THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. mo.xtiAT. APRIL 37. lw». JUDGE HILLYER’S TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS OF THE SOUTH WAS ORATION OF THE DAY Eloquent Recital of Valor and Outlook For Southland. The address of Judge George HlII- jrer. the orator of the day. waa the prin cipal feature of the eeremonlea at Oak- land cemetery on Monday afternoon. Judge Hillyer eald. In part: "Here, again, at the foot of thla monumental shaft, one of the first, perhape the very flrat, to be erected In commemoration of our hero dead: we are cheered by the amllea and greetlnga of the Daughtera of the Con federacy: aa they etrew flowera on the gravee of thoaa who have gone before. They are a Joy to ua like their moth- era were before them: and thla beau tiful euetom, will, let ua hope, live and be an Ineplratlon to coming generatlone long after theae monumenta In granite and marble ahall have crumbled Into duet. "No apeaker. no audience can render adequate homage to the heroea of the South. They were aa numeroua na their tworda and their rifle*; beautiful aa nature'a beat flowera; and their fame will endure like the atara In the aklea. To apeak about them all, or even any conelderabel number, would fill more booka than the largest buildings could contain. It would take a aerlea of Uvea In which to apeak or to lleten If we undertook to recount the deeda of any, or any Inconalderable number of them. "Wltat beat can we then do? Let ua aelect only a few, and a very few, who shall represent others. There are three classes: the generals, the Held or line ofTIcers, and the privates. General Robert E. Lee. "General Lee defeated army after army, and drove one general after an other of the enemy from leadership. McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker and Meade went down In rapid succession before hla all-conquering genius. Mechanlcavllle. Gaines Mill, Chlcka. hominy, Manassas, South Mountain. At* tletam, Fredericksburg, Chancellors, vllle, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spoltsyl- vanla and other great Reids of battle testified to his generalship. In one of Ms campaigns he put out of action In killed, wounded and prisoners more of the enemy than he bad In his entire army. His defeats, as well aa hts vic tories, Illustrate hla power. He was gentle, tender and pure as a good woman, yet crushing and resistless when roused In battle. Tho more than forty years have rolled away, our hearts are Just as full of admiration for Rob ert E. Lee, that grandest man of our time, as when In the crowded hours, worth ages of history, we followed him during the war. "If General Loe were here today he would testify that he could not have won hla fame but for the officers and men who made up hla Indomitable bat talions. One of the Line Officers. “As an example of the many match less field officers to whom our army owed so much, I mention Oscar Daw son, colonel of the Eighth Georgia, one of the regiments of the same brigade to which 1 myself belonged. He was In all the trying duties of camp and field, and every battle a model as leader and sot. tiler. Always at hla post, effective and of his life and deeda In the army. Just one Incident will suffice. A few weeks after the battle of Malvern Hill, when the enemy still maintained a consid erable force on the north side of the James river below Richmond, a part of General Lee's front was picketed by Anderson's Georgia brigade. One morning the Ninth Georgia was com ing to the front to relieve the Eighth. As Colonel Dawson brought out hla regiment a Federal gunboat opened fire cn It. We of the Ninth were In the timber near the water's edge, out of sight of the artillerists. Colonel Daw son changed the line of march so aa to have his regiment take advantage of the Intervening timber and hedges, and ns the enemy*! artillery fire continued heavier than ever, he hlntself rode up to the top of the hill and along the ex tended ridge, where he was In full view, and at once the firing of the enemy's and bursting around Ing up tl him. he i required him to take. Tho the danger He Incurred was so Immi nent and his escape by a hair's breadth, yet he was not touched, and hla regi ment did not loee a man. When I asked him why he thus exposed him self. he answered: T was but one man and hard to hit. Didn't you see tho enemy fire at me. and nil the time they missed me? If fhe whole regiment had received that fire doubtless many llvei would have been lost.’ He concen trated the danger and drew the enemy** fire upon himself, and thereby saved his men. Brave and heroic a* Dawson was. If he were here today he.himself would testify there sere plenty more like him. One of the Private*. "I give' only one Illustration, or In stance. In the life of a private. There waa a boy In Walton county named John Stephens. He lived near my own home and I often saw him going'to and from school, or plowing In his father's field. He enlisted In my company and went with me to the war. He was a good soldier, always In his place, brave and faithful, manly find true aa the bean Many a lima he proved hla valor and efficiency. When charging the Little Round Top at Gettysburg we came to a fence In a wheat field, noticed John Stephens by my side hanging with his arms on the top of the fence,, but hla face toward the foe. I eald, 'Are you hit, John?' Hi an swered simply, ‘Captain, If you will help me over the fence t think I can go on/ But I saw the handwriting of death In hla fore, so f told him to Ha down where he was, and when the lit ter corps came, tell them I said carry him to (he rear. I moved on with the line. But that night after firing ceased I remembered about John Stephens, and In the moonlight ! went back there to aee whether he waa still living or had been cared for. The litter corps had found hla body, but hla spirit had gone beyond the star*. There waa a new-made grave where the pioneers had tfOrled him Just at the spot where he fell. HI* mortal remains rest there still, but the eout of the soldier went home to Heaven. His fine spirit tri umphed when he wanted to 'go on/ tho stricken unto death. ■If John Stephens were here today he would testify that he waa but a type of his brothers In the ranks of the common soldiers. He would not claim to have been beet, but In hla modesty would praise the thousands and thousand* who fought and Buffered with him. Modesty of the 8oldl*r. ‘General Lee could hever have said or written like Caesar, T came, 1 saw. t conquered.' If In hie dispatches to President Davie, General Lee bad written In that form, he would have •aid, ‘I came, I saw, my army con quered/ These noble veterans who stand with us and around ua here today In varying degrees of Intimacy, knew and had personal acquaintance with Gor don. Longatreet, Colquitt, Anderson. Henderson, Hogs, Boyd, Wilson, Howell, Keety and score* of others like during the scenes of battle and and since the war, aa they com- panled with us here In our own city, and near ua, till they died. Comrades! Did any of ua ever hear ona of theae boast of hla own deeda, or complain of hi* own hardships or wounds? Not one! And so of theae veteran*, who, In diminishing numbers, are spared to answer Ihe roll call once more: such of them as have scars of battle, like the noble /Irlolnnus, draw the toga over I heir/! reruns; and tho their deed* de serve all honor and praise, yet you do not hear 11 from their lips. For their cause and their comrades some of them will move you to tear* as you lleten, but from one of them you hear no boasting about himself. W* Were Right. "The South was right In the quar rel which brought on the war. Seces sion was a New England Idea. Durln, Ihe first forty years of the history o the United states secession was held us a right by New England. Men like Joslah Quincy or Timothy Pickering and scores of others of her public men might be quoted at Indefinite length. As late aa the war of 1S12 It was the general belief among well Informed persons of that day that If peace had not been mails with England the move mem Inaugurated by the Hartford con ventlon would have resulted In Ihe making of a separate peace by New England. The New England people held DON'T BE MISLED. The rstga, 4raggMs of this country, ss a class, are noted for their high standard of Intelligence and honorable dealing, but It I* a well known fact lhat occasionally you will find on* who will try to sell you something el** when you call for a remedy of established reputation.

The right of se cession thta held was not a crime In New England, and the belief In the right of secession by the South when she In her turn, during the early six ties. set up that claim waa not a crime by the 'states and people of the Mouth. “The true reason why Jefferson Da vis waa not put on trial for treaaon waa because he waa not guilty of any treason, and the government lawyers knew he could not be convicted. Re cession may have been Inexpedient, bul that the right exlated nearly all good men now admit. No Guilt of the Slave Trade. "If the slave trade waa a crime, and, of course. It was. the South was not guilty of It. Slaves were brought to America by various nation* of Europe, mostly by the Portuguese, Spaniards and tho English. •'History can not natm dividual white man of anywhere or at any time who even trod the deck of a slave ship, save only ons. “I repeat that the sin of the slave trad* docs not lie at the door of the South.
