The services were opened with prayer by
Mr. Give Halenhed ud singing at Amer-
ica W.A.Dalton,loq.,of thhdty,avet-
«and the 11th New York Battery,“
deiivu'ed an afle and dignified addrem, of
whim the following are brief extracts:

“ Cm Lanna m Gm:—
If ithaaoflondglorious to dieforoue‘s
eu-try, it 5 sweet and becoming to weep
overthegraveao! thosewhothus died,and
straw theta with flowers. Whenweremem-
her who 1': here, and what they accom-
pliahed forasand ourfavored lahd,itseems
but a slight tribute we pay their noble mem-
ories to visit their tombs once a year and
deck them with nature‘s sweet ornaments.
I believe the performance of this little cer-
emony is but the public expression of adeep
and hurtfelt gratitude toward those noble
heroes, and an earnest of the inimitable
glory which their gallant and self-sacrificing
deeds have merited ; and surely, it is the
least we can do for those who gave their ut-
termoat for us, to keep their graves and their
remembrance green. * ' *

He who has not actually endured the pri-
vationaof the camp,or worn hisfeet sore
inthetoihomemarchmr shared intheter~
rots of the uncertain bivouac, orfaced death
on the httlefield, can form no adequate con-
ception of what it is for acitizen toturn
M into a soldier. Thousands upon
mounds, who enjoyed the happy associa—
tim of loving friends. and never knew a
greater privation than the self-imposed in-
cidents of hmines or travel; thousands of
mob, fired with patriotism, willingly ex—
changed home, and ease, and plenty, and
promise, for the toil, and infelicities of army
life, and uncomplainingly endured the mis-
eries and dangers of many a disastrouscam-
paign. American youth are nature‘s noble-
memtheyare born commanders; but their
country’s danger demanded a temporary re-
linqu'nhment of individual rights for the
common good, and being heroes as well as
nobleman loving their country more than
thermelves, they obeyed her call with won-
drous allcritv; and the marshalled hosts of
these natural sovereigns, who voluntarily
placed themselves under the despotism of
army regulations to march against the cue-
mies of their country and face death in de-
fence of a principle, was a sight that chal-
lenged the admiration of the world. These
chivalrom boys, whose memory we honor
to-day, marched far away out of sight and
communiation, to be heard from only oc-
mimally by anxious friends, whose hearts
trembled at the report of every battle. You
saw them go, flushed with health, strong in
their manhood. You heard of their battles,
their toil and sufferings, and rejoiced in the
story of their bravery. They were brought
back to you dead or dying, and here they
lie, never to be forgotten by loyal hearts.

nut hnw little do you know of what they
endured for you! How great was their ser—

vice, how slight their reward! How mel-
ancholy their story, but how faint the ap—
preciation of its bitterness! While you
peacefully argaged in your daily round of
haema- or plenum, returning at nightto
your refreshing meal. your abundant shelter
and easy couch that wooed the drooping
encrgia to sweet repose, they, burned with
thesun or drenched with the rain, bore
heavy arms, humping the dusty or muddy
roads theday long and far into the night,

Themoon and thestars were Lheirlamps,
the cold ground their bed, the knapsack

ing of the treestheir evening lullaby. While
you arrayed yourselves in rich and becoming

died in battle were killed with weapons
,upon which was stamped the British Crown.
§ 1} I'

We have come to the sacred place of the
dead, not only to commingle with the spirits
of those whose mortal remains are here en-
tombed, but to remember also those whose
tombs are scattered along thebanks of every
river and bayou, and all over the plains
fought over by our troops in the Rebellion.
At least one-third of all those who died at
the front, sleep in unknown graves. What
shall be done that the memories of those
who fell in bottle from Norwalk may live?
This we mu, and should do: Record on
granite the names and heroic deeds of our
fathers, sons and brothers, whose remains lie
mouldering in the dust all over the south.
This is a duty as binding upon the survivors
of the war, as any that we owe to kindred
who have passed away from earth. It is a
greater duty. for they died for others and
for country.

We refer with just pride to the records of
all those regiments in whose ranks were to
be found so many of the sons of this an-
cient town, all of whom have left a record
that should be inscribed upon imperishable
monuments. Friends and commdts, we iu<
volte that the same spirit that actuated you
when our boys were going to the front, will
see that something tangible be done;
that the names of those who sleep in un-
known graves may live in the memories of
those who maycome upon the stage of life
in future yeam.

W’e refer with pride, also, to those who
were wounded and maimed in the war. They
should be honored and respected, not only
by those who survive the strife of battle,
but by every lover of his country. * *
Comrades and friends, we command, in the
name of patriotism, if 11 maimed soldier
visit your door, we care not how abject he
may appear, if he ask for water give him
wine, if he ask for bread give him meat
also, if he ask for a dime give him a dollar.
You cannot do too much for him, for he has
fought for a principle that all nations have
honored and celebrated in prose and poetry
from time immemorial, and it is the spirit
of Christ. 11 11 r '

Those men who faced death for their
country, however bad they might have been,
are daerving of a higher place 1n the aflec—
tions of loyal hearts than those very res
pectable men who could see nothing worth
113th (on, and did 1.11.13 China in men
power to block the wheels of government,
but had no words of sympathy for our poor
boys who were perishing in southern prisons
with hunger, and freezing to death for the
want of clothing and fuel. ' Dcserters even
are deserving of more consideration than
the disloyal. If any class of men ought to
go to their own place it is those who, from
choice, never performed an act, nor ofi'ercszl
a prayer or wish that God would bless the
loyal elements who were fighting for the
right against the wrong, for country against
tremn.

After the surrender of Lee, and our boys
began to return to their homes, a certain
class of people had fears that our New Eng-
land morality would be corrupted by those
who had been to the front, battling for the
existence of the nation. * Time has proved
that their fears were groundless Our late
army wm composed of the very best ele-
ments. Just consider for a moment, how
many boys there were connected with the
churcha and sunday schools in Norwalk,
who left the endearments of home and
friends and went to battle against treason.
Why. nearly every one of those boys were
praying boys. During a twelve months
campaign through the south we heard more
private praying and Christian advice and ex-
hortations than we ever heard before. ' ' *

Comrades, those-were dark and gloomy
days for some of you. Then your scars and
wounds were no pamport to what is now
termed “genteel society." But today, thank
God, you command the respect of every
one, save those who did all in their power
to aid and abet treason. Those young men
who responded so promptly, and fought
with such persistent determination to wipe
out the rebellion, and survived the conflict,
now sand in the front rank for honesty and
thrift amongthe business men of them-
try; andmyou will bcthe leadingmen
ofthetimes. Sevice in the army taught
you self~reliance, which ’3 the secret of we
can everywhere. * ' *

Stephen Hodges, a veteran of the Eighth
Connecticut, followed. He commenced by
referring to the natural reflections that such
a company on and an occasion excite.
“ W'e are here,” he said “ not 111 battle array;
not with bristling steel or with any imple-
ments generally used in warfare ; notto face
the bowling bombshell or the whistling bul-
lets, or to face the cannon shotted to its
very mouth with missiles of death or dis-
traction to life or property; not to absent
ourselves for a long time from home and
near and dear friends, to enter upon the du-
ties or hardships of a soldier‘s life; but to
honor and respmzt those who have done all
this Yea, and more, we are here to honor
those who have laid down their lives that
this government might sustain its position
in the front rank among nations. “'0 come
bringing fragrant flowers, the choicest gifts
to man by nature, to strew their graves in
grateful remembrance to our (lead heroes.
And what a noble work, my friends, it is
that we are engaged in on this beautiful
Sabbath, while God is looking down upon
our work with an approving smile.“

He paid a high compliment to American
citizen soldiers; and said that with such an
army as we once raised and could easily
raise again, America might defy the world.
He compared the situation 00-day with that
of ten years ago. Then we had no experi-
encein war and had made no preparation
for the struggle; traitors were in power;
and our war material had been stolen from
our northern arsenals. Now we have a
united country, a respected national ensign
under whose broad folds every human being
could stand. “ It has been wisely said," he
continued, “ that our national debt is nothing
compared with the debt of gratitude we owe
our patriot soldiers: One we can pay ; the
other we cannot. A civilwnr of four years’
duration, with all its toil, and suffering, and
hardships, and sacrifice of blood, this is the
price of our liberties.“ He closed with a
glowing tribute to the work and sacrifice of
woman for the cause of liberty. He read
by request the roll of Company ll. Eighth
Reg. Connecticut Veteran Volunteers, of
which the following is a list of the killcd:

Douglass Fowler, M. S. Lyon, G. If. Ben.
nett, J. Cockcfur. S. II. Ferris, Jas. Glynn,
S. Godfrey, John Ilanford, G. A. Hoyt, C.
II. ilill, Peter Pound, Henry Raymond,
Henry Smith, C. H. Taylor, C. E. Merrill.
Richmond Thomas.

At the close of his address the ceremony
of decorating graves was performed, and
the company dispersed.
