SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS SS EVERYWHERE QRIAL ADDRESS Delivered to The Buck Ki rerun Camp, U. C. V., at Scotland Neck, N. C, on Wednesday, May 10, 191 1. Mr. Dunn is a Scotland Neck boy, and after expressing his gratifica tion in having the privilege to stand before an audience composed of his home people, he said: With vision undimmed by section alism or prejudice, with reason un swayed by partiality or passion, with the dark clouds of error and exag geration swept away by the bright rays oi truth and justice, a great and unbiased military genius stands upon the high mountain of right, and through the clarified atmos phere that time has made, looks out upon the plains and valleys of forty-s-even years ago and beholds in progress the struggle of the cen turies. How clear to him are the circumstances and conditions under which they fight, how obscured to him are the causes which actuate them. He knows nothing of the principles involved nor the rights affected, but views, and appraises, and judges with the critical eye of a military genius. He sees on the one side an old established govern ment, recognized by all the nations of the world, and a representative in its every capital; on the other a government brought into existence by the necessity of the hour, new born, and standing alone, without recognition or representation, with none, save its own citizens, so poor as to do it reverence. On the one side a government with workshops and factories of every kind imme diately available for the manufac ture of every species of supplies for the army and the navy, with re sources unbounded, and credit un limited, an army and navy regular and fully manned end fully equip ped, with its arsenals, its dockyards, and its workshops, with all their supplies of arms and ordnance and naval stores of every kind and the means of manufacturing the same, possessing all the "chief centers of banking and commerce and the con trol of the national currency; on the other a government barely organ ized, without munitions of war, without supplies, without factories to supply them, without an army, without an.iw.. withotj-. money.. without credit. On the one side an army of 2,778,304 soldiers, well equipped, well fed, well paid; on the other an army of only 600,000 men and boys all told, without equip ment, poorly fed, and oftentimes not id at all, whose soldiers had to whip the Yankees to get guns to fight them with, and who often had to depend on the enemy's commis- i , . j i a sary department ior tneir raiions. On the one side a government with ample means for hiring foreign sol diers to fight its battles, means which it used to the extent of enlisting 500,000 foreigners in its ranks, a rovernment with no loes save those .i l i.i r l l 1 1 j. u?)on me cattieneia, ana ner puru X . .1 it i T . J 1 open to tne worm or traae; on me other a government with no soldiers save her own with which to fight her battles, and no means with which to p-iy even these, a government with 323,000 oi those who should haye been loyal to its interests fighting in the ranks of the enemy, the only base of her supplies being her own farms and those who tilled the farms fighting at the front, her ports blockaded and no ships with which to brinjr from foreign lands the sup plies she so much needed. On the one side a soldier to take the place of every one that fell, on the other the thinning ranks with no possibili ty of being recruited. On the one side every resource, every advant age, every odd. And as he looks out upon the scenes of thai conflict and sees the army of the South vic torious on a hundred ensanguined fields, sees the march of the Federal army from Washington to Rich mond, a march which they had ex pected to make in a few days, lengthen into four of the bloodiest years of time, sees the Cross of St. An drew wave triumphant at the head of an army outnumbered first three, then five, and finally ten to one, sees the favorable conditions under which the -one and the untold difficulties under which the other fights, sees an army, which by every standard of numbers, equipment, and facilities fnr makintr war. should have been triumphant within a few months at the most, emerging victorious only when courage could not supply bread for its starving foe, looking on these things the mind of the military critic is perplexed. "What means this?" he says. "Is it possible that there is no virtue in overwhelming numbers, in adequate preparation, in limitless supplies for equipment and maintenance, in unequaled re sources? How is it, then, that the South succumbed only after four long years of bloody war, in which successive levie3 amounting in all to nearly three million of men had been is the only emulsion mu tated. The reason is plain it's the best. Insist upon having Scott's it's the world's standard flesh and strength builder. ALL DRUGGISTS - BY MR. R. C. DUNN. hurled against her, shut off from the world, wasted, rent, and desolate, bruised and bleeding, and then only when she was overpowered by main strength?" And it is in answer to this question that I would devote the remarks which I shall submit to you to-day. First. The Confederate soldier was commanded by leaders whom the world now recognizes as not only the greatest of modern times, but the equal, if not the superior, of any that history has produced. Com pelling the affections and inspiring the confidence of his followers, watching over their welfare, caring for their lives as for precious jewels, always ready to give his own life and reputation that their lives and repu tations might be saved, possessing to an infinite degree the insight to discern the strength and designs and the moral atmosphere of his oppon ents, correctly forecasting their con ceptions of his own surroundings and the design, strength, situation, both moral and physical, which they ascribe to him; having an abiding confidence in himself, the ability to think clearly and decide quickly in time of disaster, possessing such serenity of character as not to be cast down by adversity, the moral courage to grasp opportunity, to risk life, reputation, and command on the hazard of the die, when the good of the cause justified such a risk; possessing that judgment which tempers but does not shrivel bold ness, the strength of conviction which does not halt or vaccillate in the face of obstacles and doubt, and the wisdom which sees all obstacles in planning and none in execution save those which are insuperable; liberal of praise and chary of blame, willing to yield his glory to others, and to assume faults not his own; unselfish in a large sense, yielding hearty loyalty to superiors and show ing generosity and kindness to in feriors; having a profound and abid ing belief in the necessity and jus tice of the cause for which he fought, the purpose and determination to die rather than be beaten, despising odds and dignities and ..death, and believing and practicing the highest code of religion and morality: these were the sovereign causes which j went to crown the Confederate com mander, the monarch of the battle field, and to make him the idol and the ideal of the private in the ranks. Is it necessary that I should name them the peerless Lee, the saintly Jackson, the superb Johnston, and Hood, and Hill, and Hampton, and Beauregard, and Breckenridge, and Longstreet, and Stuart, and Forrest, and Ashby, our own Ramseur, and Pender, and Hill, and Hoke, and Wilcox, and Whiting, and Ransom, and Grimes, and Baker, and Petti grew, and Branch, and Cox, and hundreds of others whose name need not that I should mention them, so high are they engraved on the imperishable tablets of fame. And it is not necessary in order to main tain the assertion that the Southern army was the best led army that the world has ever seen, it is not neces sary, I say, to take the evidence of the South itself, but go into the ranks of the enemy and hear it said of them, "Only by rarest genius, surely, were those dazzling tactics, that lynx-eyed, sleepless watchful ness, that superhuman patience and superhuman valor, protracted al most incessant for four long years, keeping in tact victorious, and full inspiration that gray line, ever long er, ever thinner, of men outnum bered, two, then three, and at last five to one, whose food and clothing grew scantier with the daws, while the bounties of a continent replen ished their opponents, keeping that tenuous line unbroken till very star vation unfitted soldiers to handle muskets which must be used empty if at all. because ammunition w snent. And when we recall that all this was accomplished not because the Union army was cowardly, ill led, or asleep, but in spite of Grant's relentless push and. ably led army as brave, wary and determined as ever marched. Let us ask critics versed in the history of war," says he, "if books tell of generalship more com plete than this." And as this emi nent authority now recognizes so all the world must know the supero: qualities of those who led the South era army. Second. The Confederate soldier was an American. Behind him were the great traditions of the Anglo Saxon race whose blood has domi nated and controled, always and everywhere. It fed Alfred when he wrote the Charter of English liber- tvr it-gathered about Hampton as he stood beneath the oak; it thun Hered in Cromwell's veins as he fought his tyrant king; it humblec and destroyed the ambitious Na po'eon at Waterloo; it carried the drum-beat of freedom around tne world and spread on every continent the gospel of liberty and oi uod. There were Hastings and Cressy and Agincourt; there were Naseby and Blenheim and Quebec; there were ; Rnnker Hill and King's Mountain ! and Vallev. Forge and Yorktown. In i his veins flowed blood of a thousand ivears of chivalry.. blood untainted anaunmixeu, ailU 10 was lino oamc blood, still untainted and unmixec which flowed through the veins oi the 600.0C0 Confederate soldiers in thP Civil War. I would not detract from the scattering few of foreign birth who so nobly fought in the ranks of the Southern army, and whose sun went down with that of ours, one iota of their merited fame so justly their due. And yet how few they were as compared with the host enlisted under the Northern flag. There were 177,000 Germans in the Northern army, 144,000 Irish, 53,000 British Americans, 45,000 English, 75,000 soldiers of other nationalities and 186,000 Negrces, making a total of foreigners and Negroes of over 680,000. If the United States had not enlisted a single American citizen, its army would have outnumbered the total enlistment of the Confederate army by over 80,000 men, a larger number than Lee ever had perhaps at any one time. Add to this the 325.000 men of Southern birth whose cause should have been that of the South but whose arms were added to those of the North, and we find that if not a single white American citizen from the North, the Eastern or Western States had ever put his name down or fired a gun there- still would have been in the Union army 400,000 more men than the Southern army, according to its total enlistment, ever had. The historians never seem to tire of telling of the giant coalition of England and Austria and Prussia hurled against Napoleon, yet how much greater the coalition of America, of Ireland, of Germany, of England, of Europe &nd of Africa, aggregating in all nearly three mil lion soldiers, hurled against the six hundred thousand patriots of the Southern cause. Surely the men in gray were Americans of the purest blood. Third. The Confederate soldier was a Southerner, with all that name implies; a soldier of courage and bravery, a soldier of chivalry and character. The world will never again see the like of the Confederate soldier, for the flower of the South was in the ranks, and they were the product of the oldest and grandest Southern civilization. History tells of no braver men, none with greater powers of endurance, with nerves of iron and sinews of steel, none with more intelligence, none more tena cious of purpose, none more devot ed to duty, none with a higher con ception of Christian manhood or Christian character than the Con federate soldier. No nobler men ever lived, no braver soldiers ever answered the bugle call nor marched under flag or banner. They were untainted by selfir.hness and the frosts of commercialism never touched their lofty souls. They fought not for conquest, not fur ag- grandizement, but from a high and holy sense of duty, and the perform ance of that duty with whatever dangers it was attended, with what ever difficulties it was accompanied was to him the only true heroism. No sacrifice was too costly, no march too long, no odds too great, no breastworks too high, no death too awful for them to make and meet, dare and defy. On one of the moun tain sides in Switzerland, Nature in tier mood of majestic playfulness had so thrown together some of the immense rocks as, when viewed at the proper distance, to precisely re semble the features of the human countenance. It was a happy lot f or children to grow up to manhood with the Great Stone Face before their eyes, for all the features were noble, and the expression was at once grand and sweet, as if it were the glow of a vast warm heart that embraced all mankind in its affec tions and had room for more. The fertility of the valley was owing to this benign aspect that was continu ally beaming over it, illuminating the clouds and infusing its tender ness into the sunshine. And tra dition had it that at some future dav a child would be born within its shad ow who was destined to become the greatest and noblest personage of his time, and whose countenance, m manhood, would bear an exact re semblance to the Great Stone Face. And Ernest, a child of the valley, heard this prophesy from the lips of his mother, and prayed that he might live to see him who resembled the Great Stone Face. He spent his childhood in the log cabin where he was born, serving his mother with his dutiful hands and his loving heart, and after the day's tasks were done he sat down in the doorway and for hours gazed out towards the mountain where the Great Stone Face smiled down upon him. A son of the valley who had gone forth into the world and m the teeming marts of trade had become fabulous ly rich had returned to the shaaow of the mountain, and the people gazed upon him and said, "Truly he is the very image of the Great Stone Face." But Ernest turned sadly from the wrinkled shrewdness of that sordid visage and gazed up the vallev, where, - amid a gathering mist, gilded by the last sunbeams, he could still distinguish those glori ous features which had so impressed themselves into his soul, and h knew that the man had not yet come. And still Ernest grew in strength of character, in devotion to duty, in nobleness of heart and mind, and still when the day's work was done hp held his silent communion with the marvelous features beaming adown the valley, and wondered that the man was so long in coming. And a general, successful in his country's wars, came back to the home beside the mountain, and the peonle of the valley hailed him as the counterpart of the Great Stone Face. But Ernest turned away and sighed, for the man had not yet ap peared. And still he gazed upon the visaee of the graven giant and arrived at the meridian of his life, laboring for his daily bread, the same simple hearted man that he had always been. Not a day passed by that the world was not the better because this man, humble as he was, had lived. He uttered truths that wrought upon and moulded the lives of those who heard him, and the pure and high simplicity of his thought took shape in the good deeds that dropped silently from his hand. And still he gazed upon the Great Stone Face. And in turn the states man and the poet returned to the valley, bearing with them the plaud its of the world, and the people in turn looked upon them and said that the man had come at last. But Ernest turned away, melancholy and almost despondent, for the man had not yet come. And he linked his arm within that of the poet and to gether they went dowrn into the val ley where Ernest was to deliver an address to the inhabitants in the open air, and as he ascended the pul pit he faced the people as did the Great Stone Face upon the f ide of the mountain, and as he spoke his words had power because they ac corded with his thoughts and hit thoughts had reality and depth be cause they harmonized with the life he had always lived, and the poet thought that the words Ernest spoke were a i?obler strain of poetry than ever he had written. And at that moment, in sympathy with a thought he was about to utter, the face of Ernest assumed a grandeur of ex pression so imbued with benevolence that the poet, by an irresiltible im pulse, threw his arms aloft and shouted, "Behold, behold, Ernest is himself the likeness of the Great Stone Face!" And all the people looked and saw what the deep-sight ed poet said was true. By lookinp upon the Great Stone Face he hsd become like it. and the gentleness, the benevolence, the nobleness which it represented shnne forth in his; countenance and was exemplified in his daily life. So it was with the 'ConfoJerate foldier. lhere at the r. oi or-: tn grandest army ot tne r.; soldiers that ever marched to tie, an embodiment c the bat best generalship tnat time had ever ieo ed upon, th& impersonation of every manly virtue, of all that is great &nd true and best, stood him, whom the Union army led on the mountain top of temptation and before his imagi nation arrayed a splendid pag(v.r;t ol conquering armies, swayed ly his word of command, who br.de the tempter get behind him and walked down that mountain o glittering prospects to the plain of patriotism and duty where the Southern army awaited his leadership, Rooerc iii. Lee, Caesar without his crimes, Bone nart without his ambitions, and George Washington without his' crown of success. And the Confed-; erate soldier looked upon him end ( became like him. Surely he was a,' soldier of character. I remember having heard the Chaplain of Lee': army, J. William Jones, when be spoke here twelve or fourteen years ago, tell of a Confederate soldier, who, while in the midst of an un comfortably hot fight, and seeing a rabbit beating an exceedingly hasty retreat to the rear, exclaimed in ap proval of the course the rabbit was taking, Go it, molly cotton tan, it I didn't have a character to main- tain, I would sho' go with you." And it was that character that made the Confederate soldier the best sol dier that has ever fought a battle. Gaunt poverty stalked aoroad in the land sickening the heart of the soldier as he thought of the wife anu ittle ones at home deprived of every thing but the bare necessities cf life, and oftentimes even these, the moth er at home sending all that was pos sible to spare from the little ones to keep the country's Foldiers from starvation. And yet wa see nin. clinging to his colors white wife and child at home clutched at his courage with cries for bread, that courage which bounded all the depths and shoals of misfortune and for a time throttled fate itself. What but the splendid discipline and tne incom parable character or the L.omeder ate soldiers could have kept him from deserting his post of duty un der such trials as these and return to his home, there to comfort, pro tect and provide for his loved ones? The Confederate soldier was hon est in his convictions and nothing short of death itself could keep him from the field of battle. In a con ference between the Confederate States and the United States of America held at Hampton Roads in which Lincoln and Grant and Stan ton were present, representing the United States, and Judga Robert Ould and one or more gentlemen re presented the Confederate States, Judge Ould opened the conference with Mr. Lincoln by representing to him the difficulty the South had with supplying the prisons with food and medicine and then tendered to the United States authorities the whole two hundred seventy thous and Federal prisoners in the South for the return of two hundred twenty-two thousand of their own in prison at the North. Mr. Lincoln appearedpleased with the proposi tion and was favorably inclined to accept but was met by a poremptory and flat refusal from General Grant. "General Grant," said Mr. Lincoln, "the offer seems reasonable. but let's hear your objections." "Mr. President," he replied, "If we get back these two hundred seventy thousand men not a single one of them will return to the army, but if vou return the two hundred twenty thousand Southerners every one cr them will go back to their army and the war will have to be fought over again." What a wonderful tribute to the ittcn dier patri perseverance, to the determination to the-vafor of the Southern Sol what a sad commentary on the patri Northerner, what the causes uated him in hU fkht! Not only was the Confederate private a soldier of cou t-age, of oi ae terminal l n, but he was a soldier of intelligence. Hear the toxsin of war sound its first appeal to arms, and see the schools, the colleges and the univer sities of the South depleted of it?, student bodies and its facuUies as well! See the book closed in the sehoul room; see the brief interrupt ed in the court room; see the sermon unfinished in the church; ar.d to gether the teacher, the lawyer, and the preacher shoulder their mu-kets and take their places side by side, privates in the ranks of the most in telligent army of superior fighters the world has ever seen.
