Wednesday, May 21. : : : 1890 It would better become the dignity of Congress to proceed with more decorum in the transaction of business.

The government gets about onetenth of its revenue*; from the people who use woolen cloths. Exactly. A tax is levied upon the consumer, hence the woolen industry is crippled by taxing its raw material, the agricultural suiplus is increased by depriving our wool ?roweis oi u loieign iikwm'i. That is what the Republicans are doing. As illustrated by Wilson, a respresentative from West Virginia, in f Congress the other day: "The people of the Argentine Confederation, who are anxious to sell us wool, and who?e w?ol we will not take, and by refusing to take it have bo depressed its price in foreign markets that it is not profitable, as a pnnsennanre are now nlowinc ?r> i f their sheep pastures and arc going inio the production of wheat, thus coming into competition in another branch of industry with the already | distressed wheat growers of America." "The World believes in fair play for every on*- of nil th/ie$fT' so said the Charleston M'orhl, before the Ridge way and Anderson meetings. The same journal, which has protested in its editorial columns 10 be free from partisanship and indeed claims to move on such a high plane that other >' journals envy it, has said: "The readers ot the World of course know that ^ Caj't. Tillmfljtx speech will be fairly ^antf impartially reported in this paper." Nothing is said of the report of the speech in opposition to Cupt. Till traan. It is u Capt. Tillman's speech" with the I Fori J. Yes, the JForbl has kepi its word, at leabt so far, but have you, contemporary, moved on that "high plane" where "the true journalist must be as nearly as men can be beyond sordid gain?"' Did you stand on a "high plane" when jon gave all of .. . tnpAclipa n rrtfM'P oftrhlp of Yooman's and Earle't? ^ Grovku Cleveland, in reply to a letter from the secretary of an Alliance iu Pennsylvania, writes a very inter esting letter to fanners, and indeed it is of concern to every one. He expresses Lis gratification of the fact that the Alliance is so thoroughly organized and is lighting, in its organ^ i'/.ed capacity, the tn rift". Tt has ever been a matter of much perplexity to ' him that the fanners did not rise in ! one body, and, posessing the power to ; do so, stop the wholesale robberv of ; the system known as the protective j tariff. It is strange that our farmers ! should liave slept for so long a time j over an iniquitous tax which lias been ; sinking them deeper and deeper; and I we don't think we are ungarded in j our opinion when we say that if the j increase in the tariff is continued in ! the same ratio, which it has in the last i fifty years, that this government willj soon become bankrupt. It is time that \ the farmers were taking- hold of this i matter. Apropos it may be said that j Cleveland is the man te put at the head j of the movement right in the I'resi-; dential chair. Tiie Republicans have had the sway ! '^ - 41 I ox power ou iuny a iitin.-, un | short interval when Mr. Cleveland was President, and have ijot so habituated to dominate that they will pass laws without the least regard for the interest of the South. Each year this party lias become more and more sweeping and reckless in the robbery of the farmer. Congress is now considering the McKinlev tariff bill, and nearly every amendment offered by the Democrats for the purpose of lightening the heavy burden on the farmer is crushed down by the Republican majority. Under the tariff and the unscrupulous Republican majority the .surplus, which it Avas thought at the I end of President Cleveland's administration. would give the government j so much trouble, has rapidly passed j away having been squandered by the I party in power without the semblance | of good to the country at large. The Republican party will have many sins hanging over its head at the close of J j Mr. Harrison's administration, and if j the people's minds are not poisoned j by the shrewdness of the Republican i leaders, the party will be held ac-1 countable to them for these sins. Ciivc l's Something Solid. The Editor of the Central Populace \ proposes to sing Tillman into office. \ Tliis paper is published semi-monthly, and the editorial, the only editorial, in the last issue is a song which we presume is original and the production of the Editor. The following is a sample of "The Vocal Register of the HornyHanded:" The News and Courier damns us Or, the News ai.it Courier tiies, And <:an<i the News nnd Courier, We'll liit him 'tween the wves. Chorus? Cet on i.h arJ, fanners, etc, The Popnhtcr may be a brilliant little sheet, and doubt les> thinks the above is very s-mart. but is that the way we are going to conduct * this campaign of education.v as Mr. Till-] man calls it? How much knowledge j will the farmers?the people?acquire j by the song of the Populace? Come, j Populate, if you are going to float Mr.! Tillman into the Governors chair, do i not do so on what he professes to ..i.i ..*..1:4.,. nu.rt ? !?ciiuiiicmujii\. i 11c puwjuu ; want argument on the issue*, not 1 ephemeral songs which appeal to passing emotions. That little song of yours, with a few changes, Populare, would do pretty well to sing at a picnic or 011 an excursion to the State j fair, but it does not suit for an edi! torial on tlie situation. Oh, no. never. Silly Talk j We don't see tins n.-res.-itv of Sena- j I tor Hampton's comity home to run j again-1 Tillman r'.>r Governor. The | opponents of Tilituan liav?i magnified him.

We may add, however, that we don't believe there is any truth in the circulation of the rumor that Senator Hampton will leave the Senate tor the purpose of pitting himself against Ti... . i 1 XIUUUM. 1 JiV I lliliVi llui ^irwu Viu J ineucc by a Tillman paper, and it has, reportoriallv, made certain material corrections. We haven't tiie bombproof facts to sustain us, but viewing the whole matter with a sort of between-the-line-reading, it would seem that this little political sensation was inaugurated by his friends for the purpose of impiessing the people with the fact that Tillman, as a man, was a political factor with a deal of power, I with more magnitude than he really ! possesses. mm ? Coiisrewsional Censure. There is a certain quantity of deco- j rum which pertains to all deliberative \ bodies , which members are not permitted to violate. A remnant of this estate remains to the Cougress of the United States. For example, no mem ber will be allowed in debate to use j "unparliamentary language." Mr. Bay tie, of Pennsylvania, had j read a letter from one of bis constitu-' ents reflecting ?everelv upon Mr. j By num, of Indiana, who in reply as- j : siiled Mr. Bavne with warmth, de-! nouucibg him as "a liar and a per i jurer." This was too much for the Republicans, even with Reed in the chair, and a vote of censure was moved, ami,; after much wrangling, carried by a j strict party vole. So intense did the { feeling become that many Democratic members rushed in front of the Speakers stand to receive the ceusure with i jheir angry colleague. Mr. Bynum ! rpulicd with indignation to the Sneak er, "I receive this censure as a decora- j tion of honor from the Republican : party." It is impossible not to sympathise j j with Mr.Bymim, he wa- grossly in-! j suited mul he promply resulted it: but j i we regret that he had not chose such ; ! language as would have been above j j parliamentary ceusarr. It is possible ! for him to have done this. Chatham's j t reply co Walpolo, familiar to every ! t 1 school bov, is an example of polished but territic iuveciive. And hardly inferior to it, if at all, is Grattou's reply to Flood in the Irish parliament. Flood did not survive the attack politi- j cally. Lord Beaconsfield made his reputation in a terrific onslaught upon Sir Robert Peel upon the event of the repeal of the coi n laws. Sir Robert survived it but the judgment of the! hour was that he would not. So it is ! possble for Mr. Bynum to have flayed bis opponent alive, and jet have done so in "parliamentary language." ' HEXQItI <L J>.ir EXERCISES. As each year rolls away and joyous ?pri?g comes again making all nature alive with its gladness, aud the sweet singers of our sunny land pour forth melodious chorral*, or bringing out brilliant hue*, the gordy flowers that perfume the pun* air with their pleasant oder, man in the fullness of his' happiness drinks deep of the cup of J joy, and seems to forget the past, looks | forward with pleasant anticipations to the future, yet even amidst such stirring scenes and beautiful surroundings when all tilings call upon him to forget, there comes a solemn cessation in lii< gladness and memory sweeps back to those who fell in defense of home and liberty, and the whole community with one arcord as>emble to pa loving tribute to the memories of our gallant dead, who though dead live fresh in the hearts of the fair and the brave. ^ *"1- *"* a.> lui /**?.? i.imantitail fA ouuu a ?<jcuu as wic kjnvi ?v our town on Wednesday must have awakened sad leflection in the hearts of all who witnessed ihe loving care with which the Lftdies' Memorial Association attorned the graves of our soldiers. The ceremonies of the day were as iisii-d. At o 30 o'clock p. in. the Gordon Light Infantry, preceded by the Cornet Rand, marched down Liberty street into Congress and up t? the Court House, whc-re they came to -a, h<dt. Alter the military came a procession of \ ouiiggirlf dressed in whitr, Mt./? l-ict ..f ? :' 11\>. t'mv cni'tfiviuor v?lo. ran*. Alter t!ie procession had reached the Court Honse square they tiled in front of ihe speakers' stand, which had been erected immediately in front of tlit; building ami to the left of the gate. The stand wa* bcuutifully decorxted wi'.h wreaths of choice*! flowers. A large Confederate flay was gracefully draped across the top of the stand, while at each corner and in the center hung battle flags that had waved perhaps over some of those whose memory was now being commemorated. Oil each end and in front of the stand were huge and beautiful wreaths. In the center of the front of the stand and immediately beneath - A tJie railing wore two elegant wreatns one large the other small. The larger one was "Tn memory of the Gordon's Dead/' The smaller was a most exquisite piece of floral art. The wreath was made on a white saten background, upon the center of which was printed the following simple but touching inscription "Jefferson Davis at Iiest." The monument was placed a9 usual to the right of the gate leading into the Court J Louse yarcl and directly in front of this stand. Tt was covered from top to bottom with wreaths and other beautiful designs wrought iu flowers and evergreens. After the playing of ;i choice selection by the Cornet Band the ceremonies were opened with prayer by the Rev. R Herbert Jones, pastor of the Methodist Church, after which Mr. J. E. McDonald introduced Mr. G. W. Ragsdale, who read a beautiful and appropriate ode. Mr. R. II. Jennings, t-v A .< A.. /v^ t.

At the close of the oration the llev. Jno. T.

Defore the meeting finally adjourned the wreath presented by Mrs. G. A. White and dedicated to our great and no'olc chieftain was moved from the speakers stand and placed on the monument among those oi his comrades who have gone before him. It seemed as this simple act was meant to say, "We tell thy doom without a sigh, for thou art freedom's now and fame's." A few years ago and a long line of survivor? came bringing flowers for theii dead comrade's graves, but as each year is added to the past, shorter and shorter grows that line uutil now but a lew are left of those who upon many a bloody field carried victory upon their gleaming bayonets and made u?, for a while cherish the delusive hope that ''right inadc might." Mr. Jennings* Address. Mr. President and Ladies of the Fairfield Memorial Association: I must thauk you for the honor you have conferred in selecting me as your speaker on this occasion. I am sure I am unable to opine the reason of this choice, unless it is either that during these years agone you have exhausted -ill the material iu your reach, as the old cx-rebs are scarco now, or you found out in some way that it is next to imnossibie for me to refuse an effort at anything the good women ask me to do.

I concluded that as you gare me no hint as to a subject, Fd take the liberty of presenting to you a running sketch, a sort of penpicture of what I saw during the little unpleasantness in our natianal family. Mv first servfce was with tli3 Richland Guards, under C;ipt. Edwin Bookter (afterwards Col. Booklet- oi the 12th S. (J. Regiment). We were on Morris' Island during the bombardment of Fort Sumter in April, 1SG1, and were eager spectators of the effects of our shot auc! eheil both on i:$ exterior and interior. We saw the white flag run up by Coi. Anderson on :he loth, and joined in the huzzas that made the \ welkin ring on that memorable and joyous occaMon. 1 taw the effect of Sumter's artillery upon Stephens' iron battery on Gumming*' Point. This battery was strongly coated with rail- 1 road iron, and w*h constructed at such an angle that the shot would glance off : whenit struck, but several balls struck i with such direct torce a* i?? go nearly through. You recoiled the tamous "Dahlgren Batter*" that tired on the "Star of the West" was on this island; we were etatiO'ied just south of it, near Vinegar Hill. Let me here relate a little incident or two,illustrative of the ideas of war thai weie enter- 1 tained by our Soa'hern people at this fimp* (irp lpfit'nvtl hriier Oilf knapsacks were pa?ked by our wives, mothers and *i*ters, ami our wardrobes were limited only br the capacity of the knapsack.

Our company buarded the train at Columbia, if I recollect rightly, late in the afternoon of the 30th and next morniner about dav break or before. lauded in Charleston. Here began the tug of war.

Close up! i* the order, and we lean till it, as the Irishman would say. Up King street on the plank pavement with canteens rattling and arms at a carry to the monotonous command, hep! he.pl hep! till we reach the old American hotel near the bend when the word halt! rings out on the morning air with a sweetness we never Lnew was in it before. Foot sore, shoulder* seemingly dislocated, every limb and muscle quivering, weary, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, in a word "gone up." We had been promised breakfast at the hotel, and of course our appetite were wWetten with the prospect of beefsteak, fish, ham and eggs, fried chicken and the litvC. ilil-t^UIC UU1 'J|KU|J[U>llllIUCIIl anil chagrin, when for bi>cuit we were treated to hard tuck, which the uuiuitiated kuew not how to manage, for we had never seen any before, nor even heard of them, for meats we bad beef that no tooth of man could masticate, which if swallowed at all must be gulped down in wards like a i-nake would swallow a trog, for coffee we had slop, boiling hot and in a tin cup. This was our breakfast, and like the Jewish Passover, must be eaten with our "loin* air; and in haste" minus the 4'bitter herb.*." Breakfast ended, and our Mississippi Rifles exchanged for spanging new Entiehl-, with bright keen bayonets, the command is given, fall in Itichland ixuards! and the line ot inarch is again taken up and we proceed to the wharf where many a raw country boy gained his first sight of a ship, a steamer anl tht deep blue sea. We tile up the gangway into one of the harbor steamboat?, the "Planter" I think, vtnd soon the gong is struck, the mooring loosed, the gang plank hauled in, and the last connecting link that bound us to dear old terra firma is severed. The engine* begins to work, the wheels to revolve and our boat backs ?1Tfrom the wharf and atier a few convulsive turns atid plunges, she heads toward Fort Sumter As we pass under the rat ge of her guns, great anxiety is depicted on every countenance for Anderson with miip vcpII ehnt winlil liaon kiinl' us to the bottom. Thoughts of home and loved one3 far away crowd our minds. The painful silence is eventually broken by old John llabum abont three*fourths drank, calling out in his strong husky voi?e, trust to your fate boys I trust to your fate! The Fort passed we were soon landed on the island and our fears once more subsided. I would like to tell you of our stay on Morris Island, of the countless armies of fiddlers, that crawl sideways and disappear so suddenly on your approach, ot our learning to eat ovsiers and crabs and the like ot the. lonely tramp of the sentry upon the beech as he paced his post at night peering out over the dark waters todescry the approach of an enemy's boat, rvf ?n*riii()a nt' aanrf flipo that frurar you ail over and make you feel as if yon had been skinned alive aud salted, ot the lull moon, rising up seemingly from her watery grave and shedding a soft light over the dark waters with a weird grandeur, indescribable by tongue or pen. Of tbe flood tide in May, when the whole face ol the island was submerged with only here and there an elevated spot to be seen. Where our teuts stood the water was from knee to waist deep. Many other incidents both pleasant and otherwise connected with our stay on the Island could be i a _ i i . - r a. i a r .1? j _ reiaieu, uui i must nasieu. x uiu not re-enlist far the war iu this company, but came home in June and stayed a few months, helped to raise a company that weut out from old Fairfield with the following officers: A. P. Irby, captain; B. M. Whiteuer, 1st lieutenant; John S. Robinson, 2nd lieutenant, and R. S. Desportes, 3rd lieutenant. This company went out in the winter of 1861 and was attached to Lieutenant-Colonel George S. James' Battalion, known as the Third Battalion, composed of five companies from Laurens, one from Jlichland, under Capt. Dan B. Miller, and ours, designated Company G. The other field officers of the Battalion were Maj. W. G. Rice and Adjutant Harris. We were at lirst in Erans' Brigade, and encamped near White Point, south of Adams' Run ou Toogoedou Creek, near the sea coait Here we remained during the winter and early spring mouth*, drilling and doiog camp and picket duty. Here we enlisted for the war and reorganized with the following officers: B. M. Whifener, captain; J. Wash Gladnev, 1st lieutenant: James Shedd, 2nd lieutenant, and R. H. Jennings, 3rd lieutentant. In July, 18G2, .shortly after the seven days' fighting around Richmond, we went to Virginia with Gen. Drayton's Brigade, llemaiuing in and around Richmond only a few days, we moved to Gordonsville, whence we took up the line of march for Manassas Junction. On the way we had frequent skirmishes with the enemy, notably at Thoroughfare Gap on the 28th of August, where they were in strong force. By flank move?ents though t? UJKU ngiu *uu ion, no ttcjc ouun xu possession of the field with slight loss, and camped for the night, resting on our arms. The next day we reached the battle field of 3econd Mau&ssis and were actively engaged late in tho afternoon of the 30th. Oar Battalion suffered slightly in this engagement, the only casualty in our compauy being Russ Milling, liesh wound in the leg"; the enemy ware then retreating. Late in the afternoon of the lit of Septemternber, I think it was, our command reached Ox Hill, near Germantown, where Jackson had engaged the enemy and driven him back again with loss, and rested on our arms at night, soaking wet and cold from rain, withont V"' r fire. Here ended our pursuit, and in a few dara b^iran the lonjf. h >t, dry march of the Maryland CHtnpaign. Wading the I'otomac neir ]>c?sburg on the 5:h or 6th ?>f September, we marched to Frederick Ci v, Md., situated near the Monoi-??;v liiver. Here our command re*te<i ;i dm or two and some of the bovs pivtt y merrv on applejack or some other sort of jack. From Frederick we marched through Boonsboro to Ilagerstown, where we halted but a few days and then returned at double quick through Boonsboro to South Mountain Pass, where 011 the 14th of September, we met the enemy in strong force. Ilere Gen. Drayton showed his military skill, or rather the want of it, by driving us into a slaughter pen and abandoning us to our fate. Here his military career closed I reckon. I don't think I ever saw him afterwards. I suppose he became fundus officio. Our entire nil ffWrPfl bpftvilv. As fOl* the ? V battalion, it was completely surrounded, front, flank and rear, and but for the fact that our ranks had been previously thinned by disease and break downs,' there would not have been enough men left to make one company, seventeen answered to roll <" >11 next morning. Col. James was billed, Maj. Rice was wounded in the head and left on the field. but after dark crawled off, evaded the enemy and escaped. Of my own company Lieut. Sliedd and Sergt. David Martin were killed, Sergt. Mason wounded. George Brown wounded and died Jesse Gradick and L. II. Trapp struck. I was captured in the act of helping John Paul and W. H. Robinson oft' the field; they were both severely wounded, p.s was also Robert Hagood, and we with mauy other's were taken to Fort Deleware where we remained as nrisnners of war only about {wo weeks, ! when we were sent back to Richmond parolled, and I got home on a fifteen days furlough. We were exchanged shortly afterwards, and I rejoined my command at Culpepper C. H. now in Kershaw's Brigade in November. A few days afterward we took up our line of' inarch for Fredericksburg, where on December 13tli, occurred one of the hardest fought battles of the war. Our battalion having suffered so heavily at Boonsboro was measurably favored by Gen. Kershaw by being held in reserve behind Marye's Hill so that our loss was small. Other portions of the brigade suffered more heavily, but in comparison with the enemy in front of them it was light. The slaughter of Meagres Irish Brigade which undertook to charge our impregnable position was enormous. Acres of ground seemed litterally covered with the dead, who actually lay in heaps. After the battle Bumfides retreated across the ltappahanock and our army went into winter quarters in and around Fredericksburg, where we remained until the opening of the spring1 campaign iu April ?C:>. At Chancellorsville the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of May, and at Salem Church the afternoon of the 4th, we were engaged but with slight loss. Here Jiinmie Aiken, one of aiy company, and a first class forager, stopped and deliberately plundered the knapsack of a dead Yank while we were advancing upon the enemy underI fire. At Chancellorsville you recollect Geu. Jackson fell, shot bv his own men. He was perhaps the greatest strategist the world has ever produced. It was said of him by the Federals, that if Hooker had been on a forced march to the infernal regions, Jacknon would have flanked him and cut him oft'. After a brilliant victory by our army at Chancellorsville, and a week or two suent in recruiting and reviewing we started on the second Maryland and Pennsylvania campaign, about the first of June which culminated iu the disastrous defeat of our forces at Gettysburg on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Ontiiis march Lieut. Wash Gladnev died and was burned at Gaines Cross Roads, and Charlie Broom at Front Royal. Our Brigade lost heavily in this battle. The color bearer of our Battalion was among the killed.. Co. G. lost Lieut. Blair from a wound in the leg which disabled him for the balance of the war. Warren Turkett was also wounded in the arm. John Parnell was captured, and was not released I think till the close of the war. I was struck 011 the breast by a shrapnel shot, but not seriously hurt, my blanket and oil cloth protecting me. Our retreat from Pennsylvania was attended with great privation and suffering from hunger, and we were glad when our feet touched the soil of old Virginia again. Wo went in to camp on the line of the Ilapidan. Our Brigade at AVailes's tavern hoping that the campaign for 18G3 was ended, and indeed for the greater portion of Lee's army it was, but not so for Longstreet's corps. We were soon ordered to reinforce Bragg in North Georgia, and taking the train at Pe tersDurg we sec out on wnat piuvcu to be a long and hard fall and winter campaign. Time would fail me to tell of the incidents connected with our journer, for myself, I made almost the entire trip 011 top of a box car both by day and night. There are reasons for this, which aa old Iteb fully understands. Our progress was slow, between "Wilmington and Florence the bors would jump oil" the train, forage the country and meet it again at the next station. This was due to the dilapidated condition of the engine. We got to ltingold, Georgia, nn fho ovpuinor of the 19tli of Sentem ber, and on the 20 met the enemy on the bloody field of Chicamauga, where after stubborn resistance he was driven back with great slaughter. Our loss was heavy, our company lost one killed, "Wm Morgan, three by amputation, Russ Milling a leg-, Matthew McGrady and Billy Craig au arm, Sergt. Joel Ashford was severely wounded.in the side, Wm. Tinkler was wounded in the hand. I received a severe flesh wound in the left leg, for which, although I was not feeling for a furlough, after I got back out of danger I would not hare taken a million in Confederate money. On this wound I got a ninety days' furlough and came home after an absence of eleveu months. O'hera of our company were slightly wounded. As sre went into this fight onrs was . ~ ... n. u. tne BaUllion OI uirecuun. uur wiuibearer, not understanding fully the General's objeciir# point, Kershaw himself seized the flag and bearing it out in front of the Battallion was advancing on the enemy, who were now pouring upon us a rain ef leaden hail. Wm. Evans, from whom the flag had been taken, said: "General, please give me the flag, and just show me whero yeu want me to go." Gen. Kershaw, in his ce?l and deliberate style, pointing to a large green pine about two hundred yards in front, said: 4,'Do you see that pine?" Evans; "Yes." Kershaw: "Well, march directly toward it." I may add just here in all my experience in the war I knew no more level-headed, cool and deliberate officer lhan our own Kershaw; nor did I know one who seemed to have more consideration for the welfare ?' his men. Those of our command who were in the winter's campaign around Chattanooga and Knoiville and other portions of East Tennessee, and when I returned to the army at Rnssellvillo the following January I found Willie Ilopkius, Jasper Crossland and Andrew ilcConnell had all been killed or wounded and died; James Y. Robinson had lost an a"tn Sergt. Mason and perhaps others had been wounded. After the hardships. privations and losses of the fall and winter campaigns of Georgia and Eist Tennessee we were harried back to Virginia in the spring of 1864, and by a forced march of about ten tniles on the morning of the Gt'u ot May we reached the battle-field of the Wilder liess and hurriedly formed our line of battle across the plank road niuler the most trying1 amt confusing circumstance?. llill's Corps, tif.er having held the superior forces of the enemy in check the previous day, were driven back at early dawn and came living through our ranks us wo wore endeavoring to form our line. Nunc bui trained veterans could have withstood the shock,, but. it so happened that Kershaw's and Jenkins' Brigades struck the encmv ;:i ihis puinr, where he seemed :o be the sirongc-t, and as was their wont resisted the ou>l night, drove back his advancing columns with he ivy loss ami saved the day, but at fearful co>t. Here fell some of our most gallant officers ami bravest, men; amoii^ the former were (roll. Long street, severely wounded, ami uu?. Jenkin- killed by a volley from Mahone's men, who mistook the party for Federals. Col. Nance, of the 3rd. and Lieut. Col. Frank Gaillard, of the 2nd liegiments, were killed. I suppose their superiors, iu all the qualifications that go to make lirst-class oflicers, were hardly to he found in the Confederate army. (.'apt. I)oby, of Kershaw's sfnlT, and other worthy officers of higher or lower rank, whose names I cannot now recall, besides a host of non-commissioned officers and privates or the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8 h and 15th liegiments of our J5:*ig.-ido were among the killed. In cur own liule Battalion we lost, a number even before our line was formed. Company G lo*l Jimtnie Withers, a mo lei young man, a minnie ball crashed through his brain. Wm. O. Robinson lost an arm, and in him the Confederacy lost i want in ihis audience some who lost loved ones on this ensanguined field, and a few, but ah how few! who took part in that memorable fight. Our army movod forward that sauie evening, and three days later engaged the enemy again at Spottsvlvania, near tin; block house. Here the Battalion, now minced t>? a mere handful, sustained a ba\ouet charge, an event of which few >oidien> on either side ceuki b.?a*t, but s>;ms of our men were actually wounded, and one iu particular, \Vr. J. Tinkler, was thrust through the bodv, Dave Gladiicv. .Tesa ('armati and .J no. W Robin son (Grizzly) wounded. Lint for the prompt action of the Second liniment in repelling the muck there would perhaps have been none of the Battalion left to tell the tale. Tue terrible fight at Horse Snoe Demi, of which you've heard so much, to-?k place a few days afterward*. Our command was not engaged on this part of the field. It was ab.ui? this tim-i that Capt. Moultrie D.vi?lu. ot K~rehaw7s statt', venturing a iinle too tar, was captured. This event cast a gloom over the entire Brigade, tor he was as polite ana wmicd a* a ?auy ana great ly oeloved by officers ana men; his! bright, cheerful face was like a bene* diction. Grant, who was in command ot the Federal forces, kept moving in an arc ul' a circle by his leli flank, ever and anon trying t?? break through to Richmond. He made a desperate effort at Cold Harbor about tbe first of June, hurling column after c-. lumn of his hired hordes i^ain-t. our invincible citizen soldiery, but always with the same result, to be beaven back and slaughtered like so many wild beasts till worn out and despairing of ever reaching (lie Confederate capital <>n that line, Ii.j withdrew hi* force* and caosse-i to the soutii side of the James River um ;he IolIi and 14th of June. (I think it was at Cold Harbor that one of your own townsmen, Lieut. Tom McUants, of the 7ih Battalion, was Killed.) Thus did our noble Lee, with his little army of one-third the number of his antagonist, nt>t only beat him back, but it is tinted as an historical fact which I doiri ihink outenemies have ever denied, that Grant lost more men Jrom tlse wilderness lo th .James Iliver th ?n Lee had in his eniir.i army, i may be pardoned jast here for expressing my opinion of Grant a military chieftain. [ have always thought thai almost any man of common sense w ith very little military imining*, -vith the number of men he had at his command and the strongest government in the world ai his back, eould have done better, litre Je?s Gradick and Green Gibson were wounded. The 20tli Regiment joined our Brigade at Uold JLiarhor, fre.-h from the coast ot South Carolina numbering more men it was said than all the balance of the Brigade pat to^Kher. In this their iii>t fight their gallant Col. Keitt wa> killed. About this time Gcii. Kershaw was promoted to Major General. After Grant withdrew his forces from our front we moved down across the James and Appomattox Rivers to Petersburg, where we skirmished with them almost daily till late in July, when we recrossed to the North bide ot the James, on the pontoon bridge near Drewry's Bluff, and on the 28th (just two days before the mine explosion, generally called the "blow up,") was fought the battle of New Market Heights or Fussles mill, in which Lane's N. C. and Kershaw's and JIcGowan's S. 0. Brigades were engaged lighting Federal cavalry, dixmoiniich The engagement! was hot and our loss wa> considerable,! but the enemy were driven back and j part of his artillery captured. Here I enueu me imuiary career or yoiirnum-; ble speaker, and si ace that day I liave ! carried an empty sleeve. I need not stop to tell you of the weary days and nights I spent in the Jackson Hospital at Richmond during the long hot momh of August. Sufficient to <-a\\ that early in September the 3rd I think, I.reached home, after an absence again of about nine months. As soon as I was sufficiently recovered to be able to travel I made two trips to Richmond and Petersburg and brought home the mangled remains of three of my neighbor boys. Our Brigade was in the valley campaign with Gen. w ? .1? /.II i . u :n? Joariy in ine Jan. ai Dcn inucousi. Masou was wounded, and 011 the 19th of October, while gallantly leading the little reinna/it of the IJitallion in the battle of Cedar Creek our much loved and popular Captain, D. M. Whitner! was killed, and if buried at all, was buried by the enemy, as our forces 1 were driven back in confusion, here | Sergt. Mason was again wonuded. Ij don\ think they did much lighting: after this the war ended the following j spring. Thus closed the career of as true a little band of veterans, 1 think, as bore arras in the last cause. A few ; scores would number all that now remain ot the live or >ix hundred men , who went out with this command. j Most of these are of Laurens County, | a handful of Co. F. of Richland, ot which company my good friend George White was a member, and; possibly between twenty and twenty.; five of Co. G. of this county survive, J in a few more years all will have passed over and joined the great majority beyond the river. I mav have omitted the names of some of our company who were killed or wounded, l as I write entirely from memory, aftor the lapse of a quarter of a century. iNtiinuers aiea irom sickness 111 Hospitals and elsewhere, whose names aad faces are fresh in my memory to-day. There were the three Aike?s, big Hagh, little Hugh and Jimmie, Nathan Brown, two Brooms William and Charles, Warren Uamak, Leigbton Hawes, Wm. Hamilton, Bntler McConnell, Elisha Ragsdale, Billy Shedd, (Z+nrcrt* Tinkler. Frank Watt. Calvin . Rubb, John Nelson, Tom Davi?, Win. Johns, Jesse Scotr, and possibly some whose names I fail to recall. There are many other things I wolua like to speak of. especially of friendships formed in the army, some of these can only end when mind and memory fail." While there were innumerable hardships and privations connected with soldier-life, there were on the other hand pleasant episodes fr* o-i\-o ;i sliver li?in<r to the dark cloud, else the four years war could not hare been endured by sensitive natures. Some of these young men and boys may for aught I know, live to learn by experience what war is. lleaccn forbid it! Should it be so boys, or should it not be so. if you will take the Bible, the precious word of eternal life as your daily companion and guide, following its divine precepts, whether war comes or troubles cloud your pathway, '-'unto you will arise light in the darkness," and under trials and disappointments you shall find that sweet repose, which none but he that feels it knows. I care not under what circumstances you may be olaced, one-half hour's careful and sincere perusal of David's Psalms will cure the worst case of the blues. You'll fiud something in this wonderful book suited to your every conditiou and circumstance*. This of itself proves the divinity of its Author, and the man who is not beneiited by searching the scriptures, does'nt want to be. It is a never failing mine of eternal wealth, which he who searches as for hidden treasure will surely iind. And the great beauty of it is "that if you search you will find just what you need. I recollect one day, seated alone in old Virginia, quietly reading my pocket Bible, thought's like these weighing upon my mind (as sounds of martial music were floating 10 my ear from the neighboring hills, and the occasional boom of canon in the distance.) Oh when will this cruel war end! And shall I live to ever get home to loved ones again, amid peacs and plenty? As 1 read on in the Prophecy of Jeremiah, my eyes fell on these words; "Oh, my soul, the sound of the trumphet, the alarm of war! How long shall I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumphet?" On another occasion, contemplating the dangers of battle, and mv oft delivery, my attention was called to these expressive words of the Psalmist: <;Tliou hast covered my head in the aav 01 oattie. rassages liKe inese and others were like an inspiration, for I saw by them that other men in the ages gone, had passed through the same experiences that were now mine. You call this weakness? Perhaps it was, but it was the weakness of the man, who maketh the Lord his strength. It was, s? to speak, the very omnipotence of a realizing sense of dependency on divine help. I never knew a man "to throw away his Bible going into battle, but let me tell you, young man, they scattered their cards to the fcur wind? on the approach of danger, and men who in camp cursed and sneered at religion, were mute as mice under fire. And now dear women of my County allow me in conclusion to pay you this humble, but sincere tribute of mv heart, but for your influence upon the sterner sex. "our arms had never achieved the ; manv victories that nerched on our i banners. Many an arm was nerved to j deeds of valor, and many a heart j encouraged to the endurance of hard- j ships by your words of cheer and! your womanly examples of heroism. | You are called the weaker vessel, but j do you know, I believe you can either I lead or drive us whithersoever you I I wish.

LIU their life-blood,, but will you pardon me if I say, I would prefer to see your labor of lore expended upon tablets more enduring than granite and marble?
