We seem every day to be ttiving the world evidences of oar re?emion to barbarism. We shall soon be onable to oritio Z) Russia, Bertia or Taikey if, indeed, we have not already passed the point when we ooold do to ood- sietently. A white woman "of great refloement" baa been flogged brutally in the State prison ot Georgia, and by the authorities therein. It was tbrongb the press, whose Eternal Vigilanee is growing to be all we bare left of Liberty, that the brutal prison authorities were exposed, publio sentiment aroused, and the Governor and the Legislature moved to aot, as the press dispatches inform us they are now doing. All persons with their hearts in the right place will endorse this editorial from the Atlanta Journal: THE WHIPPING OF HISS DE0BI8. We do not know that the people of this State have ever been more shocked than in reading in Saturday's Journal of the whipping, yea "beating," of Miss Mamie DeCris, the diamond theft eouviot at the State farm at Milledge vile. Suoh an outrage on a defenoeless though criminal woman should not be permitted to paB8 without an indignant protest on the part" ot the people of Georgia. Ail over the world where the name of woman is revered, everywhere tioept in barbarous countries, unmeas ured thousands will wonder that such an oooarrence could have taken plaoe in a land that boaBts a Christian civil ization. We are willing to admit all that can 1ie8ara-Kgamrnne was joatly convicted and imprisoned; that she was insubordinate to ber keepers; that she would yield to none of the ordinary persuasions to good behavior, and all that, but still it was an outrage that she was flogged. There were, doubtless, other means of re straining ber and conquering her will snob as have been usea in reformatory nouses, but, whether there were' or not they had no right to take this woman of trail constitution, at thirty years of age, when womanly sensibility is at its highest development, and flog her as men would a refractory dog. That it was done by authority of the State's servants makes it worse; that it was done in the presenoe of a consent ing pbysioian who was to be judge whether she could stand the awful oaBtigation, makes it all the more as tonishing and aggravating. Granting that she was the worst of characters ber sex should have been a protection againBt suoh treatment, A woman criminal may be flaed, im prisoned, punished in various ways hung if need be but not stripped and whipped, for that is a crime against nature, as it is against deoenoy; and every woman in this broad land U to some extent affected by the stripes which Miss DtCtis received on this oo casion. She shrinks to thick suoh a thing possible to ber delicate sex. If the blood was drawn, not all the waters oE the ooaan could wash away the stain on the escutcheon of the State, but it would "rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red." It was wrong even it she was as guilty as the guiltiest a bloody Mary, or Catherine de Medici, instead of "diamond queen." But suppose she was a kleptomaniac, and oommitted her crime because she oould not help it. This woman at Milledgeville may have been no more guilty than others. It seems that she did not profit by ber misdoings any way. A man, if suoh a oreature oould bear the name of man, it is said, forged the orders, and mere ly made her the instrument of his vil lainy, standing at the door ready to receive the goods as soon as they were stolen. Now be is at liberty, she in person the viotim of a oruel whipping or beating for the crime ot insubordi nation. For our part, we do not think that any woman, white or black, should be whipped, for it is a sin against woman hood, whether administered by an in dividual or the State; and when by in dividuals as in the case of wife beat mg, organizations of "white caps" usually pay their respeots to the man who attempts suoh a brutal deed. Is the deed any less flagrant when done by the State t But who ooold punish the State T There is One to whom even the State may have to answer, whose servant David prayed: "Let tbe sighing of the prisoner oome before Thee, 0 Lord." And it ever tbe sigh ot a prisoner entered the ear of the Judge of all tbe earth it was tbe sigh of this poor woman who was beaten into submission by the ageuts of this great State, with no human be ing to speak a word of remonstranoe or commiseration. This ease, added to what was re ported ot the prison pen in Atlanta, ana tales we near or. peonage iu umor ent parts of Alabama, makes one be lieve that there are daix deeas perpe (rated in oonneotion witb the criminal olasses suoh as should make the angels in. It is of the Brat importance that attention should be given to this subject at once -that tbe flagging of prisoners, oertainly women prisoners should be abandoned, and Ihe State care for Its criminal children somewhat in lha aama aoirit that a father WOUIU care for his disobedient sod criminal sona. . .

North Cnrolina'a State Museum Has Added tbis Interesting Feature to Her Already Full Line ot Exhibits. CoL V. A. Olds, in Wilmington Messenger, North Carolina's State museum is one of tbe finest in all tbe United States and nothing elsewhere in the South be gins to approach it. It ia a great build ing two stories in height and occupying a spaoe of 220 feet ou three sides of a fqaare and 150 feet on tbe remaining side. It ia a very practical museum and contains a oolleotion illustrative of tbe State's resources, which it has eost more than $100,000 to make. Tbe newest feature of this great mu senm is what is known as the "Ball of Histoty," a noble room, one hundred teet by forty Ave feet in sire, with roof forty-five feet in height, all the finish ings being of polished native pine. For a number of years tbe writer has had in view the establishment of such a ball of history, and tbe museum au thorities having placed tbis ball at his disposal, he began last winter the work of making a collection to fill it; s ool leotion which will illustrate every period of tbe State's history, from the old Indian days down to the very latest year and event. The arrangement is therefore chronological. The exhibits are in handsome cases, made ot native woods.' The first oases are devoted to Indian life and they show what the Indians used in war and in peaoe, weapons, implements of all kinds, household utensils, articles used in ceremonies and in games, etc Tbe development ot tbe stone axe and the tomahawk, down to tbe time when those of iron superseded those of stone, is shown with -great care. There are etones nsed in games, for polishing, the leaf-ehaped juna&jKbose nse isyet.re.thar mjateriooav ceremonial stones, Koivas.tapear and arrow heads, mortars and pestles, pots and jars of pottery and soapstone, skeletons, engraved shells, beads, and the Indian money which was variously known by them as wampum, peak and ronock. Tbe coming of tbe while man to North Carolina, where the English first made their landing, in 1584, is illustra ted by ballast left at Roanoke Island by Amidaa and Barlowe, and by the first map ever made ot tbe Slate, tbis being dated 1590 and being based upon the drawings prepared by John White, whom Sir Walter Raleigh made tbe governor ot bis colony at Roanoke Island, tbn territory being named by Raleigh "Virginia," in oompliment to b is beloved queen, Elizabeth. Arms and armor ot tbe period 1584 are now being prooured, to be placed in tbe hall. The next period illustrated is tbat when the State was owned by the Lords Proprietors, Craven, Carteret, Granville and others. There is a will dated in tbe provinoeof Albemarle, 1692; grants of lands by tbe King to the Lords Pro prietors, oovering North and South Carolina and Tennessee ; grants by the Lords Proprietors, on parchment, su perbly exeouted, one of these being to Mr. Burnngton for tbe North Uarolma fisheries for tbe period of seven years; roval seals: a copy of tbe Charleston Gazette dated June 12, 1775, contain ing the resolutions adoptea at Charlotte by tbe people of Mecklenburg county, Mav 31. 1775. but containing no men tion of the resolutions of May 20, 1775, known as tho "Mecklenburg Deolara tion of Independence." It is upon this paper that the persons who disbelieve the resolutions of May 20, found their faith. Tbe oopy of tbe Gazette in ques tion has several of the paragraphs of tbe resolutions of May 31 marked by tbe royal governor, who sent the paper to England in order tbat the king and his ministers might see it. The i ale of tbe bords fropnetors and that of the king are blended bo far in tbe collection, but later there will be a distinct separation. All of tbe Lords Proprietors exoept Earl Granville Bar rendered their rights in tbe land to the king, bat Granville declined to do so and so bis lands were set apart, an enormous area, to whioh he granted deeds upon which these lands are now held, oovering a good deal of North Carolina and Tennessee. The royal regime is further illustrated by relics from tbe battle ground of Alamaooe, which was a sort et prelude to tbe revolutionary war, and in wbioh battle the "regulators," aa they were termed, were overwhelmed by tbe royal troops, aided by tbe militia. There are ad dresses, letters and proclamations- by Governor Tryon, in th king's behalf, aud also royal proclamations, very quaint ia style; there are a great nnm ber ot valuable autograph letters ana also the finest oolleotion extant of por traita (etchings) of North Carolina's great men of tbe colonial period, so many ot whom also aobieved greatness as revolutionists, rebels, if you will. The revolutionary period is illostra ted by a fine oolleotion of arms ot all kinds, pictures, autographs, household utensils, eto. Among the letters is one from tbat great hero of tbe sea, rani Jones and John Paul Jones, sinoe he was thus variously known. There are letters from the leading revolutionary generals, and two of these, lately ob tained, settle the question aa to the name of General Davidson. Some have claimed that it waa merely William, while othera said it waa William Lee, but tbese letters show tbat be wrote it both ways. There is a commission of revolutionary general wbioh snows the oonfidenoe whioh tbe anthorities had in him and how much waa left to hie. dieoretion. It is naturally difnoult to classify tbe objects representing the long period which elapsed between tbe war ot the revolution and the great civil war, but this Deriod is widely illustrated. There are relies of Nathaniel Maoon, by many persona olaimed to be the greatest North Uaroiimap, wbose grave is in a field in his farm in Warren county and whose monument a mere heap of atones the creation of passer-by, who at will add a atone or atones to the heap, whioh ia thus sometimes larger and some times smaller. Suoh waa the mono ment whioh Macon, one ot the moat ecoentrie ot men (next to John Kan dolph, of Roanoke) asked tor In bis will. Iu this will be also provided tor a funeral feast tor all tbe people, wbite and black in hia eommunity, thia feast including both solids and liquids, ot whioh it ia aaid more than 3.000 par took. There are in the oolleotion the sots of the State convention ot 1788 at Hillsboro, which deohned to ratify the federal constitution, and a oopy of eota of tbe convention ot the following year, at Fayetteville, wbioh did ratify that great instrument. There is an opinion, tthlfth ia In the hand-wr t Dff ot Mr, Joitloe JaroM Iredell ot tbs United Statu Mptimt opnrti whioh Ii ot oi tional importance. It ia dated in 1703, and ia in tbe oaae ot Cbieholm againat tbe State of Georgia. It involves tbe great question of State sovereignty and retulted in the addition of the eleventh amendment to tbe federal constitution. It waa a dieseoting opinion, all the other members of tbe court holding a oontrary view, but time worked changes and so thia opinion beoame not only a part ot tbe eonstitution but ia now held by tbe supreme eourt to be good law. Farther than tbis it ia relied upon by thia State in tbe notable suit which is being brought against North Carolina by tbe 8tate of South Dakota, to force this State to pay tbe faoe value ot cer tain . bonds wbioh by constitutional amendment, ratified by tbe people, tbe treasurer bas been direoted to pay opon a scale basis. One of tbe obisota of this long period which will arrest attention is all tbat remains of tbe statue of Washington by Canova, the great Italian s'enptor; woik into which Canova threw bis soul and which be is said to have deem ed his masterpiece. Tbe statue was oaloined and nearly destroyed by tbe fire which in 1831 burned tbd old State oapitol. Tbe bead waa taken away later and bas never since been seed. Tbe etatne was bought through tbe influence of Thomas Jefferson, waa brought to this country by. a man of war and from Fayetteville was hauled here by oxen, with a military escort, and with imposing ceremonies. When .LaFayette was here on bis memorable visit in 1825 be went spe oially to see this statue, then in the rotunda of the capitol. An interesting relio is a die iron whioh . tbe -Becbtler gold five dollar coins were made, Congress authorizing him to coin this money at Rutherford ton., There is a commission of William R. Davie as ambassador to tbe French republic, siened bv Jefferson, and an -official... letter- from t.baVrpablio. .ac knowledging his mission, also a Utter to him from Citizen Joseph Bonaparte. There is a letter in Gaelio, written by one cf tbe 8ootob who afier tbe fateful battle of Collodeo, in 1745, oame over by thousands to tbis State and settled in tbe Cape Fear country, where few families even yet speak ttaeho There is a deed bearing tbe graceful yet intricate signature of Colonel Ed mund buncombe, who gave origin to the famous phrase "speaking for Bun combe." Tbe fonr seals of North Carolina are shown, to-wit: the royal seal, in wax, half a pound iu weight, the seal used by tbe first State governor Kichard Caswell, and tbat ustd by Governor Josiah Martin. Tbe latter strange to say, is Martin's own private seal, wbiob he used as tbe State seal, the copy of it here shown being the only one in ex istence in North Carolina, so far as oan be ascertained. Tbe last or present seal is also in tbe oolleotion. Another letter settles a question as to a name and its proper orthography. There has long been a dispute as to whether the founder of North Caro Una's publio eobopl system spelled bis name Archibald Mnrpbey or Murphy, The .letter, all in bis own band, says Murphy is the right way. A queer document is tbe protest of the Quakers or Friends against bearing arms. It is dated during the revolu tion, and is signed in their bebalf by Samuel Skinner, of Perquimans county, where there was then and bad been for more than a century before, the most important settlement of Quakers south of Pennsylvania. Coming down to tbe civil war period the oolleotion is very wide of range and rich in or-jeots there being uni forms and arms (among tbem those of Generals Pettigrew and Bryan Grimes) of all kind, projeotilee great and small, bocki, powder, shoes (some en tirely of wood, some with wooden bot toms, iron-shod, and some of leather, English made, brought through tbe blockade); powder made here in great quantities tor tbe state and the Confed erate government; lamps, cotton yarn, candles which ware brought through tbe blockade, paper, oloth of all kinds, illustrated papers; and an Episcopal prayer-book, one ot a few thousand bought in England by various churches in this diooese aud paid for in cotton, tbis book, strange to say, beariog on ooe ptge a prayer for tbe President of the Confederate States of America and oo another a orayer tor tbe fleets and navies of tbe United States of America, tbe English royal printers ot testa ments, Eyre & 8pottiswoode, having failed to alter tbe latter prayer. There is silverware from tbe State blockade-runner "Advanoe," bought by Governor Vance and fitted out by tbe State as tbe first enterprise in that line, the idea having been conceived, as Vanoe himself stated, by bis adju tant general, James G. Martin. There are alBo State bonds, known as "cotton bonds," which Vanoe sent abroad by bis agent, for the purobase ot muni tions of war, maobinery, clothing, shoes, etc, wbioh eoabled him to bet ter olotbe aod better feed the troops of North Carolina than those from any other Slate in Confederacy. There are orders written on tbe battlefield by all the great Confederate Generals, and tbe maps used in ihe Virginia earn paigns; also tbe map wbioh Uenerai Sherman used in hia march through Georgia and tbe Carolines. There are tworeliosof tbe Confederate ram Albe marle, whioh vessel Peter E. Smith built iu a cornfield !oo the bank of Roanoke river, wbioh created suoh eonsternation among the Federal fleet and land forces, and wbioh was blown up witb a torpedo at Plymouth by tbe wonderfully daring Lieutenant Cush ing, U. S. Navy, thia aot being one of the most heroio of the entire eivil war. Tbs two relioa ot this vessel are the shot-riddled tmSkestack and a piece of tbe armor-plate.

Tbe oandle aticka used by President Davis are shown, these having beet, in bis tent at the time of bis capture near Washington, 6a. There is a nearly complete oolleotion ot Confederate money and a complete oolleotion. of N. C- war ourrenoy. A oolleotion is rapidly being formed of tbe autographs of all tbe governors, ot tbe three periods of tbe State's his tory. Oae ot tbe curiosities in tbe ball is a collection largely- illustrating tbe life of Confederate prisoners on John son's Island, tbis including theatrical programmes and tickets to tbe per formances of tbe "Rebel Thespiani;" prison money, eto., and there are alto recruiting notices issued very early in the war. Coming down to the latest period, tbat of tbe war w itb Spain, many relics are on view. Ooe case is devoted to those of Ensign Worth Bagley, killed on Ihe torpedo boat "Winslow," and there are oannons from Spanish ships taken at Santiago and Manila, as well as several cases filled with arms and various other objects from Cuba, Porto Rioo and the Philippines, and there are also objects, including arms, etc., sent borne by North Carolinians who were in the fighting in China. In one eud of tbe ball are two magnifi cent animals, a buffalo and an elk, which illustrate the time when they were abundant in North Carolina. Lawson, the historian, save be saw buffalo killed in tbe year 1701 within one hundred miles of tbe coast ot Ibis State, and tbe last elk was killed in ooe of tbe northwestern counties about 100 years ago. Tbis collection has been tbe work of only eight months and is proving a great attraction to people from tbis and other States. THE GRa.IDPa.THKE CLAUIE IS THE FEDEBAL COHITITVIIOH. Here 1b a "poser" for the Northern lunatics from the Atlanta Constitution : There Is absolutely neither wisdom nor necesE ity that demands of the dem ocratic party that it should raise an issue on any negro question with tbe republican party in tne next presiden tial campaign. So far as the fourteenth amendment Is concerned, the republican parly can fix its Intended policy, if It has any to fix, during the fonrthcoming session of congress. If It does not take up tbat matter and put its threats Into execu tion tbat fact will be propeily estimat ed by the country at large and pro nounced a mere campaign "raw head and bloody bones," without meat or blood for any man, much leBS for the befooled negroes of tbe country. Whenever a congress ot the United States attempts to throw out southern members-elect on the pretext that they were not chosen by an unrestricted electorate embracing every man nepro in tbe district, a case will be made for the supreme court that will bring this whole suffrage question and tbe state's rights therein to a definite test of the fi nal meanings of the constitution. If the republicans do not fear that test they will not hesitate to at once make its trial possible. That will Involve wait ing until the whole question has been threshed over another time in a bloody shirt national campaign. The truth of the case is that the re publicans are afraid to face such a full, fair and constitutional trial of their fad before the supreme tiibunal of the country. If they had not been so afraid for many years past they would long ago have appealed to the court on their own motion to sustain their fav orite interpretation of the meaning and e Sects of the fourteenth amendment All their pretended hysterics over the matter are the merest fizz, fuss and leathers Indeed, nearly all the arguments that are now advanced against the southern suffrage laws are. aimed at the famous "grandfather" clauses. Yet tbe class of persons that was pri marily affected bv those clauses is now hardly findable among tbe suffragans of any of tbe southern states. We be lieve that all those classes might be swept away to-moiTow without doing any injustice to anybody. But if they are so obnoxious and in tbe name of equity should be excised frcm state constitutions, why should not the "grandfather" clause in the national constitution be also expunged ? Arti cle 2, section 1, psragraph 5, of that In strument provides that: "No person except a natural bom citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this con stitution, shall be eligible to the office of president," etc. That was a square toed grandfather clause at the time of its incorporation In the constitution and there were men who afterwards profited by it. Presi dent Roosevelt is even now a benefi ciary of It, for by that clause his an cestors were made citizens of the Uni ted States and endowed with the rights of suffrage that he has inhetited In combination with the right to be elect ed president of the country, If he can get enough electoral votes. The wise course for the democrats to pursue is to let the republicans start the negro Issue of the campaign, If there are any negro Issues at all. They have developed in tffe north recently some fine questions in tbat line that will furnish plenty of material for live ly debates without touching npon southern race problems at all and it will give any democrat pleasure to keep them entertained with tbe doings and sentiments of their own northern republican constituents. The south is getting along on the race lines now as well as could be ex pected and has 00 call to agitate for further relief unless the demon ot folly should egg on the republicans to re new their attacks on the right of state to regulate its own suffrage sys tem.

Raleigh NewB and Obaerver. The various complaints made in Ral eigh that certain property has been assessed above its true value will be carefully investigated. If tbe assess meat is too high, Ihe board should re duoe it to tbe right figure. Property should be aseefsed at its "trne value in money." The board of assessors sought to oarry out the law to the letter. They are human and may have made mis takes. There is need of a obaoge in tbe method of assessing property. Every county ought to have a Tax Assessor elected by the people who should assess all property. He would then have ample time to make full investigation. After tbe assessments are completed they should be published in the county paper so that every tax payer could contrast his own assessment with that of bis neighbor. People seldom object to their own assessment on tbe ground tbat it is too bigb, but tbey complain that it is too high iu comparison witb tbe assessment of like property. That is a very natural objection and a proper one, for all tax-payers tboold be fed out of the same spoon. There's a world of sense in the following brief editorial from tbe Roxboro Couriet : "Some paper has suggested tbat the best way tn get property valued at something I ki its tine valuation is to have tbe assessments published iu tbe county newspaper, and we have about oonoloded tbat this will be tbe surest and best remedy for tbe present all along tbat line. For instance, in a neatby town we knew one of tbe best and most kflaential citizens, a leading light in one of tbe churches, wbo has a beaotifuf residence which he wants to sell, and while it is listed for taxation at two thousand dollars be positively de olined to take less than five thousand dollars. A three thousand dollar cash proposition was laughed at. Think yon that mm would have allowed any such valuation if be bad koowo tbat it was going to be published to the worldt No, never."

More than 3.000 persons were present at the Confederate Re-union at Smith field on Wednesday, 300 ot whom were Confederate veterans, to bear Major Stedman's address. Tbe orator of the day was introdncedjby Mr. W. M. San ders in an eloquent speech, wbiob he olosed as follows: "I now have tbe great pleasure and honor to present to yon as orator of tbis occasion, one of yocr old comrades, wbo has lived a useful life in peaoe as well as in war. A profound lawyer and statesman, a gifted orator and I predict tbe next governor of this great Commonwealth, ihe Hon. Chas. Manly Stedman of tbe County of Guilford." Major Stedman said in part: "It was tbe dauntless moral resolu' tion of the soldiers of tbe Sooth which made their great deeds possible. What grander spectacle does tbe world's his tory furnish than the unconquerable resolution witb wbiob tbey maintained the flghtl Tbey were neither elated by suocess nor disheartened by disaster, but ever tbe same unchanged and un changing men of iron. Without that moral power to sustain tbem, tbe in comparable legions of Lee would bave in vain struggled for so long a time to roll back the tide of invasion across tbe banks of tbe Potomac, and the marvellous campaigns of Stonewall Jackson would bave found no place in history to gild forever with a romantio lustre the beautiful valley ot Virginia. Neither famine nor pestilence nor mighty armies oarryiog in their track destruction of all tbat was near and dear to them could subdue their invin oible will. In tbe splendid future wbiob awaits the Southern portion of tbis Renoblio there, is np.cbaracter, .tbe study ot which will more elevate its citizens and fit tbem for its blessings than tbat of the Confederate soldier. The oapstone of tbe aroh of his glory was tbe moral power which sustained him upon tbe battlefield and wbicb forever perpetuate his fame. ' An incident which illustrates tbe supreme ssnee ot duty which can only be imparted by moral firmness, as ex bibited by a North Carolina soldier, deserves to be recorded amidst the feats ot heroes. The conduct of a pri vate by the name of Tillman in the 44 :h North Carolina Regiment had at traded tbe favorable notioe of bis bri gade commander and be was at his request attached to tbe oolor guard. Tillman's came was also honorably mentioned in the orders of the day from brigade headquarters. Soou thereafter, in front ot Petersbnig the regiment became severely engaged with the enemy and ft area beavy loss. The fhg several times fell, as its bearers were shot down in quick euo oesslon. Tillman seized it and again carried it to tbe front. It was but an instant and he too fell. As one of bis comrades stooped to raise the flag again tbe dying soldier touched him aud in tones made weak by the ap proach of death, said: 'Tell tbe gene ral I died with tbe fUg.' The tender memories and associations connected with bis boyhood's home faded from bis vision as be rejoioed in the oon soionsness that be bad proved himself worthy of the trust whioh had been oonfided to bim. ''Wolfe died upon the heights of Abraham the death of a hero, and as his spirit took its flight to another world, left as a legacy to his oountry men words wbiob will forever live Nelson at Trafalgar, illustrated by his conduot and speech his supreme seoee of duty to Eagland and ber glory. Tbe Sootebman wbo died at Waterloo with his bagpipe in bis hand, by tbe sabre of tbe Cuirassier cf Ihe Guaid, whilst thinking cf Ben Lothian aod playing an air of bis native land, has been immortalized by Victor Hugo. But which of tbese three; aye, who of all those who live in song and story is more worthy of tbe crown of immor tality than the humble country lad whose grave today is unnotioed and unknown 1 "Have we learned naught from the silent endurance, tbe patient agony, tbe deathless valor of the Confederate soldier t His life aod conduot have taught ns tbe lesson over again which history is ever repeating. It is neither oo the greatest fields of battle, nor plaoes where the most calamitous bloodshed bas taken place tbat tbe re oolleotion of future ages is chit fly rivetted. It is moral grandeur whioh produces a durable impression. It is patriotic heroism which permanently attracts the admiration of mat kind. "The day mav oome when tbe mem ory of tbe fields of Gettysburg and Fredenck6burg, of bbarpsourg and Cbanoelloreville, shall be dimmed by tbe obscurity of revolving years, and reoolleoted only as a shadow of anoient days, but even then the enduring forti tude and patriotic valor of the Confed erate soldier who followed the banner of Robert E. Lee will stand forth in undeoaying lustre emid tbe wreck of time." Maj. Stedman closed his eloquent address as follows: "Death, which destroys the pomp and power of tbis world bas only plaoed tbe seal of immortality opon their lives. The eaored obarge of their fame is entrusted to you, my oountry men and oonntrywomen. Guard it devoutly, bravely, justly and truly, that it may remain untarnished in its pristine glory and not alone witb tbis generation, but with all those who may come after us until time shall be no more. Let the glorious example left by tbem be preserved for untold ages and for every people from tbe rising to the setting sun. If history be false, let tradition preserve it, and ou every anniversary of onr memorial dajB let elcquenoe proolaim it as a heritage for all humanity which it has elevated and adorned with a pathos and glory which belongs to the civilized world. "My oomrades, as your footsteps ap proach tbe shores ofhat river broad and deep wbioh fl)ws between time and eternity, may the pathway ot each aod every one of you be lighted by the sunshine of peace and happiness, and in the horizon far beyond may you see tbe rainbow of eternal promise which shall tell you that your last battle has been won and tbat a crown awaits you more splendid than was ever worn by earths most favored hero."
