Gen. Rosser's Lecture.

~
That was a rare treat which the people
night when they heard GEO. T. L. Rosser
in his famous lecture, "From Manassas
to Appomattox." Nor was the interest
confined alone to the old veterans pres
ent, to whom the scenes and incidents
narrated and described by the lecturer
were familiar through personal expert
ence. So thrilling was the portrayal Of
the moving drama of each battle, 30 vivid
were the pictures, given by aid OF the
Stenopticon, of the famous men OF those
days and of the stirring scenes thereof,
that the most lukewarm person must
have become keenly alive to the burning
eloquence and the glory of the story be-
ing told. Necessarily. the time given to
each epoch and each battle of the war was
short, but Gen. Rosser gives a connected,
coherent, lucid and brilliant narrative Of
the war. He was himself a distinguish
ed participant in many of IT, most DASH
ing and magnificent feats which be de-
scribes; but with the true modesty of q
brave soldier he does not laud himself at
all. All Southern children should hear
this lecture, and particularly should they
hear his plea for fair treatment OF the
Confederate colder in the forming of
opinions az to motives and causes of the
war. It is as eloquent and pathetic as his
position is strong and truthful. Gen.
Rosser oftentimes took his audience
"of their feet" by his splendid bursts of
%eloquence, and then the applause was
loud and long. At the end of the lecture
Gen. Bonham, by request, introduced
the following resolutions, which were
adopted by the audience:
Whereas, we, the members Of Camp
Stephen D. Lee, United Confederate Vet
Grams, and of Camp W. w. Humphreys,
Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the
citizens Of Anderson here assembled,
have heard with profound pleasure and
pride of the muniicent offer Of Mr..
Chas. B. Rouss to give $1,000 600 toward
the building of q Confederate Battle
Abbey and, whereas, Gen. Thomas L.
Rosser. with unselfish devotion to the
Confederate cause. is giving his time and
talents to the purpose of raising the re-
mainder of the SUM of money necessary
to the consummation Of the patriotic con-
ception of Mr.. Rouss. Now, therefore,
be it
RcsoIued, That we are filled with IN
bounded admiration Of the royal gene
rosity of Mr.. Rouss, and the devoted
self sacrificing labors of Gen. Rosser.
Resolved further, That we depute Gen.
Rosser to convey to Nj. Rouss the e1-
preston of our sentiments Of respect and
admiration for him and his noble-hearted
action and that we do hereby extend to
Gen. Rosser our hearty thanks for the
pleasure he has given US in hearing his
brilliant and eloquent lecture, and that
we indulge the hope that it may be given
to US many more times ere he Is called
to join his comrades who have crossed
over the river and rest under the shade
of the trees, to hear and see him, and
that we bid him God-speed in the noble
and unselfsh work he is doing.
Gen. Rosser will lecture tonight at
Pelzer, and several of our citizens are
going over to hear him.
