Shiloh, Tenn. (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): chapter 6.43
proposed. It gives me great pleasure to meet on this occasion the comrades and friends of Lee and Jackson — honored alike by the survivors of the Army of Northern Virginia and of the Army of Tennessee--names destined to live for all time to come. It is pleasant to me, as a representative of the Army of Tennessee, to tell you how sincerely the survivors of that army cherish and revere the names and memories of their great commanders. They feel a just pride that on the historic field of Shiloh they were led by that great commander Albert Sidney Johnston, a man whose life was one long sacrifice to conscience, and even that life on a woeful Sabbath did he yield as a holocaust at his country's need. They point with pride to the heroic Bishop--General Leonidas Polk, who, as citizen, clergyman, general, was without fear and without reproach. They remember the devotion of the brave, patriotic and indefatigable General Braxton Bragg. All of these now sleep the sleep that knows no wa

tars, are glazing, and the loved prattle to which the songs of the Seraphs were in their ears discord is only a faint, fading, far-off echo. He had passed over the river. He had met the last enemy. He was dead! Dead, with his harness on him, Rigid and cold and white; Marking the place of the vanguard Still in the ancient fight. Dead, but the end was fitting, First in the ranks he led-- Ah, what sad prophecy in the lines which follow, as we remember how our fortunes waned after Chancellorsville!--Dead, but the end was fitting, First in the ranks he led, And he marked the height of his nation's gain, As he lay in his harness — dead! Speech of General Marcus J. Wright. As a representative of our gallant comrades of the West, General Wright was warmly greeted, and made the following appropriate response: As a member of the Army of Tennessee, which I believe has not heretofore had a representative at any of your reunions, I thank you sincerely for the toast just propose

Anglo-Saxon race. Great men never die, Their bones may sodden in the sun, Their heads be hung on castle gates and city walls, But still their spirits walk abroad. Again, gentlemen, permit me to thank you for your kind remembrance of the Army of Tennessee, and to again assure you that it is a pleasure to meet you to-night. Then followed a number of volunteer toasts, which were in turn happily responded to by Colonel James Lingan, President of the Louisiana Division, Army of Tennessee Association; Dr. Carrington, late of the Confederate States navy; Colonel F. R. Farrar ( Johnny Reb ), of Amelia; General Fitz. Lee; Rev. H. Melville Jackson, of Richmond; Major R. W. Hunter, of Winchester, formerly of the Staff of General Edward Johnson, and General John B. Gordon, and General J. A. Early, who always brings down the house. The whole occasion was indeed a joyous one, which renewed many glorious memories and revived hallowed associations which we would not willingly let die.

of the noble Palmetto State. As late as August he had written that unforeseen engagements would compel him to withdraw his consent to speak. But the committee naturally turned to the old Second corps--the right arm of the Army of Northern Virginia --and ordered into their service a distinguished member of Stonewall Jackson's staff. He was happy to say that, even on this short notice, he had responded, and took pleasure in introducing, as orator of the evening, Colonel William Allan, of Maryland, who was Chief of Ordnance of the Second corps, and came thoroughly equipped for his work. Colonel Allan was greeted with hearty applause, and delivered a really superb address on Jackson's Valley campaign, which we will publish in full in our January number, and which will be found to be a most valuable contribution to the history of that army. At the close of Colonel Allan's address, and on motion of General Early, the Association unanimously and enthusiastically voted to request Co

f these now sleep the sleep that knows no wakening. They rest in honor — mourned by a bereaved people, having in life been true to themselves, their people and their God. The pennon droops that led the sacred band Along the crimson field; The meteor-blade sinks from the nerveless hand Over the spotless shield. The survivors of the Army of Tennessee remember with admiration and devotion that brave, chivalrous and splendid soldier, who so often led and inspired them in battle--General G. T. Beauregard. But there was yet another commander of the Army of Tennessee, not unknown to the Army of Northern Virginia, a native of the Old Dominion — a soldier of national fame — a general whose name inspired the greatest confidence and enthusiasm in that army — a man whom we all delight to honor--General Joseph E. Johnston. It is a beautiful exemplification of the better side of human nature, that after the fierce contests of battle are ended the contending survivors are willing to do j
