It vas not a oontliot bc tvicou hired soldiors but of mon equal i courage and of tho sumo groat raou who wei contending for principies thoy holiovod to 1 right. Tho horoism and tho fortitude dil played by tho southern soldier in this 001 Hint has novor beon surpassed iu tho histor of thu world, Ho ooniddorod Unit ho wi contending for tho principio upon whioh ot government was founded and ho wont ini tho conlliot as a patriolio duty-, and duty wi bia watchword from Mantissas io App: emt tex.

This boautiful park has boou purohasod by tho general government, and oaoh Htato hiv ing troops ougagod in thia groat battle has boon asked to mark tho position of its troops. Many of tho 8tatos have already noted, and nearly ? half million donan* have boou ox pondod by sixteen Statoa for this purposo. Though tardy wo havo at last done our duly and today wo oomo to dodioato this inonu .moat to tho memory of tho bravo South Caro lillians who fought and foll on this historio spot. In 1803 tho goncral nssombly of South Carolina appolniod a commission to looato tho position of hor troops and in 18 J1 a oom mission to soloot suitablo monuments, but it was not until 190O that tho moans woro pro vided to completo tho work At that ses sion of tho logislaluro ni? .-.ppropriation of ?iu.OOO was made to erect ault?blo monti montH, and tho governor wa) authorized to appoint a commission of tin co members, and (hoy, with th? govornoi and tho adjutant gonoral, wore to havo ohargo of tho orootion of tho markers aud tho mouumont.

Deep gloom had seltlod upon tho Coufod orato banner In July, 18?3, for thou Vicks burg had fallen aud tito torriblo battle of Gouyabu? had boon fought.

There was not a bloodior fight in tho wholo war, whon you take iuto cousidoration tho number of troops ougagod and tito tinto of aoiuat oombat.
