Tho total height of tho monument is 33 feet: Tho work was dono by tho Stewart Stono oompany of Columbia, and rcfloots tho highest orcdit on thoir artistio tasto and skill. Mr. Stovrart was hero to seo tbat ovorything was all right. Tho troo rcaohod horo only Mouday. It was mado by tho Aiuos foundry of Chioopco, Mass , and Mr Stowart is Justly proud of the fino pieoo of work. Nunc havo found fault. It was nearly -1 o'olook Monday ovonidg when tho South Carolina Provisional regiment marohing in tino stylo, making a most nroditablo appearanoo, headed by Col. Wilio .Jones on a handsome black horse, mado the asoent to Soodgrass Hill and thero stood at pro sent arms as tho contingent of veterans pasBod followed by the members of tho commission, tho governor and staff and distinguished guests, tho sponsors and tho young ladios who wcro to do tho uuvciling Thero was quito a gathoring waiting near tho stand. Tho monument itsolf was voiled with tho Confederate colors, rod and whito, and botwoon tho folds peorod tho bronzo faco of tho statuo of tho Confcdorato soldiers on the sidos as if sflouting. On tho extreme roar of tho stand was drapod a vory large United States fUg On tho stand, to he boroo by men who had fought under thorn, woro tho tattor^d and torn flags of tho Tenth, Twonty fourth and Sovouth South Carolina regiments. As tho party wont upon tho stand, tl o rcgimont was dismissed and tho men listened to tho speeches. Gov. MoSwoonoy prosided as chairman of tho oommisaisn. Noar him upon tho stand sat Gon Walker, Gen. Capers, Gen. Boynton, Col. <J. 1). Blanding, of Mexican war fame, Gon. Carwilo, Gon. Floyd, tho llov. no.

Tho banner of Camp Hampton of Columbia, borne by Mr. L. C. Levin, was dooorated with a magnifioont wreath of palmetto whioh was afterwards plaood on tho monumont. At 4:15 Gov. MoSwooney oponod tho proooedin^s by introduoing as tho son of that distinguished South Carolina |vsoldior, Gen. Kershaw, tho llov. John Korshaw of Charleston, who mado the oponing prayor. TIIE GOVERNOR. Gov. MoSwooney then spoko aa follows, being ohocred to the echo whun the names of various horoos woro montionod: Fellow Countrymen: More than a generation haa passed since the day of oarnage which made this spot historic, when foeman met foreman worthy of his steel in this bloodywontcst. It wu not a oonfliot between hired soldiers but of men equal in .courage and of the same great raoe who were oontending for prinoiples they believed to be right. The heroism and the fortitude die played by the southern soldier In thin conflict has never been surpasied in the history of the world, lie considered that he was contending for the principle upon which our government was founded and he wont into the conflict oh a patriotic duty, and duty was hi* watchword from Man annas to Appa mattox. On no other hypotheeiH can you explain tjie privation aud the nattering which he Bo cheerfully and readily endured. This spirit of patriotism prevailed not only among the men of the south, but the woman, like the Spartan mothers of old, sent their sons and 'oved ones to the front with a cheerfulness horn of a patriotism that will make any people great. From the first gun at Fort Sumter until arms were stacked at Appomattox they endured hardships and privations with a fortitudo rarely equalled and never excelled. And when the Confederate soldier stacked his arms and furled forever the,flag which he had followed through viotory and defeat and turned his face homeward, shattered and worn, there were no vain regrets for the part he had played in the great drama of war, but with a ohcerfulness unparrelled aud a spirt undaunted he began .anew the battle of life and the work of rebuilding his lost fortunes and today there is no ono more ready or more witling to respond to the defense ot o r common country than the Con federate soidier. This was demonstrated in our last war with Spain when Joe Wheeler savel the day at Sautingo aud young llagley laid his life upontho altar of his couutry. It is meet aud right that we should perpetuate liis memory iu bronze aud stone, but better still that it should he embalmed iu tht hearts aud lives of those who are to come after us. This we can do and at the same lime accept the result of the combat and still be true to the flag. This is a proud day for South Carolina. This beautiful park has boon purchased by the genoral government, and each State having troops engaged in this great battle has been asked to mark the position of its troops. Many of tho States have already acted, and nearly a half million dollars have been expended by sixteen States for this purpose Though tardy wo hav? ut l.i?l .1 >?<> -p- " "" ' " *4"'*~ V*VMV WM* v?v?vjr and today wo eouio to dedioate thin monument to tho memory of the bravo South G'aro lLnians who fought and fell on this historic Bpot. ' Iii 1803 the gonernl assembly of South Carolina appointed a oomuiiision to looato tho position of her troops and in 18.M a com mission to select suitable monuments, but it was not until 10(M> that tho means wore provided to complete the work At that bch eion of the legislature an appropriation of *10 ,000 was mado to eroot suitatdo monumcntH, ami tho governor was authorized to appoint a commission of three members, and they, with the goveruoi and tho adjutant general, were to havo charge of tho erection of the markerH and tho monument. By authority of that act I appointid as tho other members of this commission (Ion. C. I. VValkor, of Charleston, Col. J. Harvey Wilson, of Sumter, and Captain 0. K. Henderson, of Aiken, 1 am proud that 1 have the opportunity of taking part iu thoso ceromonies and 1 rejoice at tho consummation to which this day brings us iu tho completion and dedication of this monument. It is a glad day for all true sons of tho Palmetto Htato. Hoop gloom had settled upon tho Confederate banner in July, 1803, for tiny* Vioksburg had fallen and tho torrihlo battle of (letiyabug had been fought. Thoso disasters were not enough, but Confederate energy seemed paralyzed so far as tho army under (Jon. Bragg was concerned, for the Uuited Htaics forces under Koscerans had by forco of nutnbor and superb military equipment driven tho Army of the West through Chattanooga into north Georgia along tho hanks of the Chickamauga. The idea was seized upouhy tho military authorities at Richmond to roinforco tho depleted columns under Bragg by two divisions of liongstrccts's oorps to bo commanded by that old war horso, Gen. J. B. Hood. So hurried wore the movements of the reinforceing columns that Longstroet could not havo his artillery to reach tho battlefield of Chicknmauga, but the two divisions under Mubaws and Hood wore assigned to the command of the loft wing of Gon. Bragg s army. On the day oftbo20th ofSeptemhor, 18<>3, two giants in warfare grappled from right to lolt trorn runriso to sunset Tho Yankee left was ooininauded by that suporh soldier, Gen. George 11. Thomas, and todislargo that forco Gen. Bragg ordered every etlort to he made, hut I homas hold his ground too firmly to yield the field there. Tho old war horse rt I ll.? -1 _ l. eu.,vv. |>.VEH>VVI lll? I HIIMJl' ngni nild centre with his troops and sonio cf the Yankees unilor Gordon Granger and Wood, and by the uso of twelve or twenty pieces of artillery at an auglo the left wing of the Yankee army under Thomas gave way. This left the entire tleld in the possession of tho Confederates. It is a glorious retleolion that tho valor of South Carolina troops under Kershaw on the left nnd Manigault on the right oontributed so largely to this magnificent viotory, and it is a matter of history that the South Carolina troops through Kershaw's brigado made tho farthest advance on Snougrass Mill. There was not a bloodier fight in tho whglo war, when you take into co sidoration the number of troops engaged and the tuno of actual oombat. Otlioiai reports show that ktiled, wounded and missing were over thirty-three per cent of all the troops actually engaged. On tho union side the loss in this battle of a number of regiments was liny per cent, of the men ougaged and tho same loss was sustained by tho troops on the other side and Gou. Kougstreet in his history says that his command lost in two hours nearly forty-four per cent, of iis strength. "Tho charge of tho light brigado at bataklava has been made famous in song and history, yet there were thirty union reginiciuttt that each lost 10 per cent, more men at Chiekamauga and many Confederate regiments whoso mortality exceeded this." On the night of this day it was that Gen. Hreckenridgo in answering the oall of the Mouth CaroLiua troops said: "1 will not say to whom the credit is due, hut this is the first occasion upon which I have boon allowed to sleep with uiy troops on a battlefield which hai been fairly and thoroughly won," *lt was of this battle also that Charles A. Dana, assistant secretary of war, on tho field himself, sent to his government this dispatch: "Wo have this day mot a seooud Hull lluu." It is, my countrymen, to such men as those who bared their breasts on many a battlefield to the belohing tiro and led of tho enexy that we come to dedicate this monu meat. It a privilege which we eojoy to have such n heritage as thoy have loft us. At the conclusion of his address, tho governor presented Qon. C. I. Walkor who had been solootod to dolivor tho historio addross. Then oamo addrossos from Hon. 1). 3. Ilondorson, Col. J. 11. Wilson and Bishop Capors. At tho oonolusion of his address Bishop Capors said: And now, my oountrymon, 1 havo tho honor whioh ,1 most dearly prizo, of dirooting tho unveiling of this saorcd monumont on this hallowod spot. 1 shall oall tho namos of four girls from South Carolina who reprosont the four oommands of South Carolina troops who had tho honor to sharo in tho saorifioos of this groat battlefield.

Now, young ladies in tho namo of your fathers'oouirados, and in the name of our mother, tho Stato of South Carolina, I bid you unvoil tho monument she has ln.ro erootcd to tho vaior of hor soldiers at Uhiokatuauga. As Gen. Capors montioned tho name of oaoh young laiy (-ho st- ppod forward. When little Miss Walkor oame tho gonoral lifted hor up in his arms amid deafening cheers. Then ho dircctod Adjutant Holmes to osoort tho young ladies to their positions near tho monumont, As thoy caught tho strings a battor of kodaks was dirootod at tho monumont. Gon. Capors then ordered tho young ladies to uuveil, in tho namo of thoirfathors and mothers, this monument that South Carolina had orootod to tho honor and glory of tho Confederate soldiers. U was exactly 5:26 o'clock as tho veils fell 1 from tho monument and tho hand struck up "America" as tho pooplo 8 ohoorod. J After tho unveiling tho governor ro30 and adresssing Gon. Boynton of tho Chickamauga Park commission, said that as oommissionor of tho Stato of 1 I South Carolina it was his duty and 0 ploasuro to prosont him, and ho did so v with prido and plo&suve; this mouu- 1 moot.
