[214] and respect goes out to the brave men who, in the presence of death, served his guns, and on more than one occasion turned defeat into victory, and by this matchless courage won for him the stars he wore and praise from Stonewall Jackson.

As the star of the Confederacy set behind the hills of Appomattox and victory no longer perched on the tattered banner of his battalion, the soul of the commander took its flight; and standing before the throne of his Maker, amid the hosannas of the angels, received the reward of the just, ‘well done, thou good and faithful servant.’

Mr. President, the memorial window you unveil to-day in this house, dedicated to the service of God, to William Johnson Pegram and the two hundred gallant men who died by his side, is a fit testimonial of the respect and love we will ever bear them.

Headquarters Pegram Battalion Association, Richmond, Va., June 1st, 1887.
