl-1865, as does the imthetic utterances of that silent figure. "It tells you that there is an other thing even greater than win ning victories, and that is bearing defeat like men. It tells you that he, like his greatest general, with memories ful( of the past turned their faces to the future believing with him that 'through the ages one increasing purpose runs' and noth in the unlverjjf' '-walks with aimless feet,' and that the call to every man is to do his duty to his coun try as he understands it in peace and in war, snd leave the conse quence to flim who rules all things wisely and well. "One of the men, then a mere boy, who followed the immortal Lee, and whose duty required him to carry the last message from one commanding officer to another, on the day Lee surrendered his army on the fflth of April, 1885, is with us hero to-day. -He has achieved great distinction as a lawyer, as an editor, as a statesman, us an orator. I take the greatest pleas ure in presenting to you thia day the diatingulahed lawyer, editor, statesman, orator, but above all the gallant old Confederate soldier, Henry A. London of North Caro lina." MAJ. M>M>OVH ADDHKMN. Major London said : Ladies, Gentlemen, and last, but not least, M.v Beloved Comrade*: It give* me Very great pleasure to be with „vou to-day and unite in honoring the memory of the Con federate soldier* of Alamance county, but I esteem it a compli ment that I do not deserve to have been selected to addreas you on this occasion. As Was truly said by Col. Long, the orator of this occaaion Is that silent figure upon that pedestal. It will stand for all time to come, though its lips 'are silent, yet Its figure and face are more eloquent than the woq;dt of any orator, and W|U stand as a silent witness of the past, of the great heroic deeds of of its comrades, of whom it is a type. No county in North Caroli na deserves more than Alamance county In honoring ita soldier*. The very name of Alamance beto kens what Is true. The name "Alamance" itself, in the Indian language meant "Blue Clsy",-from the stresm to which Its nsme was given, and,, when the county was created its name became Alamance, or Blue Clay, and Always its people have been "true blue." Even from the early Colonial times, the peo ple of Alamance have been famous for their defense of liberty and for their heroism. Do you know that more battles were fought on the soil of the present county of Alal - than In any other count/ of the thirteen original colonies* Beginning on the 16th day of May,, 1771, just 143 years 4go to-day, was fought the Battle of Alamance, wherein the Regulators, the fore fathers of many of you fought Governor Tryon. That was the prelude to the bloody war which began four years thereafter. Again, during the Revolutionary War, only three miles west of this place, was fought a battle called "Pylea Hacking , Match",* when 4M Tories were cut to pieces by Harry Let's Lrfiuo \>f CiViiF/,- Afiiil, iuOtuvi battle waa fought at Cane Creek, at what was then known as Lind ley's Mills, now called Mills. At that place on the 14th of B?ptember, 1781, when David Pan ning, the noted Tory, was carry ing to Wilmington as a- prisoner, the Governor of the State, Thomas Burke, whom he had captured at HiUsboro the day before, he was met by a band of whig* who attempted to intercept his march! | and release the Governor. After a bloody fight they" were unsuc- a bloody fight they were unsuc cessful. So there were three en gagements upon the soil of Ala mance county. It is no wonder then that with such an ancestry Alamance sent into the Confeder ate Army such brave and gallant men. ' ,Do you know that your "county sent into the Confederate Army a* many men as it had voters in the county ? There were nine com panies organized in this county, and I will briefly refer to them, for they are the men whom we are called upon to-day to honor. There were three companies enlisted for the war. Now, you veterans re member that there were two classes of troops. The 10,000 sol diers raised by the State and com posed of the first ten regiments enlisted for three years or the war; the others were volunteers who enlisted for 12 months. There were three companies, however from this county that enlisted for the war at the , very beginning. Now, for fear that I might make a mistake of the matter of history, I have taken the trouble to get the names of the companies and write them down here. Those three companies were Cojnpany "A" commanded by Capt. J. W. Wilson, who after became Major Wilson; and Company "E' - com manded by J. W. Lee, who after wards became a Colonel, In the Sixth Regiment. Then there were Company "I" of the Eighth Reg iment, commanded by Capt. Gas ton D. Cobb. Those three compan ies were enlisted for the war. Now the other companies were the fol lowing : Company "E" of the Thirteenth Regiment was raised by Capt. Thos. Ruffin, Jr., afterwards Judge Ruffin; Company "H" of ths Fifteenth Regiment commanded by Capt. John R. Stockard, and I bow in honor to that distinguished vet eran who still lives to bless his country, and by the way he is the only living captain of any of the companies who were first elected from this county. Another Com pany was "K" of the Forty- Seventh Regiment, Commamded by Robert L. Faucette, and remember this, that he remained its Captain throughout the entire war, until the surrender at Appomattox, and was then commanding the regi ment and •signed the paroles oi that regiment. Company "F" oi Fifty-Third Regiment was com commanded by Capt. O. W. Al bright; that company was in the Fifty-third Regiment. The last Colonel in that Regiment, Colonel James T. Morehead is here to honor us to-day with his presence. Company "1" of the Fifty-seventh Regiment command ed by Capt. Wm. A. Albright, and last but not least, Company "G" of the Seven ty-second or Junior- Reserves, or boy soldiers, "God bless tmem," those whom President Da vis said were the "seed corn", and boys though they were, they fought as bravely as the bronzed veteran's of Lee's Arniy. Their condust at Ft. Fisher and Benton ville, the last battle In this State during the war, was complimented were never buried; many of them by the Generals in the highest terms. Another Company was rais ed in Orange county, and half or mope than half its men were from Alamance county. Its was Copt. Robert Bingham. That com pany was Company "G" of the Forty-fourth Regiment. Now, be sides these companies organized in your county, hundreds, I may say, of Alamance boys enlisted in companies organized In other counties. Particularly In the First and Second Regimentss. 1 notice in looking over the roster of one those regiments, that.'in Company "B" of the First Regiment there were eleven Thompsons from Ala mance county. Ido trust that some of them are now living. So that Alamance county sent her full quota of troops to the Confeder ate Army, and> the battle-fields of Virginia attested their bravery and their heroism ,and it is well now to rear this monument to their memory. Many of them lie In graves unknown; many of them were prisoners and died in North ern prisons away fro;n home and loved ones. Their ashes are un known. To all of them, as well as to those who have gravss that are marked, and are strewn with flowers by loved ones—to all who loved them wherever they be, that monument will stand as a silent aentinel and as an eloquent ora tor to speak of their heroism. "We care not whence they came, Dear In their Ilfeleaa clay; Whether unknown or known to fame, Their cause and country still the same; • They died—and wore they gray." The young people of to-day have no conception—cannot imagine the da ngera and the hardahlps through which the Confederate soldiers pasted during thoae terrible day*. Let me iltuatrate by one or tvo instances. Company "C" of ' the Fourteenth Regiment from Anson county carried into the battle at Sharpaburg 46 men, and of that number all ware killed and wound ed except one and he had i bul let lodged in hia haveraack. The aame company having been re cruited at the battle of Chancel loraville in May '63, carried into that battle U men, and every one of them fere killed or wounded At the battle of Gettysburg Com pany T" from Caldwell county In the Twenty-sixth Regiment car carried Into that battle $t men, and rrvrjruß# ui tnvn wn» kuivu Of wounded except one, and he waa knocked down by the concuaaion of a ahell. Now, young people can you Imagine through what dangers the Confederate aoldiera paaaed and what hardahipa they endured? Many of you remember that their footatepa oftentimes were marked with blood from their bare feet, without shoea, marching on aa bravely aa it you were aa well clad aa your enemies. Why, let me illustrate for a moment the spirit and deermlnatio£ of the , Confederate soldiers : After fight ing' nearly four yeart and endur ing all .these privations which, no tongue can describe; after Peters burg was evacuated on the night of April 2nd, 1885, Lee's army with drew, and those men who had been in the trenches there suffering so long fqr thj want of something to cat, fighting almost by day and night, those men marched 100 miles that week "to Appomattox, and on the morning of the 9th *of April, our line formed to charge the ene my, and those men gaunt with hunger and stupefied from the loss, sleep, for they had been marching day and night and fighting at every turn, those men when all must have known that every hope gone, yet when the command to charge was given, rushed forward with a yell, and with the same zeal and spirit that had animated them in the first Manassas battle • • • and we drove the ene my back one mile. The Confed federate soldier never knew when to stop lighting; they had such confidence in General Lee, their immortal leader, that they would follow him wherever he told them to go, and on that very morning of the surrender many a bronzed cheek was moistened with tears of sorrow and regret that he was not permitted to fight any longer. Against what odds did we con tend ? The North sent into their armies nearly three million men from first to last. The Confeder acy sent into its army about 600,- 000, and the North had all the world to fall back upon for it* recruits,' whereas we had nothing. Our ports were blockaded. No op portunity for receiving munitiop and arms or clothing or food, and do you know that there were more foreigners and negroes in the Northern Army than there were Confederate soldiers in army. Listen ! Kemember thse figures : There were 494,900 foreigners and 180,097 negroes in the Federal Army, nearly 700,000 men—more than our total army—and yet with all these odds against us we fought them successfully for four years, and, at last, we were not whipped, but Just wore ourselves out whipping them. While we had no guns that were fit to shoot at the beginning of the.war, the old flint-and-steel muskets we turned into percussion • • * so as to shoot differently, and how then did we succeed? Why, we whip ped the Yankees and got their own guns and whipped them with them, and many of you many have shot the Yankees with their own guns. In the - seven days' fight around Richmond, _ we cap tured 35,000 stands of arms and in other battles other arms. So that they had the most men; they had better arms and equipment; their soldiers were better clad; they had comfortable clothing; they had shoes to wear, many of you did not, and yet it took them four years for us to W'ear ourselves out whipping them. Why, in the las great campaign of '64 when Gener al Grant telegraphed to Wahing ton that he was going to fight it out on this line if it took all sum mer, he changed his mind, h edid not fight it out on that line, but in oue month's time he lost more men, killed and wounded and pris oners than General Lee had in his army, and they had the world, — Europe and Africa both to recruit from, and it was by this constant fighting and this constant re duction of their number that en abled them to compel a surrender at Appomattox In every battle of the war North Carolina suffered more heavily than those of any other State. Do you know, young people, that North Carolina lost more men from wounds and disease than any other State in the South. Do you know that North Carolina lost more than twice as many men as any other State. Do you know that North Carolina lost almost three times aa many men as any other Southern State? This is no idle boait of mine, but let ore give you the fig ures, for I never say anything in a speech about the war that I cannot prove. North Carolina lost in that war 40,275 of her beat and braveat boya; Virginia lost 14,794 ; murk you the difference. Georgia 10.OT4; Mississippi 15,368; South Carolina 17,683. Theae figure* can not be disputed. Therefore, I say that North Carolina haa Just cause to ba proud of her Confederate history, and Alamance county haa greater cauae to be proud fo her sons in that bloody struggle'. There is one thing to which I wlah to alude and correct a base slander upon the Confederate Statea of America, and that is in regard to the reatment of prison ers. The Northern paper* were filled with pictures and atoriea of the cruelty to their eoldiera In the Southern prisons. It is true that prison life Is not pleasant, even I imagine In the Jail of Alamance county, but I do say that the Southern Confederacy treated the priaonera in Its custody aa well as It could be done, and the United States Oovernment did not treat our prisoners as It could hare done. The priaonera In the South ern prison had the same rations as the brave Confederate soldiers who were fighting in the field, and you know they were scant enough, but it . was all we could do.

They had everything, medical supplies, quin ine, and everything else that was proper for the sick; they had all the resources and supplies that were necessary for man to liveup on, and yet they starved and froze to death more of our men there than all of theirs who died in the Southern prisons. Listen ! there were 270,000 Northern Bolcliers in our prisons, and of that number only about 22,000 died. There were 220,000 Confederate soldiers in the Northen prisons, and of that num ber over. 26,00 Odied. In other words, remember this, that less than 9 per cent of the Northern prisoners died in the South and more than 12 pet cent, of the Southern prisoners died in North ern prisons. Now, If the South did treat the Federal prisoners so cru elly, what must have been the cru elty practiced upon our soldiers in Northern prisons? Oh! the shame, the shame of it. Some of you men perhaps, were in the Northern prisons, and you may, (I am tell ing the truth about it), have been been guarded by negro soldiers who would shoot your comrades down without any excuse. North Carolina sent into he Con federate army one-fifth of the to tal number of soldiers that com posed that army; although at the beginning of the war, according to the census of 1860 ,our white pop ulation numbered only 629,942, yet the State, of that number of peo ple, men, women and children, sent into the Confederate , army 125,- 000 soldiers, and oh! what sol diers they were; men of Ala mance, women of Alamance, chil dren of Alamance, remember through all your lives to honor the living Confederate soldiers as well as the memory of the dead ones. Oh-! it is a beautiful thing, eminently fit and proper to. erect a monument in front of every court house throughout our Southland in memory of the Con federate soldiers, but, m.v friends, while that is something to be com mended, and we thank the Daugh ter* of the Confederacy of the coanty for having this monument placed here, yet let me tell them and all of you younger people not to forget the living while you hon or the dead.

Just one illustration: I well remem ber when a boy studying history. It had a great deal to say about Sergeant Jasper. When the Brit ish bombarded Charleston, S. C., in the Revolutionary war, and how when the flag was shot frbm the breastworks Sergeant Jasper jump ed over, seized the flag, and plac ed it back, and a monument to day in honor of the gallantry ot | Sergeant Jasper. M.v friends, North Carolina S2nt into the army I hundreds of Sergeant Jaspers. Why, down at Fbrt Pishar when the Federal fle?t was bombarding the fort, the flag Upon the mound, the "highest point in the fort, was shot down, and wh?n Col&nel Lamba called upon volunteers to replace it, one of th.em faster, than the others began to climb the pole and the shells from those ships out in the water there were falling around him like hail stones in a storm, yet that boy, for he was nothing but aboy, that boy climbed up there, replaced the flag in its placa amid the cheers of his comrkd-es and began to come I down. He had hardly gotten down when he discovered it had not been properly placed and it was again falling. Without a mo ment's thought or suggestion, this gallant boy climbed up that pole and again fastened that flag wVch continued to float to the end of the battle. I venture to say there ip not a dozen persons in this vast iiudience who ever heard of that, and yet every school child has j.heard of Sergeant Jasper. The name of that boy was' Christopher C. Bland of Bladen county, North Carolina, a member of the Thirty sixth Regiment. Any comrade here would enter tain this audiaftee much better than I can with their own rem iniscences, and if their modesty would permit, with their own deeds, so that my friends you do well to honor the Confederate sol dier all joji can, both-.the living and the dead. Not many 'years be fore the last of them will have pa Med away. Their ranks are fad .bo rapidly. They will at tend but a few more reunions in his world, but I trust in the world to cpme they may all meet and have a grand reunion there with immortal pleaders, Stonewall Jack son and Robert E. Lee. These old men deserve all that a grateful people can do for them. They were willing to die for the cause for which they fought, and ao many, alast so many of their com rades did die by their sides. To you, my comrades, a parting word. I trust that your last years may be your happiest That as you de scend the hill of life, and as your shadows lengthen with the setUng sun, may you march on to the end with eyes undlmmed, with hearts as brave and true as when you followed your gallant leader, and when, at last, you too have crossed over the river,may you rest under the shade of the trees with Stone wall Jackson and Robert E.
