Ills Addreii Delivered at Bnltlmore. liaitlmore Sun, S iator Z. B. Vance. Monday evening, delivered an address be fore the Confederate Maryland Line Association on 'The Last days of the War in North Carolina." The hall was crowded, a large portion of t he audience being ladies. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, presi dent of the Maryland Line Associa tion, called tho meeting to order, and introduced Gov. Vance, who was enthusiastically received.. Mr. Vance said for the want of opportunity of research in the midst of his congressional duties he had chosen to speak about the closing scenes of the war, the grand culmi nation f which happened in North 'arolina, for the reason that most of them came within his personal knowledge. There is one feature of these times most worthy of note. From April to October, lSGo, the people of North Carolina were ab solutely without law, civil or mili tary. There was not a judge on the bench, not a magistrate or sheriff, constable, or any kind of civil servant or conservator of the peace in the State invested with legal authority. A complete social chaos reigned. Yet the instincts of order were sublimely present, and never did any portion of the great race to which we belong give stronger proof of its capacity for self-government and its innate de sire for civilization. On the 1st day of February, lSGo, with irresistible force, Sherman's column began the march through the southern regions of South Caro lina, towards Columbia, and into Virginia, along the track of Slier-; man's great predecessor, Corn wallLs, ! in 17SI. bnt he left the Cornwallis i track near "VYinnsboro, South Caro lina, and turning to the right, made for Fayetteville. His army marched in two great divisions, near a day's march apart, thus covering and de vastating a wide expanse ofcoun-; try. When a general organizes a t corps of thieves and plunderers as a part of his invading army, and: licences beforehand their outrages, he and all who countenance, aid or j abet, invite the execration of man- : kind. This peculiar arm of the military service, the "Bummer: Corps,"' it is charged and believed I was instituted by Gen. Sherman iu his invasion of the Southern; States. The speaker drew a parallel be tween the wasting and destruction which characterized Sherman's ' march and the scrupulous regard: for the private rights of property and the persons of non-combatants which, he said, was rigidly enforced bv Lord Cornwallis in the march of his army. General Sherman was I righting, as lie said, for the sole! purpose of restoring the Union and! for making the people of the rebel-1 lious States look to the Union alone j for protection; does any act or; order of his anywhere indicate ai similar desire of protecting the people from suffering at the hands j of those whose duty it was to pro tect them t Senator Vance described the ', burning of Fayetteville on January 10, 1805, when were destroyed the arsenal and the old bank of North j Carolina. He also contrasted Gen. Sherman with Gen. Lee, "his great- est foe; likewise the greatest, cer- tainly the most humane general of! modern times.'' He recounted the history of the I closing battles until Sherman effect ed a junction with Schofield at Holdstxiro on the 23d of March, their toice exceeding 110,000 men. A pnl Kith Gen. Sherman put his tioops in motion towards Raleigh, and Gen. .Johnston's troops began , to fall back slowly. The speaker was then Governor of North Caro lina. Painful rumors of the sur-: render ol Gen. Lee had been circu lated, and Gov. Vance consulted, Gen. .Iohnton as to what it was best tor him to do. As a result of this, commissioners were appointed to neat with (Jen. Sherman tor the protect ion of the State capitol. Tilts protection was promised in 1. tiers directed to Gov. Vance, and ,.;:. Sherman issued oulers to his . eiiiniau.l. He sent the Governor an ;;jv ltaticii to return to Raleigh, which he declined to accept, but iu on li.irscback to join l'resi- 1 n.itor X'.iii. c (Icscnbcil his in ,c a w ,ih Mr. I a vis. at Ch.u . in tin- presence of Mr. Keaan. i eckciirblo;e. ; . i -: 1 1 1 1 1 i s i:' 1 and oik or Ins cabinet be ii i me !o 1 1 : 1 1 1 to A; to do. and to ltciitions.

With a dee) sigh Mr. Davis replied to Gen. Breckinridge: 'Well, perhaps. Gen eral, you are fright.' I remarked that Gen. Breckinridge's views coincided with my own sense of duty, and alter a vers' littly more conversation 1 arose, and offered my hand to President Davis to bid him goodbye. He shook it long and warmiy, saying: God mess you. sir, and the noble old State of North Carolina.' With feelings which I am not able to describe, 1 thus bade farewell to the Southern Confod eracy, and returned to Greensboro, with the intention of going to Eal- eigh and resuming my duties as Governor if permitted." ; The speaker said the fust con- vention proposed by Gen. Sherman at that time, had it been ratified at Washington, would have, completed ; the dominion of the Union at once.( His language in this connection was: '-In short, when I say that the terms offered us bv Gen. Sher man would have saved the South' the horrors of reeonsti uction. I have , said all that human clooiu nee is capable of sayir.L-: and 1 feel in clined to forgive Gen.

Her' .dead on ihe bat tie-fields of Virginia were often more than twice as great as those from any other State, and in more than one of Lee's great battles they exceeded the dead from ' all the States put together. In his opinion she was less exhausted : when the end came than anv other. State, and she had the means and vitality and the spirit to have con- tinned the struggle two years longer if she had been supported. The last to begin the fight, she was the last to leave it.

It was a Na tional event, and I may say the whole nation united in expression of joy and gratitude over the com pletion of the memorial forihe cere- monies brought to the Capitol mili- tary and civic organizations from every part of the country. It is a consummation which, ten years ago seemed not likely to occur during the present century. To-day it is a perfected structure, piercing the sky, the highest monument ever raised by human hands, and it will be a wonder and delight forever, to all who gaze upon it. The dedicatory programme was admirably carried oat, both at the monument and at the Capitol. The procession presented a splendid appearance on the smooth, cleanly swent floor of Pennsylvania A vennt-. and a nner military display has seldom been seen, even in this city of memorable pageants. At the head ot the line, mounted oa a fine black horse, and enveloped in a large black cloak, rode the General of the Army, "Little Phil. Sheri dan,"' followed by lour Aids. Gen oral Ayers marshalled another division of the procession, and General Fitz Hugh Lee, on a large bay stallion brought up another. President Arthur followed about midway in the procession. lie was in an open carriage, the only one in the line dra-wn by four horses. He was cheered and jeered along the route. One uncouth individual shouted, "Hello Chet. old boy, I am sorry I can't go fishing with you next summer." The sun shown upon the celebration, but the winter wind was piercing. The crowds on the streets hugged the lee-side of t the buildings, in their efforts to keep . comfortable, and seemed far more desirous of witnessing the military , display than the ceremonies. The , nrofirramme at the base of the , monument comprised a prayer, re : marks embodying a" history of the monument by W. W Corcoran, the first Vice-President of- the monu ment society, Masonic ceremonies, remarks by Col. Casey, the engineer of the Commission delivering the monument to the President of the L'nited States, and the dedication of the monument to the name and memory of George Washington by tho President. Senator Sherman presided and prefaced his introduc- tions by saying no one was expected to take off his hat, not even the speakers. The wind came to the : monument from every point of the compass; from Virginia, across the frozen Potomac on one side, and across icv Babcock lake on tho trom the Chairman, Senator Sher- man, the military wheeled into line, the civic bodies and distinguished participants iu the proceedings of the day sought their carriages, and I the Pageant proceeded to the Cap- it.ol. There it was reviewed by the President from the east front andi dismissed. The procession was an j hour in passing a point, there being j about live thousand persons in line. The programme at the Capitol wasi as follows: Prayer by the pastor i ol'Porick church, near Mount Ver-' noti; oration by Hon. Robert "Win-. rhrop, of Massachusetts, read by Representative Long, also from Massachusetts; oration by Hou.: John W. Daniel, of Virginia, and ; benediction by the chaplain of the! House of Representatives. Among the lavored two thousand who were ,. invitctl by ticket to these proceed ings, were the .surviving kindred of Washington, thirteen of whom bear his name. They came in a body to gether, and naturally attracted curious observation. j The history of the National mon ument is almost coeval with that of the Republic, itself, for at the close cif the levolution, the subject of erecting a memorial to the General of the Revolutionary army, was brought up in Congress. The, cor ner stone wa laid on the fourth of duly l-fs, iu the presence of Presi- . den: Taylor, both Houses of (..'on- , gross, and a vast concourse of people. At the outbreak of the w ar it had reached the height of 150 feet.
