Ladles and Gentlemen. The Ladies Memorial Association of Washington county calls upon us tojoio'iti with them to-day to fulfill a sorrowful but a noble duty. It is to recognize in the face of the country and a civilized world the loss of your sons, your brothers, your fathers, you* husbands, and your lovers, and to offer to the ashes of the .heroes of’61, 2, 8, 4, and 5, solemn anguish of be reaved liArtrts, I am sure therefore that I express a feeling common to every one presest when I say that thei'e is sofnethiug more than ordinarily solemn nnd affecting on this occrfssion. Wc are here to testify our high regard for those whose names by reason of valor, «ilf denial and love of liberty, are engraved, as it wore, in letters of Gold upon.the silver lining ot our hearts ijlfd memories. There is a powerJj»n irresistible power in association, and the excercise of that power, awakens slumbering thoughts both pjeqsant and mourn ful. While iTook upon that Gray worn by old war veterans, the same I once wore, for which I am not asjtmined, oh, how do rec- collcctums ot former times, of bv gone days, crowd upon my mind. The 6(5<ijpfcs ! &i' tiresome marches,the soldiers camps, the cainp fires, the hard fought'battles, the groans ot the vroinvdid and dying are before us, it calls up the memory of those since then nnd have much learned and much forgotton yet nothing lias transpired sufficient to fully cinse the memory of our fallen braves from our minds. Now for a moment let us go to the field of action. During the war 1 was n Chap lain, please allow mo to say i word to the little folks, I said I was a chaplain, I mean by tha* to sny I was a preacher for the soldiers, that was my business; wc had no churchs, that is tho soldiers had none, our pulpit sometimes was a stump, at other times a log, however tny regiment did in the winter of ’64 and ’65 build me a church houseandpulpit, we did not enjoy it long, for we were ordered off. The soldiersas a general thing loved to hear preaching mid loved to sing.The last song 1 heard sung in tho army was utter I had preach ed my farewell sermon on the night of the lltli of April i805, it was tlmt beautiful song, “We’re Homeward Hound, Homeward Hound.” I also nursed the woun ded and the sick, I often thought 1 fid the work of preacher, mother, sister nnd wife, tlmt is I did in part what they, would have done for them had they been there. My associations with the soldiers were pleasant nnd enabled me to learn much of soldier life and hard ships. The soldiers wore not the rough unprincipled men some sup posed them to bo, they were not lovoid of all the fine passions and principles of the human heart, they carried with them to the fields tho early lessons of childhood, to love kindness. It was there l first discovered a germ of affection tor ono of your noble citizens, Capt. Harris, lie was fine looking then as now, and met his friends with a smile, but it wits apt those that caused me to love him. it was liis kindness, kindness in hauling my blankets, I should have said our blankets, I will here whisper in theCaptn's. ear what 1 have never told him, that large roll of blan kets you hauled for ino was not all mine, the boys would slip in theirs and call them tho parsons, they were always careful to put .mo of lnino on tho outside, all that were interested in that roll learned to love tho Capt,. for his kindness. Old Cupid did not for sake the soldiers in camp, it was there I learned the name of his wife. Like tho most of us he would sometimes get homesick, it was amusing at times to hour him tell ot Miss Mury ns he culled her her name was tanuliAr, he loved that nume, his wife’s name; I on ly speak ef him as a sample of thousands, though soldiers, far away from home and its restraints and influences, yet they had a tender regard for things at home. It is a slander to say that the sol diers forget loved ones ut home, mothers, wives, sisters and lovers were every day thought of and talked about, and it could have been said “though sundered fur; by faith they met their friends daily, around one common mercy seat.” At Spottsylvania Court House on the 12th of May i864, Gen. Hancock, u braver soldier never lived, with some of the best troops of Gen. Grant’s army, for it took them to meet Lee, penetra ted our exposed lines, no sooner had the news reached tho old chief- tian, Gen. Lee’s ear than ho call ed tor that heroic knight, Gen. J. B. Gordon to take the undaunted Gen. E. L. Thomas with liis bri gade, all Georgians, and retake the works. Never till my latest breath shall I forget that scene, ten Ga. Regiments all in line, ready to rush into the jaws of death, just before the order to charge was heard, one of your noble sons, than whom there is none braver, came to me, handed me his watch and remarked “Parson I realize the danger and I fear the conse quences, but tor my country, niv mother and my sister I go; he did go and well did he do his part in leading to victory one of Georgia’s best regiments, I withhold his name as he is not present, ladies you were not forgotton by the soldiers. But enough about the living, the first soldier I saw killed was a Washington county boy a Mr. Mutt Williams 1st flag bearer of the 49th Ga. Reg., as befell 1 caught him, J laid liis head upon itigton county passed away early in the war in the person ot' Lafey- ette Cummings, upon his grave you'll not lay a rose to-day, my mind us with electricty dashes over to the Gettysburg heights where so many of our boys lost their lives and none more noble passed away tlmt day than Capt. C. M. Jones, (Charlie,! near a Pennsylvania barn will be found the remains of one of your best men, he was so pleasant that, as it was said with tiis sword on he was “Capt. Jones,” with his sword off he was “Charlie Jones.” Yes tho same Charlie he was oifyour streets,ho was killed in that great battle, these hands associa ted with the hands of some others made a box.out of rough hoards torn from an old barn, I believe we dug a grave with bayonets use- ing our hands to shovel out the dirt,I carved his name upon rough boards, placed them at tho foot and headwind we turned our hacks upon the hallowed spot, his grave will not he adorned by you to-day. Time fails me to mention Capt. Joe Duggan, Lt Marshal Kinmunn and hundreds of other noble spirits, as noble as the world ever knew, some of which had graves, but fur away from home, the bright sun of to-morrow will shine upon the sacred spots where they lie without a withered flower between. The most affecting scene I saw during the war was the Couawiiy boys, brothers, Washington county boys, lioiug in each others embrace, killed at the same time, they fell together, the arm of the younger across the breast of the older, this was at the bai lie of the Wilderness, they lovod each other, they loved thoir country, for it their lives wero giveu, their graves, il graves they have you'll not stand aroutid to-day. We would love to do them honor, what can we better do than to raise n monument of Gu. gran ite and curve their u iiues in marble, cau it not bo done, what is it tlmt the Indies of Washington county c.iu’t do Tho same may be said of Thom s Eu- bunks and son of your city, killed ou the 9th of July 1 HO 1 at Monocnuy in Maryland, ami fell in each others em brace. From those scenes of blood mid death allow me lo turn to our homes mi ' their interests. The veteran of '61 conscientiously believed that there were dangerous elements threatening the prosperity, liberty and | tract! ol our country, our homo and firesides, these elements were sectional politico schemes, and centralizing power, in defense of their couutry they Miisheuth ed the sword unboxed the rille ami rolled out cannon nnd outcred the con flict ; their pass word was our country, our homes and our firesides ! hut they were overpowered. The result of that war has been a beacon light to reveal other dangerous elements, hit! whatever those elements arc for the well fare of ihe rising general ion they must he overcome, overcome for our countries prosperity, for when tli wicked ruletii the country mourneth. where corruption is allowed property follows, where vice is practiced im mobility is tho fruit. Then down will every dangerous clem ut, social, polit leal and moral. In the late war there was one con soling thought, and tlmt thought was not a mere fancy, but a reality, the southern women were our friends, then lo sing Ihe praises of those heroes who espoused uud honored the Lost Cause and not to more fully mention the silent yet powerful influence of wo men would be to discharge only a por tion of my duties ou tins occasion Ancient history tells of the noble mat rons who cheerfully gave their sous to tlieir country uud triumphantly bore their de id bodi -s from the field ol honor to the soldiers grave. But an cient history has never presented u scene equal to tlmt exhibited by our southern women whea they felt that honor was at stake and the tirusides were iu danger, no mother was williu for her child to say “my father stain at home when his country was iavu- ded.” No Maiden was willing to claim a lover who did not hasten to the field of honor: fond mothers took their sons while yet iu minority eomrnitted them to God, and sent them to the battle field. The no ble wife of the Gullunt Gordon lias but expressed tho feeling of every Southern woman when she said “every time he lelt me,L thought it might be tho last, but i lmd rather have seen him brought buck dead, than to have tailored in tho dis charge of duty.” lt was not wom an’s province to lead armies to battle yet many would have been williu, but when man's heart was timid woman’s words inspired valor. Whereever, a yellow flag displayed a hospital,woman’s bauds misister- ed to the Hick and diying whenev er a rail-road train passed with Sol diers aboard, she would board it to speak words of cheer, and carry luxuries to supply the wants of the inner man, and whereever a little mound showed asoldier’sgrave, the hallowed spot was oft bedewed by womans tears. The frivolities ot fashion, and the luxuries of life were all abandoned that the cause Noble women; we’than those tributes to our fallen broth ers, wc thank you that with every returning spring sweet flowers trimmed into beautiful wreaths by your tenders bands reminds us that our fallen comrades will ever live in your hearts. These flowers like our mortality must fade, but their sweet fragrance like your holy influence will never die. As a fitting conclusion I have adopted a recently published poetical effusion of otto of Savan nah’s noble women. “Let us gather ncntli the laurels Where the holy dust doth lie: Let us pile the blooming flowers. Twixt the marble and the sky. Common lives of common endings Hcndnchc makers round us spicad, But we conic with special offerings These fo-day our Hero dead.
