T will hut say jroud hyo, And yet ^me|>tra:i?ri* "forebodings rise, Kach smile is Miile i in a sigh, A heavy burden on m?* I it's. Von, too, within your inmost heart. Divine a shadow lurking nigh : But sinee we now at last. must part. Say not farewell, but just good-bye! I even thouplit to smile nl this. That you mlghl call me brave and strong; I But- life* will find so much to miss And joyless moments wear so long! Haply an undrawn curtain veiss The fateful future irotn each eye; But true faith never (lags nor fails, And so well hope and say good-oye. t But. now ouch instant only brines i My helpless feet more near the brink; I tremble like a wretch who clings To siraws when destined soon tosink. Oh^hftve you counted well the days \V hich ere we meet, must lusr or tly ? '{ >i.V soul with you?my body stays Alone, when we have said good-bye. fclow shall I wait until you come. As weary women wait and weep? Ears deaf and lips to others dumb, i To send you kisses when I sleep. And if, 0I1, if we never meet. My love, forget, me not, and I, My soid slrdl journey with you sweet, And now indeed, indeed good-bye. LIFE IN THE OLD IAN YET.! , THE SPIRITED SFEEUli Of nut. .uavio ai MONTGOMERY. Reviving Recollections of the Times' that Tried Men's Souls?An Irresistible I>efence of the I.oj;lc of, Secession?A Tribute to Alabama's ] Heroism?Parting A<!vice ? Hnvins: been True to the Confederacy, be True to the Reconstructed Union. Montgomery, April 2D. ? The Capitol grounds at 11 o'clock to-day presented an animated scene. The whole hill-top and premises were covered with people gathered to witness the laying of the corner-stene of the Confederate monument, or,as some expressed it. "the official burial of the confederacy." The skies above were cloudless and pleasant breezes wafted the cool air of the hills to the i city. The foundation of the monument was] ready, Dresenting a surface of thirty-five feet , i square." Near at hand stood the corner stone on which in raised letters was the inscription, j "Corner-stone laid, by Ex-President Jefferson Davis, April 29, ls?-:G.'' Opposite this was <x large platform for the speakers. The procession formed before the Exchange < Ttdtel. Mr. Davis, his daughter, Ex-Governor 1 ^Va?& and the Hon. H. C. Tompkins, chair-1 -.< *iw> orpon?rrimr?ntc ! T1UIU Ul UiCVlluiiiiirnvk "in a carriage drawn by four white horses, each led by a negro in livery. Tiie npxujarriase contained General and Mrs. Gordon, his "daughter and Mrs. clement . Clay, and was snrroundeu by the survivors of the 6th Alabama aud other Confederate veterans. I The proees?ion was preceded by a cavalry! and artiler.v escort, and \Vas further made up1 of other local military, uniformed Knights of I Pythias, Grand Commanders of Knights j "Templar and Masonic bodies from different! 5jnrt? of the State. I The demonstrations alone the routel were ns enthusiastic as thny were yesyesterday. The Ex-President was, as is i usual whenever people eaten a sight of him, cheered enthusiastically. He took his j seat with th<> committee of the Memorial Association behind him, Mrs. Gordon and Miss-1 rs Davis and Gordon on his left, and Gen.! Gordon on his right. Ex-Governor Watts, the officers of the <>th Alabama and others' wrrcre on the platform. The 6th regiment was j yeresent also, as were the trustees of the Sol diers' Monument Association, Col. \V. L.' Brags?. Mayor ueese. uun. \\. ? . .\ner., *.<u. Win. K. .Tones, Col. \V. W. Screws and Gov-! ernor O'Neal. Before the services becan Col. Bruce: pre-| seated Mr. Davis with an elegant basket of flowers trorn Major Boling Hall, who lives near this city. Major Hall is a descendent ofj <}eorgia's Lyman Hall. Ho was a noted opponent to secession, but had eight, sons in the war. seven of whom gave their lives to the1 Confederacy, and the eighth carries lead in "him as evidence of his devotion. , A strikinsr picture was witnessed when -some old soldier brought forward the muster roll of the 6th Alabama and the two ladies,: Misses Gordon and Davis, examined it with , his assistance. Ex-Governor Watts, the presiding officer ofi the occasion, opened the exercises with reference to the importance of calling down the benediction of Heaven upon the occasion and requested the Rev. Mr. Andrew, pastor of the M. E. Church, to pray. Ilis prayer was earnest and simple. Ex-Governor Watt's then spoke and wasjToliowed by Mr. Davis. The scene sis Mr. mvis nro>e ana grr.xpea 1 the hand of his Rid attorney general was very ' affecting. It v/as some moments before he could proceed. a? cheers were again and again repented. Wheu there was sufficient quiet Mr. Davis said : It is deeply gratifying to me to'be presented to you by one on whom I leaned for advice] when advice was wanted, whose sterling! -qualities always made me sure that the judgment he was drawing was from the bottom of his heart. When you called him away, the j place was missing which lie once tilled, and I t have always desired to lav my hand npon | him again, f Applause.] Thus it v/as when we met the other night, after years ofsepa-j ritlon, some people in the room sravc a sar-j -donic smile to see two old weather-beaten men embrace. But our hearts wore young, though our heads were old. Associated herewith so many memories, thrilling and tender, I have , felt that it were dangerous for me to attempt ito speak to vou as my heart would prompt j *me. Not that I am always treasuring up bit-, 'terness against anyone, but I am overflowing with love and admiration for our beloved i people. fLong applause.] To avoid, there j fore, anything which might be prompted by , the fatness of my heart, f >r I believed I am case-hardened in that condition of non-eiti-zenship, which leaves me very little to fear, (applause,] hut lor the purpose of guarding others, rather than myself, I have prepared some notes that I might read, which "would not contain anything constructive or, hurtful. [Voices: "Go on; say what you t Sleaie: you are in the house of your friends."] i [y friends, partners in joy and in sorrow, hi; trials and suffering, 1 have come to join you j VSn the performance of a sacrel task, to lav; She foundation of a monument at the cradle ?>f the Confederate (jovernment which shall i commemorate the pallant sons of Alabama; who died for their country, who gave their j lives a free-will offering in defence of the rights which their sires won In the war of the i Revolution, and the State sovereignity, free- j dom and independence, which was left as an i Inheritance to their posterity forever. These! 8*1 ghts the compact o( union was formed not' to-destroy. but the better to preserve and per-! Tjftiiate. Who so denies this cannot have at-; tent4v<*1y read the articles of confederation or : the Constitution of the United States. The j latter was formed ano uesigncu ine oeucr 10 effect the purpose of the first. It Is not my purpose t.-> dwell upon tlie' events of the war. They wore In id before! you yesterday by the great soldier In so able a manner as to require no supplement from me They were laid before you by one who, i like vKneas. could say, uCuncta quorum vk/i | etmagnn. prrrx /?t." Gen. John B. Gordon j was a soldier, who, when oar times seemed) darkest at T'etersburs, was sent for by his chieftain, Lee. as Ihe best man to lead a -charge to repel the besieging army, to make a sortie and attack in flank and reverse, to double up Grant's army. an2 if I may say so in his presence here, he failed, but his failure was due to the failure of his guides to carry: him where he proposed to go. Again, that man and gallant soldier was the one person whom Lee called at Appomattox when hej wanted to know whether it were possible to! hreak the line that obstructed bis retreat to! rw.irds the mountains of Virginia. He an-| swered that it was impossible; that after four years of hard fighting his division was worn; Vlovvn to a fragment. It being then imnossi-; v'o1e to break the line that obstructed his, rjnareh todhe mountains, I,ce. like Washing-: v,on. without knowing, perhaps, that Washington ever used the expression, said that if liiecould reaeh the mountains of Viralnia he <*ould continue the war for twenty yeats. Hut! . when he found that theline which obstructed 1 'his retreat.could,not be broken, he said there was nothing to do but surrender. He it re ? .1?- tliot T /in u'oc n/*?t n r>i?in ' roemuvrvu. uviTv>i i, ... .sxvho contemplated surrender so Ions as lie iiad power to fight or retreat, and when he .came to the last, moment of surrender, he jtiiifd to Gen. Grant: '"I 'have e?.me to tre;it with you tortiie purpose of surrender. J5ut Gen. Grant, understand I will surrender nothing that teflects upon the honor of my ?rmy." Grant. like a man, said that he I wan'tcl nothing that would have that effect, and that Lee might draw up the papers himself. It is not my purpose to either discuss polit-1 icnl question* on which my views have been j heard m:d expressed, or to rexiew the past, except in vindication of the character and conduct of those to whom it is proposed to do honor on this occasion. That we may not he misunderstood by such as are not wilfully i blind, it may be proper to state in the fore-' ground that, we have no desire to feed the I tires of sectional hate, while we do not seek I to avoid what, responsibility may be attached j to belief in the righteousness of our c:iuse I jind the virtue of those wt?o risked their| lives to defend it. [Long applause and j x-hferp | TJevenge is not the sentiment of a chivnl-i 3*>.'is t>eople, and the apothegm that forgive 1 jppts js mo:e c?Ky to the injurwi tban toUhose afST >*9$' i who inflict an injury, has never hnd a morej powerful iliustraiion tnan in ilie present, sit-iI- 1 tiute oi the two sections towards one another. I'oMey, i:i thoalxence of magnanimity, would have indicated that in a restored union of the 11 Stales there should have been a full re<U>ra- < tion of equality, privileges and benetlts as they i had pre-existed. Although this has not heen ! the case, yet you have faithfully kept yoiiri' resume;! obligations as citizens, and in your! impoverishment have borne equal burdens1 without.equal benefits. 1 urn proud 01 you, my eounyirinen, for this additional proof ol'i your lidciity, and pray !><>?( to give you gracej i<? sutler atui bo strung. When your children's t filialrc-n shall ask what means this monument, there will l?o an enduring answer. It commemorates the deeds of Alabama's sons' who died that you and .voiir deseeiidants | should tie what your fathers in the war of in- i deuendenee lelt you. Asabama asserted then right proclaimed in the Declaration of Inde- i prudence as belonging to every people. She lound that the compact of union had been broken on outside and was therefore antiull-l oil; that the (Joverniuent of the United , .States did not answer the ends for which it!] was instituted, and with others of like mind j proceeded to lorm anew confederal ion. organ-! i/.ing its powers, in the language of the Declaration of independence, 111 such form as[ seemed to them most likely to oll'eCt their | safely and happiness. This was not a revolu-j! tion, because the State Government, having": charge of all domestic affairs, both of person ami property, remained unchanged. To call! it revolution is a gross Socialism. [Applause.] j i As sovereigns never repei, and as only sovereigns can lorm a national lean lie, if the States had not been sovereigns there could Lot have 1 been a compact of union. [Applause.] That theSouth did not anticipate, much less desire i war, is shown by the absence of preparation J for it, as well as by the etforts made to secure i peaceful separation. The successful party al-jj ways holds the defeated responsible for war, j! but when passion shall have subsided and ' reason shall have resumed her dominion, it!, must be decided that the General Govern- j ment hud no constit utional power to coerce a J Stale, and that a State had the right to repel invasion. It was a national and constitution-, i ul right. [Applause. | From the early part of l tlie century there had been prophecies and threats of dissolution of the Union. These beiiiin at tlie North on the question of preserving the balaticc of power, and culminated during t lie war of 1812, on the decline of! their trade, though the war wawd for the pro-1 teetion of sailors' rights. In the course ofi; years the balance of power drifted to the North, and that power was such that the I; South, despairing of the peaceful enjoyment I of their constitutional rights in the 1,'nion, decided to withdraw from it. This without injury to their late associates. These denied the right to withdraw, and the North made ready for war. The distant mutterJngs of the storm were readily understood by the people of Alabama. Oray-haired sires and beardless l.oys, all unprepared as they were, went foithtomeet tiie storm ere it burst upon their homes and their altars. It required no Demosthenes to arouse them to the duty of resisting invaders, no Patrick Henry to pre-1 pare them for the alternative of liberty or : death. It was the people, not the leaders, who resolved and acted. One sentiment inspired all classes. Yet I believe there were very few win did not regret the necessity which left them no alternative between fighting for their State or against it. Mothers, wives and daughter?, choking back their sobs, cheered them on the oath of honor and duty. , With Tearless tread these patriots, untrained j to war, advanced on many battlefields to look death iii the lace. Though Alabama, like Niobe, must mourn her children in devth, yet! is her woe tempered by the glorious halo; which surrounus their memory. For more than a century alter his death, it is said, Phil-i i}> Devalogne's name was borne on the roll oi l the grenadiers to whom he belonged, and when his name was called it was answered from the ranks: Mort.sur Ic champ d' Hon near ! Long?very long?would be the list which would contain the names of Alabama's sons whose valor and fidelity would justify the same response. To name a few would be unjust to the many. They are all therefore lefi where they securely repose in the hearts of a grateful people. 'J ids monument will rest upon the land for which they died and point upward to the Father who knows the motives as well as the deeds of his childicn, and to the last resting in '? land whore justice may be rendered wnicli may have been denied them here. In conclusion permit mo to say that, though t:ic memory of our glorious past must ever oe dear to us, fluty points to the present and future. Alabama having resumed her ptyee in the Union, be it yours to fulllil all the obligations devolving upon all good citizens seeking to restore tee General Government to its pristine purity, and as best you may to promote the welfare and happiness of your common country. [Long applause.] Citizens oJ' Alabama and ladies (facing the ladies on the stand) i'or to whatever side you may belong it is your sex that has been true always in waraud desolation, we hear of the Spartan mothers, but tell me whoie in all the history of nations was ever such a spectacle seen as was witnessed in the valley of tlic Shenandoah? How tin? tide of war ebbed and llowed ! Sometimes Confederates retreated and sometimes they pursued. Those pco- ' pie wiio claimed to lie our brethren had burn-1, cd everything except.^lencos. l?,x-Governor Walts interrupt]na : "And they would have hurned tiiein had they not been stone." Mr. Davis turned and, sndlingly, continued: And why do >ou suppo>e they did not burn fences, because they were stone? [Loud applause.] and'yet there never was a time when a Con federate body of tmups marched down i that valiey that the ladies did not banc out ( little < 'on federate Hags fro in their windows, and give bread to hungry soldiers. [Trenien- . dons applause.) I have promised Shat I1 would not speak extemporaneously, and I! shall not, do it. God bless you. one and all. I | ] love you all from the bottom of my heart, and give you thanks now for your kindness. jTremcndous long continued applause and cheers. | Governor Vv'atts then turned over the rest of the proceedings to the Grand Lodge or Masons, who were to lay the corner-mono according t.o the Misonie rules. The beautiful i ritual was literally warned out by Grand i Master J. <t. IIarri<, assisted by other grand officers and Masons. A great many things' were dej osited in the vault. The llrst was J put in by Miss Davis. It was the Cotifeder- j' ale buttle flair of Gen. \V. \V. Allen's com-j tnandvused daring the whole war. >1 r. Da-ivis plaeeu in it. some of the articles, as did various other prominent gentlemen and ladles. . The stone was lowered into its place and the proceedings declared at an end. The crowd began to disperse, and after a reception in the Kxc-eutivp Chamber l>y Mr. Da- , vis, limited to veterans who were in line, the , procession returned to the Exchange whence it started and the ceremonies were over. The crowd was not so large as yesterday, Rtill if rati isn in to thousands. T<i-d tv was Memorial Day, when the graves of tin* Con-1 led era le dead arc decorated witli flowers, |j ha ving been postponed from Monday on ae-l count of the heavy rain. There was the usual ceremony of oration, poem and planting of flowers, the only feature different from other occasions being the presence of Mr. Davis, (Jen.
