There were more than three millions of armed men engaged in it. It cost more than three billions of dollars in money, and a large {amount in property destroved. It produced more great military com- manders than any other war. Of the| soldiers in the tied, fu'ly a third were killed or disabled. Then why houldnot tte memory cf it be per petuated and transmitted to posterity —to the descerdents of those who fought in it and bore the brunt cf it—perpetusted not caly by monu- ments to and eulogies of its great commenders, but in the form of an honest hbistcry of the lubors and racrifices of those of bumbler rank— the form whic to the atfentio men” “The bocor and glory, of this great struggle was with the South and Southern scliiers sought in sacd their deed comrades to preserve the memory of it. While the North and Northern (soldiers are invei hing against all manifestations of sectional feeling, |direction for the transportation of | jits troops, so that soldiers who were | 2t. : . . ; jit by a grinding process and without | say the honor and glory was with the South. The North had more than four soldiers to one of the South. Its armies were re enforced and assisted by 600 ships of war, manned by 35,000 sailors. It had! unlimited credit, which meant an} nited supply of money. It had nufactories to make everything ded to arm and euip—to supply | and maintain its armies and fleets.) Tt had railroads running in every | | fighting in Missouri one week could | be fighting in Virginia or Tennessee jor Georgia the next week. It a8) jintercourse with the whole world jand could draw recruits for its army | jand navy from the whole world. The South had none of thesa advantages, or hed them only toa limited extent. But, notwithstanding a'l its advan- j tages, it took the North four years to crush tbe South, and then it did having victory. “Taking the trosps ia the field on the Southern side, we hold that those of no state acquitted them | Selves with more honor and courage | than those of Missouri. The splendid \record made by the Missourians at the battle of Wilson's Creek was an linspiration to all Missouri mands during the war. We are ‘borne out by the testimony of gained a single decisiye com- For the Holidays, (Don't Pass Womack’s Store When Lookiug for Holiday Presents. We Have the Finest Line of Christmas Goods in the Market. Sunday School Superintendents will find it to their Interests to Call at our Store Be. fore Buying Christ- mas Candies. We also have a Large Line of Holiday Presents in Queens and Glassware. We are enjoying s good trade for which we are very grateful to the | the commanders of the armies in | which they served, when we say the First and Second Missouri Brigades jeast of the Mississippi river, more |fuly represented the chivalry and | fighting qualities of those armies, in the long list of battles from Shiloh to the fall of Mobile, than the troops from any other state. On the west side of the Mississippi river, the Miseouri trocps were always st the front, whether the fighting was in Louisiana, Arkansas or Missouri. And when the end came they were tbe only troops in the transmissie- sippi department who opposed to the last laying down their arms and giving up the struggle—whbo pre ferred exile to surrender. “It is the lesson of history that he people of any political commun- ity who are not able and willing to jdefend their rights soon have no rights to defend. The talk in vogue nbout the brotherhood of man and the cessation cf war does no great harm, perhaps, as the expression of an abstract -eent:ment. But the hunireds of millions of onwarlike people of India held iv subjection by a few regiments of British soldiers, and the helplessness of that great inert mass of humanity, the Chinese people who have been taught to despise war and look upon soldiersbip as the lowest of human callings, show that, practically, the sentiment is not only wrong but dangerous. Nations are as much disposed to appeal to the sword today as in any age of the world. Europe is bristhng with armed men fr.m the Bospborus to the British Chern+!, and from the Baltic to the Mediterranean Sea, and the nations nly witbhold their hands from each otha’s throats because in the multi- tude of nationalities, the strongest of them cannot foresee the result of a general war, if one should be inaugurated. “In the impending crash of na tions, in which Asta will be involved as well as Europe, America as well as Asia, Africa as well as America— the United States will bave to take its ebances—the South as well as the North, and Missouri along with other states. Is this a time, then, for Mieseurians to forget or ignore |the leesons of esoldiersbip taught them by Price and Marmaduke, and Shelby and Bowen and Weightman, and thousands of other dead and living heroes of the war in which strong men struggled valiantly for ‘the mastery? To mea of southern sy mpathies—men of the old pioneer stock—there is much of instruction and inceutive in the names and lrecords of their comrades in arms, lwhich ought to be and must ibe, transmitted to their children |for the reputation and safety of the ‘tate. Theo military history of Mis- isouri should be written fully, fairly land honestly, and now is the time to jbegin the work The committee has under consideration a plan for col- jecting the data and raising the \famds necessary to the accomplish | ment of the purpose herein cutlined. \It will require the support of all the ex eonfederate soldiers in the state they are erecting monuments t0/to carry it out successfully, but it their successful leaders, and telling will not be burdensome to avy of the story very much to their own/| them. “Vircest Marmapcgy, credit and to our detriment.
