WEBSTER'S SPEECH Delivered at The Unveiling of The Gillies Monument Yesterday. I esteem it a great honor to perform the part assigned me in the exercises of this memorable day. It is always a pleasure to visit this historic field, reclaimed and beautified by the Guil ford Battle .Ground Company, under the leadership of Judge David Schenck, at once the brainiest and most patri otic man in the state, whose defence of the North Carolinamilitiahas silenced their calumniators and made this spot, long the scene of their supposed shame, the delight of all patriotic hearts. There are others who could dis charge the task assigned me more creditably and satisfactorily than I can hope to do, but none an speak from a fuller heart or with more sin cere admiration for the noble spirit of patriotism displayed by the young people who have chosen to add a new treasure to this hallowed spot. Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give you. The pleasing office of voicing the sentiment of the donors and telling the story of the brave bugler boy has been wisely conferred upon another and it falls to my lot to express the appre ciation of the alumni of Oak Ridge Institute of the noble action of the lit erary societies in linking the name of theiralma mater with the memory of one whose story the world will not let die. They are proud of the school and rejoice in its prosperity. Whatever of success they are achieved so far in life and whatever of hope they have for the future, they attribute in large measure to the thorough and consci entious training they received at Oak Ridge. Next to their own homes they regard it as the dearest spot on earth and feel toward it as the psalmist did when he said: If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her cunning If I do not remember thee, Let my tongue cleave to the roof of My mouth, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. They rejoice to see their old places filled by each bright and promising boys and feel the sacrifice made by them to perpetuate the memory of the little hero who gave his all for liberty iia guarantee that they have in them the stuff of which patriots are made. It is to the glory of Oak Ridge In stitute that its ambition is to make men and not partisans. It asks the support of no party or sect as the prop agator of their peculiar views, but stands upon its own intrinsic merits. It knows no Baptist physics, Presby terian mathematics, nor Methodist book-keeping. It inculcates a patriot ism as broad as the country and a re ligion as deep as human need. It en vies the success of no other institution either State, ecclessiastical or private, but would join heart and hand with all of them in banishing ignorance and lifting humanity upon a higher plane. The exercises of this day attest the patriotic sentiment that pervades the atmosphere of that institution. They proclaim in eloquent tones that love of country and admiration of the true and noble are being instilled into the minds of its pupils. It is the law of our nature that we become like those whom we habitually admire, and the importance of setting before the youth of our country correct models of vir tue and patriotism cannot be over es timated. These young people have been inspired to make a noble sacri fice, putting their money into a mem orial that will teach a lesson of he roism to coming generations, by read ing the story of the bugler boy. His was a humble part in the drama of blood that emancipated a continent, but we shall never know till the books are opened in the final day how much the world owes to the modest hero. Great battles are often decided by a trifling incident, just as the flutter of a bird's wing at a certain point of the Rocky Mountains may send one drop of water toward the Pacific ocean and another toward the Atlantic. No doubt the martial blast of the bugler boy whose monument we dedicate this day nerved many a soldier for the fight and inspired the noblest deeds of daring. Muehlback relates an inci dent in the life of the great military genius ol r ranee, ai Marengo me Man of Destiny, sad and disheartened thought the battle lost. He called to a drummer boy and ordered him to Jbeat a retreat. The lad replied: "Sire, I do not know how. Dessaix has never taught me 'etreat, but I can beat a charge. Oh, I can beat a charge that would make the dead fall into line! I beat that charge at the Bridge of Lodi; I beat it at Mount Tabor; I beat it at the Pyramids! Oh, may I beat it here?" The charge was ordered, the battle won, nd Marengo was added to the victories of Napoleon. Continued on second page. J ADMIRAL DEWEY'S REPORT. Only Six American Sailors Were Wounded at Manila.
