GEN. GORDON'S LECTURE.
A Brilliant Address from Southern
Statesman.

BffUfant AddreSS from SOUTHERN
Statesman.
The lecture by Gen. Gordon in the
Y. M. c. A. course last Friday even
ing was one of the finest ever given
in this town and was thoroughly
enjoyed by large audience. He was
very pleasantly introduced by Rev.
Mr.. Tyrie. The latter began by
naming some Of the great men that
had appeared in our course, and then
spoke of Gen. Gordon's war record;
the fact that he has been twice elect
ed governor ofGeorgia, and was now
representing that state in the United
States senate. He also gave SEN
tence from Senator Gordon's speech
in the senate at the time OF the
Chicago riots. Gen. Gordon was
given hearty applause when he
arose to speak and he began by
thanking the audience for their greet
ing.
The lecture was not history or
analysis of the closing period Of the
war, but was mostly "reminiscences
of the war, together with bursts Of
patriotism that were received by the
audience with prolonged applause.
Gen. Gordon spoke for nearly two
hours and he held the attention of
the audience to the close. He has a
magnificent voice, and in his heights
OF eloquence his voice would easily
have filled the largest auditorium in
this country.
In opening he said that Vicksburg
and Gettysburg was the turning point
in the great conflict, and that it was
down hill all the way from that time
until Appomattox. The movements
of Gen. Lees army across the Poto-
mac at Antietam and Gettysburg
were referred to as social reciprocity
He said that every soldier who fell
during the war, on either side, was
still living and eloquent witness OF
that highest of all haracter-martyr-
dom for the truth as he understood
it.
Gen. Gordon then related incidents
both thrilling and amusing of the
campaigns at Gettysburg, Antietam
at the Rapidan, Spottsylvania Court
House, around Petersburg and at the
last battle Of the war at Appomat
tox. In these various incidents tht
speaker took, occasion to pay elo
quent tributes to both Northern anc
Southern generals, including Lee
Stonewall Jackson, Grant, Meade
Custer, Sheridan and Hooker. The
closing part OF the lecture was the
most interesting when Gen. Gordon
so graphically described Gen. Lee.
last council of war in the woods al
Appomattox, the surrender which
followed the next day and the meet
ing between the commanders of tn,
two armies, Grant and Lee. On al
OF these occasions Gen. Gordon wa.
present and his tribute to Grant.
magnanimitv on the occasion Of tn,
surrender was as sincere as it wa.
eloquent. In closing he thanked Coo
that whenever the victory perched or
either side it was a monument tC
American valor, northern chivalry
and southern courage.
After the lecture brief but cordia
reception was rendered him in Musi
Hall and many had the privilege o
grasping the senator's hand ant
: thanking him for his brilliant address
