We can safely predict, however, those who will come from the near and distant regions of our country and who will themselves make part of tbe national -exhibit. We shall see the descendants of the loyal Cav aliers or Virginia; or the Piltrrim Fathers of if e w England; of the sturdy Hollanders who, in 1621, bought the 22 0 0 acres or the Island of Manhattan for the sum of $24; of the ad herent, or the old Christian faith who fonnd a resting place in Baltimore: of the Quakers and Palatine Germans who settled in Penn sylvania and New Jersey: of the Huguenots w ho fled from the, revocation or the edict of Nantes to the banks of the Hudson in the North, and those of the Cooper and Ashley rivets in the South; of the refugees from Salesfcurs, In Georgia, and of Charles Ed ward's Highlanders in North Carolina. With them also we shall have in person, or in their sons, the thousands or others from many climes, who, with moderate fortunes, have joined their future to that of the great republic, or who with sinewy arms have opened our waterways and build our iron ways. Mr. President. In the name or the Govern ment or the United States I hereby dedicate these buildings and appurtenances In tended br the Coneress 01 the United States for the use of the World's Columbian Expo sition, to the world's progress in art, science, in agriculture and in manufactures. I dedi cate them to humanity. God save the United States of America. Watterson the Orator of the Day. Then came tbe first principal oration of the dav. It was pronounced of Hon. Henry Watterson, who consented to fill the vacancy caused by the declination of Con gressman Breckenridge, also of Kentucky. After a review of tbe great event four centuries ago, which the World's Fair is designated to commemorate, Mr. Watterson said: We are met this day to honor the memory of Christopher Columbus, to celebiate the four-hundredth annu.il return of the year nf his transcendant achievement, and, with fitting rites, to dedicate to America and the universe a concrete exposition of the world's progress between 1492 and 1892. No SO centuries can be compared with those four centuries, either in Importance or in interest, as no previous ceremonial can be compared with this in its wide significance and reach; because, since tbe advent of the Son of God. no event has had bo great an influence upon human affairs as the discovery of the Western Hemisphere. We are a plain, practical people. We are a race or inventors and workers, not of poets and artists. We have led the world's movements, not its thoughts. Our deeds are to be found not upon trescoed walls, or in ample libraries, but in the machine shop, where the spindles sing and the looms thunder: on the open plain, where the steam plow, the reaper and the mower con tend with one another in friendly war against tbe obduracies of nature; in tbe magic or electricity as it penetrates the darkest caverns with its irresistible power and light. Let us consider ourselves and our conditions, as far as we are able, with a candor untlnged by cynicism, and a confi dence having no air of assurance. A better opportunity could not be desired for a study of our peculiarities than is fur nished by the present moment. A Southern Flea for a Free Ballot. We are in the midst of the quadrennial period established for the selection of a Chief Magistrate. Each citizen has his right of choice, each has his right to vote and to have his vote freely cast and fairly counted. Wherever this right is assailed for any cause wrong is. done and evil mest follow, first to the whole country, which has an in terest in all its parts, but most to the com munity immediately involved, which must actually drink of the cup that has contained tbe poison, and dannot escape its infection. The abridgement or the right of suffrage, however. Is very nearly proportioned to the Ignorance or Indifference ot the parties con cerned by it, and, there is good reason to hope that, with tbe expanding intelligence ui me muses ana tue growing eniignten ment of the times, this particular form of corruption in eleoilons will he reduced be low the danger-line. To that end, as to all other good ends, tbe moderation or public sentiment must ever be our chief reliance: for when men are forced by the general desire for truth, and the light which our modern vehicles of In formation throw upon truth, to discuss public questions for truth's sake, when it becomes tbe plain Interest of public men, as it is their plain duty, to do this, and when, above all, friends and neighbors cease to love one another less because of individual differences of opinion about public affairs, the struggle for unfair advantage will be relegated to those who have either no char acter to lose or none to seek. It Is admitted on all sides that the current Presldental campaign is freer from excite ment and tumult than was ever known be fore, and it is argued from this circumstance that we are traversing the epoch of the commonplace, ir this be so, thank God for HI We have had fnll enough of the dramatic and sensational, aud need a season of medi ocrity and repose. But may we not ascribe the rational av In which tbe neonle ara going about their business to larger knowl edge and expenenoe and a fairer spirit than have htiberto marked onr party con tentions; The Philosophy or Party Spirit. Parties are as essential to free government as oxygen to the atmosphere, or snnshine to vegetation. And party spirit Is inseparable from party organism. To the extent that it is tempered by good sense and good feeling, by love of country and integrity or purpose, it is a supreme virtue; and there should be no gag short of a decent regard for the sensi bilities of others pnt upon its freedom and plainness of utterance. Otherwise, tbe limpid pool of Democracy would stagnate, and we should have a Bepubllo only in name. But we should never cease to be admonished by the warning words or the Father of bis Country against the excess ot party spirit, re-enforced as they are by the xperienoeof a century of party warfare: a warfare happily culminatinsr in the mm. plete triumph of American principles, bnt Jtvuguir wmaj utiv uunvtuijrBMi w in r - - - T annibilatlon or all that was great and noblft in the national life. - Sursum Corda. We have In our own time seen the Bepubllo survive an irrepressible conflict sown in the Wood and marrow of the social order. We have seen tha Fedai-tt seo- faith renewed, its credit Sn-JriTi'S it flnsi.,rrt -iv -.-rehabilitated and 60000.000 or r ..t4';0 nd noniage By Sorour'-' -rod-fearing men and fcumaa, luuroiu f reConcIi8i antt homogHnedot. ' -. nave seen the federal constitution out iau tbe strain, not merely ot a reconstruct tory ordeal and a Presidental lmpeaohmetUi but a disputed count or the electoral Vote) a Congressional deadlock and an extra con stitutional tribunal, yet standing firm against the assanlts or Its enemies while yielding Itself With admirable flexibility to the needs of the country and the time. And, Anally, we saw the gigantic rabrlo or the federal Government transferred from hands that bad held it a quarter of a century to other hands without a protest, although bo close was tbe poll in the final count that a single blanket might . have covered both contestants for the chler magisterial office. With such a record behind us, who shall be afraid or the future! Onr Earthly Fetters Burst Asunder, Tbe curse of slavery Is gone. It was & joint heritage of woe, to be wiped Out and expiated in blood and Same, Tbe mirage or the Confederacy has vanished. It -was es sentially bucolic, a Vision of Arcadie, the dream of a most attractive economic fal lacy. Tbe Constitution is no longer a rope Of sand. The exact relation of the States to tbe Federal Government, left open to double construction by the authors of our organic being, because they couid not agree among themselves, and union was the para mount object, has been clearly and defin itely fixed by the three last amendments to the original chart, which constitute the real treaty ot peace between the North and the South, and seal our bonds as a nation for ever. The Bepubllo represents at last tbe letter and the spirit of the sublime Declaration. The fetters that bound her to the earth are hurst asunder. The rags that degraded her beauty are cast aside. Like the enchanted Princess in tbe legend, clad in spotless rai ment, and wearing a crown of living light, she steps in the perfection of her maturity upon the scene of this, the latest and proud est of ber victories to bid a welcome to the world! Need I nursue the themet This vast as semblage speaks with a resonance and meaning which words can never reach. It speaks from the fields that are blessed by the never falling waters of tbe Eennebeo and from the farms that sprinkle the valley of the Connecticut with mimic principalities more potent and lasting than the real; it speaks in the whirr or the mills or Pennsyl vania and in tbe ring of tbe wood-cutter's ax from the forests of tbe lake peninsulas; it speaks from the great plantations of the South and West, teeming with staples that insure us wealth and power and stability. There is no geography in American man hood. There aie no sections to American fraternity. It needs bnt six weeks to change a Vermonter into Texan, and there never has been a time when upon the battlefield, or the frontier, Puritan and Cavalier were not convertible terms, having in the begin ning a common origin, and so diffused and diluted on American soil as no loneer to possess a local habitation, or a nativity, ex cept in the national unit. All Nationalities Are Welcomed. After welcoming tbe people of all climes to our shores, the orator closed as follows: At this moment in every part of the American Union the children are taking up the wonderous tale of the discovery, and from Boston to Galveston, from tbe little log schoolnouse in the wilderness to the tower ing academy in the city and town, may be witnessed the unprecedented spectacle of a Sowerfcl nation captured by an army of illiputlans, of embryo men and women, of topling boys and girls, and tiny elves scarce big enough to lisp the numbers of tbe na tional anthem; scarce strong enough to lift the miniature flags that make of arid street and autumn Bood an emblematlo garden to gladden tbe sight and to glorify the red, white and bine. See Oar young barbarians all at play, for better than these we have nothing to ex hibit. They, iudeed, are our crown jewels; tbe truest, though the Inevitable, offsprings of our civilization and development; tbe representatives of a manhood vitalized and invigorated by toil and care, of a woman hood elevated and inspired by liberty and education. God bless the children and their mothers! God bless our country's flag! And Mayor WaiKbunu. God be with us now and ever, God in the roof-tree's shade and God on tbe highway, God in the winds and waves, and God in all our hearts! The two patriotic airs, "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Hail Colombia," were inter spersed between Wstterson's address and the other great speech of tbe day, the Co lumbian oration by Channcey Depew. Depew on the Emancipation of Kan. "This dav belongs not to America, but to the world, began the orator. "The results of the event It commemorates are the her itage of the peoples of every race and clime. We celebrate the emancipation of man. The preparation was the work of almost countless centuries, the realization was the revelation of one. The Cross on Calvary was hope; the cross raised on San Salvador was opportunity. But for the first, Colum bus would never have sailed, but for the second, there would have been no place for the planting, the nurture and the expansion of civil and religions liberty." After draw ing a dark picture of the state of society in the Middle' Ages, Mr. Depew continued: Civil and religions freedom are founded upon the individual and his independence, his worth, his rich ts and his equal status and opportunity. For his planting and develop ment, a new land must be found, where with limitless areas for expansion, the avennes or Srogress would have no bars of onstom or eredlty, of social orders or privileged classes. The time had oome for the emanci pation of tbe mind and soul of humanity. The factors wanting for its fulfillment -were the new world and its dlsooverer. God always bas in training some command ing genius for the control of great orlses in tbe affairs or nations and peoples. The number or these leaders is less than the centuries, bnt their lives are tbe history of hnman progress. Neither realism nor ro mance furnishes a more striking and pic turesque figure than that of Christopher Columbus. The mystery about his origin heightens the charm of his story. Thathe came from among the toilers or his time is in harmony with tbe struggles of onr period. Then followed a sketch of Columbus' struggles and the era of exploration which followed his discovery. He proceeded: A Unique Struggle for Liberty. Platforms of principles, by petition, or protest, or statement, have been as frequent as revolts against established authority. They are part of the political literature of all nations. The Declaration of Iedenend- net proelalmesl at PlUlMatpWa, Jaly , J -41SP 1776, Is the only one of them whioh arrested the attention of the world when It was pub lished, and has held its undivided Interest ever since. The vocabulary of the equality of man had been In familiar use by philoso phers and statesmen,for ages. It expressed noble sentiments, bat tbelr application was limited to classes or conditions. Tbe masses cared little for them nor remembered them long. Jefferson's superb crystallization of tbe popular opinion, that "all men are Created equaU that they are endowed By Chauncty Depot their Creator with oertaln Inalienable rights, that among these are' lite, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," had its force and effect in being the deliberate utterance of the people. It swept away in a single sentence kings and nobles, peers and pre lates. It was Magna Cbarta and tbe peti tion of rights planted in the virgin soil of the American wilderness, and bearing richer and riper fruit. From the first century to the fifteenth counts for little in the history or progress, bnt In the period between the fifteenth and the twentieth is crowded tbe tomance and reality of human development. Life has been prolonged, and Its enjoyment lntensl fled. Tbe powers of the air and the water, the resistless forces of the elements, whioh In the time of the discoverer were tbe visi ble terrors of tbe wrath of God, have been subdued to tbe service of man, Alt ball, Columbus, discoverer, dreamer, hero and apostle. We here, of every raoe and country, recognise the horizon which bounded his vision and the infinite scope of his genius. The voice of gratitude and praise for all tbe blossings which bave been Showered upon mankind by his adventure is limited to no language, baf is uttered in every tongue. Neither marble nor brass can fitly form his statue. Continents are his monument, and unnumbered millions, post, present, and to come, who enjoy in their liberties and their happiness the fruits of his faith, will reverently guard and pre serve, from century to century, his name ana mine. Cardinal Gibbons' Eloquent Invocation. Cardinal Gibbons' prayer closed as fol lows: Grant, O Lord, that this pacific reunion of the world's representatives may be lnstru mental In bringing together in closer ties of friendship and brotherly love, all the em pires and commonwealths of the globe. May ft help to break down the wall of dissension and jealousy that divides raoe from raoe.na tion from nation, and people from people by proclaiming the sublime lesson or the iather- Cardinal GSVboni. hooa or God and the brotherhood of Christ. May the good will and fellowship which will be fostered in this hospitable city among the delegates of the Powers, be extended to the governments which they will represent. May the family of nations become so closely identified in their Interests by social and commercial relations, that when one nation Is visited by any public calamity, all the others wllloe aroused to sympathy, and be ready, if necessary, to stretch out a helping hand to the suffering members. Finally, we pray that under Thy superin tending Providence, that "reacheth from end to end mightily; and ordereth all things sweetly," this Columbian Exposition, like the voyage of Columbus, may result in ac complishing a divine as well as a humin mission. May it exert a wholesome Influ ence on the moral and religious, as well as on the social and material, world. Slay It promote the glory or God, as well as the fieace and temporal prosperity of man. May t redound to the development or Christian faith and Christian principles, and may the Queen of Commerce, in her triumphant prozress throughout the world, be. at the same time, the handmaid of religion and of Christian civilization to the nations of the earth. Music, a salute of guns and a benediction by Bev. H. a McCook, of Philadelphia, closed the exercises of the afternoon. The Events After Nightfall. The brightest point perhaps of the galaxy of World's Fair celebrations was that at the Auditorium when the Columbian congresses, the purely intellectual part of the Expo sition, were inaugurated by Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul. While the orator was an Archbishop of the faith of Borne, the benediction was spoken by probably the foremost Western representative of the Evangelioiim, Dr. William B. Harper, President ot the new University of Chicago. Not less a remark able index was the circumstance that two of the addresses were by women, who, it must be said, proved themselves worthy peers ot those or the sterner sex wno came Detore and after Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. Charles Henrotin. Dr. Barrows, in his invocation, prayed for the rulers of other nations, mentioning a number specifically including "The mon archs who represent the faith of Islam," and concluding with these words: May the movement which we inaugurate to-night hasten the time when liberty shall be universal and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and to Thy name shall be the praise forever. Amen. President Charles -C Bonney, of the World's Congress Auxiliary, now delivered the address of welcome, only two sentences long, as follows: The World's Congress Auxiliary salutes and welcomes this magnifioeut audience, assembled to witness the inaugural ceremo nies of the intellectual and moral exposition of tbe progress of mankind to bo made in tbe world's congresses of 1883. The greeting on behair of the Woman's Branch of the Auxiliary will be given by its President, sirs. Potter Palmer. Mrs. Palmer's Laconic Response. The Woman's Branch greeting bv Mrs. Potter Palmer was equally brief ancl to tbe point, thus: The Woman's Branch of the World's Con gress Auxiliary, representing the marvelous progress of women during the last four centuries, unites most cordially in this greeting, and sends congratulations to the leaders ot that progress in all enlightened lands. The "Salutation" In honor of Queen Isa bella, by Mrs. Henrotin, was also a beauty ' of compression, as follows: The assistance which Columbus received from Queen Isabella enabled him to dis cover and reveal tbe American continents. Tbe aid which enlightened womanhood, tbe Queen of this new age, now offers to all men, will enable then, especially the tolling mil lions, to And In tbelr own ooantriaa new worlds of tatilttutal and moral enjoyment, 9Mp MMtlg pCWMCtV, HVrOTfV J Emm 4& 3! social conditions and the rich fruitage of resulting peace. It was at this that Archbishop Ireland Wat introduced by President Bohney In a few welt-chosen words. Wbed the wonder' fdlur)rgar8f Applause that greeted Arch' bishop Ireland had l measurably subsided, the reverend orator began: An Apotheosis on the intellect. Witelv fkrni matter: riaKd above it td ln measurable heights, dominates arid move's the unthinking world. Mind Is tbe causa tive power In, all orderly results. Without it, tbefce is nttttjing.or there is aimless move ment and'ehaos. Tbe universe is the prod uct of tbe supreme mind God increate. Within tbe universe there Is created mind man. Whatever, outside the workings of the First Cause, oome in tbe universe of beanty, goodness and progress, comes through man. He is, within the limits of God's creation, a second oreator. The mani festations or mind In men are of varied meas ures. The degree or mind lifts man above man; the higher the mind, the greater and tbe nobler the man. Through scenes of past ages, over which fancy delights td hover amid Columbian cel ebrations Cordova's bouf t, the hillside of La Rabldatf Palos harbor, or savage Guana hanl one objeot more than ought else (Ob tains attention. We seek it out; we fix upon it the soul's eager eye. It is the figure or Christopher Columbus. The picture; Co lumbus unseen, whatever the remaining forms, whatever the coloring, is incomplete, meaningless; tbe spirit is absent; it is void of inspiration. Columbus Is the mind, cre ating, directing the scenes, bringing Into mem motive and purpose, producing and co-ordinating results. All else in the scenes has value so far as it responds to the thoughts or Columbus, so far aa.lt aids htm to execute bis plans. The queenly and gen erous Isabella, the patient and far-seeing Juan Perez de Marchnna, claim onr esteem because mind in them understodd and fol lowed Superior mind id Coldmbds, In all places, in all occurrences, the sublime, the worshipful power is mind. Man, mind In corporate, is the greatest being in the uni verse. The Commemorative Task Is America's. This day 100 years ago America first un folded to the eyes of civilized races her beauty and her wealth. The solemn com memoration of the discovery of America has been allotted to tho United States. It was tbe right and the duty or the first na tion of the continent to charge Itself with the gracious task. She, as none other, is tbe giant daughter of the progress of tbe age; she) as none other, bas the power to com mand tbe splendors whleh should mark the commemoration. She has inaugurated the Exposition ot Chicago. Proper, too, was it that among the cities of the United States Chicago be the chosen one within whose portals the Exposition be en throned. Chicago, SO years ago the prairie village, the stupendous city or the present time, is the world's objeot lesson of progress. The Exposition will show forth the re sults or tbe discovery of Columbus. In this wise is he honored. What Columbus gaVe to the world was not only the America of 1(92 America, however rich in hidden treas ures, tranquil ana undisturbed in nature's sleep. He save the America Of 1892 the America which bis achievement made possl ble. Hb gaVe, In large measurement, mod era progress amid all nations. America, be large-hearted in thy justioe to Columbus, What thou art, and what thou bast, be it all spread out to the wondering gaze ot the world. Call thou upon all nations to unite with tbee in praising him who was a uni versal benefaotor, and to unroll, also, upon thy banquet tables their choicest gilts -these and thy own, the ripest fruits of hu man progress, a bounteous feast for the hu man mind, the like of which was never set before men. The Functions of the Auxiliary Congress. The organization known as the Auxiliary Congress is an integral part of the Colum bian Exposition, whose dlreotors authorize and support it. It has reosjved from the United States Government recognition and approval. Its special mission is tp organize and cause to be held, during the several months alloted to the Exposition, interna tional conventions of the scholars and workers of the world along all tbe lines of human progress In the various departments of civilized life, and in this way present, through the living voice of the chief actors, clear and comprehensive statements of tbe questions in all tbe fields or activity whioh vex to-day the souls of men. The idea is truly grand, and most Important results must follow from the successful' canylng out or it. The world's congresses will beheld in the Eermanent memorial art palaoe ereoted in ake Front Park. 'Complete reports of all deliberations will be published in memorial volumes St the expense and under the direc tion of the United States Government, Al ready arrangements are being made for the holding of over 100 congresses under charge of the various departments into which the work of the congress auxiliary bas been or ganized. For some congresses, In view of the nature of the subtects to be disoussed. the attendance will probably not range above tbe hundreds. In the greater num ber it will go far upward in the thousands, and in congresses of departments of educa tion, ot temperance, religion, etc., etc, we are assured that tbe attendance will not be under 60,000. The congress auxiliary, the controlling idea of which is to bring together men work ing for men, puts forth in clear outlines tha high pnipose of the whole Exposition, and Invests it with meaning and dignity. Not All in Material Progress. Expositions are held as indications of pro gress and as stimulants fo Its continuous growth. But what is progressT Its chief seat is hot in matter; it is not in the changes of forms to which matter may be subjected. Matter Is not an end to itself. It has no con sciousness of its conditions. No benefit, no enjoyment comes to it, whatever be the uses to which it is put, or the shapings or the colorings which may be Impressed upon It. Progress is a man. It is the growth or roan in the faculties and powers of his being, in his empire over Inanimate and irrational creation. Man alone progresses, or man alone is Intelligent and conscious. Be there as much as may make the de velopment of nature's forces and the har nessing of them to tbe chariots of science and industry. Be there searchlngs into the abysmal secrets of earth, sea and sky. Be there trade and commerce. But, throughout, be tbe aim to buildup man into a higher manhood, into a more in telligent, a better and a happier being. Be it always man' who is progressing. Man not growing, nothing has been accom- Sllslied: man deteriorating, there is evil one. Perish trade and commerce, If thereby man is lessened in his sense of righteousness, and the fibre of his heart is hardened. Perish tbe most ingenious ma chinery, if its conscienceless wheels in their merciless rotations annihilate the purity and happiness or human souls. Labor is a ourse, ft man is thereby made the slave of matter and assimilated into matter. Progress through the whole hnman family is the progress whioh God wills, and whioh we should name progress. False Ideas of Hnman Splendor, There is danger lest expositions, where all is wood and marble, gold and silver, ma chinery and cereals; where matter alone feasts tbe eye, and speaks to the soul, silent ly teach false lessons of progress. All is well with the world, it might seem.if matter is improved. Men seek matter and admire matter. Matter, then, is the all-important Tlie tendency 01 the times is already more materialistic than Its well-wishers desire. Nothing sbould be done to accelerate it. There Is need to repeat aloud the poet's warning: 111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey. Where wealth accumulate", and men decay. This tbe mission of the Congress auxil iary. It will put Into tbe foreground man, as the chief factor and first-fruit of civilisa tion and progress; its programmes of stndlea will bring out in clearest light his grandeur and final destiny. The speaker then went into a detailed description of the plan of World's Fair Congresses. Among his closing passages were the following: Tbe effect of tbe. work of our Congresses will be to give a marked impetus to the forward stream of progress. Their deliber ations will provide the charts lor tbe maroh of future generations. We commemorate the discovery of America, 400 years ago. Behold the crown ing girt to humanity from Columbus, whose caravels ploughed ocean's uncertain billows in search of a great land, and from tbe all ruling Providence whose wisdom and mercy inspired and guided tbe immortal Genoese mariner the United States of Amarloal The Organization of the Auxiliary. Music and benediction followed, and' tbe dedicatory exercises of this memorable day were over. Tbe Congress Auxiliary is con stituted ft follows: First A Central Organization, authorized by the Directory of the World's Columbian Exposition, and recognized by the Govern ment of the United States as the proper agenoy to conduot a series of World's Con gresses In connection with tbe Exposition.

OBSERVED EVERYWHERE. Bow Columbus Day Was Celebrated All Over the Land Children Monopolise the Exercises In Many Cities Cleveland a Quiet Spectator In Brooklyn. New York, Oct 2L Columbus Day has been generally observed throughout the East by the closing of the public buildings, busineis houses and schools. In many of the larger cities elaborate programmes were carried out In New York a Sunday-like quietness prevailed downtown, in Wall street and about the exchanges. All the 83 banks of the Clearing Home Association, are closed. It was so in Boston, Philadel phia, Baltimore. Providence, Buffalo and Albany. Brooklyn had as its special guest ex President Cleveland and a brilliant array of naval and military officers. Mr. Cleveland, having declined to be present at Chicago to-day out of respect to President Harrison, only consented to witness the Brooklyn celebration as a private citizen, and on the assurance that it should be devoid of any po litical or official significance. In Philadel phia commemorative exercises were also held in many churches and at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, where Charles Emory Smith made an address on "America's Con tribution to the World." At Harrlsburg there was a non-partisan parade, in which all political clubs partici pated. Ten thousand school boys paraded the streets of Cleveland under the eyes of at least 100,000 spectators. A similar scene was witnessed in Detroit The occasion was observed very gener ally in tbe West, and scarcely less so in the South. At St Paul the flag over the High School was raised by Josiah B. King, who was the first recruit 'in the first regi ment that was tendered to the Federal Government at the outbreak of the Re bellion.
