At half past 10 o'clock, Judge M. B. Young introduced the veteran hero, Col Jno P. Murray first commander of 28th Infantry, who led his gallant men through all the battles of the 1st year. The Colonel's speech was very short, but to the point, speaking from the record. He alluded to one bit of history which was sufficient in itself to immortalize, as it will in coming ages, the invincible 28th. The official report of the battle at Shiloh, he showed that the capture of Prentice's Brigade was ((rest of the microfilm blackend in that section)) The Colonel's speech did ample justice to the entire soldiery of the Southern army, and it, of itself, was sufficient to satisfy the wishes of those assembled. The Col, it will be remembered, was called from the field to the Confederated Congress, where he rendered effiecient service. Col R. C. Sanders of Lebanon was next speaker. he said that while praise is due to the southern soldiery, all unkindness should be in the bosom of the deep Ocean buried, and no good soldier would utter an unkind word against his adversary. This was a noble sentiment of Col. Sanders. For special reasons he was expec-- to say much in praise of Col. S. s. Stanton, which he did in good and truthful style. His was the longest speech of the occasion, and said by many to be long, as others, with whom the col. was not intimate, deserved notied. Just here, I must remark, that none of the speakers made any aliusion whatsoever to Col U. S. Brown and Col. Prston C. Cuninghan who, in turn, commanded the 28th. Brown a mere dutiful man never drew a swoard. Col. Cunningham was the last man of Brackenridge's Division to leave his horse, which he did after recieving a mortal wound. Judge N. W. M'Connell spoke next, delievering an interesting speach replete with patriotic sentiment. He said that leonidas and his 300 men at thermopoleo displayed no ---courage than did the entire southern soldiers for the last few months of the war. His reputation of the charge that the southern soldiers are traitors was conclusive to all intelligent minds and brought forth tokens of approbations. Gen Geo. G. dibrell 'the old war horse' whome we all love to honor, made a short and appropriate oration which was recieved with approbation. All honor to Gen Dibrell. Ex Gov A. S Marks of nashville delivered a tasty oration abounding in 'chaste and elegant' Metaphois. Similes and other boquets of rhetoric admiraly 00000to the occasion closing with a tribute to the ladies who was largely in attendance.
