brothers than any member of the bar now present.
Mr.. Holderby's short professional career was spent
in this place and came under my immediate obSer-
vation Nature had done much for him. He
liberal and generous to fault. There was moth
ing selfish about him. He was amongst the first
to enter the army in defence of his country, and
from disease contracted in camp, now lies IN the
cold and silent grave. We have lost him in the
prime of life and the fullnesS of promise.
Capt Glenn was my SChOOlmate in early boy
hood. We grew up together and were always init
mate friends. lie is now gone, but 1t affords me
sad pleasure to forward to-day and bear teSti-
mOny TO his many virtues and his great worth. In
addition to his legal learning, which was extensive,
he had, by industry and perseverance, acquired
fund of general knowledge which | have not met
with in any man of his age. | need not speak of
him in this presence; he is too we'll known to re-
quire any eulogy from me- We remember him as
high toned accomplished gentleman, sound law
yer, the oil our S)cla circles;
but beg leave to bear testimony to his chivarouS
character in another respect. | have known him
as soldier For twelve months we were associated
as officers, That energy of character which would
have secured to him, had he been spared, our high
est honors, always placed him at the post of duty.
He was distinguished in the army for his prompt
and efficiency as an officer and at the same
time, his kindness towards bis subordinates. Al
low me to say that this is a of peculiar hard
ship. Capt. Glenn surrounded by all that
heart could desire. In the prime of manhood, the
future opening brightly before him, surrounded
with wealth, kind friends and yet more than all
lovely and accomplished wife and three bright and
promising little boys-everything it seems hound
him to earth, and yet he has given up his life in
defence Of his country. Ee fell as he had lived at
the post of duty, and sleeps fur from all
that is aRd dear TO him, within the lines of
the enemy in the State of Maryland. lie fell in
the midst of battle, and was buried by his COM
rades on the field of action in grave dug with
their hayOnetS.
Mr.. Gimer spoke eloGuently and with much feel
ing of the deceased lie had known Mr.. Iolicrhy
rartlally-with Capt Glenn he was much better
acquainted. They both promised much Ito their
friends and their country. The bar had suffered
much by this dSpenSation of Providence
Col. Watt said that our friends were both MARTYRS
Mr.. Holderby none the less so because he had
fallen a victim to disease contracted in camp
They were both martyrs for opinions sake, for
ll9lon and country. lie had recently visited camp
and afforded him pleasure say that he heard but
opinion to Capt. GlennS gallantry. He died
nobly, and was buried in a grave dug with the
bayonetS of his comrades.
Mr.. Caldwell said that he had no personal &C
quantance with Mr.. Hollerby but had always
heard him spoken of in the highest terms With
Capt Glenn he was well acquainted. Capt Glenn
WAS always determined to do his duty, and let con-
sequences take care of themselves. When ne met
tnur to one in Maryland he still did his duty, and
fell at the post of Duty true, brave and an hon
est man.
Col Scott was partially acquainted with Mr.
ll@dcrby, but always heard him spoken of in the
highest terms. He had fallen a victim to disease
contracted i'll camp in the prime of manhood
With Capt. Glenn he was much better acquainted
lie was ripe scholar, good lawyer, and an ac-
co'aplishcd gentleman. Col. Scott paid glowing
tribute to Capt. Glenn's many virtues and touched
all present by his pathetic illusions to the wife and
children of Capt. Glenn.
Mr.. Gilmer moved that the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Greensboro Patriot
and the Raleigh Standard. Adopted.
-Ol. Watt moved that the Secretary Of this meet
in;; furnish copies of the proceedings to the widow
of Capt Glenn, and to the parents of Mr. Holder
by. Adopted
On motion of Mr. Gilmcr, the meeting then adj
juurned.
