C ERAL II'CL ELLAW
TO TIE GRADUATES OF WEST
POINT.

All nations have days sacred 10 the re-
mcmbrance of joy and of grief They
have thank sgiving for success fasting ard
prayers in the hour Of humiliation and
defeat ;riumphs and p@ans to greet the
living, laurel crowned victor. They have
obscquies and eulogies for the warrior
slain on the field Of battle. Such is the
duty we are TO perform to-day. The
poetry, the histories, the oration of an
tiquity all resound with the clang Of arms.
They dwell upon the rough deeds Of war
rather than the gentle acts Of peace. They
have preserved TO us the names of heroes
and the memory of their deeds even to this
distant day. Our own Old Testament
teens with the narration of brave actions
and heroic deaths of Jewish patriots,
while the New Testament of our meek
and suffering Saviour often selects the
soldier and his weapons to typify and IL
lustrate religious heroism and duty. The
stories of the actions of the dead have
frequently survived, in the lapse Of ages,
the names of those whose fall was COM
memorated centuries ago. But, although
we have not now the names of all the
brave men who fought and fell upon the
plain of Marathon, in the pass of Their
moDyle and on the hills of Palestine, we
have not lost the memory of their exam
pies. AS long as the warm blood courses
the veins of man, as long as the human
heart beats high and quick at the recital
of brave deeds and patriotic sacrifices, so
long will the lesson still incite generous
men to emulate the heroism of the past.
Among the Greeks it was the custom that
the father Of the most valiant of the slain
should pronounce the eulogies of the dead
Sometimes it devolved upon their great
statesmen and orators to perform this
meurnful duty. Would that new De
mosthenese or a second Pericles could
arise and take my place to-day; for he
would find theme worthy of bis most
brilliant powers, of his most touching
eloquence. L stand here not as an orator,
but as the whilom commander, and in the
place of the father of the most valiant OF
the dead. AS their comrade, too, on
many hard fought field against domestic
and foreign foes-in early youth and ma
ture manhood-moved by all the love
that David felt when he poured forth his
lamentation for the mighty father and son
who fell at Mount Gilboa. God knows
that David's love for Jonathan was nc
more deep than mine for the tried friends
of many long and eventful years, whose
names are TO be recorded upon the struc-
ture that is to rise upon this spot. Would
that this more than mortal eloquence
could grace my lips and do justice to the
theme.
We have met to-day, my comrades, to
do honor TO our own dead brothers uni
ted to US by the closest and dearest ties,
who have freely given their lives for their
country in this war, so just and righteous,
so long as its purpose is to crush rebellion,

1t seemed a saddening thing
To see him seize butterfly.
And tear away its wing:
As if devoid of feeling quite;
I'm sure that this could not be right.
The patient horse and dog,
So faithful. fond and true,
And e'en the little leaping frog
Are often abused, too
By thoughtless men and boys who seem
OF others comfort not to dream.
Yet surely iii our breast

For twas our blessed Lords request
To use his creatures well;
And in his holy book we find
A blessing given to the kind.

nnhlpran,a Orders.

We are CAD to learn that il Is the intention Of the
Government TO send to Europe photographs cOpes Of
the orders found on DAhlgrens body, with the object
of laying them before the various Governments Of the
civilized world Thus they VII be placed in possession
Of direct evidence Of the spirit with which the Yankees
conduct this War-A spirit which has found, perhaps
ia most hdeous expression in the contemplated aOci
les Of Dlhgren and Fitzpatrick. The Yankees, just
s vas TO be imagined deny the authenticity of these
ders, and charge the Confederate authorities with
forging or interpolaiiag them. I0deed, the emphss
With which they repudale the detected but Intellectual
in.eat could be CquAled oily by the demoniacal joy
Eith which they would have greeted It's consummAton.
But under present circumstances they have nothing
70 compensate them for the odu they have incurred
The world, they know, will stand aghast with horror
At the disclosure of their saaglnary wickedness, and
uil condemn as 40 legendary and murderer the man
whom they Attenp. to eXalt as hero and martyr
Is Is natural therefore, tiat they should wish to break
the force Of the revelation BY stouty denying the
thsnticty Of the documents on which it Is based It
Is forturae that possess the means, both Of vndi
eating Ourselves AgRins; the charge which the Yankees
have ingeniousy thrown out against Us, and Of
vIctirg them before the tribunal Of the world.
We do not, for mOmen', suppose tha! this result
will produce any material fscti that 1t will have
any direct influence on the conduct, towards US, Of
European Governments. 1t Is true that Mr. Gladstone
did, few years ago, enlivsn thu House of Commons,
and thrill the sluggish blood of England, by his denun
ciAtlOrs Of the bArbartes of King BOmba, AMI that
the Bciush Government earned lltte cheap glory by
intervening 10 behalf Of the Nea OltAn State prison
ers; but Mr. Gladstone and the whole English Cabinet
have looked oOmplaoenty for three years series
Of systematic barbaritss committed BY the Yankees,
far exceeding those of the King of Naples. as the
atrocities Of Kidd or Murri surpass those of a com
mon smuggler or cut purse. But wo STALL surely con-
vince the world that foes destitute of honor Of

Cavalry Hardships.

Complaint is made tia soma Of the very best men
