Easter Monday opened with showers of
rain In the early hours. By them dust was
laid and the atmosphere pleasantly cooled.
In fourteen years In which memorial ex
ercises have occurred, clouds have shadowed
the earth on almost every occasion, but
never yet has rain fallen during the hours
of the observance, though It lias descended
before and after. A special blessing appears
to have rested upon the efl’orts to honor the
hallowed dead and the Lost Cause.
Yesterday will long bo remembered by
tbocltizens of this county, with pleasant
motions. Pleasant, because of the kiiowI-
dge of having performed a duty to those
yho gave their II ves for us and ours; pleas*
ant to see the accomplishment of the dear-
>st object of our noble ladles. That a monu
ment of marble shull stand at an curly date
the foundation nbout which we cluster
ed to speak and cause posterity to know the
Knights of the Confederacy were honored
by tlieir surviving comrades, and
the thought when., we poor mortals shall
have gono to our last resting place, it will
stand a memento to the noble, the bravo
and true heroes of our land, Is certainly
pleasant, though It creates a certain un.
leflliable sadness. About 1 o’cloqjs the
crowds began gathering, and soon on the
sidewalks of Broad street were thousands
of men, women and children, while many
were In carriages.
AT THE FOUNDATION.
When near tho foundation the military
opened raiiKs and the societies passed
through, after which tho companies were
placed around the foundation—the City
Light Guards on the right, tlio Columbus
Guards on the left, and the Muscogee Rifles
in front, on north side,
TIIE CROWD.
A larger crowd was never seen at Salis
bury PnrK, and seldom on Broad street are
such an Immense number of people gath
ered, It was estimated that there were 6,000
present. A deep Interest In the proceedings
was felt, and n mnst of the patriotic
spirit which prompted tho ladies to labor
for this monument forced tho throng to
breathe an inaudible blessing on the bends
of our women. The occasion was one cal
culated to fan the sparK of patriotism into
the flame. Long will the occasion remain
in our momorics ns fresh and green ns the
foliage of tho trees of tho surroundings.
THE PROCESSION.
Many of the societies and .the firemen In
vited to attend did not do so, owing to the
fact, that many of tho members were either
masons or military men. As announced t
the procession formed at the Intersection 01
Broad and St. Clair streets. The Girard
brass hand was first on tho scene, and
played several popular airs. The military
companies soon appeared and formod on
ho west side of Broad street. The marshal
of tho day, Col F G Wilkins, was mounted
a beautiful gray horse, and Ills assistant,
Col Wm Barden, on a hay. At a signal
from tho marshal tho procession marched
to the monument In the following order:
Girard Brass Band,
led by Mr Daniel McKenzie, and also Hold
music,

Tho military battalion was commanded
by Capt It J Blnford, of tho City Light
Guards, with Llout J J Clapp, of tho Col

ON THE STAND.
On tho arrival of the procession at tho
foundation, the Masonic Fraternity formod

his gavel three times for order,
lervlces commenced*with pruyo
the Rev J H Campbell.
Afler prayer a Masonic ode was sung.
ADDRESS OF MRS. ROBERT CARTER.
At this point Mrs Hobart (tarter, President
of tho Memorial Association, rose and ad
dressed the M W G Master af follow
Most Worshipful Grand Master of the
State of Georgia: In the nnmo of the Memo

ment wo are about to erect to the “Confe
orate Soldier,” with the Masonic ceremo
nies usual on such occasions.
CORNKR STONE LOWERED.
The corner stone having been suspended
immediately over tho position It would
permanently occupy, by direction of the
W U Master slowly lowered Into position.
TotllE ORAN 1) TREASURER.
Tho M W G Master then said to the Grand
Treasurer (John King):
It has ever been the custom of the craft
upon occasions like tho present to deposit
within a cavity In the stone certain memo
rials. Have they been prepared?
TREASURER TO T1IK GRAND MASTER.
Grand Treasurer—Most Worshipful Grand
Master—Tlieivarlous articles that have bee

ami roady to deposit.
THE CASKET.
R W G Secretary Geo H Waddell pre
sented the list of articles to deposit. By di
rection of the M W G Muster the casket w
placed In the corner stone.
THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT, LIONEL
LEVY,
then presented the working tools to the
W G Master as follows
Most Worshipful (Jrand Master:
We aro assembled hero In token of that
Immemorial custom of oui craft which, be
fore and since the building of the G
Temple, has rendered appropriate our j
once and assistance In tho laying of all coi
ner stones to public edifices, or-to not
monuments commemorative ot virtuous
actions or glorious deeds, without regard
dime or creed, to parties or political sj
toms, and recognizing In the discharge
this duty that Masonry which ernbrac
within its folds the universal brotherhood
of humanity.
The present occasion Is one peculiarly
honorable to our services and grateful
our feelings bn men, and as Masons. Till
monument Is erected in commemoration
no victorious hattlcllold, amidst the blood
carnage and t1amc-ltt glare of which man
has prevailed over his fellow-man;
rises towards the eternal vaults of H
In a purer and loftier spirit—It is the embod
iment of a holler idea—the crystallzution
in chaste, proud marble of a nation's 1
Its faith, its hopes, its Illustrious deeds.
Is the tribute of gentle love to heroic valor
it Is aud offering from the good and tli
beautiful to tho brave and true—from
to husband, mother to son, child to parent
from maiden, hroKen-hcurled, to him
whose plighted troth lias been sevei
aye by the rude hand of war. Its fouiula
lion is welded close with human hearts;
moistened und cemented with a people
tears; Is hallowed aud sanctified by
woman’s love.
This noble ceuotaph Is erected thys
mark in this epoch of our national history
that which has been ever recognised
llrsl grand virtue of a great people, the sub
* bi-
lime virtue of unselfish patriotism! for j
“If there bo on this earthly sphere
A boon, an offering heaven holds dear,
’Tis the last libation liberty draws
From thp heart that bleeds and breaks In
her cause.”
The hardships, suffering and vallantdeeds
of our Confederate dead are too fresh and
deeply graven upon living hearts for need
of comment In this day and hour; the
moist eye, the proud and qulveriflg lip of
comrades here, the palpitating bosoms,
with pent up anguish swelling, attest more
vividly than speech can tell the recolletlon
of a heroism lighting with beacon blaze a
new page In history, the glory of which will
shine no less resplendent by comparison
with that of any other ageor land. Worthy
of Sparta? Worthy of Rome? Nay,
worthy of the dead wo honor In this hour;
worthy of Southrons, of Georgians; of the
gallant chieftains who led them on, of the
causo In which they died and of the lmmor-
tul fame which they won. These, our dead,
the soldiers of Johnston, of Jackson, and of
him of whom tlie noble poet in undying
verse hath said:
“Forth from Its scabbard never hand waved
sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led a braver hand,
Nor braver bled for a brighter land,
Nor brighter land for a causo more grand,
Nor cnusc a chief like Lee.”
To future generations this silent sentinel
will speaK In tongueless eloquence tho
proud story of a “LostCause” in which our
heroes, dying, won hack tho liberties be
queathed by their ancestors to them, and to
the oppressed throughout the world
liberties which even now their sur.
vivlng comrades do In our country’s
cnpltol maintain Inviolate—sustained,
animated, rivivlfled by tlio eter
nal principles which they died to save;
giving new life, new hope, and shaping a
happier, more glorious destiny for this Re
public. Thus will this motionless shaft
speaK for all time tho power of Patriotism,
Patience, of Principle, tlio invincibility
Truth. And while the hot blood shall
surge and courso with lightning speed
through the veins of our youth as they read
the carved annals of their sires,
et another story, all of pathos, and gentle
ness, It will unfold a voiceless anthem to
Southern Heroines! and shall recount de-
otlon, all enduring, of noble Woman to
the ' Lost Cause" that was won! Of how at
homo, In camp, In hospital, aye on the gory
Held! they cheered the weary, clothed tho
eedy, nursed tho wounded, aud like minis
tering angels, blessed tho dying couch, and
laid to rest tho dead. Of how when tho
Southern cross went down and desolation
reigned throughout this land when strong
men bowed, and crushed, grew hIck at
heart, they faltered not; but In sorrow and
11 sadness, In poverty and distress, with
mournful, yet heroic resignation, their pa
tient, loving hands, made smooth and ever
green tho turf, and planted tho perfumed
rose above the resting place where Heroes
sleep. Nor satisfied their love! for with the
gems that orewhlles decked their lovely
>rms aud with tho labor of ever willing
hands they builded, little by little, stone by
stone, a proud and lofty monument to “Our
Confederate Dead." To those whose names
aro graven In its marble, to those whoso
headboards In -soldiers’ sanctuaries' are
marked, "Name unknown," nor less In
*1, sweet memorlam of countless hun
dreds whoso lonely graves—midst hills and
vales of this South land are marked alone
by the green verdure and wildwood violet,
these “Forget-me-nots” of nature, and of
nature's God! Most worshipful, this Is the
’orner Stone wo now do consecrate, these
the implements of our beloved craft, let
he well applied, that It be found well
formed, true and perfect. For oven as tho
grand truths and immutuble principles
hero embodied, once slighted and scorned
by a nation, and at last accepted, as it is
said In Holy writ, this Stone, llKe that
’which tho builders rejected,” is now be
come, “The Head Stone of the Corner."
Another song was given.
SQUARE, LEVEL AND PLUMB.
The M \V G Mas'or presented tho square
to his R W Deputy Grand Mastor (F M
Btooks) and ordered him to try the work
by ills square, who, on doing so, reported
that he found it squaro. He then ordered
the R VV Deputy Grand Warden (S G Pecot)
to try the w.orK with his level, who, on do
ing so, reported that he found it level. He
then ordered the R W G Junior Warden (M
M Moore) to try the work by tils plumb,
who, on doing so, reported that ho found It
plumb.
The M W Grand Master, on BtrlKlng the
stone three times with his gavel, proclaimed
that tho work was square, level and plumb
—well formed, true and trusty.
CORN, WINE AND OIL.
The golden and silver vessels were then
brought to tho table and delivered, the for
mer to 1 he Deputy Grand Master and tho
latter to the Wardens who successively pre
sented them to tho M W Grand Muster, who
with a horutlful lecture, explaining their
use In ancient ceremony, poured the corn,
tlio wine and tho oil, which they contained
on the stone,saying, “May the all bounteous
Author of Nature bless the Inhabitants of
tli Is pluco with all the necessaries, conven
iences, and comforts of life; assist in the
erection and completion of this monument;
protect tho workmen against any accident,
and long preserve It from decay ! and grant
us all a supply of the corn of nourishment,
the wine of refreshment, and tho oil of Joy."
Response by all, “So mote It he. Amen."
lie then rapped threetlmes with his gavel
and the Public Grand Honors of Masonry
were given, all the Aaternlty Joining in.
GRAND MASTER’S ADDRESS.
The M W G Master then delivered over to
the architect the various Implements of
architecture, entrusting him with the super
intendence and direction of tho work with
the following address:
ADDRESS ON CONCLUSION OF THE CERKMO-
A few years have passed away, and to-day
we behold a happy, commercial, manufac
turing city—comparlng.favorubly with any
other, and surpassing mnny.
Well may Columbus boast of her lino of
steamboats, railroads, her cotton, woolen,
and other factories, ran by her splendid
water power, and others by steam; her
houses of business, of her churches, her
schools and colleges, of her cemetery, and
residences, of the Intelligence, taste and
beauty of her ladles, of tho talent and patri
otism of her distinguished sons, living and
dead, all being moved by the inspiration of
wqman; but none will reflect more honor
on your city, than this monument, to com
memorate the lives and heroism of Confed
erate soldiers. •
No foul, polluted hand will ever daro dis
turb it.
Whenjerected, its lofty summit’ will Kiss
tho first and last rays of the rising and set
ting sun, long after wo and our children
aro deposited with the’ sleeping dead, and
ages upon ages shall* pass away, arousing
to great ana good achievements, the thous
ands who may visit your city, and view
with delight and admiration this won
derful structure, nerving tho arm of the pa

Friends. Fellow-Citizens, iMdies and Gentle-
No occasion ever occurred in your beau
tiful city, more calculated to stir tho deep
est and purest emotions of the soul than
this.
Many are here to-day who wore comrados
in arms with those whoso last remains
were deposited in your tastefully arranged
cemetery, after surrendering their lives
upon tho altar of their country, aud whose
memory you aro to perpetuate and hand
down to posterity by the erectlou of this
grand monument. Your hearts aro swell
ing to-day with tho samo emotions that in
spired you and them, to respond ut your
country's call in defense of your Presides
and sacred honles.
These noble ladles, whilo tears of grief
may flow from their pure, tender hearts, for
their loved ones, who sleep quietly beneath
tho evergreens, rosos, and flowers, with
which their graves are decorated, will also
mingle with these, tears of Joy, from their
throbbing hearts, as they witness th 10%vent
for which they have so faithfully, long, aud
patiently labored—tho laying of the corner
stone, upon which Is soon to ho erected a
monument In memory of the worthy Con
federate heroes, for whom they weep.
The struggles and triumphs, t1*e successes
and defeats, the Joys and sorrow^ of this
city, from the time its cite was
habited by the red man who huntoil the
deer and other wild game upon these
planes and hills, or Ashed in the clear wa
ters of the Chattahoochee as they danced,
sparKled and foamed and eddied in the
craggy rocks of your own Coweta Falls, now
the place of the burning buzz of thousands
of spindles and looms, are well Known to
many who are here to-day.
You remember the valuable and magnlfl*
cent property In this city—when the last bat
tle of the war was fought, lu which some of
the brave men whose patriotic deeds, you
this day celebrate, freely gave up their lives
on this sacred spot, struggling against fearful
odds In defense of their futilities, their altars
and their native land. Well do you remem
ber the wrecK, the ashes, and desolation
that followed.
