FIRST ANNUAL MEETING
SURVIVORS’? ASSOCIATION
OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Soutn Caronina Hatt,
CHARLESTON, November 18th, isco, f
In response to an invitation from the Survivors’ Association:
of Charleston District, delegates from similar organizations
throughout the State met in convention at noon this day, at
the Hall of the South Carolina Society.
The Convention was called to order by Colonel Edward
_ McCrady, Jr., on whose motion General Joseph B. Kershaw
took the chair, and Captain Pierre Bacot and Mr. T. Pinckney
Lowndes were requested to act as Secretaries.
In explanation of the purposes for which the Convention waa
called, the Chairman read the following Circular from the
Committee of the Survivors’ Association of Charleston District,
and preamble and resolutions under which that Committee
were appointed.
Survivors’ ASSocIATION. CHARLESTON DIstRICT,
CHARLESTON, 8. C., August 12, 1869.
Dear Siz :—The Resolutions enclosed will explain to you the
objects of this communication. :
The period comprised between March, 1861, and May, 1865,
is remarkable for events the most stupendous of this century.
In these great transactions, the late Confederate army played
a part which history can scarcely chronicle without seeming to
borrow of romance. And yet truth should be told, and such
means appealed to as will obviate the possibility of aspersion,
The mode of reaching this end is suggested by the Resolutions.
Local Associations can accomplish much in preserving records
and reports, but their influence and effect must necessarily be
confined to the locality. What is desired, is a generalization of
this idea. A State Association of Survivors, composed of dele-
gates from the local bodies, to be perpetual, and organized to
work out the objects set forth in the third Resolution, seems

most likely to accomplish the object. The Confederacy was
crushed in the struggle, and not the least among the evils which
her people have suffered, is the perversion of all which they
thought and did. The Pulpit, the Rostrum, the Press have all
been laid under contribution for this purpose. The minds of
the young even are sought to be poisoned at the fountain, by
false and pernicious statements. The very school books are
used as vehicles to blacken the memory of the Confederate
cause, and establish a prejudice where an appeal to reason would
fail. A reliable and trustworthy depositary of Narratives,
Reports, and all other available documents, illustrative of the
career of the late war, and the Confederacy which it sought to
save, is the surest mode of securing for the future historian the
materials out of which the authentic story of the Lost Cause is
to be woven.
We owe it to ourselves, to the gallant Dead, to the truth of
History, to Posterity, to the Women of the land, and, above all,
to that Humanity of which we are a part, and which is always
ennobled by the contemplation of Freedom‘and of earnest and
heroic effort, that the truthful incidents of that mighty struggle
for Honor and Constitutional Right shall live forever.
In the name of all these, we ask you to exert your influence
in your District, to carry out the design of the Resolutions.
Your notice, at as early a day as practicable, of this commun-
ication, will confer a favor upon
Yours, very respectfully, &., &e.,
EDWARD McCRADY, Jr., President.

At the Regular Meeting of the Survivors’ Association,
Charleston District, held on Tuesday, July 13th, the following
Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Wuereas, The events of the late war between the Confed-
erate and United States of America are now fresh in the minds
of its survivors, and as many records do now exist which time
and neglect will certainly destroy, and as it is highly desirable
to have these records and these recollections put in such sub-
stantial form as to resist the ravages of time.
Anp WuereEas, We have no government which will collect
and preserve the history of those transactions of which we are
proud, it is, therefore, the duty of all South Carolinians to place
the history of the late war in its true light before the world, in

order that those who fought and died for their country may
have not only the reward of their distinguished salaeodert but
the justice which their achievements deserve.
Anp Wuereas, While the Survivors’ Association of any single
District may do much in collecting and preserving these records,
yet because of the intimate association existing “during the war
between all the troops of the State, the work will become pro-
portionally less onerous and much more effective if the Sur-
vivors of the whole State were to unite in a common effort;
therefore, be it
Resolved, Ist. That the Survivors’ Association of Charleston
District earnestly invite the Survivors of each District in the
State, where associations of record do not now exist, to form
District Associations composed of the Survivors of the Confed-
erate Army and Navy, to collect and preserve the records of the
late war.
2nd. That the various District Associations be invited to send
five delegates to a Convention to meet at our Hall in Charleston
on Thursday, November 18th, 1869, to form a State Survivors’
Association, for the purposes set forth in the next resolution.
3rd. That the primary object of the proposed State Survi-
vors’ Association is the preservation of all matters of history
connected with the late war.
That the proposed means of accomplishing this object is the
establishment of a State Bureau, under the control of the State
Association, where all original matter shall be regularly and
conveniently filed away for the reference of such persons as the
Association may see fit.
That a competent person shall be employed to take charge of
this Bureau.
That the expenses shall be defrayed by an assessment of the
District Associations.
That the secondary object of the proposed State Association,
the future development of which is left to the action of the
State Association, is the preparation of a Standard Southern
History and smaller School Histories, in which the part the
Confederacy bore in the late war may be properly related to the
world, and that the rising generation may be taught that their
parents were not the vile traitors that the Common School His-
tories now prepared by our enemies assert.
4th. That a Committee composed of the President, Secretary,
and Five Members of the Association be appointed to corres-
pond on the subject of these Resolutions, to make all necessary
arrangements for the assembling of the Convention, and to take
such measures as they may deem essential to the full accom-
plishment of the intentions of the Preamble and Resolutions.
On motion of Major T. G. Barker, delegates were requested
to register their names, and survivors of the Army or Navy of

Dr. F. L. Frost, of Georgetown, Warren Symmes, of Oconee,
and Myer B. Moses, of Sumter, enrolled their names as delegates.
General Conner, from the committee appointed to draft a Con-
stitution, reported the following, which, on his motion, was
considered as a whole and unanimously adopted :
BASIS OF ORGANIZATION.
WuHeErREAS, The events of the late war between the Confede-
rate and United States of Americaare still fresh in the memory
of its survivors, and many Confederate records now exist which
will perish unless those most deeply interested in the vindica-
tion of the cause and the memory of their comrades assume the
duty of preserving them ; 7 ‘
AND WHEREAS, many of the survivors of the. Confederate
Army are disabled by wounds received or disease contracted in
the service from earning a livelihood for themselves and their
families, and many widows and orphans are left destitute by
the death of their husbands and fathers during the late war,
and as it is a sacred duty incumbent upon those of us to whom
the God of Battles has spared sufficient health and strength to
labor, to share their means, however small, with such of their
more unfortunate comrades who still suffer and languish, and

to assist, as far as possible, the widows and orphans of their de-
_ ceased fellow-soldiers; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the delegates from the District Survivors’
Association, of the State of South Carolina, do hereby organize
a State Association, for the purpose of collecting and preserving
the records relating to the late war, and the materials for its
history, and also for the purpose of assisting our comrades who
are unable to labor by reason of wounds received or disease
contracted in the service, and the widows and orphans of those
who fell in the discharge of their duty.

APPEHN DIX.
LETTER OF GENERAL JOHN 8. PRESTON.
CotumBia, November 18, 1869.
My Dear Sir: It is a painful regret to me that I cannot be
present at the preliminary meeting of the State Survivors’ Asso-
ciation. Up to this hour I had set my heart on being there to
join in its organization, and aid in giving the first impetus to
its honorahle and holy work, and to meet again many who I
had known, honored and loved in the field. I am very, very
sorry that it is so that I cannot be there. Will not you have
the kindness to make known to our comrades my profound and
entire sympathy? We are all survivors of our brothers and
sons who died gloriously for their country and for liberty, and
we have survived that liberty and that country for which they
died.
We now associate ourselves to keep alive in our hearts, by
solemn rites and good deeds, the memory of the virtues and the
great deeds of those who perished, that thereby our spirit may
be so inflamed as never to forget the cause for which they died,
although that cause did seem to die with them. It does seem
to me that this is a duty near to and very close upon our duties
to that God in whose presence the justified spirits of our com-
rades are living forever—past all survivorship. It is quite
equal to our duties to their and our posterity, and to our own
present.
Let the initiatory Sooteatancs of this sacred duty be made
with the profoundest impression of all its solemn relations. In
dictating the terms of our association strive to do justice to all
the heroic dead and to all the living whom God has blessed
(although condemned to survive their liberty) by having made
them soldiers of the army of the Southern Confederacy. Many
of our fathers have been soldiers of liberty for centuries; but
we may say with proud humility that we have given a new
blazon to their shields, by adding to them the quarterings of
soldiers of the Southern Confederacy. It is as noble a title of
honor as was ever won by man. Let us, then, build for it not
only monuments of marble and brass, but those ever-living me-
morials which will dwell in the human heart as long as their
lives one drop of Confederate blood.
This association, then, is meant to perpetuate our own honor
and that of our brothers who won it at the price of death.
We assume thus the gravest obligations, and I do trust that
the organization will be as pure and free from living passion as

if our hands were joined over the graves of our comrades, and
that with earnest and patient deliberation it will be so con-
structed as to bind us in a holy brotherhood, and as our Charles-
ton comrades have already expressed it, bring comfort and
blessings to may of the “ survivors of the Confederate army and
navy who are disabled by wounds received and disease con-
tracted in the service from earning a livelihood for themselves
and their families, and many widows and orphans left destitute
by the death of their husbands and fathers in the cause of their
country.” |
Pray communicate to the meeting, in such wise as you may
choose, this expression of my earnest and active sympathy,
Faithfully yours,
JOHN 8. PRESTON.

Colonel Edward McCrady, Jr., of Charleston, submitted the
Report of the Hxecutive Board* recommending the adoption
of the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :
1. Resolved, That the estimates of expenses submitted by the
executive board be referred to a special committee of three, to
‘ devise a plan for raising the amount so reported as necessary
to meet the expenses already incurred, and for the expense
of the next year, and report the same to this meeting.
2. Resolved, That the Treasurer be authorized to pay to the
executive board the sum of $125 for the ladies who have rear-
ranged and engrossed the Roll of the Dead, and also to pay
the bill of Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, reported due by
the board, amounting to $83 79.
3. Resolved, That the executive board be authorized to pub-
lish by subscription, upon the plan reported by them, the Roll
of the Dead, prepared by Professor Rivers, as now rearranged,
in two editions, the first edition for corrections and additions ;
and the second, so corrected and added to, in permanent torm.
4, fesolved, That the executive board be authorized to pur-
chase, as soon as the treasurer shall be in sufficient funds, after
having paid the amounts already ordered, a complete file of the
official reports issued by the War Department of the Confeder-
ate States, and such other histories as they may deem it impor-
tant at once to obtain, and to draw on the Treasurer, when so
in funds, therefor, to an amount not exceeding $125.
i. Resolved, That the executive board be authorized to obtain
a place of deposit for the records and books of the association,
which shall be accessible to all, and to expend upon the same
a sum not more than $25, for shelves, etc.
6. Resolved, That this Association requests all persons having
original reports of, or letters describing battles, marches, recon-
noisances, sieges, or other papers relating to the operations of
the war, to permit the executive board to have copies of the
same taken for preservation.
7. Resolved, That this Association appeals to the surviving
officers and members of every company that went into the Con-
federate service from the State, and to the officers of the gen-
eral staff, to prepare rolls of their comrades from memory, if
there exists no records from which to make them out, and for-
ward the same to the chairman of the executive board.
8. Resolved, That the thanks of every Confederate soldier of
the State of South Carolina, and of the people generally, are
due to Professor Rivers for the valuable material he has col-
lected for the history of our State troops, and especially for
the Roll of the Dead, preserved through his generous and patri-

otic labors, and this association of the survivors of the war
render to him their grateful acknowledgments.
Captain Wm. K. Bachman, Treasurer, submitted a report of
the finances, and called the attention of the Association to the
assessment upon each District. Association PAAG « at its first
meeting.
ee M. L. Bonham, of Edgefield, took the Chair, at the
request of General Kershaw, who sattted the following
which was unanimously adopted, by the members of the Asso-
ciation rising in silence :
In MEmoRIAM.
It is meet that we recall on this occasion the memory of our
revered chieftain, General Robert . Lee, and to lay upon his
tomb our poor tribute to his greatness and his worth, amid the
votive offerings of our countrymen at the shrine of the patriot
and hero. When we approach the truly grand and breathe the
atmosphere of that which is sublime, either in the moral or
physical world, the heart of man is stilled—the spirit is awed
and humbled by the presence of the Infinite, manifested in the
works of His hands, or in the diviner emanations of His own
supernal nature and image, sometimes vouchsafed to the deni-
zens of earth. Thus it is when we stand by the newly-made
grave and contemplate the person, the character and the career
of Robert E. Lee, we feel the inadequacy of our limited
powers either rightly to conceive the virtues of the dead, or to
embody in language such conceptions as our capacities enable
us to enjoy. We would withdraw into the deeper recesses of
our own nature, the silent regions of unutterable emotions,
those borders of the spirit land where we catch the echoes of
the infinite world beyond, there to commune in the stillness of
our own hearts. Yet it is fitting that we, his friends and com-
rades in the past, who shared his triumphs and his reverses, his
joys and his sorrows, his hopes and his despair, should wreathe
around his honored name and memory our garlands of love and
praise, fresh and unfading flowers from the garden of grateful
hearts, embalming for the generations to come the virtues and
the greatness of the illustrious citizen, hero and patriot.
His was a nature so perfect, that, like the circle, it defies
analysis or comparison. It presented a fullness, a completeness,
a grandeur of development that offered nothing to censure, and
left nothing to desire. Neither the experience of the living,
nor the portraitures of history offered its prototype or parallel.
Our great countryman, Washington, furnishes in some of his
characteristics, as also in the analogies of his career, a regsem-

blance as that between star and star, but they differed as “one
star differeth from another star in glory.” His form, his face,
his voice, his bearing, God-like in beauty, power and grace, dis-
tinguished him from all other men. He certainly was made
but “a little lower than the angels,” and now he has crossed
the river to be with them, whither the flower of his noble army
had gone before, whither we, too, shall follow, if faithful sen-
tinels, as one by one we are relieved from duty here and ordered
to the front to join that victor band. There are men, cast in so
high a mould, so peculiarly and eminently favored by God, as
to be rather fitted for that better life than this. They are the
great exemplars; the beacon lights, that guide the race onward
and upward. Think of that illustrous throng—the Confederate
dead—in the world of light and liberty! How many such men
—‘ heroes in history ”—find their place most fitting among the
highest and the brighest? Yet even among these, how towers
the lofty spirit of Robert E. Lee! When we consider the moral
grandeur of the man, even his magnificent achievements in the
field of arms cease to astonish us, and we lose ourselves in the
contemplation: of his nobility of soul. What was his life for
the last five years but a constant martyrdom of the spirit—a
daily dying for us? To teach us to labor, to suffer, to endure,
to wait patiently for our redemption, to abide faithfully by the
inevitable, to bow to the will of God. Who can estimate what
he felt, what he endured, in those five years of agony, for his
tortured countrymen? What wonder his great heart broke at
last? His duty done, thank God, henceforth he wears the
victor’s crown—illustrious inhabitant of one of the “many
mansions” of his “ Father’s House.” Thither, in our humble
measure, may we strive to follow, that “where he is, we may
be also.”
Resolved, That the above be inscribed upon the Minutes of -
the Association, and a copy be forwarded to his bereaved
family, as an assurance of our profound and respectful sympathy
with their affliction.
On motion, the Association adjourned as a mark of reverence
to the memory of General Lee.
The Association attended in the Baptist Church, at 7.30
P. M., to hear the annual oration, which was Gol cered by
General John 8. Preston.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE SUR-
VIVORS’ ASSOCIATION OF THE STATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.
The Executive Board respectfully report: The duty of pre-
serving the history of the events of the late war between the
Confederate and United States, which still are fresh in the
memory of its survivors, and of collecting the many Confede-
rate records which yet exist, but which will be forgotten and
destroyed unless at once collected, and put in permanent form,
is recognized, and assumed in the Basis of Organization of this
Association. |
To perform this duty, it is provided in the Constitution that
there shall be an Executive Board, consisting of seven members,
appointed by the President, which shall be charged with the
collection, arrangement and preservation of the records of the
Asssociation, and shall have the general superintendence and
control of the Bureau of Records. It is also provided that the
Executive Board shall annually elect a Librarian, who shall be
charged with the immediate custody of all books, papers and
records, committed to his care by them, and of their arrange-
ment and record under the superintendence of the Board, and
who shall receive such compensation as the Board shall deter-
mine. 7
Under these provisions of the Constitution the undersigned
were appointed upon the Executive Board and entered upon
their duties. There appear to the Board to be two classes of
records which it is desirable to preserve. Tho first relates to
the general history of the war. The second to the number,
organization and personal history of the troops furnished by
the State to the Confederate army.
The Board believes that a large amount of loose but most
valuable material for the first exists, such as reports, orders,
letters, &c., scattered about in private portfolios, which will be
lost not only to the State but to the individual possessors,
unless systematically preserved, and they are anxious to obtain
these papers, at least for the purpose of making copies.
They would recommend that the Board be authorized to
purchase, if they cannot otherwise procure, a complete file of
the official reports issued from the war office of the Contederate
States, and such other histories of the war as they may con-
sider worthy of preservation for the use of the Association, and
as its means may permit.
They regard, however, the second class of records as by far
the most pertinent to the designs of this Association, and they

believe it to be that which first demands our efforts to preserve.
The large number of able and prominent officers interested in
the history of the general operations of our armies, is some
guarantee that an effort will be made to obtain a fair statement
of what was done by the Confederate troops in the field. But
there is another part of the history of the times which it be-
hooves us carefully to preserve, and in which as none are so im-
mediately and personally interested is in more danger of being
lost. .
The war having ended disastrously to our cause, the whole
Southern people turn upon us the most scrutinizing enquiry as
tothe part our State took in the warshe inaugurated. And this
is but just. As we gloried in having rushed foremost into the
fray, and as our action compelled the people of our sister South-
ern States either to stand by and see us, and with us their own
cause subjugated, or to join in the struggle, so now, in their and
our defeat, it becomes us to show that we were not laggards
in the strife to which we called them.
And this we can do. We believe that we can show that out
of a voting population of less than 68,000, we gave 44,000
volunteers during the first eighteen months of the war, and
during the whole war, at least one soldier for every vote cast
for secession. We believe that we can show that our State
gave more than 12,000 lives for the Southern cause. And we
believe that we can show that of the remnant of the glorious
Army of Northern Virginia which stood by its Chieftain to the
last, one-fifth of the whole were South Carolinians, and that
thotgh she was one of the smallest of the nine States whose
troops composed his army.
But all this must be shown, not merely asserted. And how
can we show it? The records of both State and Confederate
States have been destroyed, and facts and names are fast pass-
ing from our memory. Unless we can gather at once all the
remaining rolls and supply the missing from such memoranda
as may yet exist, we shall soon be left to bare assertion.
There is another and as grave a reason why our first efforts
should be directed to the personal history of our troops.
In an article in a recent English review, on the Government
scheme of army reform submitted to Parliament, it is said “the
enfants perdu of the world are your best soldiers, the men who
have lost all taste for civil life, who are no loss to civil society,
who have weighed life in the balance and found it wanting,
men of wrecked prospects and ruined hopes—men who seek in
the wild excitement of strife an escape from the memory
of bright days gone by—from the thoughts of fortunes once
fair, now blasted—from the broken dream of faith in woman’s
love. Such men filled the ranks of the Zouave battalions of
France during the Crimean war; such men were to be found

in numbers in the Huropean regiments of the old Company’s
service in India—men very hard to hold in peace, but harder
still to fight in war.’
And such, doubtless, were the men who have composed most
armies of the world. But such were not the men who marched
with Jackson, who fought at Chickamauga, who stormed the
heights of Gettysburg, who charged with Hampton, or who
stood amidst Sumter’s crumbling walls.
To describe the character of those who composed the armies
of the Confederate States is but to describe the character of our
people. The rich and poor, the educated and ignorant, the
farmer and merchant, the student and laborer, stood side by
side in our ranks.
The general historian will tell of the operations in the field,
and will give, as far as the imperfect records will enable him, an
estimate of the numbers engaged. But who will tell of the
host of privates, our friends, our brothers, who, with bare and
bleeding feet, struggled over rocky and frozen roads to fall un-
known in the battle ?
To those of us who survive, though it has fallen to our lot to
bear the humiliation of defeat, from which they have been
spared, there yet remains the opportunity of struggling for our
native land, and the hope some day of realizing the objects
for which we fought, though not in the form we desired. But
for those who fell no such hope remains. They gave their lives
for our cause, it becomes us to preserve their memories.
The Executive Board were authorized to appoint a Librarian
to take charge of the books, papers and records of the Associa-
tion. It was known to the Board that Professor W. J. Rivers
had been engaged during and since the war in collecting the
names of the dead and gathering information in regard to the
organization and number of our troops. They sought, there-
fore, to obtain his valuable assistance in this capacity. But
though generously putting all the material he had collected at
the disposal of the Association, circumstances prevented his
assuming the charge of our records. He consented, however,
for the present, to aid the Board in their work.
In a preface to the papers tendered to the Association, Pro-
fessor Rivers says: “ The plan devised for the arrangement of
the material collected consists of two parts—First, an intro-
duction containing (1) a chronological account of the raising of
troops for State and Confederate service ; (2) a brief account of
the career of each organization during the war, with an appended
grouping together of the dead of each regiment or battalion ;
(3) statistical tables showing the number killed in battle, the
number of those who died of wounds, of disease, or from acci-
dent; the number who died between the ages of 15 and 20, 20
and 25, and so on; the number from each district, and a list of

the engagements in which our State troops participated. The
second consists of the roll, or an alphabetical list of all who
perished, with the district from which each soldier came, his
rank, company, regiment, arm of service, date of death, cause
and place of death, and age.”
He now offers to the Association the work thus far completed
by him, viz: The introduction to his collection, containing, as
he proposed, a chronological account of the raising of troops for
State and Confederate service, in itself a most valuable work,
and one of great historical importance; and also sketches pre-
pared by him (from information furnished by the officers) of
the careers of the following regiments, to wit: Ist South Caro-
lina Volunteers, (Hagood’s,) 2d South Carolina Volunteers,
7th South Carolina Volunteers, 10th South Carolina Volunteers,
13th South Carolina Volunteers, 18th South Carolina Volunteers,
20th South Carolina Volunteers, 22d South Carolina Volunteers,
24th South Carolina Volunteers, Holcombe’s Legion, 2d South
Carolina Rifles, 5th and 7th South Carolina Cavalry, and 7th
South Carolina Battalion, together with a list of the battles in
which the troops from this State were engaged, arranged in
chronological order, amounting in all to the number of one
hundred and eight, not including the general operations of the
siege of Peter sburg, lasting ten months, and that of Charleston
lasting three years.
It appears from the Adjutant-General’s Report in Appendix
to Journal of 4th Session of the Convention, which is quoted
by Professor Rivers, that upon the 30th August, 1862, the State
of South Carolina had in the field 41,873 volunteers and 1,100
conscripts, and that it was estimated that the number of men
contributed by the State up to that time to the Confederate
service exceeded 45,000, besides which she then had in service
8,000 reserves, and that during the last year of the war we had
in the field 32 regiments and 3 battalions of infantry, 8 regi-
ments of cavalry, and 2 regiments 2 battalions, and 22 batteries
of artillery, with 4 regiments of reserves, besides the corps of
State Cadets.
This enumeration does not include the officers and men of the
general staff, to wit: the Engineer, Ordinance, Adjutant, Quar-
termaster, Commissary, Signal and Medical Corps, of which we
have not as yet been able to obtain any estimate.
But the most valuable material offered to the Association by
Prof. Rivers, in the opinion of the Board, are the names of the
dead collected by him. This roll he had made up from all
sources within his reach, newspaper reports, reports of friends,
and some official reports. Thus collected they had been put
down only in alphabetical order, that is, the names were only
collected together by the initial letters, and so in looking for
any given name, in many cases hundreds had to be read. Gath-

ered, moreover, from various sources and put down from time to
time, it was impossible but that it should happen that some names
would be twice or even thrice entered, and this was more likely
to happen in the hurry of the official reports, the difficulty of
deciphering illegible writing, and through the mistakes of the
press, combined with the arbitrary method of spelling names.
The same name reported from different sources was often so
varied as to make a doubt as to its identity.
The Board, therefore, undertook to have this collection of
names re-arranged lexicographically and fairly written out, and
engaged a lady, the widow of a Confederate officer, to perform
the task. This work has been done and supervised, with the
assistance of Professor Rivers, and we herewith present to the
Association a Roll of ten thousand South Carolinians who gave
their lives to the Southern cause, with an appendix of two
thousand more collected from sources not as authentic. The lady
who undertook this work agreed to do it for the sum of one
hundred dollars, and that amount has been advanced to her by
members of this Board. But it is not considered a sufficient
remuneration for the labor it has cost. She has been obliged to
procure assistance, and the task has occupied the whole sum-
mer. The Board think that an inspection of the work will
show that the Association is still indebted to the ladies who
have performed it, and recommend that the Treasurer be au-
thorized and instructed to pay to them the further sum of
twenty-five dollars as soon as in funds.
The Board are well aware that some names are still wanting;
they themselves could supply a few omissions, but they have
determined to recommend that it be published as it is, in two
editions, the first with a preface, inviting corrections and addi-
tions, to be submitted to the Board, by the friends of those who
fell; the second with the additions and corrections thus made
in a better and more permanent form. |
The Board have obtained estimates of the cost of publishing
this Roll, together with Professor Rivers’ history of the raising
of troops in this State, in the two editions, and report that Messrs.
Walker, Evans & Cogswell, of Charleston, offer to publish 1,000
copies of each edition, for $2 50 a copy, to be paid on delivery.
If, then, we can obtain 1,000 subscribers at $5 for the two edi-
tions, this great memorial of our dead and valuable historical
work for our State will be secured.
The Board herewith present printed forms for subscription
lists, and feel confident that if the plan is adopted the number
of subscribers will soon be found.
While thus securing the remembrance of those who fell, the
Board have felt that all who offered their lives were equally
entitled to have their names recorded upon the glorious roll of
those who fought for our cause.

To :this end the President of the Association, in conference
with the Board, issued a circular appealing earnestly to all
who were in the service to codperate with the Association in
their efforts to take up the work commenced by Professor
Rivers, during the war, and to go on with it, to obtain and
perfect rolls of companies, the records of regiments, and the
history of brigades. (A copy of this Circular is annexed to
this Report, marked A.)
In furtherance of this object they prepared a printed form of
Rolls, (a copy of which is also annexed and marked B.,) to be
issued to the officers last in command of companies or to other
suitable persons. ‘These circulars and blanks they proposed to
issue through the officers last in command of regiments. To
obtain the names and address of such officers, enquiries were
addressed to each officer last in command of the brigade of
troops, of this State. The names and addresses of officers last
in command of the regiments and batteries, not brigaded with
South Carolina troops, they-ascertained as best they could, and
believe they have been successful in most instances ; in some,
they still need information. a
In answer to their inquiries, they have received replies from
Generals Hagood, McGowan, Manigault, Bratton, Conner,
Capers and Gary, Major Barker furnished the information of
the brigade of cavalry last commanded by General Logan, who
has removed from the State. From the officer who commanded
the brigade of regulars the board have received no reply to
their communication. Upon the recommendation of the brigade
commanders they sent circulars (see copy appended marked
C) to the officers named in the list, hereto annexed marked D,
and with each circular a package containing printed forms for
rolls, and envelopes with printed address of the Chairman of
the Board in which to return the rolls when completed.
The Board could not obtain the addresses of the officers last
in command of the regiments, battalions and batteries named
in the annexed lists marked H, with sufficient accuracy to issue
circulars and forms of rolls, though many of their names are
well known. They have received returns, with the rolls of
their companies, from the officers named in the list marked F.
As a matter of historical interest, they append to this report
a list marked G, of the general officers of this State, and of the
regiments, battalions and batteries, as they were ultimately
organized, with the names of the commanders, as far as known,
to the Board, together with the brigade organization, as they
were at the end of the war.
They invite corrections and additions to these lists, if any
mistakes or omissions are detected in them. The Board hope,
by the next mecting, to be able to report a roll of the field and
staff officers of the State. They regret that they have no

information to report in regard to the naval forces of the
State, but hope, in another year, to have something in regard
to that branch of the service to submit.
The Board did. not feel themselves authorized to employ a
Librarian until some definite arrangement had been made in
regard to the finances of the Association. But they are anxious
to have this office filled at once. The correspondence in regard
to the rolls now being prepared is large, the custody of the
papers a matter of responsibility, and their arrangement a work
requiring more time and attention than can be given, but by a
person regularly employed to attend to it. They think that
for the small salary of $100, they could obtain the services of a
competent person to perform these duties. It is of great con-
sequence, too, that the records should be kept in a secure place
accessible to all. They think they can eifect an arrangement
by which such a place of deposit will be found, and this only
at the cost of fixing a few shelves and boxes for these books
and records.
They submit an estimate (see Appendix H,) of the expenses
already incurred by the Board and of the expenses for the next
ear.
The Board cannot close this report without calling the atten-
tion of the Association still more particularly to the patriotic
and laborious efforts of Professor Rivers to collect and preserve
the material collected by him, as well as to the generous man- |
ner in which he has placed the results of his labor at the dis-
posal of this Association.
Professor Rivers, it is true, was engaged by the Legislature
of the State in 1864 to undertake this work, but it should be
known that he never received one cent for his services during
the time he was acting under its authority. His work had
indeed but been commenced when the war ended, and his offi-
cial connection with the matter ceased. The great mass of the
material has been collected since the end of the war by his dis-
interested efforts. The people of the State generally, but par-
ticularly those of whose services he has endeavored to preserve
the record, owe to him a debt of gratitude. The friends of
those whose names, through his exertion, are found upon the
glorious roll of South Carolina’s martyred dead, should appre-
ciate and gratefully remember the services he has rendered
them,
In ‘conclusion, the Board would recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions:
Resolved, 1. That the estimate of expenses submitted by the
Executive Board be referred to a Special Committee of Three,
to devise a plan for raising the amount so reported ag necessary
to meet the expenses already incurred, and for the expenses of
the next year, and report the same to this meeting.

BuREAU OF RecorDs Survivors’ ASSOCIATION
OF THE STATE OF SoutH CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, JuLy 1, 1870.

Dear Sir: The State Survivors’ Association desires to collect,
preserve, and publish the ‘Personal History of the troops fur-
nished by South Carolina to the Confederate service. The
Association desires first to publish the names of all entitled to a
place upon that glorious roll, and next, as far as possible, the
history of each and every one so enrolled.
Taking up the work commenced by Professor Rivers during
the war, the Executive Committee propose to go on with it—to
obtain and perfect the rolls of companies, the records of regi-
ments and the history of brigades, for immediate publication.
Also to collect the rolls of the general and staff departments, to
wit: General Officers, adjutant, medical, quartermaster and
commissary departments, engineer and signal corps, etc., ete.
The first step in this work is to obtain correct company and
staff rolls. Few it may be of the originals remain, but as the
companies were each formed in distinct neighborhoods, it is
believed that rolls very nearly correct can now be made by the
survivors from memory, if they will only seriously undertake
the work.
The Executive Committee of the State ask that you will
make out from the original rolls, or from memory of your com-
rades and yourself, rolls of your company or staff department,
upon the blank form furnished herewith; and, when’ completed
transmit the same to Colonel Edward McCrady, Jr., Chairman
Executive Committee State Survivors’ Association at Char-
leston.
I appeal earnestly to all who were in our service to co-operate
with the Association in the object it has in view, as it is a
matter of great historical importance, and should be one of
pride that the name of every man given by our State to the
Confederate service should be enrolled and preserved. Several
_ of the Southern States are now preparing similar rolls, and it

will be a subject of emulation among all to ascertain which of
them gave most freely to our cause.
If the information now sought by the Association is given
generally by those who are able to do so, our State, it is believed
will show a record surpassed in honor and brillancy by none
other. 7
Asking the cordial assistance of all who desire to vindicate
the honor and to perpetuate the fame of our State,
I am, very respectfully, WADE HAMPTON,

vors of our glorious struggle for liberty felt—to utter their feel-
ings. If I have done so, I am content, under God’s providence,
to wear out the chances of life in the faith of our lost cause,
and in the hope for its redemption. The survivors of Sidney
Johnston, Leonidas Polk, Stonewall Jackson, Robert Lee, and
our brothers, can never falter in the faith for which they dicd.
I will place the address in the hands of the Executive Com-

ADDRESS.
I have seen it quoted in history, that long ages ago, the Al-
pine forests were fired by the Barbarians, and from the deep
fissures burned into the earth, there flowed streams of pure
silver which enriched all the plains OF btalyy Ze OF oe
Patriotism is that virtue which crowns with laurel the’ living
brow,and embalms in the most fragrant spices, the memory of
the dead.
Gentlemen of the Survivors’ Association of South Carolina, Com-
rades of the Armies of the Confederacy :
I propose to recite to you some of the nearest causes of that
war, of which our dead brothers are the justified heroes and we
are the survivors.
I will then endeavour to relate in very general terms some of
the incidents of that marvellous war, familiar perhaps to most
of us, in which the patriotism of our brothers was so displayed
as to entitle their memories to be embalmed in honour, and us
to a just pride in sharing that honour. The first is intended to
show with what absolute justification we engaged in an unequal
and fatal war; and the second to show with what wonderful
strength a people will struggle for Right, and Truth and Liberty,
and what mighty valour devoted patriotism will display in that
struggle. I must then tell you of a people fatally subdued, with
a lost country, lost liberty, dwelling in dreary despair beneath
a cruel, remorseless and vulgar despotism. |
My narrative must be very simple and brief too, for our theme
is too grand, too solemn, too sorrowful for mere swelling sounds.
No polished forms are needed to commend it to our hearts. It
is a tale full of woe and very pitiful. I willseek, therefore, only
to trace the succession of events, not to record them, but to
call up the undying memories of those incidents which have
gilded, with unfading lustre, the names and deeds of our dead
brothers.
What duties, what obligations devolve on us as the survivors
of those events, which took from us our brothers lives, and our
liberties are easily deducible from the simplest narrative, and
from those things we daily see all around us. From the cireum-
stances which attended the attainment and gradual development
of our liberties are derived the most potent arguments for their
defence against aggression, and from those which marked their
rapid destruction are deduced the highest demands on us to seek

their resumption, and thus to rend the black vail of despair which
overhangs us.
This occasion suggests the theme. It is a formal mecting of
the Survivors’ Association of South Carolina, five years after
the war, to perform solemn rites in memory of ourdead, and to
show the world and transmit to posterity our faith in their justi-
fication.
I pray you, brother soldiers, go patiently with me for an hour
while with my feeble light I try to conduct you through some
wonderful manifestations of virtue in a people, who always
crowned success with gratitude to God and mercy to man, and
gilded defeat with humble faith and heroic fortitude, who know-
ing no mode of concession in a struggle for Truth could only be
starved and slaughtered into a submission, revolting to every
sentiment of their nature.
In the movements of human society, no single cause is suffi-
cient for revolutionary results. The causes of our war with
the people of New England and their allies, were various;
some manifest from the beginning of our unnatural Union with
them, others more recondite but not less potential. Chief
among the latter may be placed the antagonistic genius of the
Northern and Southern people; more diverse than the Dacian
and the Roman, or the Teuton and the Celt, far more diverse
than the people of Prussia and France. This antagonism had
engrossed the whole social nature and habitudes of the two
people, growing out of the different circumstances which
marked their origin on this Continent, and the different physi-
cal moral and domestic influences which have controlled them
for over two centuries. It is a very frequent result in man’s
history. Indeed, perhaps, most of the vicissitudes of nations
may be traced directly to this source, so potential at times as
to overlay all the influences of common origin and territorial
contiguity. We have only to refer to the near examples of the
Rhine, the Alps, the Straits of Dover, even the Irish Channel,
as keeping peoples as distinct as half a sphere. It is a truth
we should never forget that this cause is of sufficient magnitude
to demand that the political and civil institutions of these two
people can never coalesce in amity, except by the absolute
submission of one to the other. Bondage and privilege,(or at
least some form of civil pupillage)seem almost an imperative
law in national life. Governments to be free, must be strong,
—if that be not a paradox—and must have an outlet, a safety-
valve for the escape of tyranny,(for tyranny is the lust of
power, jor they will become oppressive, or die of self-pollution.
It is a subtle problem, but often solved by the logic of history.
To keep New England in the form of freedom she has chosen,
the South must be enthralled to gratify the lust of avarice and
the lust of power. The instinct of this necessity culminated in

the tremendous war, from which we survive to pay the tribute
which the sca-monster demands. Minor diser epancies may be
overcome or removed by the power even of forced association.
Your agricultural societies may bring grasses and shrubs which
will grow and flourish here, but the live oak and the palmetto
admit no foreign graff and demand their own soil, You cannot
transplant them to the inhospitable regions of the North. It
was the unacknowledged, but prevailing existence of this
fundamental antagonism which carried Sherman’s torches over
the land, and keeps Grant’s bayonnettes in Richmond and
Columbia, and makes the agent of force and fraud the only
umpire which can sit in judgment between the people of the
North and the people of the South. Remove that and we
would be freed in an hour. This, then, is of itself a sufficient
cause for that war, which has brought us to the woeful plight
of chain-bound subjects.
Second, The disagreement of these two people concerning the
form and terms of the common government prescribed by the
Constitution of the United States, was an ample cause of war.
In regard to the operation and administration of that Constitu-
tion, Patrick Henry, as the representative of the people of the
South, manifested a degree of analytic and prophetic states-
manship, never excelled since the institution of the Roman
Empire. That was a wonderful analysis, when amid the
tumultuous, enthusiastic and almost frantic roar for its adop-
tion, he said calmly and sternly, ‘when this instrument con-
fers power its language is clear, uncquivocal and terribly ex-
plicit ; but when it speaks of rights and privileges, there is an
ambiguity, a fatal ambiguity.” We in our own persons, and by
the graves of our brothers, have proved that this Constitution
was but a shrewd and ingenious and elaborate device to give
power at the expense of liberty; an ambiguity, a fatal am-
biguity. Mr. Henry assumed that this device—which hood-
winked and deluded the noblest band of patriotic statesmen
who ever struggled for true liberty—changed fundamentally all
the relations of the States, destroyed their sovereignty, and
made a solid Empire. This, he proclaimed, must be the result,
notwithstanding all the arguments, all the protestations, all the
faith of the greatest living statesm@n, in his own words:
‘¢ Despite an erring world.”’
Southern people believe the Constitution to be what Henry
and all Southern people wished it to be—a perfect guarantee of
the segregate sovereignty of the States. But Henry and George
Mason instinctively detected the features which have caused
the lamentable results of our day; and Randolph of Roanoke,
said, “I saw the Constitution in its chrysalis state, and saw
what Washington did not see, and only Patrick Henry and

George Mason saw—the fatal poison which lurked under its
wings.” It was the essence of this poison falling from the lips
of Webster, when he uttered the paltry phrase of “Union and
Liberty,” instead of the God-like words, “ Liberty and Inde-
pendence.”
I venture to believe, that if in 1790 we had begun to fight
against that instrument, instead of in 1860 to fight under it, we
would sooner have brought the contest to a happier end, and
that, instead of this day standing here in chains, weeping over
our dead brothers, we would be dictating the destinies of this
continent. Still 1 do not doubt but that our construction was
the one of truth, and that of the North altogether forced, un-
natural, and illogical. It was the nationality of the people of
America against the sovereignty of the people of the States,
and the decision of the question involved the whole system of
civilism in all its relations and ramifications, and was, therefore,
ample cause for war and separation, and did completely justify
our recourse to that alternative when it was forced upon us.
Third, The world has been wickedly taught, and foolishly be-
lieves, that we resorted to war solely to preserve our institution
of African slavery. Suppose that to have been the only cause
of our resistance. I assert that we had in it the amplest justi-
‘fication, in necessity, in public policy and economy, and in the
best attributes of civilization as ascertained by experience and
enjoyment. Public necessity and policy justified it because our
whole system of civil and social organism was based on this
form of slavery; and, therefore, the slightest regard to the true
principles of liberty ‘and self- over nment would have left its
control exclusively with us. But besides this, there were thou-
sands of millions of material wealth indissolubly involved in
the maintenance of slavery, the destruction of which it was ap-
prehended, and is now proved, would destroy the whole econo-
mical condition of our country. And to this sufficient fact were
conjoined public morality and progressive power and civilization,
in the further fact, that notwithstanding sixty years of inexora-
ble opposition to, and fanatic phrenzy against slavery, robbing
its products by fraud and force, no part of Christendom, where
agriculture was the natural and main industry, did advance with
such rapidity and firmness, in every department of social de-
velopment, as in the States and with the people where slavery
existed. Beyond all cavilling of logic or morals, African
slavery was the basis of the material and social superiority of
the Southern people on this continent. It gave its hundreds of
millions of dollars to the commerce of the world; it gave its
millions of pagans to Christianity. It cleared forests, and built
churches, and gave culture, refinement, and religion to the wil-
derness. Pure religion, refined morals, affluent wealth chari-
tably used, happiness and contentment were growing over the

land, and made the South so strong and 60 fair as to tempt the
avarice and madden the envy of our natural enemies, and they
rose and girded their swords, and slew our brothers, and took
away our governments which made us free, and our slaves
which made us rich, and burned our houses, in which we were
happy, and burned our churches in which we meekly and grate-
fully worshipped the true God, and changed all our Eden to
the hell which swarms around us. And to prevent this, were
we not justified in resistance and war ?
And thus the war began, for I need not weary you with de-
tailing any more of the scores of causes which led to it. Thus
the war began. On one side a people fighting for the rights
their fathers gave them, for self-government, for a glorious
liberty, for a fair and beautiful land, for a happy and virtuous
prosperity ; a people who sought only to be let alone, and to
worship their God in the name of Jesus Christ. On the other
side, a people restless and turbulent with the passions of ava-
‘rice and fanaticism, discontented with true liberty, impatient
of Christ’s humble faith, eager and strong in material power,
but without one elevating principle of patriotism, of public or
personal morality.
. On the field of Manassas these diverse, antagonistic people
first met in hostile array, and a countless horde of fanatic plun-
derers fled like sheep before the instinctive prowess of the
patriot soldier defending the land, the homes and altars of
his fathers, and whose only spell-word was liberty! but not
before their villain and cowardly arms had written in blood
more than one bright name on the dead-roll of our Association.
Thus, then, in brief, began the general war; and I dare, solemnly,
submit to a posterty freed from the interests of the hour; I
dare, humbly, to submit to that God of Right, in whose presence
the spirits of our dead brothers now stand, and say: “ Father
are they not justified of Thee.” Yes, before the earth, before
the Heavens, our dead brothers live the justified martyrs of
Liberty and of Truth.
But long before the general struggle began, the soldiery of
which we are the remnant had made their names immortal, for
while Time’s inexorable wave is continually washing away the
proudest trophies of human strength and art, so long as the
pulse of the sea beats on the shores of this New World, so long
will oblivion fail to know tke “ Ruins of Fort Sumter,” the
first prize of Carolina’s heroism, the last shelter of Carolina's
liberty.
int the day will come when every ship, from every land,
which sails on the sea towards the shores of Carolina, will trail
its flag and toll its bell, and men of every nation will stand
uncovered as they pass the Ruins of Fort Sumter:

‘« Freedom hallows with her tread
The silent cities of the dead;
For beautiful in death are they
Who proudly fall in her array;
And soon, oh Goddess, may we be,
Forever more with them—or Thee!”’
When one daughter of Erectheus, King of Athens, was con-
demned by the Oracles to be sacrificed for her country, all her
sisters voluntarily joined her in the sacrifice. South Carolina
was the chosen one for our sacrifice, because her heart had been
purest and her robes whitest; but the first fillet had not been
woven for her brow, before every Southern sister was by her
side arrayed like herself. i
Brother Soldiers, 1 have told you that I would endeavour
to group and relate some of the incidents of that war in which
the virtue and valour of our dead was so displayed as to entitle
them to the honours we offer, and warrant us in rendering those
honours. The cataclysm of blood, and thestifling misery of our
slavery had confused my memory. I had lost place and time,
and lived only in dazy mourning. I appealed to our gallant
and devoted Secretary for the record. It was my purpose from
it to try to narrat'. some of the great deeds of the living and
the dead, and thereby wake the proud memory or woo the
silent tear, to try to count from the record the countless num-
bers, who in the beginning rushed into the battle for liberty,
and then to tell the meagre list of the bleeding remnant, who
in the end survive to wear the chains of tyranny, to show how,
always in the front, on every field our brothers blood hallowed
the earth, from Gettysburg to Galveston. But why read over
the 60,000 names which blazon the South Carolina roll of honour,
or tell of the hundreds of battlefields, red with the blood of her
martyrs. We all know them, our little children lisp them.
Did not your grey haired father fall in front of you at Mannas-
sas. Did not your brother sink beside you at Petersburg.
Did not your beautiful boy fall at your feet weltering in his
rich young blood on some field of Virginia, or Carolina, or
Georgia.. Did you not see the blazing home of your father§,
hear your mother’s wail and your fair sister’s maddened shriek.
Oh God! my countrymen J dare not call you, with your still
bleeding hearts and seared eyes, to gaze back on those most
bloody and unnatural days. Go to your graveyards and weep
in silence ; go to your desolate homes, and mourn in secret; go to
the House of God, and pray for His mercy to your torn hearts,
and for His redemption of your lost country. Count, then,
every name in South Carolina from sixteen to sixty years of
age, and you have not yet all ber muster roll. Write down
every battlefield and you have the record of her heroism; tell
every story of noble daring and devoted fortitude, and you re-

peat the names of her sons; but every little child can read the
list and tell the sum of the roll of the survivors. See then the
soldiers of Carolina, first at Sumter and Manassas, and her 2,000
out of 10,000 at Appomattox. Iam astounded at this record.
I cannot select for rhetorical grouping, Were I to do so, every
soldier here, would create another picture of other events of
equal blazon. Where I to tell of Gregg’s First, they would think
of twenty regiments of equalvalour. Were [to tell of clubbing
muskets over the breastworks of Spotsylvania they would think
of forty fields as stern and bloody. The effort is vain. We
need not books, or monuments, or swelling words; it is here,
here in our heart of hearts, and written in blood in the still un-
folded scroll of a God of Truth and Right.
Let us then pass by the mere narrative of those glorious but
sorrowful events of which we are the survivors, and glance for
a moment at that living but unhealthy world, in which, craw-
ling between heaven and earth, we are not allowed to dwell as
voluntary actors, or to escape the malaria of the filth which
has flooded the land. But, my countrymen, while we look at
it, let us not drag down our own bright traditions into that .
filth and mire which is suffocating us. Lay them up in the
temples and holy places; keep them there, for there is not left
on earth one key for their just interpretation. Why, what liv-
ing meaning to us now have the names of Washington, Jeffer-
son and Henry; of Madison, Calhoun and Lowndes; of Mc-
Duffie, Cheves and Hayne; Eutaw, Cowpens, Yorktown; of
Fort Sumter, Manassas, Malvern Hill, Chancellorsville, Fred-
ricksburg or Appomattox; of all our dead; while we, living,
are clamoring piteously for an enslaved existence; the right
to breathe ; at the mercy of our slaves, and their ruffian and
revolting associates. Here we stand to-night, in a temple dedi-
cated to the God of Truth, from whose organ came the first
hymns that ushered our struggle for liberty, whining our pal-
try murmurs; while, if I but pause a second, you can hear our
master’s shout of triumph ringing through the streets. It docs
seem to me that in this shameful and infamous life of ours it is
an added infamy, if not a blasphemy, to call ourselves Caroli-
nians. Carolinians! the slavish sires of hereditary bondsmen.
“« Neque noctem aurora secuta est !”
A Pagan robber said toa Christian king: “ My comrades and
I believe only in our swords; it is our only religion, and accord-
ing to our faith it is all that is necessary.” This is the practical
application of that devilish phrase our conquerors have dogma-
tised for our faith, and under the decrees of which we are
breathing in this latter world, the divine right of numbers,
“the arbitrament of the sword.” The true explication of which
phrase is, that being overwhelmed in war, we must adopt not
only e forms but the faith of our conquerors.

For more than seventy years we refrained from resorting to
the sword, as a remedy for the tremendous error of our fathers
in binding us to an unnatural and hateful union with an antag-
onistic and repulsive people; and when at length that people
drove us to its use in repelling actual hostile invasion, it resulted
in that sad failure to defend ourselves and our country, which
leaves us the survivors, and the living victims. No act of ours
selected the arbitrament, and no concession of ours consented to
its decree. Our enemies chose the tribunal and sent their
Scythian hordes to enforce the “dogma of the sword.” We
stood avowedly on self-defence, fighting against the assault of
ten times our numbers, and the sympathies and supplies of the
world, until we were starved and slaughtered into submisssion.
Even then we made no concession of principle, but exhausted
Nature refused us strength to raise an arm or utter a protest ;
we surrendered no army of 200,000 equipped soldiers at Sedan,
but at Appomattox, a starving skeleton, with scarce blood
enough left to stain the swords of our conquerors ; our surren-
der was not to New England but to Death.
. Now, in the name of truth or even of a decent logic, what
principle of faith could be thus settled? It is a logical
absurdity and a moral infamy to assert that we have adopted a
new faith by reason of the “arbitrament of the sword.” We
live under constraint, under subjection, under subjugation ; we
live under the cord that binds, and the lash that moves us; we
are slaves. ‘Treason to every tradition we have laid up in our
holy places; treason to every grave in which the ashes we
survive is mouldering; treason to every prayer uttered by
our brothers as their life-blood gurgled out on the field of their
glory; treason to our outraged women and their fatherless
children ; treason to God’s holiest name off[Truth may make
us “accept the situation” as the arbitrament of the sword.
But, if we take that declaration, as we must take it, that our
brothers did not die for the truth, we utter the foulest lie with
which men ever stigmatised themselves, their fathers or their
brethren. The world we live in is not the world of our choice,
or the decree of any tribunal which faith and justice declare
legitimate. It is a world of fraud, of torce, and of subjugation ;
else, all our past and this Association is a mockery, and this
day’s solemn rites are filthy lies. The logic is as strong as the
fact, that we never have given and never can give our assent to
the decree which has been rendered ; and here, kneeling by the
graves of our brothers, our sacred duty is, to enter our solemn
appeal to the supreme God of Truth, and leave the judgment
to no earthly tribunal.
Pardon me, comrades, for saying a few more words on this
topic. It is a very grave, avery solemn one. We have been
much deluded by this vile phrase—the arbitrament of the

sword. It has satisfied the easy-going consciences of some we
thought among our best, and it has bewildered many honest
and truthful minds.
I think I have shown you we were justified in resorting to
war ; that it was prosecuted faithfully and heroically, and the
world and our enemies have conceded that we fought on our
consciences, and were not traitors. But I will not detain you
with mere casuistical argumentation. One or two scenes
which have been enacted at remote intervals since our conquest
was completed, will suffice to maintain my assumption—that
we are the subjects of force and not the proselytes of faith.
After our armies were surrendered or captured, the people
ruling the United States Government offered a reward of one
hundred thousand dollars for the capture of our Chief, Jefferson
Davis. The world cried shame!—but the generic distinction
between man and beast is, that the beast is incapable of
shame—and the people and the soldiers of New England
started in eager pursuit of the Confederate Chieftain, hot for
the blood-money. He was seized and dragged ‘to their strong-
est fortress, chained like a felon, and thrust down below the
sea level, in a double-tiled dungeon, this feeble old man, the
prize of New England’s prowess, the prisoner of the sword of
the great American Republic! They set to guard him legions
of soldiers and squadrons of war ships; and all the men, and
women and children of New England howled around his cage
for a lap at the few drops of blood still creeping feebly through
his heart.
The next. scene in this strange drama is this same old man
in the felon’s dock at Richmond, before New England’s Chief
Judge, and his satellites, and mighty men, learned in their
laws, to tell of his treasons, of rebellion, and insurrection, and
violated constitutions, and all the jargon of insolent and
cowardly triumph. But even Jeffrey and his hangmen shrank
from touching his faith, for it abided in the impregnable law
of truth. Their Congress then tried it, but sat silent under the
poor shadow of shame that was left to them. . But their people
must have blood, and they set devils, outcast from the South,
to glut their thirst in hellish orgies over a foreign subaltern
and a poor, pitiful, half-crazy woman. Before the Christian
world they dare not touch one hair of him who stood clothed
in the robes of the Confederate faith—that faith which has
made his name illustrious over the earth, and to all coming
ages. Does the world give its applause to the faith which fails
in a dungeon’s vault, or to the culprit in the felon’s dock ?
Oae other scene to show what we and the world think of
this arbitrament of the sword.
Within a little month (even as I was thinking of the meeting
of this Survivors’ Association) the news came to Richmond that

General Lee was dead. In two hours all Christendom was
shocked with the sound that the most illustrious man of the
earth was dead; that the hero, the patriot, and the Christian
who illustrated the age, was dead, and the earth left vacant
of its greatest greatness ; the most majestic master of men, the
purest patriot, the humblest follower of the meek and lowly
Jesus, had joined in the royal fellowship of death with Stone-
wall Jackson and our brothers! Why was the earth draped
in mourning, and solemn bells tolled responsive around its
circle? What made Robert Lee the prime man of the age in
which he lived, and the most mourned of all its dead? Why is
the grave ot Lee richer in reverence than the jewelled tombs
of kings? Why are the struggling nations, from the Thracian
Bosphorus to the Pacific Ocean, preparing to pass, in endless
procession, those tombs which mark with like glory the triumph
of Washington and the failure of Lee? Did the arbitrament of
the sword decide at Appomatox that the grave in God’s house
at Lexington was to be filled with the bones of a traitor and
felon? If that be so, instead of being in that holy place to have
the homage of a mourning world, send Sherman, and Hunter,
and Sheridan to dig up, Lee’s bones, and scatter them, like a
beast’s, in the wilderness. If that be so, General, why do you
not order us here to-night—the survivors of Lee’s peers—to
form ranks, march out of this holy church, fling out the banner
of New England, and, with penitential tears, and Grant’s myr-
midons lashing our lagging steps, go to yonder burying-place,
and, with these hands, unearth the dust from the graves our
maidens have strewed with white flowers, and scatter it on the
waters which will waft it to oblivion, beyond the shadow of the
“ Ruins of Fort Sumter ?”
No, no, the sword is not the arbiter of man’s faith, but the
instrument of his unnatural rage, which, in all time, has swept
from the earth the monuments of truth and virtue, Where, to-
day, are all the free and struggling nations? Egypt, Israel,
Greece, Rome—all, all mangled by the sword, and cast, in life-
less fragments, on the waves of time. But, from that truth,
which to-day mourns and weeps over this stricken land, the
sword shrinks and cowers as the demon from the cross. It
may cleave the altars of Liberty, and sunder the constitutions
and life of nations, but it has no steel hard or keen enough to
cut from our hearts the faith in which our brothers died and
we survive. Oh, if there be any here to-day, the baseless fabric
of whose faith has been dissolved by the blood of his brothers,
“ before whose new-entranced gaze,Casar now walgs the pur-
pled honors, and shakes the purse of glittering gold ;” who, be-
neath the pitiless contempt of his masters, spreads his greedy
palin to catch the rotting garbage which the conqueror, in dis-
dain, tosses from his triumphant chariot, at once, at once

‘‘ Let him go hence, and, with his cap in hand,
Like a base pander, hold the chamber door,
Whilst by a slave
His fairest daughter is contaminate!”
And never let good men tell his story to their children:
‘¢ Hnough—no foreign foe could quell
Thy soul till from itself it fell!
Yes, self-abasement paved the way,
To villains’ bonds and despot sway !”’
But this cannot be for us while we are thus banded to per-
petuate the memory of our brothers, cemented by the blood of
the martyrs of that august cause, consecrated in our hearts to
more than human sacredness and majesty. Westand here with
chained hands, and muscles strained to bursting, beneath our
burden, and hearts weeping blood as we gaze at the still smoul-
dering ashes of our superb and beautiful land; but when we
look in upon our free souls, we know that our faith in that
cause is as immortal as the justified spirits of our comrades,
now pleading for it in the very presence of a God of Truth and
Right.
It is difficult to suggest, and almost impossible to define,
what duties may lay upon an enslaved people, whose liberty is
judged by other men’s consciences, and whose food is the meat
offered to other men’s idols, from whom every attribute of voli-
tion is forcibly withheld, and upon whom every function of life
which is repulsive to their habitudes is violently thrust by
relentless and persistent masters. HKven if we dared, with fret-
ful audacity, we cannot truthfully assert, for one moment, that
we are not a subdued people, without one right of free-will
action left to us. The grim mockeries which are flung at us,
as a jailor tosses a blanket to a culprit who is to be hanged
to-morrow, serve only to assure and clinch our debasement.
Our conqueror claims and exercises all the powers of conquest—
the powers—for conquest has no rights. Mahomet, Cortes and
New England may call them rights, but it is only a brutal fic-
tion. We wear the livery of our master, who forces us to forge
the chains with which he binds our hands, to clamp them by
our own acts, and then to kiss them in token of reverence and
submission, And we do this hourly. We do it in every act of
citizenship we pretend to perform. He clutches us by the
throat, and crushes us down on our knees before his idols. Is,
then, obedienée to him the first duty of the Confederate sur-
vivor? Merciful God! that we—we, born freemen—should be
sunk so low as to eutrage humanity by asking the question. I
pray you, brother soldiers, do not spit at me for uttering the
thought. It is an old man’s hopelessyss. No, by Heaven, we
owe them no gratitude but to curse them! we owe them no

obedience, but to raise our manacled hands and dash out their
brains.-We may dream we are honest when we swear alle-
giance to them, but that is a wicked phantasm. We may recur
to old traditions of a bastard brotherhood, or listen to the delu-
sions of hope, but the law is inexorable over our souls. We
cannot of our free will enact the lie of obedience to New Eng-
land. Itis only by the goad of the bayonet, and the scourge
of the lash, that we now or ever can perform that duty.
It seems to me, then, that our first active duty as members
of this Association is to gather and preserve the records, which
tell the virtue and the glory of our dead brothers, and, as early
as practicable, have them arranged for transmitting that bright
story to posterity.. There be often in the world’s history names
which have outlived the good they have done, and there have
been myriads whose good deeds have outlived their names. It
is these labourers in God’s fields whose harvest our children’s
children must reap. We will all perish before it ripens, but in
His good time, they will garner it up. Now, the part South
Carolina acted in the tremendous drama, presents a spectacle
rarely equalled in the world’s history, and should at once be
grouped for the contemplation, and the instruction of the des-
cendants of those, who where her actors. The world too must
be truthfully told what we did and what we suffered. It is a
tale of woe, but Wonderfully glorious. Surely we have among
us those whose pens can fitly record the deeds their swords so
valiantly aided to perform. Before we all pass away, even
while we are yet bondsmen, let us try to rescue our brothers
fame from the lies of those, who, to hide their own shame, seek
to render us infamous. This is our first and most sacred duty,
it is all we can do for the dead, and it is enough, for it gives to
them the full reward of the hero and the patriot ; the applause,
the gratitude and the veneration of posterity.
Our first duty to ourselves and all our living is to devote
every energy of our being to redeem the desolations of our
precious old State, this dear, dear Carolina, now hemmed, and
harrowed, and polluted, foul vermin breeding in her heart,
and obscene beasts gnawing at her already whitened bones.
Need I say to her sons, that in doing this, we must preserve
untarnished our personal honour; and keep ourselves unspotted
from the leprosy which is flowing around us. Another duty we
have, or rather a part of that I have indicated, is to join with
and encourage the hopeful spirit which dictates these Indus-
trial Exhibitions, for they are distinct evidences of a progressive
determination to regain material strength for that contest, which
can never cease until we are again free.
It is true our masters may reap where we have strown, for
they are hard men, but for the hour we may glean a pittance,
to teach our children hopes of liberty. We have suffered ter-

ribly and our bondage is harrowing to our souls, but in truth we
are but in the infancy of national lite, and have felt only the first
agonies of growing nations; the hereditary bondsmen we leave
behind us, will have far more than our suffering, and it is surely
our duty now to give the poor remnant of our lives to mitigat-
ing on them the penalties of our sad failure. We are the sons
and brothers of freemen, but by the dispensation of God we
are the sires of slaves, who may never, except in the traditions
of their fathers, know what liberty is. Hvery child now to be
born in South Carolina inherits a viler slavery than that which
came to the negro in the jungles of Africa, for one is the slave
of nature, the other is the young eagle torn from his nest and
chained to the block.
It is our duty to prepare them for chats emancipation, by
teaching them to think, to work, to pray, and never to forget
the traditions of their fathers. Strange things have happened
in the old world in 1870. Stranger things may happenin the
new world before 1880. Will it be stranger for us to be free
than it is for us to be slaves? Is it not very, very strange for
us to be the slaves of New England—too strange to last! Let
us, then, in these bad days shun every compromise which en-
dangers the natural bonds of human society, or invades the
sympathies of the human heart, or violates the fixed and mani-
fest laws of God and Nature.
All such compromises are foolish, unnatural and fatally wicked,
and will surely perpetuate our woe andshame. ‘The poor, silly
and sinful fools who have made such compromises, will suffer
the pangs of grievous remorse when the truth again prevails.
Let us now, writhing in poverty and sorrow, pity those who
have betrayed our faith.
' Qur dutiés, then, are to our dead as having died in honor; to
our children as living in hope; and to ourselves as a people
held in bondage by a fierce, relentless and vulgar tyranny. It
is that tyranny which sets over us what it calls its constitu-
tions and governments, that it may rule and degrade us by its
own vile agencies—that tyranny which fills the College Chapel
with its ruffian mercenaries, and the State House with the filthy
things it shamelessly calls a Legislature; Executive and Judi-
ciary, so foul that when force or necessity drags us among them ,
we sicken and shudder at the stench; that tyranny which has
turned the once peaceful and beautiful streets of this fair town
into a stalking place for thieves and their minions. There be
some who we have honored, wh» go up to that State House and
lick the feet of their Governor, and Senators and Judges, for by
these names, with grotesque profanity, they salute each other,
and accept their garbage. But they are vermin who are always
bred in corruption ; who could not breathe in the pure life of
our old days. Let them now live in their rottenness; our duty

is religiously to shun these places, and give ourselves to the
stern necessities of food and shelter for our wives and children ;
to keep them from the pollution, and to cherish iu our ininost
souls the undying hope, the abiding faith of a coming deliver-
ance.
But for others beside the surviving soldiers, there are solemn
duties. Yes, for these, our women, the saddest, sweetest, holi-
est duty. It is, that all our women, mothers, wives, widows and
maidens—the saintly soldiers of the altar, the loom, and the
hospital—shall for all time to come, on each returning['enth of
May, gather the most fragrant spring flowers, and dressed in
mourning robes, in silent procession go to our burying places,
and call the most venerable minister of God, who on the battle
tield has heard the last message of our brothers to us and them,
and ask him to invoke there the very presence of the God of
Truth and Purity, while the women lay the flowers on the graves
of the Confederate dead. No human speech then; no human
song; nothing, nothing there, but the silent tears of mourning
women ! :
‘‘ Ye shall have peace, with liberty at last,
Your bruises all be healed, your joys restored,
Only believe the promise of the Lord.”

PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
SURVIVORS’ ASSOCIATION,
OF THE
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
HELD AT
HIBERNIAN HALL, CHARLESTON, 8. G.,
DECEMBER 12ru, 1872.*
The Convention was called to order by General J. B. Kershaw,
senior Vice-President, at half-past twelve o'clock. The following
officers were also present :
Vice-President—Major T. G. Barker.
Secretary—Colonel A. C. Haskell.
Executive Board—Colonel Edward McCrady, General James Con-
ner, Colonel C. Irvine Walker. .
Fourteen Districts were represented, as follows: Abbeville, J. M.
Jordan; Barnwell, Judge A. P. Aldrich; Beaufort, Major Wm.
Elliott; Charleston, Colonel B. H. Rutledge; Captain J. S. Fairly,
Captain A. G. Magrath, Jr., Captain F. K. Huger, Colonel Zim-
merman Davis; alternates, Major Hutson Lee, Captain W. Aiken
* In originally fixing the date and place of the meetings of the Association,
the intention was to make them the same as those of the meeting of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, but in this year the latter Society
held their meeting the first week in November, and it became necessary to
change our time of meeting. By direction of the President, at the sugges-
tion of the Executive Board, the time was changed as above.

A quorum was announced and the business proceeded.
Letters from General Wade Hampton, the President of the Asso-
ciation, and from General John 8. Preston, expressing regret at not
being able to attend, were read and received as information.
The following preamble and resolutions, presented by Captain F.
K. Huger and Major J. J. Lucas, were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, the spirit of the ageis manifestly adverse to the preser-
vation of the important events connected with the glorious past of
our people, from 1860 to 1865, tending rather to destroy than to pre-
serve them;
And whereas, we recognize it a sacred duty to protect, and a proud
privilege to revere the memory of our heroic dead. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the “Survivors’ Association, of the State of
South Carolina,” i Convention assembled, do hereby pledge our-
selves, collectively and individually, to advocate vigorously the
inauguration of District Associations throughout the State, as the
only sure means of collating statistics and preserving the records of
the past, and thereby furnishing material for the preparation of the
history of our people, in which, at least, justice may be done the
dead, and the living taught to know their deeds of valor, and to
revere their memories. |
Be it further resolved, That the chair appoint one survivor in each
District, who shall be charged with the duty of organizing, in con-
nection with this Association, District Associations, and, where
District Associations already exist, with the duty of using his influ-
ence to promote their success.
Colonel B. H. Rutledge presented the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That each District Association be, and is hereby, assess-
ed, and the members present are personally pledged to use their best
vital eworegtos

efforts to procure the payment to the Treasurer of this Association,
before the first of January, 1873, the sum of fifty dollars for each
District, and that it be made the duty of the Secretary to commu-
nicate with the persons in each District, and report those who fail
to respond to the Executive Committee.
A resolution, introduced by Major Barker, commendatory of Mr.
Guerry’s portraits of General Lee, and thanking the artist and the
authorities of Greenville and Spartanburg for exhibiting them in
in Charleston, was adopted.
The officers of the past year were re-elected, with the exception
of a change in the Executive Board, caused by the withdrawal of
the Chairman, Colonel Edward MéCrady. The following are the
officers :
President—General WADE Hampron.
Vice-Presidents—General R. H. Anprrson, General J. B. KEr-
sHAW, General 8. McGowan, Major T. G. BARKER.
Secretary—Colonel A. C. HasKELL.
Treasurer—Captain W. K. BacuMan.
Executive Board—Colonel J. H. Rion, General Exvuison Carers,
General JAMES ConnER, Colonel J. McCurcuen, Colonel W. H.
WALLACE, Colonel A. Cowarp, Colonel C. InvINE WALKER.
The following resolution was offered by Captain John 8. Fairly,
and was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of this Association are due, and are
hereby tendered to Colonel McCrady, on jhis retirement from the
position of Chairman of the Executive Committee, for the untiring
zeal, energy and judgment with which he has discharged the duties
of that office under many discouragements and difficulties, and that
they express their regret that his private engagements should have
made his resignation necessary.
On the motion of Col. E. C. McClure, the following change in
the Constitution was made—more than two-thirds of the*Delegates
voting for the same—Art. IV., Sec. 1—on second line, change
word “Columbia” to ‘‘ Charleston,” and strike out word “second,”
and on third line change words “of November” to “after the second
Tuesday in December.” The Article now reads as follows:

ARTICLE IV.—MEETINGS.
Section 1. There shall be an annual meeting of this Association,
which shall be held at Charleston, on the Thursday after the second -
Tuesday in December, to which each District Association shall be
entitled to send five delegates.
Srcrion 2. Special meetings may be called by the President at
the written request of five (5) District Associations.
On motion of General James Conner, the committees appointed
at the last meeting were continued in office until the next meeting,
with leave to report. .
Captain John S. Fairly, Chairman of the Committee on Design,
submitted the following report, which was read and adopted :
Report of the Committee on Design for Certificate of Membership
of the Survivors’ Association of the State of South Carolina,
appointed for 1871:
Your Committee, appointed at the last meeting of this Association
to inquire and report as to the best manner of reproducing the
design for a certificate of membership, adopted at that meeting, and
the probable cost of the same, have the honor to report that after
due inquiry they would recommend an engraving on steel as the
most permanent and elegant style of execution.
The estimated cost of engraving the plate in the best style of art
is one thousand to twelve hundred dollars. The printing will proba-
bly cost one dollar ($1) per copy, making the aggregate cost of
plate and printing three hundred (300) copies, say thirteen to fifteen
hundred dollars.
The committee believe that the copies will sell, when executed-as
above indicated, readily to members at five ($5) each, and that at
least one hundred copies will be taken in Charleston District, leav-
ing only two hundred for the other Districts, being an average of
about six (6) copies to each District. If subscriptions for this num-
ber can be obtained the cost of the first edition will be covered, and
all that can be sold afterwards will be a source of revenue to the
Association.
Your Committee, therefore, recommend that they be authorized,
as soon as they can procure the requisite number of subscriptions, to
order the plate to be engraved and printing done, and sell to mem-

JOHN S. FAIRLY,
Chairman for Committee.
The meeting then adjourned.
The Convention re-assembled at 7 o’clock in the evening to hear the
annual address delivered by General J. B. Hood. The intense cold of
the weather prevented as full an attendance of citizens as the interest
of the occasion warranted. The hall was, however, very well filled.
At a quarter-past seven o’clock the acting President of the Conven-
tion, General J. B. Kershaw, introduced the Rev. John Johnson,
who opened the proceedings with a prayer for the prosperity of the
Association and the furtherance of its objects. General Kershaw
next introduced the Right Rev. C. T. Quintard, Bishop of Tennes-
see, who made a brief and stirring address, expressive of his com-
plete sympathy with the Association, and with the sad and sacred
recollections which it cherished. He enforced the idea that, as with
individuals, so with people, the bitter cup of suffering strengthens
and purifies. Nations had risen through revolution and bloodshed
to a loftier national life; and so might we, if we are only true to
ourselves and to our record. Ours was an honest struggle, and the .
day would come when men would confess it. We cannot, said the
Bishop, forget the past, even if we would. Animosities may die
out; bitterness may give way; but you cannot so inter the past
below the dust of ages but what some part or portion clings above.
The very finger posts that point the onward ages are skeleton arms,
and blood upon our thresholds will take voice and tell a thousand
sorrows. God grant that the memory of departed days may grow
more sacred still. And be it ours to perpetuate the heroic deeds
and lofty valor of our sons and sires, not alone in brass and ever-
during stone, but with the pen of history. Let us take a harp of
song and sweep a mighty music down the strings, till the age shall
vibrate with it, and the earth shall hold her ear to listen to the story.
And you, gentlemen, of this Association, though scarred with
sorrows, still stand erect in harness to the last Duty, and yield your
souls, scourged, chastened, purified by Life’s battle, unit His hand,
who doeth all things well.

At the conclusion of Bishop Quintard’s address, General Kershaw
introduced the orator of the occasion, General J. B. Hood, asking
for him a genuine South Carolina welcome, which was accorded in a
round of hearty and prolonged applause.*
The oration of General Hood was then delivered, after which the
meeting adjourned.

ADDENDA.
N. B.—The following communication from Col, A. Coward,
ig in reply to a request made him to furnish the text of his
most generous offer, made at the meeting. It was received too
late for incorporation in the proceedings, but the Executive
Committee would be remiss in their duty to the Association and
to the Cause were they to fail to publish it, even though not in
its proper place:
.)
Kina’s Mountain Minirary pow
YORKVILLE, 8. C., June 23, 1873.
Col. C. Irvine Walker, Charleston, S. C.:
‘DEAR Cotonrt—When I had the pleasure of meeting the
Survivors last December, I was suffering from the effects of a
severe chill, and my head was ringing from large doses of
quinine. I am afraid I expressed myself neither clearly nor
fully. I intended simply to announce the fact that three years
previously to that meeting, I had set apart three scholarships
in the King’s Mountain Military School for the benefit of the
Survivors’ Association—one to be filled by my own appoint-
ment, and the other twosubject to the appointment of the Pres-
ident of the State Survivors’ Association. As my desire was
simply to do good without notoriety, I requested Gen. Hampton
not to publish the fact; but merely to make his selection and
send methe names. These scholarships provide board and
tuition, so that the incumbents are at no expense except for
clothing and medical attendance. In addition to this, at my
solicitation, the Faculty of the Washington and Lee University
have kindly offered to admit, free of fees, for one year, in the
several schools, any of these pupils 1 might recommen.
Although this bencfaction is quite large for my means—the cost
of each cadet here being $270 per annum—yet the benefits reach
a very sinall number. It occurred to me that, by a display of
interest on the part of the District Associations, the number to
be benefited might be considerably increased. Thus: The

money value of the two scholarships subject to the appoint-
ment of the President of the Association is $540, This would
support ‘three pupils, who pay $102 each ; or four at $135; or
five at $162; or six at $180, and so on. Could not the District
Associations make up the amount and send a_ beneficiary
through the President’s appointment? May not the latter
often find some boys who could themselves contribute some-
thing, and thus increase the number benefited? This was in
substance the suggestion I made at the last meeting. I would
be truly glad to see the matter acted on promptly, for these
children are rapidly outgrowing the benefits they ought to re-
ceive at our hands. In afew years more our opportunity will
have passed away—the youngest of these many bright lads will
have reached manhood unaided, undeveloped by the fostering
care of their dead father’s comrades. i
Very truly,
Your friend,
A. COWARD.

ORATION
OF
General J. B. HOOD.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Comrades in Arms:
I shall make no apology for my shortcomings as an orator ; you well
know public speaking has never been within my province. I must
rely upon the good will of those with whom I have shared so many
trials in camp and battle, to bear with me whilst I assume the diffi-
cult, yet pleasing task of addressing them. I am not unmindful
that there are those amid this chosen assemblage who have been, I
may say, nurtured upon that rare eloquence which has been the gift
of so many sons of their justly proud and noble State.
I will, however, in my own simple manner, state in brief what I
conceive to be the principal causes of failure in the revolution of
1861, refer at the same time to the difference in method and prac-
tice of the two sections in utilizing the resources at their disposal for
the prosecution of the war, and conclude with what I regard the
true philosophy which should govern those of us who are left as
monitors of the past, whose mission should be to guide and teach
the young how in the future to achieve greatness as a people sur-
passing that of our day, and thereby add still greater renown to our
much loved country of the South; coupling the whole.with such
facts, and furnishing copies of such records as may be of interest to
to you as gatherers of material for the historian.
I assume that the war was unavoidable on our part; that aside
from all questions which did and must continue to arise with «1 peo-
ple occupying so vast a territory as that of the United States—a

tropics to the frigid zone; thus giving unusual activity and energy
to her merchants on land and water; arousing all the jealousies to
be found in the busy world of commerce, and causing each section.
to stand with outstretched arms, ready and anxious to reap adyan-
tages not enjoyed by the other—lI say, regardless of all other causes:
of difference, slavery, for which we are not accountable, was the
secret motor, the mainspring of the war. The people of the North,
thoroughly imbued with the teachings of New and Old England,
determined to force the issue, and to arms! was sounded from the
shores of Maine to the Rio Grande. In their struggle to bring
freedom to the bondman, they enslaved the white man ; and from that
hour passed away that liberty, “ whose influence is more benign than
zephyrs, covers the rugged rock with soil, and clothes the brown
heath in verdure, dresses the lJaborer’s face with smiles, and makes
him behold his increasing family with delight and exultation ;” that
liberty which once brought to us these blessings, but which dwells
no longer in our land.
The North began its crusade against the South with all the en-
ergy and tenacity of purpose which have ever been characteristic of
that section in all its undertakings. Atan early period the Federal
Government was invested with an extraordinary power, almost
equal to that of the Czar of Russia. It was supported by a Con-
gress eager to make every appropriation, and to enact every law
necessary to sustain the policy of the administration. Governors of
different States vied with one another as to who would prove most
co-operative, and supply the greatest number of men and the largest
amount of money, with defeat after defeat, again and again they
hastened to Washington to learn what more they should do to crush
the mighty rebellion. Deserters found no security at home, and
fled to Canada to escape arrest by the civil officers of State, to say
nothing of the military. Volumes were searched for information as
(0 the best rules to be observed in the practice of war; officers were
lispatched to foreign countries to examine and report upon the im-
orovement in the art. Drill and discipline, the foundation of well
organized armies were strictly adltered to, and from these concen-
rated efforts, united with our blindness and neglect, resulted, at the
slose of the war, not only success, but from raw recruits and mobs
iad arisen well equipped and disciplined armies.
And now, my comrades and countrymen, let us turn from this
vell built structure homeward. I will first venture the assertion

that, if you were so unfortunate as to be forced into revolution to-
morrow, you would at once secure the service of all officers who
knew somewhat of the organization and drill of companies and
regiments; i. e., you would secure men who had passed through the
last war, instead of those who were totally inexperienced and unfit for
the great ensuing struggle. You would require the machinery of an
army ; in other words lieutenants, captains and colonels of practical
knowledge to instruct the young soldier. All well regulated military
schools furnish such officers. It is true they do not necessarily pro-
duce generals ; as a proof thereof we have but to look back upon
our own history, or to glance at the Old World, and mark the few
instances of success amid the’ many failures of kings and emperors,
with every advantage of a military education to prove themselves
competent to command a great army. Genius is a divine gift, and
is not to be taught, but expanded by cultivation and experience.
. You would, however, if thrown into the field secure beside the vete-
ran soldier the young man who had received military instruction,
in order to assist in the work of organization.
But in 1861 and 1862 some of our political leaders, backed by
daily and weekly journals, proclaimed that we wanted no such aid,
but merely to know where the enemy lie, that we might go forth
and destroy. With the haughty pride of the old Florentines, they,
too, would have marched to the sound of their “ Martinella,” and
have rung it day and night to give due warning of their coming.
Some—even men of large intellect—took the ground that.the army
of a great republic should be as easy to get out of as to get into;
i. e., we should have the right to go to our homes at pleasure, and:
return to the ranks at the approach of the enemy. And so strongly
at one time were these views upheld that I almost regretted 1 had
been educated a soldier. Soon, however, the bullets began to
whistle, and our politicians exchanged their swords and muskets
for seats within the halls of Congress—an assembly upon which
your eyes were often fixed with pain and mortification—an assembly
whose record will show so much of evil and so little of good, in
which passion ruled in lieu of sober judgment—an assembly con-
trolled by men whose talents had been used more to destroy than
build up governments. Its leaders, supported by a few penny-a-
liners, within and without Richmond, applied their whole energies
toward throtling those in authority, seemingly devoid of all idea of
that co-operation so essential in time of war. On the other hand,

it should be remembered, there was hardly a soldier in the army of
Northern Virginia who did not know and feel that our only hope of
success was in sustaining the government; that to wrangle in Con-
gress was to cripple our efforts; that a change in the chief magistracy
at such an hour, meant interior revolution, and with it certain
defeat. Yet such change was boldly attempted. Among the mem-
bers of this Congress, however, were noble exceptions ; men who were
equal to every sacrifice, who would have done honor to the Roman
Senate in its proudest days of wisdom and patriotism. But as a
national assembly no historian can overestimate the grave misfortune
it proved to the Southern Confederacy.
From this Congress the poison of dissention and demoralization,
which is so easily distributed, soon found its way to every quarter
of our beautiful land. Governors, in some instances, stubbornly
refused to co-coperate with the administration, thus gnawing at our
very vitals. Rarely did they visit Richmond save for the purpose
of fault-finding, and complaining that they had been required to
furnish more men or money than another State. Deserters were but
seldom returned to the ranks ; they had but little to fear from civil
officers of State, and could, therefore, without much difficulty, evade
the military authorities. Many planters and farmers became luke-
warm, and began to dream of the flesh pots they had once enjoyed.
They were led to believe that if the war should cease, they would
be left in peaceful possession of their slaves; that the worst that
could befall them would be gradual emancipation. They were so
shortsighted as to be totally insensible to the almost universal expe-
rience of nations that the conqueror never fails to exact all if not
more, than he has fought for. The North had : given battle for the
freedom of the negro, and the independence of the Southern Con-
federacy was the only means to avoid the immediate abolition of
slavery, and at the same time a long day and yight of degradation.
But we were seduced by false ideas, and were led to expect con-
cessious which human nature has rarely had the virtue to grant.
We slumbered beneath the soothing effect of these delusions, and,
because of the grasping love of the money invested in the slave,
failed to replenish our decimated ranks by the negro, and awakened
only at the surrender to behold our country’s shame and disaster.
Never did the illustrious Lee utter a greater truth than when he
said, “ Our people have none to blame save themselves—they do not
seem willing to make the necessary sacrifice.”

No people ever had more to fight for, and none ever lost more.
No people ever had better material to fill the ranks of an army. As
slave-owners we possessed an individuality of character and a devil-
me-care independence which peculiarly fitted us for war. And if
we search the annals of history we shall not find more fearless and
self-reliant troops than those which formed the grand old army that
stood in front of the heights of Gettysburg. Is there one of us,
my comrades, who feels not a just pride in the record of the Confede-
rate soldier, and who blushes not when he sees in print, at this day,
expressions of regret at the long continuance of the struggle, and
that after two years we did not make overtures for peace at any
sacrifice? Peace! Peace at any sacrifice two years after our boast
that one Southron was equal to ten of the enemy! Peace so soon,
when we would have forfeited the respect of our own people, incurr-
_ ed the contempt of our foes, and have been regarded by the civilized
world as indeed unworthy of independence! Away, away forever
with the thought. Thanks, a thousand times thanks, that we were
saved from this disgrace and humiliation by the ability, firmness
and patriotism of Jefferson Davis.
Although the lives of many brave and gallant men would have
been spared by an earlier close of the war, better they should lie
beneath the sod, than that their children and their generations should
be shrouded forever in dishonor. As it is, 1am proud of the high
regard held for the Confederate throughout civilization, and proud
of the length of time we continued the struggle. Moreover, I feel
that success should have been ours. We would have had every
right to expect it, had we but been true to ourselves, to our princi-
ples, to our country. Hannibal, it is said, after numerous appeals
to Carthage for additional means to prosecute the war, during his
celebrated campaign in Italy, and her refusal to comply fully with
his demands, laughed at his countrymen when they were made by
the Romans to empty their treasures, and passively gaze upon their
magnificent fleet burn to the water’s edge. Unlike this great warrior,
we should deeply sympathize with our people, and pity the blindness
to which, in so great measure, is to be attributed the failure of their
cause. We should not regard ourselves as conquered. It was the
misfortune of the South, as I have already stated, to be strangely
insensible to its fate, believing the North would prove magnanimous
and just in its dealings.
We failed to make proper use of nearly four millions of slaves;

whilst we had a population of about ten million, there were only
seven hundred and eighty-five regiments and battalions, or a little
over six hundred thousand men enrolled. The North, with a popu-
lation, at the beginning of the war, of twenty millions, brought into
the field over two millions eight hundred thousand men; showing
the gigantic number of more than two millions of men in excess of
the Confederates. We must not suppose the North had greatly the
advantage through its facilities to enlist foreign troops; the whole
number of such reinforcements did not amount to above one hun-
dred thousand.
I feel convinced, that if we had brought into the field all the able-
bodied slaves, the final result would have been far different. We
could, by emancipating the negro, have used him with greater effi-
ciency even than the enemy, as he is naturally subordinate, and we
better understand his characteristics and the manner to control him.
It is erroneous to suppose that he would have deserted our ranks, or
proved traitor in the hour of battle; freedom having already been
granted him, he would have had nothing to gain, and perhaps much
to lose. General Andrew Jackson found him a good soldier on the
plains of Chalmette. One of the largest subscribers to the defence
of New Orleans in 1862 was a colored freedman, and a regiment or
more of volunteers of that class proffered their services about the
same time. Had we adopted the plan of negro enlistments—even so
late as the critical period our beloved chief appealed for such rein-
foreements—we would never have been so narrowed down in terri-
tory, and so destitute of all necessary supplies as we found ourselves
at the close of the struggle.
Faint whispers now come to us of the despair. which pervaded the
councils of the enemy at certain epochs of the war, when, notwith-
standing our small numbers and the manifold difficulties we had to
encounter, independence was almost within our grasp. I, therefore,
reaffirm success should have been ours. Our soldiers were superior
to those of the North; in evidence thereof, let us glance at the
numbers engaged in the principal battles, as obtained from official
reports and other reliable sources. In a few instances the numbers
given are from necessity only approximate. At first Bull Run or
first Manassas, the Confederates were thirty thousand (80,000,)
against sixty thousand (60,000) Federals; in the seven days battle
around Richmond, from Gaine’s Mills to Malvern Hill, inclusive,
eighty thousand (80,000,) against one hundred and eighty thousand

against sixty thousand (60,000.) The disparity between numbers of
the conflicting armies is, it will be seen, about as great in the West
as it was in Virginia.
This collation of numbers clearly proves that in time of battle
one Confederate soldier was equal from two to three of the foe. Our
Generals likewise as a body were superior, and two of them must
rank with the most illustrious of the world. Let us recall the
immortal heroes of Greece, made familiar through poetic song; the
noble sons of Rome, so grand in council, so eminent in war;
Charlemagne and Napoleon, of once glorious France; Frederick
the Great of now proud Prussia; Von Moltke, the author and
executor of the grandest compaign on record; Marlborough and
Wellington, the pride of Old England; Washington, the father of
our Republic; and in no instance do we find surpassed the military
genius nor its rare combination with Christian virtue, which distin-
guished Robert E. Lee.
It is almost as difficult to adduce a parallel when I contemplate

the exalted character and the heroic deeds of Stonewall Jackson.
He was as bold in conception, and as unflinching in what he con-
ceived to be right, as his noble commander. It is but justice to
assume, from his brilliant operations in the Valley of Virginia,
with a comparatively small though separate command, that his
impress would have been still more distinct and his campaigns still
more signal at the head of a large army. He made extraordinarily
rapid marches, executing successfully the most difficult movements
in war; passed repeatedly to the rear of the enemy, and causing
consternation amid, his ranks, achieved marvellous results. He was
pre-eminent in this respect, that he better understood the wonderful
power of endurance of the Confederate soldier; his ability to fight
three days and nights on scanty rations, and finally at the moment
of rout, to pursue and reap the fruits as well as the honor of victory.
It was one of his distinctive characteristics as a soldier to push for-
ward after success, and perform the easy, most important and yet
seldom accomplished task during the war, of capturing, in addition
to prisoners, all the material of the enemy.
Men of different professions in life generally recognize superior
talent when brought into contact with it; and if not openly, they
secretly acknowledge it. Now it is more easily discerned in the
career of arms than any other; the trials and tests are so severe
therein as to make it more manifest. You who have served as colo-
nels of regiments, generals of brigades or divisions, have often, espe-
cially when detached and burdened with grave responsibilities, ex-
perienced that indescribable impulse during the perilous and trying
hour of battle, to turn and appeal to some one; but have wisely remain-
ed silent and acted for the best, knowing that to hesitate or waver
was likely to cause you to err and suffer consequent disaster. No
commander can ever escape at such moments these flashes through
the brain. Lee and Jackson were farther removed from doubt, in
time of fiercest conflict, than any generals with whom I have had
the honor to serve. They possessed that intuition of the true war-
rior, which makes him bold in strategy and determined in battle.
Three years of service in Virginia, and one year in the West, taught
me that a general can acquire sufficient caution by receiving hard
blows; but none can acquire boldness; it is a gift from heaven.
Were McLellan to live through forty generations he would, in wag-
ing war, build a bridge and hesitate to cross it, whilst Lee and Jack-
son would seize it, march over and capture hisarmy. ‘Their strategy

was often to the over cautious and timid mind reckless, whereas
such seeming recklessness formed part of their plans, and made com-
plete the strategic movements which produced such grand results,
and awakened the admiration of all men.
So important did they regard it to strike-when their ranks were
best filled that, in their endeavor to destroy or at least paralyze the
enemy, they would fell forests, and hew out their roads through the
wilderness. They knew that for pitched battle, or for the protection
of so large a territory as the Confederate States, twenty-five thou-
sand soldiers, made veterans by offensive war, were equal to fifty
thousand kept constantly on the defensive. When necessary to
retreat, they marched with flying colors to some designated line in
the rear, leaving behind a small force to observe and check the ad-
vance of the enemy until their troops were refreshed and made
ready again for battle. They knew that to remain in trenches, even
for a short time, was to damp the ardor of the bravest; and never
‘did they seek such protection save asa dernier resort. Bold and
desperate were the efforts of Lee to destroy Grant before the latter
could reach Petersburg ; he was well aware, and, I am informed, so
expressed himself, that in case of a siege, the holding of the capital
became only a question of time. Lee and Jackson knew not how
to retreat day after day in the face of the enemy, losing more in
stragglers than in killed and wounded, nor how to demoralize their
armies by throwing up breastworks by day, to be given up in the
stillness of night, and thus unfit their men for battle save within
well fortified lines. They knew that all troops thus handled must,
sooner or later, end by surrendering almost without a blow, as
the French army at Sedan. They appreciated the supreme neces-
sity of maintaining splendent and spotless the morale of an army
which, sensitive as the tenderest plant, is to be guarded like the
virtue of woman; with one breath of evil ’tis sullied forever, the
soldier accustomed to retreat comprehends not the feeling that per-
vades such troops as those commanded by these two great gencral’s ;
he cannot conceive or appreciate that fixed faith in victory so uni-
versal and so necessary, from the lowest to the highest in rank, re-
sulting from that strategy united with boldness and tempered with
sufficient caution, which has indellibly inscribed upon the memory
of all nations, for all time, the names of Lee and Jackson.
The more I contemplate their wonderful operations, the more
deeply am I impressed ; and the farther I am removed, by time and

its events from their noble presence, the bolder the relief in which
stand forth their immortal characters. I feel, my countrymen, as
one no more to be aroused by the sound of the bugle; with no desire
to take aught from one to give unto another; I seek only to do jus-
tice, to fulfill my allotted duties in life, and make ready for the final
summons. Therefore, whilst I would render just tribute to the
merits and deeds of other distinguished officers of the Confederate
army, I believe that if by any device, all the military genius of the
revolution could be concentrated into two men, there would not be
produced a Robert E. Lee and a Stonewall Jackson.
But those days that gave birth to such undying fame and glory
are no.more. We must, my comrades, turn from the past, and
meet with courage the mighty issues of the present and the future.
The Southern people have proclaimed their acquiescence in the abo-
lition of slavery forever, whilst raising their voice in earnest protest
against negro supremacy; they have expressed their willingness,
notwithstanding the great wrongs which. have been inflicted upon
them through the mistaken and unfortunate policy adopted by the
general government, to bring back the ship of State to its ancient
mooring. It is evident to the unbiased mind, that if the country is
not restored to harmony and prosperity, it will not be the fault of
the South. It is, however, to be feared that such restoration cannot
be consummated. Whilst prominent leaders of the North may strive
faithfully for this end, the people of New England, governed more
by bitterness of feeling toward the former master than by love for
the negro, will stand as the stumbling-block. With a majority of
Americans favoring peace and good-will to all, there will be a strong
minority constantly probing the wound and arousing old enmities.
Let us, nevertheless, welcome reconciliation upon a fair basis, for the
sake of humanity and all that is dear to us, but remain steadfast to
principle. Let us cherish Lee, the soldier, and Lee, the citizen, as
an example worthy of noblest emulation : engrave within our hearts
and minds the word Duty, so closely welded into the life and char-
acter of the great Virginian ; obey the law, and make as good citi-
zens as we prowed soldiers; be unwilling to sacrifice self-respect or
stoop to dishonor; frown upon all such organizations—if they in-
deed exist—as that of Ku-Klux ; encourage the education of the black
man, wean him from those who would instil into his mind distrust
and resentment, and make him our friend—for he has become an
element of power, and we can ill afford to foster such an enemy in

our midst—and the freedman, if properly managed, will become
more valuable even than when a slave. Let us raise our manufac-
tories upon every stream, and our school-houses upon every height.
Let us teach the children of the brave men who fought and fell
in defence of their homes what their fathers did; teach them that
through mistake we occupy our present position, that we we are not
conquered ; teach them all this for the sake of truth, manhood and
the future, and that sons may arise worthy of their sires.
And you, men of South Carolina, desert not, for more peaceful
and prosperous homes, your native State, in this her hour of supreme
trial and agony; stand by her, and protect the widow and the
orphan of your brother soldier. ° Remember that, constrained by
poverty, they cannot always seek refuge elsewhere. A brighter day
will break ere long if the South will but remain united and patiently
work out its own redemption ; our beloved land, now so sparcely in-
habited and so wofully devastated, will quicken into new life, grow
unto greater power than in the past, and attract, by the beauty of
its hills and the richness of its valleys, the enterprising from every
clime. The great questions of race and labor will adjust themselves,
howsoever obscure and perplexing they may seem at present to our
human understanding.
History, “the foot-prints of God upon carth,” is not the work
purely of man. The Almighty King of kings controls and shapes
the destinies of nations; and if, as a people, we seek to follw His
word and truth, remembering that “the end of man is an action
and not a thought,” that ‘will is the measure of power,” He will
bless our efforts with prosperity, and bring unto us once more, Hope,
Joy and Peace.
At the conclusion of General Hood’s address, which was frequently
interrupted by bursts of applause, the assemblage retired, and the
members of the Association adjourned to the banquet hall, where
the celebration of the day was closed in convivial enjoyment.
