Schumpert, adjutant of lie James D. Nance campl), pree, md introduced the speaker. Mr. MeDow spoke of the causes hat led u) to the war, and of tlie leroism oif,the southern soldier and of hie southlern women.

The as pn Memorial Day. sortign that slavery was the cause of that struggle was false. Every one of the thirteen.original states was a slave state. -The constitution undei wihel theylived recognized it, pro. teeted it, almost fostered it. Ti iorth did not bmeome selsitive oil til subject until it ascertained that the slave was un1suited to its elilla te aI COlditions. During fall the long year. the super-senisit ive conscience of Puritani New Eglanid was in a state of torpor on the slave question unti its climate and conditiois made it nec esary that it should get rid of it: slaves.

She fought for a noble object than mere cattle rights in th black man. She fought for the prin ciples that came down to her tincture with the blood of Revolutionary ht roes. Southern statesmen had fought fo a peaceable settlement of the issue After the north had defied the decis ion of the supreme court of the Uni ted States in the Dred Scott case trampled under foot the constituti6 as a league with death and a covenan with hell, heeded not the logical an fervid appeals of southern statesme on the floor of the national congress there was no other course left to proud and an honorable people, an, the shot and shell from Charlesto harbor rung up the eurtaill on (il bloodiest drama of iloden11 tiles. Ainother statement. that. was fals was that it was a rich man's war an a poor man's fight. The armies of th Soutlhern Confederacy were made ul from every walk in life, and they fel with their faces to the foe and thei backs to tleir homes. Tile speaker referred eloquently I( the deeds of the southern soldiers who filled the world with tile glory o their achievements. Monuments ha been erected to them, lie said, biu what have we done, what are we goin to do, for the women of the soutl who, when the ploughshare of grie went throtigh their very souls, pul th.e Bible in the pocket of the hus band or father and the sword ill hi hand, and like the Spartan mother (1 old, bade him go forth and ret uri with his shield or up)on it., D)urint that struggle they endured all an( pr'ayed on.

I always dislike to correct what any one writes, but Mr. Mitchell's sketch of the fight at Knoxville is unjust to the 3rd regiment. Tihe Campbell Sta tion fight was on the 16th (lay of No vemiber, 1863. That night the Feder als loft the station and retreated to ward1Ns Knloxville. 'rThe morning of the 17th,- 01u1 troops followed the Fede .als. It was a runtninlg fight to a short distance ft-em Knoxville. The Feder.. als 1h0( formed the line along a row of cedar ttrees about one-half mile in front of Fort Loudon. Nine compa unies of the third r'egimfenlt wet-e sent to the left of our line to try ando get ont the -flank of the Federal position. Eight companies were ill line. Compa niy B, wvas over next to the tiver, Company E was senit out as skirmnisht el-s to prlotect the i-eatr of the regi - mnt. Col. Nancee got on the flanik of the Fedleratls and1( beganl thie atttack. , Tlhe Fedlerals wereO comp)letely smi .)prisedli and took to t heiri heels. .Julst a lt this t imle, Capt. . K. I(-(.

Then Col. Nance ist was not killed tlt! first (lay of the eIt Wilderness figit. but the second day, fa the 6th of May, 1814.
