The war ended and peace restored, the Union preserved in its integrity those sons of Carroll who had volunteered their lives in defence of their government, who were spared to see the army of the Union victorious, returned to their homes to receive grand ovations and tributes of honor from friends and neighbors who had eagerly and jealously followed them wherever the fortunes of war called. Exchanging their soldiers' uniforms for citizens' dress, they fell back to their old avocations-on the farm, at the forge, the bench, in the shop, and at whatever else their hands found to do. Brave men are honorable always, and no class of Carroll's citizens are entitled to greater respect than the volunteer soldiery, not alone because they were soldiers in the hour of their country's peril, but because in their associations with their fellow-men their walk is upright, and their honesty and character without reproach.
DAME'S RESOLUTIONS.
In 1863, D. W. Dame, of Lanark, was chosen to represent the people of Carroll County in the popular branch of the general assembly of the state. On the 18th day of January, 1865, Mr. Dame introduced the fol- lowing series of resolutions, which are copied into these pages as showing the true spirit of the people of the county he represented. These resolu- tions are clear and expressive, and the sentiment they represented in 1865

is just as full and strong in 1878 as when first spread upon the house journal :
Resolved, by the Senate und House of Representatives, representing the people of the State of Illinois in General Assembly. That the deepest sympathies of the whole people of Illinois are with the families and friends of the following brave and gallant officers. [Then fol- lowed a statement of number of regiment, names of officers, rank, date of death, cause of death]. And with those of the numerous line officers, and the host of non-commissioned officers and privates, who have gloriously fallen upon the battle-field, during the progress of the present war, in defence of their imperiled country and its free institutions; and we hereby tender to them, one and all, the assurance that their noble dead are not and shall not be forgotten ; and that we shall ever tenderly cherish their memories and be proud of their noble deeds, whilst we deeply and sincerely condole with those who mourn for their loved and lost.
Resolved, That our soldiers in the field, who so nobly responded to their country's call in the hour of her peril are entitled to the gratitude of the state. Living, they shall know a nation's gratitude ; wounded, a nation's care; and, dying, they shall forever live in the memory of every true patriot, their widows and children become the objects of the nation's guardianship and watchful care, while posterity shall delight to erect monuments to per- petuate the remembrance of their names and virtues.
Resolved, That the secretary of state transmit to the officers commanding the several regiments and other organizations from this state now in the service of the country, copies of the foregoing resolutions, with a request that they be read to their respective commands ; and that copies be also transmitted to the families of the field officers named in these res- olutions.
Mr. Payne submitted the following amendment :
That the name of every line officer of Illinois regiments killed in the service, or who has died at home from diseases or wounds received in the service, be added to said roll.
Which amendment was accepted by Mr. Dame.
Mr. Streville moved to further amend by inserting:
That the secretary of state be directed to send a copy of said resolutions to Illinois soldiers wherever found; and
On motion of Mr. Ford, the said resolutions, with the pending amend- ments were referred to the committee on militia.
OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION.
Oh! a wonderful stream is the river of time, As it runs through the realm of tears, With a faultless rhythm, and a musical rhyme, And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime, As it blends in the ocean of years.
-B. F. Taylor.
It is not strange that among the pioneer settlers of any new country a deep-seated and since friendship should spring up, that would grow and strengthen with their years. The incidents peculiar to life in a new country -the trials and hardships, privations and destitutions-are well calculated to test not only the physical powers of endurance, but the moral, kindly, generous attributes of manhood and womanhood. They are times that try men's souls, and bring to the surface all that there may be in them of either good or bad. As a rule, there is an equality of conditions that recog- nizes no distinctions. All occupy a common level, and, as a natural conse- quence, a brotherly and sisterly feeling grows up that is as lasting as time, for " a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind." With such a community there is a hospitality, a kindness, a benevolence and a charity unknown and unpracticed among the older, richer and more densely populated common- wealths. The very nature of their surroundings teaches them " to feel each
299
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
other's woe, to share each other's joy." An injury or a wrong may be ignored, but a kindly, generous, charitable act is never forgotten. The memory of old associations and kindly deeds is always fresh. Raven locks may bleach and whiten; full, round cheeks sink and hollow; the fire of intelligence vanish from the organs of vision; the brow become wrinkled with care and age, and the erect form bowed with accumulating years, but the true friends of the "long ago " will be remembered as long as life and reason endure.
The surroundings of pioneer life are well calculated to test the " true inwardness " of the human heart. As a rule, the men and women who first occupy a new country-who go in advance to spy out the land and prepare it for the coming of a future people-are bold, fearless, self-reliant and industrious. In these respects, no matter from what remote section or country they may come, there is a similarity of character. In birth, educa- tion, religion and language there may be a vast difference, but, imbued with a common purpose-the founding and building of homes-these differ- ences are soon lost by association, and thus they become one people, united by a common interest, and, no matter what changes may come in after years, the associations thus formed are never buried ont of memory.
