Nearly all ot t the places of bui ness in the city were closed from 2 o'clock until 5 o'clock this afternoon, partly on account of the tender memo ries connected with the exercises and paitly to give all win desired an oppor tunity to join in the parade. Thej weath er was oil that could be desirrd. Tho old, middle aged and joung, of both sexes, turned out to do homage and honor to the gallant Confederate Dead who sleep in Oakdale. Old men, whose approachiug end ii near, came out to pay a teartul tribute to their noble hero sons whoso lire were offered as a will ing sacrifice upon the altar of Southern liberty ; those of middle age were pret cnt to do honor to the memory ol those "sleeping heroes with whom they bad plodded on the weary march, slept in the welcome bivoutcand stood shoul der to shoulder in the rude clash of arms, and young men and maidens, to whom the war and its trials wcro but a proud and glad ,lradition. were there to listen with noble pride and thrilling heart to the oft told tale of a ' brave sol dier's life and heroic death. There were fragrant lUwers for the hero's grave3, j I And reverent tcard for the hero braves ; And tender banc's laid the tributes there And watered the sod with memorial v tear. And the vernal shades gave the echo back Of the volley fired d'et the last bivouac. Ah! rest in glory and peace, bravo bojs, The tribute you hear is but martial noise j Of peaceful alarums, though the hearts of steel j I That shoulder tho arms that gave yen this peal j That pay you this last sad tribute to day ; Are clothed in and love, 1 a3 you loved- tho Gray. , The procession was a' few minutes late in its formation, in consequence o which the line of march was not taken up until 4:10 oV.ock,,when it moved in accordance with the prozrammo as published in the Review of Saturday the band playing the ''Garland o Flowers" march, in D minor, by Boyer The music was fine, the military were prompt and correct in their movements and there was no jar in the details to an noy and hinder the proceedings. The route was as usual, and as laid down fn the programme, upi Fourtn street to Cauipbell.'up Campbell to Oak dale. Arrived at the Cemetery the proi cession passed through the gate3 and up the broad path to the Confederate lot where the bronze soldier keep watch night and day over the remains of those who sleep beneath him. The services were inaugurated with a solemn and impressed dirge, rendered by the Wilmington Cornet Concert Club, and then they were formerly opened with the following beautiful and appropriate prayer bv the Chaplain, Rev. James CarmicbacI, D. D. O, Almighty God, who' alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men. grant unto us that we may love the thing which thou commandest and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts rny surely there be fixed where true joys are to be i found, whither our Saviour Christ bath gone before, who through death has over come death I aod opened the gate of everlasting life to all taose who depart hence in the Lord, and where the souls of the f. ii hiu 1 enjoy perpetual rest and fthci ty. Grant that we may so follow I by blessed saint s in all virtuous i.nu godly living that we may come to those uu- speakable joys, which JTbou haft pre- prepaied lor those wbd truly love inee; that we with tbeui ; may have our perfect consummation and bliss both I in body and soul, in Thy et-rnal and everlastiog glory. Remember in mer cy ll who mourn, and do Thou, the God of pity, comfort their every str- row. giving thm patience ( unuer their a miction ana a blessed deliverance from every grief. And grant that the course ot this world may be so peaceably ordered by. Thy-- gov ernance that Thy people may joytutly serve Thee in all godly quietness, that so they may walk in the wajs of truth and peaoe and finally be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlssting. Make us ever iliindiul of the; lime when we shall lie down in the dust, and grant us grace always to live in such a state that we may never be afraid to die. so that.

C Concert Club again discoursed a dirge And this was followed by an ode by the choir and then the Orator of the Day, Hon. E. D. Hall, arose land .delivered the fallowing address: i To Uic ladies oftlie Memorial Asso ciation: I Twenty years ago, this fair land ot ours wa convulsed from one cxtremi ty to the other with one of the direst conflicts of modern times; the shock of extending hosts, the groans of the wounded and the cry ot lamentation was heard all over the land. The flames ot burning cities, towns and hamlets lit up the horizon in all d;rec tions; gaunt famine and disease stalked abroad in our midst ;theeyil passions of men were aroused to a point of frenzy, for it was a war between men ot the same race, and . that race the Anglo Saxon ; section against section, brothers against brothers. In such a contest the effects could not fail to be disastrous to all concerned. To the one. believing, as they did. that the cause of liberty and a republican form of government was bound up in the integri y of the Statc3, and that the grand experi ment of man'3 ability to govern himself was dependent on the per petuity of the union, and that a tree government and an asylum lor the op pressed of all laods wa3 to be the re ward of success, it is not to be wonder ed at that they should have entered into tho contest with all their fouls, and tint thoy were determined ti exhaust every particle of their immense resour ces, it need be, to preserve, as tbey thought their sacred Ark otthe Cove nant;' and truly did they, like Hercu les, put their shoulders to the wheel and like worthy descendants of the Anglo Saxon race, regardless of the immensity of the task, determined to succeed, and did succeed. But oh! my friends, at what a cost! Ibrcc hundred thousand of their bravest fill soldiers' graves, the lamen tation of the widow and orphan sad dened the land, and for four long years the fate of their beloved union hung balaLced in the scale, and fearful were they, that each moment an un looked for blow would shatter it to atoms A half century will hardly bind up the wounds tbcv sustained in tnoao tour years. To the other side, consisting ot ine same race ot men, auimiatcu oy me nhint immiieo.thninvnrHtimnUtxMl f Jin n devotion to virtue and truth, a thor- n,.i,i,.trnt nnnmeoinn o 0fttm., to the teachings and traditions of their conviction that the cause lor which they niMWm ttmt. th ofiiim tor whio.h thfiv took up arms was right and sacred, the r r ii i i . i unanimiiy oi uu classes aim mu uui versal determination to sacrifice all that they h Id dear for the success; of their cause, precluded the idea that the movement was spasmodic and hastv, and that they had not maturely consid ered the emergency and cost, r or the war cloud that burst over our head in 18G1 was not , unexpected; it had been hovering over us! in all its black pro portions, for more than half a century. We considered tae lime had come to maintain all that wc claimed, and hon estly thought wc had a right to; that the emergency was upon us, and tho issue was joined.

But, my frieuds, twenty years and more have passed away, and tho healing hand oi time has touched us, and happy has been its results in many ways. The angry passions of men have cooled down; the mighty results of the war concerned: and all who were concerned liUID iixiu .tVii utrov,v,u u uuivuj uy ail I have learned many salutary lessons they were unaware of before, we have accepted all that we ought to have we ouzht not to have willingly yielded.

While we cater joyfully into our new prosperity, we have the proud consciousness of not having in be slightest degree yacnuced our man hood or self respect Standing thus, my friends, in the year of our Lord one thousandeight hundred and eighty tour, nearly twenty years. after the round of the last gua has died awav in the far distance, and the angry passions, of men have had time to 00 1 and a thcr.iush appreciation of the whole situatiou, we may certainly be allowed tj speak plainly and without misconcepiion. We have assembled hens this day. which is held sacred in the minds f all true Southern people, to drop a tear to the memory of those dear ones who for more than a generation have been sleeping their manhood away, and to again decorate their sacred dust with fresh immortelles; and to keep green in our memories their virtues and their heroism, and teach our children the im mense obligations we owe them, in showing them bow easy it if. with fnnitudo and virtue, to die in the dis charge of duty. - ' To the educated young men of the South, aud especially those of wealth, thcotllto arms and to defend their States in the tented field was a call to honor and renown ; they knew that if in the battle field it was their fate to be cloven down , their lame vrould be lll - 1 , MONDAY. MAY 12, the theme of the future historian?, and their names would be kept green and fresh in the hearts of their comrades, and fair and lovely hands would strew their graves with laurels. But to the bumble and unknown, in short, the great and heroic mass ot our armies, the common soldier, no such cheering reflections were presented to them. If they went down amid chargins squadrons and in the smoke Of battle, it was to rise no more. No historic muse would write and transmit their gloris ous deeds of daring to alter ages; no poet would weave wreaths to deck their bumble brow?. Itwa3a sight to be witnessed by angels, when men thus teo forth to battle for the liberty, of their Country, without one selfish motive to prompt them; without one hopq of being remembered in after ages; know ing that to fall, was to them to remain "unwept, unhonored and unsung." Many lclt behind them objects dtarer than light and life; dearer, than all else this earth contained", save liberty and honor. For liberty they lived ; tor lib-. crty they were content to die. The an- guish they encountered in leaving their homes, the parting from wives and children, the terrible fear that they saw them for the last lime, and in many cases leaving the gaunt wolf of want entering their doors to carry off their loved ones oh! such sorrows, I write; my feeble tongue will not attempt to describe! Such sorrows are sacred, and like the Greek painter of the sor rows of Agamemnon, I shall draw a veil and leave to imagination what cannot be painted. To us of the passing generation the scenes and times are sti'l fresh in our memories, never to be obliterated. To us. it is not "like a snow flake on the river, a moment white, then gone for ever." But to the coming generation those who are entrusted to our care and guidance, it sbbuld bo our sacred duty to instil in them a veneration, a holy love and admiration for those departed heroes and martyrs whose memories we are assembled here to perpetuate. Let us now and always hold up their virtue and fortitude a3 worthy ot emu lation; they freely gave up their lives to what they thought was right, and on the altars of tbeir country; never forge teem.
