us, a Centurion of the tenth legion, that in the outset of a battle he addressed his men in a bit of fervid speech, and turning to Caesar said: General, I shall deserve your thanks today, dead or living. LaTour Dauvergne the first Grenadier of France was as famous as private soldier could be. The glory with which his name is surrounded is based on the clearest of facts; in 1767 at the age of 23 years, he entered the army. His heroism and successes were legion. His friend Le Brigand had lostonor. His heart was embalmed, placed in an urn and carried with the regiment down to 1814, these orders were religiously observed, on the 30th of last March the mortal remains of this wonderful private soldier were committed to the government of France and now rests beneath the dome of Les Invalides near the tomb of the illustrious Turenne. I wish to portray your dead in some feeble approach to these mighty men entered into glory. To that end I asked through the press, which is always at at

of that struggle of giants from the underside, from the side of the rank and file, as any citizen of our State; I put it on record as coming from such a source that the soldiers of our State were as brave, as gloriously brave, as any soldiers who shared our common cause, whether they came from Virginia, from Texas, from the broad Savannas of the South, but no braver. Twelve companies of infantry were enrolled in Catawba county, and served during the war between the government and the Confederate States: (1) Company A, 12th North Carolina Regiment; (2) B, 23d North Carolina; (3) C, 28th North Carolina; (4) E, 32d North Carolina; (5) F, 32d North Carolina; (6) K, 35th North Carolina; (7) F, 38th North Carolina (8) K, 46th North Carolina; (9) I, 49th North Carolina; (10) F, 55th North Carolina; (11) E, 57th North Carolina; (12) E, 72d North Carolina.

but we go straight to our dead, to our soldiers whose whitened bones still mark in lines the spot of the last stand made by the South in that memorable struggle for the constitution as the fathers made it. To the dead we give our homage, before them we uncover, and if there be guidance by immaculate spirits for their fellowship left behind, yet awhile in our corruptible state we kiss their withered white hands revealed from the spirit land and bid them await our coming. Finally ye men of Catawba, brave men of historic sires. Is there any man, woman, child or denizen happier because of this Revolution of our constitution? The finest action is the better for a piece of purple, says Robert Louis Stevenson. The high key in which the lives of our most illustrious leaders was pitched reinforces humanity. The key-note of the stormy orchestra of guns is the reverberation of noble souls. These men were not reared in the school of fear. Farewell. [Referring to page 66, not

mighty men entered into glory. To that end I asked through the press, which is always at attention for instances of personal valor above the common lot of virtuous manhood, I got one answer, and I would put this man and his friends upon a pinnacle of glory, but you would say that our orator is retained for special, interests. In that conflict which staggered the government and exhausted the resources of the South, the shock of ideas was as great as the shock of arms. Victor Hugo said of Waterloo, it was not a battle, it was a change of front of the universe. The surrender at Appomattox wrought a change of front of a hemisphere. William H. Seward's Higher Law skulking in the Hinterland of the constitution, William Lloyd Garrison's denunciation of the constitution as a league with hell and covenant with damnation, John Brown's invasion upon the soil of a soverign state, the killing of citizens within its peace, inflammatory and murderous appeals from pulpit, from vane, from innumer

United States. The struggle is passed. The events of it which were the most tumultuous and energetic in their accomplishment are feint, the memory of old help and common peril remains a precious heritage. Nightly since I have dreamed of encounters 'twixt thyself and me. Our government has become a world power; it is upon the firing line of nations and engaged in raising hornets for market. We have four constitutions instead of one. We have oversea colonies, hunting grounds in the Pacific Ocean over which we shoot. Perhaps a million of human beings have died at our hands in these aggressions. It is said that true reconcilement now obtains betwixt north and south. The word of the government is law upon this half of the globe We adorn the graves of their dead, yet my countrymen, my dear, precious ladies, mothers, sisters, daughters, I cannot forget the past. I cannot applaud the murder of an uncle then more than seventy years old, a devoted union man shot to death upon his f

Address delivered at Newton, North Carolina, Before the Annual reunion of Confederate Veterans August 20th, 1904, By Colonel Risden Tyler Bennett, late of 14th N. C. Troops, C. S. A. [The admirable spirit of this address is in happy contrast to other allusions from prominent men of North Carolina. For the achievements of the Fourteenth North Carolina Regiment, see North Carolina Regiments 1861-5, Vol .I, pp. 905-62, and for the addresses by Col. Bennett, The Morale of the Confederate, and The Private Soldier of the C. S. Army, see Vols. XXII and XXV, Southern Historical Society Papers.—Ed.] Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Soldiers: I am delighted to meet this great company of Christian people. The reason shall presently be made manifest. In yonder hall of justice a court was begun and holden twenty-four years ago, the last Monday in this current month, it was my first term as judge. I held it in humility of spirit, supported by a mutilated Confederate soldier. Nig

mirable spirit of this address is in happy contrast to other allusions from prominent men of North Carolina. For the achievements of the Fourteenth North Carolina Regiment, see North Carolina Regimenrom the vogue of to-day, which clamors to have a sort of precedence accorded the soldiers of North Carolina in the War: First at Bethel, See appended editorial from the Danville Register Oct. 17th,he inference to be extorted from this reverent but exaggerated apostrophe to the soldiers of North Carolina is not of historical proportion. The Southern people were an homogenious population; no cral artillery were taken, and it is three-quarters of a mile northwest and in advance of the North Carolina monument. However, this was not the limit of the Fourteenth Cavalry's advance movement. Mrd the old landmark away since the war. It is estimated that this is a mile in advance of the North Carolina monument; but the Fourteenth Cavalry attained a position probably a half mile in advance of

Two years later I met the yeomanry of Catawba County on the Hustings upon this court green: I told them that I was born in the ranks of the plain people, a circumstance not to be paraded nor denied, and I knew their wants; I remember saying that among some savage tribes when a child is grievours of our State were as brave, as gloriously brave, as any soldiers who shared our common cause, whether they came from Virginia, from Texas, from the broad Savannas of the South, but no braver.
