Great was the occasion of the unveiling of the Confederate monu ment here yesterday. The were from 2,500 to 3,000 people present from all quarters. There were old hattle-8carred Confederate veter ans, men who have grown up since the war, married women and tba prettiest collection of pretty giris that every assembled in any county. Your correspondent has seen crowds in New York, Charles ton, Atlanta and other cities and towns, but for pretty girls Edge field takes the lead. Great interest was shown in the proceedings and the speeches, which were ?ne, were listened to with patience and appreciation. The management was under the direction of the Ladies' Memorial assocition, of which Mrs. A. V. Evans is president. The ladies of the association deserve great credit for the Gmooth manner in which everything passed off. The stand was in the public square near the monument. It was tastefully decorated with red, white and blue-?streamers, ever greens and flowers. The Edgefield Hussars, under Capt. N. G. Evans, was present^ and added much to the occasion. The musio was furnished by the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute band. The following is the simple but expressive inscription on the manument: * ******.** * "Erected by the women of * * Edgefield, ? C., to the * * memory of their Confed- * * erate dead." * * ****** ** The procession formed near the Episcopal church and marched down to the stand at ll:30?? On reaching the stand twenty'^ung ladies surrounded the monument, while Miss Mary Evans. Miss Lucy Du ga s and Miss Helen Sheppard took their places near the monument. Captain N. G. Evans, who in troduced the speakers, came to the front of the stand and said in substance that this was a proud occasion, while in another sense it j was a sad one when wounds and j past bloody battles were recalled. ! The monument was a token of love and appreciation for our dead heroes, and not an occasion to stir up bad blood between the north and the south. He stated that the gentlemen, General M. C. Butler, ex-Governor John C. Sheppard and Hon. Jasper W. Talbeert, : who would address them, needed no introduction from him to an Edgefield audience, and that with out ceremony he would introduce . that illustrious citizen of Edge field, General M. C. Butler. When his name was announced there was much cheering. No attempt will be made to give the speeches in full; a mere synopsis will be given. General Butler said in part : "Ladies of the Edgefield Memorial Association : After years of patient toil and effort you have accomplished the object so near to your heants-the erecting of a monument on this historic public square to the soldiers of the Con. federacy from Edgefield, and we have met today to unveil it." At this point Miss Maiy Evans and Miss Lucy Dogas removed the veiling and Miss Helen Sheppard stepped forward and placed a wreath on the monument and other wreaths were placed at the base of the monument by other young ladies. Ganeral Butler then resumed his address. He said : "That the design selected, a plain granite shaft on a granite pedestal with its simple inscrip tion, was most appropriate. Its simplicity and durability ' -lustra tes, as it was intended to, the rug ged, unaffected courage and valor of Edgefield's Confedrate soldiers. They made no pretension to the artigoial show side pf soldiering, but for steady staying qualities, fortitude and endurance they had no superiors in any age of the world's history. 1 hie monument strikingly illustrates another thing-the deep, profound, uncon querable spirit and devotion of the women who planned and built it. D?laye, discouragements, dis appointments enough to haye filled other? with dismay &n< Impair have been overcome, ai i now witness and realize triumph and success.. It is i reflection, cause of profound row that Mrs. F. W. Pickens, first conceived the idea and ' ed so patiently and unswerv for this monument haB p f;om life and is not hei participate with you, her assoc in the noble work and rejoice us all in its completion. It silent, lasting tribute to her i ory as well as those she soag commemorate by its erection He tLen went on to say whi purposes of the monument and gave the reason why the iers of the, Confederacy wei war and lost their lives. Tnt Confedrate army never exec 600,000 men all told. Tha comparison they were poorly hastily equipped and eu pp while the armies of their ac saries numbeied two mil several hundred thousand amply and liberally supplied the necessary munitions of recruited from all parts of world ai_d from the south as .He was not digging up the with a view of reviving resentno now happily dying out but sir to invite attention to some torical facie which stranger after years will find in impa history. He then took up the recon Edgefield district before she dismembered. The populatioi Edgefield district was in ro numbers 14.000 not, of coi counting negroes. The vote in '. was 2,700 and she furnished 3 men for the Confederate Edgefield furnished five maj nineteen colom-is and Heuten colonels, seventeen staff offi and many others. The address of General Bo was an extremely fine and eloqi one. evidently felt deply reference to the glorious and events of the war in which he such a conspicuous and gall figure. The next speaker was ex-Go^ nor John C. Sheppard. He e that he deemed it a sweet pr i vii as well as a high honor participate in the ceremonies this interesting occasion, but had always been oppressed vi his unworthiness to perform duty on weh occassioue, for it \ his misfortune not to be allen to share in the struggle. Si services could only be app priately rendered by the surviv of that awful struggle-who ^ carry with them to the safe i sacred custody of the grave honor of the scars which tl bear in their bodies. We stand here today um the shadow of the past. It is i der the influence of the solei reverence one might feel in 1 gloom of Westminster Abb surrounded by the illustrious de of England. He remembered w ,yhen the secession flag was rais upon the spot upon which we n stand. It was our declaration allegiance and loyalty to t principles of constitutional govei ment, for which our fathers h fought and which they had ach ic ed, cherished and transmitted us, and which it is our duty transmit to our children. He drew a picture of our situ tionand concluded that we h no chance left but to unconditio ally submit or meet force wi force and that we adopted the on alternative of free men. He coi pared our struggle with other wa and showed the comparative loss* In the four years of the war a Js per arose in every fort which \ defended; there was a Leonid upon every field of battle; ar from th4* first to the last there wi not a Benedict Arnoid to be four anywhere.

Governor Sheppard's address was a gem of rare ex cellence. He was eloquent and pathetic. He spoke with feeling and showed that his whole neart was with the Confederacy and its dead. Hon. Jasper WY Talbert was the next and last speaker. He is member of congres from the dis trict. Mr. Talbert made an ex cellent address from start to finish, and it is a pity that it cannot be reported more fully thai it will be, appreciated at its full worth it should appear in full and just ns he delivered it, verbatim-and it would stir the hearts of the most callous. His tribute to woman was grandly eloquent. No higher and better deserved praise of our southern woman could be surpass ed by auy one. His words did not come from his lips but from his heart. The following are some of the unfinished sayings of Mr. Talbert: He was here to speak of the Con federate soldior, who has eclipsed all other soldiers. The proudest recollection of his life would al ways be that he was a Confederate soldier. He had great respect for the Confedrate soldier and he wanted his children and his children's children to respect their memory. The names of our noble noble women will be inscribed on the highest hiunacle in the temple of Fame. Then followed his handsome tribute to women, which your correspondent will no* mar by attempting to reproduce. He then paid a high compliment to the Cmfederate private soldier, claiming that he was the true hero who bore the brunt, tbe heat and hardships and who found on returning home desolation aud when he surrendered, be gave up everything but manhood and honor. Our cause was never lost, as it was the cause of liberty and is still having its effect. He always stood up for the south in congress and never allowed it to be insulted. He would never permit it as long as ton people kept him in congress. At the close of Mr. Talbert's ad dress, Governor John C. Sheppard on behalf Mrs. Augeltno Bacou, widow of Col. Thomas B. Bacon, who was colonel of the 7th South Carolina regiment, presented a beautiful flag to Mrs. A. V. Evans, president, and the ladies of the Memorial association. Col. A. S. Tompkins in a graceful speech ac cepted the flag ou the part of MrB. Evans and the association. * Hon. B. R. Tillman was not prejent, and no one explained his absence, but it is presumed that he was too busy iu the campaign to attend. Col. Scott Allen, who was also expected to be present, was too sick to attend.-W. P. C., in Au gusta Chronicle. Bules Gouerniug Democratic Primary Rule 1.
