loyalty, and disintcrcstcd devotion are
immortal.
1t is altogether fitting that The
daughters Of the COnfederacy should
place this tablet in commemoration
of the cause they love, of tie heroes
who gladly gave here their lives. and
Of the virtues that their loyal self
sacrifice manifests.
Lieut. Mcqueen, who offered here
his life in love, was son of the
Rev. DR.. Mcqueen and a brother Of
iicer of Lieut.. Pringles in Gardens
Battery Battery composed of some
Of Sumters' choicest young men. Lieut.
Pringle was killed at Sharpsburg in
1862. tribute to him was written
by Lieut.. Mcqueen and was publish
ed in the Tri-Weekly Watchman,
January 5th, 1868. This tribute was
courteously given me by Judge Thos.
f. Richardson and, in compliance
with the request Of some veterans, I
shall read ii as the best epitaph of
these young heroes and as mourn
ful prophecy of the death that was SO
soon to overtake the gallant author:
Upon Virginias hallowed sod,
All, deeply dyed by patriot blood,
Behold a soldiers tomb.
He fell where rolled like lava stream.
The tide Of battle mid the glcam
OF cannon as they boom.
He fell full nObly at his post,
Upon his lips no prouder boast,
Than duty calls me here"
He died-alas. no mothers hand
Was there to soothe his ebbing sand,
But Friendship dropped a tear
An Angel form with softest trc.d,
Gently bending DER his bed
Gazed sweety in his eye.
This angel then with mothers breast.
Did soothe the dying boy to rest,
And heaved a whispered sigh,
Then looking up, she gazed on high,
Upon the star bespangled sky.
And brcathed fervent prayer;
90! God" she cried, Shall one so
brave,
he given to the cherries grave
When thou canst plying spare?
Let Autumn's withered leaflets fall,
The old may claim the shrouded pail,
And joyous greet the tomb;
But spare, oh! spare the tender flower,
That springs up with the summer
shower,
And spreads its fragrant bloom.
Mysterious are the ways most High,
The old, the young, the good must die
And mingle with the tclay,
But we can only drop q tear
OF sorrow on the mournful bier,
And tread our lonely way.
There is no place in memorys cell
Where friendship more delights to
dwell,
Than on departed years;
When we in innocence were wont
To drink of life's pure crystal font
Cndimmed by scalding tears.
Bright hopes alas! have swiftly fled,
AS one by one the charnelled dead,
Rise upward to our view,
Like tones of sweetest music gone,
AS clouds before the moan day sun.
Or mornings pearly dew.
To you, veterans, assembled here.
who carry in your minds and hearts
tenderest memories of your COM
rades, L would say in Milton's words
Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war" 1 rejoice with you
that God in his infinite mercy hath
showered upon you the blessings Of
peace, as He shielded you from the
dangers Of war. BY your patriotic
devotion to home and country, YOU
Won distinction in war and by a living
loyalty to life's duties you have mer-

mand. The force Of the enemy con-
sisted Of two regiments Of white and
three of negro troops, with two pieces

AT three o'clock p NJ. the enemy's

O'Clock p. IN. a thanking party of
some four or five hundred men made
their way across the swamp, about
three hundred yards on the right of
the mill and were met by about fifty
or 60 men under my command COM
posed mostly of the militia of my
regiment. They resisted the enemy
until overpowered by superior num-
bers and then fell back to their orig
lnal position at the mill. The artillery
and infantry supports finding the DO
sition had been turned, had retired
and my small command was nearly
cut Off and captured; but the same
coolness which they had displayed in
meeting the enemy. saved them from
being made prisoners.
take pleasure in being able to say
that on the Judgment of veteran Of
hcers the conduct of all the troops
at the mill was as good as could be
expected OF any troops, and the militia
especially fought with the determina-
ton of men who fight for their homes
and families. The loss of our DO
sition at Dingle's Mill compelled us to
eNacuate the town of Sumter, and
the enemy took possession Immediate

The loss of the enemy. according
TO our best information, was 13 kill
ed and 26 wounded. The railroad de-
pots ut Sumter, the jail and a few
out-buildingS were burned by the
enemy. The damage to private prop
erty, except in few cases, was less
than was expected"
Thus reads an extract from Col
Lees official report and this, with Of
fetal order No. =, explains our pres
ence here today and shows why these
