WILMINGTON, N. C,
MEMORIAL DAY.
As the wheel of time revolves in; its
ceaseless course, once again the sacred
diy has arrived upon which the coble
ladies of our fair Southland meet with
garlands and flowers to perform the faith
ful woman's task of strewing the graves
of the lo3t and loved ones. The tomb of
those who fell ia the carnage of war,
battling for home and fireside, and loved
one3 gathered there, and alL that man
hood held dear and sacred, is made green
on this occasion by these loving hands,
who remember with no less devotion those
who encountering sickness and disease by
exposure in the same cause, were cut
down" by the remorseles reaper in the
very prime of youth and usefulness.
The ladie3 of Virginia and the Carolinas
Hive consecrated this day upon which
the spirit of the immortal Jackson
"crossed over the river aud rested under
the shade of the trees," to this sad but
loving duty.
The memory of those who have pass
ed from among us and who sacrificed all
ia the cause of duty, is recalled on
this solemn occasion and their many vir
tues extolled, as they should be, in or
der that posterity may remember the sac
rifices which a noble ancestry made in the
cause of patriotism. And lovely woman
who was last at the Cross, and first at
the Tomb, still inspires and encourages
usjwith her untiring efforts in the praise
worthy task of perpetuating the custom
inaugurated, and by her presence gives
tangible evidence of her deep womanly
sympathy and devotion to the cause.
The line was not fully formed until
nearly 4 o'clock, when the procession
commenced to move in the direction of
Oakdale Cemetery along the route al
ready mentioned.
There has been a g;neral suspension
of business and in this way more interest
manifested, or as much, as on any previ
ous occasion within our recollection.
All the stores on Front and Market
streets, with one or two exceptions, were
closed,while the business houses on Water
street were entirely deserted. The
foieign consulates at this port all lower
ed their flags at half-mast, while Eome o
the windows of the retail stores on Front
and Market streets were draped in
mournicg. The Wilmington Light In
fan try and the' Association' of Officers of
the Third N. C. Infantry, the Memo
rial Association of the Third N. C. In
fantry, the different school organizations
under their teachers, the Ladies Memo
rial Association, and the Children's
JVIemorial Association acd the Cornet
.Concert Club, the latter in the van, com
prised the principal seatures in the pro
cession. The most beautifel banner m
the line was that borne by Miss Hart's
School. It was composed of a furled
Confederate banner with beautiful gar
lands of roses intertwined amoug its folds.
On the reverse side was the inscription
"'Twill Live in Song and Story," The
banner of the Children's Memorial Asso
ciation and the old flag of theThirdNorth
Carolina Infantry, were to be found in
their accustomed places in the proces
sion. ..
There were numerous citizens on foot in
the procession, and these were followed
by carriages and buggies carrying other
citizens, the rear of the procession being
brought up by men on horseback. Ar
rived at Oakdale,a large crowd was seen
to have already assembled there. As the
head of the procession reached the hill
m view of the Cemetery, the Cape Fear
Light Artillery commenced to fire .min
ute funs from the hill overlooking the
gates. The services in the Confederate
lot were opened with a dirge by the
Cornet Concert Club, when the Rev. Dr.
George Patterson, who had been request
ed to take the place of Dr. Watson as
Chaplain, the latter being absent from
the city, made the following beautiful
prayer, which was offered by Dr. Patter
son on the first occasion of these solemn
ceremonies in 1872:
O God, the Father of our Lord God
and Saviour Jesus Christ, Lord, -whose
name is great, Whose nature is blissful,
Whose goodness is inexhaustible, l nou
God and Master of all things, Who art
blessed for ever; Who art great, eternal,
wonderful in glory, who keenest covenant
and promises for those that- love Thee
with their whole heart, Who art the
life of all, the help of thtse that flee un
to Thee, the hope of those who cry unto.
Thee; cleanse us from our sins, fiecret
and open, and from every thoight dis
pleasing to Thy goodness cleanse, our
bodies and souls, our hearts and cea

beseech Thee, let Thy favour be present
to i ny poor petple , who supplicate
Thee, this day; that what by Thy In
spiration they faithfully ask, y Thy
speedy bounty they may obtain; through
Jesas Christ our Lord. Amen.
Grant, O Lord, we beseech Thee, sock
a heart unto Thine oppressed and Bor
rowing people, that as they are brought
together this day by their necessities and
miseries to seek Thy favour, they may
by their own free will be determined to
keep .Thy Commandments. Remeabtr

them the fearful visitations which, they
have received; le t "the1: cry "of the 'Wid
ows, the Fatherless, the Oppressed, aid

ears; and when Thou nearest answer
them out of the abundance of Thy lttiig
mercy; endue their souls with patience
under their affliction, and with resigna
tion to Thy Blessed Will; comfort then
with a sense of Thy goodness; lift up
Thy countenance upon them, and five
them peace, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord. Amen.
O God, our Father, Who wilt not
suffer us to be tempted above what we
are able to bear, succour ms, that the
fearful temptations of these times may
not overwhelm us. Have mercy, O Lord,
upon Thy people ; those that are ready
to famish for want, do thou feed Them;
those that are bound te beds of pain,
loose them ; those that lie smarting in
their pains and wounds, cure them; those
that are distracted in their thoughts,
settle them ; those that are in perils of
their estates and lives, preserve - then,
Thou Who didst freely distribute Thy
comforts and cures to all the miseries
and maladies of men when Thou wast
upon earth, have mercy upon all, and
help them. Far or near, with us or fron
us, O Lord, heve mercy upon all.
Wheresoever they are, whosoever they
be, do Thou help and comfort them,
supply them and succour them; have
compassion on them and heal them for
Thine , own Sake, our Blessed Saviour
and Redeemer. Amen.
O Lord, Who hath taught us that all
our doing without charity are nothing
worth; Send Thy Holy Ghost and pour
into our hearts that most excellent gift
of chanty, so that we may freely forgive
our enemies all the injuries and wrongs
which they have done unto us. Even ai
we,ask forgiveness at Thy hands for our
innumerable sins; do Thoa, O Lord, for
give them and us. Have mercy upon
them and upon us; save thorn and U3 by
the 1'recious Blood of Him, Who is the
Saviour of mankind. Mercifully grant
unto us all, time for repentance, fruits
meet thereof, and a profitable end in
true contrition: These and other mercies,
for them and for us, we humbly ask for
the sake of Jesus Christ our liord, to
Whom with the Father and the Iloly
Ghost, be ascribed all glory and honour
world without end. Amen.
The prayer was followed by a dirge
from the band, this by a memorial ode
by the choir, and then Chief Marshal
Reilly presented Col. B. R Moore, the
orator of the day. Col. Moore then pro
ceeded to deliver his address, a synopsis
of which we give as follows:
The speaker commenced "with woids
of the highest commendation to the
ladies of the Memorial Association for
their supreme devotion to the duty of
keeping green and unblemished the mem
ory of the Confederate dead, asserting
that this devotion had won for itself an
abiding place in the record of the future
historian of the period alongside the deeds
which his pen shall perpetuate; mention
ed a remark by the eminent present
Chief Justice of North Carolina, then a
private citizen, at no time during the
war a combatant, and by birth a North
ern man, made at the close of the war,
when the future condition of the South-
era people seemed to hand trembling in
the balance, and when a pall of gloom
and almost hopelessness hung over the
desolated South, to the effect that it
should be the sacred duty of all who had
survived the struggle to keep forever un
tarnished the memory and the fame of
those who had fallen; that the living j
could endure reproach, and, if need bei
repel it, but that the dead were defence-1
less, save only at the hands of their sur
vivors!
It was this thonght which had inspir
ed the hearts and strengthened the hands
of the ladies of the Memorial Associa
tion to the performance of the task al
luded to by the Chief Justice a task
which would be no less re
nowned than Spartan, wo
man's devotion to Spartan courage;
a task which had been self-imposed
from the knowledge that these men who
lie sleeping here under watch of the
sentinel that stands silent watch over
their rest, were impelled by those two
highest springs of human conduct, cour-
&cre and patriotism and laid down their
ires in defence of their country.
Bnt the nerve-sustaining hand of the
Southern worn m had been actively em

felt everywhere throughout those long,
weary, strugging years. In her unflinch
ing devotion to the cause which lay so
deeply imbedded in her heart, ht-r mag
nificent prototype might be filly found in
Panthea. wife of Abradatas, King of the
Susians,
When Panthea's hiaband came to
arm -himself for the Ust of his many
glorious haltlesT ?he , broaght forth a
golden helmet; urwi-pieces and a purple
robe, which she had secretly made out
of her own ornaments, and .while assist
ing as his armourer, declared to him
that it was he, as long as he continued
to appear to others to be what tshe
theught him, that would be her greatest
ornament. The speaker went on to
describe the scene between Panthea and
her husband when the latter had taken
the reins and was about to mount his
chariot; how, when she had desired all
that were there present to retire, she
said to him,'Of Abradatas! if ever there
was another woman who had greater re
gard to her husband than to her own
soul, I believe yon know that I am such
a one; what need I speak of things in
particular? for I reckon that my actions
have convinced you more than any words
I can now use. And yet though I stand
thus affected towards you, as you know
I do, I swear by this frendship
of mine and yours that I certainly
would rather choose to be put under
ground, jointly with you, approving
yourself a brave man,, than, to live with
yon in disgrace and shame ; so much do
I think you and myself worthy of the
noblest things." And then, when the
battle was over, and Cyrus went in
search of Abradatos, his confederate, in
arms, he found Panthea in the midst of
the victorious army, sitting on the ground
with the head of her dead husband lying
on her lap. Shedding tears at the affect
ing sight, Cyrus took his dead friend bv
the right hand," and tho hand of the de
ceased came away, for it had been -cut
off with a sword bv the Esrvntians.
ine woman s sorrow welled up from her!
- - i
heart in a lamenting shriek, and takinc
the hand back from Cyrus, she kissed it
ana niiea it Dack to its proper place as
well as she could, saying : "The rest
Cyrus, is in the same condition, but what
need you see it V Cyrus, having given
orders for the care of Panthea, and for
me proper disposition of the body of her shall be set up m their stead, when gen
husband. retired, and the woman bade eration shall follow generation through-
ner servants to retire, "rill such time,"
said she, "as I have lamented my hus-
band as I please." She being before-
U . M ..,
uauu proviaea wun a sword, thrust it
through her body, and . laying her head
down on her husband's breast, she died.
Ihis touching scene of womanly
courage and devotion which had made
i"antnea' name as immortal as that of
her husband or of Cyrus, the speaker in.
stanced as a type of the Southern woman
daring the four trying years.
The speaker thought this not the time
nor place to discuss the causes which led
to the war, nor to consider the passions
that were aroused during it3 contin
uance. These thin ffs. said hp? hl
to the dead past, and there let them re
main buried until the hand of the impar
tial historian should resurrect them, and
place them in their true light. The time
had passed when me might discuss the
reasons and causes which led the Confed
erate soldier to the exercise of his cour
age, but like the pillar of Smeaton, his
courage and patriotism stood firmly es
tablished upon a foundation that wiil en
dure through all time, triumphing over
the tempest of paS3ion which would im-
Puuone ana en uga ten ing tnose

they annually adorn with flowers, ; and!
wnose names they have inscribed on the
roll of honor, demand of those who sur
vived thpm, was that the truth of his-
tory should be kept pure and inviolate
The speaker went on to cite the fact
that the Grecians built two tpmnlpa Ad

ofnonor; the other was the temple of
. - i
virtue-courage, patriotism; but ttererWi' wiva

wrought and placed in the hands of the
Ladies' Memorial issocution, and in the
hands of posterity a shield for the pro
tection of that which is dearest to the
soldier's heart a shield more, enduring
than Grecian temple or monument of
brass. ;.'- .' - -,v ' T
The speaker held up to scorn the futile
efforts which had been sometimes made
to deprive the Confederate soldier of hi
character for courage and patriotism--
me , two qualities of the human breast
which lay at the. fouudatioa of all - .
ernment and of all society which have
built up and maintained the existence of
nations, wherever and whenever latioss
have existed, and which' were endow
ments' that "not only belonged.
preeminently, to the Confeder
ate soldier, but are the common
heritage of all men ciyilize'd or savage.
in tnis connection, he gave a very strik
ing incident in the war that was wafred
on this continent between the French
and the English, to show that even a
savage was possessed of patriotism when
ne Had a home and a hunting ground.and
that even with him this quality resulted
not only in courage in defense of them
but often led to acts of noSlo and un
selfish generosity.
The speaker again repeated that these
endowments arc the common heritage of
all men who have country or home and
the ttuns that to day salute the dead who
lie here, ara but the voiced salutation of
dead heroes of the "Lost Causa" 'speak
ing back to patriots who had fallen bo
fore them. The voice, said Th fmm
these graves, is heard and recognized by
the patriots who sleep at Monmouth, at
Guilford Court House and at Yorktown.
The dead answer back to the dead, and
generation communes with generation
that has gene before. ... . .;
The speaker gave a rapid description
of Delphi, of its magnificence, of- the
temple of Apollo and its Pagan super
stitious, and of the poetic 'fountain of
Castalia. All these thiners had uassed
ia to decay, and while the temple of
. .
I Apolla, and tho Council Hall of th
I Amphyctyons, the Treasure House of
I Croesus, and the three thousand statues
that crowded the buildings and - Btreets
of Delphi, had all vanished as if they had
never been, the fountain still flowed on.
And so, when existing r governments

will, be heard the - courageous deed 'and
