Unforgotten Heroes of
In his eloquent address to the mem
bers of the South Carolina Division of
Confederate Veterans at Columbia
(jen. James W. Moore, the orator cf
the occasi)n, said:
Colnrades of the South Carolina Di
vision of United Confederate Veter
an: We have met again to renew
the f-eenes of the past, to keep alive
the memory of others who mingled
with us in those t-cpnes and to recall
and commetnorate the heroic deeds of
those men who fought by our side'for
the rights of our people, and fighting,
died for the honor of our country. I
seo around me now mauy who fought
for our Lost Cause, who bear on their
bodies, and will carry to their graves,
tho scars of wounds received in that
desperate s'.uggle; men who went
forth at tho first tap of the drum, the
firBt blast of the bugle ?nd were over
faithful throughout the deadly agony
I of those four years of blood; and who,
when the great crash oanio, were
found faithful still, with their foot in
tho stirrups and their sabres buckled
on.
But I miss the faces of many who
mingled with us in those scenes.
They lie beneath the broad fields of
Virginia-the green slopes of Mary
land-the hills and dales of Pennsyl
vania-the red clay hills of Georgia,
and in the sacred soil of their own
loved Corolla. They will never
stand shoulder Ko shoulder in line of
battle again. They have answered
their last roll osll here, and are sleep
ing their quiet sleep in the bosom of
mother earth-they await the sound
ing of that reveille wbioh shall usher
in the dawn of tho great here&fter.
Their work is over. But wo, who
survive them, have yet our work to
do. Let us see to it well that we so
perform our duty that ample, oomplete
and perfcot justice be done to the
memory of men like these.
Justice to the memory of men like
these! How oan it be done? Kc ono
man oan pretend to do it; and each anrl
every one of us, one and ali,
must respond to this labor of love
this sacred duty enjoined upon us.
All that ? can hope to do today-all
that t shall attempt in the limited
time that I shall oooupy your atten
tion, will be to reoall a few teenes of
that great drama and to pay a passing

actors in those scenes, who, having
played their parts well while with us
here, have gone forth from among us
forever.
Asa soldier in the Hoe of hattie
takes oaro alone of the emmy in front
leaving the rest to tho brave beana and
the strong arms of his comrades on
his right hand and on his left hand,
so now when the battle is over and
peace reigns in the land, and we are
gathered together to speak of the
deeds of our heroic dead, I shall only
mention the names of some of those
with whom I was brought in more im
mediate oontaot; those who slept Sn
bivouap by my side; those with whom
I fought io the skirmish line, and
.rode with knee and knee in the head
long charge; soldiers who knew hut to
do their duty, whose spirits went up
s ?. id tho smoke and roar sf hattie,
and whoBC bodies lie beneath the
grion fields of that common country,
which guards sacredly in its bosom
tho' dead, who, while living, loved
that oountry so well. And going
forth as it were to visit the last rest
ing p?aot> of our dead, I oan only place
floral o?eringa on some of these far
off lonely graves, where, 'perchance,
there may be no flowers growing-no
?orland hanging; leaving others to the
oars of those who ehall follow me year
by year, until the grave of every dead
Confederate hero shall be entwined
with a wreath unfading and immor
tal.
It is hard, indeed, to realise that
more than forty , years have passed
a Why since we who survived the \t\te
wa/between the States, sadly ?furlr.?
our tattered hattie flags, and before
we took our woary way back to our
desolated homes turned and took one
long and lingering gase over the ik?ds,
where lay om- missing comrades, who
would never again answer roll call, or
hear again the reveille. Since then
the frosts of forty-one .wingara hive
whitened the fields abovo whioh hung
the dark, dark olouda and- o rook a
battle; and as many summers have
cast their peaceful green m so tia o ver
th? scene, while th? sower? of spring
have biddon &d ghastly sui cs cf r^zx
and bloomed sweetly over the grave?
of our fallen heroes. Alone wore
they left, but not forgotten.' Xr?ttjf'

the Great Lost Cause.
a cause that was holy aad sacred to
them; that they felt would sundy -/in,
and fell with the paeons of victory
ringing in their cart>. Thoso to whom
came a ?oldier'e death in thc noontide
of battle-wheo auccesa had crowned
the Confederate arms-when the
Suuthern crosa floated dcQaotly on the
hills of Maryland and Pennsylvania,
felt that victory wa? assured, and that
they died that their country might bc
free. But those who fell in those
last dark days of th 3 war, could only
look back at their ru:ncd and desolate
homes, and forward U> tho continued
struggle, as long as it was bitter, ap
j parently without end and without
j hope. But their mauhood and their
obedience to the call of duty sustained
them to the last, and truly were they
deserving of the inscription which
was written on the spot where Leon
nidas and his band died: "Tell it, O,
stranger, at Laoedamon that we died
in obedience to her laws." Truly,
cao we say that "theso were men
whom power could not eorrupt, whom
d jath oould not terrify, whom defeat
could not dishonor."
History has already embalmed the
names of thoea great Confederate gen
erals who hr.ve passed from the scenes
of this earth, and left alone tho mem
ory of their u?iaes and their deeds be
hind them. Lee, Jackson and Stuart
are types of these. The first, the
Commander-in-Chief of the Confed
erate army, the others his trusted
lieutenants.
The immortal chieftain, who led
the armies of our great Lost Cause,
was direoted and governed in all his
actions by the single word-duty. As
long aa his native State, to whom he
owed his first obedience, and whose
sovereignty he acknowledged above
all others, remained in the Union, his
sword rested in its sheath. But when
Virginia seceded from the Uoion and
oast her lot with her sister States of
the Confederacy, he took his place in
the line of battle, a Confederate sol
dier in for the war. During the long
years of the momentous strife, when
directing the oampaigns which made
him the central figure of that grand
straggle, towering high above C all
other actors in it, and which has
written his name in the history of
those times, as the great general of
toe war, no dream or fame led him
on-no thirst for glory lured him
from the straight path of duty before
hjm. His duty to his State and the
Confederacy was the Polar star, which
guided his oourse. And when,-after
ye aro of heroic endeavor ~ nd glorious
deeds, that army, guided hy his mas
terly genius, .had writi^a in their
blood and the blood of their enemies,
the most glowing page ' in the annals
I of war; and when the fateful moon of
Appomattox had dawned on them,
and ihobe weary, worn and starving
men were begging to fc* ordered for
ward onoe more to the battle, duty
was still his guiding star. See him,
s9 he received, through Col. Venable",
the message of the gallant Gord?n.
"Tell Gen. Lee I have fought my
corps to a frassle," and realising that
there was nothing else to do but treat
with Gen. Grant, and feeling,, SB he
expressed it, that he would rather
die a thousand deaths. Watch him,
as in. the agony of the moment he
glances at the ranks of his battlo
soarred veterans, and says. "How
easily I could get rid of all this, and
be at rest; I have, only to ride along
the lines and all will bo over; but it is
our duty to live; for what will become
of the women and ohildren of the
South if we are not there to protect
them." .
I Lee, great in viotory, greater still
i in defeat; who-e name will descend to
future generations, side by sido with
that of Washington ic tho storied
page of history. .
Io the history of thos generals of
tho Confederacy the name of Jackson
will always be associated with that of
Lee. Whether at the first Manaseas,
where, by his indomitable courage, he
gained for himself the nama of
"Stonewall"-his soriea of uapMalell

I io the great victory uf Cbanoeilors

but bought with a great price. It
cost tho life of Stonewall Jaokson.
No! I need not repeat it to you, you
who know so well the wondrous story
of this gr?a?. Confederate hero. It is
not necessary for ms to stop here to
delineate the character and talents of
Gen. Jackson. As long as unselfish
patriotism, Christian devotion and
purity of character and deeds of he
roism shaii command the admiration
of men, Stonewall Jaekeou's name
sad fame will be reverenced. Of all
who mourned his death none felt more
acutely the loss tho country and thc
army had sustained than Gen. Lee
Gen. Jackson had always appreciate*:
and sympathized with thc bold con
ceptions of tho commanding general
and entered upon their exeoi'.?'on will
the most cheerful alacrity and zeal
Geo. Lee never found it necessary t
accompany him to see that his plan
were carried out, but could alway
trust him alone; and well might h
say when Jackson fell that he hin
self, had "lost his right arm."
Stuart has boon spoken of aB a ga
cavalier, riding into battle at tho hes
of his squadrons, whistling a live!
air, or singing a gay song. So he
said to have led Jaokson'3 corps in
the battle of Chancellorsville, singh
"Old Joe Hooker, come out cf tl
Wilderness," and you will rememb
that Hooker, with alacrity, obeyed tl
order and put the Rappahanno*
once more between the 30,000 Confe
erates under Lee, and the one hundr
thousand men of the Army of the I
tomeo. That army, which had i
vanoed with ouch a grand flourish
trumpets, returned, beaten by. h
than one-third of its number, a
though cowering beyond the river
its intronohments, their boastful lc
er still declared it was the oustod
of its own honor; that it "fouj
when it pleased, advanced when
pleased, and retired wben it pie
ed."
You of the oavalry and horse ai
lery; . who followed the fortunes
Stuart through his brilliant campai
which ended ai Yellow Tavern; i
heard his merry laugh and saw
dancing plume as he rode at th? h
of his Southern horsemen to

there was nothing frivolous al

Let us wander, in imagination, to
the plains of Virginia and look upon

I Stuart's staff, commanding the signi
j corps of the cavalry of the Army <
I Northern Virginia, but where bis dui

I well. It wan in the summer of'6
I Jackson had made his great flat
I movement. He had destroyed ali tl
I military stores at Maoassas. Ho b:
I hold Pope in oheok, but the Fedei
I lines were closing in on him, and t
I great lieutenant was looking for he
j from the great captain. He was ac
j iously asking "Where *ris Loi

I asking 11 Where in Jackson?" Ht
j above them - all, on the top of 1

I There was a wild rush of trampl

j confusion, without his horse and
I his shirt sleeves, the captain of,

moment, stood the cavalry leaders,
with hand grasped in hand, like
blaok-wioged demon of war drew back ^
for aa instant, and the white robed v
angel of Peace hovered over the
scene. They parted. But soatoa
j had the waving plume of Stuart dis
appeared ia the distance, hardly the
ringing hoofs of his horse ceased to
sound, when the commander ot the
5th Virginia fell dead, with a carbine
ball through bis brain.
The slanting . rays of the setting
eun were falling on tho scene The
Federal commander, despairing of
reaching Richmond, had determined
to mass his troops together, and, cut
ting his way through a portion of the
thin lines opposiog hin to rejoin his
army. On onme the Federal oavalry
in ono ioug, unbroken line-their
trumpets sounding the advance from
000 end of the line to the other.
Tho gaps made in their ranks by the
Confederate horse artillery closed
again as soon as made. The weak
squadronb of Southern oavalry, which
charged them, were thrown .back from
their solid masses as the foam of the
o?r.a?i wave is dashed back from the
/oak bound shore. Aod with the
power of overwhelming numbers and
1 the determination that grows from
I desperation, the blue' torrent burst
through everything that opposed
them, and sought safety in the dark
ness of the night. They escaped
but they fired a Parthian shaft as
i ?bey went, and Lee's great command
er of horse fell, his life-blood Bowing
'.forlb on his last battle field. He had
saved Bichmond, and his dying mo
ments were doubtless gladdened by
the thought* of a duty well'performed.
But this thought could scarcely have
afforded moro pleasure than the re
memberanoe of the reconciliation with
the noble comrade in arms, who had
just gone before him. And Pate! He,
too, had sunk to rest justas the only
thorn, to disturb his repose, had been
mercifully taken from his pillow
Drawing bis sword at tbs first call of
hts country, he had pledged to the
cause of that country "his life, his
fortune and hie sacred honor.'- His
fortune had long ainoe been consumed
