Mcsweeney'* Tribute to Our Soldiers. Governor McSwoeney's presentation speech at the South Carolina monu ment OD the battlefield of Chicks* uiauga was as follows: Fellow Countrymen: j More than a generation bas passed eineo the dsy of carnage which made this spot his toric, whon foeman met foreman worthy ?f his steel in this bloody co? t?t. It was nota conflict between hired soldiers, but of men equal in courage and of the same great raoe who were contending for principles they believed to bo right. The hero ism sod the fortitude displayed by tho southern soldiers in this conflict has never been surpassed in the history of thc world, i Ho considered that he was contending for the prinoiple upon ~h:ch 0"r government WAH fnundml aDd be went into the conflict as a patriotic duty, and duty was his watchword from M an ass as to Appo mattox. On no other hypothesis can you explain the privation and the suf c.arhinh ho cn ntl pr.rf ii\1 .> lenna .- -?. - . -J ?..??* readily endured. This spirit of patriotism prevailed cot only among the men of the south, but the woman, like the Spartan mothers of old, sent their sons and loved ones to the front with a cheer fulness born of a patriotism that will make any people great. From the first goa at Fort Sumter until arms were stacked at Appomattox they en dured hardships and privations with a fortitude rareiy equalled and never excelled. And when the Confederate soldier stacked his arms and furled forever the ting which he had followed through victory and defeat and turned his face homeward, shattered and worn, there were no vain regrets for the part he had played in the great drama of war, but with a cheerfulness unpar alleled and a spirit of Ivie and the work of rebuilding his lost fortunes, and to day there is no one more ready or more willing to respond to the de fense of our oountry than the Confed erate soldier. This was demonstrated in our last war with Spain when Joe Wheeler saved the day at Santiago and young Bagley laid his life upon the altar of his oountry. it is meet and right that we should perpetuate his memory in bronze and stone, but better still that it should be embalmed io the hearts and lives of those who are to come after us. This we can do and at the same time accept the result of the combat and still be true to the flag. This is a proud day for Sooth Car olina. This beautiful park has been purchased by the general government, and each State having 'troops engaged in this great battle haB.been asked to nark the position of its troops. -Many of the States have already acted, . and. nearly a half sillien dollars have boen expended by sixteen Skates . for this parp?se. Though to-day wo bavo at least dene our duty and tooday wo cone to dedicate this monument to the memory of the brave South Caro linians who fought and fell on this historic spot. IQ 1893 the general assembly of South Carolina appointed a commission to select suitable monuments, but ii. was not until 1900 that the means wore provided to oomplere the work. At that session of the (legislature r.n ap propriation of $10,000 was made to erect suitable monuments, and the governor was authorized to appoint a commission of three members and they, with the.governor and the ad jutant general, were to haue charge of the erection of the markers and tho monument. By authority of that act 1 appointed as the other members of that commission General C. I. Walker, of Charleston; Colonel J. Harvey Wilson, of Sumter; and Captain C. K. Henderson, of#Aiken. I am proud that I hr.ve the opportunity of taking part in theso ceremonies and I rejoice at the consummation to which this day brings us in the completion and dedication of this monument. It is a glad day for all true sons of thc Pal metto State. No Muss ? Deep gloom had Bottled upon the Confederate banner in Juiy, 18Q3, for thoa Vick.?jurg had fallen and the terrible battle of Gettysburg bad been fought. Those disasters were not enough, but Confederate energy seem ed paralyzing so far as tho army under General Bragg was concerned, for the United States forces under Rosecrans had by force of number and superb military equipment driven the army of the west through Chattanooga into North Georgia. The idea was seized upon by tho military authorities at Riohmand to reinforce the depleted columns under Bragg by two divisions of Longstreet's corps to be command ed by tha old war horse, General J. B. Hood. So hurried were the move ments of the reinforcing columns that Longstreet could not have his artillery to reanh r.h? battlefield of Chickamau ga, but the two divisions nnder Mo Daws and Hood were assigned to the command of the left wing of General Bragg's army. On the day of the 20th of Septem ber, louo. two giants in warfare grap pled from right to left from sunrise to sunset. Thc Yaukee left was com manded by that superb moldier, Gen eral George H. Thomas, and to dis lodge that force General Bragg order ed every effort to be made, but Thomas held hi>. ground too firmly to yield tho field there. Thc old war horse, Long street, pressed the Yankee right and center with his troops and some of the Yankees under Gordon, Granger and Wood, and by the use of twelve or twenty pieces of artillery at an angle the left wing of thc Yankee army under Thoman gave way. This left the entire fioid in thc possession of the Confederates It is a glorious reflection that the valor of South Carolina troops under .Kershaw on the left and Manigauleou the right contributed so largely to this magnificent victory, and it is a matter of history that the South Car olina troops, through Kershaw*s brig ade, made the farthest advance on Snodgrass Hill. There was not a bloodier fought battle in the whole war, when you take in consideration the number of troops engaged and the time of aotual combat. Official reports show that the killed wounded and missing were over thirty-three per cent, of all the troops actually engaged. On the union side the loss in this battle of a number of regiments was fifty per cent of the men engaged, and the same loss was sustained by the troops on the other side, and General Long street in bio history says that his com mand lost in two hours nearly forty four per oent of its strength. "The charge of the light brigade at Balakla va baa been made famous in song and history, yot there were thirty onion regiments that each lost tea per cent more men at Chickamauga and many Confederate regiments whose mortal ity exceeded tb i G." .,>pp-.the* nigh?' Pttnis day it was that Gob. Brcokinridge in answering the .call of the South Carolina troops said: "I will not say to whom the credit is due, but this is the first occasion upon which I have been allowed to sleep with my troops on a battlefield which, has been fairly and thoroughly woe." It was of thia battle also that Chas. A. Banna, assistant sec retary of war, on the field himself, sent to his government this dispatch: "We have this day met a second Bull Run;" ? It is, my countrymen, to such men as these who bared their breasts on many . a battlefield to the belohing tire and lead of the enemy that we come to dedicate this monument. It is a privilege which we CDjoy to have such a heritage as they have left us. *?hia signature is on every box ot the genuine Laxative Bromo=Quinine Tableta the remedy that env?s a co?4 in. ope day - The feminine graduates of a grammar Behool seldom know how to decline marriage.
