SEVERAL OTHER SPEECHES.
Rev. DR.. J. p. Smith followed in a very
happy vein, and Judge Christian spoke
eloquently Of the righteousness OF the
Confederate cause, and quoted extracts
and figures to show that almost half the
people OF the North were OF the same
opinion, as evidenced by the election re-
turns Of the Lincoln and Mcclellan
presidential election. He then called upon
the president of the Richmond School
Board to make few remarks.
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson spoke interest
ingly on school topics, and eulogized
President Davis. I'VE are too apt to for
get the trials and services OF the civil
officers during war-times," he said. He
hoped the rising generation would never
forget what the Commonwealth owes to
the ragged and barefooted men who
wore the gray. Our present position. he
maintained, was due to the works OF just
such men, who, to-day, are among the
most prominent busiRess-men CT the
State.
Major Brander made a brief and happy
speech, and Colonel Murphy who fol-
lowed. said the campaign OF 1s6l-'64 was
not to be compared to the battle of 1895
10 1870 and 1876 and he dwelt at some
length upon the desperate struggles for
a livelihood cf the defeated soldiers.
which began after the war was ended
Judge Christian made a reference to
the grand work being carried on at the
Soldiers Home, and Captain Hutcheson,
Of the Richmond Howitzers, spoke of his
command. Abiding TO the history ques-
ton, he said: IF the old members fail
TO drive, out the Yankee histories, just
FALL on us, and we'll help you" which re-
mark was enthusiastically applauded.
Mr. William Allen sang "Going Back
10 Dixie" and "Old Lang Syne," sung
by all standing, closed the very interest
ng and happy reunion.
