ymen, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am thrice happy in the circumstances under which you have called upon me. The eloquent and beautiful address to which you have listened has been so full in its recital as to require no addition. Again, the speaker saw all, and was a large part of that which he described, giving a life and vigor to his narration, which could not be attained by one who only, at second-hand, knew of the events. Your honored guest and orator, General Fitzhugh Lee, rode with Stuart in his perilous campaigns, shared his toils and dangers, took part in his victories, and became the worthy successor of that immortal chieftain. When the Army of Northern Virginia made its last march to Appomattox Court-house, a numerous foe hovering on his flanks and rear, little Fitz was there with the remnant of his cavalry to do and dare, and, if need be, die for Dixie. How vain it would be for any one to add to what has been said by such a witness. Again, and lastly, Jackson's char

But we must say that Captain Charles Minnigerode, late of Richmond, who served on General Fitz. Lee's staff during the war, took naturally to his old vocation in serving General Lee, and also extended his kindness to us — that we received appreciated courtesies from General Beauregard, Dr. Jos. Jones, the first secretary of our Society, and others — and that the following committee were untiring in their efforts to entertain their guests, and to make the whole affair a grand success: Tomb Committee: W.

ound. The shaft rests on a handsome base and is very graceful in its proportions, and on reverse sides are the following simple and appropriate inscriptions: Army of Northern Virginia, Louisiania division, and from Manassas to Appomattox, 1861 to 1865. The statue itself is eight feet nine inches high, and the remark of an old soldier present, as the veil was drawn aside, but echoed the universal verdict of those familiar with the form and features of the great chieftain: That is old Stonewall, as I used to see him. The likeness is excellent, the form and posture well nigh perfect, while the old cadet cap, tilted on the nose, the cavalry boots, the uniform coat, the spurs, the sabre — all of the details of the man and his dress — combine to give not an ideal Jackson of the artist's fancy, but the veritable old Stonewall, whom we used to see standing on some roadside, along which his veterans were hurrying into line of battle. Indeed we could almost see him turn suddenly awa

But when at the appointed hour Mrs. Jackson and Miss Julia, President Davis, and General Lee appeared on the platform and the statue was unveiled, amiseat, amidst thundering applause, there were loud and persistent calls for President Davis. When he arose, the scene witnessed was indeed inspiring. Men flung theihas a warm place in the affections of the people. As imperfect reports of Mr. Davis's speech were published at the time, and as several of our Southern papers haunate in being able to give the following verbatim report: Remarks of Mr. Davis.Friends, Countrymen, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am thrice happy in the circumcountry, and his country gave its whole heart to Jackson.

Again, and lastly, Jackson's character and conduct so filled the measure of his glory that no encomium could increase or adorn it. When he came from the academic shades of the Virginia Military Institute, who could have foreseen the height of military fame to which the quiet professor would reach. He rose with the brill

, and in the still, quiet watches of the night, when the pale moon's beams fall upon the dreamless sleepers here, the spirit of the great Stonewall, loosened for a while from the prison-house of the faithful departed, will wander forth to guard the noble band of martyrs who are slumbering here in peace. Yes, comrades--The dead shall guard the dead, While the living o'er them weep; And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led, The hearts that once together bled, Shall here together sleep. Mr. Edward Marks then read in fine style a beautiful and appropriate poem, written for the occasion by Mary Ashley Townsend. We propose at some future day to give it in full to our readers. And then followed the oration of the day, for which service the committee had been fortunate in securing General Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia. General Lee was received with enthusiastic cheers, was frequently interrupted with applause, and delivered in admirable style, an eloquent and most appropriate address. We

This was to gain a position on the mountain side above the enemy's most effective battery and descend to attack him in flank and reverse. After Taylor had put his troops in motion, he went to receive from Jackson his final orders. He found him in front of his line of battle which had , and now was confiding himself, his. compatriots and his cause, to the God of the righteous. Taylor's brigade was marching in rear of the column, and Jackson seeing the enemy advance in force where there was none to check him, directed Taylor to form line of battle for resistance. Taylor said this was done, though at fearful cost, and added, This brigade would, if ordered, have formed line toTaylor said this was done, though at fearful cost, and added, This brigade would, if ordered, have formed line to stop a herd of elephants.
