Below is given the Addre
Delievered at the Court
Lee-Jackson Memorial
Below fa published the ad drees' of
Mr. John O. Bragaw, Jr., which was
delivered at the celebration of G$n.
Robert E. .Lee's birthday exercises
at the Cotrrt House Tuesday night.
His subject was "Stonewall" Jackson
and the Confederacy. In tomorrow's
Issue we expectl to give
the" address of Rev. R. L. day on
Robert B. Lee. Mr. Bragaw aald:
Commonly we sneak of this eel
ebration as that of Leo's birthday.
Of late years It has been the piypose
to combine the celebration of
Lee's and Jackson's birthday because'
of the fact that though the
srorld generally knows more of Lee
who has been regarded as far and
abortf' the greatest general produo9<1
on either side by that great conflict,
(undoubtedly this is truo) yet
Jackson was hardly <bls Inferior. It
is a coincidence that but two days
intervene between the birthdays of
heae two. men. Lep was born on
he 19th day of January. 1807, and
lackson on the* 21st day of January,
L824, so had Jackson lived until tonorrow
he would have been 90
rears of age. It Is fortunate then
hat this celebration was postponed
rom yesterday until today, because
t strikes the happy medium hewee
n the two dates.
Jackson was In many respects the
sxact opposite of Gen. Lee. Lee
was the courtly, splendid, genial
gentleman. Jackson, no less a gentleman
and with no leBs a kindly
aeart had somewhat a rougher exterior,
and novor quite entered Into
the hearts of the public as did Lee,
ind yet every man who followed
Jackson loved him as devotedly as
t>ne man can love another. Perhaps
the most tragic Incident of the entire
four years of war was when one
of his own men mistook him in the
lark for the enemy and 11 red llic
shot that ended Jackson's career,
rhere has been much speculation a?
to what the outcome of the war
would have been had Juckson lived.
The question has been raised whether
Leo would have, invaded Penn
HVHUUJ.l UUU 11 UU I1UU, ?IIU J?Hflon
still commanding the Slum-wall
Brigade, as to whether the iesuo of
Gettysburg would have been different.
That is mere idle speculation,
and wo an And no comfort in such
aa that. The Almighty Go.d of Battle
to whom Jackson showed as true allegiance
as any minister of the gospel
over did, ordered otherwise, and
we can but bow to his command. It
was stated of "Stonewall" Jackson
that he loved to pray, and he was
a man of prayer. One of his officers
Bald of him that there was one
thing that "Stonewall" Jackson loved
more than a sermon, and that was
a fight on Sunday; that If he could
not have a fight on Sunday then the
next best thing for him was a sermon.
and the more calvlnlstlc It was
tihe more It suited him.
So much then for Stonewall Jackson.
Let us pass <5n to the other
subject which has been assigned to
me. a sketch of the Confederacy. If
there is a feeling in the heart of any
one of you Confederate soldiers that
those who planned this celebration
should have asked to speak to you
this evening, some veteran of that
great war, some one who spent lone
ly hours on the sentry, some one
who smelted the smoke and felt the
shock of battle, will you not lay
aaldn that feelinr and remember
that you owe It to usln this generation
on such days as this to mingle
with you and allow us to catch some
of the spirit of those sacred days
of old. It is good for Us to be
Brought to this temple of memories
even as the Hebrew mother brought
h'er child to* the Temple of God, to
pay our devotions and to renew our
consecration to our country ahd our
country's God. There be some that
say we should put behind us those
things of the past, and the grief,
and the strife, and the bitterness of
that war, and so It may be well to
put behind us the grief and the bitterness
and the strife and to march
breast forard to better things, .but
God forbid that we shall ever forgot
the principles for which you men
fought.
A land without ruins is a land without
memories;
A land without memories te a land
wtthout history.
Crowns of roses fade, crown* of
thorns endure; i
