sions OF war. To study its lessons is
prudence, to profit by its teachings
is wisdom. but to stir up the old ami

monument will not be for war, but for
peace. 1t will say to us the Confederacy
has expired; its great life went out on the
purple tide of blood that flowed from
the hearts OF her sOns-we have buried it
we do not intend to exhume its remaips

our resentment. Sadly we parted with the
dear old cross OF stars which we followed
through many a storm Of shot and shell,

stars and stripes l respond with feeling
to-day to the fraternal words of General
Bartlett, spoken at the centennial celebra-
