' And can it be said that the tribute. thus yearly offered, is productive of no fruit ? ; Does not the very contemDlation of their peaceful rest subdue our impa tience and help us to do our duty, day by day, with the hope that, after life's fitful fever, we too may sleep as well? . As we meet thus to do honor to the martyrs of the ! Lost Cause, it seems but natural that from the retrospect of the past we should seek to draw comfort for the present and hope for the future. When this noble Associa tion was first inaugurated, it was con sidered by the truly loyal almost trea sonable to pay this public respect to the Confederate dead. Yet to-day we have cause to rejoice, in that our pa tient endurance ana courageous devo tion td our principles have won the respect, even to participation in the ceremonies of this day, of those who. in times of reconstruction, would fain have deprived us or this sad comfort in our afflictions. In spite of political charlatans who desired to silence us, in order that they may reign supreme. the intelligent and honorable portion of the North have often united with us in our memorial observances. An incident, illustrative of the official prejudice that prevailed some few years ago, recurs to my mind. At a public fair held in our city, there was suspended over one of the tables an allegorical Confederate picture, "The Warrior's Banner taking its flight to meet the warrior's oul." The Mill tary Commandant present called my attention to it, at the same time ob jecting to its display, as against re ceiveu oruers m regaru to wuaii uiiguk be . .considered disloyal demonstra , - j " a A. - i x J 1. A. tions. 1 The harmless picture was qui etlv withdrawn. When the weary banner of the Lost Cause was furled forever, mid the sad tears of devoted and self-sacrificing heroism, the people of the Uonfedera cy shook hands with a bitter fate whose fiat was not softened by chival- ric compassion or human sympathy. Then their grand and enduring for titude, that had excited the world's appreciation, became more grandly developed, for amid the crushing wreck of all their hearts held dear. their proud spirits were not conquered by the legislative barbarism that en veloped their helpless situation. The convulsive throes of our struggle ior independence were felt to the utter most bounds of the world, and nations followed its progress withunconcealed interest and anxiety. So much sym pathy and enthusiasm had been awak ened by our determined valor, against fearful odds, that recognition by. the Courts of France and England would have been assured, but for the univer sal prejudice against our domestic in-. stitutions. .- t .. . . The late Emperor of France, m an informal interview with one of our quasi representatives, I in expressing this feeling, remarked, that if the Con federate States would guarantee the prospective freedom of ner slaves, the paramount obstacle to ner recognition would be removed. ; A three yearsv- desperate struggle against the inexhaustible advantages possessed by. the North, had demon strated that our resources were rapidly becoming depleted. 31 Lincoln's Eman cipation Proclamation was staring us in the face,, clearly enunciating what we had to expect, in the event of being defeated "by the overwhelming power of the North-' -" v-." Unprepared for the, unexpected con test,; we wefe., necessarily dependent upon the workshops of Europe for the frosecutioh of the war, and our choice, ike that of the captain of a ship in a storm, was between two evils, the loss of a part of our cargo, or the. sacrifice' of our ,whole ship. of State., Could this question have been submitted to the people of the South, in view of all the countless sacrifices they had alrea dy made; for the cause, I cannot but think their consent would have been obtained. J ' , " - . ' The recognition and f riendl v aid of France in the darkest hour of the Rev-i olotioni secured the inderpendence of the United Colonies at Yorktown.1 Had we secured the recognition and aid of either of .these great powers, success would, have crowned our-efforts; and enabled us to have obtained an honorable and satisfactory peaces no choice but to carry on the war to a auing m this, the Confederacy had the bitter endOvereome by superior iorce, sne at least died with her har ness on, and fought like a nation that aeserveo to oe free. My tour of duty, during the war, being e World wide, . often ; brought, me . in association with . many dis-; tinguished , and , intelligent minds of Europe.5" "Among the officers of; the French : and Enerlish army and navy,! I found but; one sentiment ex pressed, f: and that was - an exalted opinion , of , the military , ability of the leaders of our armies, coupled with enthusiasm for tbe bold dash and persevering courage of our soldiers. 1 -i . 7 ' 7 " " perseverance, of ;'a; St. Jerome,' will produce; for 'the' world's information and admiration; a faithful record of our gigantic struggle, iu which, link after link, now hnried will start into I pUt'to shame 'our 'defamers.

The cry fromthe North was the Union! the Union! but they manifest ed nought save contempt for ' the Constitution that sealed and sanctified that Union.' -v- ' ' " . Beginning with contempt, : they would end with an utter disregard of its teachings, and, if permitted, would, entirely subvert it. We must not close our eyes to the vital importance of the present struggle," a struggle with the hope of rescuing the palladium of our liberties from the desecrating; hand of selfish partkanship,. We can not sit idly by, mute and uninterested spectators ; we must cheer the faint hearts and strengthen the .feeble knees and make straight paths -for our iee v or while we yet sleep x he enemy will sow, tares among , our sheaves of wheat. " " i We live in times that call for wis4 dom in contemplation, and virtue in action) but in which virtue and wis-; dom will not do without resolution, i From the tomb immortal Jefferson speaks: "Fellow-Citizens It Is nproper you should understand .what L deem the essential - principles ' of Govern- ment.

And, should we Wander front these principles, in moments of error ana alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safe ty." .; ' - " 1 I Then the clear ringing .language of our beloved Jackson appeals to us i "What ia life -wlthont-honor? Dearral dation is worse than death. We must think of the living' and of those" who are to come after us, and see that by God's blessing we transmit to them the freedom we have enjoyed." -, To him a distinguished Confederate soldier and historian pays this - exf quisite tribute : .u- : "In the Valhalla beyond the gravej where spirits of warriors assemble! when on the roll of heroes the name pf Jackson is reached, it will be for the majestic shade of Lee to pro nounce the highest eulogy known to our race: 'Died on the field of duty.' " The faithful chronicler of the events of the war. commenting . upon the personnel and material possessed by the South, on the inauguration of hostilities, will exhibit a lamentable paucity of military. appliances, bat at the same time a numerical complete ness of personnel. As the war pror gressed, mechanical industry and in- genuity were unexpectedly developed machine shops started into activity. which, with the introduction from Europe of arms and equipments, aided by frequent captures, supplied the constantly increasing demands of the War Department of the Confederacy. During the fierce battles which were fought military ability quickly rose above the suriace oi events as iiieuiou- ritv nassed into oblivion. In the West Albert Sidney Johnson developed those remarkable abilities that ranked him the foremost man of all the South. It is said of him, by one well calculated by his position and experience to judge, that, "with Albert Sidney Johnson at the helm; there would have been no Vieksburgi no Missionary Ridge, no Atlanta.? His character was lofty and pure, his presence and demeanor dignified and courteous, with thesimplicity of a child, and he at once inspired the re spect and gained the confidence of cultivated gentlemen and - rugged frontiersmen. Had it been possible for one heart, one mind and one arm to save her cause, the' Confederacy lost them when Albert Sidney John son died on the field of Shiloh. Associated with the last days of the distinguished General Dick Taylor's command la the WestL.was General Forrest, one of the most extraordinat ry natural cavalry officers this or any other country ever produced. . Of his services to the cause of the South in Tennessee, and his military ability, General Tavlor thus speaks: r "Moving.. wittigreat rapidity, he nmsHAfl-T.hA Tennessee river, captured stockades with their garrisons,burned bridges, destroyed railways, reached the Cumberland river below Nash Vilie, drove away tne gunooara, cap -rui-orl onrt rtAsr.rnvAd . several trans- Tor.s -with immense stores, and spread alarm over a wide region The enemy concentrated on him from all direc tions, but he eluded or defeated their several columns, xecrossed the Ten-? nessee, and brought off L500 prisoner and much spoil. - Like Cliver nature made him a great soldier; and' he was; without the former's advantages. Limited as was Olive's education, he was a Porson of erudition compared with Forrest; who read with difficult ty. At the battle of Okalona, which was fought on an open, plain, Forrest had no advantage of position to com-' pensate for his great inferiority of numbers to his opponent, wenerai Smith;- but it is remarkable that he employed the tactics of Frederick at Leuthen and Zomdorf, though he had never heard their names.," Partisan malice assailed the' repu tation of the great soldier; but truth routed falsehoods, and he passed into nfaimlfir rl.r n Ti ; liTi tjirnishflfl . , es4 x.-l. . . . 4 cutuueuu - , .s i At the battle of Seven Pines Gene-; ral Joe Johnston fell severely woundn ed at the moment that his: admirable; strategy, based; upon the -reconnoi-' sance of the . brilliant Whiting; re-; quired his directing presence.

Their bowers of ag gression equaled4 not their ambition. Alas! it was. limited by nautical pov erty. xet, f despite that poverty of appliances, arose a' wealth of .fame of honor and fidelity, embossing the names Of Btiehanan. -who' nfilc the Federal eates in Hamnton Iloada. ana, xnough badly wounded, battled heroically against Farragut with his enornitous preponderance of power in Tatnall.' the "Chevalier Bavard of the navy ; , a few . years befote the ar of secession lie commanded the U.

The Enerlish. thouah fights ing with the courage and pertinacity of their race, were overpowered, their guns dismounted, and steam ability annihilated; there was no. flinching; all stood to the deadly quarters with unyielding gallantry. " With dismay and grieithe brave and humane Tatj nail witnessed the fearful carnage un tit he could no longer control his reel ing. "Man the boats." he cried, "those brave tfellows are of lour' own race! and ' blood', is ' thicker; than water.f With the spirit of Henry of Navarre; he rushed to the rescue, mid shot and shell ,that told upon his own men while aiding in towing from th e range of the fort guns the gunboats that had been deprived of their power of voli tion.1 The same undaunted spirit im pelled him to boldly resist, with but eight light guns, the powerful fleet of Admiral Dupont in Port Royal Bay, mounting two hundred and twelve cannon of the heaviest calibre. i Semmes, the brilliant and ubiquitous Rover of the Sea, whose Confederate torch lit up the funeral pyres of northern commerce fromthe Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.' Cook, the gallant and incomparable son of North Caro lina, displayed the most indomitable energy, surmounting countless diffi culties in the construction of an iron clad steamer, in the cornfields of the Roanoke, with which, he materially aided in the capture of Plymouth; and then boldly attacked and worsted the entire Federal fleet in Albemarle Sound.! The fearless Lynch met off Roanoke Island and fought for a day overwhelming masses of the enemy, never yielding, though his improvish- ed fleet was partially demolished and burned. Pelot, the heroic commander of the: expedition that captured the Northern gunboat,jWater-Witch, (gal lantly fell in the arms of victory. The name of the lamented Catesby Jones was synonymous with brave deeds and the remarkable Confederate tri umph ; in 1 Hampton Roads ; while Wood was the. enterprising Nelson of our little navy. - He boarded and cap tured several well-armed gunboats and other vessels upon the ocean, and in all perilous enterprises his motto was "Semper paratus. In his despe rate-but hopeless battle below New Orleans, the noble Mcintosh, in com mand of the Louisiana, was riddled with shot, but, like the brave Captain Thouars, at the battle of the Nile, he refused to - leave his quarter-deck. Huger, the commander of the McRae, fought, as all did on that unfortunate occasion, with desperation, and was fatally wounded.-' In a few hours he passed into eternity, 'mid the roar of battle, howling the requiem of Mcin tosh and many devoted Confederates.

Tears spring from the fountain of my heart when- recalling to memory the true and patriotic Stribling, the executive officer of the Florida. Grar ling with the dread pestilential tyrant oi the tropics, he clung to duty, and thirty hours after passing through the fiery ordeal : of : the Federal fleet off Mobile Bay,his Christian spirit passed to that better land where 'the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.'!. , Upon his memory I af fectionately hang my humble wreath oi immortelles. Stevens, the undaunt ed commander oi the Arkansas, when his ship was sufltc by , the - enemy, in stantly transferrea.his crew to a "Jon federate battery and fell while cheer ing on: his men to deeds of desperate daring, .
