n of these later days, our own kindred and neighbors, in loving memory too, and forever preserve the record of their matchless deeds? Let the mute eloquence of many memorial shafts throughout the South make answer. The women of the South in their bereavement, sorrow and poverty did not forget gratitude, and everywhere have placed lasting mementoes of the self-oblation of all Confederate dead—grander than their prototypes the modest column at Moore's Creek, or the simple stone to Sumner at Guilford, or the humble tomb that in the churchyard of St. James at Wilmington marks the resting place of Cornelius Harnett, by as much as our strife was greater than theirs. Lament them not; no love can make immortal, The span that we call life, And never heroes entered heaven's portal Throa fields of grander strife. Governor of North Carolina. On the 7th of July, 1861, John W. Ellis, Governor of North Carolina, died at the Red Sulphur Springs in what is now West Virginia, of consumption of

Eutaw Springs (South Carolina, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.45
no insults upon the memory of the brave men who fought on the other side. Only kindly admiration was expressed for gallant Scotchmen who died there. Nor is it expected of their descendants, our fellow citizens of to-day, as proof of present loyalty, that they shall condemn the action of their fathers. With General Frank Nash our kinsfolk went to death at Germantown, in the long ago. With Mad Anthony Wayne they went to that desperate bayonet charge at Stony Point; with Jethro Sumner at Eutaw Springs; with Morgan and Greene; with Davie, Davidson and Graham; with Hogan at Charleston-wherever duty called or danger was to be dared they were to be found until the end of that long struggle which ended successfully for them. Well, the swift years flew by, and in 1861 our State, whose behest we were ever taught is paramount to all, again summoned her sons to repel invasion and to uphold the right of self-government—and it cannot be too often or too strongly emphasized that they fought only

g its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Such a new government these States organized and established at Montgomery, Ala., in February, 1861. The States of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas were not parties to this movement. It was deemed best to wait further action by the people of the Northern States, or for an overt act, as it was termed. In February, 1861, an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina submitates both in favor of, and in opposition to, secession, and the result of the election was the defeat of the call for a convention by the small majority of 194 votes. A vote with a similar result, and by a much larger majority, was also had in Tennessee. For some reason it has been believed, and often stated, by many of our people that the majority of the State against the call of a convention was very large, some say overwhelming. Like many other popular beliefs, and much of so-called his

as its share old Ocean laves, We'll bow with reverence o'er our dead, And bless the turf that wraps their graves. Ladies of the Memorial Association This poor tribute to the deeds and memory of the Confederate dead, I have, at your honored bidding, laid upon their graves. Bear with me a moment longer while I add a word in behalf of the survivors of our great conflict, our veterans—the frail wrecks from that gory sea. Not in feeble language of my own—but in the touching lines of Frank Stanton, who makes such loving appeal for The Confederate soldier. Here he is in wreck of gray— With the brazen belt of the C. S. A. Men, do you know him? Far away Where the battle blackened the face of day, And the rapid rivers in crimson fled, And God's white roses were wrecked in red, His strength he gave and his blood he shed; Followed fearless where Stonewall led, Or galloped wild in the wake of Lee, In the daring mad artillery. Shelled the ranks of the enemy, For the South that was an<

to the tombs of the Revolutionary patriots, Francis Nash and Joseph Warren, of Edward Buncombe and William Davidson, who taught us rebellion—and died in teaching us—and make answer: Every tree is known by his own fruit. The land that gave the rebels George Washington and Patrick Henry, Richard Caswell and Jethro Sumner to lead and counsel the men whom we commemorate in centennial celebrations, gave also in these latter days Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Alexander Stephens and John C. Breckinridge, Leonidas Polk and Albert Sidney Johnston, worthy sons of noble sires. A good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit, neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Behold in these men the true exponents of the South and her cause, the outgrowth of her civilization! Does any land show their superiors? By them, our exemplars, let us be judged. But why multiply words? Let the whole world contemn, still will we love and honor the voiceless dust that lies here-aye and a

igh from the War Department at Washington: Gov. John W. Ellis: Call made on you by to-night's mail for two regiments of military for immediate service. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War. So North Carolina was to be required to make war upon her sister Southern States. But they reckoned without their host. Instantly the reply went back, bold, spirited, patriotic: Simon Cameron, Secretary of War: Your dispatch is received, and if genuine, which its extraordinary character leads me to doubt, I have to say in reply that I regard the levy of troops made by the Administration, for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South, as in violath of April Governor Ellis issued his proclamation summoning the legislature to meet on the 1st of May in extra session. In this proclamation, as in his reply to Cameron, and in his subsequent message to the legislature, he dwells especially and earnestly uwon the illegality, the unconstitutionality, of the acts of the United Sta
