Now, I’ve spoken to you of the patriotism which runs riot in the Southerner’s heart when his coun try is in peril, and I am now going to tell you of a patriotism that is just as commendable in men. When the war was over did the soldiers sit idly by ? No. They came home and went to work to repair the ruins; they built new homes, new fences, new barns; they gathered what little was left and went bravely to work with the pruniug hook and the plowshare to fight the battles over again. The horses that were cut loose from the cannon at Appo mattox on the 9th day of April, 1805, were in the plow by the 1st of May, and when June came the fields were green with crops and old king cotton bloomed forth again, The busy wheels of factories were soon buzzing; tire lumberman s ax was heard in the forest felling the stately pine; the harbor’s were soon A’led with ships, and the plow boy’s merry song was again heard to echo across the old red hills of Georgia, speaking in itself what a world of happiness reigned in che New' South, and showing to the world what difficulties we can over come and that the South is still king. It took brave men and brave hearts to do these things ; but the Georgian can do anything, “No sting is left in the heart of the Southern soldier for the brave men who fought us.
