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.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at
once agree
able, healthy,
and effectual
for preserv
ing the hair.
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.
