' The Chief Marshal, Major James Reilly, then said 1 . :;:;.1.v' Xodiss and gentlemen: ' God, in' His Di rine Providence, bar spared us to assemble here this another Memorial Dsy," to gather around the shrine of our honored dead and bedeck their graree with beautiful flowers aa an emblem of derotion we owe to them. This is a tribute. . their . gallant deeds call on us to perform ias their- comrades In battle, and , in. the trials , we had to endure ; darlbg 2 that Jong r n&: ardu. ous struggla .iBut; :weii as men-ritia Immaterial how strong the desire Is-r-worjld msxa areryindiCerentexbJbltlon.to honor, our brare dead it w were left to our own: guidance In mc matters. Wre it not fojf the noble, good and sscriflclng ladies "of. the Memorial. Association to ... lead God bless them 4a their efforts, tbi tribute in deed would lack that grace those ladies be stow upon it Their good example hereto fore shows that Memorial,' Day cannot be forgotten, for by their self-sacrifice on this memorable day they inculcate into'; the young minds of . our children that these brave men whose remains are buried in this sacred mound, and who suffered aa no men ever suffered, and gave up, their all for tbe "Lost Cause," cannot be forgotten by their descendants.. Therefore it is a holy and wholesome duty for us to assemble on this hallowed ground oh such a memorable day apa 00 nonor to tnose rjonieaerate soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in a cause we believed to be just and true. ' "Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie, But that which warms it once can never die." : :- Col. B. R. Moore will now deliver the. Memorial . Address. col. moork's address. Col. Moore tbeo arose and proceeded to deliver a short, but very appropriate speech, referring in terms of high praise to the noble and self-sacrificing efforts of the ladies in keeping alive and Green in the hearts of the people the memory of the Confederate dead. The speaker indulged in rarious classical allusions, -and with mueh beauty and force applied them to our own times snd to the noble heroes who perished in the straggle which had its final result in tbe "Lost Cause." He was listened to with a great deal of attention and interest by tbe large audience. We regret our inability to giro the address in full, as a synopsis would necessarily do Injustice to the beautiful -production. CoL Moore's delivery was good Sod his remarks were pretty generally heard and understood by the immense assemblage. At the close of the orator's remarks the choir sang "Gently Lord, O gently lead us," which was followed by the doxology and benediction. Chief Marshal Reilly tbea read the Roll of Honor. s SALUTES. During tbe progress of the procession, after reaching Campbell street, the Cape Fear Light Artillery fired a salute from tbe hill formerly known as the Athletic Club grounds, while the bell of the cemetery lodge was tolled, and at the close of the ceremonies the Wilmington Light Infantry fired a salute. THE DKCOBAT10SS. The mound in tbe Confederate lot was beautifully and tastefully decorated, and many floral offerings to individual friends and kindred were deposited thereon, this feature of the ceremonies on this occasion being performed before tbe arrival of the procession.. Among tbe decorations we noticed the words "Psz Vobiscum" (Peace be with you), tastefully arranged in flowers ori the ! west side of tbe mound; andVon the east aide tbe inscription "They Sleep-The Men we Love." There was also a banner bearing the Inscription on one side "Ladies Memorial Association," and oh the reverse "Tbe Confederate Dead." These were placed there by the Association. In addi tion we noticed a banner, contributed by Miss Hart's school, bearing the inscription "T'will Lire in Song and Story;" and one by tbe Children's Memorial Association, with the inscription on one side "To the Unknown' Dead," and. on the reverse a handsome battle flag. Tbe Chief Marshal and his assistants deft set re much credit for theperfectness which characterized all their arrangements. The choir was highly complimented for Its beautiful singing, which wss a very at tractive feature of the occasion. To Ijo'evre Oa. ' Sergeant Jamea W.
