They Honor the Memory OF Depart
ell Chieftnins.
The New Orleans Plcayune says that
at the last regular monthly meeting
OF the Louisiana Division. Association Of
the Army OF Northern Virginia. an ami
mated discussion was Rrecipitated by
a resolution that was offered by Comrade
Dimitry in memory OF Lieutenant-Colonel
T. b. Terry. Mr.. Dimitry explained that
Colonel Terry. while not member or the
association. was one Of the very bravest
officers In the Army Of Northern Virginia.
He referred In glowing terms TO the gal
lantry and fearlessness OF the deceased
officer. and after a most eloquent eulogy.
explained that he had been requested to
present memorial resolutions. which he
would ask to be Inscribed on the minutes.
Comrade Edwin Marks said that he was
In nowise DESTROYS of detractIng one iota
from Colonel Terry's reputation for dis
tinguished valor, but he was opposed 10
having the resolutions plated among the
minutes. for IL would be established a
precedent that must eventually cause con-
siderable annoyance and embarrassment.
IL would be throwing open the doors in
such a way that 1t would be difficult to
determine where the line of demarkation
should be traced. He said that he enter
tains the highest regard for Comrade
| Dimitry's judgment in most things, but he
| feared that he was making a mistake
| In this instance. and. therefore could not
| vote for the resolution. The association
would not be guilty of any mark CT dis
respect to the memory OF any man who
| wore the gray, but there must be some
| distinguished marks 10 those who have
| taken enough interest In this association
| as to have Joined IL and remained mem
bers of IT,
Several other members smoke 10 the
resolution some favoring and others OPP
posing II.
| Mr.. Dimitry said that he was surprised
| that any such objection should be raised
to an endeavor to honor the memory OF
a man who was known to all Of them to
have been one OF the bravest OF the
brave. Davis, Beauregard. and other
men had not been members of the as
sociation. and such resolutions had been
| offered and adopted to their memory. He
would think that II the Mayor Of this
city were 10 die memorial resolutions
would be passed by the association in his
honor. and he is not member of the
ASSOCIATION. II could not be that the
association would refuse to adopt the
resolutions. and he therefore. moved
that they be adopted and inscribed on a
separate page IN the minute-book The
| motion was put and carried by 4 vote OF
| IL ayes 10 u nays.
Comrade Adam arose and called atten-
/ ton TO the fact that yesterday was the
! anniversary OF the death OF General Lee
lie said that he thought that some action
! should be taken out Of respect TO his
memory. and he would therefore call on
COmrade Marks for few words eulogs-
| tic OF the great man whom the whole
South loved.
Mr. Marks said that to do justice TO the
memory Of Lee It would require the best
efforts OF n more gifted man than he
without having had time TO prepare
! Such a duty could be undertaken in the
! confines OF the city Of New Orleans by
such man as Rev. DR.. Palmer only. He
would. therefore. have 10 beg to be ex-
cused. But he could see no need OF eulo-
gzing the great general What more was
there that could be said OF him that would
cause him 10 become dearer 10 their
hearts. for every Confederate soldier has
/ Lee engTaven upon his heart that nothing
! in time can effIce.
/ Or. Joseph Jones sent the camp his
official roster OF the medical officers Of
the Army Of Tennessee for the use Of it's
members and deposit I'm the archives Of
! the Louisiana Historical Association In
| Memorial Hall. The roster contains 1850
| names II was received. and the thanks
| OF the association were voted 10 DR..
