Arriving at the" Cemetery, at the procession filed In at the gate, minute grins were fired by a detachment composed of officers and prN vates of the Caps Fear Light Artillery.

The; South', re jolced: Jn',, the fullness oT plenty. ; Her tields ' were ladened with"the rich rewards' ot indhstry J her -shops - adorned with " the implemeota of husbandry ;.her streams white' withjtbe fleets of commerce: her ,-nnlver, sitiea filled with devotees 7 of learning, 'and brightest in the galaxy of cations Were the names of her honored sons. ' Year after year .Increased the treasures of ' her wealth. The bones of her sons bleaching upon the distant battle-fields attested their valor and devotion to principle and honor." The lar-reaching policy of her statesmen asserted the superior ity other tkingly (Intellect. The impassioned appeals of her orators demonstrated the power of mind over numbers'; while the beauty, and refinement of her daughters conspired to make heraa land such aS fancy had pictured In her' own beautiful realms.--, a; ." . i u i j Bat yester-eve the spell, was broken, The rumble of an earthquake was heard through out the land ; tbe tocsin of .war was soudde though 'her borders, and-youth and age and ! manhood In - strength and vigor, poured forth from every rank, of v life to save from defeat and; humiliation the queen of the nations. Then flamed forth the starry cross .'which a thousand 'thousand' freemen swore to bear; through a-baptism of fire and blood; ere one loved fold Should trail in the': duBt of defeat.. And from Bethel, where North Carolina poured: her first libation upon the altar of freedom, to Bentonsvllle, where Its light' went out, ; they made good their pledge by an exalted heroism and dealbydefylng valor, beside which the re nown of chivalry and the burnished deeds of antiqultj pale in feeble. splendor. . m . But to-day, with the cypress encircling her mournful brow, she sits amid the ashes of her hopes and chants the requiem ol herfilaln. Oh, what tender memories belong to these hallow ed precincts I How the changes df years are crowded into the space of moments by the desolating power of war ! ' How the sweet im ages of peace are defaced, and broken by Its ruthless minions.- Here a father comes, feeble with age, and bowed with grief and care, to hold discourse in the tweet solitude of this silent city with those bright spirits of the long ago on which he fondly hoped to lean when tbe Infirmities of age were upon him. Here a Bister Calls to mind that noble brother who shared with her tbe Joyous sports of child hood, and watched with tenderest solicitude her advancing years, until the sound of his footsteps died away from the balls and portals of home forever. Mere a motner, caggara with unsolaced grief, comes perhaps.for the last time to beautify with a mother's love and care tbe grave of that darling soldier boy, tbe light ot whose flashing eye was quenched in the ensanguined tide of battle. Here, too, are loved, though nameless, one, around whose cold remains to day no familiar step shall pass; no voice pronounce the unknown hero's came; but on his grave the pensive eye of grief shall fall, and wreaths of nature's loveliest flowers shall robe In equal beauty bis silent dust. But with the known and nameless ones all are not here. Throughout this land there sleeps a host of cblvalric warriors, whose dust has' been scattered by the winds of Heaven, martyrs to liberty, whose blood has watered the soil of freedom. They breathed their spirits lorth apon the fiery sheet of battle, alone and unheeded in that trying hour, with no loved hand ,to wipe .the death damp, from their brow or catch and repeat the whis pered messages of love to those for whom they died. They sre the youngest born of the Nlobe of nations and over them, she spreads the protecting regie of her love to shelter them Irom thee tor ms of calumny and the foul aspersions with which falsehood seeks to attaint the shining record -of great and priceless virtues. , We come to these with hearts eccharged with deep, undying gratitude, and twine a common wreath and drop a universal tear of recret over their brilliant but untimely fate. Let no rude scoffer Invade the sanctity of tbe place. Let no skeptic, in human Borrow or womanly devotion, defile with his presenco this mooroful occasion. We come not for political purposes ; we seek not to revivify the dead ashes ol tbe past, or tear agape the healing wounds of sectional strife ; but on a mission of duty and love we come, with flowers and with gratitude, with legacies un touched .of war, as a simple ' offering to the : Confederate , dead; and. wher ever .the light of Christianity - shines ; Christianity shines.-Wherever true refinement and true culture of mind and heart exist there is a hallowed sympathy with this labor of love and an exalted appro vsl of the cause that pro duced It.

Beauurul Incident in the history of nations ; grandest theme for the masterly art of genius ; best epitaph for the motives which prompted the zeal and heroism which Inspired the Confederate soldier.: Glory ha reserved for Jackson one of her Immortal tablets, npon which she will suffer no other name to be written,! and 'had Jhe South this one alone, It would outweigh, in the scale o! humau greatness, ten thousand names that rest upon tbe keen edge of a victorious sword their feeble claim to earthly honor, and while : her people stand with nncovercu ueaus in me mournful presence of such hallowed remem brances, unmoved by the storms of calumny and persecution which would sweep away every ancieot land mark, but still true to the emulous exsmple of that great and good man, their souls gush forth In the rapturous melody of Britain's sweetest bard, " ; I love thee next. to Heaven' above . ; Land of my country, thee I love ; ; $ . r , s And rail tby slanderers as they will : With all thy faults, I love thee still."

Amid tne chaos of war, amid the wreck of laws and convulsions of society, her chaste andchange less love has been the one bright ray whica has thrown a halo of glory around the ruins of all the rest. With true Spartan fidelity to the solemn obligations she owed.her country, she sent forth those on whom were fixed' the ten derest affections of her noble heart. She made the conquered baoner and gave to the hardv warrior the invincible heroism, which (is born only of the Inspiration " of woman. u At the couch of the dying soldier she ever waited as angel visitants, and o'er his bier ever wept in womanly sorrow, and s when the dirge oi de feat sent its notes through the land; when men wlth broken spirits folded their arms in cold indifference to their fate; when the funeral pile of law and liberty was heaped on high, when woe and want and: meagre famine rioted on the fields of her fame : woman, in that fearful hour, unappalled by the horrors that darkened around her, commenced the cousecrated labor of preserving the legacies which glory left her. Amid difficulties that would have deterred any but her heroic spirit, in the face of ascbfflng victor, under the pressure of -want,'lborea on till her heavenly.work of love and gratitude was performed ana the dust of patriots laid in their own beauteods land. Oh ! her's is more than a labor of love, and ours more than a debt of gratitude. We may. unveil the monument which she gives to the dead, eulogize their valor, apostrophize the courage which sus tained them to the last, but-to unveil the holy pasaions which prompted this hallowed work is not within the power of language or the gift of thought. .'. . ; . . Noble woman though thy loved .South land la white with graves, drenched la pat riot's blood, and heavy with calamitous, grfef, 'tis far dearer, beautified with thy presence, to the chivalrous- soul of r honor, than the land that sparkles with the spoilers treasures. Pos sessed of. her immaculate love, though the voices of her gifted sons are hushed, and their Impassioned eloquence is beard no longer in the council halls of the nation ; though min strelsy chants the requiem of perished . great ness, her name and deeds shall continue to be the delight of the historian's pen till " jarring wonas ana crasning spneres " are mingled in universal rain. -' Another anthem was then trihgby Uie Choir, after which the line was again partially formed and marched to the Confederate . Cemetery. Order -being restored, . the beautiful Hymn commencing "Soldiers of Christ, arise : And put your armor on," , was sung by the choir. . ... . UNVEILING TBX STATUE. Col. John J.
