COL. THOMPSON'S ADDRESS.
The circumstances under which our people assembled, and the manner in which the second annual floral offering was deposited upon the graves of our buried braves was complimentary alike to the remembered and the remembering— a fitting tribute to the heroic men whose patriot souls went up to the God of Battles from many a gory battle-field so proudly won and bravely lost. Great preparations had been made for the ceremonies to take place on Saturday. Stores were to be closed, business and trade of all kinds, suspended in order that all might participate in the solemn and interesting ceremonies of burying, as it were, their soldier dead anew; again, as in the days when the land was rocked in the pulses of war, with funeral train
with muffled drum and drooping flags to wend their way to the silent city of the dead—to the sepulture of the heroes who fell in the war against treason.
One hour, however, before the processions were to form, a heavy rain set in, that made it necessary to defer the ceremonies until the next afternoon. Yesterday morning opened with the rain still falling, and it continued almost without intermission until about one o'clock. Then, although the clouds were still threatening, it was determined to go forward with the ceremonies. The Court House bell was rung as a signal, and in very brief time hundreds of people were wending their way to the cemetery.
A procession was hastily, formed at the Court House square, consisting of the officers of the day, soldiers, Odd Fellows, and a long line of carriages. The procession was led by Tout's Brass Band, which volunteered its services for the occasion.

Rev1. Emtley Hanjiltbn then offered au eloquent prayer to the Throne of Divine .C^raoe/aftor which Hon. B. W. Thompson came forward and said ,t Fellow eiftsens and Seidusrs of thd Qr'and.
Arty of the Republic ^n the early times it was a universal Custom amongst tbe civilized and refined nations io solemnise a public funeral for those-who bsid fallen tn war. Tne ceraiQOhieS were always solemn and expro?live.: They were 'designed for the twofblifptn'poae, of appeasing the gods of the oldreythology by offaringjincense of wi^ne and olntments: and of preserying in tbe "popular heart a remembrance of the gallant dead^by strewing fliwers upon the sepulchres that containe'd their ashf.s. Ppon one such oQcasion, during the Peloponesean war, and when Athens was the "soul of Greece,"Pericles, who wa» illustrious as an orator a statesman, and a general, was oboaen to pronounce a panegyric upon such as bad given their Uvea to^thetr country, And vere then brotigbt home, from fields of battle, for public interment. After a merited and splendid defense, oftbe Grecian form of government and pointing out, in thai most impressive yet simple style of eloquence, thevqlor anc\ virtues of those from 4ho«a ban^s successive generations bad d^tlved it, he traced the "power of tbe StaU'^ to M« strength and- eapacity -of its pbople, w^ote oourage had made every Wn atid'eVery land, then known, accessible to their adventure, and who had planted jBleraal .monuments of,gogd to them^ViJ and "W ev|r to their ehemies. "fWtutih a State," sifd he, "these our dppitted heroea fought and fell and in such a.cause,.it is right th^t e^ery one'of' us, th.e sarvivots, should residily, encounter bdls and dangers." Then proceeding lo thctW that they had bestowed their 'ilvei upon the public, and were entitled to a deathless renown and the noblest'of sepulchres, be uttered these- magnificent and Inspiring Uioughts :-rthat. their sep, alcbre abould be "not ao much that wherein their bones are entombed, as in which their gft^yis pinserved to be bad in everlasting remembrance on all occasions, whether of speech or action... Fo^ to the 'illustrious the,whole earth is a sepulchre nqTido,monumental inscriptions in their ewn ootintry alone point-it out,A«jt an
Unwritten and mental memorial even in foreign lands, which, mote durable than any jnoapiRefet is deeply seated in the tireastof every one." .j -r
Pericles undoubtedly found in thtf goyerameht' of Greeice,—thou'gh- nkfft .Uian four hundred years before the christian «raT^m«ch tkat iwas wwthy^of jris eToqdent eoeomhims'r a&d in tha devotion
and sacrifices of his countrymen a great deal to be admired and imitated. The Senate and Court of Areopagus was disllhguished by great wisdom, impartiality, ana justness,—which some of our modern :Senates and Courts might do well to.imitate,—but it was so exclusive a body, and had such powers of self-perpetuation, that even Pericles was instigated by the spirit of retaliation to attack it, until he brought about a diminution of ita authority, for tbe reason that, as he had not served in the office of Archon, he was inadmissible to its membership. Tbe Amphietyonic Council waa a sort of national assembly, reflective, in some sense, of the. will of States confederated but not united but its authority rested only upon such a degree of force as was necessary to exclude irom the confederacy, or reduce to submission by arms, any State that refused to pay the fines it. assessed for disobedience to its, enactments. The whole people were required to convene, at short intervals, in general assemblies,: to ratify or reject the decrees- of-tbe Senate, by the public suffrage but they were influenced by a variety of superstitious divinatiohs,— such as tho flight of birds, the appearance of insects and reptiles, the signs in the heavens, the rod'of the diviner, and innumerable other things or were so moved by tbe fascinating and impressive oratory of those classio times, tbat they usually acted from a sudden impulse of partiality or passion, and without the wisdom which is indispensable to the enactment of wholesome and beneficent laws. Their soldiers were skilled in tbe art of war, for they were so trained in its continued practice that they neither received or desired any other education —they were brave and intrepid in battle, for they were, taught to believe in their descent from tba immortal gods, and by their religion, .were made insensible to both life and deatb —and thay were attached to their country, because it transcended all the nations around it in the freedom of its institutions, tbe justness of its laws, the splendor of its eloquence, the sublimity of its literature, and tbe gorgeousness of its arts. Their devotion was inspired by oracles,,and their patriotism fired by national emblems:—even the owl upon the Athenian ensign was designed to remind them no less of the power and authority of the State, than that Minerva, the daughter of Jupiter, was the protectress of their city.
But if there was as much to commend in tbe immature efforts of Greece to build up a democratic form of government and in the military valor displayed in its defense what emotions must arise in our minds when contemplating tbe formotnd character of our institutions, the sagacity and wisdom exhibited by our fathers in their construction, and tbe unselfish and noble patriotism of our heroic dead, which stimulated them to pour out their blood like water, upon more than three hundred battle-fields, rather than see a single, star plucked from our National flag If I had a tithe of tbe eloquence of Pericles, I might stir up emotioos of mingled prido and satisfaction, upon an occasion so solemn and suggestive as this, until each one of this assemblage would feel inspirited by such heroism as that which is proclaimed by the example of those whose graves we are about' to decorate with flowers.
No nation ever engaged in a more important war than did ours during the late rebellion,—whether we consider its magnitude, or tbe vast consequences dependent upon its result. This is not a proper occasion for exciting any of tbe passions en gendered by it, or for a detail of the false and insufficient causes by which its authors sought to palliate their crime. It is best, as things now are, that those who,— instead of consummating their unworthy purpose of destroying a government that never harmed them,—desolated their own hearths, and homes, and fields, should be left to realise-that.theyca a repair the wrongs tlioy have done themselves and us, only by proper repentance for the follies of the past, and consistent andundeviating loyalty in the future. But it is fit that, upou such an ocoasion, we should be reminded of tbe greatness and importance ol tbe issue which the bad ambition of those men forced upon ua,—how the loyal heart of the nation throbbed with the holiest, and highest patriotism, when the life of thergorei nment was staked upon the conflict of arms,—how thousands of swords leaped from their scabbards at the first roar af the cannon,—how the comforts of home, were exchangod for the dangers and hardships of a soldier's life, —how the domestic endearments were broken,and fathers and mothen gave up their Sons, and Sisters gave up their brothers,—how busiaess of every kind was laid aside— how the nation became suddenly panoplied for war,—how long, and fierce, and bloody was tbe contest—how its varying fortunes sometimes made tbe timid waver, but gave new courage and fresh hopes to the brave,—how our heroic soldiers suffered in the: camp, ia the field, ia tbe hospital, iu prison and upou the march, but how gloriously and gallantly tuov followed and defended the old flig, though to*n and riddled in the conflict,— any how, at last, under God's providence, and by tbe unconquerable valor of tbe "boys in blue," the final and crowning victory was achieved, and tho banner of tbe nation was again unfurled, in triumph, upon every hill-top and in every valley of tho land. These are facts of history, not to be forgotten they are great events, to be remenbered by all of us and repeated to our obildren. Though they remind us of national tribulation, of hearts broken, of lies sundered, of desolation, and of death, yet they will serve as inoentives to the du,lies that are before us, and as stimulants to such loyalty as shall oonstitute the perpetual security of tbe nation's life.
It doe3 not rightly follow tbat we shall tbus treat with unmerited censure tbe authors of the-rebellion. In ao far as they desired to destroy the government, by placing it either under their own or the feet of some European despot, they must not expect that we shall ever look upon their conduct as less than treason, in its worst, most repulsivo and most aggra vated form. "VV'e shall not complain if they cherish the memory of their Orave and gallant dead, as we do that of ours and if they shall, with each returning spring, decorate their graves with flowers, as it is our purpose to do for amongst them there were those to whom they were united by ties which cannot be sundered without sending a p^ng of agonising grief to the heart. They fought bravely in a bad cause, and- demonstrated that, as a united nation, the combined powers of the earth could not successfully assail us.— While we execrate the cause in which ttey lost their lives, we are willing that their survivors shall honor those generous impulses which' sprang from a hot and fiery nature, and will bury with them in the grave, all remembrancejof tbe wrong they did in striking at .the nation's throat. The loyal defenders of the nation can be generous as w.ell as brave —for generosity ani bravery are twin-sisters, forever inseparable. But generosity does not forbid-, but, rather, command* the recol .lection of the glory which our armies won, by compelling to submission those whe persisted in the rebellion to the end' That persistence leaves upon them the
obligation and duty of repentance and atonement, and when they learn to withdraw their affections from the "lost cause,"—to realise that proper obedience to tbe national authority Involves its cheerful recognition, and that the" nation has the right to exact the hearty acknowl edgement of its flag from all who are protected by its laws and shielded by its power, tha work of reconstruction will be ended, and tbe past, though not forgotten, will be forgiven. Their duties, as well as ours, are plain. They invoked the spirit of discord, and brought its blighting and blasting and consuming influence to thfir own doors let them drive away the demon from the land forever. As their success would have destroyed the only representative Bepublia upon earth, and blasted the hopes of millions of mankind so their acceptance of defeat, as imposing upon them the daty of future loyalty, will re-adjust the pillars of the government so firmly, that it shall continue to be a shield and protection to our children and to theirs, for perpetual generations. Our heritage of government was received from the bands of a com-' mon ancestry, and can only be preserved for posterity, by our common labors. Tha solemn obligation,—assumed in tha presence of God and tbe world,—rest* upon both them anl us, to see that it is not given over as sport for the passions of meo, or to the madness of the hour, or to thai desperate and selfish ambition which places itself in tbe front of every achieve* ment, and which would revel in the blasted and flighted hopes of the nation, if place and power, and their emoluments, could be won by such ignoble and debasing means. zBijal
All the events transpiring around us' combine to teach:, that our institutions should be guarded with the most unceasing vigilance. The world has moved so far forward towards political freedom, that it can take no backward step, unless we shall lead the way. .Thrones that have been beaved from their foundations cannot be rebuilt, so long aa we hold our government fast and firmly in ita true course.- The Kings and Queens who wander over tbe earth, will soon out* number those who wear crowns of royalty, if the strength of our nation shall remain unbroken. The great work of popular regeneration is going on throughout the world, and if the integrity of our union shall reaiain unimpaired, it will oontinue to go on to its grand and glorious consummation. At such a time, jwe must neither forget that it is the light from our institutions that is lighting up the dark places, nor that it is our duty to emulate the patriotism of those whose memories we revere,and upon whoee_graves we now propose to make our offering of flowers. The remembrance of their death is' sad, but the teachings of their example should excite joyful hopes in every mind for the future of our country. They loved it with the devotion of true patriots. They bounded to arms, with alacrity, at the first sound of the trtimpet. They gave their lives in the cause of the Union.— Let it not be said that we have failed in any duty enjoined either by love of country, or reverence and affection for them.
Thero is one interesting reflection excited in my mind by these ceremonies. The graves we are about to decorate contain tbe laat remains of our own friends and brethren, who composed apart of the great army which went forth to battle from our own beloved State. When I became a citizen of Indiana the population of the State was less than four hundred thousand,-and yet it has now grown to such a position in the Union, that it furnishod 208,367 troops to aid in 'the suppression of the rebellion --composed of 176,775 infantry, 21,605 cavalry, and 10,986 artillery. These troops participated In more than 300 engagements during the war,—90 of which were fought in Virginia, 51 in Tennessee, 41 in Georgia, 24 in Mississippi, 19 in Arkansas, 18 in Alabama, 16 in Kentucky 15 in Louisiana 9 in Missouri, 8 in North Oorolina, 7 in Maryland, 3 ia Texas, 2 in South Carolina and 1 in Pennsylvania. Upon each one of these numerous battle fields the bkxkl of the State was shed in the sacred cause of the Union. Who, amongst us, does not take pride in such a record:? It is a glo« rious.record,.and when, in after times, i£ shall come to be read by our posterity, they will exult at the loyalty and patriotism of tbeir fathers. All the armies of the United States, preceding the rebellion, combined, did not number half so many men,—including the army of the Revolution, that in tbe last war with Great Britain, and the war with Mexico^ Frederick the Great had not so many when he waa pressed upon by all his enemies, and when he laid tbe foundation of Prussian greatness
and
power. Nor had Na
poleon I in either of the armies with which he marched to £gypt, into tbe Peninsular, of Spain, or across the frontier of Belgium Such an army marshalled to-day in France, underneath the leadership of Grant, or Sherman, or Thomas
or
Soari-
dan, would drive the piefldireus Kn poleon III. from the throne be so ignominious ly holds, and with tbe strength it would gather as it -advanced, wotfid uafurl its banner of popular liberty throughout all E irope. And when we add te this, the Other interesting' fact, that, durthe war, the penpie o.f Indiana contributed $15,492,876 04 to the payment of bounti to soldiero, $4,566,898,06 ior tie r«ii«f of tbe families of soldiers, and $198 866 58 to miscellaneous military purpi#*s,— jaking a grand aggregate of_$20,258,640,68, —besides their contributions to the national treasury,—it abould be the source of infinite satisfaction to us all tbat our Statb has won for herself such a fame.— May we do nothing to dim the brightness of her history. May we not fail to cherish in our heart of hoarts, the memory of her gallant sons who have done so much, and sacrificed so much to make her name honored and resjpected. May we never forget her heroic dead, who gave up their lives in the holiest of earthly causes. They have won our reverence, by deeds of the noblest daring, and are entitled to have engraved upon their sepulchre the words of one of tbe sweetest poets: "0, If there be in thl* earthly *phero, i« A boon, an offering Heav*n bold* dear •Tia the laat libation Liberty draw*, Front the heart tbat bleed* and break* in her cause."
Then strew your flowers upon their graves that they may bear testimony to your veneration for their memory. Strew beautiful flowers that they may express tbe depth of your feelings, and tbe sincerity of your affection. Strew sweet flow* en that their fragrance may rise up .toward Heaven like inconee from holy altars. These flowers are voiceless —but if every petal were a tongue, they would utter eloquent praises of the gallantdead whose graves they decorate. Then strew them thickly, that the summer's sun may not wither them too. soon. Ay9,:plant them in the soil, and plant them well, that they maygrow, and bud, and blossom with each reluming year, and pat forth new beauty, and shed new fragrance, to tell how deeply we feel tha loss of the neble patriots who, dying at the post of duty, sleep well beneath these sod*. The winter's frost may wither them, and they may fall, as these, oar brethren, were cut
down by the leaden hail of battle but as their spirits have risen to a glorious immortality, so will these flowen/ be again robed in beauty. And plant the white rose at the head, and the red rose at tha feat, and the modest violet in the middle of their graves,—and let them be the Washington rose—that the "red, white and blae," mingled in beautiful harmony, and asaoaiated with the name of "the father of his country," may tell the stranger and tbe pasMr by that these are soldiers' graves —the last and final resting-places of soldiers who belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic.
And as you perform this solemn and seared duty to the dead, unfurl the old flag, —the stars and stripes,—tbat it may fljat once more above them. Tnen, if it wera given to them to look back from the spirit world upon the scenes transpiring here, their souls would again joioe at the inapiring sight, as they stoula see that no stripe was. dimmed ana no star -tricken from its f.Wda. They loved that fl g. They f-llowrd it through Bun.hu aad storm, through shot and shell. They ««re stirred with the holiest patriotism, whenever their eyes rested uoon its eagle. They fought for it with a gallantry wmch neither danger nor accident could abate. It was for iu honor and glory that they died. "It is pleasant and honorable to die for one'a country .' •Then w'th your banner, wv-v.w.-•

At the conclusion of tbe address, a ben* ediction was pronounced by Bev. Hamilton^acd then the vast concourse of people passed fnto the cemetery.
The damp ground and high wet grass made it inoonvenient for the ladies to get to the graves, and the distribution of flowers devolved upon the gentlemen. Forming along procession, each supplied with garlands and bouquets, which had been furnished in the greatest profusion and of nature's ohoicest flowers, they silently passed from grave to grave depositing tha floral tributes, the Band meanwhile playing solemn music.
So beautiful and touching a remembrance of our soldier dead is worthy to be perpetuated so long as onr free and happy nation has an existence. With each annual return of the Spring-time with its wealth of flowers, let the great heart of the country throb heavily over the graves of its heroes. "Half-mast its starry flag," and let the plumed shadows of death again crape its folds; let a grateful people, with hands still thrilling with the remembrances of the last pressing touch of farewell, bring tbeir votive tributes to garland the graves of those we mourn. Bring not the tears of the burial the agony of the parting but instead bring the flowers of remembrance—the fit emblems of the noble heroes who shut their eyes on life at an age when the whole future was flushed with hope like the Eastern sky with the rising sun. "So mote it be." —————
