e absurd to claim for any colony or section a moral superiority in this regard over any other. No purpose of emancipation was announced until the war had long been flagrant, and then the matter was handled as a mine in the heart of the Confederacy, to be exploded or not, as might prove most advantageous in the conflict of arms. General Hunter, early in the war, proclaimed emancipation in certain States, and Lincoln, in his own words, repudiated the proclamation. In his special message in 1862, asking Congress to pass a resolution that the United States ought to give pecuniary aid to the States which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery. Lincoln urged it as one of the most efficient means of self-preservation, upon the ground, that if by means of such action, some of the border States should adopt it, it would deprive the Southern States of all hope of retaining them in the Confederacy. To deprive them of this hope, he says, substantially ends the rebellion. In another Sta

As the full meaning of the scene burst upon her, the glorious face of this fair young girl, lit with filial love, grew brighter and brighter, until a halo shone about her, and she seemed transformed to a seraph, and we forgot that we looked upon a daughter of men. Even yonder dingy old building caught the inspiration, and shone from dome to pit with renewed whiteness, as it reflected back, in the April sun, the purity of that sweet picture of noble womanhood. There comes before us again the loved form of the man, of big heart and great brain, who was Alabama's governor during the stormiest years of her existence. We recall his manly face suffused with tears, when his chief lovingly placing his hands upon him, told how he had learned to lean upon him, in the sad days at Richmond, When Alabama took him from me there was none to take his place.

To the Confederacy's soldiers and sailors. Monument Unveiled on Capitol Hill, Montgomery, Alabama, with impressive ceremony, December 7, 1898. Instructive and eloquent speeches by prominent men. Southland Moans for its heroes. Reverence and patriotism guiding spirits of the occasion. Splendid oration by Ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones, with inspiring addresses by Colonel W. J. Sanford, Colonel J. W. A. Sanford, Captain Ben. H. Screws, and Hon. Hilary A. Herbert. Historic tribute of Alabama women. Five thousand earnest persons yesterday witnessed the unveiling of the Confederate monument on Capitol Hill. Close to the historic structure in which the Lost Cause was born, a marble shaft now rears aloft its figured crest in impressive tribute to those who died under the Stars and Bars. Cradle and tombstone stand side by side. And around them, their leafless branches murmuring a requiem mass in the autumn breezes, tremble a hundred trees transplanted from battle-fields wh
ce, to help and heal. Chiselled on the face of the monument, but more deeply graven on the soul of time, stand out 1861-1865. We have reared it as an appeal to the ages. We have placed it here as a defender of the patriotism and virtues of moreard it from the lips of men sprung from the loins of the dead soldier, that the motives and sacrifices of the men of 1861-1865, were the mad folly of misguided fathers, who waved hostile battle-flags against the genius of liberty in the New World, aunt from the camp of the enemy. And I believe it can be said without successful contradiction that when the war closed in 1865, more than fifty per cent. of the arms, accoutrement and equipment generally of the Confederate cavalry, bore the imprint ry important engagement of the Army of Tennessee, commencing with Shiloh, April 6th, 1862, and ending in North Carolina in 1865. Well do I remember the teachings of the gallant and lamented General Bowen, of Missouri. While we were at Camp Beaur

It is just as absurd to say that the war was fought over the justice or morality of slavery, as it would be to declare that the conflict with the mother country, was a dispute about tea thrown overboard in Boston harbor. How the Southerner viewed slavery. The Southerner was as much concerned with the moral aspects of slavery as any of his countrymen. As late as 1831, Virginia, by the narrow margin of one vote, failed to disestablish the institution—a result due more to assault without, than to support of the institution within the ancient commonwealth. Even under the unfavorable conditions existing in 1861, the number of manumissions in proportion to slaves, was largely on the increase in the Southern States. The ultimate fate of the institution, if it had been left to the South in the earlier half of the century—uninfluenced by assault from without—ca<
