and Sergeant Jenkins, and EiSdteRnffti
Morrison and Colonel Frost, and many
others, who sacrificed their lives in de-
tense of their country, is token of
Misrepresentation of their patriotism and
bravery And when I think of the
soldiers that have gone from West Vir-
ginia, 1 am proud of our young State.
They have acted II brave part, and erect
ed for themselves monument on the
pages of history which will remain
through all coming generations. But
my friends let us not forget those who
have tullen. We mourn their loss this
day. We mourn the loss of so many
brave and good men. We mourn the
loss of Abraham Lincoln, also, our great
and illustriouS President, who conduct
ed lis safely through the struggle, and
was then suddenly hurried out of this
world into another. Yetwe bless God he
was permitted to live as long as lie did:
that we had his wisdom, patriotism and
honesty to guide us safely through the
storm. And, AS l heard n gentleman
say not long ago, "there is grand
national monument that has been i'm
process of erection for n number of
years i'll Washington City, on the foun-
"GEoRGE WAsHINGToN," The various
States have brought i'll their stones with
their respective notices. And then thew
had to stop for Il while to see whether
we were to continue to be a nation and
would really need the national monu-
ment or not. But now TINT experiment
is decided. We area nation; and the
glorious National Monument will as
cend, and on the cap stone of that mon
ument will be engraved ABRAHAM
LINCOLN Enthusiastic npplanse.)
Great and wonderful is the work he
has accomplished for us. Ihave some
times thought, when he was sailing
down the Mississippi river, on his tlnf2
boat, if an angel had come from Hnny-
ed and told him he was to be the eInnn-
cipator of four millions of human be-
ings,-hnd told him that lie was to lend
the American nation thrOuph itLo Cyroof-
est civil war thnt had ever been In the
world: he could not have believed tSof
angel. Yet God raised him nm. having
upon him us he followed the sIeaiinS.s
OF Providence until he had nccomplis6-
ed ii.
And now. my fellow-citizens lot ms

great and glorious thinus God has done
for us. and how very rnnitllv under

There never was ANYTHING like it in
the history of the world And. q
it was marvellous to think that
