When I came to South Carolina the last year of the war, I felt that it was my duty to bring that company to my new field of service. Soon after reaching South Carolina I was placed on duty, and the first thing which I did was to telegraph for Hart's battery.

ing that the war cloud which for a time had threatened your coasts was about to break in all its fury upon the frontiers of Virginia, sought the opportunity of being foremost among her defenders. They formed from your ranks the nucleus of a light battery, to which were added gallant spirits from many parts of the interior, forming altogether a complement of some of the best manhood of the State. In June, 1861, this battery was accepted into the Hampton legion, then organizing at Columbia, South Carolina. On the 14th of June of that year, on the eve of its departure, its tents being struck for the march, it assembled in this hall to receive through the hands of one of your members a handsome guidon — an offering of love and patriotism from many fair ladies of your city.

Hart's South Carolina battery--its War guidon — addresses by Major Hart and Governor Hampton. We had the privilege of attending the thirty-fourth anniversary of the Washington artillery of Charleston, South Carolina, on the 22d of February last, and of hearing General McGowan's splendid oration and the other speeches of the occasion. We had intended publishing at the time the following report of the speeches of Major Hart and Governor Hampton, but were prevented from doing so by circumstances over which we had no control. We give the report now, and are quite sure that it will give pleasure to friends of the Confederacy everywhere and especially to those who wore the gray. At the close of General McGowan's oration, and as soon as the thunders of applause which followed its completion had subsided, Captain Ellison A. Smyth announced that the dearly-cherished and historic guidon of Hart's battery, tattered and torn and stained with the shot and shell and smoke of an hundred ba

ton spoke as follows: My Comrades of the Washington Artillery: I did not know when I came here how many memories of the past would be stirred in my heart when I stood once again under this little flag, which I have seen wave in one hundred and forty-three fights; and it never waved in dishonor. That battery never failed to take the place it was ordered to do! It never moved from the front without orders, and wherever the fight was thickest the men of Hart's battery — the brave sons of Carolina, men who periled all in her defence — were always found standing to their guns to the last. But their bravery is best told by the number that fell at those guns. There were one hundred and forty-seven members of this gallant command that went into the fight for liberty. When the war ended there were but twenty-three survivors of the original veterans of that brave band. They left their bones on every field upon which the Army of Northern Virginia had fought.

When the war ended there were but twenty-three survivors of the original veterans of that brave band. They left their bones on every field upon which the Army of Northern Virginia had fought. Their guns were the first to flash for Southern independence, and they were literally the last guns that fired in the defence of Southern liberty. The memories and associations which bind me to this company are very dear indeed. As your old captain has told you, it was one of the first batteries to join my legion, and it was the only company of that legion which, through all the mutations and fortunes and trials of the service, served with me to the close of the great st
