Eloquent Oration Delivered by, Gen. Youmans. The observance of Memorial Day was pe? culiarly impressive yesterday and there was an added solemnity and pathos that was felt by ali who attended the exercises at the ceme? tery. The graves of the men who gave their lives to the country in the last war, were decorated with the choicest flowers of Spring, wbiie the thoughts of all were with those other soldiers who bot a few dags ago left borne and friends to fight a foreign foe. The ceremony had a deeper significance, than ever before for it suggested thoughts too deep for words, too sad for utterance. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev, W. A.Kelly. Then the graves were decorated with flow? ers by fifty or more Hui? girls. Maj. Marion Mo iso introduced Gen. Leroy F. Yoomans, tb? orator of the day, in a brief and felic?teos epeech. Gen. Yoomans spoke for nearly an hour, delivering an oration that waa a finished lite? rary production, ic diction, pure and strong; in sea ti meut, noble and lofty ; in delivery, eloquent and forcible. The speech was worthy of the occasion, of the theme and of tbe orator, whose r?putation for eloquence is ?3 not circumscribed by State lines. Samt 3r and Wateres Rail ros d.

Dr. Mood Appointed Surgeon. The following is copied from the Colombia State of May 5tfa : ..Yesterday Dr. Hy d rick, of Orangeborg, who was appointed surgeon of the regiment, was examined bj the board of physicians. His many frienoe ail over the State will re? gret to know tbat be will not be the surgeon after all He failed to come up to tbe physi? cal requirements and was torped down by the board. Gov E"I<?rbe regretted this bm be acted immediately, selecting Dr. J A. Mood of Sumter for surgeon. Dr. Mood wired his acceptance and came ic on the night train last night. He will be examined at once The appoirtment of Or. Mood was pleasant oews to bis numerous friends in Sumter this morning. Smallpox Situation. Three more cases of smallpox were report? ed to tbe Board Monday aod one Tuesday. Ooe patient escaped from tbe peat bouse Sun? day night and is still at large. Everything ii being gotteo in good shape at the Camp of Detection in one of the to? bacco warehouses near the C. S. & N. R. R. der ot. There are several patients being cared for there. Dr. J. A. Cliftoo is tn charge. The di.-ease in the city is confined principally to the colored population. The epidemic of smallpox teems to be slowly but gradually spreading in Sumter. Several new cases have been reported duriog the week, from different portions of the city. The Board of Health is actively at work and doiog ail in their power to stamp ont the dis? ease, and we do not think the situation will become very alarming here, though of course it is necessary that every possible ptecantioo be oeed by all. Vaccination is eoiog on steadily and nearly everyone will soon be vaerioated and the disease will probably soon run VB course in Sumter. Those who have not been vaccinated and those on whom tbe vaccination did not take are liable and should attend to the matter at once Smallpox is reported in Concord township. Tboee who have seen the suspects 8*y that tbey have a disease that must be smallpox or something worse. Three or four cases are reported from Mayesvil?e and vicinity. Manning bas quarantined against this city on account of smallpox, bot not against Sum? merton and Silver wbere the disease is epi? demic.

It is \ in line with a suggstion already made else? where in tbts isaue. The '-White" ruoe ligh?. Tbe "White" sews right. The White" is the pride of home. i Company Officers ib'iected. An enthusiastic meeting of the Sumter Volunteers was belcl iu the Court House last Wednesday night tor the purpose ot elect? ing officers. The meeting was galled to order by Mr. L. S Carson, and the roll was called Ur. H. D. Moise was elected chairman of the meeting. Capt. J G Richards, of the Liberty Rill Rifl?.-*. was present with a Jist of v*0 men who had joined the company.

Probably not since the 9th of April, 1861, when the yumter soldiers left for the Conf?d? ?r?e war, wad there socb a scene in Sumter hi was w t .es?ed Thursday morning. At an early hour tu toe morning the streets presented a lively appearance and the mnrtial spirit could be felt in the air. A'onzstde of little tots were to be seen grey-haired Con? federate veterans, all giving cheer to the gal? lant boys who had responded to tbeir coun? try's call in this hoar of need. At 9 o'clock every place of bosioess was closed and everybody young and old, repaired to the depo). It bas beeo & long, long time -since such a^oncocrae of people bas been seen, at the depot io ^>u toter. The y ou og ladies were there in force aod there were Sowers in abundance for the soldier boys. The large crowd ut the depot was full to tbe brim with enthusiasm and running over At 9.25 tba train from Gibson came in cringing the Darlington Guards with a com? plement of 8? men, Capt Boyd commanding. They were given rousing cheers by the as? sembled crowd" A few minu.es afterwards the train from Charleston'arrived a iib tbe Manning Guards, 60 strong, on board, Capt W. C. Davis, commanding. Tbis was the occasion for another outbreak of cheering The Manning Guards were taken on to Columbia by the regoiar train, and aoout fifteen minnies later a special trate polled out witb the Darlington Guards ?nd the Sumter Volunteer? Amid cbeerir g, tears and smiles and pray? ers good-bves were said, and the boys were sooo out of sigh on their way to camp at Columbia. Where They are Quartered and How They Pare. The departu;e of the Sumter Light Infan? try for Colombia, tbs enthusiasm of patriot? ism aod the pain and sorrow of parting from family and friend's tbat attended tbe depar? ture are still vividly present in memory, grief is still unassuaged and nothing needs to be gild of tbe departure save to say to the peo p e of Sumter that the members of the Sum? ter Light Iofantry appreciated aod will ever remember witb feelings of pride and pleasure the farewell and tbe God speed the people of Sumter gave them Thursday morning. On the trip there ?sere many sad hearts, not a few eyes were misty ai<d lhere were bosky voices that cheered wheo the train left the depot aod the crowd that surrounded it, bat when Columbia wa? reached the soldier boy s were ready to fall io and keep step to the tap of the dram. Maj. Henry T. Thompson was at the depot to take command of the companies from the Foortb Regiment The companies were form td at once and tbe line of march to the camp eaken np. The battalion was preceded by a band oi music, the Darlington Guards bad? ine the line, the Manning Guards n<xt and the Sumter Light. Infantry, 82 strong, bring? ing up the rear. "Our company,1' tho' not in uniform and without guns, made a fine appearance and it was the general comment that a finer looking body of men bad not marched np Main Street since the troops were called together. The average he ?QI of the men wa? above the ordinary, tbe men in tbe first two or three sets of fours being aix feet or more io height. Sumter has a company which tbe town &od county have a riu?tjo feel proud of, aod tbe future will prove that it bas the right men in it to make a record in active service. Tue large number cf Citadel graduates, and graduates of other military schools io the company gives it a charac? ter and a spirit that will soon render it a thoroughly organized and disciplined unit. The oodrilled and untrained recruits will soon catch step with the meo who have had the advantages of thorough' military train? ing. Tbe very appearance of the company yesterday was gratifying, and ibe future has no forebodings for it. The company was assigned quarters in the machinery hall, second floor at the Fair Ground?, and as soon ae cots and olankets are furnished, they will be tau 1) comfortable. The recruits ?r; furnished rations from a ? building in another portion of the groundi and each coo. piny is marched up to tnat building io a body, each man receiving his rations un a tin plate. The company is then marched back te quarters to eat. When the plates are cleaned ont the company is march? ed by witb the empty plates. Everything is done with order and system, and the boys were neginning on tbe first day to learn some? thing about a soldier's life. The Fair Grounds Camp is under the com? mand of Lieut Colonel Tillman, with Maj. Thompson second in command. Col Alston bas commaca oi both camps, the one at Hyatt's Park and at the Fair Grounds. M> j. Stos.es and Maj Earle are at Htatt's Park. The officers are making every effort to pro? vide comfortable quarters for the troops and to famish wholesome food in abundance, but at present there is unavoidably ?orne hard? ships to be endured. The physical examina? tion ot recruits is very rigid, it teing iden? tical with the requirements for enlistment in t ^?, v^.ju- army, and a large number of those who have enlis ed wili be rejected. Beyond question the roil of the Sumter Light Infan'ry j will be reduced below the minimum number j required, and it will t?e necessary that recruits j be iou cd to fill up the gaps in the company, j Any tuan who desires to enlist can find a p nee m the Samter Light Infantry during tile next few days.
