stakably reminded him that they were weary of slaughter. This campaign may be said to have ended with the next movements of Grant, which brought him in front of Petersburg, within the entrenchments of which, by the invaluable co-operation of Louisiana's foremost soldier, Beauregard, Lee succeeded in establishing his army, and the siege of Petersburg was begun. Take now a brief retrospect of the campaign. Grant started with over one hundred and forty-one thousand men against sixty-four ing our city represented in her chief officer by one who was a distinguished soldier under Lee, and who was at the same time an active member of the Association and contributed valuable aid in the successful accomplishment of our enterprise. Louisiana is entitled to a full share in the glory of Lee. Her sons illustrated by their valor every field on which his fame was won. To her chief city we confide this monument, with full assurance that she will appreciate and preserve it as one of he

won a higher title than the grand old name of gentleman —that of Southern gentlemen. This in herself what contributions did she make to the material growth of the country! Look at the map of that country and see the five States formed out of the territory north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi generously and patriotically surrendered by Virginia. Look at that vast extent of country acquired under the administration of one of her Presidents, which to-day constitutes the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota west of the Mississippi, Colorado north of the Arkansas, besides the Indian Territory and the Territories of Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Is it asked what she had added to the glories of the Republic? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? Jefferson. Who led the armies of the Republic in maintaining and establishing that independence? Who gave mankind new ideas of greatness? Who has furnished the sublimest illustration of se

The volunteers at first came to Virginia in companies, and were organized here into regiments. This was not altogether accidental. It was the result of the manner in which our troops were raised, and had lasting effects for good and evil

Address of Bishop Joseph P. B. Wilmer, of Louisiana, on the demise of General Robert E. Lee, delivered at University place, Sewanee, Tennessee, October, 1870. The last scene has closed upon an illustrious life, a life fraught with lessons of wisdom to the old, and with inspiration to the young of this generation The earth opens this day to receive in its bosom the most precious treasure which has been left to our bereft and stricken people. The great and good man, whose name has so long been a household word in our land, goes to take his place among the silent congregation of the dead. Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away, he is buried from our sight. His presence is lost to us; but not his heroic virtues and the brilliant deeds which have given his name to history. Stars have been extinguished in the sky whose light continues to travel through space and linger in our sight; and in the sphere of humanity there are examples of men so elevated above this world tha

d gentlemen, were killed and left on the hill. Lieutenant Mills, of Leake county, lost his leg, and was captured. The third company of the Washington Artillery lost its gun and some of the men. The fourth company lost its two guns. Lieutenant De Russy was knocked down by a fragment of shell and badly contused. Privates Lewis and Maury killed, and several captured. The whole story of the 3d of May, 1863, at Marye's Hill, was fully told, though not amiably expressed, by a noble son of Louisiana, who gallantly stood by his gun on the hill, until the last hope of holding it had vanished. Passing to the rear by some artillerists belonging to Pendleton's train, with his face covered with sweat and blackened with powder, and his heart saddened by defeat, he was asked, Where are your guns? He replied with irritation, Guns! I reckon now the people of the Southern Confederacy are satisfied that Barksdale's brigade and the Washington Artillery can't whip the whole Yankee army. The r

0, presided over by ex-President Davis, when many great soldiers of the Confederacy were present, the Association was formed. This society was then organized as the Maryland Division of the Army of Northern Virginia. Other similar societies arose all over the South, and I believe they have performed a large and noble part in keeping up the spirit of our people. It was the spirit kept alive by these societies and the organization and membership of the societies themselves which rescued Louisiana and South Carolina and Georgia, and which has just restored Virginia to the control of her own people. I come now to answer more definitely the inquiry with which I started—Why do we continue these public exhibitions and demonstrations? I answer, in order to show that we have power and the will to protect ourselves and our comrades. The annual orations and banquets at which we meet are not meant solely to make a display or to gratify a sentiment. They have been intended to keep,

ntations and there compelled to work under the bayonets of guards of United States soldiers. Where this partnership was refused armed expeditions have been sent to the plantations to rob them of everything that was susceptible of removal, and even slaves, too aged or infirm for work, have, in spite of their entreaties, been forced from the homes provided by the owners and driven to wander helpless on the highway. By a recent General Order (No. 91), the entire property in that part of Louisiana lying west of the Mississippi river has been sequestrated for confiscation, and officers have been assigned to duty with orders to gather up and collect the personal property and turn over to the proper officers, upon their receipts, such of said property as may be required for the use of the United States army; to collect together all the other personal property and bring the same to New Orleans, and cause it to be sold at public auction to the highest bidders, an order which, if executed

g death-blows to the life of the State, to the heart of society, and to the hopes of civilization, that ignorance and vice may be exalted, and intelligence and virtue degraded! Do I exaggerate? Look at South Carolina and answer. See the land of Marion and Sumter, of Rutledge and Pinckney, of Calhoun and Butler, the prey and sport of rioting thieves and gluttonous plunderers, whose orgies continue days, months and years in the face of the nation and under Federal protection! Look at Louisiana! Behold a sovereign State sentenced to the chain-gang by telegram from Washington, to work at hard labor under negro and carpet-bag drivers! This, this, is the fruit of coercion! These are the works of reconstruction! Have the people of America no shame? Has the God of heaven no wrath? If coercion and reconstruction shall continue, their fruits will multiply, until all the people, in agonized remorse, shall cry out: Surely several unions were better than one Empire, and divided l

esigned to serve some great and wise State policy, though exactly what it was, beyond the pleasure of irritating and disobliging our people, I have never been able to see. But so it is; we are utterly without official records in North Carolina concerning the most eventful period in our annals of two hundred and ninety years. It may be said that there were only eleven States wholly committed to the late war—Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri were only partially engaged, the great majority of their people remaining with the Union. Of these eleven, North Carolina occupied the following position at the beginning of the war: In extent of territory she was the seventh; in total population she was the fifth; in white population the third—Virginia and Tennessee only exceeding her; in wealth she was the seventh; in the value of all farm products the fourth; in the produ
