Its Observance In Wilmington Ceneral Turn-Out of tho Citizens-All Business 8upendod Storos Draped In Mourning Largo ann Imposing Procos- lon-Tho Servloos at Oakdalo Col. McKoy's Address-Exquisite Muslo Rendered-Decora, tlons of Craves Yesterday, the 11 th inot, set apart for the Memorial Services at Oakdale Cemetery, instead of the 10th, as Sun day fell on that day this year, was as bright and beautiful a Spring day as we have yet been favored with. By 12 o'clock business was almost unani mously suspended everywhere and vigorous preparations were made for the observance of the occasion. Many of the patriotic merchants draped their doors and windows, and some the entire fronts of their buildings with mourn ing, thus showing their appreciation of the day and the memory of those to whom its observance was consecrated. At 2 o'clock all was bustle and preparation and at 3 o'clock the pro cession moved from Market street into Fourth, along Fourth to Red Cross and from Red Cross to Oakdale Ceme tery. It was, we think, the largest aud most imposing procession yet had hero and was witnessed by an im mense throug of others. To give some idea of its length ws will state that when the right rested on Walnut street, tho rear had scarcely left Market. A noticable feature was in the fact there were more carriages in the procession than have attended on any'previoua occasion and moro of both Indies and gentlemen than we have yet , seen on foot in the procession. Tho Comet Concert Club were in front discoursing a plaintive dirge, and theso wore followed by the Cadets, then by the Ladies' Memorial Associa tion, the Children's Memorial Associa tion, various Sunday Schools and day schools, the survivors of the Third N. C. Regiment, other Confederate sol diers and sailors, and citizens on foot and in carriages. Tho children all pre sented a fine appearance, dressed ap propriately in white, trimmed ? with black ribbon and carrying between them garlands of evergreens and hugo masses of bright flowers. Tho various banners of the different sohools were tasteful atd their devices appropriate, and the new banner of the Memorial Association, a description bf which we have already published, with the dear old Confederate flag on its front was admired by all. The procession entered the Ceme tory gates a little before 4 o'clock.and found there a largo crowd already as sombled. Amid the tolling of the chapel bell they ' passed up the brood green aislo to the Con federate enclosure where the bronzed Confedorato soldier stands guard over the sleeping soldiers beneath him, and where they found a pleasing surprise suthat Mr. Donlan. the SiineWufpn dent of the Cemetery had, ont of the kindness of Jiis own heart, decorated the entire enclosure with cvergroen garlands, stretching in various direc tions, from railing to railing. Here they filed into the enclosure, in the order of procession, until it could hold no more. Capt. John Cowan, Chief Marshal then announced that the services. would be opened by singing the Me morial Hymn. The following, prepar ed for the occasion, was then ex- quisiteiy rendered by the choir of ladies aud gentlemen: Coma lo (lie aacrcd apot wlwo ronta our hon ored dead; I.t all their ridicut offerings bring, iml deco rule their bed. Come, ye bereaved and tad ; wittoaa of aoldiera brave, Your little rjhaned children bring, to Men viioir ratltera' grave. Fathera and mother) come, bowed down by age una care; Here rert your noble, honored aom, objeota of love and care. Brothera and alotera come ; your brother' love demands The rlcheet offerluga you can bring, offerings of hearts and hands. Come, soldiers, gather round your comrades sleeping here ; They fall beneath the Iron hall, wh'le you wero atandlug near. Our righteous Uod protect, uur richest wealth adorn And beautify this hallowed ot, 'till Resiirrcc- turn morn. . At the conclusion of the Hymn Rev. T. M. Ambler, Rector of 8t Paul's Church, offered short but fervid, earn est and impressive prayers to the Throne of Divine Grace, beseeching Hisblessingontheofferings tendered by the living hearts assembled there to the memory of their dead heroes. The Prayer ended, the following beautiful anthem, "The Guard Around the Tomb," written by Mrs. Mary Bayard Clark, for the Newborn Me morial Association, was sung to the tune of "The Watch on the Rhine": What Is tbla solemn ton ml we hear ? It breaks upon a nation's ear Like ocean's sob upon the shore, The wail of ttonn s w hora wrath Is o'er, From proud Virginia's mountains grand It swells thtough all our Southern laud. A country mourning o'er Its slain, , Who, gave their Urea, and not In valu, Since in ita heart their mem'ry blooms Fresh aa tha flowers upon their tombs. Tholr toil Is o'er, their labors cease, In war they died, but died for pe'ace. They bravely fought and nobly fell, And Fame their glorious deeda shall (oil; When aim decrees a orown of bay No power on earth her hand can stay; And ob these graves a wreath la laid Ko storm can change, no time can fade. Where the has placed this deathlt m crown Let woman east her rosea down, And Love and Fame forever stand , A guard of honor, hand la band, Around these graves who re heroes II Who fought for right, nor feared to die. Col. A.' A. McKoy, who Lad been selected to deliver the Address on the ccpfiion, then arose and mndo ona of the most feeling and touching offer ings to the memory of "dur Fallen Dcau" that we have ever heard. Our desire was to give this Address to our readers in its entirety, but as Col. McKoyobjected to this we must substi tute here the following synopsis, compiled from looking over the Addrxs: The speaker's opening appeal was in behalf of the dead who died for ns. His commendatiou of the fair Indies who assembled here and elsewhere to pay tribute to the memory of onr fal len braves; his picture of the devotion of women to all that is sacred in the recollections of the past, and their care of this link (viz., these decorated graves) which binds memory to that mournful past, must have called np all tht was manly in nature and bid the stubborn will to bend, the eye to moisten, and heart to heave with ca ored emotions. He asked if high and holy sympathies were not fully enlist ed while the fair women of the South were gathered with mournful hearts to bedeck with garlands and bedew with tears the graves of our Confed erate dead. It sounded indeed like an invocation as he said, "Calm be your rest in your cold dwellingplace sweet be the repose of your graves and bright your resurrection. The peace the world gives not is yours sleep where no breath of detraction can move. you. You were and are our pride, whether your names mid the shrines of patriots be recorded or en graved deep in some fond widowed heart." The heart that beats not in unison with those of the fair ones here assembled (should be be of our tent and nurtured in our good old State) is not worthy of a burial beneath North Carolina's white sands or a last resting (lace beneath her evergreen pines, e said that these heroes fought for principle and sealed their boast upon many a hard fought Hold with the sanction of their blood. - All honor to those brave hearts who have fallen that Freedom, a pilgrim, may walk where their blood on her path leads her steps to thoir graves. The speaker next said that nine years had elapsed since the last gun was fired in the great conflict. Long enough for passion to subsido and the calm, sober second thought to inspire the sentiments, which shall control our destinies and write the truth of history. The glory of the struggle does not always belong to the victory. For the timo the feeble voices of those worn down by fatigue and starvation may bo stilled by the victorious shouts of superior numbers, yet through history right will speak out despite of might, aud a corrected judgment will bestow the meed of praise where justly due. He asked if Thermopylae was made fa mous by Xeres and his hosts, or by Leonidas aud his handful of brave men ? Were it not for tho brave Con federates where now would be the poans sung to American warfare? They would be hushed in silence, and the burning of tho nation's capital would again bo the finger board to point to her prowess in arms. He alluded to the Northern man who said that when he reflected upon the struggles of the Southern hero, his heroism, under any and all trials, battlingof ten barefooted, naked and without food, against the numbers brought to oppose him, when he passed the cemetery where such lie buried, he would bow his head in reverence to the memory of such he roes. Sentiments like these will crop out until by our late toes aud present oppressors the full truth of history shall be written. The truth is coming, sooner or later; you and I may not live to see it, yet sure as time lasts come it must, and then, and not till then will there be a perfect peaco. The day will come when the evil passions of the great civil strife will sleep in oblivion, and North and South do jus tice to each other a motives and forget ettca otners wrongs. Then will Lis tory speak with clear voice of the deeds done on either side and the citizens of the whole Union do justice to the memories Of the dead. Alas, the war was followed by bitter bate, and we were made to feel all the horrors of subjugation. Envy the bane of former years led to detraction and this was the first step of the soft ening pracess. Then came toleration on degrading terms. To those whose manly pride oould ill brook this deep uumiuauon.iepitneis, unnatural were applied, and even the felon s cell was, for a time, the homeof our bravest and best. After a period a oold permission was granted to oome to the halls of Congress. The caution was given that the probation wasjsevere. Once more the South was represented in the counsels of the nation. But in the name of all that is decent how was she represented ? Aye, by crinjruur. fawn- ino- creatures, wno irom rear or some other cruel curse, betrayed those whom they pretended to represent and became foremost in the race of tyran nv. and ouDression-voices were heard in the halls of Congress, but not the measured manly tones of formeryears. Thank heaven, these have partly given away and others, made oi better stuff, now hold up their heads in congres sional debate and say, "I am here, not by sufferance but by right. This na tion is my birthright. To charge my people with treason, with an effort to detroy the life of the nation, is a libtd on the trnth of history." Let none dare charge that these sentiments will enkindle strife; if so, that strife must be perpetual, for history with its every page will hold before your eyes the same truths, while liberty lasts and the patriot is loved. The speak er's encouraging view of the returns of peace, and the great prosperity that awaits both sections whenever the North shall realize that if the South is murdered she will, like the fratrlci.lo, be compelled to wander through the mazes of time with its putrid carcass indissolubly chained to her living body; aye, always carrying with her the f rnita of damning crime; that when the North ceases to be blinded with passion and will realize that the putre faction will destroy her, then the old ship will again right herself and Bail on the smooth waters of peace and prosperity. He has not despair ed of the coming justice and the return of better days. His allusion to what th Sonth was before the war the charocteristicsjof her people, her open handed hospitality, her gifted sots and accomplished daughters, whn stamped society with evidences of un dying worth; the land where infidelity least cursed the coarse of roligion, where statesmanship, pnre and unself ish, elevated the standard of patriotism: where all nature teemed with smiles of kindness, words of love and acts of bonevolence. His appeal to the ladies to preserve fin uiihrtio oiibtios of (Southern nuture those characteristics which, by nature and association, have formed a distin-1 gnished feature in the man and makes him to be singled out, whether in the crowded street of onr Northern cities or in the busy thorongfarcs of the Old World ; further that calm dignity of deportment and ease of manner so peculiar of our people. Taught, edu cated and trained in all that makes np the instincts and acquirements of a refined natnre, poverty, ruin and deso lation has done much to blunt the re finement of nature. Bnt meetings like this will recall the memories of a vir tuous past and help to impress upon the iuuiui m iuo rising generation the tra ditions which should never be forgot ten bnt should evor be on youthful up iu oug or in story. The sneaker Mid tliattli cmt .Ttiaf M - WHW Q W. VU.ll. , Robert E. Lee, had been eulogized in laruage so superior te sny that be was auie to pen mat he knew his bearers would listen with pleasure to the words that came np from both sides of the Atlantic, for bis fame had extended wherever there was a generous heart to admire a noble nature. He quoted from the biography cf heroes, written ny uoionei uuesny of the British army, and from the Hon. B. H. Hill of Georsria. These wera hoth tmthfni faultless and sublime, making us be lieve truly, as Mr. Hill ssys, "that when the future historian comes survey the eharaoter of the great Lee he will find it rising like a huge moun tain above the undulating plain of uumamiy, ana ne wiu nave to lift his eyes high toward heaven to catch its summit. The speaker then made an appeal for the widow and orphan. He said : To mourn the dead is not the full end and aim of the toil of noble woman. There is a higher and a holier purpose in view. While we enshrine the mem ory of the hero, yet around and among us are those who suffer the pangs of wonnaeu anecuon, and strive to hid from the world the anguish of a wid owed and orphaned heart. These suffer on in silence and in pain, too proud to utter complaint, too noble to murmur. To these, fair ladies, will you turn with renewed energy, to heal ue pangs oi wounded anection. wipe away the orphan's tear. By your aid will asylums for the lone widow and homes for the orphan, bereft of tuo care oi the sleeping hero, arise in our loved land, and coming genera tions arise and call you blessed. Then will the thoughtful Christian nay, even the man of the world as he passes one of those homes, and catches the merry laugh of thechild, and looks upon the subdued, yet softened sad face of her who nightly prays for her uvuciuuucsms, ruiBB bib nai in honor of the Christian women who. in tuuir uuseinsnness, lounded and foS' tered these greatest of all charities, Need more be said ? Thoueht wil come up to you in your quiet homes. Thought will press itself upon the brain, and through the brain will reach the heart. The heart once enlisted will react upon the brain. Plans will be formed, resolves made and with woman, to resolve is to aooemplish, For what has ever yet batlled or resist ed the willof determined woman ? The impulses of her heart, inspired by Christian light, urged on by love and duty, makes her moral heroism the subject of sympathy, respect and ven oration. Brilliant in her conceptions powerful in her execution and grand in ner scuievements, this wo'k will be sublime iu all its appointments, for it will bo the work of woman's true devo tion. It will be her perfect work in obedieuoo to her mission "Go ye forth, heal the sicklift the low and bind the broken.

Nature will assert itself, and the pittance you can spare will be freely shared with this child of sorrow. Then you can repeat with foroe and effect the "Conquered Ban ner" language, which stirs the heart as it says 'Furl that banner, for the bands that grasped And the heart that fondlr rlasped It Cold and dead are lying low And that banner it is trulllng While aron nd it sounds the walling Of Its people In their woe; For though conquered they adore It, I Art tlie cold, dead hands that bore It.

A dirge by the Cornet Concert Band, a Doxology by the Choir and a Benediction by the Rev. Mr. Ambler closed the services b the Confederate enclosure, after which the ladies wandered through the grounds of the Cemetery, laying their floral offerings at the graves of every Confederate Dead. At tax Market !. A huge crowd, very nearly all of whom were of ihe colored persuasion, were drawn together last night at the Market House to listen to some of the Radical candidates for office. John H. Smythe, the colored cashier of the Freedmen's Savings Bank, was the hero of the occasion. He (poke for more than two hours in advocacy of his claims for the Congressional nom ination and in denunciation of the County Committee who had recently nominated delegates to the Radical Congressional and Judicial Conven tions, without allowing the people a voice in the matter. His remarks were received with much applause, W. H. Moore followed Smythe, on the same side of the qaestion.and then a reply was attempted by Geo. L. Mab son, but the (crowd would not hear him for a moment Shouts and yells and skreiks ensued, some of which were almost loud enongh to alarm the sleepers in the outskirts of the city, when Mabson, finding that he would not be beard, desisted and was suc ceeded by James Heaton. About 12 o'clock the disorderly assemblage dis persed and quiet citizens. were allowed to sleep in peace. - It there ever is a time when a man is justified in changing the subject sud denly, it is when his wife asks if he posted that letter to mother promptly.
