I.EPE.<.J VOL 5--N0. 22. PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNEi 138 Confederates Capture Chiago. PEACK HATH HER VIC TORIES. Dedication of tho Monument to South. ern Heroes-Eloquent Address of Wade Hampton. The monument erected in Chicago to the memory of Confederate dead was dedicated with imposing ceremo nies on the 31st of May. There was an immense concourse of people, and many prominent Confederates wok part in the proceedings. Gen. John C. Underwood, who origi nated the idea of the monument, brief ly ske'ched the inception and progresb of the monument which culminated in the great gathering, and closed by introducing as presiding oilcer of the exercises the Rev.-H. W. Bolton, pas tor of the Centennary Methodist Uhurcb and past commander of U. S. Grant Post, N. 28, G. A. R., whom he eu-logized as the "embodiment of bon or. justice and morality, a broad rep resentative of the Union veteran, a humanitarian and a Christian gensle man." Dr. Bolton, on taking the chair, returned thanks for the honor confer red upon aim, and in a speech of some length delivered an eloquent eulogy upon the soldiers of the late war, both North and South. After an anthem by a double quartette, the orator of the day, Gen. Wade Hampton, wits intro duced, and spoke as follows : The scene presented here today is one that could not be witnessed in any country but our own, and for this rea son, if no other, it possesses a signifi cance worthy of tfie gravest consider ation. A few years ago, brave men from the North and from the South stood facing each other in hostile ar ray, and the best blood of the country was poured out like water on many a bdttlefield. Thousands, hundreds of thousands, of our bravest sleep in bloody graves; men ,who gave their lives to prove the faith of their con victions; and how North and South, standing by these - graves wherever they may be, grasp hands across the bloody chasm, and proudly claim Fed. eral and Confederate soldiers as Amer icans, men who have given to tbe world as noble examples of courage and devotion to duty as can be enroll ed on the pages of history. Nor is this all that marks this occasion as exceptional and remarkable, and which would render it memorable in our annals for all time to come. No monument in the world has such an honorable history as attaches to yonder one. That marks the graves of no victorious soldiers, but of the fol lowers of a lost cause; it stands not on Southern boil, but on Northern ; the men who rest under its shadow come from our far off Southland; and it owes its erection not to the comrades of these dead soldiers, but mainly to the generosity and magnamity of their former foes, the citizens of this great city. All honor then to the brave and liberal men of Chicago who have showed by their action that they re gard the war as over, and that they can welcome as friends on this solemn and auspicious occasion their former enemies. As loug as this lofty col umn points to heaven; as long as one stone of its foundation remains, future generations of Americans should look upon it with pridE, not only as an honor to those who conceived its con struction, but as a silent thougi noble emblem of a restored Union and a re united people. In the name of my comrades, dead and living, and in my own name, I give grateful thanks to the brave men of Chicago, who have done honor to our dead heroes, not as Confederate soldiers, but as brave mon who preferred imprisonment and death rather than freedom obtaine-l by a dishonorable sacrifice of the prin ci pies for which they were willing to die. Of the 6,000 Confederates buried here not one was an cffier ; all were privates, in no way responsible for' the the unhappy war which brought an Iliad of woes upon our country. And yet these humble private soldiers, any one of whom could have gained free dom by taking the oath of allegiance to the F ederal govern mont, p referred deoath to the sacrifice of their princi ples. Can any possible dishonor pos sibly attach to the brave meni of Chica go because they are willing to recog nize the courage and thme devoion te duty of these dead Confedorates. Imagine, if you can, my friends, time despair, the horror of these poor pri vates, lingering in prison and dying for their faith. They died here, in what they looked uipon as a foreign :and hostile land, far from the land of .their birth, with no tender hand of mother or wife to soothe their en .trance into the dark valley of the shadow or death, aind with all the mnemnories, of their far off homes and loving kindred to add the sharpest pangs to death itsulf. They were true men, and bay if you please that they were mistaken, that they were wrong, no brave man on earth can fail ,to do honor to their courage and their aeteadfast adherence to0 what they coui -ceived to b)0 their duty. You', thme brave citizens of Chicago, in doing honor to their memory, honor your ~solves and humanity. Nor will you 'blame us of the Souttu, whilo appreccia iting gratefully your generous action ;in behalf of our dead comriades, for .cherlshing witharide anid reverence their memory- You could not respect -us were we to feel otherwise. Death places its seal on the h'ctions of men and it is after death that we "nmeab umv men." " A King once said of a Felcectruck down '"Taller ho seems in death.' A nd this slpeech holds true for nmow as thou, It Is after (leath we measure men' Amnd as the miets of the past havie rolled away, Our heroes wvho died in their tattered grey GIrow tailoer anmti greater in all their parts TIill they filI our nminmd as they fill nur hearts,. And for those w'ho lamnt there is this m'e That glory stands by the side of grief. Yes, they grow taller ais tlge years gob And the world learns how they co'u? dd and die. The notion m'espects them; the East and The far o'tI skipe of the golden coast, rho stricken South and the North agee That the hec-oes wr.ho died for you anid for 10A-ch Valan't rn his own i'e'gre'e Whether he fell on the shore or sea Did deeds of which This land,though rich In histories, may boast; And the sage's book and the poet's lay, A re full of the deeds of the nen in grey No lion oleft from the rock is ours, such Lucerne displays. Our only wealth is in tears and flowe said words of , everond praise. And the roses brought to this silent yard -Are red and white. Behold I They tell how wars for kingly crown. the blood of England's best writ dou Left .Britain a story whose nioral old Is fit to be given in text of gold; The moral is, that when battles cease The ramparts smile inl the bloom of pea( And flowers to-day were hither brought From the gallant men who against fought York and Lancaster---Gray and Blue, Each to itself and the other true And, so I say Our men in r-y Have left to he South and North a tale Which none of the glories of earth ci .ale." We, of the South, measure our dei comrades buried here by the standai aolied to men after death, and yo of Chicago, have measured them I the same standard, the only standai by which we can measure men, and 1 applying this you have shown that yt have come to the hLighost standat vouchbafed to men, and on this Nort and South can stand, with honor alil to both sections. Are any Feder soldiers disloyal to the flag und which they fought because they join decorating the graves of brave m< whom they met in battle ? Thousan of Federal soldiers rest under Soutl ern skies, in Southern gravbs, many J unknown graves. " Where some beneath Virginia hills And some by green Atlantic rills, Some by the waters of the West, A myriad unknown heroes rest. " Of them, their patriot, zeal and prid The lofty faith that with them died, No grateful page shall further tell, Than that so many bravely fell." And when on Memorial day in ti South the gravis of our dead are di corated. gray-headed Confederate ve erans and noble, devoted women, stre flowers over the graves of Federal so diers. If the humane, generous action t the people of this city in doing hunc to the memory of their oid antagamlst' is denounced as desecration, it woul seem to follow that the decoration < Federal graves by "rebel" handi should beopen to the same criticisir but no denunciation by Southern pe4 ple for daring to honor the memor of men who were once their enemit has met my eyes. Such narrow at bigoted feeling as would prompt discordant note on occasions of th sort are rarely found among true am and brave soldiers, and I have oftc thought that If the two great captaij who were engaged in that deal grapple in Virginia had been left settle the terms of peace, each su ported by his faithful followers, ti country would have had a pea( indeed, one honorable alike to victoi and vanquished and which would has prevented the evils brought about b the politicians. As it is, the Sout recognizes and honors the magnamit of General Grant towards our gre chief, General Lee, and deplores as a unmitigated misfortune the assassini tionof [.incoln. I ropcat emphatical l that the untimely death of Presiden Lincoln was regarded by all thoughi ful men of the South as one of th most serious evils which had beialle our section, and I venture to say thE ny Southern associates here preser will sustain my assertion. We kne that during the war he devoted ever energy of mind and body to a restori tion of the Union, and that result a cowplished, we felt that his big brai and his kind heart would prompt hii to deal kindly and leniently with h fellow citizens of the South ; for h highest, if not his sole aim, was to ae the Union restored, and it was a crud fate that deprived him of what b hoped would be the reward of h labors, and the South of one who wou] have been her strongest protectori her sorest hour of need. Seone of our Northern fellow cit zerns seem to paraphrase the questioe "Can anything good come ouit Na'zareth '" by applying it to ti South, but, my friends, we reaqiy a: not evil.

There was a quick transaction from o the cold conditions that ended with c the beginning of this crop week, to t in an extreme of heat, with the highest c recorded temperature for the last g Ld decade of May or the first, decade in o -d June in forty years in Charleston, U U, where the maximum reached 07 on l: ly June 1st and 2d. In various other *d localities where less extended records b ay arm kept available for comparsion, n >u they show that it was the hot- s .d test week ever known at this season, w , and rarely ever su'rpassed by the warm- p Le est perioats in July or August. Mlany ft EL reports indicate tomperatures of 100 h1 3r or over ou the .st, 2d avid 3d. ti In There was practicall y no cloudiness h during the entire week, with the ex- w 11 ception of a few foggy mornings over a ,. the Southern portion of the Stato. The G [n continuous sunsh ine and excessive heat I dried tbe ground rapidly, and in a few o places rain is needed, and it would be ii highly beneficial over the entire State, w more especially on light soils that be- si come dry quickly, although crops are a not suffering for the want of it. n e, It was au ideal week for farm work, w and plows and hoes were kept busy it with the result that crops are now bi fairly well cultivated and generally ti e free from grass and weeds. ) . This hot, dry woather has tended i t. to equalize the previous abnormal p tv conditions by supplying some of the tI I. heat lost during April and May, and i to reduce the previous excessive rain- nu >f fall to nearly seasonable amount. Its a > effect on all crops has been very a favorable. It was the indicated need 11 d of corn and cotton, and perhaps more e( )f particularly for peaches, plums and a berries, which are beginning to ripen. The mean daily temperature ranged tc . above the normal on each day of the N1 y week, except on May 28th (Tuesday), S s with departures of from 3 to 12 degrees ni d per day, the la.,ter generally on the d;i a 2d and 3d (Sunday and Monday). On i is lay 22d the departure was 13 degrees hi n below the normal, making a rise of b nt 28degrees in ten days, Tne average ti s daily temperature was about 14 degrees k 1h higher this week than last. W to The highest temperature reported ii p. was 105 on the 2d (Sunday), from Ella, a e Lexington County. The lowest re- n, e ported was 50 on the 28th of May, t -s from Greenville, Liberty, Looper's h ,e and Spartanburg, making the weekly a y range in the State 55 degrees. The d 11 mean temperature of the week for b y the State was 82.5, and the normal n t for tho same period is approximately a( n 75.5. of - here was no rain in any portion of of the State during the entire week. , The normal rainfall for the same ti period is approximately 1.0 inches. al e T'he winds were very light during is 1 the entire week, from the west and pc It north during the early portion and fc it latterly southerly. di IV Cotton made rapid improvement in si y growth, color, and possibly stand, si . although some correspondents say n . that "patching" or replanting is O( n still necessary and that some of the in n late planting is slow in germinating.
