 The removal of Libby Prison from Rich- 
 mond, Va., to Chicago was a project never be- 
 fore equaled in the history of building moving 
 and one that will not be surpassed for years to 
 come. This famous old structure as a Confed- 
 erate prison is too well known to need the repeti- 
 tion of its history, and it is enough to state that it 
 was the palace prison of the South, and during 
 the late war it held more than 40,000 Union offi- 
 cers and enlisted men as prisoners. The project 
 of removing Libby to Chicago was thought of by 
 a well-known Chicago business man who inter- 
 ested a syndicate of his business associates, and 
 as a result they visited Richmond in the latter 
 part of 188S and took a thorough look over the 
 ground. Then it was decided to purchase , 
 gotiations were closed through Rawlings & Rose 
 of Richmond, Va., and the syndicate, with Mr. 
 W. H. Gray as treasurer, commenced to make 
 arrangements for its removal. Mr. Louis M. 
 Hallowell, a well-known and experienced Phila- 
 delphia architect, was engaged to work on the 
 spot. He made all of the working plans for 
 taking the structure apart, shipping it to the cars 
 and rebuilding it in Chicago. The work com 
 menced in December, 1S88, and as the building 
 was taken apart each board, beam, timber and 
 block of stone was numbered and lettered in 
 such a manner that there was not the least trouble 
 about placing these parts correctly together again 
 in rebuilding. The contract'for hauling the ma- 
 terial was given to the Chesapeake & Ohio Rai - 
 road Company, which kept box cars on the York 
 River side-track near the building, and as soon 
 as a carload was ready for shipment it was sealed 
 and sent on its way to Chicago. This required 
 132 twenty-ton cars. In the meantime the mass- 
 ive stone wall of artesian stone, quarried within 
 the city limits of Chicago, had been erected on 
 the Wabash Avenue front of the Chicago lot, and 
 after the completion of this the re-erection of 
 Libby Prison commenced and was completed 
 early in September. The Museum was opened 
 to the public September 21st, 1889, and the pa- 
 tronage of the institution from that date to the 
 present time demonstrates that the enterprise of 
 Chicago's business men who took hold of this 
 project is appreciated, and that the Libby Prison 
 
 War Museum is a place well worth visiting 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the old prison is 
 filled with thousands of relics of the late war, new- 
 ones are being added every day, and in the near 
 future this museum wiil Lie second to none in this 
 country. One of the most interesting and im- . 
 portant points about the exhibit in this building 
 is the fact that it contains the most complete and 
 valuable collection of Confederate relics in 
 
 :ce. The present officers of the Libby Prison 
 War Museum Association are C. F. Gunther, 
 President; L. Manasse, Vice-President; C. E. 
 Kremer, Secretary and Treasurer. Directors:

 <#n ff^e (prison ^/ctrcj. 
 
 As the visitor passes through the arch under 
 the massive stone battlement walls the old prison 
 comes into view, and there it stands just as it 
 stood in the capitol city of the Confederacy dur- 
 ing the war of 1S61-1865. It stood in that city at 
 tin- corner of Carey and Twentieth streets, the 
 rear part of the building facing on the James 
 River canal, which was parallel with the river that 
 bears the same name. The building measures 
 132 feet on the front, no feet on the side, is three 
 stories high at the front and four stories at the 
 rear. It contains about 900,000 imported brick. 
 During the war it was guarded on the outside by 
 a few patrolling guards, and a mounted battery 
 always ready for action. Any prisoner that took 
 the liberty of appearing at any of the windows 
 did so at the peril of his life, for strict orders had 
 been given by Major Thomas P. Turner that all 
 prisoners should keep away from the windows, 
 and the guards were ordered to first give a warn- 
 ing to any prisoner caught looking through these 
 barred openings and if the warning was not 
 heeded to shoot the prisoner on the spot. Many 
 a poor prisoner with the hope of obtaining a 
 breath of fresh air or a glimpse of the outer 
 world thus lost his life. The prison as it now 
 stands does not deviate an inch from its original 
 proportions. 
 
 It has been the aim of the management to 
 make the yard surrounding the old prison an in-

 eresting place, in keeping with the interior of the 
 old structure, and toward this aim a number of 
 he larger relics have been placed on exhibition 
 here. Along the front of the building is a line o 
 heavy cannon, such as were used on board some 
 of the war ships and in some of the land fortifi- 
 cations during the war. With these are some 
 specimens of shot and shell and the appliances 
 (shell tongs) used in handling them.

 At the right of the stairway leading to the en- 
 trance of the prison is a battle-scarred section of 
 one of the water batteries, used on the Potomac 
 River during the war for the protection of earth- 
 works. This section consists of five iron plates, 
 each one inch in thickness, and when used was 
 backed up by two solid feet of oak. There is 
 imbedded in the center of this section a solid 
 iron shot weighing 250 pounds, and to the right 
 of this there is also embedded a conical steel 
 shot. These are estimated to have been fired 
 from a distance of one mile. This section weighs 
 8,000 pounds.

 Just at the left of the entrance these is also one 
 of the plates that formed the slanting roof of the 
 Confederate ironclad Merrimac, which so quick- 
 ly sunk the Cumberland (Union sloop of war) 
 March 8, 1862. The same afternoon the Merri- 
 mac easily destroyed the frigate Congress. At 
 sunset that day the Merrimac, the first ironclad 
 of the Confederate service, returned to Norfolk 
 awaiting, the next day, an easy victory over the 
 remainder of the Union fleet. All was delight 
 and anticipation among the Confederates; all 
 was dismay and dismal foreboding among the 
 Federals. That night the Monitor arrived in 
 harbor, and immediately prepared to meet her 
 giant adversary. Early in the morning of the 
 9th, the Merrimac appeared, moving toward the 
 steam frigate Minnesota. Suddenly from under 
 her lee the little Monitor darted out. Startled by 
 the appearance of this unexpected and queer 
 looking antagonist, the Merrimac poured in a 
 broadside, such as had the day before destroyed 
 the Congress, but the balls rattled harmlessly off 
 the Monitor's turret, or broke and fell in pieces 
 on the deck. Then began the battle of the iron 
 ships. It was the first of the kind in the world 
 After several hours of hard battling, the Merri- 
 mac was forced to withdraw. On this battle 
 hinged the fate of the war, for had the Merrimac 
 triumphed, aided by other iron vessels then being 
 built by the Confederacy, she might have de- 
 
 stroyed the rest of the Union fleet in Hampton 
 Roads, reduced Fort Monroe, prevented the 
 Peninsula campaign, sailed along the coast and 
 broken up the blockade, swept through the ship- 
 ping at New York, opened the way for foreign 
 supplies, made an egress for cotton, and perhaps 
 secured the acknowledgement of the Confed- 
 eracy by European nations.

 This interesting old relic was recently received

 mounted an Armstrong rifled gun of 150-pound 
 caliber, and thus mounted was a terror to all 
 Union war ships that approached Fort Fisher in 
 the search or chase for blockade runners. This 
 carriage was presented to Jefferson Davis by Sir

 was thrown overboard rather than let it fall into 
 the hands of the Federal forces. It has re-

 1865 until 1891, when it was raised for the Libby

 This is a section of the great iron chain 
 stretched across the Hudson river, at the nar- 
 rows between West Point and Fort Constitution, 
 by General Israel Putnam in 1776, during the 
 Revolutionary War, to prevent the British vessels 
 from passing up the river. This section consists 
 of eighteen links and forms one of the special 
 exhibits. The links made of iron bars 2K 
 inches square, average in length a little more than 
 2 feet, and weigh about 150 pounds each. The 
 chain was stretched across the river at its nar- 
 rowest point between the rocks, just below the old 
 steamboat landing. It was hitched to huge 
 blocks on each shore, and was buoyed up on 
 very large logs about 16 feet long and pointed at 
 the ends to lessen the opposition to the force of 
 the current. The logs were placed at short dis- 
 tances from each other, the chain carried over 
 them and made fast by staples to each log. 
 There were also a number of anchors dropped 
 at proper distances, with cables made fast to the 
 
 chain to give it a greater stability. This chain 
 •was entirely hand-forged, and is four times as 
 large as any chain manufactured to-day. It was 
 made at an iron works a few miles from where 
 the chain was used. The whole of the chain, 
 with the exception of this section and another 
 small one in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, is still 
 buried in the mud at the bottom of the Hudson 
 River. The chain was originally 1,600 feet long.

 The first room that the visitor enters was the 
 prisoners' reception room, where all prisoners 
 were received when brought from the various 
 battlefields, searched, and assigned to the vari- 
 ous rooms overhead. Maj. Thomas P. Turner's 
 office was in the southwest corner of the build- 
 ing, just where the life-size portrait of him now 
 hangs. Capt. " Dick " Turner (not a relative of 
 Major Turner) had charge of the prisoners as in- 
 spector and Major Turner was the commandan 
 of the prison under General Winder, who had 
 charge of all prisons in Richmond. Both of the 
 Turners are now living. Major Turner is a

 is in the lumber business at Roanoke, Va. 
 Major Turner has visited this museum twice

 Sir Antonio Moro's three-quarter life portrait 
 of Christopher Columbus, recently purchased by 
 Charles F. Gunther and plac d temporarily in 
 the Libby Prison War Museum, Chicago, of 
 which Mr. Gunther is President, was executed 
 about 1543 or 1545 from two miniatures orignally 
 done for the Court of Spain. This portrait was 
 done at this court for Margaret, regent of the 
 Netherlands, and the great navigator undoubt- 
 edly sat for these miniatures from which it v. 
 executed. The painting will be among the ex 
 hibits at the Columbian Exposition. The fa t 
 that it was executed for royalty is proven by the 
 golden crown that surmounts and honors the 
 frame. The execution of the portrait is in the 
 style of the old masters, \ - and Rem- 
 
 brandt, and is remarkable for its colouring and 
 life-like appearance. The frame spoken of 
 above, which was made at the same time as the 
 portrait, is fully as interesting as the canvas. It 
 is fashioned with superb skill and is a grand 
 mass of intricate carving. It is gilded and on 
 the top there is the coat-of-arms and quarterings 
 of Columbus, the oyster shells, the anchor and 
 the sword. 
 
 Unusual importance and value is attached to 
 this portrait from the fact that Moro was one of 
 the masters of his time, and that so great and tal- 
 ented an admirer as Washington Irving, after 
 searching throughout Europe, and also during 
 his long residence in Spain as United States 
 Minister to that court, and known to be a great 
 lover of Spanish history and tradition, on which 
 he has written many volumes, settled upon this 
 picture and placed it as a frontispiece in his re- 
 vised life (1850) of Christopher Columbus. li- 
 ving's search for a portrait for this purpose was 
 by no means a short one. He had access to all 
 the public and private libraries of the kingdom, 
 which were freely opened to him, and it was 
 Moro's famous work that honored that of Irving. 
 The great author, in speaking of the painting, 
 says : " The portrait of Columbus prefaced to 
 the present volume, is from a beautiful picture 
 painted by Sir Anthony Moro for Margaret, 
 Governess of the Netherlands. It was brought 
 to this country about the year 1590 and has been 
 in possession of one family until very recently 
 when it was purchased by Mr. Cribb, of King 
 street, Covent Garden, London. The character- 
 Jtics of the mind and features of Columbus are 
 
 so forcibly depicted in this picture that no doubt 
 can remain but that it is a true and perfect re- 
 semblance of the great navigator." 
 
 Diego Columbus, in his " Hist del Almirante 
 Don Christ Colon : " The Admiral was a man 
 well formed and above the middle height, his 
 head was large, his cheek bones rather high, his 
 cheeks neither fat nor lean, aquiline nose, his 
 eyes small, light blue or gray with the white parts 
 rather inflamed." Mr. Prescott says : " He had 
 a majestic presence, with much dignity and at 
 the same time much affability of manner." Ir- 
 ving continuing says : " The description in the 
 above work freely bears out the above transla- 
 tion and leaves no doubt as to its identity." 
 
 MARGARET. 
 
 Margaret, of Parma, was regent under Philip II, 
 of the Netherlands, and was the illegitimate 
 daughter of Charles V and Margaret van Gest, 
 wife in turn of Alessandro di Medicco, Duke of 
 Florence, and Octavis Farmese, Duke of Parma, 
 and Piacenza, and mother of the celebrated 
 Alessandro Farniese. 
 
 MORO'S LIFE. 
 
 Sir Antonio Moro was born at Utrecht in 1512 
 and in the early part of his life was a scholar ol 
 Jan van Scorel. He afterwards went to Italy 
 where he passed some time in studying the works 
 of Michael Angelo and Raphael. On his return 
 to Holland he devoted himself to an imitation of 
 the style of Holbien, in which he was more suc- 
 cessful. He was recommended to the protection 
 of the Emperor, Charles V, by his countryman, 
 Cardinal Granvelle and in 1552 arrived at the 
 Court of Spain where Prince Philip (afterwards 
 King Philip II) sat for him, and was sent into 
 Portugal to paint the portrait of Philip's first 
 wife, Donna Maria, where he also painted those 
 of John I II. and Catharine of Austria, sister to 
 Charles, which were executed so much to the 
 satisfaction of the Emperor that he was two years 
 afterward sent to England to paint that of Queen 
 Mary, previous to her becoming the second wife 
 of Philip. He returned with Philip to Spain who 
 treated him with an intimacy and familiarity 
 which had nearly proved fatal to him. Philip 
 was accustomed to honor him with a visit when 
 he was painting and in a moment of condescen- 
 sion and admiration slapped him jocosely on the 
 shoulder when the painter indiscreetly drew his 
 
CATALOGUE LIBBY PRISON WAR MUSEUM 
 
 Sir Antonio Moro's 
 brush across the King's hand. The jest was 
 rash and the King was not of a disposition to be 
 played on with impunity. The attendant couriers 
 stared with amazement but Philip passed it over 
 with a smile. The artist threw himself on his 
 knees, begged pardon, and everything appeared 
 to be forgotten, but he was secretly advised to 
 withdraw trom Spain, and he lost no time in re- 
 turning to the Netherlands. The talents of Sir 
 Antonio Moro were not confined to portraits. 
 He painted several historical subjects for the 
 royal collection in Spain, most of which perished . 
 in the conflagration of the palace of the Pardo. 
 He died in Antwerp. Among his better works 
 are the following :

 LIFE OF COIA'M Itl'S. 
 
 Christopher Columbus, discoverer of America, 
 was born at Cogerio, twenty miles west of Genoa 
 
 about 1435, and died at Valladolid, Spain, May 
 20, 1506. lb- was' the eldest son of Domenico 
 Colombo, a cloth weaver, although his ancestors 
 followed the sea. At the age of ten he was sent 
 to the University of Pavia and studied many of 
 the sciences bearing on navigation. Entering 
 the Genoese marine in 1450 he continued in it 
 twenty years. In 1470 he went to Lisbon, where 
 he remained until 1484, supporting himself by 
 drawing charts in conjunction with his brother 
 and making occasional voyages to Madeira, the 
 Canaries, Azores and the Portuguese settlements 
 in Africa. Columbus had by this time matured 
 his views, that the earth was spherical, that Asia 
 extended to the parallel now known as 180 degrees 
 east from ( ireenwich, that a navigable ocean only 
 intervened, and that not more than one-fourth ot 
 the earth's circumference separated Europe and 
 Asia. He applied for aid in finding this western 
 route to India, first to the Republic of Genoa 
 and subsequently to either Alfonso V. or John 
 II. of Portugal. The latter was interested, but 
 his council voted against helping the enterprise. 
 Hopeless of success in Portugal, he set out for 
 Spain with his son Diego, and while awaiting the 
 result of his application for aid to Ferdinand and 
 Isabella he served in the war against the Moors- 
 of Grenada. Finally, with the aid of the Span- 
 ish sovereigns, three small ships were fitted out 
 at Palos and sailed August 3, 14(52. October iz r 
 1402, after having been at sea seventy-one days, 
 the " Pinta " fired a gun, the signal for land. This 
 land he took possession of in the name of the 
 Crown of Castile and named the island San Sal- 
 vador. He also discovered others of the West 
 India Islands and built on the Bay of Caracola a 
 fort with the timbers of the " Santa Maria, "and 
 stationing thirty men in it sailed for Spain Janu- 
 ary 4, 1493, taking with him several of the natives. 
 He was well received by the Spanish sovereigns,, 
 confirmed in all the dignities previously bestowed 
 and given command of seventeen ships and fif- 
 teen hundred men to prosecute the discovery. 
 With this fleet he sailed from Cadiz, September 
 2 5. H93i discovered the Windward Islands, Ja- 
 maica anil Porto Rico, and founded a colony at 
 Hispanola, of which he left his brother Bartholo- 
 mew lieutenant governor, and reached Cadiz 
 June n, 1496. In 1498 he discovered the main 
 land near the mouth of the Orinoco River. He 
 never, however, 'lost the delusion thai il w as the 
 eastern coast of Africa, and he dil d ignorant of 
 the grandeur of his discovery. The discoverer 
 of the New World died at the age of seventy. 
 \ bout 1470, while at Lisbon, he married Felipa, 
 a daughter of Bartholomew di Palestrello, a dis- 
 tinguished Italian navigator.

 The North basement, or cellar, was familiarly known as " Rat Hell." This originally had 
 simply a dirt flooring and it was from the North wall that the tunnel was recommenced. The 
 opening through the wall is still there and the very bricks that were taken from it. The centre 
 room of the three basements contains the cells, four in nnmber, in which prisoners were con- 
 fined for disobedience or for hostages. One of these is entirely without light and was known as 
 the " black hole." The South cellar was not used for any purpose other than storage, and 
 Drisoners had no access to these cellars whatever unless placed in the cells.

 which the new Constitution will have to eticounter, we may reckon the

 the confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer prospects 
 of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial confedera-

 By the flow of the inland river, 
 
 Whence the fleets of iron have fled, 
 Where the blades of the grave grass quiver, 
 Asleep are the ranks of the dead. 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Under the one the blue ; 
 Under the other the gray. 
 
 These in the robings of glory, 
 
 Those in the gloom of defeat, 
 All with the battle-blood gory 
 In the dusk of eternity meet. 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Under the laurel the blue; 
 Under the willow the gray. 
 
 From the silence of sorrowful hours, 
 
 Let the desolate mourners go, 
 Lovingly laden with flowers 
 
 Alike for the friend and the foe. 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Under the roses the blue ; 
 Under the lillies the gray. 
 
 So, with an equal splendor 
 
 The morning sun rays fall, 
 With a touch impartially tender 
 
 On the blossoms blooming for all. 
 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 Waiting fhe judgment day — 
 
 'liroidered with gold the blue; 
 Mellowed with gold the gray. 
 
 So, when the summer calleth 
 
 On forest and field of grain, 
 With an equal murmur falleth 
 The cooling drip of the rain. 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Wet with the rain the blue; 
 Wet with the rain the gray. 
 
 Sadly, but not with upbraiding, 
 
 The generous deed was done ; 
 In the storm of the years that are fading 
 No braver battle was won. 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Under the blossoms the blue ; 
 Under the garlands the gray. 
 
 No more shall the war-cry sever, 
 Or the winding rivers be red; 
 They banish our anger forever 
 
 When they laurel the graves of our dead J 
 Under the sod and the dew, 
 
 Waiting the judgment day — 
 Love and tears for the blue ; 
 Tears and love for the gray.

 The entire land between the Lakes and Gulf, 
 the Atlantic and Pacific, from Maine to Ore- 
 gon, from Rainy Lake to Cape Sable, is the 
 home of the American citizen, and safety of 
 person and protection of property should be 
 extended alike to all, and when we cease to 
 abuse liberty and award her legitimate domain, 
 no cloud will darken our national sky. We 
 urge an examination of points of agreement, 
 
 that a firm friendship and brotherly under- 
 standing be effected or brought about between 
 us. Then points of difference can be weighed 
 more justly, and handled with regard for each 
 other's feelings, and each have an eye to his 
 brother's honor and interests ; then no clash- 
 ing will follow. Let not the Blue despise the 
 Gray, nor the Gray treat with contempt the 
 Blue. Were we brave and willing in the day

 of battle ? So was the wearer of the Gray. 
 Did we cheerfully endure hardships as good 
 soldiers, performing long marches, enduring 
 the sufferings incident to a soldier's life, in 
 time of war, without a murmur, but with com- 
 mendable patience and perseverance? So did 
 the wearer of the Gray. At Cold Harbor, 
 Winchester, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan- 
 cellorsville, Gettysburg, from Bridgeport to 
 Atlanta, Spottsjlvania to Appomattox, were 
 we not faced by foemen worthy of our steel ? 
 Not in the person of foreigners. No ; but in 
 the brothers of our own household. Was it 
 not Greek meeting Greek ? And comrades, 
 
 do we not in heart to-day, grasp with true 
 brotherly affection the hand of him who so 
 honestly and so bravely opposed what you and 
 I with honesty and courage defended? And 
 furthermore, do we not give them a hearty 
 welcome to all the sunshine of liberty, burying 
 beneath the sod of the past whatever may have 
 come between us, and seek to talk and live as 
 brothers — each a blessing to the other ? To 
 talk and write less about points of difference, 
 and more about points of agreement, would 
 soon knit us together as one people, as we 
 never have been knit together before.

 THE REV. HOWARD HENDERSON, D. D. 
 
 I was a soldier of the South. I was with 
 her fortunes until her last banner went down. 
 I. once thought my heart was in the tomb of 
 her heroic dead. I now feel that I best serve 
 the purpose for which they fought and fell, by 
 being true to the issues that survive them. I 
 could inum, in the Pantheon of fame, the ashes 
 of every immolated Southron ; I would blazon 
 an epitaph of eulogy upon every mouldering 
 grave; I would not, by word or deed, have 
 them dishonored. This would be to put a 
 brand on the brow of my own children, for I 
 might too have been in the charnel where they 
 rest. The dead past buried its dead, and their 
 graves are not dishonored. Flowers are twined 
 alike for the blue and the gray. History will 
 embalm them with the same perfume of praise. 
 They fought in a " war of the Roses." They 
 were two knights met at the crossing of the 
 highways where our fathers had set up a shield 
 with golden and sil-vern side. Now, we have 
 the tri colored escutcheon of America — red, 
 white and blue — held in the hand of the god- 
 dess of liberty, whose index finger points to a 
 glorious future along a colonnade of patriotic 
 light. 
 
 Whatever can cement America in the bonds 
 of civic and Christian interest, interprets " the 
 duty of the hour."

 FRANCES WILLARD 
 
 In the spring of 1863 two great armies were 
 encamped on either side of the Rappahannock 
 River, one dressed in blue, and the other 
 dressed in gray. As twilight fell, the bands of 
 music on the Union side began to play the 
 martial music, " The Star Spangled Banner " 
 and "Rally Round the Flag;" and that 
 challenge of music was taken up by those upon 
 the other side, and they responded with " The 
 Bonnie Blue Flag " and "Away Down South 
 in Dixie." It was born in upon the soul of a 
 single soldier in one of those bands of music 
 to begin a sweeter and a more tender air, and 
 slowly as he played it, they joined in a sort of 
 chorus of all the instruments upon the Union 
 Side, until finally a great and mighty chorus 
 swelled up and down our army — " Home, 
 Sweet Home." When they had finished 
 there was no challenge yonder, for every band 
 upon that further shore had taken up the 
 lovely air so attuned to all that is holiest and 
 dearest, and one great chorus of the two great 
 hosts went up to God ; and when they had 
 finished the sweet and holy melody, from the 
 boys in gray there came a challenge, " Three > 
 cheers for home ! " and as they went resound- 
 ing through the skies from both sides of the 
 river, " something upon the soldier's cheeks 
 washed off the stains of powder."

 GENERAL GRANT'S MILITARY SERVICES. 
 
 PROF. A. O. WRIGHT. 
 
 UDGED by what he actually 
 did, Ulysses S. Grant was the 
 
 (s^p4» greatest soldier whom Amer- 
 ica has produced. We cannot 
 ^p consider possibilities. What ca- 
 ip pacities for leadership lay dormant 
 in the obscure millions who carried mus- 
 kets or swords we cannot say. We only 
 know that others failed where Grant 
 succeeded. I have too much faith in 
 God and in the American people to be- 
 lieve that our final success depended 
 upon any one man. Had any one of a- 
 thousand accidents barred the rise of 
 Grant to the chief command of our 
 armies, we should have conquered just 
 the same by force of our numbers and 
 the justice of out cause. But that the 
 end came when it did, and as it did, we 
 owe under divine providence to the skill 
 and the will of Gen. Grant. 
 
 His military history is too familiar to 
 need rehearsal now. Hundreds of thou- 
 sands still survive who helped to make 
 that history, and millions are living now 
 who read that history as it was born 
 amid blood and tears, To them* it 'is no 
 dead fact stored up in dusty .libraries, no 
 tiresome study for the schoolboy; it is a 
 part of their own lives. Vicksburg and 
 Appomattox Courthouse are not to them 
 like Marathon and Thermopylae, vague 
 shadows of the vanished past. Fort 
 Donelson and the Wilderness are historic 
 names to-day. But while 'this genera- 
 tion lives they are more than historic. 
 They are instinct with the life of the 
 heroic present, greater than any heroic 
 
 past. The time shall come when these 
 too shall pass away from the living 
 history engraved upon men's memories, 
 and remain only -in that written tradition 
 in books which we call history, the em- 
 balmed mummy of the real history in the 
 thoughts of men. 
 
 When that time comes, the name of' 
 Grant will still remain as the great 
 chieftain of our' armies, and the victories 
 he won will be studied by soldiers as 
 among the great achievements of military' 
 science. And men will then say of him, 
 that he never lost a battle, that he never 
 retreated, and that when he won a vie- 
 tory be followed it up so as to gather all 
 the fruits of it. He had to face the best 
 generals of the South, acting usually on 
 the defensive, behind strong fortifications, 
 with numbers almost equal to his own, 
 and he always won. Three times a 
 whole army surrendered to him, and no 
 other Southern army surrendered to any 
 other general until after the war was 
 virtually closed. His Vicksburg cam- 
 paign, for its conception and execution, 
 was worthy of Napoleon's best days, and 
 the comprehensive sweep of his plans for 
 crushing out the rebellion, after he was 
 put in supreme command, were greater 
 than Napoleon could have made, for 
 Napoleon's inordinate vanity would 
 never have allowed Sherman to make 
 his brilliant March to the Sea, while he 
 was doing the less striking but more 
 useful work of squeezing the main army 
 of the rebellion to destruction behind its 
 fortifications.

 Up from the south at break of day, 
 Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay, 
 The affrighted air with a shudder bore, 
 Like a herald in haste to the chieftain's door, 
 The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar, 
 Telling the battle was on once more, 
 And Sheridan twenty miles away. 
 And wider still those billows of war 
 Thundered along the horizon's bar, 
 And louder yet into Winchester rolled 
 The roar of that red sea uncontrolled, 
 Making the blood of the listener cold 
 As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray, 
 With Sheridan twenty miles away. 
 
 But there's a road from Winchester town, 
 A good, broad highway leading down ; 
 And there, thro' the flash of the morning light, 
 A steed as black as the steeds of night 
 Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight ; 
 V.s if he knew the terrible need, 
 He stretched away with the utmost speed : 
 Hills ro^e and fell — but his heart was gay, 
 With Sheridan fifteen miles away. 
 Under his spurning feet the road 
 Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed, 
 And the landscape flowed away behind, 
 Like an ocean flying before the wind ; 
 And the steed like a bark fed with furnace-ire 
 Swept on with his wild eyes full of fire; 
 
 But lo ! he is nearing his heart's desire, 
 He is snuffing the smoke of the roaring fray. 
 With Sheridan only five miles away. 
 
 The first that the General saw were the groups 
 Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops ; 
 What was done — what to do — a glance told 
 
 him both, 
 And, striking his spurs with a terrible oath, 
 He dashed down the line 'mid a storm of hur- 
 rahs, 
 And the wave of retreat checked its course 
 
 there, because 
 The sight of the master compelled it to pause, 
 With foam and with dust the black charger 
 
 was gray, 
 By the flash of his eye and his nostril's play 
 He seemed to the whole great army to say: 
 " I have brought you Sheridan all the way 
 From Winchester town, to save the day ! " 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! for Sheridan ! 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! for horse and man ! 
 And when their statues are placed on high, 
 Under the dome of the Union sky — 
 The American soldier's temple of fame — 
 There with the glorious General's name, 
 Be it said, in letters both bold and bright: 
 " Here is the steed that saved the day 
 By carrying Sheridan into the fight 
 From Winchester, twenty miles away !"

 Bright and shining <_>u our resplendent an- 
 nals shall appear the names of those thousands 
 of noble, heroic and self-sacrificing women, 
 •who organized and carried f rward to triumph- 
 ant success a colossal sanitary and charitable 
 scheme, the like of which, in nobility of con- 
 ception and perfectness of execution, the 
 world had never before witnessed, and which 
 carried all around the globe the fame and the 
 name of the women of America. 
 
 From camp to camp, from battlefield to bat- 
 tlefield, through tl long and toilsome march, 
 by day and by night, these sacred charities fol- 
 lowed, and the prayers of the devoted and the 
 true were ceaselessly wiih you through all 
 dangers. 
 
 Leagues and leagues separated you from 
 home, but the blessings there invoked upon 
 you hovered over and around you, and sweet- 
 ened your sleep like angels' visits. 
 
 \\ hile the boy soldier slept by his camp fire 
 at night and dreaming of home, and what his 
 valor would achieve for his country, uttered 
 even in his dreams prayers for the loved ones 
 who had made thnt home so dear to him, the 
 mother dreaming of her son breathed at the 
 same time prayers for his safety, and for the 
 triumph of his cause. The prayers and bless- 
 ings of mother and son, borne heavenward, 
 met in the bosom of their common God and 
 Father .

 All quiet along the Potomac they say. 
 
 Except now and then a stray picket 
 I s shot on his beat as he walks to and fro, 
 
 By a rifleman hid in a thicket. 
 'Tis nothing, a private or two now and then, 
 
 Will not count in the news of the battle 
 Not an officer lost, only one of the men 
 
 Moaning out all alone the death rattle. 
 
 All quiet along the Potomac to night, 
 
 Where the soldiers lay peacefully dreaming, 
 Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn 
 moon, 
 
 Or the light of the watch fires are gleaming 
 A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night wind, 
 
 Through the forest leaves softly is creeping; 
 While stars up above,with their glittering eyes, 
 
 Keep guard, for the army is sleeping. 
 
 There's only the sound of the lone sentry's 
 tread, 
 
 As he tramps from the rock to the fountain, 
 And thinks of the two in the low trundle-bed, 
 
 Far away in the cot on the mountain. 
 His musket falls slack, and his face dark and 
 grim, 
 
 Grows gentle with memories tender, 
 As he mutters a prayer for the children asleep — 
 
 For their mother—may Heaven defend her. 
 
 The moon seems to shine just as brightly as 
 then, 
 
 That night when the love yet unspoken 
 Leaped up to her lips — when low murmured 
 vows 
 
 Were pledged, to be ever unbroken. 
 Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes, 
 
 He dashes off tears that are welling, 
 And gathers his gun closer to its place, 
 
 As if to keep down the heart-swelling. 
 
 He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree, 
 
 The footstep is lagging and weary; 
 Yet onward he goes thro' the broad belt ol 
 light, 
 
 Toward the shade of the forest so dreary, 
 Hark ! was it the night-wind that rustl'd the 
 leaves ? 
 
 Was it moonlight so wondrously flashing? 
 It looked like a rifle — Ha ! Mary, good by ! 
 
 And the life-blood is ebbing and plashing. 
 
 All quiet along the Potomac to-night, 
 No sound save the rush of the river; 
 
 While soft falls the dew on the face of the 
 dead— 
 The picket's off duty forever 1
