So far as lies in our power we < have striven that history may not l lack the eviceiice of his purity of mc- > live, his fortitude, his heroism. 1, * for one, do not fear th^t justica, how- 1 ever long delayed, will not ultimately t be done to one of the grandest bodies ( of men who ever battled for indepeo e dence, or triumphing over defeat, f bound up the bleeding wounds of their ? oountry. c "There are three things peculiarly t left for our concern. One of these is the erection of public monuments to a our Oonieaerate dead, to our leaders, c but, above all, to those private soldi t ers, who made our leaders Immortal, a We must not overtask posterity by ex- c peeling those who come after us to t build monuments to heroes whom s tbelr own generation were unwilling s to commemorate. The South has 1 retched a position of material pros v parity, which J astitles both State and fc % private beneficence to honor the faith- e ful dead. t ?j5< * % X ' iu an human iol there has nothig better been found for man than to te for hi? c uutry. If there be any Irtue, if toere be any praise, this ite Is to be preferri d above all others Ve feel it Is well with those who have bun fultilled the highest of all tru-ts, be duty of a olt z>n to his native ud; at d whatever may have be n heii private faults, their publlo ser:ce on the tl d of battle has right lv iven them a plaos with the Immor als.

OU rlous youths, vbo in the tlush of life's morning youred cut their lives like a rich tibia<lon upon jour country's altar, we {ray 1 airsd men salute you! You enered the great mystery with the j > if the patriot in your hearts, the jheer of victory upon your lips. With 01 rur grief we would not have it ytherwlse. You were spared the pangs A defeat, the shame of IUconstiuj r.lor ; n<>r will It be your lot to tetter lowii the dull steep of age or tiled jpon the shore to watch witu weary jyrs the rising tide of years, "1 urge monuments to the Confederate soldier, first, for the saktj of the j *ead, but must for the sake of the Iving, that In this busy Industrial ige these stones to the Confederal ioldier may stand like great interrogation marks to the soul of eaoh be lower.

''Not in the clamor of the crowded st reel, Not in \ ie shouts and plaudits of the throng, Hut in ourselves are triumph and defeat.' 4,The second thing is this: L t us jass the remainder of our days in such visn, that nothing we shall do will jrlng shame at d regret; that wp, a'st, vere Confederal e soldiers. As wp ii nrad with them the glory of their u IT rings, the fame of r.heir victories ,he tragedy of their overthrow, and ,hat sympathy of their countrymen .vhich covered the d feated as with a nautle of imperishable love, let us, tlso, sin-re as best we mav their slm p'icitv of heart, their scorn of all ig tobie actions, their dignity of toul, [ihat our descendents may say to us, with swelling hearts, 'lie also fol'ow?d J ihnson; tie also fought with Lie.' To tills day there stands carved upon the graves of our English ancestors the symbol of the Crusader. Their nates are forgotten, but the cross remains. So let it be with the Confederate soldlei I In the great muster day he of the lion heart will take the nand cf the kingly man who sleeps at Lexington, ana say, 'iirothtr, my cause was also lost.' ^"And is there an? ? _..j VVl" w( uid give to the State we loved, and on whose beha'f we drew swords, more than a generation ago? As we have sorrowed over your devotion, we oowiijuloe in your prosperity. We chose ror you the fortune of war, raiher than a shameful peace. We battled for your principles, rather than yield them, not to conviction, but to foice. With breaking hearts we bowed beneath the stroke of fate. We chose the only course worthy of Americans. Better defeat than dishonor, better the long, bitter story of Rdionstiuction than tame surrender A the convictions we received from ur fathers, the principles which we sherished as the basin of our liberties Ae reave our motives to the judg ooent of pr? sperlty In the cuolc> we made, we loilowed tne d dates < f onsclence and the voice of honor ' We sair iioed all that men hold dear lor the laud of our birth, and, while we have no fear that history will record our deeds with same, we do not regard even the verdict of pot?i*rlt> vs tne equivalent of a clear conscience; nor ought we to have been f dstto our conv.otlons, even to win the eternal praises of mankind. If our Qbiidren shall praise us, it is well; if our own hearts teM us we have fultid ad our duty, it is hooter. "Last of all, let us remember our less prosperous comrades, not fortunate even in their death, or in their survival, to whom have i e n d? nled wealth and good fortune; alas! too of.en, even toe blessing of health, without which all others avail but lit tie. If we can perhaps sweeten the last years of these old men, bring back, maybe, the light of other days in their fading eyes, awake in their hearts the great memories, they shall bless ui in receiving more than we in giving. Many of the States, whom they so nobly served, have begun to gather them in soldiers' homes, in ititutlODS which combine the beauty A charity with the grace of gratitud? .
