Special to the News and Observer.
Windsor, N. C., Aug. 1.
A large crowd gathered here to-day to
hear the address, delivered by Col.
Julian S. Carr, before the Confeder
ate Veterans 1 Association. The Col
onel was at his best, and made a
most effective address, reaching at
times flights of eloquence which went
home to the hearts of his hearers. He
was constantly interrupted by applause,
his sentiments seeming to be the product
of one who had felt and seen the pic
ture he drew with such master strokes.
The occasion will be long remembered.
Mr. Carr's address was a handsome
tribute to the Confederate soldier, and
was full of historical incident and illus
tration, accompanied with political sug
gestion. Among other things he eaid:
Gettysburg and Waterloo.
We cannot undertake to describe the
battle of Gettysburg in detail. To do
so would require a volume. It was,
perhaps, a greater battle than that of
Waterloo. In many particulars they
were strikingly alike, a review of which
may prove interesting, but in two re
spects, which I desire to emphasize, they
were remarkably dissimilar.
At Waterloo the English were fortified
on St. Jean, the French were in the
plain below. At Gettysburg the Fed
eral were entrenched on Cemetery
Heights, the Confederates on a low
range of hills called Seminary Ridge.
There were a hundred and fifty-two
thousand troops engaged at Waterloo,
one hundred and fifty-five thousand at
Gettysburg. The loss in killed and
wounded at Waterloo was forty-nine
thousand, at Gettysburg forty-six thou
sand.
Had Napoleon opened the battle four
hours sooner, he could have crushed
Wellington before the arrival of Blucher.
Had Longstreet moved his corps when
ordered by Lee, four hours sooner than
he did, Sickles’s and Hancock’s corps
would have been defeated before the
Fifth and Sixth corps reached the field.
Grouchy was separated from Napoleon
at Waterloo, Stuart was separated from
Lee at Gettysburg. Had his cavalry
been with General Lee, or had he had a
topographical staff to advise him of the
nature of the country, the Federals
would never have obtained possession of
Cemetery Heights, thus doubling the
strength of the Union Army. Had Na
poleon been advised of the condition of
the country, and not dependent tor in
formation upon the word of a hostile
guide, two thousand of Milhaud’s four
thousand giant horsemen, with breast-
Elates of steel, led by Ney, would not
ave been crushed to death in the sunk
en road of Ohain; and the impact of that
mighty mas would have broken the Eng
lish centre. Napoleon staked all upon
the charge of the Old Guard; Lee staked
all upon the Greatest Charge of modern
times.
Here, the wonderful similarity between
these battles ceases. »
When defeat came to the French army,
it became a demoralized mob and rushed
pell-mell from the field. When defeat
came to the Confederates, the Army of
Northern Virginia was no panic stricken
mob. General Meade afterwards de
clared he saw “in it no symptoms of de
moralization.” General Lee and his army
expected and anxiously awaited an at
tack, but it never came. Both armies
remained in position until the night of
the 4th of July, and then moved, one
down the eastern the other down the
western side of South Mountain, with
their banners turned toward Hagerstown.
The French army at Waterloo, com
posed of veterans whose tramp had
shaken every throne in Europe, and
given to France such victories as Fried
land and Marengo and Austerlitz, and
Jena, and Borodino, and Bautzan, and
Leipsic, and Liguy, became a flying,
hopeless, helpless rout, while Lee’s vet
erans at Gettysburg, under similar or
worse conditions, stood a bank of steel,
defying attack.
The other difference which I desire to
emphasize is this: Wandering in the
darkness upon the fatal and fateful field
of Waterloo, Napoleon sought death by
English bullets, while General Lee at
Gettysburg, incomparably grander, as
his shattered divisions marched by, ex
claimed, ‘,Human virtue should by equal
to human calamity.”
So against the Lilies of France, we
place the Stars and Bars, and against
the genius of Napoleon, that of Robert
E. Lee.
A Great Confederate Museum and
Royal Gallery of Leaders.
France has her Muse d'Artillerie and
Salle des Armes in which are collected
the wonders and mementoes of her vic
tories and campaigns. It may be that in
the future we may see a mighty Confed
erate Museum in Richmond, the gateway
of the Southern Confederacy. Its courts
containing the curioe, battle flags and
relics of our terrific contest, and its walls
mosaiced with tablets and enriched with
portraits of the great leaders of the Con
federacy-Jefferson Davis, who upheld
the fortunes of the South, as Hector did
those of Troy; Robert E. Lee, who Stone
wall Jackson said he “would follow
blindfold,” and who the military critics
of Europe rank with Caesar and Napo
leon; Albert Sidney Johnson, who for the
South sacrificed his life at Shiloh, and
who, Swiuton says, was “the brightest
star in the firmament of the Southern Con
federacy Joseph E. Johnson, who Grant
said he* “feared more than any com
mander ever in his front;” P. G. T. Beau
regard, the greatest military engineer
sinoe Todleben; and Jubal A. Early, the
great lieutenant of Lee; the chivalrie
commander of tho Light Division, A. P.
Hill; and Richard Ewell, the splendid
soldier trained by Jackson; D. H. Hill,
the magnificent commander, and Hood,
tho indomitable and impetuous Texan;
Longstreet, the MacDonald of the army;
Wade Hampton, the chivalrie Knight of
Carolina, and the intrepid soldier, R. F.
Hoke; Fitz Lee, the splendid Cavalier of
the Confederacy, and Forrest, the Murat
of the Southwest; Wheeler, the great
cavalryman, and Pettigrew, whose
“name is as immortal as the
stars.” There we would read
of the deeds, and see the portrait,
of the noble Ashby, the gallant Pelham,
the splendid Pendleton, the heroic Pen
der and Daniels, and Branch, and Whi
ting, and Fisher, and Robert Ransom,
and Grimes and Cox, and Robert Vance,
and W. P. Roberts; of liamseur, the
superb; of J. E. B. Stuart, the greatest
cavalryman, Gen. Hooker declared, “yet
born on this continent,” and of many
others I cannot now mention.
A noble ex-Confederate soldier, now
living in the city of New York, Charles
Broadway Rouss, has already signified a
princely generosity by offering to give
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to help erect a Confederate Museum. We
salute him in the name of the Southern
people, and thank him in the name of
our sacred cause.
In Hopkinsville, Kentucky, is a col
umn to the memory of one hundred and
one unknown Confederate soldiers.
Upon a bronze panel is this inscription :
“Around this column is buried all of hero
ism that could die."
John C. Latham, Jr., now of New
York city, erected this monument, but
his name nowhere appears upon It He
thus reduced the golden rule to a gran
ite shaft, which will perpetuate his
splendid unselfishness and nobility of
soul, as it will the courage of the dead
heroes beneath it.
Confederate Monument at Chicago.
And now all hail to the citizens of
Chicago, who, with a patriotism as broad
as the Union, recently set the republic a
lesson in true nobility by unveiling a
splendid monument to our six thousand
Confederate dead in Camp Douglas, in
the Metropolis of the West.
That monument, it seems to me, is the
grandest yet erected on the earth. Oth
ers have been reared by friends and by
fellow-countrymen, never divided by the
crimson hand of war. But this monument
was erected not by their loving brothers in
gray, but chiefly by their once fierce foes
in blue. It stands not in the land of
Jefferson Davis, but in the adopted State
of Abraham Lincoln. About it beauti
ful women of the South sang no songs of
love, but brave women of the North
with flowers wreathed the battery at its
base, contributed by the government,
and paid tribute in words that gave new
glory to the flag of the Union.
God bless the citizens of Chicago for
their broad mindedness, unselfishness
and generosity. The Great South in love
presses to her bosom her splendid sister,
whose imperial domain lies beneath the
setting sun; and whose sons and daugh
ters are as brave and beautiful, patriotic
and progressive as any of the children of
men.
That Confederate monument they re
cently unveiled in Chicago, it seems to
me, is the grandest yet erected on this
globe. And beauiifully did General
Hampton say, and right gladly do we
endorse his words: “All honor then to
the brave and liberal men of Chicago,
who have shown by their action that they
regard the war as over, and that they
can welcome as friends, on this solemn
and auspicious occasion, their former
enemies. As long as this lofty column
points to heaven, as long as one stone of
its foundation remains, future genera
tions of Americans should look upon it
with pride, not only as an honor to those
who conceived its construction, but
as a silent, though noble em
blem of a restored Union and
a reunited people. In the name of
my comrades, dead and living, and in
my own name, I gave grateful thanks to
the brave men of Chicago, who have
done honor to our dead Confederate
soldiers.”
Coward Cry of Rebels and Rebellion.
In the presence of the record of the
Confederate soldier, there are men, for
tunately but few in number, sufficiently
malicious and cowardly to refer to him
as a traitor and rebel. Those who utter
this base calumniation are densely ignor
ant, or infamously false. We despise
the cowardly aspersion. We protest
against it in the name of, the Southern
people. We repel it in the name
of Alamance and Mecklenburg,
King’s Mountain, and Guilford Court
House. We spurn it in the name of
eighty years of Ameiiean history, during
which the councils of this Republic were
directed and controlled by Southern
statesmen. Who wrote the Declaration
of Independence? Whose sword beat
back the hosts of Britain ? What jurist
most adorned the Supreme Bench of this
Nation ? Whose tongue fired the Ameri
can heart with the love of freedom and
cried “Give me liberty or give me death!”
Whose valor at New (. rleans cut to
pieces the flower of the English army
and rolled back the tide of invasion ?
Vile calumniator he, who dares affirm
that one drop of Rebel blood ever flowed
in the veins of the descendants of Jeffer
son, and Jackson, and Patrick Heniy
Marshall and Madison, and George Wash
ington and their compatriots. Against
the base imputation we appeal to the
words of Lincoln, and Grant, and Gree
ley, who declared that the Constitute n
was “silent about Secession, and that it
was a question of construction and
policy.” Rebels! The battle flags of
the Confederacy fluttered over half a
continent and the thunder of its guns
echoed around the globe. When before
in the history of the world were there
such rebels ? It was not a rebellion, but
a gigantic war.
When before in the history of the
world were rebels treated as were the
armies of the Confederacy by the terms
of the surrender at Appomattox ?
SWhat did General Grant mean by ad
essing a rebel in ail his correspondence
as Gene al R. E commanding the
Confederate State Armies ?
Why did the United States Govern
ment fail to prosecute Jefferson Davis?
Because ihe i>e»t lawyers of the North
and of E irope, advised that the pros
ecution for treason could not be sustained.
Whenever you hear the vile epithet of

rebel applied to the Confederate soidlor
tell the base slanderer that Stonewall
Jackson said, “Our late conflict was not
a rebellion, but the ‘Second war of Inde
pendence.’ ”
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, of Dimondale,J Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
church at Rives Junction she was
brought down with pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours with little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King’s New Discovery. It
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory in results.” Trial bottles free at
