Honoring General Hampton.
The' remuai OD of the old Hampton
Brigade, which took place io connection
with the Memorial Day celebration at
Augusta, Ga., Monday, April 27tb,

faction analioy ed, we will oarken onto

GB2?. HAMPTON'S ADDRESS.
Mir. President, Comrades, Friends,
and seo of my old Brigade : My first
duty, as it is my greatest pleasure, is
to make my ack rledgement to this
grand organisation of yours-the Sur?
vivors' Association of Georgia. In no
State, in no Southern State, bas any
as-Clarion of that sort been so success
fully kept alive, and I trust that the
resolution adopted by the association
to-day will be the sense of tbe mee
who fought in the Army of Virginia
and of Tennessee, and tbat our children,
tie children of the survivors of the old
soldiers who have crossed the river will
take the plaee of us who are here
to-day. That when that is done that
the stories of the old soldiers of the
mee who followed Lee and Jackson and
Johnston may go sounding down the
ages to the last syllable of recorded
time. When I received the invitation,
my fsaaoda, to join in this re-cnion,
my espectaiioa waa that I was simply
to give s! welcome to that old brigade
as mee whom you have loved to bonor.
I had no ?lea that 1 was expected to
make an address, and after the one I
have listened to to-day I am afraid to
attempt it But ? do want to say to
. these meo that I wanted to look in the
faces once more that I bad so often seen;
to see them kindling with tbe fire of
battle ; to grasp their bands and to feel
that we belong to a common country
sod that they belong to a command that
I honored more than life itself, and that
it wostd have been to me the greatest
possible honor to have oom m anded the
- old first brigade. - For I believe that
thra was the best brigade in the whole
army. (Applause.) At any rate I
thought so, and a good many of our
friends on the other side seemed to
tfa^aJC-so, too. I wanted to come and
see- you, my men, again. When I
parted from you in Virginia there are
perhaps, some of yon present who re?
that wben I returned to my
irs at ll o'clock at night on
y icu Johnston surrendered!, I
: ton ad that thai part of the old brigade.
Hart's battery, said that they would
'.."not surrenderard had taken up their
. tc arch to seek fields of action elsewhere,
even if across the Mississippi. I sent a
courier ai once, telling him to overtake
them and step them until I could see
but ia au hour I was on my
>. andas the first rays of the morn
sao lighted the forests of North
ii, breached the spot where they
b?3^siopp?d I found the men, some
. of them lying down, tired by their
night's ride, but holding the bridles of
their, horses and some of them asleep
~ stretched out oo the grass. When I
reached them I told Them that they
? woaleVoave to remain and surrender ;
asd telling them that I held an order
. from Mr. Davis and assuring them
that I knew they were willing to go
? With oe anywhere as they bad always
. dene ; that if they went otherwise they
: weald go as outlaws, which [ could not
t>ear io see, and I told them that I
wanted them as good soldiers to remain
there and be surrendered ; that their
commander in chief had surrendered
them and I begged them as the good
soldiers they bad always been, to obey
that order, even though against their
witt. And, ob men, do you remem?
ber? do you remember how those men
crowded around me, caught the rein of
my horse, caught my stirrup leathers
and ia whose eyes I saw the tears from
eyes una ed to weeping-uh, men,
wheo I recall that scene, even now,
whee I recall that scene, tears unbid
deo force themselves to my eyes. I
bate sever fur got ten that scene, and it
is the last one I shall remember upon
this earth. (Applause and cheers, and
a voice **I remember it too-good for
the old Governor.")
Bot it was not only the old brigade
tbat I was proud of, for it was my good
fortune to have cavarly from all over
the Sooth, and among their command?
ers I can name my old friend Gen.
Wheeler. (Applause ) I wish that
y >a would remember that when I speak
f?rtfce ca fairy i speak for ail the cav?
alry T "bad the honor to command. I
kftpw ibat oor good friends of the in?
fantry used to chaff us a good deal.
r-They-"used to say they never saw a
dead utan with spurs on, but in that
grejtf fight at Trevilyan Station, fought
by the cavalry against overwhelming
numbers of infaut.y there were 710
killed and wounded in Butler's division,
an-* in the 6th regiment there were lost
*_i killed and wounded (applause )
And I will say that in the great cam?
paign of Gettysburg where the despe?
rate fighting was by that invincible
infanfry of ours, the cavalry corps lost
m>re in killed and wounded than any
other division in Gen. L?e's army.
Now we, the cavalry did do some
fighting, and while I do not intend to
detain you by telling you what I think
of the cavalry, I want to show you
what Geo Lee s; id :
Just after the war G< o. L?e wrote to
me and requested that I would give
bi II a connect'd narrative of the opera- j
tiona of the cava'ry corps of be last j
jaaiopa??u in 7.r?iiu. Lie was, ts you
know, about to write a history of
war, aod it was a great misfortune
the Sooth that he was not at that t
prepared to finish it. In this he i
the following language : "After
coo veo ti OD of 1787,'7 speaking on
subject be went on to say that tl
differences culminated io 1861
blood, but not in treason.7' Those vt
his words, and I want every caral
man and every infantryman, every o
who followed the Southern Cross, to
his children and them to tell their cl
dren (applause) to the remotest ge
ration that they were neither trait
nor rebels. (Applause and cheei
Toa fought for what we believed w
our rights. We believed it as c
scienitoasly as any man could bei;
anything on the face of the earth. '
believed that we were fighting for <
God and our fatherland. (lienev
cheering ) The man who would
ought lo be damned. (Applaus
Now while I Bay that we were neill
traitors nor rebels, I do not say that
should not recognize our allegiance
the general government. It is oi
one country that we have now, and
is our duty and the duty of every m
io the South to try and make tl
country the field for freemen for
time to come. (Applause ) I am
loyal citizen, but I maintain that I c
at all times express my opinion wbetl
in Northern presence or in Southe
presence, and never will I say that i
dead brothers were traitors to tb
cause. May my tongue cleave to t
roof of my mouth before I ever ntl
a sentence that will betray the thous
that me and mine were rebels. Y
were doing your duty as you thought
to the country, but God has ordered
otherwise and I acquiesced in the resu
I am a citizen of the United State
and I propose to obey its laws, but
will never forget the solemn duty th
I then owed and that I still owe to t
soldiers who, with me, believed tb
our canse of battle was just, and
those soldiers who I have seen go dov
to the dost in battle, (faking a larj
book)
I have simply marked a few of tl
references to the cavalry corps durit
that campaign. I will read first a fe
words which will show how and why
happened to recommend the report
which L refer. The first is address?
to Geo. Robert Lee and begins:
General-In accordance with yoi
request that I should give you a coi
nected narrative of the operation of tb
cavalry corps of the army of Norther
Virginia. I have the honor to subm
the following report : I regret that
have not the data from whioh to mab
it as full and complete as you desire
but when my bouse was robbed an
barned by Sherman's troops all nt
papers shared the same fate. Frot
copies, however, which escaped I cc
deavor to comply with your request
The work you asked me to peform give
me a double gratification ; for while i
affords me the opportunity of obligin
the great captain who so often led th
heroic army of Northern Virginia t
victory, it gives me at the same tim
the pleasant but sad duty of paying th
only tribute in my power to the noble
brave men who clung to their colors an
sause to the la*t. The men who thu
nobly discharged the highest duties c
patriots and soldiers, deserve tb
thanks, not ooly of the officers, but c
3 very true-hearted Southerner. G rat i
tude on the part of their countrymen fo
their services, and a conciousness oi
their own part of a duty performed ar*
the only rewards they can ever receive
The country for which they fought si
heroically, has uo recognized existence
the nationality they sought to establisl
is extinct and the government whicl
should have awarded them is like thei
hopes, dead. It is therefore eminently
due to them, that their heroic deed"
their sufferings and their sacrifices
sh o old 'be recorded, so that in aftei
years their children may be proud tc
claim their descent from men who an
now denounced as rebels. Let 4th<
truth, the whole truth and nothing bul
the truth' be placed upon the record,
we may then confidently commit oui
cause to the impartial judgment oj
posterity n
As I said, I propose to read only s
few of the congratulatory orders issued
by General Lee to the cavalry corps.
I turo now to one order of the 21 ol
June, 1861, to the major general com?
manding. You will see that it is tc
General Rosser, who bas distinguished
himself in every brilliant fight almost io
Virginia, and here is the dispatch I
Bent to him :
**Tbe major general commanding
directs me to express the pleasure he
feels tn communicating to you the fol?
lowing extract from a note received last
night from Lieutenant Colonel Taylor,
Acting Adjutant General Army N. V.:
'General Lee directs me to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of 5:30, and to
express his gratification at the handsome
conduct of Rosse r's command and his
tbauks for his having so gallantly de?
feated the enemy. The ni apr general
commanding desires me to add his
thanks for your valuable assistance, and
to say that he deems the successes of
yesterday mainly due to your skill and
gallantry and the services of your com?
mand.'"
The next extract in my report relates
to the fight at Trevilyan Station. 1
will not read the whole record, but a
letter from Gen. Lee, dated June 28,
is as follows :
"Your uote ol' to-day from Col Phil?
lips has just been received. I am re?
joiced at your success, and thank the
officers and men of your command for
the gallantry with whioh you assaulted
(he enemy, and which euded in his de?
feat.
(Signed) Rog ?CRT E. LEK "
Apropos of that fight, I would like to
mention a circumstance which ? did not
remember at the time We moved out
with 4,71)0 men to intercept Sheridan.
? have seen from the recent reports at
Washington that in that fight he had
10.000 men. Well, he says that he
hal lost from SOU to 400, but in bi* re?
ports to the war department, which are
now there on file, he admits that in the
ti^bt and in the subsequent movement
he lost iu the total as many as 4 Su?
men, so that we find ?hat compared
with them they lost one man to each
one of ours eng g d in the operation,
because, as I R> d. we hid about 4 70U
men, and he admits a loss of 4 832 by
bis own report. The next letter to
Gen Lee is in refereuce to rl e same
fight under date of August 19, 1801.
It is directed to me and says : "I de?
sire to express the gratification I have
derived from the c< nduct of the cavalry
during its late operations north of
James River,
The next is a record of August 26 h.
being a dispatch of Gen. Lee to the
Secretary of War referring to thcgallaut.
conduct of A. 1\ HUI ;
"At the second assault be carried the
entire line. Gook's and McRae's
North Carolina brigades in Wilcox's
division under Conner, with Pegram's
j artillery, composed the assaulting col
I umn. One line of breastworks was car
; ried by the cavalry under Hampton
with great gallantry, who contributed
largely to the success. Seven stand of
colors, 2,000 prisoners and nine pieces
of artillery are in our possession. The
lost of the enemy in killed and wounded
ia reported heavy ; oars relatively
small. Our profound gratitude is due
to the Giver of all victory and our
thanks to the brave men and officers
engaged. li. E. LEE,
General."
Now, my friends, I think by these
I can show that Lee thought tbat the
cavalry was of some good in the army,
and we saved your lives once, you Will
remember, by the number of cattle we
brought to you from one of our raids.
Bat I will not detaio you by reading
any more of this, only referring you to
one fact that is worth recording. Io
looking over my records (and they are
embodied here in the reports of the pro*
vost marshal for the cavalry corps of
the Army of Northern Virginia), I find
that in the last six months of the war
we had turned io between 18.000 and
20,000 prisoners. Well I think that
this was doing very well for an army of
5,000 or 6.000. Wheeler said that we
whipped them, but it bas been said that
the infantry whipped them and we cap?
tured them while they were running.
I do not mean to depreciate the infan?
try at all, bnt I remember an ioctdect
of an infantryman who I thought
was from Mississippi. As I was
passing along on horseback be said :
"I'll be damned if ? ever go into the
war again, I will go on the hurricane
deck of a horse," and I inferred from
that that be bad been used to a Mis?
sissippi River steamer.
But as you know, I would rather
fight than speak, but I do want to tell
you of the last communication I re*
ceived from Lee, as it was particularly
complimentary to the army of North?
ern Virginia. I would say that if I
had to go through my privation, my
sufferings, and could have foreseen the
result of the war, I, even then, would
have been willing to encounter its re?
sults. After the war Geo. Lee wrote
to me and said : "You cannot regret
aa mach as I do that yon were not
present at the final struggle, for had
you been present with all your cavalry,
the disaster would not have happened."
(Applause and cheering ) He did not
say "I think it would not have happen?
ed," or "I believe it would not have
happened." And every member of
that corps should nuw feel that he has a
declaration worth more to him than the
decoration of the Legion of Honor or
the Iron Crown of Germany.
Well, then, my comrades. I did not
expect wheo I left you in North Caro?
lina ever to see you again, or tbat in
the course of natural events I could
again have had this pleasure. It is a
beautiful but very apt thought in the
creed of Swedenborg, that every sol?
dier fighting for his coQDtry and killed
in battle is immediately translated to
the realms of everlasting bliss.
Whether this is so or not I would fain
believe it, and I trust if we are not to
meet on earth again, when we pass
across the river and are at rest, and
even though we did not fall, on the
battle field, we may meet our old com?
rades who, shoulder to shoulder gave
up their lives for this dear Southern
laud of ours. I may never Bee you
again but I never will forget you, and
those who nursed me in my desperate
illoess tell me that in my deli ium I
talked about the men cf my old brigade,
.that I talked of cavalry, that I planned
fights, that I gave orders to Maj Rosser
to charge, and that ? said "now boys it
is time for old Hampton to go in/' I
say that I may not see you again my
old men, but believe me I will not for?
get you. My prayers will go to beaveo
always fo.r you, God bless you my old
comrades. (Applause.)
Gen. M. C. Butler, G*n. Joe Wheel?
er, aod Gen. P M. B. Young followed
Gen. Hampton with short speeches.
Gen. P. M. B. Young, whose Hog?
ing utterances were enthusiastically
received, said be was a South Carolin?
ian and would not criticise ber too
severely ; but some things had happened
across the river which would not have
happened in Georgia. The audience
knows to what ? refer. I know one
thing-and you know it, and the peo?
ple of the whole South know it-and
that is, it' the voice of the people of
South Carolina could have been heard
at the ballot box, it would have said io
thunder tones that Wade Hampton -Fuaost
be returned to the Uuited States Senate
I speak thus feelingly because Wade
Hampton belongs not alone to South
Carolina, but to the whole South."
(Applause and prolonged cheering,
which was increased when a man in the
crowd cried, *'I Dominate Wade Hamp?
ton for governor of South Carolina in
1892 )
A GLORIOUS RE UNION.
At the conclusion of the speaking the
crowd surged up to the stage and vete?
rans climbed over each other in their
anxiety to meet their loved commander.
General Hampton, extending both
hands, grasped affectionately those out?
stretched towards bim. War time
incidents were recited by many to recall
themselves to bis memory, and the
General's eye kindled and his cheeks
flushed as the stirring scenes were
recalled.
The survivors and their invited
guests then adjourned to the dining hall,
?here a collation bad been prepared.
President Joues presided, and a couple
of hour? were devoted to refreshment,
interspersed with speeches.

Wanting and Getting.
From Harper's B-tzaar.
It bas been said that the reason so
few people get what they want m this
world is that they do not want it hard
enough. There is profound truth at
the bottom of this odd conceit.
Earnest striving and perseverance are
rare qualities. A little struggle, and
then a falling off; a few faint efforts,
and then despair-this is the usual
story of attempts to "get anything,"
whether it be a physical, mental, or
spiritual good. But to long for a
thing so strongly that for the aake of
its attainment one can conquer obsta?
cles, live down opposition, ignore
discouragement, and work persistent?
ly and through years of trial and ob?
scurity toward the fulfilment of a
hope-is not this the record of all
grand achievements and the history of
all purposeful lives ?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this
price for them Anything worth hav?
ing in this world is dear, including
experience. Genius itself has been
defined as only unlimited patience, or
an endless capacity for hard work.
It was told of some celebrated gen?
eral that he never knew when, be was
defeated. By-and by he could not be
defeated. A little of the same spirit
infused into ordinary life work
would make many a dream possible
that now seems to the wistful dreamer
as extravagant as the cloudiest castle
in Spain.
The discovery of large underground
reservoirs of water in the Desert of Sa?
hara, leads to the belief that it may be
reclaimed and made productive. There
is no reasoa why there should not be a
good supply of water under the Desert
of Sahara, and wherever the drill has
been put down it bas been shown there
is.
