"The purpose for which you gathered yourselves into an asso- ciation (186(5) is of the holiest. It was to take care of the memories of your dead comrades, and to provide for the relief of their widows and orphans. Whatever you forget, you cannot forget these things. 1 hiit is a surrender no true man would ask. It is a surrender no true man would make, for he could not make it without infamy. "Your dead comrades! How saert'd the tie tliat binds you to their memory. Side by side you have toiled with them on the weary march night and day,' in summer's heat and winter's snows. Side by side you have stood with them on the crimson field where battle raged and death gatherrd in his harvest of the brave. You are the witnesses of their constancy and valor; you are the sponsors for their good names. In obedience to a senti- ment of honor and the cidl of duty and in pledge of their sin- cerity, they made the last human sacrifice— ///e// laid tlotnt their lives". Of the three companies that bore your name one hun- dred and fourteen sold ier.s died in battle, in hospital, or on the wearv wayside. Ofiicers and men, they were of the very flower of this ancient city, her young hope and fair renown. W hat a story does that record telfof co^istancy, of faithfulness to duty.

What worlds of all this world's distress. What utter woe, desjiair and dearth. Their fate has broucht to many a lu>artli." hi "Were not these men lionest aiul true? By a iliousand tokens we know tliat they were! And in after days or years, when the hlindinji; passions and prejudices of the war have passed away, and a calmer reason and fairer ap})reciation of motives and con- duct have taken phice, the stranger who passes through the leafy streets of yonder City of the Dead and looks upon the con- secrated spot, God's acre, where lie the bodies of thousands of our soldiers gathered from the battlefields of many States, and arrayed in order and marked each with a marble headstone bearing his name and the number of his regiment; and passing still further on, shall lift up his eyes to the monument which you with pious hands have reared to the memories of your own dear dead comrades — he happily musing upon the political influ- ences and principles under which these men were reared, and yielding to the instincts and pleailings of a generous humanity swelling at his heart, will exclaim in ihe tones of tiiat pity which is akin alike to justice and to love — for what is it but great nature's voice: 'It is true! It is true! These men were honest as thev were brave.' Soldiers, rest! For you no more the bugle here on earth shall sound reveille! You have waked to another morn in a brighter Realm, and the burden of your song is: 'On earth, peace, good will towards men!'" — From Ex-Capt. Hon. W. I). Porter's Address. '2J(I February. 187S.
