FREEPoRT, May 30.-On the morning of
William P. Kendall commander, assisted
by Phil. Sheridan Camp, Sons of Veterans,
Capt. E. b. Mallett, and ladies of the Relief
Corps met at Grand Army Hall, at $50 a. m.
The line was formed at 9.45, Phil. Sheridan
Camp doing escort duty. marched to the
cemetery, headed by Freeport Band, Henry
Z. Davis leader, and decorated the graves Of
comrades. Returning to the hall, at II q. m,
the line was formed and marched to Porter's
Landing, putting the flowers on the graves,
then marched to Woodlawn cemetery where
the regular Grand Army service was given
by the members of the Post. Returning to
Town Hall, dinner, prepared by the members
23O the line was formed ana escorted the
ladies to the Congregational church where
memorial service was held by the Post, after
which an address by Rev. ii. s. Burrage
was read by Rev. J. B. Wilson, Rev. Mr..
Burrage being detained at home by Illness.
The address was devoted to an exhibition
of some of the characteristics of our soldiers
during the civil war. Mention was first
made of their loyalty which was based on an
abiding conviction Of the nnspeakable value
North was a surprise not only to the Con-
federates but to the civilized world.
Adaptability to their surroundings was
another characteristic of our soldiers. This
characteristic was noticeable in whatever
belongs to military life. In the various
branches of the service our soldiers learned
their new duties intelligently and with sur
prising rapidity. Another marked charac-
teristic was the good nature of our soldiers.
This was illustrated with army incidents
from the camp, the march, and in prison.
The next CHARACTERISTIC referred to was the
bravery of the men. Here were introduced
valuable statistical facts from government
sources with reference to our soldiers in the
great battles of the rebellion. Closely con-
nected with this was another characteristic,
the tenacity of our men. They held on at
whatever cost of life or limb, until the final
victory was won. As final characteristic
the speaker mentioned regard for sacred
things. 1t was to Christian men that the
issues Of the war strongly appealed, and
these men were more largely represented in
the army than has generally been supposed.
At the close Of the address, the example of
our heroic dead was made the basis of plea
to the living, THAT their dead shall not have
lived In vain." as Lincoln said in his memoir
