Continued frm M first paIge. colonies, and renounced allogiance to her mother country, evincod this characteristic. Tho horoic achiev ments of Marion and Sumter and other gallant sons, aPmid hardships and disaster, placod hor high on tho record of military valor. In the war of 1812, while othor States hold back, and either rondered a sullon obedience, or made opon revolt, the Palmetto State sprang with alacrity to tho front, and under tho lead of the first Hampton and other gallant sons, she confirmed the good report that had previously been given. So, when the call for volunteers to Florida was issued, South Carolina once more sprang to the breach, giving indubitablo ovidenco that though individuals might pans away, and generations succeed each other, the same martial spirit still survived, the same willingness to risk lifo and fortune at country's call. It matters not that the contest with the Indians proper was compara tively insignificant. The endurance of toil and privations, the grapplo with diseaso must also bo taken into account. Moreover, it was this im mediato responso, this hurrying in hot hasto to the point of danger that removed the dangor. Tho Seminoles wero unablo to cope with such numbers, and declined the gago of battle. But thia was not foreseen. Tho aboriginal American is no contempti ble advorsary. His history is one continued scono of bloody con flicts. The early colonial wars, the defeatof Braddock, the distruct'on of the army of mad Anthony Wayne, the exploits of Tecumsch, Logan, Black Hawk, and of Osceola himself, whose tribo, at the timo of your campaign, had already been success, fully repelling all attacks for eighteen years ; and in more recent times, the Modoc wvar, the campaign of Sitting Bull, who annihilated the gallant band of long-haired Custer, the pink of Northern chivalry, and the defene of Chief Joseph and his devoted warriors, are all magnifi cent monuments of the martial spirit of the Indlian. However un civilized he nmay be, however poorly he may be provided with the impjle-. ments of wvar, he has ever proven himself a formidable antagonist, his utter deiianuce of all the rules of civilized warfare, only serving to make him tenfold muoro dangerous. Such wvas the foe you woero clledC~ upon to face. Your prompt response was but another link in the length-. ening chain of Carolina's military glory. The example you sot was followed ton years later when the Pahmnotto Regiment set sail for Mexico ; aind here upon those sanguinary fields, the palmetto flag was again bap tised with blood and glory. Later still, in obedience to the same prompting, the sons of South Caroli na arrayed themselves beneath thue banner of the bars, and through four long years upheld it manfully, bravely, gloriously ; so that when at last it was furled to float no more in Heaven's 'pure air, although amid the dust and smoke begriming its once fair folds might be seen the drops of blood that welled forth from the hearts of those who fell in bearing it defiantly aloft, not one stain of dlishuonor or disgrace was found to mar its moral beauty. Tesame spirit that animated the Florida volunteers irnspi rod their successors, andl the early scenes of each campaign were of a similar nature. It was only that the op portunity was offered in the late campaigns to show the stern stuff' of which the people were made. While it often happens that some bright meteor flaahes gross the ~leavens, when coniditions are fa vorable, and dazzles the eye with its magnificent effulgence?, yet this is but one of thousands of equal beau ty. The rest pass in their paths in the daytimie or when the sky is veiled in clouds, and are not p~erceived. So, it often happens that one man, en joying the opportunity, makes him self illustrious, while many others of equal or greater capability are un. known because no propitious cir cumstances favored them. Heroism and greatness cannot alwap's be maured alonn hy resnlts achieved. True worth must be estimated by a readiness under all circumstan ces to obey the call of duty. The Flori da volunteers fully demonstrated their willingness to serve their State, and they are entitled to the same honor as those who achieved more only bccause the opportunity offered. In this connection, let me add that there is at least one of your number who has followed the palmetto banner thrice, once in Florida, once on the battlefields of Moxico, and again in our late con test, and who is ready to obey another summons whenever his services are iceded. In conclusion, gentlemen, let me add a fow more words concerning the conflict in which we are now engaged, and which is none the less rmomentous, because it is not herald, ed by salvos of artillery or the inspiring sounds of fife and drum. This is the battle of life; and nature stands by and drivos us on rolentloss ly on into the breach. Times are changed since the occurrence you have met to comnemorate. In place of life and prosperity, a pall hangs over over us ; financial depression weighs us down. There is no call ing for volunteers to contend against this powerful adversary. Every man is drafted into service, and ho must strugglo or perish. Here is no holi day warfare, no pomp and plarade. The only way to overcome is by pluck and porsoverance. It remains to h) seen whether South Caroli nians who havo forend no mortal foe, will succumb to the adverso forces of nature. My holief is fixed that they will not. Two years ago they were sul'ering under a worso calami ty than this now opprossing them. Barbarism and corruption ran ram pant over a popl. But rallying together, under the white orillammTuo of Hampton they achieved their political freedom. Tho same spirit of determination that won in those troublous days will suice, in time, to solve the oth er problem. Each succeeding anni versary of this day will mark a cortaill progress, which, though perhaps slow at first, will increase in a geometrical ratio. In con lsion, after expressing the desiro that we long continue to meet in social intercourse, lot me expreBss also my hopo that, with all our natural advantimges of soil and of climato, with our magnificent re sourcos, with our political regenera, tion, and, above all, with the pluck and energy that havo ever charac torizod our )eo)l, we may soon enjoy once more an uninterrupted era of happinessuind prosperity. 1?El d~OVE1D. r' 'HE subscriber has refmovedl his Boot iand i'blou Manufactory to a few doors belowv W.

Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only bdnefit but not.harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be fbuind so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam brie, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a gratefuil perfume. PRNPARED BY Dr. J. C.
