%' Jadre Wm. T. Grpj'n Nprerh, We publish In another part of this paper the speech of Judge William T. Uary at the unvelliDg of the monument to "Our Confederate Soldiers" at Greenwood. We do not assume to criticise ho able a speech, nor do we presume to know more of the proprieties than does the distinguished Georgian, who Is au honored native of the county and state where the monument was built, but It may be.permissible in us to suggest that we would have been glad if he had pitohed his speech on different lines. Instead of a tirade against the north, and Instead of a restatement of the causes which led to tbe war, it seems to us, if the distinguished orator had spoken more of the valor oi iDoae wno iook up arms auu oravou uau* ger, hardship and death for their country the aot woa|d have met a more grateful response from those who had assembled to dedicate this beautiful moaumeat to "Our Confederate Soldiers." From the Inscription we presume that It was Intended chiefly to commemorate tbe patriotism of those who went from that particular locality. Then, why not refer to some of the notable lnoldents of the war, rather than to enlarge on the political errors that brought on the > , conflict? Was the Confederate soldier's glorious bravery less notable and less] hlstorlo than tbe disturbing events which preceded the war ? Did none of the brave Confederates take part in any of the great battles that made Confederate valor hlstorlo ? Did the valient men In whose memory this monument was ballt take no part in the battles.of Manassas, Chanoellorsvllle, WilderDess, Spottsylvanla, Sbarpeburg and Cblckamauga? If so, no bint of that fact Is given at the unveiling of this monument. A tribute to the the valor and the glory of the Confederate soldier would b?ve been more appropriate on this occasion than any hamlllatlng reference to ibt wrongs which we^suffered In Reconstruction Is It not true' that the non-oommlssloned offloer, C. A. C. Waller, acted.with such con aplououa|bravery at the Mine Explosion ae to make bis valorouB oonduct historic and tc render bis name a synonym of all that a sol dler holds dear ? Did not the whole course of A. G. Rice la thA var hAnnmA nralRPwnrfhv from nvfirv standpoint ? Did not W. H. Bailey, as signal officer, keep tbe (treat army of Confederates informed a* to tbe situation during tbe battle of Chlcka* manga? And did be not, with others, guide tbe oontending host to Snodgrass Hill ? Were not Thos. F. Riley, and his twc brothers at Cbanoellorsvllle? Did the brothers not fall, and was not Thos. F. Riley wounded there? Thos. R. Puckett, carried the flag at Cban oellorsvllle, and vben his flag staff was snoi In two, did he not raise the flag, after he wan wounded and had fallen to bis knees? J. L.White distinguished himself at Chicks mauga, and for bis participation in tbai flght R. F. MoCaslan was made one of three [, commissioners from this State to locate the battlefield. J. A. Crawford was at Chlokamauga and i did bis duty well. For an (all round soldier, no man Btood blgber than Samuel Hodges. Joel W. Hies | held one of the most try Id j positions that was ever assigned to a private soldier. Thomas L. Moore was a soldier of the trnesi type. W. W. Purdy was always at the post o duty. Dr. J. C. MaxwellatiSharpsburg, a lieutenant la the 2nd S. C. V. lmmortalleed himself. Nat. Douglass, as a sharpshooter on the out posts, was notably brave and gallant. J. Mac. Mosely was always in lioe and faced danger as only the brave can do. Mllledge B. Lipscomb was at the front, and did his duty as a patriot and as a soldier. Bat why mentioa'otbers? That monument was not lnteaded to deolare the personal glory of auy particular soldier, but It was Intended to record our love for the organized alor of all those who took up arms lor Southern rights. It was ballt to perpetuate In story and In history the fime and the alor of those who met and fought the equally brave and the equally patrlotlo armies of tht North. It was ballt, neither to commemor ate glorious victories nor to perpetuate legends of honorable defeat, but it was ereot ed to the immortal and glorious bravery of IUV/DO TT UU WIUpWOU ,?0 piVUU QU Oft LU/ BO ever fought for any oountry. The oonduot of -the men to whom thin monument was dedicated furnished suffl clentdata for the nnvelling speech. Id view of the fatfie and the glory of the Confadarata soldier, and In the presence of thoae who survived the most sublime effort In human history, was there either necessity or Justification for going off after old John Brown, who attempted lnsnr rectlon In Virginia, and who promptly met . the fata which that misguided fanatic so rlohly deserved? Judge Gary says "the war was not waged for slavery." If Judge Gary will refer to the proceeding* of the South Carolina State Convention be will find a "declaration of the causes which Justify the secession of South Carolina from the federal nnlon," which was adopted by a vote of 134 to 30. There was nothing else bat slavery in that "declaration," and there ils now no good in Irving to deny that slavery was the cause, aoiFthe only oause of the war. But the discos, fllonofthat subject la foreign to the matter i ,n band atGreenwood. Ifjadge Gary will refer to the minutes of t the State Convention of Georgia, he will find interesting Information as to the cause of the war?African slavery. Let the Judge read Alexander Stephens speech In that Convention. and then, if be can, deny that slavery was the sole oause of the war. Inxtead of saying "no Dlush of shame will ever come to any patriot because he nobly , followed the Immortal Lee," he might have Bald : "It should be the greatest pride of every patriot, mat ne nooiy loiiowea me immoria Lee." In speaking aa we do, we only mean to ezpreea onr regret that the distinguished speaker did not choose a different line or thought. m m m New Bank.

' a< _ I i THE CONFEDERATE DEAD. ? c Speech of Jmlice WUIium T. (Jury ait 1 the Unvellinir of the Greenwood r Monument. r (News & Courier.) . j CenturleR ago the God lmplanted love of i liberty caused the noble band of patriots to I resist oppression and to wrest from King ? John, hi Runnvmede. the Magna, or lmuior- 1 tal bill of rights of llberty-loviug men. i The same spirit actuated our forefathers 1 during the Revoiulionary war and caused i them to reHlst lyrauuy and to found for ( themselves a Government, the cornetstone of \ which Is liberty. I The same love of llberly and resistance to oppression caused the confederate soldiers * to assemble at Manassas to oppose the vlo- t latlon of our rights and the Invasion of the 1 sacredness of our homes. The first shot fired I In the Confederate war at Fort Sumter was 1 but the echo of Hunnymede and of Hunker c Hill, and it was tired In self-delence. i The historian, Hallam. has thus well stated 1 the law: "The aggressor In a war (that Is, he who begins it,) is not the first who used force, but the first who renders force necessary." Our rights were violated and our constitutional guarantees were disregarded by those who, with puritanical tflrontery, admitted the existence of the constitutional guarantees, but claimed to be guided by a "higher law." Acts of Congress, the constitutionality of which had b*-n sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, which were invented to protect our titles in property, which our fathers had purctiased Irom tnese "high- < er law" puritans, were set at naught and disregarded by fourteen of the sixteen free < States. v Insurrection was Incited and our peac-ful homes were invaded. Murder was committed by a representative of a fanatical band and \ when, after a trial, under due process of law, < the leader expiated the crime upon a felon's gallows lu Virginia, at tbe .North the ocean f ion was regarded hr sacred. Bells were tolled, 1 cannon were fired; churches were draped in mourning; prayers were ottered; sermons , were preached, the occasion was ooserved as If for a dead saint, and bis memory was litly I 1 made the battle cry for the army which Invaded our homes. I , Compromises were broken by the North; j conciliation was spurned and eveu a peaceful separation was denied to us. It was not until every honorable means to , secure redrees for ber wrongs had been exhausted that tbe South threw ott of tbe yoke of tbe oppressor and sought ttie blessings of I constitutional liberty in the Confederate States of America. Every effort made by us to prevent the war was contemptoucly re Jecied; lhe rights guaranteed by the Constl- 1 i tutlon were denied to us and we were not permitted to go out of the Union in peace, i We were pursued by a sectional hate, born of fanaticism, which was guided by no standard I i of right and controlled by no law. Our con, dltlou was such that freemen could not to!- 1 erate It and it was constantly growing worse. I Brave men could no longer bear it and the i South, as one man, threw off tbe yoke of the < , oppressor and struck for our liberty and our I homes, God and our native land. The Confederate war was waged, not lor { . nmhitioD. not for dory, not for conuuest. * not for power ami not slavery. It was waged In self-defence and for our > homes and (or constitutional liberty. TbeSoutb was not guided by Impulse, but the war was fought for principle lu the discharge of a duty, which we owed not only to ourselves, but to the God who Implanted the love of liberty In our hearts. No sacrifice made in behalf of It, however great, was ever 1 made In vain. Xbat. principle was right then i and It Is riiiht today. It Is immortal and will never die. Unprepared for war, without the necessary resources or the opportunity to secure them, t without a single friend amongst the natlous , of the earth, and without a government, in response to the demand of patriotism and ot i true manhood the Confederate army sprang into existence. i Its soldiers bore, without a murmur, the hardships and sufferings, the privations and sacrifices such as no army has ever underI gone. No nation ever put a larger portion of its population Into a war, and no army ever fought more bravely. The number of wounds ? E received by Confederate soldiers was greater > iban the number of men enlisted Id (but , army. By their acts of patriotism, heroism, chivalry and bravery they beat back the IdI vaders from our homes uotll the army, do- J pleted by winning victories, outnumbered . and surrounded, Submitted to the lueviiable. t but not until it had forced from the world lis udwilling admiration. . Our cause was Jast and it still lives. 1 No blush of shame will ever come to any ' patriot because be nobly followed tbe Immor- 1 tal Lee. His character was sublime and . pure, and bis cause and the banner of his army was as spotless as his own character. Comrades: You, and each of you, mr\y I sincerely thank God that you were worthy of tbe cause and of tbe Doble Confederate t army, and our people may thank Gad that you live amoog them. Tbe world thought that tbe zenith of glory B was reached by tbe Confederate soldier in . war, but he was oven grander in peace. He 1 returned to the desolated spot which had > once been bis happy home and, without a , government, without any civil power without money, without friends and without a * country, by the grandeur of his glory and J the splendor or bis manhood he cballeoged , tbe admiration of tbe armed invaders of his home, overawed tbe carpet-bagger, redeemed his State and lorced the enemies of constitutional liberty to recognize the principle for ' which be fought. Thfl r!nnferiern.t.e States of America was ' Bhort-llved, but, like a brilliant meteor, It 1 took Its place In tbe firmament of nations and illuminated tbe world with tbe light of liberty. Weknowtbat Its Influence Is now felt and that It will continue to perpetuate tbe cause of human liberty so long as Au11o < Saxon civilization survives. Who may say ( that Its Influence will be thus confined ? , Nations and communities and generation!), j like Individuals, have missions. We know . that the mission of the Jew was to reveal ? holiness to tbe world. Tbe Greek reminded , the world of eternal beauty. Tbe Roman Impressed upon the minds of mankind tbe ideas of law, government and order. Who can now declare what was the mission of tbe Confederate States of America? We know that God works in a mysterious { way, His wonders to perform. We know that no nation ever rose more pure and fair, ( and none was ever more free from crime. We know that patriotism and heroism and . bravery were never fully illustrated until i tbe Confederate soldier made tbe name of < Robert E. Lee Immortal. We know that Christian civilization has 8uccesslully penetrated bhe Jungles of Africa, and the descendants of many of tbe savages Who were transported to the South have been taught to koow God. We know tbat tbe highest type of Anglo-Saxon manhood and or \nglo-Saxon civilization may be found In 1 'the States of tbe South. We know that mlgbt rtoar not make rleht. but Its lurlsdlction Is limited to tbe efleot of strategy and tbe powers of numbers. Are we not Justified Id , bellevlDg tbat It Is the destiny of Christian ? olvlllzatlon to proclaim liberty to tbe world, reveal tbe religion of love, and lnRplre Id mankind respect for the laws of God ? Are we not Justified In believing that our people are chosen instruments in the hands of an all-wise Providence? , Are we not Justified in believing tbat tbe 1 blood of our saintly dead was poured out as ^ a libation upon tbe altar of liberty, and tbat t tbe Confederate flag was furled beoause lis success could not be achieved- by human 8 eflort, for the reason that It was not In bar- I mony with the mission of our people, aod tbe / decrees of an all wise and over-rullne God ? ^ Ladies of tbe Memorial Association, I am 0 grateful for tbe distinguished honor of ap- v pearlng as yoor representative upon tbi? most 'sacred occasion.
