H1is I cplriuttrc fo- the Willr .)e scribne'ielan 1His et11111 Froti Itlooily" Fields to Peceful P'tur r:rrits. E 'Te speech of lion. James W. Aus tit, of Atlanta, was one of the finest fe[ttures of the rounion, and is as fol- l lows : A distinguished bishop of the Moth odist church tells the story of an im v pecunious old lady who was engaged in c the infant industry of raising chickens o ftr reveno' only, and who, to reduce her c e\jpencs and enlarge her profits, hit h upon the novel idea of mixing sawdust m with the bran which she fed to her h feathered tribe. Observing that the tin suspectiig fowls readily ate, and ap- c peared to thrive on, their mixed diet, d the thrifty old dame began to lessen the c quantity of bran and increase the pro- w portion of sawdust until finally the old h lady believed that sho had struck a b bonana in the chicken business. After tl a time, however, one of her lions, which had been nourished on this sawdust regime, took to the nest and in the due 0 course of uatural incubation hatched out 9 a brood, but when the good dame went a out to examine and count her little pets, F she found that of the five chickens the old hen had brought o f, four of the lot had wooden Ices and the other was a woodpecker. C( Whatever may be the result of the spech which I am scheduled to hatch out on this occasion, I can say to the old soldiert" whom I see before me that - from the day ii slipped out of a South o Carolina cradle to this good hour, I have been fed mn the pure and unadulterated w Milk of the gospel of Southern senti melt ; my heart has been warmed at the w tires tif indyilg devotion to Southern w memories and Southern traditions, and that I have never yet been fed and, t thank (aod, never shaI be on the miser able sawdust of false history and vile n slander which would impugn the eter nal justice and the absolute right of the cause for which you fought, or detrart ne iota from the splendor of your re nown and from that magniticent legacy of honor which you carved out with yot,r swords on a hundred battle fields to leave as a continuing and unperish able inheritance to your children and t your grandchilirens chiliren, and 1 can and do further assert and maintain that the S uthern horn boy who cani look un- I moved un these battle scarred survivors of a tht sand times the noblest army that ever took the field, was raised on saw dust, and is as destitute of sentiment and barren of sonul as a red str eaked, long-billed, yellow-headed woodpecier.

And ore the ello of the call to arms has died away, I can hear your answer. "hteady! my country summons and 1 give my all !"' I can see you the same stalwart and handsome sons of the South as you march away to battle. 1 can see you leave the happy home, the old hiomie where your eyes fIrst saw the light of day, the 01ld home "'down on the farm" where you hunited time fox, the opossum and the coonI, the hlomo aroundl whose do"rstep in boyish sp)ort you pitched your horseshoe quo10its, played leap frog, miarbles, mumblepeg and( towniball; the homo around whose ample firoside with its blazilng logo where on winter nlighIts you cracked your hickory nuts and roasted your sweet pota toes ill the glowing embers ; the old home at whose hearthstone in the, golden long ago you knelt and lised (w ith childish lips the prayer you said at the knee of that dear form that looks down oti you today from beyond the stars withm th,at same unqluenlchab)le and unsearchable love. Yes, I can see youl, veterans, take your leave of tile 01ld home. I can see you as you go off tip the road, turn back and wave your arms in one last salute att thme little group on the pIazza, or clusteredl at the gate. I can see your old black mammy around whose neck your baby arms had often twined, standing to one side wiping her eyes with her redl ban dana. I can.see the old grandfathmer, too feeble to stand, seatedl In is splitbot tomned chair, leaning heavily on his cane, but vigorously waving his high h it to you over the banister in a last farewell. I can see the fond mother leaning on the stronger ahoulder of your sister, straininig her dear old eyes through her I glasses to rivet one last lingerinig, loving look on her departing boy, but though heart was heavy as death Itself, don't 1 you remember, veterans, ho w she and ale- C ter, and sweetheart beckoned you on, to C go on, and how they waved you -for- a ward with something like this (exhibit- c ig a lady's handkerchlief)-.the fIrst a flags of the Confederacy--cycn as the V scalding tears ran down their cheeks, il the holIest drops of consecrated pau rio t tism that ever fell from mortal eyes In "The mother who conceals her grief, ,While to her breast hter soil sheo presses,a 'fitein breathes a few brave words and brief, iKiasing the patiot b)row sIhe blesses' With no one but her- secret Godi B Tro know the pain that weIghed upon0 t1 Sheds holy blood as e'cr the sod a Rteceived on freedom's field of honor," a I pause to pay but this single tribute to the womanh,ood of the South.

I ment which rang from Maryland to Ar.d, now, I can hear again the elear, hrill notes of the fife, the stirring ro )f the drum, the swelling blasts of th >uglo, the measured tramp of infantr3 he rumble of artillory, and the clattoi ng gallop of cavalry as the legions c he South pour forward swiftly formin n the ranks of war, and adopting fo his occasion the beautiful thought of a iloquont South Carolinian, I can stan >y the roadside in old Virginia and wit ices the sad and sublime spectacle o your young and vigorous columns in pired with as earnest and devoted i latriotism as ever led men to battlc narohing through Richmond to the Po omac, like the gladiators of ancion tome passing beneath the imperia hrono in the amphitheatre and exclaim ng with uplifted arms, " Moraturi ti alutant I" And my countrymen, it was your owi land that shouldered the musket, you] wn breast which you laid bare to thi iullots of the onomy. You sent no sub tituto. You did not sacrifice yoursoll o your country with the admirablk >atriotism of that Northern gentleman ?ho being twitted in a political campaigi n his war record, or rather the absence f one, replied in this strain : " M3 ompotitor has told you of the service o rendered to the cauntry in the lasi rar. Let me tell you that 1 too acted ar umble part in that memorable contest. fhen the tocsin of war summoned the livalry of the North to rally to the ofense of the national honor, I, follom itizons, animated by that patriotic spiril hich glows in every American bosom Ired a substitute for that war, and thi ones of that man now lie bleaching of e banks of the Chickahominy." There may have been a few Southerc ten who sent substitutes. I have hear( but one instance only and it happonoc this wise: Two Georgians, Bridget id Moore, were prisoners of war al ort Mcelenry. Bridges was sufferini om a wound in the leg and on accounl dilliculty in walking, requested hit )mrade Moore on one occasion to an. ver sick call for him. It seems that ridges had been unwell and the prison irgeon had given him a box of little ver pills for his malady. His pills were it and he wanted more. He instructed ooro to answer in his name, to say he as getting better, but to ask for it fresh pply of pills. Moore cheerfully went Bridges' substitute, fell into line and lien his turn came answered to the uno of Bridges, and requested another >x of the pills. The surgeon eyed Moore irrowly : " Bridges," he said, " you're it well yet. Well, I must change your 'escription." Forthwithli he picked up retort, poured a liquid from one vial, en another, and still another. " Doc r," said Moore, '' I don't think I need at ;lmPi getting better, doctor, the pill ill he enough, doctor, the pills will do.' No, they wont," roared the surgeon, drink that, darn you, drink it, I say." here was no help for it. Down went ie mixture. When he returned to quarters, Bridges sHked Moore if he got his pills. " No 1" %id Moore "Well, you needn't snap lv head olf," said Bridges. " Bridges, hid Moore, withi a groan," if you ain't a 'eli naii in ai day or two, it won't be my iult, for I've just swallowed the con uldest close of medicine for you that ver went down my throat." No, my countrymen, it was your own aice that answered to that call. Nc ercenary bands were yours, no sover. gn's shilling tempted you to deeds 01 ood, and so the eternal pen of him whc iall write the impartial truth of histor) ill never be able to record in the whole ory of the four years' struggle 0on< ngle instance of a Southern soldiel 'ho fonght ainong the slain for gold 01 octy. Ah, the depth and breadth of the atriotism of that day. Young muon o 1e new South I let me tell you a stor, rhich illustrates the deathless deotion de Spartan heroism of the men of th Id South : Col. Sampson W. HIarris, (o lie Sixth Georgia regiment, near th lose of the war, was wounded in one o lhe battles around Riichmnond. He wa Icing carried to the rear, and while lyin n the straw in the amibulance, he hear lhe driver say to someone by the road ide. "' Don't you want to ride '?" Th mnbulance stopped, and he saw the drive 'each dlown and pull a man up on th ecat beside him. Colonel IIarris saw was a wounded soldier, lie spoke to th nan and askedi howv he was wounder r'ho poor fellow turned in lis seat an showed binm. lls right hand had beo shiot away at the wrist. it was hiangini by the shreds and tendons, the jagge bone sticking out from the arm. Wit his left hand, the soldier was claspin his wrist above the wound to stop tb llow of blood. Looking at his sevo righlt hand, the man said to Col. Hlarrit I have a wife and two little childron s 101m1 and no) far as I kniow that's the onl tupport they have in all the world." An hen, as if ashamed of his momentar voakness, he said : "'But I gave it ti iiy country, and here's another she cai ave if she wants it." "A prince of the blood," said Col larris, " coldo have knelt at that man' 'oct and learned the lessoni of patriot Can you wonder that with a spirit lik .hia animating the soldhiery of the South it took billhons of treasures and million of men and four years of desperate an< dead.y struggle to form the bitter word "surrender," through their teeth.I was this spirit which made the armsy c the South the most destructive engin of war that ever blew on battle fld it breath of lire, or harrowed opposini forces with its toeth of steel, it was ti spirit that left tihe record of an army si hiundredl thousand strong at ita uitmlos of seven hiinidred and lifty thousan wounded and disabled survivors of th anemy on the pension rolls of the Unite 3tates, and whIch enrolled on the lists o 3onfederate capltives the names of tw< iundred and seventy live thousand Fed cral prisoners of war ! And with all dlue honor to the gallan 'oos In blue who met you in thle san ~uinary conflict, it caln be truthfully aid that your roll of captives would be till longer if your breath could have eld out at critical times and some o1 ur Yankee brethren had been less lIcol f foot. A t least this must be so if wi re to believe a Fdederal soldier's account f one of his uncles in battle which runi s follows : " Yes, my uncle Willian ras a patriotic man, lie was alwaym ret in battle-comIng home. The bat o of Bull Run was a great battle. My nele William was there boldly f1ghting >r two days-sometimes oni one4 side ud sometimes on the other. " Yes, my uncle William was a very atriotic man. Hie loved the glorlous ars and stripes-loved to rally around ie dear old flag-and he said he was 'illing to leave the thickest of the light, ny time, just to go to the rear to rally round it. " I must tell you how uncle William nd I killed our last rebel. We marched ut to Bull Run with Fitz John Porter, nche William and I did, and when we 01 about half way there, we met a rebel i ambush. He pulled out his revolver; nele William and I pulled out our owie-knives, and then we both took lie lead from the start and kept it clear ste Washington City." And spnaking, vetean. of tat bat.h l' of Bull Run, reminds me of Eli Perkin e story. have you heard ity Well, at the battle of Bull Run, Gei - eral Alger mot a breathless soldier I, f ing with the rest of the army towari g Washington. The soldier had a woun r on his face. n " That's a bad wound, my man," sal I the general, as the soldier halte, Where did you get it ?" f "Got it in the Bull Run fight yeste day." " But how could you get hit in tI face at Bull Run ?" " Well, sir," said the man, half apoli ggoically, "I got careless and lookt And yet it cannot be said that ti s other side had altogether a monopoly < that discretion which has as its basis ti very laudable desire to live to light c another day.

(CONTINtID o 1.RM l I iRiT 'AOE.) w lo d until the world shall once more be drawn hI to witness achievements in the arts of d poaco that are indestructibly linked with a' the genius, the energy, the perseverance, a the unconquerable spirit that wrested W r- victory on an hundred fields of war. An ON artist as recently embodied "The Spirit d 0 of the Confederacy" in a group where t, Poses a supernatural being and a youth in the garb of a farmer, whose tatters or d and patches reveal the talc of hardship o1 in a campaign that ends in failure. In o this " victory for the vanquished " is h f hold out a laurel wreath in token of the t o fact that there is a consolation for the at n conquered which has a fliner more spiri. a e tual essence than is affordc1 by the ma o terial results attained by the successful al foo. We are met here to pay homage to N this "Spirit of the Confederacy," but we V' d do not forgot that there was another e %, guiding star in the talismanic " Duty," al 0 which our own Peerless Robert E. Leo al y said.was the sub imost word in the En- al n glish language. It was the incomparable P n leadership of such men as Lee and i Ilampton that brought order out of e chaos, that restored olenty where waste y and want had prevailed, and that inspir . ed the hands and the hearts of the men and women who have made this fair land of ours to bloom and blossom as the rose, and to foretoken the time when i the garden of its wealth shall reappear. m .Lee, the vanquished chieftain, turned 1 with weary pace and saddened features to the desolation of Virginia, but he bt went not back to sullen inactivity. ie bi said that all had been done which mor- tc a tals culd accomplish against the power t of overwhelming numbers and inexhaus. tible resources, and that the duty of the a future was to abandom the dream of a a Confederacy, and to render a now and h cheerful allegiance to a reunited govern. b ment. This was the record of his own i stainless life, and his moral greatness was developed in the live years he lived n to lead the youth of his native land into " t that realm where he dwelt continually m The greatness of his achievements in m war were almost equalled by the simpli a city and grandeur of his after life, which e closed without the utterance of one word u of bitterness. Cheerful even under do- ?s feat, how unsellish the character that g absolved all others of blame at Gettys. burg I Majestic and dignilied in all his ty career, he was greatest and grandest in aE the hour of defeat and discomfiture. k " In every hour of living forro st liis grand example hides, Of courage, valor, wis(tom rare, The modesty thati hides The hero in the hero's deed, The soldier in the man." Wade Hampton was not unlike his groat commander in many respects, and in the providence of God he was called upon to pass through perilous scones and endure trials that were akin to his expo rience in the tide of war. As a soldier he was the equal of any man in gaining the confidence and respect of his follow ers, and like Lee he could make love for t his person a substitute for food and clothing when a naked, starving band was to be transformed into a lighting host. Hampton came back to a des-late home, where he found a fair city laid waste and in ashes by the ruthless hand a of an implacable enemy, and almost the first words that fell from his lips were ' wise, patient, gentle counsel to the em ancipated race that were around him in r poverty, ignorance and prejudice. His f tender, compassionate heart went out in a sympathy for their needs, andl even unto r the last hour of his existence camne wvell. ing up from heaving bosom the faltering t r" " 1ll my people, white and black." g 90 element of his nature was deeper - ingrained than sympathy and affection it for the people whom he loved and whom he served with rare fidelity, and it is not d dillcult to understand the poignancy of a, wounds that for a time bore the impress h' of alienation from his porson. lBut if his I- eyes could have looked upon that unex. r- ampled scene when his p)recious remains afwere laid away in Trinity's church yard, st the remembrance of seeming ingratitude d would have given place instantly to the r- joy and ecstasy of a great heart touched 'by the genuine loyalty of a saddened s- people1, whose tributes of affection and reverence were tihe expression of L-ruised and grateful hearts, linked forever with the memory of his service and sacrifico in war and in peace Bouth Carolina made one of the grand est contributions to the spirit of unity and concord as supplanting strife and -- discord in the p)erson of Wade Hanmp. ton, and in every emergency lhe was found bearing aloft the banner of peace with the fidelity which marked his o career when the stars and bars tieated e above him in tile hour of victory.
