ired. This is not the result of neglect, but rather of the imperfection of the newly-formed Government.--The wonder is, that so much has been accomplished in so short a time. If, therefore, you should occasionally suffer somewhat, remember your revolutionary sires. Your sufferings are small compared to theirs; no Southern soldier will be called on in this holiest of all causes to undergo the privations and sufferings of the army which could be traced in blood across the frozen plains of New Jersey. A paternal Government looks to you to maintain it, and I know it will not look in vain. "I say it looks to you, citizen soldiers, and relies only on your own brave hearts and stalwart arms to achieve the independence of the Confederate States. We must not trust to foreign intervention to accomplish that which can be accomplished by your own prowess and bravery. England and France, like all other nations, will be controlled by their own interests, which may or may not accord with y

ith an air from the band, Rev. Mr. Jones, chaplain of the 8th, made a fervent and touching prayer, after which the Hon. Mr. Semmes, Attorney-General of Louisiana, made a short speech to the assembly. He said: "Citizen soldiers of the Confederate States of America ! An accidental visit to the battle-field of Manassas plains has afforded me the pleasure of being a participator in the ceremonies of to-day. I have, with great hesitancy, yielded to a request made but a few moments since, by your cew Jersey. A paternal Government looks to you to maintain it, and I know it will not look in vain.

"When I lift my eyes from the fatal spot whLouisiana alone, but of every Confederate patriot. "When I lift my eyes from the fatal spot where the patriot breathed his last and survey the magnificent country within reach of vision, and when I behold this array of patriot soldiers assembled on the battle-field, to do honor to the patriot blood of your martyr-hero, Bartow? I only speak as I do to manifest to you that the heart of Louisiana and of every Confederate State beats in unison with yours: Falter not, therefore, but follow t

ents since, by your commanding officer, to make a few remarks to you upon this interesting occasion. My hesitancy arises from the consciousness that the voice of Georgia should be heard at the planting, by Georgians, of a monument to commemorate the locality of the fall of their gallant Bartow. This hesitancy has given way, howev to the reflection that fortune, perhaps, has favored the occasion for the manifestation of that paternal sympathy which Louisiana feels for the loss sustained by Georgia, and it would be improper, perhaps, to decline giving vent to those feelings which I know swell the heart of every true son of Louisiana--yes, and not of Louisiany not accord with yours. Rely, therefore, on yourselves, for that is your safest and, perhaps, your only reliance. "But why should I address the soldiers of Georgia?

Richmond with his brother, and that Mr. Toombs was too ill to be present. The services were delayed no longer, and the soldiers were ordered to form in rank to proceed to the spot. The 7th, 6th and 9th Georgia, and the Kentucky regiment, under Col. Taylor, formed in a square around the prostrate shaft, with the officers and civilians in the centre. A few ladies were present, and among them Mrs. Braneb, mother of Adjutant Branch, of the 8th Georgia, who was also killed in the battle of Stone Bridge. The day was beautiful, and the scenery around perfectly charming. Standing upon an eminence, the whole battle-field was spread out before us, with its patches of wood land and desolated field. Beyond were thriving farms and hillside covered with corn, while in the distance the Blue Ridge stood out boldly against the sky. The picture was indeed beautiful and worthy the pencil of a Claude. But a few yards away was the small field which proved the mausoleum of so many New York Zouav

e planting, by Georgians, of a monument to commemorate the locality of the fall of their gallant Bartow. This hesitancy has given way, however, to the reflection that fortune, perhaps, has favored thf another and a holier sphere. "Emulate, my friends, the courage and devotion of your noble Bartow. Remember his parting words, breathed forth while in the agony of death on this blood-stained ftated on us, raises his arm in a cause far holier than that of our revolutionary sires. Emulate Bartow in daring, in courage, in devotion; but forget not the conduct of the fathers of the Revolution the field rather than give up this glorious cause, consecrated by the blood of your martyr-hero, Bartow?

Miss Semmes, and then by the privates. This concluded the ceremonies, and preceded by the excellent band, the regiments marched again to their various camps. I have thus given you a hasty sketch of the day's proceedings, but cannot do justice to the interesting occasion, or say half I wish to in memory of the noble man who fell in defence of his country on the spot where this plain white marble shaft is standing, bearing his dying words. I regret to see that a slight error has been made in the inscription, which will hand down in history a much less forcible sentence than that really spoken by Bartow. He said, "They have killed me, boys, but never give it up." This inscription reads, "Never give up the field." The mail arrangements are very bad here, and I fear for the transmission of my letters to you. They may be delayed, which would almost entirely destroy their value. I will do the best I can, until I can get the matter systematically arranged. Gustave Mayer.
