GENfcHAL BUTLtH'S SPEECH
At the mivoiliiij*- of tli?* Wade Ham
pton statue at Columbia, m. C,
General Butler said in part:
I lie story of Wade Hampton's
lite brt4 t<? the rounder* of tha '
State. Those gkwious men who had
taken issues with the mother coun
try hud bepucatlied the 'divine right
U> rule' to every citizen of this coun
try. Among (huso men, battling for
their country's rights was found a
Hampton. General Wade Hampton,
in whose honor this ptatue is erected,
was one of those who opposed separ
ate secession of a Stiite, hut uJwn th_'
long debate was adjoined to the bat
tlefield he saw his duty to his State
and did it. He had no doubt in his
mind as to where his first allegiance
.was duo.
"It has been the speaker's purpose
to review General Hampton's milita
ry record, and to thut end he ha*
written to the War Department, re
questing to be furnished with such in
lormation as the government possess
ed on the military services of Gener-C
al. Hampton.
He had found on investigation and
reflection that it would require a vol
ume to do justice to such a career
as Hampton's. The battles mentioned
the baso of the monument were
but a few of the lights he was en
gaged in. Want of space forbade
mention of more, but as he thought
of old days, what an array of bat
tles rose up before him.
lie had often bgj'n asked if Ham
ton were a laetieTnti, and in klic nar
row serine of that word, he would
answer, "No." lie seriously doubted
if Hampton ever read a book on tac
tics in his life. He was lirst a cit
izen, not,a soldier. Hut in the broad
er sense, General Hampton was a
grand tactician.. He knew how to
seize the advantage points in a fi;dd
I'Of battle far better than most com
manders, and the enemy was always
.guessing where he would strike next.
He kept them mystelied.
He said Hampton stalked the ene
my like .he was hunting big game. A*.
an instance in jwint, he cited Trevil
lian's station, where Hampton had de
feated the enemy with odds of 4hree
to one against him, and had thereby
cheeked one of Grant's grand move
ments.,.
"It was due to General Hampton,
after General ?J. E. H. Stuart's death
in April, 18(54, that ho received'the
appointment of Lieutenant General,
but for some reason the appointment
was tempororily withheld and he d|d
not receive it until the following
year."
General Butler here- traced in de
tail some of the stirring incidents of
the war, citing instances of conspic
uous gallantry, and mentioned Maj.
Tlteo. G. Baker, as having been left
for dend, when lie was here on the
stand, forty-odd years afterwards.
In regard to the burning of Co
lumbia, he gave a graphic account,
never before-made. He said that he
(Butler) was ordei'ed to remain in
charge of the evacuation and see that
no net of offense was committee. Ho
remained in the city three hours af
ter General Hampton had quitted it
and personally saw that no fire had
been started and when he left, just
ahead of Sherman's advance guard
there was no fire in the city.
It was perfectly clear that the fire
begun after all Confederate .troops
had left the city for many hours.
General Butler gave a graphic ac
count ?also of the nominatibu ? of
HamptW*in 1870 and cited thespeach
he mad^. He also called attention to
Hampton's message and letters as
containing wi?e deliverances, in clas
sic phrase. ?
He predicted that Hampton would
go down the centuries with increasing
fame and thai 110 brighter example
could be chosen by the youth of the
j State. His .peroration was pathetic
and impressive.
At the conclusion of the nddrcss
the students of Winthrop, the Colum
bia^ Female College and tin? College
for Women and the school children
from this and other cities sang tlie
["Bonnie Blue Flag," and other pa
I'triotic airs while the Dnuglilers of
j the Confederacy banked the monu
ment with garlands and wrpaths.
Hampton in History.
Significant is the fact that just 30
| years ago all eyes were turned to
i Hampton. At every railway station
I anxious crowds were assembled to
catch any news that might be afloat.
Hourly messages came and went from
one end of the State to the other.
I Here in Columbia angry crowds sing
ed to and fro. No man knew what
an hour might bring forth. The one
supreme figure, calm and unruffled,
that kept his head through all the
storm, was Wade Hampton. On hi*
broad shoulders rested the fate of a
l>eople.
The people trusted not in vain. He
rose to the occasion saw that con
flict with the Federal authorities must
bo avoided at all hazards, met the ex
cited crowd of his fellow-countrymen
at Democratic headquarters and tuid
-tiwrtr"rnr-^?-Tion>e?that was all.
~ "1 her? elected Governor of
South Carolina and by the eternal God
* shall be (Governor, or else there shall
be none. Disperse quietly and go to
your home." Those were his words
I Now thirty yeatx after, Wade
Hampton sleeps beneath a great live
oak W Trinity churchyard, and what
ttiiaitfcof bias is bis memory and the
?memorials tW * ^cp!e? wve have
inetui to him. ^

broken. Blood stains have been found
in his house, and there were signs
that something had been draped

In this letter the Hev. Mr. Crapsey,
