Illjlgjll ;si; c. Wednesday Morning:, Juno 22,1870. Tho Morality of Patton Cain. It cannot be denied that the "Parson" has an eye ever to the main chance. We have recently seen a speoimen of his mo rede. Ho is advising his colored friends how to receive money for their votes-in case it ?honid be tendered. He says this preacher of a Gospel of infinite TBUTH and PUBITX-"If they offer you money, take it, and vote against them every time. " This is OoDgo Ethics-this is Ashantee Morality, we presume. Addreaa by General Hampton. As several material errors ooourred in the published address of Gen. Hampton, _ou laying the corner-stone to tho memory . of the members of the Washington Light infantry, in Magnolia Cemetery, Charles? ton, we republish it this morning, ns ?orrocted by the General: ?Colonel Simonton introduced General 'Wade Hampton, the orator of the occa? sion, who was received with applause. The General, addressing the President and gentlemen of the Washington Light .Infantry Charitable Aesooiation, said: in accepting the position assigned to me by your kindness, in the solemn cere? monies of the day, many and conflicting emotions stirred my heart. On the ono hand, said he, a painful oonsoiousness of .-my inability to discharge the task im? posed ia a manner worthy of tho occa? sion, oppresses me and bids mo keep eilent; white on the other hand, a sense of duty to my living, as well as my dead (Comrades, impels me to join in this de? monstration of honor to those who aro sleeping beneath the soil they gave their lives to defend. Let me, then, pisco on their tomb a votive offering, which, un? worthy as it m,ay be of our noble dead, has.at least the merit pf coming from a Jaearb filled with sympathy for the cause in which they fell; admiration for their flevoted patriotism and heroic courage; respect and affection for their memory, And profound grief for their untimely .death. There are other motives, scarce? ly less-potent, why my voioe should not ?be silent on any occasion where honor is paid to the living' or dead of the Wash? ington Light Infantry. . Have you forgotten, comrades, of that gallant corpa? I shall always remember it with pride, that when our State called her sons to defend her, and that com? mand was organized-whose glorious banner, unsullied by any stain of defeat, .untarnished by any breath of dishonor, was borne so heroically through the storm of nearly every great historio bat? tle of the war-it was the Washington Light Infantry that gave me tho first company of the Hampton Legion. Car you suppose that I have forgotten thc men ot "Company A?" that company which for four years of heroio thougt .unequal war, stood always unshaken OE the right of the Legion? Can I forgel that devoted friend, that unselfish pa trio t, that gallant soldier, that no bio gen tleman, Johnson, who was your first ant' one of your costliest sacrifices laid 01 tho altar of our country? Cau I forgel the gifted Pettigrew, who lived lon; enough to achieve an undying glory foi himself, but who died too soon for hi; mourning country? Standing over th? :graves which hold the hallowed dust o so many patriotic soldiers, looking upoi yonder tomb, where aro inscribed tin names of forty-five of my loved ant ?trusted comrades of that single company whioh you gave me, how can I forgot tin men who fought and died by my side Gan I, turning from the lameuted deac to the honored living, looking once agaii upon the familiar faces of the men whon danger taught mo to trust-forget th friends who never betrayed that trust Can I look upon Connor, as he lean upon those crutohes, which tell proudb how nobly he discharged his duty, nm then forget the Washington Light Tn fantry? Oh, nol my friends. Memo rios and associations such as these, ar amongst the most cherished though sad ?lent of my heart, and tboy bind mo t my old comrades by ties which dent] may, but nothing else, can over sevei They remind me, too, of my duties t the dead, and amongst them thero i ?tone more sacred than that which call upon me to vindicate their motives, t praise their patriotism, to commend thei example, and to protect their memory These are the duties whioh devolve upo us, the sad survivors of that gallant bau who, at the call of their Stato, rallied t her defence. Mourning over tho grave of "our slain," who, "for faith and fo .freedom, lay slaughtered in vain;" stant ing amid the wreck of our dearest hope: looking at the ruin of our country, wi ueBsing the steady but rapid overthro of Republicau institutions and constiti tional liberty, what is left to cheer us t future exertion but the hallowed meint ries of the past-that past which wi made glorious by our groat dead. Ami that nobie and, alas, vast throng, nor have done higher honor to their Stab none deserve deeper gratitude, than tL men who died in her causo. Not unt death has placed his etornal seal upc tho living, and stamped with his irrovi cable decree all the actions of the being, can they bo truly estimated. TL judgment we pass upon our contcmpi raries ia too ofton warped by onvy, je lousy, peraoual dislike, or political pr judie?; and it is not until death h closed their career hore that we can r cognize thc greatness of their actions, < tho integrity of their purposes. Tl men to whom you dedicate this mon mont as a testimonial of your respoc gratitude and affection, have passed tl last droad ordeal, and we deem tho worthy to bo enshrinod in a pooph heart, and to receive the grateful plau its of a people's voice I f . A. people's .voicer W* are ? people yet, \ Thc? ?ll men olae their nobler dreams forset; Confused by brainiest- mobs and lawless powers, Wo have a voice with which to pay the debt Of boundless love and reverence and regret To tnoss great men who fought and kept it 0'u..'? They fought to vindicate the great truths enunciated in '76, and to defend their inalienable rights established by our fathers, and bequeathed to ns as our noblest heritage. For these they fought in vain; and of all the attributes of free? dom, there is left to us only a people's voice, which, though stifled, calls Hea? ven to witness that we wore sincere and honest in tho convictions which prompt? ed our actions, which still asserts our unshaken faith in the justice of our cause, and which, rising from ovory heart in our desolate land, utters lamentations for the preoions blood that was so lavish? ly but so vainly shed in our country's canse. We, my friends, who were the actors in that mighty drama which for four years filled the world's stage, may not be competent to pronounce an im? partial judgment as to the justice of that causo. Time, with its soothing influ enoo, must elapse, and the passions en? gendered by the war must cool, before tho record can be fully made up for his? tory to pronounce her final verdict. Believing that Truth, Bight and Justice were on our side, we submit our case, without one doubt, to the impartial judgment of posterity, reserving to our? selves the right of appeal to the Great Tribunal above, where tho Supreme Judgo of tho Universe, who reads our hearts, will pronounce that decreo which will, through all eternity, justify or oon demn us. We know that the men whose names aro written on that marble, be? lieved, as firmly as they did in tho exist? ence of a God, in the justice of the cause for which they died; wo know that they sacrificed peace, comfort, life, to encoun? ter war, privation, death, at tho call und tho service of their State; and knowing this, wo placo thom high on the roll of thoso patriotic and heroic dead who make np the great army of martyrs of Liberty. Nor should their memory be less dear to ns, or less honored, because they fell in a oause which God, in Hie providence, hos seen fit to let fail. The heathen may deify the conquering hero, while he condemns those who fail, tc exile, chains or death, for with him, succoss is the only criterion of merit, but not so tho Christian. Bight, truth, justico contribute the standard by whiot ho measures all things. Tho test he ap ?dios to the actions of men, is the law which God Himself has made. By thu law, wo can distinguish tho lines whicl divide right from wrong, ns readily nt we eau recognize those which separat? light from darkness. We kuow that it the economy of God, evil is often per mitted to prevail over good on this earth We soe virtue trampled into dust by vice We see liberty prostrate at the feet o tyranny. We see religion superseded Iv fanaticism. Intolligouco, virtue, putri otism thrust aside, while ignorance, vic and selfishness usurp the high places o tho earth. These are the apparent auo malies which strike ns, when we conside the Almighty government of this world But when guided by the light of revela tion, we look moro closely iuto the wondrous system, and comprehend mor fully the scheme of that faith, whic springing from Calvary, is lighting wit its sublimo truths every corner of th earth, we can reconcile tho diflicultie which stand in our way. That religior taught by the Saviour, whioh wo profess nowhere promises that we shall be r< warded in this world for well doing. 1 does not promise that virtue shall hoi triumph, while vice is punished; it doe not promise that tho oause of liberty sustained though it may bo by trutl courage, patriotism, will necessarily BU? cecd wheu it has to contend with uni censed power, directed by ambitioi hatred and fear. No such promises ai held out by the Divine Founder of ot religion to his followors. On the coi trary, they aro explicitly told that o this earth they are to look for triuls, di appointments and afflictions; that the will often soe the powers of darknei holding high carnival of crime, whei they hoped to eeo virtue exercising h< benign and peaceful sway; that it dot not como within the scope of the Chri t inn religion to punish evil and to re wai the good in this world, and that nt until the last trump shall summon tl quick and tho dead to judgment, will tl great Judge reotify all the wrong punish all the crimes and reward all tl virtues whioh have excited her sinoo tl foundation of the earth. It is this sa' limo faith that sustains the Christi! patriot as he struggles to bear his ov afflictions, or mourns over his country loss of liberty; for he knows that if 1 has discharged his duty to his God ai to his country, he will sooner or lat surely reap an exceeding great reward Let us, then, my friends aud comrade sling with unrelaxing grasp and unshaki sonfidenco to the faith that is in us. L not tho angry threats of oppression the ayron voice of temptation drivo illaro us to forsake it. Above all, ! oot misled by that unmeaning jarg< which tells you that your cause was su mitted to tho arbitrament of arms, ai that tho sword has decided that eau igainst you. Tho sword has novor, u will it over, decido a principle or est blish a truth. It can, as it has oft lone, overthrow a just causo and ma might tako the placo of right; but it c never reverso tho immutable laws Clod, and mako what is ovil nppoar rig in His sight. A noblo oause, upheld 1 roioally by honor, courage and patrii ism, may dio along with its supporte A great truth never dies; bnt eternal tho God-head from which it springs, lives forever, amid all the changes of c' nasties, the wreck of empires, and t death ot nations. It is, too, as false fact as in logic, to assert that tho swe nan or does deoide justly between rig ?nd wrong. With the sword, tho Gol and Vandals drenched the fair fields Italy with tho best blood of her soi -. -?. ?rA-' It gave nearly half tho world to Maho? met. It allowed the Torfe* . to trample oat the civilization of Greoou. Its keen edgo has'diamomborod Poland. Ii ha? loft Hnrrgary blooding at the feet of the oppressors. ? , It has tamed over Spain and Porto gn to the tender ra ero i es of the Saracen,land on this continent and in oar day, directed by unscrupulous power against the throats of prostrate States, reeking with fratricidal blood, it enforces tho laws whioh it alone has made. Tell me not, then, that tho sword caa rightfully turn the scales of justice. It is the exponent of tyranny, not the arbitrator of truth-the badge of the tyrant and tho exocutiouor, not tho sym? bol of justice. It is not nt all inconsist? ent with theso views that we. as a con? quered people, should observe scrupu? lously tho terms dictated by the sword and accepted by us. We cnn do this, and should do it, in perfect good faith; but we should claim and esorciso the God-given right of freedom of opinion. We acknowledge that the cause for whieh those meu died is lost, but wo should be falso to them, false to that cause, wore wo to admit that they were, because of failure, necessarily wrong. We believe that they were right, and wo therefore honor and respect their memo? ry. If they wore right, time will vindi? cate tho action and record their fame. If wrong, "It was a griovous fault, And grievously have they answered it." We, comrades of the Washington Light Infantry, wo who gave our all to the Hinno cause in whioh our brothers fell, can entertain no doubt as to the place which will be accorded them by history. Stigmatized now as rebels, posterity will, we hopo and believe, give to them the more appropriate name of patriots. Be? lieving this, we fear not to accept from tho conqueror tho epithet of rebel. Our ancestors had once tho same term applied to them, and I accept as a oomplete re? futation of all dishonor attached to the word the noble language usod in regard to it by a great statesman and patriot of England. "The term rebel," said Chas. Fox, "is no certain mark of disgrace. For all the great apostles of liberty, tho saviors of their oouutry, the benefactors of mankind, ia all ages have boen called rebels, and we oven owe tho constitution which enables us to Bit in this house to a rebellion." Nor are there wanting mon at tho North who, rising high above tho preju? dices of their section, and tho trammels of popular opinion, dara to assert in language as lofty, sentiments as noble as those so eloquently expressed by this great orator. It was my good fortune, on a recent occasion in New York, to hear ono who would bo an honor to any country, address an audience composed of Southern as well as Northern mon. In touching tho grent issues which had so lately arrayed the two sections in war, he drow a glowing picture of patriotism. He told us how this virtue, beginning with ono's family, spreads in ever-widen? ing waves till it embraced all we have at country; and then turning to the South? erners who were present, ho brought tears of gratified pride to their eyes b\ exclaiming: "And, gentlemen, the onhj reason why you will not hereafter be re garded aa the noblest patriots who evei lived, is simply because it has happenec that George Washington fought in thc same cause before you did." You, my friends, of tho Light Infan try, who bear tho name the Father o his Country hus mado immortal, mus1 feel your hearts swell with patriotic prid< when you know that the great and gooc of other lands deem you not unworthy to be placed alongside of Washington Yo.i bear his name, and you have ptovei yourselves worthy to do so. Thero an other historic associations of peculia and proud interest, which connects you organization closely with the great nam' it bears. Amid that grand group of revo lutionnry heroes who illustrated by thei deeds in the great rebellion of '76, in tin history of South Carolina, no name i held in higher esteem than that of Wm Washington, tho worthy kinsman am follower of his illustrious namo-sake On the bloody fields of Cowpens am Eutaw, his glorious banner-tho preciou gift of devoted woman-swept througl carnage to victory. That same banne of Washington, whioh had boen conse crated by tho prayers of woman-bap tized in the best blood of Carolina sanctified by tho causo of freedom ii which it had waved-venerated by on whole people as tho symbol of victory tho ensign of liberty-was committed b Washington's widow to the Washingtoi Light Infantry, and her own honore' hands presented it. When she gave thi flag whioh her patriot husband had s nobly borne through tho war of indc pendence, she solemnly adjured you company to defend it, if aoed be, wit their lives, and to maintain its bono unsullied, und to bo forever true to th great cause-the cause of freedom-i whioh it had first been unfurled. Me of tho Washington Light Infantry, sou of mon who fought by the side of Mt rion, of Sumter, of Moultrie, of Piel ons, of Rutledge, of Huger, and c Washington, how havo you kept thl solomn charge? Lot Manassas, and Sc cessionville, and Seven Pines, an Sharpsburg, aud Cold Harbor, an Gaines' Mill, and Malvern Hill, and Drt ry's Bluff, and Fort Sumter, aud Poten burg, and Battery Wagner, andBontoni ville, aud Chickamauga, and Fredoricki burg, and n sooro of other gloriou battlo-fields, inscribed in imporishab] letters on that immortal banner of youri answer. You, the mon who stand her to-day, and thoso whoso uamos are wri tea on yonder slab, have fought unde tho same flag, ia the same cause you fathers did, aad fought with a patriotic as lofty, a courage as high, a devotio m noble, as ever animated the hearts c your patriot sires. You have prove that the blood whioh flows ia your veil is not degenerate, and that you have bee worthy custodians of the precious oharj; entrusted to your keeping. Be trui then, each of you, I conjure you, no and ever, whatever trials, vicissitudes, or Bufferings beset you, to your lineage, your principles, your renown. "Let all the ends thoa aim'st at be thy God's, thy Country's and Truth's; then if thoa fallest, thou fallest a blessed martyr." Besides all these incentives to noble actions, presented hy the great traditions and hallowed memories of the past, yon have many others connected with the formation and history of your corps, and in the sacred objeots contemplated now by your association. You caunot forget that tho Washington Light Inlantry owes its existence to tho patriotic im? pulse 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 re? call to your memory the nauio of your Grat captain-a uamo justly dour to every Carolinian's heart, honored wherever in? tegrity of purpose, purity of lifo, power of intellect, aro cstoomed-the name of ono, of whom Honry Clay said: "Of all the mon I have ever known, tho bejt mau, tho wisest, the purest, and tho grentest statesman, was Wm. Lowndes?" On tho roll of your company, illustrated first by this great name, are to bo found many others worthily distinguished in tho annals of our State, fit successors of your illustrious captain. Nor need yon fear to place tho record you made for yourselves during tho lato war by the sido of that of any other command, nor to compare the officers and mon whom you gave to tho "Lost Cause," with any who sorvod the Confederacy. Iou gave throo general officers-Pettigrew, Con? ner and Logan-all worthily distinguish? ed in that causo, and with them, as field officers, Johnson, DeTrevilloand Simon ton, whilo almost every command from this Stato drew from your ranks, so pro? lific of gallant soldiers, many of its most efficient subaltern officers and men. How tho rauk and file of tho Washington Light Infantry did their ?luty to their country is told in mute, but eloquent language, by the lou g list of houored names that meet your eyes on this monu? ment, which you have dedicated reve? rently and affectionately to your noble dead. Well worthy are they of all the honor you can pay them, for they surely fell blessed martyrs; and this convictiou on our part is full of comfort to those who seo the names of their kindred writ? ten on the South's roll of honor, that list which records her dead. I know how vain is all human conso? lation to tho heart that is called upon to give up some object around which tho tenderest affections cluster. I know that many a pareut in our mourning land, as ho looks through eyes blinded b}' thc 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 of ono who was his pride, his hope, his darling, cries out in tho pa? thetic language wrung from a bereaved father's heart: "Oh, my son Absalom! my son, my sou Absalom! Would God I had died for thee! O, Absalom! my son, my soul" I can understand, I can feel-I havo felt all this. But still, feel? ing deeply for those who mourn their kindred slain, knowing how and for what our Bons hove died, cannot each ono who has given his children to his country, concealing the grief of tho father iu tho holy zeal of tho patriot, say proudly, as he stands by tho grave of his son : "Why, then, God's aoldior he lie! Had I as many sons as I have hairs, I would not wish thom a fairer death." It is right and proper that you should preserve the memory of our dead heroes. Would that wo could erect to them monument whose foundations should bo as eternal as the great truths for which they died; lofty us their fame; pure as our love; lnstiug ns our gratitude; rising proudly from tho earth that holds their clay, aud pointing with its spotless shaft to that heaven whoro wo devoutly trust that they are now at rest. It is a touch? ing and beautiful article of belief in the creed of that strange system of theology which takes its name from its founder ono of tho most wonderful men of the last century-that those who fall in bat? tle fighting honestly and truly for their couutry, are immediately transported to heaven, to partakoof tho highest joys of that blissful abode; and though no such promise is held out by our religion to its votaries, it surely is not incousistent with its holy spirit or divine teaching, that this may be tho case. The trust of the patriot and the faith of the Christian may then unite iu hope, so full of joy and consolation, that oar dead patriots "God's soldiers"-purified by tho great oblation of their lives for their country's liberty, standing now in tho prcscuce of the Eternal God, looking down with grateful hearts on this solemn scene, bringing their prayers for you, who aro now manifesting your reverence and love for them, to the very foot-stool of tho Throne of Grace, aro invoking with de? vout supplications from tho Father of Mercies, for you, all those rich blessings which He, and Ho alone, can bestow.
