f Confederates, who were the at acking army. The loss of thi Confederates is not known but th< nost reliable estimates place th< Jonfederate loss at a thousand mor< han the Federal loss. The sun it elf, as if wearied of the scene o! >lood and death, retired beyond th( restern slope, leaving a mantle ol arkness. On the blood-stained round, beside the mangled bodie* f comrades whose hearts had beei tilled-tired and weary soldiers slepl n the\torm-swept ground beneath he silent mortars and the slum eringcannon. On such imposed de truction, such inflicted death, suel loom, such utter darkness, the colc tars, and the Eye that never sleep; or slumbers, kept silent vigil. Tha ? nio-ht that the survivors o I [either army can ever forget. I Was there in all this glorious louthland a more dreadful scene 01 llood than that which was presented It Gaines' Mill? Than those whc fell on that fateful day did a greatei [umber of truer or braver men from my community ever fall in battle"i [wasthe heroic death.ofLeonidas md his three hundred Spartans in heir attempt to stem the Persian invasion, more to be admired than the ravery of our men at Gaines' Mill? The noble men who fell at Gaines Sill, were in no sense more brave 01 pore patriotic than were their comades who survived the storm of shot pd shell. The reader should run his eyes bwn the column of names of pa riots, all of whose names should e kept warm in the hearts oi rorthy Southerners. They deserve > be perpetuated in history. Due fest should remember* Gaines [ill ewa as the Greeks and the orld l*ve perpetuated the name o hermopylae. UE WEST MEN WHO FELL Al GAINES MILL. The list, bacau-se of the number ol ii> i iin, IS Jippitlllll^. JL lie icauui rnage on tnat day not only bears e highest testimony to the bravery id the courage of the dead, but it ves proof of the distinguished valof those who survived. Although the bodies of dead collides lay thick on the ground and though the storm of shot and shell id raged in all the mad fury oi ill, not a man of their number faired. Every man stood to the ene 7 with bared breast, and those noble diers who lost all, fell like men id died like princes. If it be true that because of his Jor the name of a French soldiei is called with the roll of the living r a hundred years after his death, d if it be true that Bob Toombs, Georgia, boasted|that he would, the close of the war, call the roll his slaves at Bunker Hill, and ii be true that every orator who has oken to an Abbeville County diences since the war has called ^ fhon half Hr\7Gn ni hc 11/11 ul ic?ci uiau nutt mvuvm v< r distinguished dead?who never Hard the roar of battle nor witHssed the sublimeconflictof warring jHsts?may we not with the utmosl Hopriety, once in fifty years, call IBs roll of our valorous neighbors Hd kinsmen who gave up theii Wes in battle, or in the camp sufHed untold hardships ?

The Nation and the State build nonumental piles in memory of ;heir distinguished dead. This, bemuse the names of those citizens who win glory in war or achieve greattiess in peace are the property of the Nation or the State. Governments build memorial columns of granite and carve statues in marble to gratify State pride, but we as humble citizens, without pomp and without the ability to do these great things, come together to give expressions of honor and affection for noble ancestors. WE BRING LOVE AND FLOWERS TO THE GRAVES OF OUR DEAD. While the Southern people can build no imposing triumphal arches, to their valorous soldiers, yet it is true that their aged wives, their lonely widows, and their beautiful daughters may decorate the graves and commemorate the patriotic deeds of the Southern soldier. The fragrance of their act in thus doing homage to valor can not but be pleasing in the sight of the angels, whose presence can only bless and defend. On Memorial Days our good women come with love in their hearts, with flowers in their hands, and with tears in their eyes, to pay tribute to their own beloved ana honored kinsmen. In spreading flowers on the graves of our dead, we should not forget in our prayers, the fallen warrior who sleeps in an unknown grave. His herioism is as deserving of recognition as that of him who sleeps beneath a monumental pile. The sweet odor of the flowers upon graves that are watered with woman's tears will rise to the sky and bear incense up to heaven.
