ooks and crystal springs which Washington, Jackson and Lee loved so well, is it strange that we were incited to high resolves, and that honor perched upon our banners wherever our guns were heard? Soon the fortunes of war cut us off from our Louisiana homes, and the heart of Old Virginia grew all the warmer toward us. Every home was open to us, and Virginia mothers became mothers to us; and when want and famine came, the homeless men of the far South were still remembered with even greater test of friends, and their name will be a household word with us forever. In war they won laurels and an illustrious name. In peace they have won greater victories still—victories that have made hearts their willing captives. And now in our Louisiana homes, we have a new theme, The memories of our second trip to Richmond. Everybody pleased. But joyous and grateful memories remained in the hearts of all visitors and participants, and numerous were the resolutions of appreciation rend

many of those Virginia homes were in ashes; when the few which were spared sheltered those to whom little was left save honor, and when our guns were buried at Appomattox, and our tattered banners were reverently furled, we left Virginia with heavy hearts, sorrowing mostly for the people we were leaving in sore distress—a people ond. Things have changed, however. We have yearned for Virginia and Richmond many years, and on to Richmond is again the watchword. The old flag we furled at Appomattox is again unfurled to the breeze, the bands are playing Carry Me Back to Old Virginia, and we are again marching between long lines of friends—there are some teas of our war, after the roar of their guns had been heard on every battlefield in Virginia, then only was their tattered, torn and bloodstained banner furled at Appomattox. But the scene changes. After a lapse of twenty-five years the march to Old Virginia is resumed. The old veterans of many a campaign are now accompanied by a

resumed. The old veterans of many a campaign are now accompanied by a stalwart battalion of young soldiers, who have grown up since war's alarms have ceased, and old and young are here with us to give tribute and praise to our old commander, Robert E. Lee, in the unveiling of a monument in bronze, enduring forever, to his high character. And now, comrades of the young company, I have the honor to present to you this memento from our departed guests, immortelles from the bier of Jefferson Davi cherished relics of the past. Captain Hutchinson. Captain Hutchinson in receiving the gift said: I am not much of a speech-maker, but I cannot refrain from the expression of our sincere thanks for the memento presented.

rginia through lines of brave-hearted but tearful mothers, sisters, wives and children, whom many of us ne'er would see again. In Virginia we met a welcome, such as could be given only by a people whose men were knightly soldiers, and whose women were as heroic as they were lovely. Shoulder to shoulder with such soldiers, in the midst of such a people, and catching the inspiration of the majestic mountains, lovely valleys, beautiful rivers, sparkling brooks and crystal springs which Washington, Jackson and Lee loved so well, is it strange that we were incited to high resolves, and that honor perched upon our banners wherever our guns were heard? Soon the fortunes of war cut us off from our Louisiana homes, and the heart of Old Virginia grew all the warmer toward us. Every home was open to us, and Virginia mothers became mothers to us; and when want and famine came, the homeless men of the far South were still remembered with even greater tenderness by a people who forgot thei

Lee will go after you with the cavalry, and you know what that means. We remember the way the cavalry had of bringing the boys into camp, but we thought they had a habit of keeping them out of Richmond. Things have changed, however. We have yeity of Petersburg, and soon we are home again in Richmond. All is joy and gladness, except when old friends come to us asking for those they knew and loved long ago and to whom we can only say, They are with us no longer; they have gone to join Lee and Jackson in the eternal camping-ground. Their bowed heads and glistening eyes silently tell of the love those dear people bore our boys. The great day has arrived—the long lines of veterans are formed—they are Virginia's honored guests in t
