Btreet and extendingSback over the side
walks on three sides of the Bqnare.
Many took their stations on the veranda
of theNew Albany, whenoe they oould

Just at this jnncture companies E and
G, Albany Guards, arrived and took
their static: s on opposite sides of the
monument, the former to the south and
the latter to the north. The mayor and
members of the city council ooonpied
seats near the Btand, and nearly all the
secret orders of the c'ty were represent
ed, having received speolal invitations.
There were tunny Confederate veter
ans present. They were in a seotion of
seats reserved espeo ally for them, and
appeared deeply interested in the exer-
oises throughout.
The commencement of the exercises
vas signified by the sounding of reveille
by Ithe Guards’ buglers. Bev. H. T.
Darnall delivered the opening prayer,
and was followed by Oupt. John T.
Hester, who introduced the speaker of
the occasion. Oapt. Hester is at all
times a graceful and pleasing s; eaker,
and his remarks icsterday were par
ticularly eloquent. He took oooaslon to
say a word on bohalf of the Confederate
veterans whom he represented, and'paid
glowing tribute to the ladies of the
Memorial Association.

The speaker paid his respeots in scath
ing langnage to some of the oonspion-
one figures on the Federal side during
the war. He woald open no graves and
e their corpses before his hearers'
i, but he would never consent to take
hand in raising monuments to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln, or pile
wreaths of flowers on the tomb of Wil

ended, the verdiot of history is mad6 np,
and the vindication of the South is at

Yet not a word of Mr. Pottle’s address
was lost yesterday, and it may be added
that none of his hearers oared to lose
anything he said. He departed some
what from the line followed by most
public speakers who have the war be
tween the states fur a tbeme, being
more than oommonly vehement in his
denunciation of the policy of the federal
government Immediately p ior to, dur
ing aud fallowing the war, and in de
fending the principles which the Con
federacy sought to maintain. That a
majority of his audienoo sympathized
with his sentiments was evident.
Mr. Pottle referred affectionately to
the late Mrs. Samuel Hall, of this city,
and to Mrs. A. M. Wolihln, now of Ma
con bnt formerly of Albany, who were
two of the devoted band of five women
to whom was dne the oredit for organ
ing and laboring to perpetuate the
memory of onr Confederate dead, these
five having organized the first Confed

the fact that it was a Dougherty county
lady, Mrs. J, O. Talbert, whose fingers
made the first Confederate flag inGeor

to the Bpirit which animated the Con'

made our country the greatest on the

He declared that after oarefnl study of

Involved he had been unable to find
room for a single honest difference of
opinion. He went alj some length into
a review of the history of the great oon-
fllot, the causes that led np to it and the
principles involved on both sides. He
deolared that the men of the uonfed-
cracy, could they have foreseen all the
sorrow, bloodshed and desolation which
accompanied the war, woald not have
had the oondnet nf the South at that
time ohanged in the smallest respeot for

he, as a representative of the Sooth’s
yonnger generations, have history show

was ended, and turned to make of their
