Deeds Lauded,
At a timo when the whole nation is
stircd with patriotic emotion at the return
of Admiral tJcorgo Dewey ami his
gallant men on the cruiser Olytupia and
the magnificent reception accorded to
them, the Rev. Dr. 'J'. DcWitt Talmago
in his sermon, preaching to a vast audience,
appropriately recalls for devout
and patriotic purposes some of the great
naval deeds of olden and more recent
times. Text, James iii, 4, 'Rohold

If in the first century, when war vessels
wero dependent on the oars thnt
puddled ai tho side of them for propulsion,
my text was suggestive, with how
much moro cmphasi-* and meaning and
overwhelming reminiscence we can cry
out as we see the Keaosargc lay across
the bows of the Alabama and sink it,
teaching foreign nations they had better
keep their hands off our American light,
or as we sec the ram Albemarle of tho
Confederates running out and in tho
ltoanokc and up and down the coast,
throwing everything into confusion as
no other eraft ever did, pursued by the
Miami, the Ceres, the Southtiold, tho
Sassocus, the Mattabosctt, the Whitehead,
the Commodore Hull, tho Louisiana.

vessels, all trying in vain to eaten her,
until Captain Cushing, 21 years of ago.
and his men blew her up, himself and
only 0110 other escaping, and as 1 see
the flagship Hartford, and the Kiohrnond,
and tho Monongahcla. with
other gunboats, sweep past the batteries
of Port Hudson, and tho Mississippi
flows forever free to all norcheru and
southern craft, and under the lire of
Dewey and his men the Spanish Bhips
at Manila burn or sink, and tho fleet
rushing out of Santiago harbor are demolished
by our guns, and tho brave
Cervera surrenders, 1 cry out with a patriotic
emotion that I cannot suppress
if I would, and would uot if I could,
"Behold also the ships."
Full justice has been done to the men
who at different times fought on the
land, but not enough lias been said of
those who on ship's deck dared and suffered
all things. Lord God of the
rivers and the sea. help mo in this sermon!
So, ye admirals, commanders,

Never Bincc the sea tight at Lcponlo,
where 300 royal galleys manned by 50,000
warriors, at sunrise, Sept. C, 1571,

men, and in the four hours of battlo
8,0( 0 fell on one side and 25,000 on the
other; yea, never since the day when at
Actiuui, 31 years before Christ, Augustus
with 2G0 ships scattered the 220
ships of Mark Antony and trained universal
dominion as tho prize; yea, since
the day when at Salamis the 1,200 galleys
of the Persians, manned by 500.000
men, were crushed by Creeks with
less than a third of that force; yea,
nevor bincc the time of Noah, tho lirst
ship captain, has the world seen such a
miraculous creation as that of the
American navy in 1801.
In the cemeteries for Federal and
Confederate dead are tho bodies of
most of those who fell on tho land.
Jiut where those are who went down in
the war vessels will not be known until
the sea gives up its dead. The .Jack

honors of war for tho hndios r?f thoan

graves of those who went down at sea?

A life on Ihe ocewi va?o,

According to his own statement, Farragut
was very loose in his morals in
early manhood and practiced all kinds
of sin. One day he was called into tho
cabin of his father, who was a shipmas
tor. His father said, "David, what arc
yon going to bo anyhow?" He answer
ed, "I am going to follow tho sea."
"Follow the sea," said the father, "and
bo kicked about tho world and die in a
foreign hospital?" "No," said David;
"1 am going to command like you."
"No," said tho father; "a boy of your
habits will never command anything."
And his father burst into toars and lcpt
the cabin. From that day David Farragut
started on a new life.
Captain Pennington, an honored
cldor of my Brooklyn church, was with
him in most of his battles and had his
intimate friondship, and ho confirmed,
what I had heard olscwhoro, that Fa ragut
was good and Christian. In evory
great crisis of life he asked and obtained
muj'niiic uirecuon. vv non in i>loble
bay the monitor locumseh sank from a
torpedo and the great warship Hrooklyn,
that was to lead the squadron,
turned back, he said ho was at a loss to
know whether to advanco or rotroat,
and ho says: "I prayed. 'O God,
who created man and gavo him reason,
direot me what to do. Shall 1 go on?'
And a voice commanded me, 'Goon,'
and I went on." Was thore over a
more touching Christian letter than
that which ho wrote to his wifo from
hiH -flagship Ilartfoid? "My dca est
wife, 1 write and leave this lotter for
you. I am going into Mobile bay in
the morning if God is my leader, and I
hope he is, and in him 1 place my trust.
If ho thinks it is the proper placo for
me to die, I am roady to submit to his
will in that as all other things. God
bless and preserve you, my darling, and
my dear boy, if anything should happen
to mo. May his blessings rest upon
you and your dear mother."
Cheerful to tho end, he said on
board tho Tallapoosa in tho last voyage
he over took, "1 would bo woll if I
died now in harness." Tho sublime
Episcopal sorvice for tho dead was
never moro,appropriately rendered than
over his oaskot, and well did all tho
forts of New York harbor thunder as
his body was brought to tho wharf, and
well did tho minute gum wound and
the bells toll as in a proeessiou having
in its ranks the president of tho United
States aud his oabiuot and tho unghty
men of land and sea tho old admiral
was carried, amid hundreds of thousands
of uncovered heads on Broadway,
and laid on his pillow of dust in boau
tiful Woodlawn, Sopt. .'It), amid tho
pomp of our autumnal forests.
Hut just as much am 1 slitrod a* tho
socno on warship's deck before Santiago
last summer, when tho victory gamed
for our American flag over Spanish oppression
the captain took ofF his hat
and all the sailors and soldiers did tho
sumo aud silently thoy otVcrcd thanks
to Almighty God for what had been accomplished,
aud when on another ship
tho soldiers and sailors were cheering
as a Spanish vessel sank and its offioors
mm UlUWH woro Struggling 111 tl\o wipers
and the captain of our warship cried
out, "Don't ehcor; tho poor fellows arc
drowning." Prayors on dock! Prayers
in tho forecastle! Prayovs in tho
cabin! Prayers in tho hammocks!
Prayers on tho lookout at midnight!
The battlos of that war opeuod with
prayor, woro pushed ou with prayer
and elosod with p.ayor, and today tho
American natiou recalls them with
prayer.
Wo hail with thanks the new generation
of naval heroes, those of tho year I
1893. Wo are too near their matvelous
deeds to fully approciato tlicm. A
century from now poetry and sculp.ure
and painting and history will do tlibm
better justice than wo can do ibcm
now. A defeat at Manila would have
been an iniinito disaster. Foreign
nations not ovorfond of our Amoi.can
institutions would havo joined tho other
side, and tho war so many months past
would have been raging still, sod per
Imps a hundred thousand graves would
have opened to takedown our slain soldiers
and .sailors. It took this country
throe years to got over the disaster
at Hull Hun at the opening of theeivil
war. llovv many years it would nave
required to recover from a defeat at
Manila in the opening of tho Spanish
war I cannot say. Hod nvoriod the
calamity by giving triumph t<> our navy
under Admiral Dowey, whose eom:ng
up through the Narrows of Now York
harbor day before yesterday was greeted
by the nation whose welcoming cheers
will not cease to resound until tomorrow.

To tho Friends, Bolativos, and Surviv
ors of tho Old First Brigade:
Tho publisher of "Dickort's History
of Kershaw's Brigado" takes pleasure
in announcing that this work has passed
boyniul its doubtful stago, and is
now a reality. Tho work of printing is
now well under way, and will soon be
ready for tho binder. It is tho wish of
those who havo undertaken the publication
of the historv fo mitu ?i ?"
bomo-liko, roalistio, and attractive as
possible, and nothing will add moro to
thiH purposo than having it ombollished
with cuts and engravings of thoso who
led and commanded, for so loug a time
and undor such trying ordeals, this noble
band of immortals. They would
oven like to have the outs of all wore
it possible or practioal, but this not being
tho caso, thoy will have to content
themselves with only tho illustrations
of the captains (or company commandcrs),
colonels, and brigadiors, and their
held and Btalf officers.
As wo have said at the outset of this
undertaking, the history is not writton
nor published for gain or profit, but
more as a memorial volume, and the
publisher doos not fool warranted from
a financial point of view, in making this
outlay of ready cash to meet those requirements.
As tho author has spent
ho much of his time, to say nothing of
tho expense, in getting up this memorial
to the worth and valor of his obi
comrades, without compensation; it is

without additional exponso to tho person

Capt. Dickcrt has written a valuable
history, and as a record of the
ovents, a description of battles and
camp life, skotchcs of officers, and tho
lifo of a soldier as seen from the ranks
and the battle line, it stands unrivaled
as a history from tho Confederate
standpoint, and it is now a duty the
friends and survivors of the Old First
Hrigado owe to their ohildrcn and to
postority to furnish these illustrations
as a litting tribute to the brave officers,
dead and alivo, whs so often led thoir
troops to victory. Pictures of photos
