Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 31. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), A permanent Confederate Benefaction. (search)
A permanent Confederate Benefaction. And we can only dimly guess What worlds of all this world's distress, What utter woe, despair and death, Their fate has brought to many a hearth. This too brief narrative is dedicated to the Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, S. C., now nearing the close of a century of company life; with the fervent hope that the young men who now fill its ranks may emulate its past honorable and dutiful achievements, and maintain and transmit its name and fame to the generations yet to succeed them. Wm. A. Courtenay, Captain W. L. I., 1872-74; 1877-79. Innisfallen, 22d February, 1903. [This chaste memorial, of a historical corps, at the hand of an honored ex-commander, can but be inspirative to exalted patriotism. The exemplification of Captain Courtenay, as soldier and citizen, commends itself to the emulation of all. His career of comprehensive usefulness, has been most admirably progressive and providential, in the interest alike

government ordered from Laird Bros. two monitors and sent Captain Bullock to England to superintend their construction. The contract price was £ 93,750 or about $468,750 apiece. One was to be completed in March, 1863, and the other in May of the same year. They were known while undergoing construction as El Tousson and El Mounassir. There was some delay in the work, and it was not until May 27, 1863, that the Confederate officers who were to man the new boats ran the blockade at Charleston, S. C., and started for England. Those in the party were Matthew F. Maury, John R. Hamilton, Captain Littlepage, Dan Trigg, H. H. Marmaduke and Captain James North. Captain Bullock was to command one of monitors and Captain North the other. The party were beached at Eleuthera Island for two days. Then a wrecking vessel came to their relief and towed their ship to Nassau. They arrived in England in August. The agents of the United States government in England found out the intentions

prevent the formation of the Union of the thirteen States. They, therefore, committed that question to the future, and the war came on and settled it forever. And right here, let me say, that the South has accepted that settlement in good faith, and will forever abide by it as loyally as the North, although we will never admit that our people were wrong in making the contest. This question was calmly and logically discussed by Mr. Charles Francis Adams in his speech delivered in Charleston, S. C., on December 23rd, last, when he said: When the Federal Constitution was framed and adopted an indestructible union of imperishable States, what was the law of treason, to what or to whom in case of final issue did the average citizen owe allegiance? Was it to the Union or to his State? As a practical question, seeing things as they were then—sweeping aside all incontrovertible legal arguments and metaphysical disquisitions— I do not think the answer admits of doubt. If put in
