ItXEItXOKIAL Address Delivered by John J. Wick ham In the Presbyterian Church) In Beaver on Decoration Day. Ladies and Gentlemen —The fra grant and beautiful Offerings, which we to-day strew upon the last resting places of our heroic dead, speak more eloquent ly than can tongue or pen of our deep and heartfelt remembrance of their self sacrificing patriotism; and were il not customary to add the tribute of words to these expressive token- flowers—so em blematical of life, so suggestive of death— I should have considered it a duty to de dine the invitation to address you, ten dered by the gentleman in charge of the ceremonies. Let us briefly consider the nature of the feelings and motives which have prompted us, to forego, for the time, our ordinary avocations, and assemble to gether regardless of age, or sex, or ere d, or party, to engage in the pleasant yet mournful occupation of decorating the graves of our fellow citizens who fell in the late great civil war. Is it because the ties of blood or friendship bound us more closely to these dead men than to others of our friends and kindred, who likewise have gone down to the chambers of death, that we thus distinguish them? Nay, this cannot be so, for we place our garlands, not only on the tombs of those we knew and loved while living, but as well on every mound that is marked as the place where a soldier, though a stranger and unknown, is sepulchered. Do we come together then to publicly deplore the untimely death of so many brave .men, most of them -io--4l*&--c*rHestr flash of manhood, and hone past the prime of their mental and physical vigor? Not so, good friends,; for although the feeling of sorrow, naturally aroused by such a consideration, finds its proper place in our bosoms, it alone would never have brought us here. Death, we know, stays not to count the years of his vie liras, but claims both old and young, and the brooding wings of peace afford them no protection. And to him who thinks aright—who attempts to compare the infinitely brief period of duration cov ered by any mortal existence with the long ages of time, or the countless cycles of eternity, no life can seem long and no death permature. Are we here then to lament the manner in which these men died, or to mourn because, to so many of them, death came, like the stroke, without aught of warn ing or premonition ? I.trow not; for as the poet says, ‘•There are worse ways of dying than falling on field remote. Love of home in one’s bosom, and a sabre thrust in one’s throat.” And some there are who, with that phi losophy which springs from reflecting upon their mortality, count it no evil to fall “where death’s brief pang coiftes quickest.’' Besides this, observation teaches us, that howsoever or wneres' * ever men perish, whether in the ways we call natural, in the battle’s wild din, or on the ocean’s storm tossed bosom. • death is rarely an expected visitor. We to regard the manifold ills, and 1 diseases, and sufferings, that attend bu ! inanity, rather as the necessary incidents j of life, than as the precursors of dissolu tion. And so the footsteps of death are j silent as they are pitiless, and no ono knows when or how he shall be summon- ed from hi? pi ice among men. But per haps some one listening to these words may answer, ‘‘we are here to show our admiratian for the fortitude and courage exhibited bvi our s ellers on the field of biltle." Courage :s, without doubt, in itself a grand quality, and we cannot wonder, that it has, in all ages, and among all nations, commanded universal respect; but, in our day, it is uot deemed worthy of any very special or extraordi nary commendation unless consecrated to noble aims and purposes. War, which was once the pastille and the business of nations, is now universally regarded as an evil and only justifiable under very peculiar circumstances. It can hardly be, therefore, that the B simple quality of bra. very, to whatever extent possessed and. exhibited by these dead warriors, could evwke such an ovation as this. Ab, my friends, this outpouring has a higher im port, a deeper and nobler significance than any I yet have indicated. We meet to show by our words and acts, that the virtue of gratitude is neither dead nor slumbering in our bosoms, —to testify, ;hat, dc ‘P down in our hearts, we guard, ili^PißliENN’A^ >ith jealous care* a reverence for patri jPtip daring—a lofty appreciation of the beauty and the gloryuf self sacrifice. We tueott POt to celebrate or commemorate btttm fought or yictorlea won, and least Ofa&V> a|iyarsectional^ hateaud the leaving the; homes they gladdened, the familiar scenes of their birth, and the pleasant fields where their boyhood’s footsteps strayed, went forth to defend their country in the hour of her danger and humiliation, and cheerfully yielded up their Uvea to secure her salvation. Many of them tell in act ual combat, some came back to their homes and friends maimed and dying, others returned bearing within them the seeds of incurable disease which in the end proved as fatal as bayonet or ball. Some achieved rank add station in the nation’s armies, others, perhaps equally deserving, equally capable, equally fearless and conscientious in the discharge of duty, heard no summons to “come up higher” until the angel ot death called them to partake of that reward, which, we are faught to hope, awaits the true soul hereafter. And to these latter, we fain would think, eternity will prove a better paymaster- than time has been, for else indeed eternal justice might well be doubted. But to-day we inquire not what place or position any one of these men whose tombs we decorate, held in the country’s service. The petty grada tions of rank are ignored or-forgotten; the grave knows no distinction; officer and private lie side by side, their dust commingling with its kindred dust Enoiigh\for us, that each has given the Spartan I proof of patriotic devotion; enough/for us, that each little mound marks the resting place of a soldie^ life w*a offered as a willing sacr the altar of national unity. Although this is a fit time au for the purpose vices of the heroic men, living and dead, ,[ whose valor and self sacrifice saved our j country from disruption. Their just I praises have been so often and ably ex | pressed by more eloquent tongues than ! mine, that whatever I might utter on the 1 subject would seem trite and common j place. Perhaps, however, I might here t hazard the remark, that we are sometimes 1 100 apt to glorify the leaders of our armies I at the expense of the private soldiery, f 1 opine, that when the true history of the 1 war comes to be written, it will be seen ! that more battles were won by sheer hard fightin than by strategy or tactics. And tli: - may be said without derogating from the just praise of our generals. Sherman, pushing his invincible col umns through Georgia to the sea; Thomas, wise in all his plans, and in their execu tion as inevitable as fate itself; Sheridan, sweeping with his legions up the She nandoah valley, and stamping with his charger’s iron hoof on the plastic tablets of the limes the record of his fame ; Grant, persistent and irresistible, these, and others of equal or less celebrity, well di serve the admiration they receive from the present age, and the reverence which will be awarded them by future genera tions. But we must not reserve for oc casions like the present, the just consid eration due to the men who bore the haversack and musket. We must not, in our every day thoughts and conversations, too far subordinate the men who, without prospect of glory or profit to stimulate them in the long midnight watches,walked their death flanked beats on the banks of the frozen Potomac; the men who, beneath thehmrden of their heavy equip ments, tramped, with patient hearts and weary feet, over Virginia’s inhospitable soil, ever keeping their bodies as living bulwarks between their country’s capital and the rebellious foe ; the men who pre ceded, not followed, brave Joe Hooker up old Lookout’s rugged brow, and stood be fore Rosecrantz beneath the murky clouds which from heaven’s pitying sight the awful mysteries of bloody Chicka mauga. These were the private soldiers. Always poorly paid, often badly clothed and fed, they marched even to certain death itself without complaint or murmur. JLZnti/them be all praise and honor. Well may these soldiers’ orphans who are with us to-day feel proud of their sires ; and to whatever o! gratitude they euter lain towards the Commonwealth which so kindly cares for and educates them, they may properly unite the reflection, thrt all this kindness and care are but in repayment of a debt the country owes their fathers. It is fitting, that, on an nccasi m like the i present,we should consider how the patri -1 otic spirit,which actuated these hemic men ( may best be cuHvated and perpetuated. , That our country will ever again be called ' upon to pass through an intestine strug- Ktbechwa^r Tjunemsts. tn&SQitude &Qd character to fcye'tw* • recently witnessed* is te, neyerthetess the need of be. eyen greater thaiujheretpfp^ •reralent in .high placep.the t pf demagiogue -4 BP f eM P* P«r thediyersities of business in-: hot, to mention political diffcr i >yernment.lt is true there are ijSUences working in-our behalf. * jllUies, by bringing the people ntimate contact, wtll do much, ).copflicting intereals, opinions ls potent of the, ike varied riniefeats of men. ■pad laid down, every telegraph pr postal route established, ,|Ser ; i° the.' many which nation, and furnishes another m: of ,the advantages of union, his, thg. yery. practtesl spirit of S r enahltog themi is it does, to \nd the splistahtisl jgoyerpnwnt, gives unltj*.

Washington, D. C., June 3, 1873. As was to have been expected an at tempt is being haade by certain worn out political backs to get control farm ers’ paovement. Men whni have failed to •get themselves elevated to the offices.they coveted through theeXisitirig political or ganizations are now trying to persuade the 'farmers that they are earnestly io sympathy v with them. The disguise is rather thin, and as a general rule our ag ricultural people are not so obtuse but that they can perceive the'sighificancG o f ■such professions coming .from such men. Our farmers ought, to use an old simile, to bp able to **aee as far Into the mill stone as theman who picks and when a professional politician is brought for ward for their suffrage they ought to take the trouble to inquire" Into bis antece dents* If this movement is permitted to fall luto the : haudsofthal class of men Who devour thbmselyes to pdiitics for a | £>’ ' 1 -Htr JBvaey-| .not' men of this country to inaugurate amovil-- ment for bettering their condition has been frustrated by this means. Univer. sally they are sold oat. Such has also been the fate of all temperance movc- I meets. There can be no doubt but that i a large majority of our voters are sober, thinking men, opposed, on principle, to whiskey rings and bar-room caucuses. But they never succeed in affecting a combination that w ill destroy or check the evil effects of intemperance. Indeed, it is doubtful tf anything at all has been accomplished in this direction. The cause of their failure can be traced directly to the fact that they permit politicians to hoodwink them. Three-fourths of our voters are laboring men, men who earn their bread by the sweat of their faces, jbut all labor reforms h ive c ime to n mgiii. Never was there a greater farce than that perpetrated at Columbus, Ohio, last year, by a squad of politicians professing to represent the working in on of the coun try, when they met in Convention and nominated for the Presidency. Justice Davis, of the United States Supreme Court, a millionaire, who had amassed his wealth by speculation of the most open kind, who had never done a “lick of work” in his life ,whose labors had nev er brought him a tithe of the goods and lands he called his own. If the farmers expect to accomplish any satisfactory re sults they must steer clear of this rock, upon which so many previous reforms, having their origin with the people, have foundered. It has come to light that Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, oi Indiana, and several other recognized leaders of the Democrat ic parly, have been laying a nice little plan for getting control of the farmers’ movement in the interests of the Democ racy. The details of their plan will, of course, be kept as quiet as possible, but, however they may word their language, their intention is to gain the confidence ot the agricultural classes and thereby act themselves recognized as leaders. O ‘ The fat offices will follow as a matter of course. Now, be he Democrat or be he Repub lican, no played-out political hack, no chronic office-seeker, no professional poli tician should be trusted by the farmers. A disposition to trust no one but farmers must be deprecated, as it serves to draw hues, to make distinctions. If the farmers should undertake to separate themselves as a class from all other popple, of other trades and professions, such an act would be tantamount to inviting the opposition ot all other classes, and this they cannot afford to do. And - more than that, it is something they should not do, even if they could afford it. They should wel come every honest rain to their ranks, whatever be his business or profession, if it be honorable. But the man who fal.'^ 't .*;> in with them far the sake of gain, for the - \ sake of getting office,-is not an honest man, bis occnpaUon iF not an honorable one, and he should be left severely alone. There are plenty of farmers and others Who havea reql interest in iM m?pemtnt to take hold of and manage it.- The re is no * heed <£/these trices of ; the poli *ica I la trignerV If cspse' Is a good one there is no.necessity for any intriguers and wire-workers.atall. Honest work can be done by honest then, and *ny : kind of work will be done best by meh whose “hearts are in the work.”! . ’ The report that reached here some days ago that General Davis had decided to employ the recently surrendered Warriors, as scouts to hunt down,Captain Jack and the rest of the band who continue lor join their fortunes with his has been con-; firmed. Not only did heasend them out armed and provisiond, but he went with them, and notwithstaneing the many pro* dictions as to bis safety, be and his party have returned to camp without harm. It is true they were not successful in discov ering the whereabouts of the redoubtable Jack, but enough is known to show that bis confidence in these savages was not misplaced. Another party of these Mo docs sent out by General on an independent scout is expected 'to return in the course of a day -or two. f . Of course this disposes of the question as to what we will do with those warriors who gave themselves up. At any rate, they will hot be hanged, shot, or drawn' and many hoped they would be. According to universal fcustom when a criminal tups State’s evidence he is spared. No less can consistantly be done in the case of these who go si ill farther , and assist in huntiug out tne ; . remaining, criminals who have not surrendered. The course adopted by General- Davis ih ' being sharply criticised by the advocates' ,of the extermination policy., When it wvaa fipt rumored that he had armed the; jpripusHooker Jim and. Boston Cbar credulity was manlfesledT Tbur correl pondenl was ridiculed for putting the least faith in the rumor. “Why !” -it was said, “General Davis has too much sense, he knows too much of the Indian charac ter, to ever trust, them with ganS in their hands.” Dal he did, it seems, trust them with arms, and he went evea so far as lo trust his own life in their hands, and his trust has not been misplaced. The Mo docs are ignorant heathen savages, it is trqe, but they were not such silly fools but that they were able to preceive they had everything to gain and nothing to lose by acting in good faith. They knew if they played the while man false this time their own heads wen; sure to an swer for their treachery. They knew If they acted honorably in the matter they would be lt is not that they love the pale-face more, but that they have less respect tor Captain Jack now than before he got them into this trouble. After all is said, Captain Jack is the re ally responsible party in this affai|. He it was who planned and concocted the atrocious-murder. He it was who gave the signal for the massacre. He it was who, with his own hands, assassinated General Canby. The rest were mere sol diers acting under his orders, and in all other cases wc are ready to excuse the sol diery for the part they lake, an'd fasten the responsibility on the commanders who make the orders. We do not blame the privates who stood guard over our men at Anderson vilie to the same exlext the.t we blame the officers who placed them there and gave them their uruers. We say they were not the responsible parties. Upon the same principle and for the very same reason we should not condemn the men who executed the orders of the Mo doc chief as we condemn Captain Jack, who gave the orders. In my last letter I spoke of Marshal MacMahon, the newly elected President of France, as the officer who surrendered the French army at Metz. This I without taking the trouble to refer to tha history of the affair. Had I reflected a moment I would have remembered that it was Marshal Bazaine who c nnmanJed at that place and who was tried for treason. Marshal MacMahon was with Napoleon at Sedan, and was wounded at that bailie. However, the mistake as to the tacts does not affect the estimate that should be put upon the man. He is no less a conserva tive, no less an aristocrat and a supporter of monarchical institutions. It was a sad day for France when MacMahon was sub stituted for Thiers. Bat there is still grounds for hope.
