An Address Delivered by R. Means Davis, Euq., at, the Anniversary M-eting of the Fuirflold Florida VoLorans. [ Publishde by erpust.] MR. CHAIRMAN AND GNrrmEN Just forty-two years ago, on the 11th of February, 1836, amid the salvos of artillery, the rattling of driumis, the huzzas of imon and th o tender adious of loved ones, a coin pany of mounted militia, the flover of Fairfield, filed off from the Col lege Green, and wonded its way through the principal streets of the town to the capitdl of tlio State. The United States governmont had been waging a prolonged and wearying war with a handful of Indian braves, who, relying upon their own native vigor and the impenetrability of the semi-tropical jungles of Florida, bade otornal delianco to the Starsi and Stripes. At this particular juncturo these savages, under the loadership of the renowned Oscoola, had turne(d the tide of battle in their favor, had massacred a dotachment under General Dade, and were threatening des truction to General Gaines and his small but intrepid band, whom they had reducod to the severest str:its. In this emergency the government called for volunteers to uphol(1 the honor of the flag, to rescue their brothren from death or a fato worse than death, and by one supremoe struggle forever to crush out the hostile bands of Seminoles. To tjuis call twenty-one companies from the State of South Carolina made answer ; but none responded with greater alacrity than tile son1s of Fairfiold. The armis bearing population of tile district wore as - sembled in Winnsboro; and the call being made, so largo a number stepped promptly to the front at the word of command, that it was found necessary to detail the requisite number from the younger men and to remand tile balanco to their homes. An election was held forthwith in the Court House, and, in a brief spaco of time, oighty seven men, rank an( file, set out upon their march, under the con, mand of Captain Dorrol Smith, a gallant spirit, who, as if to add romance to glory, had, in obedience to his country's call, abandoned the nuptial couch for the tented field. It would be impossible for mo to narrato all the details of this ex pedition, through South Carolina and Georgia, and thenco to the scene of nction in Florida. Nor is it necessary, for it is yourselves wvho have made this chapter of history, and wvoveni this laurel wreath among the many that press tihe temples of your native State. It is for yourselves to take a : retro.pective glance to-day through the dim vista of the past and recall to mind the lights and shadows of that spring camp~aign, tile bouyancy of spirit, the holiday p)ageant, the ensuing perils and hardships, and, finally, the return home after the completion of your labors. I shall not dwell upon the skirmishes in hich you wereengaged, tile earn est effort and distinguished bravery expended in endeavoring to inter. cept the treacherous foo as he lurkdd in swamp and morass and jungle, nor of the short yet fatal experience at Tampa Bay, where disease, that mortal enemy of man, fell upon your ranks, shattered cons stitutionls already debilitated by the enervating climate of that land which wvas once fondly believed to contain the fountain of perennial youth, and claimed as its victims a number of your noblest spirits, among thorn your young leader, who returned home only to bid his loving bride a fond farewell. Nor is it in my power to follow your gradually depleting ranks, as one by one the stragglers were gathlered in by the keen sickle of the reaper, Death, or to detail tihe histories of thlose of your former comrades whose tongues were silent as your roll was called to day. Your orderly sergeant, who once was wont to repeat your names at reveille and &ai.o beat, has, wearied with his labors, .sunk down tio rest after an honorable career. Many others who once fearlessly and tirelessly kept watclh, id guarded the camp against theo midnight sally of the savage redskins, aro now, worn out by thoir vigils, sleeping tranquilly at their posts, waiting perchance for the trumpet to sound the call for a now reveille. Somo rest in their native county, some reposo in our sister States, in the prairies of the West, or where the father of waters rolls his majestic curront into tho bosom of the ocoan The work is dono, the company is scattered. No more can it respond to the earnest appeal of its Mother Stato. -The honor it was prepared to maintain unsullied, has boon entrusted to other hands. But, leaving the dejd past to bury its doad, let us tirn to the prosent. And on this occasion it becomes my pleasant task to ex tend a hearty welcome to those surviving members of the organiza. tion, who, after the lapse of more tban a generation of time, have onco more responded to your Toll call, and are met on this occasion to renow in social intercourse the memory of bygono days. While mourning the absence of once familiar facos, you have ample cause for rejoicing that Father Time has dealt gently with you. It is true that the dark locks of youth are silvering with age, the impetuosity of freshly acquired manhood has given place to the calm reflection of maturer years, but the heart still boats as warmly with love of country as when her call sent the warm blood coursing through the veins. You are passing slowly over the hill, and a new generation is taking your place, but your conduct is a pattern by which they will guide their footsteps. In reviewing the period of time bounded between your departure for Florida and the present, the mind is almost stupofied in con tenplation of the changes that have taken place. Then, Fairfield was in the backwoods. The problem of transportation by steam was not yet fully solved. Localities where now are soon dwellings and settle. monts, or even worn out hills and unsightly gullics, were then covered by primeval forests, through which deer and wild cat and other game roamed and fed at will. The electric tolograph Ats a thing un known. The United States gov ernment was confined to the eastern portion of the continent, and the Mississippi valley; the fertile prairies of the West, now teeming with crops woro a waste, the miraculous treasures of Calitor nia and Nevada were reposing quietly in the bowels of the earth. * The great civil war, a he hideous nightmaro of reconst n were things not prophes any foreboding Cassanrdi 1e the population, if primitive, thrifty, happy and prosperous. The spec. tacle of the earth and all things in it, thus spinning along down the "ringing grooves of change" is cause for wonder and amazement. But times must change, and we change with them. Lot us then, for the nonce cease to linger in past. It is enough for us to-d~ay that the present is ours; Let us make the most of it. It is a mistaken idea that because the Florida campaign was not attended by any great civil convul.' sion or p~olitical upheaval, it is a mat ter of small importance, or that those who participated in it are entitled to less honor~ than the beroes of other campaigns. The greatest effects are not always due to the most conspicuous causes. The French Revolution which upset all Europe was the culmination of the effects of causes having their origin centuries before. 'Our recent struggle was not the result simply of the triumph of the Black Be publiean party. The eruption of the volcano, or the propulsion of the earthquake wave is due to a long and silent accumulation of apparently hidden causes. It is not the reverberation of the thunder that dlestroys, but the subtle electria fluid accumulated in the atmos phere, atom by atom, perhaps for days previous. In conformity with this general law, the uses, benefits and results of the Florida campaign may be briefly but unmistakably set forth. The history of. South Carolina, from her~ earliest colonial days, has been marked by a devotion on the part of her 'peopleo. to liberty and a promptness to 'defend herself and and theriikelves from danger s orj insult. The ear~ conflicts with the savages, the cori ,ith the Span. iards, the p1 'ess with which South CarV epet chil'd of Great Britain, a ~ to. the call of Mausachus her sister
