''Ovcr old Sumpter, hlackencd and scanned,
| Over our Land now twice redeemed.
Over our Veterans, scaled with scars,
Ffutters our flag, with its glorious stars"
| But heroic deeds, in the dire ar
bitramcnt Of battle, are not per-
formed without peril.
Let me name the list of those who
survived the fields of carnage, but
escaped not the murdcrous missiles
Of the enemy, most Of whom recov-
cred from their wounds, and brought
home with them those almost covet-
ed, honorable sears Of their coun-
try's service:

Hitherto l have spoken to you as
though the rolls of the round hun
dreds are all but filled with living
returned soldiers, nov again en-
gagged in the pursuits of civil life
Alas. Did l produce here the orig
inal rosters, around what numbers
OF names must we draw the heavy
black lines Of mourning. l have no
words to speak Of the burdened sor-
rows of fathers and brothers, when
compelled to realize that the soldier
son or brother could never come
home again, Of the neyer-to-be-heal-
ed heart wounds of sisH.~ and
wives, when they knew thu those
dcaror to them than life itseA were
wounded unto death, Of the woe
swept heart Of the mother, who sent
forward her eldest and her youngest
when there came the dread certain
ty that her country had required
the sacrifice Of him for whom she
had prayed, protect him, Father!
Bless my boy"
Whilst time will not permit to
mention all those who have suffered
disability through disease and ex-
posture, | feel sure you will bear
with me whilst | name the list of
those who died in the service and
from its effects, who have never re-
turned to explain that mysterious
missing in action" who have shed
their blood so generously as to not
long survive the patriotic offering
and who fell immediate victims of
treason, and unqualified sacrifices
Of Liberty.
The pleasures of reunion with you
to-day are not for such as the mild
and genial Capt. Haslip, the stern,p pa
triotic old Capt. Drips, the cxem-
plary, good, christian, Brush and
all the others
"Wlose silent tents are spread
On Famc's eternal camping ground"
If it be true that the spirits of de-
parted friends may hover near con-
genial scenes on earth, then are our
unshrouded comrades near US
Whilst we linger here in pleasing.
associations, and with love and rev
erent esteem, we call the muster roll
of our heroic dead:
