They summoned all tbe liory impulses generated beneath a Southern nky to their assistance. They were commanded by able leaders. They contended with a valor worthy of a better cause. Europe was not merely indifferent,but ac tive in their behalf. Almost tho whole world was against us, und we were compelled to battle not merely with our foes at home, but with bitter enemies abroad. Reverse succeeded reverse,uutiltbo hbarts of many grew sick with disappointment. The issue for a long timo was doubtful. At length the backbone of the rebellion wag broken upon our own soil, upon the soil of our own good Penn sylvania, under the leadership of our own gallant Meade, who at Gettysburg stayed the progress of tho hostile bands, and flrst gave us the promise of a bright future. And yet after this the ultimate decision was long delaj od until at once, and almost unexpectedly, tho fear ful contest camo quickly to its conclusion, and peace was restored to our allllcted country. Patiouco, fortitude, and perseverunco conquered in the end, aud glorious have been their results. , .. , Let us never cease to remember tho noblomenwho achieved the victory. It is true that to conapicuoua names amongst them the highest honors havo been ac corded ; but let us not ignore the common soldiers, with out whose presence ana aid such great results would never have accomplished ; for tlioy fought from the Direst motives, and at great sacrifices. They were not, •Tu the vast majority ot instances, mercenaries, selling themselves for a stipulated price, but weromou actuated by duty, impollod by a sacred love of country, with Ktrong affections for our republican institutions, feeling there was no safety for us m the future except m pre serving the Union of those United Statos., And such men we aro assembled this day to honor. \V • <• revere their uiemoriesmot because they ought to bo com- ! me.morated moro than others who were engaged m the same uoblo conflict (for with just Bueh materials as these was the rank and file of our army filled; men of •whom it has been justly said that in moat instances they were superior in intellect aud standiugto many of tho lower grades of officers by whomthoy werocoiumandtd), but becuuse we knew them—knuw too the motives which . actuated them—kuow their individual excellencies and worth, aud because their bright example may stimulate others, should a similar necessity arise either against a foreign or domestic foe, to unnilato their gallant deeds and lollow their noble footsteps. In iancy wo can see them Intoning to their country’s call and determine to devote themselves to her services. Wo can see them lay ine aside their garments as civilians and assuming the national uniform. We can see them standing in the riuks with their bright, cheerful and hopeful faces flushed with patriotic ardor, yet calm and ournofd and • detci mined in iheir purpw©-."' e-ihen follow -thaw-into , the army, its active duties mid labors.

Knne O’Dotmoll was then introduced, andi said: Friends: Our dead aro with us. , Called by high occasion they rovisit their youth. But senators and fathers, they shall give us bonedlction.for death, tho great ago, and sacrifice, the groat experience, have made them venerable .Not wo so much honor them as they honor ue. Passion perishes, tho outcry of slaughter censes, tho smoko of battle vanishes, and leave, lot us trust, tho immortal and benofleont soulee vono. &o, let us greot our boroos, remembering, with the poet. it is only dofith that dies. This teinplo of charity, this family and friendship of ours, thjsnioiiu; lnont uowly dedicatod, cry out against thoir cutting off. Tho place wo knew, the memories and hopes, we sharod, the breathing world itsolf, resist tho thought that they havo altogotnor perished. More living than tho Kroon earth may seem to us tho inspiration oi their lives, stronger than monuments tho adamant of the truth that undcHies and Surpasses all fame; grander than the pr jdo of cities, the pomp of governments, the thundor of war, the destiny oi tho humblest soul. ■ , But wo are sensible, indeed, that thoso wo lioiior-hayo in some manner ceased to bo. For thorn no moro are tho auroral pleasures which thrill in the blood of youth, tho poetry of genial seasons whicli can lcindlo gladness even In aged eye® ; no longer the crowded game, tho laborious pastime of splondhl but torriblolije, tho illusion and tho discipline©! earthly ondcavor. Whon last thov saw na ture her birdß whistled tbom to tho field and her skies shone like a banner. They trod tho daisy nndor foot.and alas! tho beautiful earth was wot with their blood. Thoirs was no child’s-play,though children shall gambol where thoy fell,though beauty shall flourish where thoir mourners wopi,to remind us how tho gardon of Euon has boenmo a battle-fleld, and how, with as strange moaning as Mahomet ? s, Paradiße is indeed under tho shadow of swords. In tho day of their strife naturo seemed but tho background to on© lamentable tragedy, and friends and kindred the helpless spectators of tho scone. What brother’s arm should bear tho fallen f. Whnt matron hearts should nurse them? What infirm ary, should heal tho great, gaping wound of Death it self? What should make laurols green to blind eyes? What should mako whole our crippled vlctorios, our shattered successes, our triumphs with half a leg? Verily our fato is hard ; verily our trial is sore, and not but in agony is steeped the purple of heroes. MorcituHy are our spirits “subdued to what thoy work in, the toiler limited in his tasks, tho fighter in his lists, elso what enterprises would turn awry, what cowards and uiithrifts wo should bo? But, wide as our planot is, it has only room for a purpose, and with all its magnifi cence, celebrates nothing more tenderly than sacrifice. # NW ancl hel-e it is specially proper that wo should venerate the fortune and misfortune or death ; for we stand, as it Were, by the graves of bravo men with wliosr bloody toil we had more than general sympathy. Fitting it is that we here roalise our mortal fellowship. For all of ns iB one poem, this of nature ; ono epos, this of life ; one commonplace tragedy, this of death. But thoy who fought-and foil for us at Gettysburg and Antietamand in the Virginian battles are peculiarly epioal to us, for they strove for man against mon, and tested life for us to make it braver.-J-’hoy ‘'marshal us the way that wo should go.” Yet wo ask ourselves what have thoy gained? what have we gained in the struggle since there wore wounds* since here are dust and 'ashes. Less, perhaps, than they imagine who cheered the wrath and forgot the npony : less than our stormiest reformers could calculate, seeing how our best and bravest were slain, aud how many of the ransomed perished in the victory ; less than thoy can know who vainly ascribe to men wlmt in one way or other defeated, the efforts of all men, yet -vlu dicatefl tlio truth at l[iBt,n'hen a cbuho hail nigh glvou way under the failure of prophets and warriors; leas,aud Eorhaps more; but only to bo determined in the tine alances of heaven ; enough, at all events to strike off certain chains, to try prido,to prove manhood, to give us this monument, and ull the meaning of its honorable ° NoUiow could we fail to deeply respect the truth that they whoso monument we uncover fought-for country and for freedom, shadows oft ho imagined Heaven whore country is paradise, where freedom is immortality, and where leadership is God. But had thoir fato given us no better text than of liyes lost in a partisan struggle, we should not have been here. Were all wo cnlobrntobut the fact that thoy suffered in the polico duty of Having life aud property, we might not commend to ourselves the lesson of thisnoble hour. Wbat keeps war from be ing a great baby-game of murder ‘savo the thought wc bring to thiscoimnemoration? However our brethren reached that end which we glorify now, by what process of circumstances they came to oner up life in our behalf for a soldier’s pay, by wbat inspiration they foil under the flag, we stop not to inquire. By devious and unfor seen ways they were brought like the mightiest of tho earth to realize the earnestness and tho sacredness of life and death. Heaven, lot ns trust, made them its in struments, and when they fell to die it was like old Ahtajiis/to gather strength from their fall aud rise again. Their simple courage was not known in general orders or in politics ; they were unrenowned In yellow covers with theatrical champious; heaven-born pirates, and tho rest. They were toilers as thoy wore soldiers; thoirs wore work-a-day romances, and at last thoy faced the deadliest matter-of-fact; but they knew the use of better weapons than Vulcan s and hdavier artillery than Mars’s. As their effort celebrated tho common man hood, so wo rear this memorial to the rank and file, and the sons of the poor. Sacred be thoir memories that so rise above thoicalculutions of warfare, wlioso valor and glory were numbers, and duty and sympathy arithmetic, and when somotimetf in vain-glory our braves were thrown away. Sacred bo their memories hero gathered and monumeuted not‘to din. Blest bo thoir sacrifice, precious their example, to teach our younger brethren that iu the world beyond these walls there is a nobler apprenticeship than that of trade, and that tho uncom mercial journey of high honor, to speak tho words of Sir Philip Sidney, lieth notiu smooth^ways. How we dedicate this monument which the bounteous fatherhood of the city Ims eroded to tho memory of their children and our brethren, who lost their lives in pre cious sacrifice lor that freedom we now enjoy,and for that emancipation of humble men whose joyous deliverance our own unshackled souls can now feel. Thunk God for what they have won! Heaven bless all they have suffered. This impressive stone- shall remain forever a portion of tho memory and the beauty and the glory of our College. It shall point an undying example to the childron of Girard; it shall be another monument to his bouuty ; for though, indeed, death in youth and in battle be most,melancholy, our affec tions, onr gratitude, our solemn purpose, our steadfast faith shall yet hallow all. Lot ns not despair, though our brethren have fallen from us, aud though this monu ment seems for a moment vain to tho doath they died. Hot to death i 0 friends, but to immortality, do wo raise the signal in our hearts and tho monumeut on earth. Hot to this narrow spaco do we restrict our offering, but wo give it to the brotherhood of souls. Not in solf flattery let u« devote it, but in rovoroncoof that.

E. LITTLETON. Willium K. Littleton, Esq., President of the Alumni, then delivered an address. Hosaid:' Ladies and Gentlemen: After tho addresses to which wo have all listened with so much pleasure, you will neither expect nor desire that 1 should detain you with any extended remarks. This I know full well, and not even the interest of the occasion shall tempt mo to tres pass unduly upon your patience or indulgence. The duty devolved upon us to-day bears a twofold character. It is sad, because to tliosa of us who are graduates of tho College it vividly recalls recollections ot brothers departed ; and yet it is not-altogether sorrow ful, for we come to honor their memory lor their heroic courage in tho great struggle ho recently ended.' What community in the loyal North hut has its honored dead, who fell as our brothers did, battling for tho good cause; and what community but desires, in some lasting way, to express its groat love for the bravo men who have so nobly t'allenr Halls and monuments are rising throughout the laud, to perpotuate _ their ’"memories : and their nanios, thoir courage; aud their sad, yet noble late,shall never bo forgotten. We too have our departed ones, and to their memory lias been erected'the statue before you ; and on its .base, uh you Jiavo already learned, arc written tho names of the graduates of tho College who were killed during tho war, or diediromdiseaso then contracted, or vrouuda re ceived in buttle. , . , Where stands tho marble figure which commemorates their virtues, they and wo iu earlier days pluyod in the happy innocence of childhood ; their voices and ours echoed and re-echoed arouud this name spot.

We never thought of wars or thoir desolations. Wo never dreamed that any ot us nbould take part in them. Shirt out from the world, wlnt had wo to do with its groat questions or great evils? You,men of older growth, governed and controlled it! We knew but little of it,bud, contented here in this oiir ) t ii»ni-i>wr world—time spnl. .uiuiJ ll i LthaLour caiutifor. ua to leave it; and then, a few short years, ami the Great You know its story well. How doubtful at first «comed the result. Those early defeats, who does not recollect them! How the national heart ached with agony an there ciinic disaster upon disaster, and brave •m*>n went down by thousands, und the wounded wore scattered all over tbe land. But nc truohcartdospairod, und sure victory camo at last. We must still think of the days of Bull Ruu and like disasters,lor we cannot bunish memory at will; but there eunie, thunk God, in lator time, tor happier recol lections, such days as those of Gettysburg, whore, on Pennsylvania soil, und under Feunsylvnmu’bGeneral, the Army-of tbe Republic gave the rebellion its death in tho great crisis which then came upon us,tho Grad uates of Girard College were not backward. More than a third of their then number enlisted in thoarmy. The Iboy who in early youth almost- timidly loft its protecting walls, iu muuhooij fearlessly shouldered the musket ana marched with the brave and truo, fighting valiantly in his country’s cause. 1 Some are with us yet; others fell, nobly dying, thut.tliu Government .might not porjsh,. Theirs has indeed been the patriot’s death. We who tturvlvo them shall never greet again their manly forma. 01 tome, wo only know that this or that ono fell iu bat tle ; timt others perished amidst the horrors of And**r suimlloor Beil* isle. And bo the nod Btoiy runs on. Nb gravestone marks tin* spot where rest thoir lust remains; ho hand of affection shall strew flowers upon their un timely graves; und th*so,tho places of thoir childhood, dhall Unow them never again forever I But though dead, their memories shall not perish, and through uH time, whilst stands this noble editico or yonder monument which we have erected,‘shall the world learn of thoir courage und their patriotism. And »o long us there shall oxist a gradmitoot Girard College, their names and deoils shall be kept iu dcuroat recollec i tion; for wo who knewtheu in tho.dayagouoby ,you who have succeeded us, and they in t,nrn.who shall coraoafter you, will always revere the memories of thou? of our number who have so nobly died. Year after year, us wo father hero, ug is our custom, to honor tho memory of tephen Girard, shall wo unite in homage to our departed brothers, end as wo stand beforo thatstatue, with the re collections of the past aud youth’s hallowed associa tions crowding upon us.vve shali.ttlwayb give to them our dearest, choicest thoughts. May tho monument which we thfi day dedicate to thorn forever otaud. There, iu its appropriate place, under tho protecting shadows of this and yonder building, may it last until time shall be no more-over teaching the world that tho will of tho founder was faithfully kept, and tliatthe.ininatos of hia Oollege wero taught that “love of country” which ho en joined, and which enabled them to dlo in its defence. And by it nmvtlie pupll«.of tho Institution over have before them the patriotic example of those of thoir pre derossoi’K whose memories it seeks to perpotuate, making it unwell b lesson to the living ns a momorial to the dead. Then, indeed, shall all feel that it has not been built*in vain.

Joseph Pilmoro, its first pastor. His text was selected from Zaclmriah, 4th chapter, 7th verse : ‘‘Who art thoulO great mountain Y Behold, Zorubbitbel thou shalt become a plain, and ho shall bring forth the head stone thereof with shoutings, crying grace, grace, Ul Thc deed was executed September 11th, 1770, aud tho property convoyed to tho following named Trustees: Richard.

The Gormans who built the house called it “George, tho name which it still retains. ... When Howe’s army entored Philadelphia m 1777, this house was occupied by a portion of it, being used as a riding-school for tho cavalry, and whatever fixtures the Methodists had put in were torn out. .Other places of worship received similartreatment.

In tho year 1798 ho had his lust meeting with the Trustees, when it was unanimously resolved to raise means to complete the building.

The neatness, beauty and comfort that now pervados it have all boon secured withiu the present generation, bt. George s was the seat of the first American Methodist Conference, which was held in this church July 14th, 1773. During tho first flftv years of its history It was one great Cathe dral, and as the original walls still stand, itls v really tho oldest Methodist church on tho continent. v . Until the year 1788. this church was ombraced in a cir cuit extending into New Jorsoyand Pennsylvania, and called Pennsylvania Circuit. . . x . ■ . In 1790 Ebenezer was added to the station, and soon thereafter Nazareth and Salem. These fourchurchos constituted ono charge, with four, ministers, until the year 1P34, when St. George’s became a separate statioa, and has remained so ever since. In .this consecrated place thousands have knelt to seek the grace of pardon, the Messing of purity, and to participate in the supper of the Lord. ■„ . _ . On this,the first day oftho new century,we meet again. The memory oftho Fathers, both ministers and laymen, is as ointment poured forth, and the review of the sceaes ’ ol former times is very precious. Ihe pastor and mem bers of this Church and congregation greet with a hearty welcome, a welcome home, tue tornaor pastors, members, members’ children, members great and great grand-children and, tnouds of the ancient ami beloved Church. Wo honor her tor what she bus been ami for tho great and extensive good which, by the blessing of the Lord, she has accent ‘plielied and ask our friends to unite with us In the prayers that tho mother of churches may still bring* forth fruit in old-age, that in all coramg3tlme who may exert a reformatory afid saving iufluenco in the community where she is located, tliat in the day of glory it may be said “that tills and that man was 1 Simpson addressed the meeting, stating that it rejoiced him to meet with the people of God in the vene rated temple where so many who had gone to heaven had preuchcd tho Gospel.

Herelorredin- touch ing strains to the good which had boon accomplished, but hu would not havo man take to himself any of tho glory of the great work thus accomplished. We must give the glorv to God, to whom it is due. The speaker then referred to the millennial glory which will be visible when another hundred years shall have rolled Father Boebm then spoke of tho feeliugs of tenderness which pervaded his heart oh speaking on this occasion. Before he rose he felt he could not go through with any remarks, hut he hoped the Lord would sustain him. The first time he was in this church was m 1797. Tho exercises on the occasion leftsorioua impressions on his mind—the sermon beiDgJfrom the lips of Bishop-Anbury. The speaker here gave a history of his travels with this divine, stating that after leaving the city ho went with the Bishop as far as the Allegheny Mountains. After traveling a long circuit he returned* He thanked God that ho was present on this occasion. It fell to his lot at this time to have as his field Schuyl kill district, in which ho preached day and night. Then it was completely a barren place; now it has its 190,000 inhabitants. In 1801 he became attached to tho Philadel phia Conference, which now embraces a large number of churches, nine Conferences haring been formed from it. This wonderful work was caused by the simplicity in the m iu this way the truth was made plain and tho good kVr grew feeble and desired to stop, but rally ing in his feelings, exclaimed : “Bless the Lord !' Ho was one vear older than the United States, having been bom in the year 1775. He thanked the Lord that he had been so long sustained, and that God was still with him by the powerof Hisspirit.
