still the thunders of the cannonade. Peple—Munsey. Here is the first peace monument of the nation, where the flag of the Southern cross and the Star Spangled Banner are graven on the same rock to say: Peace rules the day, where reason rules the mind. Nearly two thousand years ago Julius Ceasar invaded the British islands and forced the Celtic race to yield to his Roman Eagles; afterward the Saxons planted their banners on the land of the conquered people, and in turn the battle of Hastings brought Englishmen under Norman rule. But these invasions gave new arts that stimulated recovery from spoliation. The war of the roses in the fifteenth century made bitter days for England, and perhaps the lessons Britain learned from adversity aided in making her mistress of all the seas. The Northmen came upon us in 1861 to save the Union. They despoiled our homes, and made poverty and deep humiliations possess our fair Southland. By preponderance of arms they forced us to surrender

anned away the smoke and flame; Hushed the red battle's roar—God called her peace. She sheathed the dripping sword; her soft hands pressed Grim foes apart, who scowled in anger deep. She laid two grand old standards down to rest, And on her breast rocked weary war to sleep. From land and sea she swept mad passion's glow, Yet left a laurel for the hero's fame; She whispered hope to hearts in grief bowed low, And taught our lips, in love, to shape her name. Peace spreads her pinions wide from South to North; Black enmity within the grave is laid, The church towers chime their holy anthems forth, To still the thunders of the cannonade. Peple—Munsey.

and kindle the flame for this (monument) stone vestal lamp to light the path of honor and glory forever? Yes. It is Portsmouth striking the cords of civic pride in the hearts of her young people. Looking backward, you see her sons, in the long ago, bearing the goddess of virtue, pass through the gates of honor and place upon the brow of Portsmouth a crown of fame. Now her young people bow in prayer around the monument of her heroes as the altar of good will and peace between all the Ammen for honor and country; stood up for homes and firesides; stood up for priceless virtue and the glory of our city of Portsmouth. These veteran artillerymen strikingly illustrate the truth, that honor lies not in wealth or emoluments, but only lags is also a vestal lamp for peace between all the Commonwealths of the American Union. It is a peace monument which Portsmouth dedicates today. Vesta, the sister of Jupiter, was the household goddess. So great was her devotion to virginity th

I do not mean to draw any distinction between Grimes' soldiers and the men of Craney Island under brave Emmerson, for that glorious victory saved our twin towns from destruction, and no braver soldiers stood up on any field of blood. It was said thatshot which sunk the Centipede, resulting in the retreat of the British. Resolutions were offered in the General Assembly of Virginia tendering the heroes of Craney Island a vote of thanks, and directing the Governor to present swords to Major James Faulkner, Captain Arthur Emmerson, Lieutenant Parke G. Howle and Lieutenant Thomal symbol for purity in womanhood and honor in manhood. The men of the names on this stone stood like a wall of steel and iron for the safety of our town, at Craney Island in 1813, and like a stone wall for State's rights and our city's honor and glory in 1861-65. The spirit of chivalry and the patriotism of peace have erected

ads, and then the dove of peace flew from the North, bringing home the emblems of war, which had waved in our comrades' hands on many bloody fields of honor, and some had fallen from the dead hands of our color bearers, to go into the forum for the victor's trophies. What Southern soldier will not respond to these beautiful tokens of peace out of the fullness of heart? All hail. Peace in the hearts of Northmen! All honor! for the true Southern souls which follow the white plumes of Fitz Lee, Gordon and Wheeler into the realms of charity and forgiveness! All, glory! to the men of the South and the North who strive onward with one mind for the honor and safety of the republic! M. W. Allen, Wilson B. Lynch, John H. Thompson and other soldiers of the Portsmouth Light Artillery, living and dead, whose names are inscribed on this shaft, are the types of manhood who welcome peace. Although this Union was made indissoluble by blood and iron, against their will, Robert E. Lee

It was said that the valiant Emmerson fired the shot which sunk the Centipede, resulting in the retreat of the British. Resolutions were offered in the General Assembly of Virginia tendering the heroes of Craney Island a vote of thanks, and directing the Governor to present swords to Major James Faulkner, Captain Arthur Emmerson, Lieutenant Parke G. Howle and Lieutenant Thomas Godwin, and gold medals to Sergeants William P. Young and Samuel Livingston and Corporal William Moffett, three non-commissioned officers of the Portsmonth Light Artillery Company, for their zeal and gallantry in this action. So the faces of this monument bear the names of soldiers of two wars, as valiant as ever trod battlefields of any nation—equal honor for the heroes of the years 1813 and 1861-65. Fellow citizens, well do you praise them by graving their names with an iron pen on t
