we have inscribed on this beautiful tablet. My friends, there is a deeper lesson for us and our children in these memorials to our dead than the natural gratification of surviving friendship and love. They bear us witness that the sons of Carolina do not blush for the history of their State! A land without dead heroes is a land without aspirations and hopes! A State without monuments is a State without examples! History may record the failures, or the mistakes, or the unwisdom ofesteem. The defence of Charleston, in which Captain Frank Harleston bore his faithful part, will ever be as honored and as honorable as the defense of Charleston nearly a hundred years before it. Fort Sumter is as bright a star on the shield of Carolina as the Palmetto Fort of 1776! The names of the officers and men who for four years defended Fort Sumter against the combined and continued assaults of the army and navy of the United States will never be forgotten in South Carolina.

Captain Francis Huger Harleston. By Rev. (General) Ellison Capers. [The following address was delivered at the Citadel, Charleston, S. C., on the occasion of the unveiling of the Mural Tablet erected to the memory of Captain Francis Huger Harleston, and both as a tribute from a gallant soldier to one of Sumter's heroic defenders, and as the delineation of the character of a fair specimen of the men who wore the gray, it is worthy of preservation.] In April, 1860, seven young gentlemen graduated from this academy: Francis Huger Harleston, A. J. Norris, A. S. Gaillard, William E. Stoney, S. S. Kirby and Frank deCaradeuc. With high hopes and happy hearts they formed their class on commencement day for the last time, and taking their place in rear of the escort of their fellow-cadets, marched out of the archway, to the Hibernian Hall. A brilliant audience, in fullest sympathy with the occasion, greeted the procession. As I recall the scene to-day, though twenty-four y

s, from the simple earth-work you see to-day! The fort was destroyed, the guns dismounted, the barracks burned over the soldiers' heads, and, later on, the magazine exploded, the dead and wounded strewing the ground, while the heaviest artillery of the age continuously concentrated its fire against the ruin, and assault after assault attempted its capture; yet Fort Sumter never surrendered! When, at last, after defying the army and navy of the United States for four years, and with Fort Moultrie and the forts and batteries of the harbor, and the Confederate army on the islands and the main, all the defenders of Charleston were ordered to North Carolina for the final struggle, then, sir, (to Major T. A. Huguenin,) did you, as the last commander of the fort, withdraw your brave comrades from that immortal post. <*> can well imagine the feelings of those men as they quietly got into the boats, and, with muffled oars, rowed away to Charleston!

nd cares, time is not recorded in its rapid flight, and the years come and go without our notice. And what years we have known since that commencement-day! Who of us who heard Harleston's valedictory dreamed of the future that was immediately before those young men? Who of us imagined that within four years five of the seven were to seal their devotion to Carolina with their heart's blood, dying as true heroes die, at the post of their duty? DeCaradeuc, in Virginia; Erwin, on Sullivan's Island; Kirby, at Rivers' Bridge, on the Saltkehatchie; Gaillard, mortally wounded at Bentonville; Frank Harleston, at Fort Sumter! And if Stoney and Norris are not with their classmates to-day, in the silent bivouac of the gallant dead, it is not because they did not freely offer their lives to their country. Graduating in April, 1860, but a few months elapsed before South Carolina called her sons to arms. Harleston's class promptly answered the summons. The cadets were sent to M

The University of North Carolina has erected a Memorial Hall, and dedicated it to the memory of her sons who have died in the honorable fulfilment of their responsibilities, whatever their callings in life! Fellow-graduates, ex-cadets, and cadets of the South Carolina Millast, after defying the army and navy of the United States for four years, and with Fort Moultrie and the forts and batteries of the harbor, and the Confederate army on the islands and the main, all the defenders of Charleston were ordered to North Carolina for the final struggle, then, sir, (to Major T.

The names of the officers and men who for four years defended Fort Sumter against the combined and continued assaults of the army and navy of the United States will never be forgotten in South Carolina. They will live in hallowed recollection of their splendid conduct, in admiration of their skill and courage, and in grateful memory of their self-sacrifice. It was the lot of Harleston to give ground, while the heaviest artillery of the age continuously concentrated its fire against the ruin, and assault after assault attempted its capture; yet Fort Sumter never surrendered!

he did not return, they sought for him, and found him in his agony. He was borne into the fort that he had fought for so gallantly, and his heart's blood flowed upon her stones, consecrating them by that crimson baptism. Four hours of intense suffering, borne in unmurmuring fortitude, and the death he deemed for honor sweet came to his relief, and Frank Harleston's duty was done! Friends and comrades bore his body, dressed in his uniform, to the church-yard at Stansberry, on the Cooper river, and he was laid to rest by the side of kindred dust—in the flower of his youth, the pride of his family, the brave among the bravest, the true among the truest; the gentle, the modest, the strong and faithful soldier Note.—The Tablet is of pure, white marble, chaste and beautiful in its execution, and bears this inscription: Laurae Parenii Coronatus.
