BURGER. He was born in the City of Charleston, became a member of our Society January, 1630, and de>| parted this life near CartersviUe, Georgia, on -the 10th June, 1870, in his forty-third year. - Hltamiains were brought to this city a'nd in? terred in the cemetery of St. John's Lutheran - Church. ' It becomes our mournful privilege to record. . on the memorials of our dead, a merited testi? monial to the kindly, genial fellowship of our ..departed brother, in our social Intercourse; to ' his intelligent, active and efficient co-opera? tion In every measure promoting the welfare . of the German Friendly Society. A long and familiar Intercourse with this -'fraternity had attracted to him their affection . and secured their confidence. SAMUEL J. BURGER was a thorough, true < man. In his avowal ot opinion, frank, zeal- j -otis; in his professions?*of friendship, pure, steadfast-his words were verjfled by his acts. - Where his sense of duty led, he followed with enthusiasm. Among the first to advocate an appeal by his beloved State to the arbitrament - ot arms,' he was among the first on the battle? field, and among the last to sheathe his sword, 'tearing on his person to the grave the silent but unerring tokens of his gallantry. -He. served bis friends with the same fidelity and - dislnterestednes which marked his patriotism. Be it. therefore, Resolved, That the German Friendly Society $awfully realize the void in their midst by the eceas<} o? S. J. BURGER-the Society the loss .. of a judicious, energetic member; to the State a devoted citizen; to humanity, a good and true man.

List of the Dead-Description of the Monument -Imposing Ceremonies - Grand Outpouring of the Citizens Poem by Ker. Dr. Winklcr-Address of General Wade Hampton, &c, ?v.c. A common purpose seemed to inspire cite citizens of Charleston yesterday afternoon, and that purpose was the paying of a tribute to the memory of the dead heroes of the Washington Light Infantry by hoing present and partici? pating in the ceremonies connected with the unveiling of the monument erected to their' memory In Magnollao Cemetery by their com? rades. Several special trains on the South Carolina and Northeastern Railroads were chartered by the Washington Light Infantry, and about 4 o'clock left for the grounds laden with ladies and gentlemen and children. Among tho or? ganized bodies which went up on the trains to participate in the ceremonies were : Washing? ton, Landmark, St. Andrew's, Union Kilwin? ning, Tyre, Delta, Strict Observance, Orange, La Candeur, Solomon's, Franklin, Walhalla and Howard Lodges; Carolina Chapter, South Carolina Coramaudery. Survivors' Association, Carolina Rifle Club, South Carolina Rangers Association, the German Friendly. Cincinnati, St. Andrew's. Union Light lufantry Charitable, Washiagto?j?Artillery Friendly, Hibernian and New England Societies; tile Vigilant, Pioneer, Phorf?x, Stonewall, Washington, Hook and Ladder, No. 1, Steam Fire Company of Axmen. .?Etna, Hook and Ladder, No. 2, Palmetto, Eagle and Hope Fire Companies. These, with the Washington Light Infantry Charitable Association, and ladies, children, and gentlemen disconnected with the organi? zations, swelled the number present to be? tween eight and ten thousand persons. But for the forbidding appearance ot the weather, which deterred many from going, there would have been most probably about fifteen thous? and persons present. The stores in the city were generally closed, and the streets wore almost a Sunday appearance. The W. It. I. Before proceeding further, lt would not be amiss ?0 give a brief history of the Washing? ton Light Infantry. The company was organ? ized many years before the war, and was the first to volunteer Its services toihe State. The first war duty of the company was the guard? ing of the Charleston Arsenal; and with others of the Rifle Regiment, of which it formed a part, took possession of and garrisoned Castle Pinckney, in December, 1SC0. A detachment of the company at the same time was sent to Fort Moultrie. The company did duty at Fort Moultrie and about the harbor before, during and after the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Soon after the fall of this fort, a company was organized, chiefly from the Wash? ington Light Infantry, for the purpose of Joining the ?lampton Logion, and under the command of Captain James Connor, went with the Legion to Virginia, and shared all of the dangers and glories of the grand old Army of Northern Virginia. Two of Its captains, Connor and Logan, became brigadier-gener? als, and General Johnston Pettigrew went out asa private in its ranks. . The remainder of the company remained on duty about Charleston with the Rifle Regi? ment, and in February, lSvJ, entered Into the provisional army of the Confederate States. By Ibis time the company liad Increased to such an extent that two coinpa lies were organized, known respectively as Companies A and B. Washington Light lufantry, and formed the nucleu^of the famous Eutaw Battalion, which afterward became tho Twenty-fifth Regiment South Carolina Volunteers. In this reglmeut the company did duty on this coast until 1SG4, seeing service at Savannah, Seccssionville, Po cotaligo, Battery Wagner and Fort Sumter, and did arduous duty in picketing the sea is? lands In the front of the enemy, during the siege of Charleston. During this time the regiment was incorporated in General John? son Hagood's brigade, and In 1SC4 was order? ed to Petersburg, and participated in the early battles in that vicinity, for gallant conduct, In which Hagood and his brigade won the enco? miums of thc entire army of Northern Virginia. During the long and weary siege of^getersbjug, these two companies did their duty faithfully and* well. General Hagood and .his brigade were sent to Wilmington, N. C., In 18C5. During the siege ol' Fort Fisher, two of lils regiments, one of which* was the 25th, was sent to increase the garrison of that hard < pressed fortification, and when it fell were cap? tured with it. During the war one hundred and sixteen? members of the Washington Light lnfautry were killed or died from disease' I or wounds-. ^ W. L. I. Charitable Association. At the close of the wac the surviving mem? bers of the two companies organized them? selves" under the name of the Washington Light Infantry Charitable Association, not only for the purpose of keeping olive an organiza? tion which hud flourish?! for more than haif ol a century, but lo minister to the wants of their crippled comrades and afford succor to the widows and orphans of those of the companies who were numbered among tiie slain. . Many of the dead slept in the various church? yards of the city and In Magnolia Cemetery, while not a few lay where they fell, on the battle-field. Upon those of the graves of the dead which were within the reach of the former comrades and friends, of the deceased, betimes might be seen a Jresh wreath of flow? ers placed there by some loving hand, but in most cases there was no other memorial to record affection fo^ him who lay beneath. 1 Knowing this, their heroic comrades, who fought"side by side with them, determined that such should be thc case no longer, but that a monument should be erected which would do honor to'the memory of the dead, and bear everlasting evidence of the admira? tion and love in wliich they were held. The result of this determination ls a noble monu? ment, standing on a grass-grown knoll, near the centre of Magnolia Cemetery, surrounded by monumental slabs and sculptured memorial marble, which mark the last resting places .of so many of Charleston's dead, and near which sleey a host of Confederate dead. The Monument is of the Gothic order, of architecture. It is made of Tennessee marble, and is twenty-five feet high. The bose of the monument, resting on a foundation of Southern granite, is octago? nal in shape, and inscribed at equal Intervals around it are the names of the battles In which the companies of the Washington Light Infan? try participated, viz: Richmond, Drury's Bluff, Cold Harbor, Fort Fisher, Seven Pines. Averysboro', Fort Sumter, Battery Wanner, Manassas, Gaines's Mill, Petersburg, and Seces slonville. From the pedestal,* which ls five feet high, ornamented with buttress corners, and caps^and hoods, and rising in clustered pinnacle formes lifted a shaft fifteen feet in height, panel faced and pinnacled, and the apex;enriched by a bunch of foliage.

Long before 5 o'clock, the hour for com? mencing the exercises, the assemblage had collected about the monument, which was veiled, and the stand erected a few paces dis? tant, and patiently awaited the opening ol'the ceremonies. Shortly after 5 o'clock, the Grand Lodge ol' Masons, under thc charge of Hie Grand Marshal, P. K. Coburn, and the various societies, lire companies and other organiza? tions, preceded by Muller's Band playing a dirge, marched to the front of the stand, u| which the officers of the Grand Lodge and Washington Light Infantry, General Hai ton, Coionel Slmonton, Re?. Dr. Winkler i others took their seats. Virtus ct Valor. At half-past 5 o'clock Colonel Simon called the assemblage to order, and the ea cises were commenced with a fervent appeal the Throne ot Grace by the Chaplain, Rev. E. Edgerton, after which, Rev. Dr. E. T. Wink! ex-chaplain of the Twenty-fifth Regiment Soi Carolina Volunteers, recited the follow! poem, composed by him for the occasion, 8 entitled VIRTUS ET VALOR, ? graceful pillar In the waste, A shrlue to love and memory dear, With arts and arms, and trophies traced, The Eutaw guardians proudly rear: They bring the tender tribute here The sculptured spoil, the laurelled prize, Which to the noblest of her name, Her foremost on the lists of fame, The conquered State denies. For death may come, but duty lives, And reverence and love remain; The sacrl?ce that nature gives, When dust must sink to earth again, Bf.not the rending of the chain That bound us to the valiant shade: But Honor claims the immortal urn, For lamps that languish as they burn, Aud dowers that bloom to fade Ah, was lt not\ knightly thought, That gathered from her fields of pride, And here our country's relics brought, And laid her heroes side br side Sfrnone their ashes might divide, Or break their brotherhood of soul? As one, the sleeping hosts below Shall hear the tinal trumpet blow, And answer to thc roll. As one. the gathered hosts above Renew the commerce of the free, And watch 'till resting Life and Love Awake at Morning's reveille. And face Its kindred face shall see The slumberer front, upon the sod Reclining now-so wan and marred ! The sentrv's, bronzed and battle-scarred, t?Flushed with the light of God. Aronnd this templed monument What memories gather, proud and grand, From Sumter's bastions brown and rent; From Wagner's dunes of billowy sand; From lines where Johnson's beacons stand; Where Piuckney sways his realm of blue; Where every palm and every wave Recall the triumphs of our brave, Where Moultrie'* eagles flew. But O thou cynosure or eyes, Thou sceptered city by the sea ! From other lands where trophies rise, Thy children bring their Bpolls to thee ! Accept the offerings of the free: From Fisher, min the thundering fleet, From Petersburg's embattled lines, From Richmond's plume or Sabbath pines Falls homage at thy feet. Thy sons beheld the Invader fly Across Munassas crimson ford, And, when to battle was to die, At Avery met his countless horde; For thee that priceless blood was poured ! O mother ! crown their Spartan march, And lay them at its high ascent, Beneath no funeral monument, But a triumphal arch ! Tiley did not argue, but they fought, When the dear State sahl: "Fight for me !" From death-struck hand to hand they caught Aud bore aloft her palmy tree Through storms that never smote the sea Content Its grand device to show: 'Mid thunder clouds of wrath aaa hate, Burnell quenchless "virtue" lor the State, "And valor" for the foe. When all the sea swoopgd white with sails; With spouts of dre the harvests bled; When valor pent in ftozen jabs, With wormy dust and ashes red, Drew lire and courage from the dead; Still, on our decimated ranks J or Titans were tho mountains hurled, The mercenaries or the world Smote rront and rear and flanks. * O hearts that only sought the right, Mid howling, haunted wildernesses; O hands that bore the unequal tight With legloned perils and distresses; O names that Love, that Glory blesses, From hoary sage to college tyro, Each at his country's call a hero: Your legend then, Dum spiro, spero, Now, spero, dum expiro. Beyond thc tomb extend your lives, And wc that sacred trust may shield The spotless honor flint survives Aud blooms upon the battle-flelit. Whate'er those gory acres yield Of private worth or public good A warring world cannot subdue: The virrues or the leal and ttue Are canonized in blood. To shirt and veer with changing time, To cringe and rawn to frowning power, Is to our burled dead a crime, An Insult to the living hour! Let martial Friendship guard her dower And place as pledges on the grave The gleaming stones, the shafts that tower With name and wreath, and sculptured tlowei In honor of the brave. In silence now sleep ali the isles. That once the booming battle stirred, Save where benignant .summer smiles, As flutes and trills lier mocking-bird, Amid the moss-clad forest heard: The Morning's bugles are unblown. Relieved is Evening's rostlcss tramp, Grey Memory sentinels the camp, Bland Nature claims her own. Her own the trunks of prostrate pine, Thronged nightly when thc "church-call' blew Her ownthe grasses of the line, Once gemmed with blood instead of dew; Her own the century oaks that threw Their shelter o'ertlie jasmine Howers: But. the sweet genius ol the place, Its Joy, Its beauty and its grace Its nublest lile-are ours. Resume, soft Kal ure, thy domftln; Heal bleeding houris with balms of peace, But keep within thy gentle reign The mugic token we release, Nor let that native virtue cease, To which Oils altar pile ls given Its base aglow with fields of fame, Its slabs tuat guard each shining name, Its spire that Hames to heaven. Unveiling thc Monument. At the conclusion of the poem, the doti: around the monument was removed, and its beautiful proportions displayed to the audi? ence, the band the while playing a selection from "Moses in Egypt." As soon as the cloth was removed, a beautiful wreath encircling the word l,J2tna" was suspended from one of the buttress corners of the pedestal-a graceful tribute lo the dead from the .?Etna Steam Fire Company. The moistened eyes and heaving bosoms ol many of the members of the Washington?Llgh t Infantry told that, while they were reading the names of their dead comrades, their hearts were reverting to the glorious days of peace, and the days when?the war was young, before its gorgeous pageantry was empurpled with the blood that flowed so freely afterward, when they-Hie living and dead-of the W. L. I., with quick, proud step and martial mien.pa raded to the slroius of music that stirred their leaping pulses, and under banners that floated and rippled in Hie sunlight; to the time when so many bright heads were laid low on thc battle-field, aud brave spirits went out of so many ghastly reuls. Bul for the living and the dead . . .'The war drums throb no longer, And the battle-flags are furled." And all that is left for the living, to per? petuate thc heroic deeds of the dead and vindicate their memory, liare been and will be done* by them. Address of General Hampton. The music ceased, Colonel Si mouton intro? duced General Wade Hampton, the orator of the occasion, who was received with applause. , The General, addressing the president and gentlemen of the Washington Light Infantry Charitable Association, said: In accepting the position assigned to me by your kindness, in the solemn ceremonies of the day, many and conflicting emotions stirred my heart. Ou the one hand, said he, a painful con? sciousness of my Inability to discharge the taBk imposed in a manner worthy of the oecaslon op p. es- es me ?md bids me keep silent ; while on the other huud. a sense of duty to my living as well MR to m> dead comrades. Impels nie to join in this demonstration of honor to those who arc sleeping ueneatui the soil they gave their lives to ueleud. L-l me then place on their tomb a vo? tive offering ?Vilich, unworthy as it may be of our noble d- ad. has at least the merit of coming from a he tn lilied with sympathy for thecause lu which they fell; admiration for their devoted pa ir oti.-m nun b :roic courage; respect and affec? tion for their memory, and proround grier for their untimoty death. There are other motives, scarce? ly leas poteut, why my voice should not be silent on any occasion where honorjf paid to the U\ jor dead of the Washington Lffht Infantry. Have yon forgotten, comrades of that ?al! corps? I shall always remember lt with pr that when oar State called her sons to fend her, and that command was organize when your banner, unsullied by any stain of feat, untarnished by any breath of dishonor,1 borne so heroically through the storm of nei every great historic battle of the war-lt was Washington Light Infantry that gave me the t company of the Hampton Legion. Can yon s pose that I have forgotten the name of "Ci pany A?" that company which for four years heroic though unequal war, stood always shaken on the right of the Legion ? Can I for that devoted friend, that unselfish ratriot, t gallant soldier, that noble gentleman. Johns who was your first and one of your costliest sa fices laid on the altar of our country ? Can I f get the gifted Pettigrew, who lived truly lt enough to achieve an undying glory for hims but who died too soon for his mourning counti Standing over the graves which hold the hallt ed dust of so many patriotic soldiers, lookl upon yonder tomb, where are inscribed the nar of forty-five of my loved and trusted comrades that single company which you gave me, h can I forget the men who fought and died hy ; side? Can I, turning from the lamented dead the honored living, looking once again upon familiar faces of the men whom danger taut me to trust, forget the friends who never betr ed that trust? Can 1 look upon Conner, as leans upon those crutches, which tell pron how nobly he discharged his duty, and then 1 get the WashlQgton Light Infantry? Oh, i my friends. Memory and associations such these are amongst the most cherished thou saddest of my heart, and they bind me to my < comrades by ties which death may, but not hi else, can ever sever. They remind me, too. of i duties to the dead, and amongst them there none more sacred than that which calls upon i to vindicate their motives, to praise their patri Ism, to commend their example, and to proti their memory. These are the duties which ? volve upon us, the sad survivors of that gall: band who, at the call of their State, rallied her defence. Mournlug over the graves of "c slain," who, "for fal h and for freedom. 1 slaughtered In vain;" standing amid the wre of our dearest hopes, looking at the ruin of o country, wltnessln-r the steady but rapid ov< throw or Republican Institutions and constli tlonal liberty, what ls left to cheer us to futi exertion but the hallowed memories of the past that post which was ijiiule glorious by ourgri dead. Amid that noble and, alas, vast throt none have done higher honor to their State, no deserve deeper gratitude, than the men who di In her cause. Not until death has placed his er nal seal upon the living, and stamped with I Irrevocable decree all the actions of their belt can they be truly estimated. The judgment 1 pass upon our contemporaries ls too often warp by envy, Jealousy, personal dislike, or polltli prejudice: and it ls not until death has clos their career here that we can recognize the gre? ness of their actions, or the Integrity of their pi poses. The men to whom you dedicate this mouumc as a testimonial of your respect, gratitude a: affection, have passed this last dread ordeal, a we deem them worthy to be enshrined la a pi pie's heart, and to receive the grateful plaud of a people's voice. "A people's voice I we are a people yet, Tho' all men else their nobler dreams forget ; Confused by brainless mobs and lawless powe We have a voice with which to pay the debt Of boundless love and revereuce and regret Tu those great men who fought and kept ours." They fought to vindicate the great truths enu elated In '76. and to defend their lnalienat rights established by our fathers, and bequeath' to us as our noblest heritage. For these th fought in vain; and of all the attributes of ra dom, there ls left to us only a people's voil which, though stilled, calls Heaven to wltne that we were sincere and honest In the conv Hons which prompted our actions, which still < serts our unshaken failli in the justice of o cause, and which, rising from our^-.heai in our desolate land, utter lamentations f thc precious blood that was so lavishly l> so bravely shed lu our country's cause. Vi my friends, who were the actors in that migh drama which for four years filled thc world stape,*hiay not be competent to pronounce an li partial judgment as to the justice ofthat cana Time, with Its soothing indueace, must elaps ami Hie passions engendered by'the war mu cool before the record can be fully made up fi History to pronounce her final verdict. 1 llcvlng that Truth, Right and Justice we on our side, we submit our case wltho one doubt to thc impartial judgment of postcrlt reserving to ourselves the right of appeal to tl Great Tribunal alone, where the Supreme Jui'i of the universe, who rends our hearts, will pr nounce that decree which will through all eton ty justify or condemn us. We know that tl men whose names are written on that maru believed, as firmly as thev did In the existence i . a God, In the justice of the cause for which th? died; we know that they sacrificed peace, cor fort, life, to encounter war, privation, death, i the call and the service of their State; and kno\ lng this, we place them high on the rc of those patriotic and heroic dead wi make up the great nrmy of marty: of Liberty. Nor should their memory be less dtl to us. or less honored, because they felt In a eau: which God, In His providence, has seen flt to li fall. The heathen may deify the conquering her while he condemns those who fall to ex ii chains or death, for with him success Is the on! evidence cf merit, but not so the Chrlstiai Right, truth, justice contribute the standard i, which he measures all things. The test he ap plu to the actions of men is the law which God Hin self has made. By tins lav/, we eau distingu?s the laws which decide right from wrong, aa read ly as wc can recognize those which separate Ugh from darkness. We know that ia the econom of God evil ls often permitted to prevail ovc good on this earth. We see virtue trampled Int dust by vice. We see liberty prostrate at th feet of tyranny. We see religion superseded b fanaticism. Intelligence, virtue, patriot isr thrust aside, while ignoranco, vice and selilsl ness usurp the high places of the earth. Tites are the apparent anomalies which strike Ul when we consider the Almighty governmen of tills world. But when guided by th light of revelation we look more clcsely into thu wondrous system, and comprehend more full the scheme of Hiat faith which, springing fror Calvary, is lighting with Its sublime truths ever, crevice of the earth, we cati reconcile the dlillcu ties which stand In our way. That religio: taught by the Saviour, which we profess, nowlier promises that we shall be rewarded in this wort for well doing, lt docs not promise that virtu shall here triumph while vice ls punished; ll doe not promise that thc cause of liberty, sustainci though lt may bc by truth, courage," patriotism will necessarily succeed when lt has to conten? willi unlicensed power, directed by ambition tnrrred and fear. No such promises ure held ou by the Divine Founder of our religion to lils fol lowers. On the contrary, they are explicitly tob that on this earth they arc to look for trials, dis appointments and amictlons; that they will oftei see the powers of darkness holdiug high caruiva of crime, where they hoped to see virtue exercis lug her benign and powerful sway; that lt cloe: not come within thc scope or thc Christian relig lon to punish evil and to reward thc good in tliti world, and that not until the last trump sha! summon the quick and the dead to Judgmeu will the great Judge, reciting all thc wrongs, pun ish all the crimes and reward all the virtues whic: have excited her since the foundation of the earth It Is this sublime faith that sustains the Christian patriot as he struggles to bear lils own aitlictlous or mourns over his country's loss of liberty; foi he knows that If he has discharged his dury tc bis God and to hts country, he will sooner or latei surely reup an exceeding great reward. Let us, then, my friends and comrades, cling with uurelaxing grasp and unshaken confidence to the faith that ts In us. Let not the angry threats of oppression or the syren voice of temp tutiou drive or allure ns to forsake lt. Above all, be not misled by that unmeaning Jargon which tells you that your cause-was submitted to the arbitrament of arms, and that the sword has de? cided that cause against you. The sword has never, nor will lt ever, decide a principle or estab? lish a truth, lt can, as it has ofteu doue, over? throw a just cause and make might cake the place of right; but lt can never reverse the immutable laws of God, aud make what ls evil appear right in His sight. A noble cause, upheld heroically by honor, courage and patriotism may die along with its supporters. A great trutli never dies; but eternal as the God-head from which lt springs, lt lives forever, amid all the changes of dynasties, the wreck or empires, and tue death ol' nations. It is, too, as false in fact as in logic to assert tiiut the sword eau or docs decide justly between right and wrong. With thc sword the Goths and-Vandal* drenched the fair Holds or Italy with the best, blood of her sons, lt gave nearly half the world to Mahomet. lt allowed the Turks tcrtrainple out thc civiliza? tion or Greece its keen edge has dismembered Poland, lt hasncft Hungary bleeding at the feet "of the oppressors. It has turned over Spain and Portugal to the tender mercies or thc Saracen, and on this continent and in our day, directes by unscrupulous power against the throats of prostrate States, reeking with paricldal blood it enforces the laws which it alone has made. Tell me not then that the sword can rightfully turn the scales or justice. It is the exponent ol ty? ranny, not the arbitrator or tmth-the badge or the tyrant and thc executioner, not thc symbol 'of justice. It is not at all Inconsistent with these views that we, as a conquered people, should observe scrupulously the terras dictated by the sword and accepted by us. We aun do this, nnd should do lt, in perfect good faith; but we should claim and exercise the (iod-glven right of free? dom of opinion. We acknowledge that the cause for whiclt these men died ls losi, but we should be false to them, false to that cause, were we to admit that they were, because of failure, necessa? rily wrong. We believe that they were right, and we therefore honor and respect their mem? ory. If they were right time will vimtioate the action aud record their fume, ir wrong, "It was a grievous fault. And grievously have they answered it." We, comrades of the Washington Light Infan? try, we who gave our all lo the same cause in which our brothers ft ll, can entertain no doubt as to the place which will be accorded them by history. Stigmatized now as rebels, posterity will, we hope and believe, give to them (he more appropriate name of patriots. Believing this, we fear not to accept from Hie conqueror the epi? thet of rebel. Our ancestors had once the same term applied tn them, and I accept as a* complete refutation or all dishonor attached to the word the noble language used in regard to lt br a great statesman and patriot of England. -The term rebel," said Charles Fox, "ls no certain mark or disgrace. For all the great apostles of liberty, the saviors of their country, the benefactors of mankind, tn all ages have been called rebels, and we even owe the constitution which enables ns to sit In this house to a rebellion." Nor are there wanting men at the North who, rising high above the prejudices or their sections and the trammels of popular opinion, dare to assert In language as lofty, sentiments as noble as those so eloquently expressed by this great ora? tor. It was ray good fortune, on a recent occasion In New rorie, to hear one who would be an honor to any country, address an audience composed or Southern as well as Northern men. -In touch? ing the great Issues which had so lately arrayed the two sections in war, he drew a glowing picture or patriotism. He told us how this virtue", beginning with one's family, spreads in ever widening waves till lt embraced all we have as coumry; and then turning to the Southerners who were present, he brought tears ol gratified pride to their eyes by exclaiming: "And, gentle? men, the only reason why you will not hereafter be regarded as the noblest patriots who ever lived, ls simply because it has happened that George Washington fought In the same cause before you did." You, my mends, or the Light Infantry, who bear the name, thc Father or his Country has made Immortal, must reel your hearts swell with patriotic pride when you know that the great and good or other lands deem you not unworthy to be placed alongside or Washington. You bear his name, and you have proved yourselves worthy to do so. There are other historic associations or peca? na .. and proud Interest, which connects your or? ganization closely with the great name lt bears. Amid that grand group of revolutionary heroes who illustrated by their deeds in the great rebel? lion of '70, In the history of South Carolina, no name ls held in higher esteem than that or Wm. Washington, thc worthy kinsman and rollower of his illustrious namesake. On the bloo ly Heids or Cowpens and Eutaw, hisglorions banner-tue pre? cious girt or devoted woman-swept through car? nage to victory. That same banner ol Washington which had been consecrated by the prayers or woman-baptized In the best blood or Carolina sanctified by the cause of freedom In which lt had waved-venerated by our whole people as the symbol of victory, the ensign of liberty-was committed by Washington's widow to the Wash? ington Light Infantry, and lier own honored hands presented lt. Whsn she gave this Hag which her patriot husband had so nobly borne through the war of Independence, she solemnly adjured your company to defend lt, if need be with their lives and to maintain its honor un? sullied, and to be forever true to tbe great cause the cause of rreedom-In which it had first been unrurled. Men or the Washington Light Infantry, sons or thc men who rought by the side or Marion, of Sumter, of Moultrie, of Pickens, of Rutledge, of Huger and or Washington, how have you kept that solemn charge ? Let Manassas, and Seces sion ville, and Seven Pines, and Sharpsburg, and Cold Harbor, and Gaines's Mill, and Malvern Hill, and Drury's Blatf, and Fort Sumter, and Petersburg, and Battery Wagner, and Ben tonsvllle, and Chlckamauga, and Fredericks burg, and a score of other glorious battle? fields, Inscribed In Imperishable letters on that im? mortal banner of yours, answer. You, the men who stand here to-day, and those whose names are written on yonder slab, have fought under the same Hag, In the same cause your fathers did, and fought with a patriotism as lofty, a courage as high, a devotion as noble, as ever animated the hearts of your patriot sires. You have proved that the blood which flows In your veins is not de? generate, and that you have been worthy custo? dians of the precious charge entrusted to your keeping. Bc true, then, each or you, I conjure you, now and ever, whatever trials, vicissitudes, or su trenn gs beset you, to your lineage, your prin? ciples, your renown. '-Let all the ends thou alm'st at bc thy God's, thy Country's and Truth's," then ir thou rollest, thou Tallest a blessed martyr. Besides all these Incentives to noble actions, presented by the great traditions and hallowed memories or the post, you have mony others con? nected with the rormatlon and history of your corps, and In the sacred objects contemplated now by your association. You cannot forget that the Washington Light Infantry owes Its existence to the patriotic Impulse which called its founders to repel foreign Invasion, and made them resort to arms to defend that liberty which their fathers had achieved. Need I recall to your memory the name or vour first captain-a name Justly dear to evcrv Carolinian's heart, honored wherever integ? rity bf purpose, purity of-lire, or power of Intel? lect, are esteemed-the name of one, of whom Henry Clay said : "Ol all tuc men I have ever known, thc best man, the wisest, the purest, and the greatest statesman, was Wllllaai Lownes?" On the roll of your company, Illustrated Hrst by this great name, are to be found many others worthily distinguished In thc annals of our State, flt successors or y our Illustrious captain. Xor need you rear to place the record you made ror your? selves during Wie late war by the side of that of any other eonaaiand, nor to compare the oillcers and men whom you gave to the "Lost Cause," with anv who served the Confederacy. You gave three general officers-Pettigrew, Conner and Logan all worthily distinguished in that cause, and with them added, as field officers, Johnson, De Treville and Slmonton, while almost every com? mand from this State drew from your ranks, so prolific of gallant soldiers, many or its most effi? cient subaltern officers and men. How thc rnnk and flic of the Washington Light Infantry did their duty to their country ls told In mute, but eloquent language, by the long list of honored na tues that meet your eyes on this monument, 'which you have dedicated rev. reutl.v am! affec? tionately to your noble dead. We 1 worthy are they of nil thc honor yon can pay 'hem. ror they surely lell blessed martyrs, and this conviction on mir part is toll of comfort to those who see the names of their kindred written on the South's roll of honor, that list which records her dead. I know how vain ls all human consolation to thc heart that is called on to give up some object around which the tenderest affections cluster. I know that many a parent In our mourning land, as he looks through eyes blinded by the tears that will well up from his heart, at some loved name, perhaps on that tomb, or some stone that covers nil that was mortal or one who was his pride, his hope, lils darling, cries out in the pathetic lan? guage wrung rrom a bereaved rather's heart: "Oh. my son Absalom ! my sou, my son Absalom ! Would God 1 had died ror thee ! O, Absalom ! my son, my sou !" I can understand, I can reel-I have felt all this. But still, reeling deeply for those who mourn their kindred slain, knowing how and for what our sons have died, cannot each one who lins given lils children to his coun? try, concealing the grief of the father In the holy zeal or thc patriot, say proudly, aa he stands hy? the grave ot his son: "Why then. God's soldier bc he! "Had I as many sens, as I have hairs. "1 would not wish them a fairer death." It is right and proper that you should preserve the memory of our dead heroes. Would that we could erect to them a monument whose ruuuda Hons should be as eternal ns the great truths for which they died; lofty as their fume; pure as our love; lasting as our gratitude; rising proudly from tho earth that holds their clay, and pointing with its spotless shaft to that heaven where we devoutly trust that they are now at rest, lt ls a touching anil beautirul article or belier lu the creed or Hitit strange system or theology, which takes its name from its founder-?ne of the most wonderful men of the last century-that those who fall in battle lighting honestly and truly for their country, are imme? diately transported to heaven, to partake ol' thc highest joys of thal blissful abode; and though no such promise ls held out by our religion to Its votaries, it surely ls not Inconsistent With its holy spirit or divine teaching, that this may be the case. The trust of the patriot and thc faith of the Christian may then unite In hope, so full of joy and consolation, that our dead patriots "God's soldiers"-purified by the great oblation of theft" lives ror their country's liberty, standing now in the presence or thc Eternal God, looking down with grateful hearts on this solemn scene, bringing their prayers tor you, who are now man? ifesting your reverence and love for them, to the very footstools of the Throne or Grace, are Invok? ing wtih devout supplications rrom the Father of Mercies, for you. all those rich blessings which He, and He alone, can bestow. During the General's address, a shower of rain, which had been expected for an hour or more, came up and dispersed the ladies and their escorts, but the remainder of the au? dience remained and heard the speech through. At the close of the address, the audience was dismissed willi the benediction, by Rev. A. T. Porter, ox-chaplaln ol Twenty-fifth Regi? ment South Carolina Volunteers, and the crowd proceeded lo the trains, which arrived in lime to save all from getting wet-lo any great extent. The ceremonies wore, if not the most im? posing, at least as imposing as have taken place in til is section since thc war. To the Committee of Arrangements, Messrs. H. B. Olne)-, J. L. Honor, T. G.

Whereas, IL lins pleased Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, to call to his rest our friend aud brother, Dr. Louis M. DESAUSSURE, and we, the vestry and wardens are assembled, as ls most fitting, to pay our tribute of respect to his memory, as officers of the Church of Christ; therefore, Resolved, That while wc mourn the loss to the church, to the community and to his many friends, suffered in the death of our departed brother, the church, in grateful memory of the pure record of his unblemished Christian Character, his fidelity, kiuduess and usefulness as a physician, and amiable and exemplary qualities and conduct as a man, hopefully ex? pect a blissful reunion of those broken tics, be? yond the dark waters of death. " .Resolved, That we tender our sincere sympa th:es to the bereaved family of the deceased, in this their deep affliction. Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to inscribe these resolutions upon our book ol' minutes, to enclose a copy to the family of the deaceased, and to publish them in the Camden Journal and Charleston Courier and NEWS. L. H. DEAS, Chairman. Tribute of Respe Ct. SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIETT. At the regular monthly meeting of the So? ciety, held at their hall on the 14th day of June, 1870,'-'the following preamble and reso? lutions were unanimously adopted : Death, the common lot of all, removes from among us. from time to time, some one of our members, and though it is the usage ot this Society to note on its minutes simply the date ol' decease, age and period of membership, there are occasions when exception to th? usual custom may and should be made. Such a one presents itself in the recent decease of our fellow-member, RICHARD YEADON', which occurred on the 23th of April last, in the 68th year of his age, and the 40th of his membership in-this Society. His professional brethren have paid their tribute of respect and esteem to his memory, and, in like manner, have the several charita? ble associations to which he was attached, spread upon their minutes their tribute of af? fection, and, in view of his long and acilve services, we, too, hare the privilege of pour? ing out our oblation to departed worth. In his several relations of life, as citizen, legislator, advocate and counsellor, he was noted for his integrity and purity of motive. Untiring in energy, and systematic in arrange? ment, the cares and duties ot one of these rela? tions were never suffered to Interfere with those of another. As chairman of the Com? mittee on Charity of this Society, did we real? ize a fall illustration of this fact. Occupying that position ior a period of over twenty years, never did any matter referred to them, for in? vestigation and report, meet with other than prompt and immediate action, until just prior to our last anniversary, when the hand of death was upon him, and It^was no longer possible for him to perform his work. True benevolence was a distinguishing trail; in his character, and many there are who mourn thc loss of a kind benefactor, while we feel the loss of him, who, for so long a time, guided our benefactions. Such, in brief, were some of his predomi? nant characteristics in his relations to the community, but in the more tender and deli? cate ties of domestic life and private friend ships, he was no less distinguished for those traits which imparted happiness to the one, while they won sincere attachment from the other. Our friend, it is true, had his faults, but they were so overshadowed by his virtues, that by those who knew him well they were lost sight of. and lt may be truly said of him, that in all tile relations of life, he fulfilled his duties as far as lay in the power of man. Therefore, Resolved, That we sincerely lament the loss of our friend and fellow-member, RICHARD YEADON, and offer our heartfelt sympathies to his widow and the members of his family in their sad bereavement. Resolved. That the clerk do dedicate a page in the minute book to the memory and name of RICHARD YEADON. Resolved, That the clerk do transmit a copy ol' this preamble and the resolutions to the widow of the deceased. . > Unction ?alcs--(?l)is IDatj. Br HILES DRAKE. "* BOOTS, SHOES AND STRAW GOODS.
