#&&sx&^ Fold out TO BE ERECTED AT ©iffTs b$ y mi m „ wm INTRODUCTION. [EXTRACT FROM GOVERNOR CURTIN'S ANNUAL MES, SAGE, JANUARY 7, 1864.J After tbe battle of Gettysburg-, in which loyal volunteers from eighteen States, including- Pennsylvania, were engaged, it ap peared to me proper that all those States should unite in estab lishing a Cemetery, on the spot in which their soldiers who had fallen in that conflict, should be honorably interred. I accord ingly appointed David Wills, Esq., of Gettysburg, my agent, and tlirough him., a site was purchased at a cost of $2,475 87, and the conveyances made to the Commonwealth. On communicat ing with the authorities of the other States, they all readily agreed to become parties to the arrangement, and on the l!)tb day of No vember last, tbe Cemetery was dedicated, with appropriate cere monies, in tbe presence of tbe President of the United States, the Governors of the States concerned, and other high officers, State and National. On tbe 19th day of December, on the invitation of Mr. Wills, commissioners representing the Stales interested in. the Cemetery, met in Harrisburg, and agreed niton a plan for its improvement and care in the future, and the apportionment of ttfre sum of money required; to the several States, which is here with communicated. The expenses attending the establishment of this Cemetery, including tbe cost of the site and of removing the bodies of the slain, have thus far amounted to $5.20';) 38, and an appropriation will be required to pay these expenses, and to meet our portion of those attending its future maintenance. It will appear by the proceedings of the commissioners, that their due proportion of the expenses already incurred, are to be refunded by the States on whose account they were made. It is just to say, that Mr. Wills has discharged his delicate and important duties with fidelity and to my entire satisfaction. REPORT OF DAVID WILLS, [MADE TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE SESSION OF 1864.] To tlie Honorable, tlie Committer of the House of Bepresentatives of the Convmonwealtli of Pennsylvania, on the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg : Gentlemen : — In obedience to your request, I haye the honor to submit the following- report on the subject of the Soldiers' National Cemetery, at Gettysburg: The design of locating a place for the decent interment of the remains of our soldiers who fell in defence of the Union, in the battle of Gettysburg, was originated soon after that bloody con flict, in July last ; but was not consummated by the purchase of the grounds for the purpose until August. A persistent effort was made by persons here, to have the soldiers buried in grounds controlled by the local cemetery association of this place. The plan proposed having the burials made at a stipulated price, to be paid the cemetery association. Failing in this project, these per sons endeavored to connect the two cemeteries, so that they should both be in one enclosure, and all under the control, supervision and management of the local cemetery association. As the agent of his Excellency, the Governor of Pennsylvania, I was in com munication, by letter, and personally, for some time, with the rep resentatives and citizens of other States, in reference to this pro posed plan, and all were of the decided opinion that the Soldiers' Cemetery should be entirely distinct and disconnected from the local cemetery; that, to ensure success in obtaining concert of action among all the States, it must be made an independent cemetery, and the control and management of it be retained by the States interested. This whole matter was very thoroughly and impartially canvassed and discussed, and this conclusion ar rived at and adopted. The grounds were subsequently laid out, 6 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. and the burials made in view of the National character of tlie project. His Excellency, Gov. Curtis, having authorized me to buy grounds, and invite the other States interested to unite in the re moval of the dead, and improving the grounds, I immediately endeavored to purchase land on Cemetery Hill, and, after much difficulty, succeeded in buying five different lots lying on Ceme tery Hill, on the west side of the Baltimore turnpike, adjoining t,he local cemetery on the north and west. It is the ground on which the centre of our line of battle rested July 2d and 3d, and one of the most prominent and important positions on the whole battle field. The lots were purchased for different prices per acre,. according to their location, but all at a very reasonable market price. Two lots were bought at the rate of $225 per acre ; one for $200 per acre; one for $150 per acre, and one for $135 per acre. The whole embraces about seventeen acres, and for the exact area and amount in each purchase, I refer you to the deeds on file in the Auditor General's office. The Cemetery having assumed a National character, by being- independent of any local controlling influences, the Governors of all the States having soldiers lying on this battle field, after much correspondence and conference through commissioners sent here for the purpose, committed their States to the project. I then made arrangements with Mr. William Saunders, an eminent landscape gardener, to lay out the grounds in State lots, appor tioned in size according to the number of marked graves each State had on this battle field. This number was obtained by hav ing a thorough search made for all the graves, and a complete list of the names accurately taken. The grounds were accordingly very neatly and appropriately laid out, and I refer you to the map of them. To preserve their identity, I deemed it very important to have the removals of the dead made as soon as possible. The marks at the graves were but temporary ; in many instances, a small rough board, on which the name was feintly written with a lead pencil. This would necessarily be effaced by the action of the weather, and the boards were also liable to be thrown down and lost. The graves which were unmarked were in many instances level with the surface of the earth, and the grass and weeds were SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 7 -growing over them; and in the forests, the fall of the leaves in the autumn would cover them so that they might be entirely lost. I, therefore, issued proposals for giving out the contract for disin terring, removing and burying in the National Cemetery, all the Union dead on this battle field. Thirty-four bids were handed in, varying, in amount, from $1 59 to $8. I awarded the work to F. W. Biesecker, the lowest bidder, for $1 59 per body. His duties are fully set forth in the specifications, which are embodied in the •contract. I take pleasure in saying, that the work under this contract has been done with great care and to my entire satisfac tion. This is owing in part to the great care and attention be stowed by Mr. Samuel Weaver, whom I employed to superin tend the exhuming of the bodies. Through his untiring and faithful efforts, the bodies in many unmarked graves have been identified in various ways. Sometimes by letters, by papers, re ceipts, certificates, diaries, memorandum books, photographs, marks on the clothing, belts, or cartridge boxes, &c, have the names of the soldiers been discovered. Money, and other valua bles, have frequently been found, which, where the residence of the friends is known, have been immediately sent to them. Those not returned to the friends are carefully packed up and marked, and every effort wall be made to find the friends of the deceased and place these articles in their possession. Words would fail to .describe the grateful relief that this work has brought to -many a sorrowing household ! A father, a 'brother, a son has been lost on this battle field, supposed to be killed, but no tidings whatever have the bereaved friends of him. Suddenly, in the progress of this work, his remains are discovered by sure marks, letters pro bably, photographs, &c, and they are deposited in a coffin with care, and buried in this very appropriate plaee, on the battle field where he fell, the Soldiers' National Cemetery. There his grave will be properly cared for and permanently marked. The friends, who have probably written me several letters of inquiry, are immediately informed of the discovery. What a relief from agonizing hope and despair such certain information brings ! After purchasing the grounds, I made application to the Secre tary of War for coffins for the burial of these dead, and he at once approved of the application, and directed the Quartermaster Gen eral to furnish the number required for the purpose. 8 soldiers' national cemetery. These Cemetery grounds Were solemnly dedicated to their pre sent sacred purpose, by appropriate and imposing ceremonies, oh Thursday, the 19th of November last. The public prints oi" that week contained Ml accounts of the proceedings, I refer you,' also, to the accompanying proceedings embraced in this volume* I requested the Governors of the several States, having lots in the Cemetery, to appoint commissioners to assemble at Harris burg, on the 17th of December last, to adopt some uniform plan for the action of the Legislatures of the different States. Twelve States were represented, and the other five signified, in advance, their assent to any reasonable action of the convention. I here with refer you to the report of the proceedings of the convention. The estimated expenses of finishing the Cemetery, are $63,500, and it is proposed to divide this sum among the different States hav ing lots in the Cemetery, in the ratio of their representation in Congress. The Legislatures of the other States are acting in this matter, and making the appropriations in the proportions as above indi cated. Besides making this appropriation, an additional duty de volves upon the Legislature of Pennsylvania. For the manage ment and care of the grounds, and the completion of the work, it is necessary to have a corporate body, and the State of Penn sylvania is requested, through her Legislature, to establish, byher letters patent, this corporation of "The Soldiers' National Cemetery. This should be done without delay. It will neces sarily require some time for the board of managers to meet and organize, and in the meantime the work which should be pro gressing is delayed. It is especially desirable that the Legislature act upon, this matter at once, so that the organization may be per fected. Upon this board of managers, composed of one from each. State having soldier-dead here, will devolve the completion of the project, and the future care of the grounds. I herewith submit a list of the names of the soldiers buried in the Pennsylvania lot. The whole number is five hundred and thirty-four (534.) The total number buried in the Cemetery, is thirty-five hundred and sixty-four (3,564.) I also submit a list giving the number buried in each State lot, and in the ground set apart for the Regulars and the Unknown. I also submit, herewith, for your satisfaction, the following in- soldiers' national cemetery. 9 teresting reports : Firsts — that of Mr. William Saunders, the de signer of the grounds. Second- — the report of Samuel Weaver, the superintendent of the exhuming of the bodies. Third — the report of Joseph S. Townsend, the superintendent of interments in the Cemetery, and the surveyor. I also transmit the names of persons upon whose bodies articles were found, referred to in Mr. Weaver's report, containing a description of the articles obtained. All of which is respectfully submitted.. DAVID WILLS, Agent for A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pemi'd. Gettysburg, March 21, 1864, 10 -SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OE DAVID WILLS, [MADE TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE LEGISLATURE OF 1S66.] To the Honorable, the Committee of the House of Bepresentatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, appointed to revise the report of the Committee relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery, made March 31, 1864: Gentlemen : — At yoxu- suggestion, I take pleasure in submit ting the following additional facts in reference to the Soldiers' National Cemetery : In the month of April last, (1864,) the commissioners (one from each State) met and organized, in accordance with the provisions of the act of Assembly of this Commonwealth, incorporating the Soldiers' National Cemetery, and elected David Wills, of Pennsylvania, President, and John E. Bartlett, of Rhode Is land, Secretary. Arrangements were then made for commencing the work of en closing the grounds, and an Executive Committee was appointed, to whom was referred the details of the work. The Board met again in June, and a large number of designs for a monument, to be erected in the Cemetery, was submitted to them. These designs were obtained from the best artists iu the country, by a committee appointed for that purpose, who adver tised for them through the press. After mature deliberation, the hoard adopted the design proposed by J. G. Batterson, of Hart ford, Connecticut. I herewith submit a lithograph, together with an artistic description of the adopted design. The board has not yet entered into a contract for the construction of this monument, but expect to do so during this year. The enclosure around the Cemetery grounds is nearly completed. It consists of a well built stone wall, surmounted with heavy dress ed capping stone. This wall extends along the south, west and soldiers' national cemetery. 11 north sides of the grounds. The division fence between the Sol diers' National Cemetery and the local cemetery, is of iron, and is already put up complete. The front fence and gate way is of ornamental iron work, and ready to put up, as soon as the weather will admit of it. The gate lodge is also built. The grounds have been graded and prepared for the planting of the trees, in part, this spring. They cannot all be planted, unril the work of constructing the monument and headstones is finished. A contract has been entered into for putting up the headstones, and the work has been commenced. It is a large contract, cost ing over $20,000 00, and will take a year to complete; When finished, it will make a most permanent and durable piece of work. The report of William Saunders, accompanying my report made to the committee last winter, explains the manner of putting up these headstones. The amount of money drawn from the different States, up to the 30th of last November, was $28,045 95, and the amount ex pended to the same date, was $23,851 09. A detailed report of the receipts and expenditures was made'by the Board, and a copy thereof sent to each of the Governors of the several States, repre sented in the Cemetery. I refer you to this report, on file in the Executive Chamber, for further details. I herewith furnish you with a complete list of the names of the dead, buried in the Soldiers' National Cemetery, so far as the bodies were identified. After a laborious correspondence, and through the aid of the different members of the Board, I have made many corrections in the spelling of the names, and in tho number of the regiment and letter of the company of the deceased soldier; but there are doubtless still some inaccuracies in the •list. I respectfully suggest that you have this whole list printed in your report. These men came here from the east and from the west, stood side by side, and fought and fell in one common cause and for one common country, irrespective of State organizations or 'geographical lines,' and their dust is now in common, mould ering together on this National Battle Field. Then let their names all be published together in your report, and make one record. — Well was it said by the lamented Everett, as he stood over these honored graves, "All time is the millenium of their glory." Tlieir 12 soldiers' national cemetery. names and the record of their deeds, will make one of the brightest pages of the history of this great struggle ; and they are worthy of all being written in letters of gold.

REMARKS ON THE DESIGN FOR THE SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY, GET TYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA. - In constructing a design for the Cemetery, the following con siderations and details suggested themselves, as objects of para mount importance : First. — The great disparity that exists, with reference to the space required for tlie interments of each State, necessitates a discrimination as to position and extent, while the peculiar sol emnity of the interest attached by each State to each interment, allows of no distinction. Therefore, the arrangement must be of a kind that will obviate criticism as to position, and at the same time possess other equally important requirements and relations to the general design, (a) Second. — The principal expression pf the improvement should be that produced by simple grandeur and propriety, (o) Third. — To arrange the roads, walks, trees and shrubs, so as to answer every purpose required by utility, and realize a pleasing landscape and pleasure ground effect, at the same time paying due regard to economy of construction, as well as to the future cost of maintenance and keeping the grounds, (c) Fourth. — To select an appropriate site for the monument, (d) (a) In order to secure the conditions embraced in the first of the above propositions, a semi-circular arrangement was adopted for the interments. By referring to the plan, the propriety of this mode will, I think, be conceded without farther explanation. The ground appropriated to each State, is part, as it were, of a common centre ; the position of each lot, and indeed of each interment, is relatively of equal importance, the only difference being that of extent, as determined by the number of interments belonging to each State. The coffins are deposited side by side, in parallel trenches. A space of twelve feet is allowed to each parallel, about five feet of which forms a grass path between each row of interments. The configuration of the ground surface is singu larly appropriate at the points selected, falling away in a gradual SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 159 and regular slope in every direction, from the centre to the cir cumference, a feature alike pleasing and desirable. Tn order to secure regularity, the head-stones are precisely alike throughout the entire area of lots, and are constructed so as not to detract from the effect and prominence of the monument. The head stones form a continuous line of granite blocks, rising nine inches above the ground, and showing a face Or width of ten inches on their upper surface. The name, company and regiment being- carved in the granite, opposite each interment, thus securing a simple and expressive arrangement, combined with great perma nence and durability. (b) The prevailing expression of the Cemetery should be that of simple grandeur. Simplicity is that element of beauty in a scene that leads gradually from one object to another, in easy harmony, avoiding abrupt contrasts and unexpected features. Grandeur, in this application, is closely allied to solemnity. Sol emnity is an attribute of the sublime. The sublime in scenery may be defined as continuity of extent, the repetition of objects in themselves simple and common place. We do not apply this epithet to the scanty tricklings of the brook, but rather to the collected waters of the ocean. To produce an expression of gran deur, we must avoid intricacy and^ great variety of parts, more particularly must we refrain from introducing any intermixture or meretricious display of ornament. (c) The disposition of trees and shrubs is such that will ulti mately produce a considerable degree of landscape effect. Ample spaces of lawn are provided ; these will form vistas, as seen from the drive, showing the monument and other prominent points. Any abridgment of these lawns by planting further than is shown in the design, will tend to destroy the massive effect of the group ings, and in time would render the whole confused and intricate. As the trees spread and extend, the quiet beauty produced by these open spaces of lawn will yearly become more striking ; de signs of this character require time for their development, and their ultimate harmony should not be impaired or sacrificed to immediate and temporary interest. Further, to secure proper breadth of scene, few walks or roads are introduced. A main road way or drive of sufficient width courses round the grounds ; a few paths or walks are also provided for facilitating the inspection of 160 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. the interment lots. Eoads and walks are exclusively objects of utility; their introduction can only be justified by direct necessity. (d) The centre of the semi-circle is reserved for the monument. An irregularly shaped belting of dwarf shrubbery borders partially isolate it from the lots. It may be suggested that the style of the monument should be in keeping with the surrounding im provements, showing no effort to an exhibition of cost or ostenta tious display on the one hand, and no apparent desire to avoid reasonable expense on the other. The gateway and gatehouse should also be designed in the same spirit, massive, solid, substantial and tasteful. With regard to the future keeping of the ground, the walks should be smooth, hard and clean, tbe grass kept short, and main tained as clean and neat as the best pleasure ground in the country. No effort should be wanting to attain excellence in this respect. WILLIAM SAUNDEES. Dpp't of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 161 REPORT OF SAMITEL WEAVER. Gettysburg, March 19, 1864. To David Wills, Esq., Agent for A. G. Ourtin, Gov. of Penn'a: Sir: — I herewith submit the following brief report of the results of my labors as the Superintendent of the exhuming of the bodies of the Union soldiers that fell on the battle field of Gettysburg: The contractor commenced the work of exhuming on Tuesday, the 27th of October last, and finished yesterday. The work has been protracted much beyond our original anticipations, by reason of the ground being frozen for a long time during the winter, thus entirely suspending the work, and also by the number of bodies exceeding our first calculations. The number taken up and removed to the Soldiers' National Cemetery is thirty-three hundred and fifty-four (3,354,) and to these add the number of Massachusetts soldiers taken up by the authori ties of the city of Boston, by special contract, amounting to one hundred and fifty-eight, (158,) makes the total number of removals, thirty-five hundred and twelve (3,512) bodies. Of these, nine hundred and seventy-nine were bodies nameless, and without any marks or surroundings to designate the State from which, they volunteered. The rest were, in most instances, marked with boards, on which the name, company, and regiment* were written in pencil, or cut, by their comrades who buried them. In some instances, the regiment to which the soldier belonged was dis covered, and sometimes only the State from which he volunteered; and in these cases they were buried in their appropriate State lot. There was not a grave permitted, to be opened or a body searched unless I was present. I was inflexible in enforcing this rule, and here can say, with the greatest satisfaction to myself and to the friends of the soldiers, that I saw everybody taken 'out of its tem porary resting place, and all the pockets carefully searched ; and H 162 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. where the grave was not marked, I examined all the clothing and everything about the body to find the name. I then saw the body, with all the hair and all the particles of bone, carefully placed in the coffin, and if there was a head-board, I required it to be at once nailed to the coffin. At the same time I wrote the name, company, and regiment, of the soldier, on the coffin, and. numbered the coffin, and entered in my book the same endorsement. This book was re turned to your office every evening, to copy and compare with the daily return made by the Superintendent of the interments in the Cemetery. In these scrutinizing searches, the names of a number of lost soldiers were found. They were discovered in various ways. Sometimes by the pocket diaries, by letters, by names in Bible, or Testament, by photographs, names in pocket- books, descriptive list, express receipts, medals, names on some part of the clothing, or on belt, or cartridge-box, &c, &c. s There were some articles of value found on the bodies ; some money, watches, jewelry, &c. I took all relics, as well as articles of value, from the bodies, packed them up and labelled them, so that the friends can get them. There are many things, valueless to others, which would be of great interest to the friends. I here with submit a list of names of persons and articles found upon them, and you will, no doubt, take means to get information to the friends, by advertisement or otherwise, so that they may give notice where, and to whom, these things shall be forwarded. I have two hundred and eighty-seven such packages. Before we commenced our work, the battle field had been over run by thousands of sorrowing friends in search of lost ones, and many of the graves opened and but partially or carelessly closed. Many of the undertakers who were removing bodies, also performed their work in the most careless manner, invariably leaving the graves open, and often leaving particles of the bones and hair lying scattered around. These things are frequently to be seen on every part of the battle field ; and persons going over it might attribute such work to the contractors, but there cannot be one instance pointed out of such kind of work done by them. Every particle of the body was gathered up by them, and the grave neatly closed over and levelled. The bodies ^ere found in various stages of decomposition. On the battle field of the first day, the rebels obtained possession SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 163 before bur men were buried, and left most of them unburied from Wednesday until Monday following, when our men buried them. After this length of time, they could not be identified. The con sequence was, that but few on the battle field of July 1st, were marked. They were generally covered with a small portion of earth dug up from along side of the body. This left them much exposed to the heat, air, and rains, and they decomposed rapidly, so that when these bodies were taken up, there was nothing re maining but the dry skeleton. Where bodies were in heavy clay soil, or in marshy places, they were in a good state of preservation. Where they were in sandy, porous soil, they were entirely decomposed. Frequently our men were buried in trenches — a shallow ditch — in which they were laid side by side. In several instances the numbers in a trench amounted ^o sixty or seventy bodies. In searching for the remains of our fallen heroes, we examined more than three thousand rebel graves. They were frequently buried in trenches, and there are instances of more than one hun dred and fifty in a trench. In one place it is asserted by a reliable farmer who saw them buried, that there are over two hundred in one trench. I have been making a careful estimate, from time to time, as I went over the field, of the rebel bodies buried on this battle field and at the hospitals, and I place the number at not less than seven thousand bodies. It may be asked how we could distinguish the bodies of our own men from those of the rebels. This was generally very easily done. In the first place, as a general rule, the rebels never went into battle with the United States coat on. They sometimes stole the pantaloons from our dead and wore them, but not the coat. The rebel clothing is made of cotton, and is of a grey or brown color. Occasionally I found one with a blue cotton jean round about on. The clothing of our men is of wool, and blue; so that the body having a coat of our uniform on was a pretty sure indi cation that he was a Union soldier. But if the body were without a coat, then there were other infallible marks. The shoes of the rebels were differently made from those of our soldiers. If these failed, then the underclothing was the next part examined. The ebel cotton undershirt gave proof of the army to whic h he be- 164 SOLDIERS' NATIONAIi CEMETERY. longed. In no instance was a body allowed to be removed wbich had any portion of the rebel clothing on it. Taking all these things together, we never have had much trouble in deciding, with infallible accuracy, whether the body was that of a Union soldier or a rebel. And I here most conscientiously assert, that I firmly believe that there has not been a single mistake made in the re moval of the soldiers to the Cemetery by taking the body of a rebel for a Union soldier. All which is respectfully submitted. SAMUEL WEAVEE. SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 165 REPORT OF JAMES S. TOWNSEND. To David Wills, Esq., Agent for A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania : Sir : — The interments of all the Union soldiers on the battle field of Gettysburg, in the Soldiers' National Cemetery, have been completed in a very satisfactory manner, and accord ing to the terms and specifications of the contract. There has been much delay, for weeks at a time, during the winter, in prose cuting the work, on account of the ground being frozen too hard to dig. Then, occasionally, the wet weather and the snows would stop the work, so that it has been protracted much beyond the time we at first anticipated having it completed. I surveyed and laid out the grounds as designed by Mr. Wm. Saunders, and have since superintended the burials, personally meas'uring the depths of every grave and the proper distance for each coffin. I, also, took the name, company, and regiment of each body, as soon as placed in the ground, personally superin tending the proper marking of the grave, with the appropriate head-board. The graves are all numbered, and the fist of interments of each day was returned to your office for comparison with the list of those taken up in the field, and to be registered daily in a per manent register. The total number of burials in the Cemetery is thirty-five hundred and twelve. I herewith refer you to the registers you have made in your office, for the number buried in each State lot, and in the lots set apart for the United States Eegulars, and the Unknown. All which is respectfully submitted. JAS. S. TOWNSEND, Surveyer and Sutft of Burials. 166 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. DESCRIPTION OF THE GETTYSBURG MONUMENT. The design of the Gettysburg monument is adapted for execu tion either in marble, or in granite and bronze, as may be deemed expedient, the material being of course controlled entirely by the amount appropriated. The whole rendering of the design is in tended to be purely historical, telling its own story, with such sim plicity that any discerning mind will readily comprehend its mean ing and purpose. The superstructure is sixty feet high, and consists of a massive pedestal, twenty-five feet square at the base, and is crowned with a eolossal statue, representing the genius of liberty. Standing upon a three-quarter globe, she raises with her right hand the victor's reath of lam-el, while with her left she gathers up the folds- of our national flag under which the victory has been won. Projecting from the angles of the pedestal are four buttresses, supporting an equal number of allegorical statues, representing, respectively, war, history, peace and plenty. War is personified by a statue of the American soldier, who,. resting from the conflict, relates to History the story of the battle which this ni6nuinent is intended to commemorate. History, in listening attitude, records with stylus and tablet,. the achievements of the field, and the names of the honored dead. Peace is symbolized by a statue of the American mechanic, characterized by appropriate accessories. Plenty is represented by a female figure, with a sheaf of wheat and fruits of the earth, typifying peace and abundance as the sol dier's crowning triumph. The panels of the main die between the statues are to have in scribed upon them such inscriptions as may hereafter be deter mined. The main die of the pedestal is octagonal inform, panelled upon each face. The cornice and plinth above are also octagonal, and are heavily moulded. Upon this plinth rests an octagonal SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 167 moulded base bearing upon its face, in high relief, the National arms. The upper die and cap are circular in form, the die being en circled by stars equal in number with the States whose sons con tributed their lives as the price of the victory won at Gettysburg. 168 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY.

A few days after the terrific battle of Gettysburg, His Excel lency, A. G. Curtin, Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, has tened to the relief of the sick and wounded soldiers, visited the battle field, and the numerous hospitals in and around Gettysburg, for the pm-pose of perfecting the arrangements for alleviating the sufferings and ministering to the wants of the wounded and dying. His official duties soon requiring his return to Harrisburg, he au thorized and appointed David Wills, Esq., of Gettysburg, to act as his special agent iu this matter. In traversing the battle field, the feelings were shocked and the heart sickened at the sights that presented themselves at every step. The remains of our brave soldiers, from the necessary haste with which they were interred, in many instances were but partially covered with earth, and, indeed, in some instances were left wholly unburied. Other sights, too shocking to be described, were occa sionally seen. These appearances presented themselves promis cuously over the fields of arable land for miles around, which would, of necessity, be farmed over in a short time. The graves, where marked at all, were only temporarily so, and the marks were liable to be obliterated by the action of the weather. Such was the spectacle witnessed on going over the battle field — a field made glorious by victory achieved through the sacrifice of the lives of the thousands of brave men, whose bodies and graves were in such exposed condition. And this, too, on Pennsylvania soil! Hu manity shuddered at the sight, and called aloud for a remedy. The idea, accordingly, suggested itself of taking measures to gather these remains together, and bury them decently and in order in a cemetery. Mr. Wills submitted the proposition and plan for this purpose, by letter July 24th, 1863, to his Excel lency, Governor Curtin ; and the Governor, with that profound sympathy, and that care and anxiety for the soldier, which have always characterized hku, approved of the design, and directed a correspondence to be entered into at once by Mr. Wills with the 176 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. Governors of the other States having soldiers dead on the battle field of Gettysburg. The Governors of the different States, with great promptness, seconded the project, and the details of the ar rangement were subsequently agreed upon. Grounds favorably situated were selected by the Agent, and Governor Curtin directed him to purchase them for the State of Pennsylvania, for the spe cific purpose of the burial of the soldiers who fell in defence of the Union, in the battle of Gettysburg, and that lots in this Cemetery should be gratuitously tendered to each State having such dead on the field. The expenses of the removal of the dead, of the lay ing out, ornamenting, and enclosing the grounds, and erecting a lodge for the keeper, and of constructing a suitable monument to the memory of the dead, to be borne by the several States, and as sessed in proportion to the population, as indicated by their repre sentation in Congress. The Governor of Pennsylvania stipulated that the State of Pennsylvania would subsequently keep the grounds in order, and the building and fences in repair. Seventeen acres of land on Cemetery Hill, at the apex of the triangular line of battle of the Union army, were purchased by Pennsylvania for this purpose. There were stone fences upon these grounds, which had been advantageously used by the infantry. On the elevated portions of the ground many batteries of artillery had been planted, which not only commanded the view of the whole line of battle of the Union army, but were brought to bear almost incessantly, with great effect, upon every position of the Eebel lines. We refer the reader to the excellent map of this battle field and its hospitals, in the front of this pamphlet. It was prepared by the Eev. Andrew B. Cross, who is one of the most active and zealous members of the Christian Commission, and who labored faithfully for months in the hospitals at Gettysburg, ministering to the tem poral and spiritual wants of the wounded and dying soldiers. This map gives the locality of the National Cemetery, as well as many other points of interest connected with the battle field. The Cemetery grounds were plotted and laid out in the original and appropriate style indicated by the plate accompanying this description, by the celebrated rural architect, Mr. William Saun ders. Such was the origin of this final resting place for the remains of our departed heroes, who nobly laid down their lives a sacrifice soldiers' national cemetery. 177 on their country's* altar, for the sake of Universal Freedom and the preservation of the Union. Who can estimate the importance to us and all prosterity of their valor and heroism ? Their remains, above all others, deserve the highest honor that a grateful people can bestow on them. Their deeds will live in history long after their bodies have mouldered into dust; and the place where they now lie will be honored, protected, and preserved as a sad, but sacred memento of their brave conduct. The design contemplates the erection of a monument to the mem ory of the dead ; and the situation which seems to meet with the greatest favor is in the centre of the semi-circle of graves. It has been suggested, that each State having dead here should contribute a slab or stone tablet, to be placed in the monument, with the names engraved upon it of those whose graves are not identified, and who consequently are interred in the lots set apart for the un known. The grounds are laid off in lots for each State, proportioned in size to the number of marked graves on the Gettysburg battle field. There is also a lot set apart for the burial of the remains of those who belonged to the regular service. The graves of about one- third of the dead were unmarked ; but these bodies are deposited in prominent and honorable positions at each end of the semi-cir cular arrangement of the lots. The grounds naturally have a gra dual slope in every direction from the centre of the semi-circle to the circumference. Each lot is laid off in sections, with a space of four feet for a walk between each section. The outer section is letter A, and so on in alphabetical order. As the observer stands in the centre of the semi-circle, facing the circumference, the burials are commenced at the right hand of the section in each lot, and the graves are numbered from one up numerically. A register is made of the number, name, regiment and company of the occupant of each grave. Two feet space is allotted to each, and they are laid with their heads toward the centre of the semi-circle. At the head of the graves there is a stone wall, built up from the bottom as a foundation for the headstones, which are to be placed along the whole length of each section, and on which, opposite each grave, will be engraved the name,* regiment and company of the deceased- These headstones will be all alike in size, the design being wholly adapted to asymmetrical order, and one which combines simplicity 178 SOLDIERS' national cemetery. and durability. No other marks will be permitted to be erected. There will be about twenty-nine hundred burials in the Cemetery. An application was made by Mr. Wills to Hon E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, for coffins for the interment of the dead, and the Quartermaster General was promptly ordered to furnish them. The Secretary of War, also, with a liberal considerateness, afforded many facilities for the proper and honorable solemnization of the exercises of the 19th of November. The removals and burials are made with the greatest care, and under the strictest supervision. Every precaution is taken to identify the unmarked graves, and and also to prevent the marked graves from losing their identity, by the defacement of the original temporary boards, on whioh the names were written or cut by comrades in arms. The graves being all numbered, the numbers are registered every evening in a record book, with the name, company and regiment. This register will designate the graves, should the temporary marks become defaced by the action of the weather, or be otherwise lost before the per manent headstones are put in place. After the burials are all made, the graves are all permanently marked, and the style of monument determined upon, a map will be prepared and litho graphed, showing the number of each grave in each section, and a key be published with the map, giving the full inscription on the headstone, corresponding with the number. A few of the States sent agents to Gettysburg to superintend the removal and burial of their dead, while the most of them en trusted the arrangements for that purpose to the Agent of the State of Pennsylvania. The Boston city authorities, in concert with the Governor of Massachusetts, sent an efficient committee to Gettysburg, who made the removals of the Massachusetts dead by their own special arrangement. The consecration of these Cemetery grounds was, in due time, suggested by Governor Curtin. The name of Hon. Edward Everett was submitted to the Governors of all the States inter ested, as the orator to deliver the address on that occasion, and they unanimously concurred in him as the person eminently suit able for the purpose. A letter of invitation was accordingly ad dressed to him, inviting him to deliver the oration. He accepted the duty, and the 19th of November was fixed upon as the day. Hon. W. M. Lamon, the United States Marshal for the District of soldiers' national cemetery. 179 Columbia, was selected as the Chief Marshal of the civic procession, and to Major General D. N. Couch, commanding the Department of the Susquehanna, were committed the arrangements for the military. To all of these gentlemen great credit is due, for the admirable manner in which they discharged the duties of the po sition assigned them. Birgfield's Brigade Band, of Philadelphia, was invited to furnish the music for the ceremonial of consecration, which was done gratuitously, and in a very acceptable manner. The Presidential party was accompanied by the Marine Band, from the Navy Yard at Washington, and the military detachment was attended by the Brass Band from Port M'Henry, Baltimore. The public generally were invited to be present and participate in these solemn exercises, and special invitations were sent to the President and Vice President of the United States, and the members of the Cabinet— to Major General George G. Meade, commanding the army of the Potomac, and, through him, to the officers and privates of that army which had fought so valiantly, and gained such a memorable victory on the Gettysburg battle field — and to Lieutenant General Winfield Scott and Admiral Charles Stewart, the distinguished and time honored represen tatives of the Army and Navy. The President of the United States was present, and participated iu these solemnities, deliv ering a brief dedicatory address. The occasion was further made memorable by the presence of large representations from the army and navy, of the Secretary of State of the United States, the Min isters of Prance and Italy, the French Admiral, and other distin guished foreigners, and several members of Congress, also, of the Governors of a large number of the States interested, with their staffs, and, in some instances, large delegations, besides a vast concourse of citizens from all the States. Letters were received, in reply to the invitations addressed to them, from Major General Meade, Lieutenant General Scott, Ad miral Charles Stewart, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. S. P. Chase, regretting their inability to be present, and expres sive of their appoval of the project. One of the most sad and impressive features of the solemnities of the 19th of November was the presence, in the procession and on the grounds, of a delegation of about fifty wounded soldiers of the army of the Potomac, from the York hospital. These men had 180 SOLDIERS' national cemetery. been wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, and were present in a delegation to pay this just tribute to the remains of their fallen comrades. During the exercises, their bronzed cheeks were fre quently suffused with tears, indicative of their heartfelt sympathy in the solemn scene before them. From none others could tears of unfeigned grief fall upon these graves with so much sad appre ciation. ,, These scarred veterans came and dropped the tear of sor row on the last resting plase of those companions by whose sides they so nobly fought, and, lingering over the graves after the crowd had dispersed, slowly went away, strengthened in their faith in a nation's gratitude. soldiers' national cemetery. 181 CORRESPONDENCE. Gettysburg, August 17, 1863. To his Excellency, A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania: Sir: — By virtue of the authority reposed in me by your Excel lency, I have invited the co-operation of the several loyal States having soldier-dead on the battle field aroimd this place, in the noble project of removing their remains from their present exposed and imperfectly buried condition, on the fields for miles around, to a cemetery. The chief executives of fifteen out of the seventeen States have already responded, in most instances, pledging their States to unite in the movement ; in a few instances, highly approving of the project, and stipulating to urge upon the Legislatures to make ap propriations to defray their proportionate share of expense. I have, also, at your request, selected and purchased the grounds for this Cemetery, the land to be paid for by, and the title to be made to, the State of Pennsylvania, and to be held in perpetuity, devoted to the object for which it was purchased. The grounds embrace about seventeen acres on Cemetery Hill, fronting on the Baltimore turnpike, and extending to the Taney- town road. It is the ground which formed the apex of our triangu- lar line of battle, and the key to our line of defences. It embraces the highest point on Cemetery Hill, and overlooks the whole bat tle field. It is the spot which should be specially consecrated to this sacred purpose. It is here that such immense quantities of our artillery were massed, and during Thursday and Friday of the battle, from this most important point on the field, dealt out death and destruction to the Eebel army in every direction of their advance. I have been in conference, at different times, with agents sent here by the Governors of several of the States, and we have ar- 182 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. ranged details for carrying out this sacred work. I herewith en close you a copy of the proposed arrangements of details, a copy of which I have also sent the chief executive of each State hav ing dead here. I have, also, at your suggestion, cordially tendered to each State the privilege, if they desire, of joining in the title to the land. I think it would be showing only a proper respect for the health of this community not to commence the exhuming of the dead, and removal to the Cemetery, until the month of November ; and in the meantime the grounds should be artistically laid out, and consecrated by appropriate ceremonies. I am, with great respect, Your Excellency's obedient servant, DAVID WILLS. Pennsylvania, Executive Chamber, ) Harrisburg, August 31, 1863. } Dear Sir : — Yours of the 26th instant was duly received, and ought to have been answered sooner, but you know how I am pressed. I am much pleased with the details for the Cemetery which you have so thoughtfully suggested, and will be glad, so far as is in my power, to hasten their consummation on the part of Pennsylvania. It is of course probable that ©ur sister States, joining with us in this hallowed undertaking, may desire to make some alterations and modifications of your proposed plan of purchasing and managing these sacred grounds,, and it is my wish that you give to their views the most careful and respectful consideration. Pennsylvania will be so highly honored by the possession within her limits of this Soldiers' mausoleum, and so much distinguished among the other States by their contributions in aid of so glorious a monument to patriotism and humanity, that it becomes her duty, as it is her melancholy pleasure, to yield, in every reasonable way, to the wishes, and suggestions, of the States who join with her in dedi cating a portion of her territory to the solemn uses of a National sepulchre. The proper consecration of the grounds must claim our early attention ; and, as soon as we can do so, Our fellow-purchasers SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 183 should be invited to join with us in the performance of suitable ceremonies on the occasion. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, A. G. CUETIN. David Wills, Esq. Gettysburg, Pa., September 23, 1863. Hon. Edward Everett : Sir : — The several States having soldiers io. the army of the Potomac, who fell at the battle of Gettysburg, in July last, gal lantly fighting for the Union, have made arrangements here for the exhuming of all their dead, and their removal and decent burial in a Cemetery selected for that purpose, on a prominent part of the battle field. The design is to bury all in common, marked with headstones, with the proper inscription, the known dead, and to erect a suita ble monument to the memory of all these brave men, who have thus sacrificed their lives on the altar of their country. The burial ground will be consecrated to this sacred and holy purpose on Thursday, the 23d day of October next, with appro priate ceremonies ; and the several States interested, have united in the selection of you to deliver the oration on that solemn occa sion. I am therefore instructed, by the Governors of the different States interested in this project, to invite you cordially to join with them in the ceremonies, and to deliver the oration for the occasion. Hoping to have an early, and favorable reply from you, I remain, sir, your most obedient servant, DAVID WILLS, Agent for the Governor of Pennsylvania. Boston, September 26, 1863. My Dear Sir: — I have received your favor of the 23d instant, inviting me, on behalf of the Governors of the States interested in the preparation of a Cemetery for the soldiers wrho fell in the 184 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. great battles of July last, to deliver an address at the consecra tion. I feel much complimented by this request, and would cheer fully undertake the performance of a duty at once so interesting and honorable. It is, however, wholly out of my power to make the requisite preparation by the 23d of October. I am under en gagements which will occupy all my time from Monday next to the 12th of October, and, indeed, it is doubtful whether, during the whole month of October, I shall have a day at my command. The occasion is one of great importance, not to be dismissed with a few sentimental or patriotic commonplaces. It will demand as full a narrative of the events of the three important days as the limits of the hour will admit, and some appropriate discussion of the political character of the great struggle, of which the battle of Gettysburg is one of the most momentous incidents. As it will take me two days to reach Gettysburg, and it will be highly desirable that I should have at least one day to survey the battle field, I cannot safely name an earlier time than the 19th of November. Should such a postponement of the day first proposed be ad visable, it will give me great pleasure to accept the invitation. I remain, dear sir, with much respect, Very truly yours, EDWAED EVEEETT. David Wills, Esq., Agent for the National Cemetery. Note. — In compliance with Mr. Everett's suggestions, as expressed in the forego ing letter, Thursday, the 19th of November, was appointed for the ceremonial of the consecration. Gettysburg, November 25, 1863. Hon. Edward Everett : Dear Sir: — On behalf of the Governors of the several States interested in the National Cemetery, I request of you for publi cation a copy of your Address delivered at the consecration of the grounds on Thursday, the 19th of this month, the proceeds of the sale to be added to the fund for the erection of a monu ment to the memory of the heroes whose remains are deposited in the Cemetery. SOLDIERS' national cemetery. 185 In performing this official duty, allow me as a citizen of Get tysburg, and in behalf of my fellow citizens, to express our pecu liar satisfaction at that part of your Address, which is devoted to a narrative of the all-important events, that have at once raised this place into permanent importance and celebrity. Knowing as we do that you used great diligence and care to procure as ac curate an account as possible of the movements of the two armies in this vicinity, and their positions in the battle on the different days, we regard that portion of your Address as very important and valuable. Whilst its delivery commanded the closest atten tion of the vast assembly who listened to it — thus giving evidence of their intense interest and entire appreciation — this portion of the Oration, preserved in an authentic form, will descend to pros- terity as a production of permanent historical value. Allow me, also, to express my gratification at the tribute paid by you to Major General Eevnolds, in ascribing "to his fore thought and self-sacrifice the triumph of the two succeeding days." In that well-deserved tribute the historian, who shall do justice to the battle of Gettysburg, will undoubtedly concur, pointing to him as the individual to whom our glorious success was in a great degree due. He was in the advance on the extreme left of the army of the Potomac, and in command of the First Army Corps. On Wednesday morning, July 1st, when pressing his corps forward to meet and retard the progress of the enemy, whose position and movements were beginning to be developed to him, he told one of his aides, as they approached Gettysburg and examined the face of the country, that Cemetery Hill must be held for our army at all hazards ; that he would advance his corps rapidly to Semi nary Eidge, west of the town, and temporarily occupy that posi tion ; that he would there engage the enemy, who was advancing, and delay his further progress, so as to give time for the whole of the army of the Potomac- to concentrate on Cemetery Hill and the ridges running out either way from it ; that, if pressed too hard, he would gradually fall back, contesting the ground step by step, and, if necessary to delay the enemy, would fight from house to house, through the town. He fell, the victim of a rebel sharpshooter, so soon in the action of Wednesday morning, as he was carrying out these designs, that but few persons are cognizant of his real plans. When the facts are fully made known, 186 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. history and an impartial world will accord to him the highest praise. His great foresight and brave conduct on that occasion will forever endear him to those who love to worship at the shrine of true patriotism. He was truely a soldier — always with his men in the camp and in the field, sharing their hardships, toils and dangers. He loved his profession, and devoted himself exclu sively to it ; and in the vigor of manhood he nobly laid down his life, a sacrifice on his country's altar, on the soil of his native State, at the head of his brave corps, that the rest of the army of the Potomac might the more successfully reach the position of his own selection for its defence. This place of his choice proved to be the true position on which to meet and check the onward march of the rebellious invaders. Not doubting that you will take an interest in this confirmation of the estimate placed by you on General Eeynolds's services, I remain, dear sir,. Yours, with great respect, DAVID WILLS. Boston, December 14, 1863. My Dear Sir : — I have this day received your letter of the 25th of November, requesting, on behalf of the Governors of the sev eral States interested in the National Cemetery, a copy, for publi cation in a permanent form, of the address delivered by me at the consecration. I shall have great pleasure in complying with this request, the rather as it is proposed that the proceeds of the publi cation shall be added to the fund for the erection of a monument to the memory of the brave men whose remains are deposited in the Cemetery. You will be pleased to accept my thanks for the obliging manner in which you speak of the historical portion of my Address. It was, of course, impossible to compress within so small a compass a narrative of the three eventful days, which should do exact jus tice to every incident or every individual. On some points, as in most narratives of battles, the printed accounts, and even the offi cial reports, differ. In revising my address for publication in this form, I shall correct one or two slight errors of the first draught > SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 187 and take advantage of sources of information not originally acces sible. I am much gratified with your concurrence with me in the esti mate I had formed of the character of General Eeynolds, and of his very important services in determining the entire fortunes of this ever memorable battle. I remain, dear sir, with great regard, Very truly yours, EDWAED EVEEETT. David Wills, Esq., Agent for the National Cemetery. Head-Quarters Army of the Potomac, ) November 13, 1863. \ David Wills, Esq., Agent for the Governor of Pennsylvania, etc.: Sir: — I have the honor to acknowledge the invitation which, on behalf of the Governor of Pennsylvania and other States in terested, you extend to me and the officers and men of my com mand, to be present on the 19th instant, at the consecration of the burial place of those who fell on the field of Gettysburg. It seems almost unnecessary for me to say that none can have a deeper interest in your good work than comrades in arms, bound in close ties of long association and mutual confidence and support with those to whom you are paying this last tribute of respect ; nor could the presence of any be more appropriate than that of those who stood side by side in the struggle, shared the peril, and the vacant places in whose ranks bear sad testimony to the loss they have sustained. But this army has duties to per form which will not admit of its being represented on the occa sion; and it only remains for me in its name, with deep and grate ful feelings, to thank you and those you represent, for your tender care of its heroic dead, and for your patriotic zeal, which, in hon oring the martyr, gives a fresh incentive to all who do battle for the maintenance of the integrity of the government. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, GEOEGE G. MEADE, Major General Commanding. 188 soldiers' national cemetery. New York, November 19, 1863. David Wills, Esq., Agent, etc. : Dear Sir : — I have had the honor to receive your invitation, on the part of the Goyernors of the loyal States, to be present at the consecration of the Military Cemetery at Gettysburg this day. Besides the determination, on account of infirmities, never again to participate in any public meeting or entertainment, I was too sick at the time to do more than write a short telegram in reply to His Excellency, Governor Curtin. Having long lived with, and participated in the hardships and dangers of our soldiers, I can never fail to honor "the brave who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest." None deserve this tribute from their countrymen, more than those who have fallen in defence of the Constitution, and the Union of the thirty-four United States. I remain yours, Most respectfully, WINFIELD SCOTT. Bordentown, N. J., November 21, 1863. My Dear Sir : — I regret extremely, that, in consequence of the invitation you did me the honor to send me, remaining for several days among the advertised letters in the Philadelphia post office, I was not able to accept the same by appearing in person at the in teresting consecration of the National Cemetery, at Gettysburg, on the nineteenth of this month. On an occasion so solemn, awakening every patriotic emotion of the human heart, I cannot but deplore that I was not able to be present, to shed a fear over the remains of those gallant men, who gave back their lives to their God, in defence of their country. Accept for yourself, my dear sir, and be .pleased to present to the committee, my thanks for your kind invitation, and believe me, with great respect, Your obedient servant, CHAELES STEWAET. To David Wills, Esq, Agent, etc. soldiers' national cemetery. 189 Treasury Department, November 16, 1863. Dear Sir :— It disappoints me greatly to find that imperative public duties make it impossible for me to be present at the con secration of the grounds, selected as the last resting place of the soldiers, who fell in battle for their country at Gettysburg. It con soles me to think what tears of mingled grief and triumph will fall upon their graves, and what benedictions of the country, saved by their heroism, will make their memories sacred among men. Very respectfully yours, S. P. CHASE. David Wills, Esq., Agent for the Governors of the States. In the afternoon of the 18th, the President and the distinguish ed personages accompanying him, arrived at Gettysburg by a special train. In the course of1 the evening, the President and Secretary of State were serenaded, and the following remarks were made by Mr. Seward, in response to the call : — Fellow Citizens : — I am now sixty years old and upwards ; I have been in public life practically forty years of that time, and yet this is the first time that ever any people, or community, sO near to the border of Maryland, was found willing to listen to my voice ; and the reason was that I saw, forty years ago, that sla very was opening before this people a graveyard that was to be filled with brothers, falling in mutual political combat. I knew that the cause that was hurrying the Union into this dreadful strife was slavery; and when, during all the intervening period, I elevated my voice, it was to warn the people to remove that cause while they could, by constitutional means, and so avert the catas trophe of civil war which has fallen upon the nation. I am thank ful that you are willing to hear me at last. I thank my God that I believe this strife is going to end in the removal of that evil, which ought to have been removed by deliberate councils and peaceful means. (Good.) I thank my God for the hope that this is the last fratricidal war which will fall upon the country which is vouchsafed to us by Heaven, — the richest, the broadest, the most beautiful, the most magnificent, and capable of a great des- 190 i SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. tiny, that has ever been given to any part of the human race. (Applause.) And I thank him for the hope that when that cause is removed, simply by the operation of abolishing it, as the origin and agent of the treason that is without justification, and with out parallel, we shall thenceforth be united, be only one country, having only one hope, one ambition and one destiny. (Applause.) To-morrow, at least, we shall feel that we are not enemies, but that we are friends and brothers, that this Union is a reality, and we shall mourn together for the evil wrought by this rebellion. We are now near the graves of the misguided, whom we have consigned to their last resting place, with pity for their errors, and with the same heart full of grief with which we mourn over a brother by whose hand, raised in defence of his government, that misguided brother perished. When we part to-morrow night, let us remember that we owe it to our country and to mankind that this war shall have for its conclusion the establishing of the. principle of democratic govern ment — the simple principle that whatever party, whatever portion of the community, prevails by constitutional suffrage in an elec tion, that party is to be respected and maintained in power until it shall give place, on another trial and another verdict, to a dif ferent portion of the people. If you do not do this, you are drift ing at once and irresistibly to the very verge of universal, cheerless and hopless anarchy. But with that principle this government of ours — th e purest, the best, the wisest, and the happiest in the world — must be, and, so far as we are concerned,. practically will be, im mortal. (Cheers.) Fellow citizens, Good-night. SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 191 ORDER OF PROCESSION CONSECRATION OF THE NATIONAL CEMETERY AT GETTYSBURG, PA., ON THE 19TH OF NOVEMBER, 18G3.

O God our Father, for the sake of Thy Son our Saviour, inspire us with Thy Spirit, and sanctify us to the right fulfilment of the duties of this occasion. We come to dedicate this new historic centre as a National Cemetery. If all departments of the one government which Thou hast ordained over our Union, and of the many governments which Thou has subordinated to our Union, be here represented — if all classes, relations, and interests of our blended brotherhood of people stand severally and thoroughly apparent in Thy presence — we trust that it is because Thou hast called us, that Thy blessing awaits us, and that Thy designs may be embodied in practical re sults of incalculable and imperishable good. And, so, with Thy holy Apostle, and with the Church of all lands and ages, we unite in the ascription, "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God Of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." In emulation of all angels, in fellowship with all saints, and in- sympathy with all sufferers, in remembrance of Thy works, in reve rence of Thy ways, and in accordance with Thy word, we laud and magnify Thine infinite perfections, Thy creative glory, Thy redeeming grace, Thy providential goodness, and the progressively rich and fairer developments of Thy supreme, universal and ever lasting administration. In behalf of all humanity, whose ideal is divine, whose first memory is Thine image lost, and whose last hope is Thine image restored, and especially of our own nation, whose history has been so favored, whose position is so peerless, whose mission is so sub lime, and whose future is so attractive, we thank Thee for the un speakable patience of Thy compassion and the exceeding greatness of Thy loving kindness. In contemplation of Eden, Calvary, and 196 SOLDIERS' national cemetery. Heaven, of Christ in the Garden, on the Cross, and on the Throne; nay, more, of Christ as coming again in ail-subduing power and glory, we gratefully prolong our homage. By this Altar of Sac rifice ; on this Field of Deliverence, On this Mount of Salvation, within the fiery and bloody line of these "munitions of rocks," look ing back to the dark days of fear and trembling, and to the rapture of relief that came after, we multiply our thanksgivings, and con fess our obligations to renew and perfect our personal and social consecration to Thy service and glory. Oh, had it not been for God ! For lo ! our enemies, they came un resisted, multitudinous, mighty, flushed with victory, and sure of success. They exulted on our mountains, they revelled in our valleys; they feasted, they rested; they slept, they awaked, they grew stronger, prouder, bolder, every day ; they spread abroad, they concentrated here ;they looked beyond this horizanto the stores of wealth, to the haunts of pleasure, and to the seats of power in our capitol and chief cities. They prepared to cast a chain of Slavery around the form of Freedom, binding life and death together for ever. Their premature triumph was the mockery of God and man. One more victory, and all was theirs! But behind these hills was heard the feebler march of a smaller, but still pursuing host. Onward they hurried, day and night, for God and their country. Foot-sore, wayworn, hungry, thirsty, faint — but not in heart — they came to dare all, to bear all, and to do all that is possible to heroes. xVnd Thou didst sustain them! At first they met the blast on the plain, and bent before it like the trees in a storm. But then, led by Thy hand to these hills, they took their stand upon the rocks and remained as firm and immovable as they. In vain were they assaulted. All art, all violence, all desperation, failed to dislodge them. Baffled, bruised,, broken, their enemies recoiled, retired, and disappeared. Glory to God for this rescue ! But oh, the slain ! In the freshness and fulness of their young and manly life, with such sweet memories of father and mother, brother and sister, wife and children, maiden and friends, they died for us. From the coasts beneath the Eastern star, fi\mi the shores of Northern lakes and rivers, from the flowers of western prairies, and from the homes of the Midway and Bordir, they came here to die for us and for man kind. Alas, how lit-ic we can do for them! We come with the humility of prayer, vith the pathetic eloquence of venerable wisdom, soldiers' national cemetery. 197 with the tender beauty of poetry, with the plaintive harmony of music, with the honest tribute of our Chief Magistrate, and with all this honorable attendance ; but our best hope is in thy blessing, O Lord, our God ! O Father, bless us ! Bless the bereaved, whether present or absent ; bless our sick and wounded soldiers and sailors ; bless all our rulers and people ; bless our army and navy ; bless the efforts for the suppression of the rebellion ; and bless all the associations of this day and place and scene forever. As the tree* are not dead though their foliage is gone, so our heroes are not dead, though their forms have fallen. In their proper personality they are all with Thee. And the spirit of their example is here. It fills the air : it fills our hearts. And, long as time shall last, it will hover in the skies and rest on this landscape ; and the pilgrims of our own land, and from all lands, will thrill with its inspiration, and" increase and confirm their devotion to liberty, religion, and God. Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. 198 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. ADDRESS OF HON. EDWARD EVERETT. Standing beneath this serene sky, overlooking these broad fields now reposing from the labors of the waning year, the mighty Al- leghenies dimly towering before us, the graves of our brethern beneath our feet, it is with hesitation that I raise my poor voice to break the eloquent silence of God and Nature. But the duty* to which you have called me must be performed ; — grant me, I pray you, your indulgence and your sympathy. It was appointed by law in Athens, that the obsequies of the citizens who fell in battle should be performed at the public ex pense, and in the most honorable manner. Their bones were carefully gathered up from the funeral pyre, where their bodies were consumed, and brought home to the city. There, for three days before the interment, they lay in state, beneath tents of honor, to receive the votive offerings of friends and relatives, — flowers, weapons, precious ornaments, painted vases, (wonders of art, which after two thousand years adorn the museums of modern Europe,) — the last tributes of surviving affection. Ten coffins' of funeral cypress received the honorable deposit, one for each of the tribes of the city, and an eleventh in memory of the unrecognized, but not therefore unhonored, dead, and of those whose remains could hot be recovered. On the fourth day the mournful proces sion was formed ; mothers, wives, sisters, daughters led the way, and to them it was permitted by the simplicity of ancient manners to utter aloud their lamentations for the beloved and the lost ; the male relatives and friends of the deseased followed ; citizens aid strangers closed the train. Thus marshalled, they moved to the place of interment in that famous Ceramicus, the most beau tiful suburb of Athens, which had been adorned by Cimon, the son of Miltiades, with walks and fountains and columns, — whose groves were filled with altars, shrines, and temples, — whose gardens were kept forever green by the streams from the neighboring hills, and SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 199 shaded with the trees sacred to Minerva and coeval with the foun dation of the city, — whose circuit enclosed "the olive Grove of Academe, Plato's retirement, where the Attic bird Trilled his thick-warbled note the summer long," — whose pathways gleamed with the monuments of the illustrious •dead, the work of the most consummate masters that ever gave life to marble. There, beneath the overarching plane-trees, upon a lofty stage erected for the purpose, it was ordained that a funeral -oration should be pronounced by some citizen of Athens, in the presence of the assembled multitude. Such were the tokens of respect required to be paid at Athens to the memory of those who had fallen in the cause of their country. For those alone who fell a,t Marathon a special honor was reserved. As the battle fought upon that immortal field was distinguished from all others in Grecian history for its influence over the for tunes of Hellas, — as it depended upon the event of that day whether Greeee should live, a glory and a light to all coming time, or should expire, like the meteor of a moment; so the honors .-awarded to its martyr-heroes were such as were bestowed by Athens on no other occasion. They alone of all her sons were entombed upon the spot which they had forever rendered famous. Their names were inscribed upon ten pillars, erected upon the monu mental tumulus which covered their ashes, (where after six hun dred years, they were read by the traveler Pausanias,) and al though the columns, beneath the hand .of time and barbaric vio lence, have long since disappeared, the venerable mound still markes the spot where they fought and fell, — "That battle-field where Persia's victim horde First bowed beneath the brunt of Hellas' sword." And shall I, fellow citizens, who, after an interval of twenty- three centuries, a youthful pilgrim from the world unknoAvn to ancient Greeee, have wandered over that illustrious plain, ready to put off the shoes from off my feet, as one that stands on holy ground, — -who have gazed with respectful emotion on the mound which still protects the dust of those who rolled back the tide of Persian invasion, and rescued the land of popular liberty, of let ters and of arts, from the ruthless foe, — stand unmoved over the graves of our dear brethern, who so lately, on three of those all- 200 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. important days which decide a nation's history, — days on whose issue it depended whether this august republican Union, founded by some of the wisest statesmen that ever lived, cemented with the blood of some of the purest patriots that ever died, should perish or endure, — rolled back the tide of an invasion, not less. Unprovoked, not less ruthless, than that which came to plant the dark banner of Asiatic despotism and slavery on the free soil of Greece? Heaven forbid! And could I prove so insensible to every prompting of patriotic duty and affection, not only would you, fellow citizens, gathered many of you from distant States, who have come to take part in these pious offices of gratitude — you, respected fathers, brethem, matrons, sisters, who surround me — cry out for shame, but the forms of brave and patriotic men, who fill these honored graves, would heave with indignation be neath the sod. We have assembled, friends, fellow citizens, at the invitation of the Executive of the great central State of Pennsylvania, seconded by the Governors of seventeen other loyal States of the Union, to pay the last tribute of respect to the brave men, who, in the hard fought battles of the first, second and third days of July last, laid down their lives for the country on these hill sides and the plains before us, and whose remains have been gathered into the Cemetery which we consecrate this day. As my eye rang'es over the fields whose sods were so lately moistened by the blood of gallant and loyal men, I feel, as never before, how truely it was said of old, that it is sweet and becoming to die for one's country. I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of, their gratitude and admira tion to the memory of those who nobly sacrificed their lives, that their fellow men may live in safety and in honor. And if this tribute were ever due, when, to whom, could it be more justly paid than to tliose whose last resting place we this day commend to the blessing of Heaven and of men? For consider, my friends, what wrould have been the consequence to the country, to yourselves, and to all you hold dear, if those who sleep beneath our feet, and their gallant comrades who sm> vive to serve their country on other fields of danger, had failed in their duty on those memorable days. Consider what, at this mo ment, would be the condition of the United States, if that noble SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 201 army of the Potomac, instead of gallantly and for the second time beating back the tide of invasion from Maryland and Penn sylvania, had been itself driven from these well contested heights, thrown back in confusion on Baltimore, or trampled down, dis cohifittiAl, scattered to the four winds. What, in that sad event, would not have been the fate of the Monumental city, of Harris burg, of Philadelphia, of Washington, the capital of the Union, each and every one of which would have lain at the mercy of the enemy, accordingly as it might have pleased him, spurred by pas sion, flushed with victory, and confident of continued success, to direct his course? For this ^ve must bear in mind, it is one of the great lessons of the war, indeed of every war, that it is impossible for a people without military organization, inhabiting the cities, towns, and villages of an open country, including, of course, the natural pro portion of non-combatants of either sex, and of every age, to withstand the inroad of a veteran .army. What defence can be made by the inhabitants of a village mostly built of wood, of cities unprotected by walls, nay, by a population of men, however high toned and resolute^ whose aged parents demand their care, whose wives and children are clustering about them, against the charge of the war-horse whose neck is clothed with thunder — against flying artillery and batteries of rifled canon planted on every commanding eminence — against the onset of trained A-et- erans led by skilful chiefs? No, my friends, army must be met by army, battery by battery, squadron by squadron; and the shock of organized thousands must be encountered by the firm breasts and a aliant arms of other thousands, as well organized and as skilfully led. It is no reproach, therefore, to the unarmed popu lation of the country to say, that we owe it to the brave men Avho sleep in their beds of honor before us, and to their gallant surviv ing a sociates, not merely that your fertile fields, my friends of Pennsylvania and Maryland, were redeemed from the presence of the invader, but that your beautiful capitals were not given up to threatened plunder, perhaps laid in ashes, Washington seized by the enemy, and a blow struck at the heart of the nation. Who that hears me has forgotten the thrill of joy thatran through the country on the 4th of July — auspicious day for the glorious tidings, and rendered still more so by the simultaneous fall of 202 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. Vicksburg — when the telegraph flashed through the land the as surance from the President of the United States that the army of the Potomac, under General Meade, had again smitten the in vader? Sure I am, that, with the ascriptions of praise that rose to Heaven from twenty millions of freemen, with the 'acknow ledgments that breathed from patriotic lips throughout the length and breadth of America, to the surviving officers and men who had rendered the country this inestimable service, there beat in every loyal bosom a throb of tender and sorrowful gratitude to the martyrs who had fallen on the sternly contested field. Let a na tion's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and suffer ings of those who survive. Would that the heartfelt tribute could penetrate these honored graves ! In order that we may comprehend, to their full extent, our ob ligations to the martyrs and surviving heroes of the army of the Potomac, let us contemplate for a few moments the train of events, which culminated in the battles of the first days of July. Of this stupendous rebellion, planned, as its originators boast, more than thirty years ago, matured and prepared for during an entire gene ration, finally commenced because, for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution, an election of President had been effected without the votes of the South, (which retained, however, the control of the two other branches of the government,) the occu pation of the national capital, with the seizure of the public ar chives and of the treaties with foreign powers, was an essential feature. This was, in substance, within my personal knowledge, admitted, in the winter of 1860-61, by one of the most influential leaders of the rebellion ; and it was fondly thought that this object could be effected by a bold and sudden movement on the 4th of March, 1861. There is abundant proof, also, that a darker project was contemplated, if not by the responsible chiefs of the rebellion, yet by nameless ruffians, willing to play a subsidary and murderous part in the treasonable drama. It was accordingly maintained by the Eebel emissaries in England, in the circles to which they found access, that the new American Minister ought not, when he ar rived, to be received as the envoy of the United States, inasmuch as before that time Washington would be captured, and the capi tal of the nation and the archives and muniments of the govern ment would be in possession of the Confederates. In full accord- SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 203 ance also with this threat, it was declared, by the Eebel Secretary of War, at Montgomery, in the presence of his Chief and of his colleagues, and of five thousand hearers, while the tidings of the assault on Sumter were traveling over the wires on the fatal 12th of April, 1861, that before the end of May "the flag which then flaunted the breeze," as he expressed it, "would float over the dome of the Capitol at Washington." At the time this threat was made, the rebellion was confined to the cotton-growing States, and it was well understood by them, that the only hope of drawing any of the other slaveholding States into the conspiracy, was in bringing about a conflict of arms, and "firing the heart of the South" by the effusion of blood. This was declared by the Charleston press, to be the object for which Sumter was to be assaulted ; and the emissaries sent from Eich- mond. to urge on the unhallowed work, gave the promise, that, with the first drop of blood that should be shed, Virginia would place herself by the side of South Carolina. In pursuance of this orignalplan of the leaders of the rebellion, the capture of Washington has been continually had in view, not merely for the sake of its public buildings, as the capital of the Confederacy, but as the necessary preliminary to the absorption of the border States, and for the moral effect in the eyes of Europe of possessing the metropolis of the Union. 1 allude to these facts, not perhaps enough borne in mind, as a sufficient refutation of the pretence, on the part of the Eebels, that the war is one of self-defence, waged for the right of self-govern ment. It is in reality, a war originally levied by ambitious men in the cotton-growing States, for the purpose of drawing the slave- holding border States into the vortex of the conspiracy, first by sympathy — which, in the case of South-Eastern Virginia, North Carolina, part of Tennessee and Arkansas, succeeded — and then by force and for the purpose of subjugating Maryland, West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee and Missouri ; and it is a most extraordinary fact, considering the clamors of the Eebel chiefs on the subject of invasion, that not a soldier of the United States has entered the States last named, except to defend their Union- loving inhabitants from the armies and guerillas of the Eebels. In conformity with these designs on the city of Washington, and notwithstanding the disastrous results of the invasion of 1862, it 204 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. was determined by the Eebel Government last summer to resume the offensive in that direction. Unable to force the passage of the Eappahannock, where General Hooker, notwithstanding the re verse at Chancellorsville, in May, was strongly posted, the Con federate general resorted to strategy. He had two objects in view. The first was by a rapid movement northward, and by nianoeuver- ing with a portion of his army on the east side of the Blue Eidge, to tempt Hooker from his base of operations, thus leading him to uncover the approaches to Washington, to throw it open to a raid by Stuart's cavalry, and to enable Lee himself to cross the Po tomac in the neighborhood of PoolesATflle and thus fall upon the capital. This plan of operations was wholly frustrated. The de sign of the Eebel general was promptly discovered by- General Hooker, and, moving with great rapidity from Fredericksburg, he preserA_ed unbroken the inner line, and stationed the various corps of his army at all the points protecting the approach to Washing ton, from Centreville up to Leesburg. From this vantage-ground the Eebel general in vain attempted to draw him. In the mean time, by the vigorous operations of Pleasanton's cavalry, the cavalry of Stuart, though greatly superior in numbers, was so crippled as to be disabled from performing the part assigned it in the campaign. In this manner, General Lee's first object, namely, the defeat of Hooker's army on the south of the Potomac and a direct march on Washington, Avas baffled. The second part of the Confederate plan, which is supposed to have been undertaken in opposition to the ATiews of General LEe, Avas to turn the demonstration northward into a real invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania, in the hope, that, in this way, Gen eral Hooker would be drawn to a distance from the capital, and that some opportunity would occur of taking him at disadvantage, and, after defeating his army, of making a descent upon Baltimore and Washington. This part of General Lee's plan, which was substantially the repetition of that of 1862, was not less signally defeated, with what honor to the arms of the Union the heights on which we are this day assembled will forever attest. Much time had been uselessly consumed by the Eebel general in his unavailing attempts to out-manoeuvre General Hooker. Although General Lee broke up from Fredericksburg on the 3d of soldiers' national cemetery. 205 Juno, it was not till the 24th that the main body of his army en tered Maryland. Instead of crossing the Potomac, as he had in tended, east of the BlueEidge, he was compelled to doit at Shep- herdstoAvn and Williamsport, thus materially deranging his entire plan of campaign north of the river. Stuart, who had been sent Avith his cavalry to the east of the Blue Eidge, to guard the passes of the mountains, to mask the movements of Lee, and to harass the Union general in crossing the river, having been severely handled by Pleasonton at Beverly Ford, Aldie, and Upperville, instead of being able to retard General Hooker's advance, was driven himself away from his connection with the army of Lee, and cut off for a fortnight from all communication with it — a cir cumstance to which General Lee, in his report, alludes more than once, with 6Arident displeasure. Let us now rapidly glance at the incidents of the eventful campaign. A detachment from Swell's corps, under Jenkins, had pene trated, on the 15th of June, as far as Chambersburg. Thi.s move ment was intended at first merely as a demonstration, and as a marauding expedition for supplies. It had, however, the salutary effect of alarming the country ; and vigorous preparations were made, not only by the General GoArernment, but here in Pennsyl vania and in the sister States, to repel the inroad. After two days passed at Chambersburg, Jenkins, anxious for his communications with Ewell, fell back with his plunder to Hagerstown. Here he remained for several days, and then having swept the recesses of the Cumberland valley, came down upon the eastern .flank of the South mountain, and pushed his marauding parties as far as Waynesboro'. On the 22d, the remain der of Ewell's corps crossed the river and moved up the valley. They were followed on the 24th by Long street and Hill, who crossed at Williamsport and Shepherdstown, and pushed up the vTalley, encamped at Chambers burg on the 27th. In this way the whole rebel army, estimated at 90,000 infantry, upwards of 10,000 cavalry, and 4,000 or 5,000 artillery, making a total of 105,000 of all arms, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. Up to this time no report of Hooker's movements had been received by General Lee, who, having been deprived of his cavalry, had no means of obtaining information. Eightly judging, however, that no time would be lost by the Union army in the pursuit, in 206 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. order to detain it on the eastern side of the mountains in Mary land and Pennsylvania, and thus preserve his communication by the way of Williamsport, he had, before his own arrival at Cham bersburg, directed Ewell to send detachments from his corps to ¦ Carlisle and York. The latter detachment, under Early, passed through this place on the 26th of June. You need not, fellow citizens of Gettysburg, that I should re-call to you those moments of alarm and distress, precursors as, they were of the more trying scenes which were so soon to follow^ As soon as Gen. Hooker preceived that the advance of the Confederates into the Cumberland valley was not a mere feint to draw him away from Washington, he moved rapidly in pursuit. Attempts, as we have seen, were made to harass and retard his passage across the Potomac. These attempts were not only alto gether unsuccessful, but were so imskilfully made as to place the entire Federal army between the Cavalry of Stuart and the army of Lee. While the latter was massed in the Cumberland valley, Stuart was east of the mountains, with Hooker's army between, and Gregg's cavalry in close pursuit. Stuart was accordingly compelled to force a march northward, which was destitute of strategical character, and which deprived his chief of all means of obtaining intelligence. Not a moment had been lost by General Hooker in the pur suit of Lee. The day after the Eebel army entered Maryland, the Union army crossed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry, and by the 28th of June lay between Harper's Ferry and Frederick. The force of the enemy on that day was partly at Chambersburg, and partly moving on the Cashtown road in the direction of Get tysburg, while the detachments from Ewell's corps, of which men tion has been made, had reached the Susquehanna opposite Har risburg and Columbia. That a great battle must soon be fought, no one could doubt ; but in the apparent and perhaps real absence of plan on the part of Lee, it was impossible to foretell the pre cise scene of the encounter. Wherever fought, consequences the most momentous hung upon the result. In this critical and anxious state of affairs, General Hooker was relieved, and General Meade was summoned to the chief command of the army. It appears to my unmilitary judgment to soldiers' national cemetery. 207 reflect the highest credit upon him, upon his predecessor, and upon the corps commanders of the army of the Potomac, that a change could take place in the chief command of so large a force on the eve of a general battle — the various corps necessarily moving on lines somewhat divergent, and all in ignorance of the enemy's intended point of concentration — and that not an hour's hesitation should ensue in the advance of any portion of the en tire army. Having assumed the chief command on the 28th, General Meade directed his left wing, under Eeynolds, upon Emmitsburg, and his right upon New Windsor, leaving General French with 11,000 men to protect the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and convoy the public property from Harper's Ferry to Washington. Buford's cavalry was then at this place, and Kilpatrick's at Hanover, where he encountered and defeated the rear of Stuart's cavalry, who was roving the country in search of the main army of Lee. On the Eebel side, Hill had reached Fayetteville on the Cash- town road on the 28th, and was followed on the same road by Longstreet on the 29th. The eastern side of the mountain, as seen from Gettysburg, was lighted up at night by the camp-fires of the enemy's advance, and the country swarmed with his foraging parties. It was now too evident to be questioned, that the thun der-cloud, so long gathering blackness, would soon burst on some part of the devoted vicinity of Gettysburg. The 30th of June was a day of important preparation. At half-past eleven o'clock in the morning, General Buford passed through Gettysburg, upon a reconnoissance in force, with his cavalry, upon the Chambersburg road. The information obtained by him was immediately communicated to General Eeynolds, who was, in consequence, directed to occupy Gettysburg. That gallant officer accordingly, with the First Corps, marched from Emmitsburg to within six or seven miles of this place, and en- canped on the right bank of Marsh's creek. Our right wing, meantime, was moved to Manchester. On the same day the corps of Hill and Longstreet were pushed still further forward on the Chambersburg road, and distributed in the vicinity of Marsh's creek, while a reconnoissance was made by the Confederate Gene ral Pettigrew up to a very sjiort distance from this place. Thus 208 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. at nightfall, on the 30th of June, the greater part of the Eebel force was concentrated in the immediate vicinity of two corps of the Union army, the former refreshed by two days passed in com parative repose and deliberate preparation for the encounter, the latter separated by a march of one or two days from their support ing corps, and doubtful at what precise point they were to expect an attack. And now the momentous day, a day to be forever remembered in the annals of the country, arrived. Early in the morning, on the 1st of July, the conflict began. I need not say that it would be impossible for me to comprise, within the limits of the hour, such a narrative as would do anything like full justice to the all- important events of these three great days, or to the merit of the brave officers and men, of every rank, of every arm of the service, and of every loyal State, who bore their part in the tremendous struggle — alike those who nobly sacrificed then lives for their country, and those who survived, many of them scarred with honorable wounds, the objects of our admiration and gratitude. — The astonishingly minute, accurate, and graphic accounts con- tained in the journals of the day, prepared from personal observa tion by reporters who witnessed the scenes, and often shared the vp-j;ils which they describe, and the highly valuable 'motes" of Pro fessor Jacobs, of the University in this place, to which I am greatly indebted, will abundantly supply the deficiency of my necessarily too condensed statement.* 'Besides the sources of information mentioned in tho text, I have been kindly favored with a memorandum of the operations of the three days, drawn up' for me by direction of Major General Meade, (anticipating the promulgation of his official report,) by one of his aids, Colonel Theodore Lyman, from whom, also, I have received other impor tant communications relative to tho campaign. I have received very valuable docu ments relative to the battle from Major General Hai.leck, Commander-in-Chief of the army, and have been much assisted in drawing up the sketch of the campaign, by the detailed reports, kindly transmitted to me in manuscript from the Adjutant General's office, of the movements of every corps of the army, for each day, after the breaking up from Fredericksburg commenced. I have derived much assistance from Colonel John B. Baohelder's oral explanations of his beautiful and minute drawing (about to be engraved) of the field of the three days' struggle. With tho information derived from these sources, I have compared the statements in General Lee's official report of the campaign, dated 31st July, 1863, a well-written article, purporting to be an account of the three days' battle, in the Richmond Enquirer of the 22d of July, and the article on "The Battle of Gettysburg and the Campaign of Pennsylvania," by an officer, ap parently a colonel in the British army, in Blackwood's Magazine for September. The SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 209 General Eeynolds, on arriving at Gettysburg, in the morning of the 1st, found Buford with his cavalry warmly engaged with the enemy, whom he held most gallantly in check. Hastening him self to the front, General Eeynolds directed his men to be moved over the fields from the Emmitsburg road, in front of M'Millan's and Dr. Schmtjoker's, under cover of the Seminary Eidge.— Without a moment's hesitation, he attacked the enemy, at the same time sending orders to the Eleventh Corps (General Howard's) to adA^ance as promptly as possible. General Eeynolds immediately found himself engaged with a force which greatly outnumbered his own, and had scarcely made his dispositions for the action when he fell mortally wounded, at the head of his advance. — The command of the First Corps devolved on General Doubled ay, and that of the field on General Hoavard, who arrived at 11.30, with Schurz's and Barlow's divisions of the Eleventh Corps, the latter of whom received a severe wound. Thus strengthened, the advantage of the battle was for some time on our side. The attacks of the Eebels were vigorously repulsed by Wadsworth's division of tho First Corps, and a large number of prisoners, in cluding General Archer, were captured. At length, howeA^er, the continued reinforcement of the Confederates from the main body in the neighborhood, and bythe division of Eodes andEARLY, coming down by separate lines from Heidlersberg and taking post on our extreme right, turned the fortunes of the day. Our army, value of the information contained in this last essay may be seen by comparing the remark under date 27 th June, that "private property is to be rigidly protected," with the statement in the next sentence but one, that "all the cattle and farm horses having been seized by Ewell, farm labor had come to a complete stand still." He, also, under date of 4th July, speaks of Lee's retreat being encumbered by "Swell's immense train of plunder." This writer informs us, that, on the evening of the 4th of July, he heard "reports coming in from the different Generals, that the enemy [Meade's army] was retiring, and had been doing so all day long. " At a consultation at head-quarters on the 6th, between Generals Lee, Longstreet, Hill, and Wilcox, this writer was told by some one, whose name he prudently leaves in blank, that the army had no in tention, at present, of retreating for good, and that some of the enemy's dispatches had been intercepted, in which the following words occur: "The noble, but unfortunate army of the Potomac has again been obliged to retreat before superior numbers !" He does not appear to be aware, that in recording these wretched expedients, resorted to in order to keep up the spirits of Lee's army, he furnishes the most camplete refutation of his own account of its good condition. I much regret that General Meade's official report was not published in season to enable me to take full advantage of it, in prepar ing the brief sketch of the battles of the three days contained in the address. It reached nae but the morning before it was sent to the press. 14 210 soldiers' national cemetery. after contesting the ground for five hours, was obliged to yield fts the enemy, whose force outnumbered them two to one ; and fib- ward the close of the afternoon General Howard deemed it prtp- dent to withdraw the two corps to the heights where we are now assembled. The greater part of the First Corps passed through the outskirts of the toAvn, and reached the hill without serious loss or molestation. The Eleventh Corps and portions of the First, not being aware that the enemy had already entered the town from the north, attempted to force their way through Washington and Baltimore streets, which, in the crowd and confusion of the scene, they did with a heavy loss in prisoners. General Howard was not unprepared for this turn in the for tunes of the day. He had, in the course of the morning, cause*! Cemetery Hill to be occupied by General Stelnwehr, with the Second division of the Eleventh Corps. About the time of the AvithdraAval of our troops to the hill, General Hancock: arrived, having been sent by General Meade, on hearing of the death of Reynolds, to assume the command of the field till he himself could reach the front. In conjunction with General Howard, General Hancock immediately proceeded to post the troops and to repel an attack on our right flank. This attack was feebly made and promptly repulsed. At nightfall, our troops on the hill, who had so gallantly sustained themselves during the toil and peril of the day, were cheered by the arrival of General Slocum with the Twelfth Corps and of General Sickles with a part of the Third. Such was the fortunes of the first day, commencing with de cided success to our arms, followed by a check, but ending in the occupation of this all-important position. To you, fellow citizens of Gettysburg, I need not attempt to portray the anxieties of the ensuing night. Witnessing, as you had done with sorrow, the withdrawal of our army through your streets, with a considerable loss of prisoners — mourning as you did over the brave men who had fallen — shocked with the wide spread desolation around you, of which the wanton burning of the Harmon House had given the signal — ignorant of the near approach of General Meade, you passed the weary hours of the night in painful expectation. Long before the dawn of the 2d of July, the new Commander- in-Chief had reached the ever-memorable field of service and glory. Having received intelligence of the events in progress, and in- SOLDIERS' national cemetery. 211 formed by the reports of Generals Hancock and Howard, of the favorable'character of the positions, he determined to give battle to the enemy'at this point. He accordingly directed the remain ing corps of the army to concentrate at Gettysburg with all pos sible expedition, and breaking up his head-quarters at Taney- town at ten P. M., he arrived at the front at one o'clock in the morning of the 2d of July. Few were the moments given to sleep, during the rapid watches of that brief midsummer's night, by officers or men, though half of our troops were exhausted by the conflict of the day, and the residue wearied by the forced marches which had brought them to the rescue. The full moon, veiled by thin clouds, shone down that night on a strangely unwonted scene. The silence of the grave-yard was broken by the heavy tramp of armed men, by the neigh of the war-horse, the harsh rattle of the wheels of the artillery hurrying to their stations, and all the in describable tumult of preparation. The various corps of the army, as they arrived, were moved to their positions, on the spot where we are assembled and the ridges that extend south-east and south west; batteries were planted and breastworks thrown up. The Second and Fifth Corps,' with the rest of the Third, had reached the ground by seven o'clock A. M. ; but it was not till two o'clock in the afternoon that Sedgwick arrived with the Sixth Corps. He had marched thirty-four miles since nine o'clock on the even ing before. It was only on his arrival that the Union army ap proached an equality of numbers with that of the Eebels, who were posted upon the opposite and parallel ridge, distant from a mile to a mile and a half, overlapping our position on either wing, and probably exceeding by ten thousand the army of General Meade.* And here I cannot but remark on the providential inaction of the Eebel army. Had the contest been reneAved by it at day light on the 2d of July, Avith the First and Eleventh Corps ex hausted by the ^battle and the retreat, the Third and Twelfth Aveary from their forced march, and the Second, Fifth and Sixth not yet *In the Address as originaUy prepared, judging from the best sources of information then within my reach, I assumed the equality of the two armies on the 2d and ?A of July. Subsequent inquiry has led me to think that I underrated somewhat the strength of Lee's forca at Gettysburg, and I have corrected the text accordingly. General Hallsitt, howuvor, in his official report accompanying the President's messages, states the armies to have been equal. Missing Page Missing Page 214 soldiers* national cemetery. Lee, the Eebel advance, consisting of two-thirds of Hill's corps. and the whole of Longstreet's — including Pickett's division, the elite of his corps, which had not yet been under fire, and was now depended upon to decide the fortune of this last eventful day — was driven back with prodigious slaughter, discomfitted and broken. While these events were in progress at our left centre, ,the enemy was driven, with a considerable loss of prisoners, from a strong position on our extreme left, from which he was annoying our forces on Little Bound Top. In the terrific assault on our centre, Generals Hancock and Gibbon were wounded. In the Eebel army, Generals Ajemistead, Kemper, Pettigrew, and Trimble were wounded, the first named mortally, the latter also made prisoner, General Garnett was killed, and thirty-five hun dred officers and men made prisoners. These were the expiring agonies of the three days' conflict, and with them the battle ceased. It was fought by the Union army with courage and skill, from the first cavalry skirmish on Wed nesday morning, to the fearful route of the enemy on Friday afternoon, by every arm and every rank of the service, by officers and men, by cavalry, artillery, and infantry. The superiority of numbers was with the enemy, who were led by the ablest com manders in their service ; and if the Union force had the advantage of a strong position, the Confederates had that of choosing time and place, the prestige of former victories over the army of the Potomac, and of the success of the first day. Victory does not always fall to the lot of those who deserve it ; but that so decisive a triumph, under circumstances like these, was gained by pur troops, I would ascribe, under Providence, to the spirit of exalted pat riotism that animated them, and the consciousness that they were fighting in a righteous cause. • All hope of defeating our army, and securing what General Lee calls "the valuable results" of such an achievement, having vanished, he thought only of rescuing from destruction the re mains of his shattered forces. In killed, wounded and missing, he had, as far as can be ascertained, suffered a loss of about 37,- 000 men — rather more than a third of the army with Avhich he is supposed to have marched into Pennsylvania. Perceiving that his only safety was in rapid retreat, he commenced withdrawing his troops at daybreak on the 4th, throwing up field works in front SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 215 (if our left, which, assuming the appearance of a new position, were intended probably to protect the rear of his army in their retreat. That day — sad celebration of the 4th of July for an army of Americans — was passed by him in hurrying off his trains. By nightfall, the main army was in full retreat upon the Cashtown and Fairfield roads, and it moved with such precipitation, that, short as the nights were, by day-light the following morning, not withstanding a heavy rain, the rear guard had left its position. The struggle of the last two days resembled, in many respects, the battle of Waterloo; and if, in the evening of the third day, General Meade, like the Duke of Wellington, had had the as sistance of a powerful auxiliary army to take up the pursuit, the route of the Eebels would have been as complete as that of Napo leon. Owing to the circumstances just named, the intentions of the enemy were not apparent on the 4th. The moment his retreat was discovered, the following morning, he was pursued by our cavalry on the Cashtown road and through the Emmitsburg and Monterey passes, and by Sedgwick's corps on the Fairfield road. His rear guard was briskly attacked at Fairfield ; a great number of wagons and ambulances were captured in the passes of the moun tains ; the country swarmed with his stragglers, and his wounded were literally emptied from the vehicles containing them into the farm houses on the road. General Lee, in his report, makes re peated mention of the Union prisoners whom he conveyed into Virginia, somewhat overstating their number. He states, also, that "such of his wounded that were in a condition to be removed," were forwarded to Williamsport. He does not mention that the number of his wounded not removed, and left to the Christian care of the victors, was 7,540, not one of whom failed of any at tention which it was possible, under the circumstances of the case, to afford them, not one of whom, certainly, has been put upon Libby prison fare — lingering death by starvation. Heaven forbid, however, that we should claim any merit for the exercise of com- mofi. humanity. Under the protection of the mountain ridge, whose narrow passes are easily held even by a retreating army, General Lee reached Williamsport in safety, and took up a strong position opj^xsite to that place. General Meade necessarily pursued with 216 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. the main army by a flank movement through Middletown, Turner's Pass having been secured by General French. Passing through the South mountain, the Union army came up with that of the Eebels on the 12th, and found it securely posted on the heights of Marsh run. The position was reconnoitred, and preparations made for an attack on the 13th. The depth of the river, swollen by the recent rains, authorized the expectation that the enemy would be brought to a general engagement the following day. An advance was accordingly made by General Meade on the morning of the 14th ; but it was soon found that the Eebels had escaped in the night, with such haste that Ewell's corps forded the river where the water was breast-high. The caATalry, which had rendered the most important service during the three days, and in harrassing the enemy's retre at, was now sent in pursuit, and captured two guns and a large number of prisoners. In an action which took place at Falling Waters, Gen. Pettigrew was mortally wounded. General Meade, in further pursuit of the Eebels, crossed the Potomac at Berlin. Thus again covering the approaches to Washington, he compelled the enemy to pass the Blue Eidge at one of the upper gaps ; and in about six weeks from the commencement of the campaign, General Lee found himself again on the south side of the Eappahannock, with the probable loss of about a third part of his army. Such, most inadequately recounted, is the history of the ever- memorable three days, and of the events immediately preceding and following. It has been pretended, in order to diminish the magnitude of this disaster to the Eebel cause, that it was merely the repulse of an attack on a strongly defended position. The tremendous losses on both sides are a sufficient answer to this misrepresentation, and attest the courage and obstinacy with which the three days' battle was waged. Few of the great conflicts of modern times have cost victors and vanquished so great a sacrifice. On the Union side there fell, in the whole campaign, of generals lulled, Eeynolds, Weed and Zook, and wounded, Barlow, Barnes, Butterfield, Doubleday, Gibbon, Graham, Hancock, Sickles and Warren ; while of officers below the rank of Gen eral, and men, there were 2,834 killed, 13,709 wounded, and 6,643 missing. On the Confederate side, there were killed on the field or mortally wounded, Generals Armistead, Barksdale, Garnett, soldiers' national cemetery. 217 Pender, Pettigreav and Semmes, and wounded, Heth, Hood, Johnson, Kemper, Kimball and Trimble. Of officers below the rank of general, and men, there were taken prisoners, includ ing the Avounded, 13,621, an amount ascertained officially. Of the wounded in a condition to be removed, of the killed and the missing, the enemy has made no return. They are estimated, from the best data which the nature of the case admits, at 23,000. General Meade also captured 3 cannon, and 41 standards ; and 24,978 small arms were collected on the battle-field. I must leave to others, who can do it from personal observation, to describe the mournful spectacle presented by these hill-sides and planes at the close of the terrible conflict. It was a saying of the Duke of Wellington, that next to a defeat, the saddest thing was a victory. The horrors of the battle field, after the contest is over, the sights and sounds of woe, — let me throw a pall over the scene, which no words can adequately depict to those who have not witnessed it, on which no one who has witnessed it, and who has a heart in his bosom, can bear to dwell. One drop of balm alone, one drop of heavenly, life-giAring balm, mingles in this bitter cup of misery. Scarcely has the cannon ceased to roar, when the brethren and sisters of Christian benevolence, ministers of compassion, angles of pity, hasten to the field and the hos pital, to moisten the parched tongue, to bind the ghastly wounds, to soothe the parting agonies alike of friend and foe, and to catch the last whispered message of love from dying lips. "Carry this miniature back to my dear wife, but do not take it from my bosom till I am gone." "Tell my little sister not to grieve for me ; I am willing to die for my country." "Oh, that my mother were here !" When, since Aaron stood between the living and the dead, was there ever so gracious a ministry as this? It has been said that it is a characteristic of Americans to treat woman with a defer ence not paid to them in any other country. I will not undertake to say whether this is so ; but I will say, that since this terrible war has been waged, the woman of the loyal States, if nevev be fore, haAre entitled themselves to our highest admiration and grati tude, — alike those who at home, often with fingers unused to the toil, often bowed beneath their own domestic cares, have perform ed an amount of daily labor not exceeded by those who work for their daily bread, and those who, in the hospital and the tents of 218 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, have rendered services which millions could not buy. Happily, the labor and the service are their own reward. Thousands of matrons and thousands of maidens have experienced a delight in their homely toils and ser vices, compared with which the pleasures of the ball room and the opera house are tame and unsatisfactory. This, on earth, is reward enough, but a richer is in store for them. Yes, brothers, sisters of charity, while you bind up the wounds of the poor sufferers — the humblest, perhaps, that have shed their blood for the country — forget not Who it is that will hereafter say to you, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." And now, friends, fellow citizens, as we stand among these honored graves, the momentous question presents itself: Which of the two parties to the war is responsible for all this suffering, for this dreadful sacrifice of life, the lawful and constitutional government of the United States, or the ambitious men who have rebelled against it? I say "rebelled" against it, although Earl Eussell, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in his recent temperate and conciliatory speech in Sco'tland, seems to intimate that no prejudice ought to attach to that word, inasmuch as our English forefathers rebelled against Charles I. and James II., and our American fathers rebelled against George III. These, certainly, are venerable precedents, but they prove only that it is just and proper to rebel against oppressive governments. They do not prove that it is just and proper for the son of James n. to rebel against George I., or his grand-son Charles Edward to rebel against George II. ; nor, as it seems to me, ought these dynastic struggles, little better than family quarrels, to be com pared with this monstrous conspiracy against the American Union. These precedents do not prove that it was just and proper for the "disappointed great men" of the cotton-growing States to rebel against "the most beneficent government of which history gives us any account,'' as the Vice President of the Confederacy, in November, 1860, charged them with doing. They do not create a presumption even in faA-or of the disloyal slaveholders of the South, who, living under a government of which Mr. Jefferson Davis, in the session of 1860-61, said that it "was the best govern ment ever instituted by man, unexceptionably administered, and SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 219 under which the people have been prosperous beyond comparison with any other people whose career has been recorded in history," rebelled against it because their aspiring politicians, himself among the rest, were in danger of losing their monopoly of its offices. What would have been thought by an impartial posterity of the American rebellion against George III., if the colonists had at all times been more than equally represented in parliament, and James Otis, and Patrick Henry, and Washington, and Frank lin, and the Adamses, and Hancock, and Jefferson, and men of their stamp, had for two generations enjoyed the confidence of the sovereign and administered the government of the empire? What would have been thought of the rebellion against Charles I., if Cromwell, and the men of his school, had been the respon sible advisers of that prince from his accession to the throne, and then, on account of a partial change in the ministry, had brought his head to the block, and involved the country in a desolating war, for the sake of dismembering it and establishing a new govern ment south of the Trent? What would have been thought of the Whigs of 1688, if they had themselves composed the cabinet of James II., and been the advisers of the measures and the promo ters of the policy which drove him into exile? The puritans of 1640, and the Whigs of 1688, rebelled against arbitrary power in order to establish constitutional liberty. If they had risen against Charles and James because those monarchs favored equal rights, and in order themselves, ''for the first time in the history of the world," to establish an oligarchy "founded on the corner-stone of slavery," they would truly have furnished a precedent for the Eebels of the South, but their cause would not have been sus tained by the eloquence of Pym, or of Somers, nor sealed with the blood of Hampden or Eussell. I call the war which the Confederates are waging against the Union a "rebellion," because it is one, and in grave matters it is best to call things by their right names. I speak of it as a crime, because the Constitution of the United States so regards it, and puts "rebellion" on a par with "invasion." The Constitution and law not only of England, but of every civilized country, re gard them in the same light ; or rather they consider the rebel in arms as far worse than the alien enemy. To levy war against the United States is the constitutional definition of treason, and 220 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. that crime is by every civilized government regarded as the highest which citizen or subject can commit. TSot content with the sanc tions of human justice, of all the crimes against the law of the land it is singled out for the denunciations of religion. The lit anies of every church in Christendom whose ritual embraces that office, as far as I am aware, from the metropolitan cathedrals of Europe to the humblest missionary chapel in the islands of the sea, concm- with the Church of England in imploring the Sovereign of the Universe, by the most awful adjurations which the heart of man can conceive or his tongue utter, to deliver us from ''se dition, privy conspiracy and rebellion." And reason good; for while a rebellion against tyranny — a rebellion designed, after prostrating arbitrary power, to establish free government on the basis of justice and truth — is an enterprise on which good men and angels may look with complacency, an unprovoked rebellion of ambitious men against a beneficent government, for the purpose — the avowed purpose — of establishing, extending and perpetuating any form of injustice and wrong, is an imitation on earth of that first foul revolt of "the Infernal Serpent," against which the Su preme Majesty of Heaven sent forth the armed myriads of his angels, and clothed the right arm of his Son with the three-bolted thunders of omnipotence. Lord Bacon, in "the true marshalling of the sovereign degrees of honor," assigns the first place to "the Conditores Imperiorum, founders of States and Commonwealths ;" and, truly, to build up from the discordant elements of our nature, the passions, the in terests and the opinions of the individual man, the riATalries of family, clan and tribe, the influences of climate and geographical position, the accidents of peace and war, accumulated for ages — to build up from these oftentimes warring elements a well-com pacted, prosperous and powerful State, if it were to be accom plished by one effort or in one generation, would require a more than mortal skill. To contribute in some notable degree to this, the greatest work of man, by wise and patriotic council in peace and loyal heroism in war, is as high as human merit can well rise, and far more than to any of those to Avhom Bacon assigns the highest place of honor, whose names can hardly be repeated with out a wondering smile — Eomclus, Cyrus, Cjesar, Ottoman, Ismael — is it due to our Washington, as the founder of the Ameri- soldiers' national cemetery. 221 can Union. But if to achieve or help to achieve this greatest work of man's wisdom and \rirtcie gives title to a place among the chief benefactors, rightful heirs of the benedictions, of man kind, by equal reason shall the bold, bad men who seek to undo the noble work, Ever sores Imperiorum, destroyers of States, who for base and selfish ends rebel against beneficent gOA^ernments, seek to overturn wise constitutions, to lay powerful republican Unions at the foot of foreign thrones, to bring on civil and foreigu war, anarchy at home, dictation abroad, desolation, ruin — by equal reason, I say, yes, a thousandfold stronger shall they inherit the execrations of the ages. But to hide the deformity of the crime under the cloak of that sophistry which strives to make the worse appear the better reason, we are told by the leaders of the Eebellion that in our complex system of government the separate States are "sovereigns," and that the central power is only an "agency" established by these sovereigns to manage certain little affairs — such, forsooth, as Peace, War, Army, Navy, Finance, Territory, and Eelations with the na tive tribes — which they could not so conveniently administer them selves. It happens, unfortunately for this theory, that the Federal Constitution (which has been adopted by the people of every State of the Union as much as their own State constitutions have been adopted, and is declared to be paramount to them) nowhere recognizes the States as "sovereigns" — in fact, that, by their names, it does not recognize them at all ; while the authority established by that instrument is recognized, in its text, not as an ''agency," but as "the Government of the United States." By that Consti tution, moreover, which purports in its preamble to be ordained and established by "the People of the United States," it is ex pressly provided, that "the members of the State legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, shall be bound by oath or affir mation to support the Constitution." Now it is a common thing, under all governments, for an agent to be bound by oath to be faithful to his sovereign ; but I never heard before of sovereigns being bound by oath to be faithful to their agency. Certainly, I do not deny that the separate States are clothed with sovereign powers for the administration of local affairs. It is one of the most beautiful features of our mixed system of gov ernment ; but it is equally true, that, in adopting the Federal Con- 222 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. stitution, the States abdicated, by express renunciation, all the most importsmt functions of national sovereignty, and, by one comprehensive, self-denying clause, gave up all right to contra vene the Constitution of the United States. Specifically, and by enumeration, they renounced all the most important prerogatives of independent States for peace and for war, — the right to keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, or to engage in war unless ac tually invaded ; to enter into compact with another State or a for eign power ; to lay any duty on tonnage, or any impost on exports or imports, without the consent of Congress; to enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation ; to grant letters of marque and reprisal, and to emit bills of credit — while all these powers and many others are expressly vested in the General Government. To ascribe to political communities, thus limited in their jurisdiction — who camiot even establish a post office on their own soil — the character of independent sovereignty , and to reduce a national organization, clothed with all the transcendent powers of govern ment, to the name and condition of an "agency" of the States, proves nothing but that the logic of secession is on a par with its loyalty an.d patrotism. Oh , but ' 'the reserved rights ! " And Avhat of the reserved rights ? The tenth amendment of the Constitution, supposed to provide for "reserved rights," is constantly misquoted. By that amend ment, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Con stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserA7ed to the States respectively, or to the people." The "powers" reserved must of course be such as could have been, but were not delegated to the United States, — could have been, but were not prohibited to the States ; but to speak of the right of an individual State to secede, as a power that could have been, though it was not dele gated to the United States, is simple nonsense. But -waiving this obvious absurdity, can it need a serious argu ment to prove that there can be no State right to enter into a new confederation reserved under a constitution which expressly pro hibits a State to "enter into any treaty, alliance, or confedera tion," or any "agreement or compact with another State or a for eign poAver !" To say that the State may, by enacting the per- liminary farce of secession, acquire the right to do the prohibited things — to say, for instance, that though the States, in forming SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 223 the Constitution, delegated to the United States and prohibited to themselves the power of declaring war, there was by implica tion reserved to each State the right of seceding and then declar ing war ; that, though they expressly prohibited to the States and delegated to the United States the entire treaty-making power, they reserved by implication (for an express reservation is not pretended) to the individual States, to Florida, for instance, the right to secede, and then to make a treaty with Spain retroceding that Spanish colony, and thus surrendering to a foreign power the key to the Gulf of Mexico, — to maintain propositions like these, with whatever affected seriousness it is done, appears to me egre gious trifling. Pardon me, my friends, for dwelling on these wretched sophis tries. But it is these which conducted the armed hosts of rebel lion to your doors on the terrible and glorious days of July, and which have brought upon the whole land the scourge of an aggres sive and wicked war — a war which can have no other termination compatible Avith the permanent safety and welfare of the country, but the complete destruction of the military power of the enemy. I have, on other occasions, attempted to show that to yield to his demands and acknowledge his independence, thus resolving the Union at once into two hostile governments, with a" certainty ctf further disintegration, would annihilate the strength and the in fluence of the country as a member of the family of nations; afford to foreign powers the opportunity and the temptation for hu miliating and disasterous interference in our affairs: wrest from the Middle and Western States some of their great natural out lets to the sea, and of their most important lines of internal com munication ; deprive the commerce and navigation of the country of two-thirds of our sea coast and of the fortresses which protect it ; not only so, but would enable each individual State — some of them with a Avhite population equal to a good sized Northern county — or rather the dominant party in each State, to cede its territory, its harbors, its fortresses, the mouths of its rivers, to any foreign power. It cannot be that the people of the loyal States — that twenty-two millions of brave and prosperous freemen — will, for the temptation of a brief truce in an eternal border war, con sent to this hideous national suicide. Do not think that I exaggerate the consequences of yielding to 224 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. the demands of the leaders of the rebellion. I understate them. They require of us not only all the sacrifices I have named, not only the cession to them, a foreign and hostile power, of all the territory of the United States at present occupied by the Eebel forces, but the abandonment to them of the vast regions we have rescued from their grasp — of Maryland, of a part of Eastern Vir ginia ; and the Whole of Western Virginia ; the sea coast of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida ; Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri; Arkansas, and the larger portion of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas — in most of which, Avith the exception of lawless guerillas, there is not a Eebel in arms, in all of which the great majority of the people are loyal to the Union. We must give back, too, the helpless colored population, thousands of whom are perilling their lives in the ranks of our armies, to a bondage ren dered tenfold more bitter by the momentary enjoyment of free dom. Finally, we must surrender every man in the Southern country, white or black, who has moved a finger or spoken a word for the restoration of the Union, to a reign of terror as remorseless as that of Eobespierre, which has been the chief instrument by which the Eebellion has been organized and sustained, and which has already filled the prisons of the South with noble men, whose only crime is that they are not the worst of criminals. The South is full of such men. I do not believe there has been a day since the election of President Lincoln, when, if an ordinance of seces sion could have been fairly submitted, after a free discussion, to the mass of the people in any single Southern State, a majority of ballots Avould have been given in its favor. No, not in South Carolina. It is not possible that the majority of the people, even of that State, if permitted, without fear or favor, to give a ballot on the question, would haATe abandoned a leader like Petigru, and all the memories of the Gadsdens, the Eutledges, and the Coteswotrh Pinckneys of the revolutionary and constitutional age, to follow the agitators of the present day. Nor must we be deterred from the vigorous prosecution of the war by the suggestion, continually thrown out by the Eebels and those who sympathize Avith them, that, however it might have been at an earlier stage, there has been engendered by the opera tions of the war a state of exasperation and bitterness which, in dependent of all reference to the original nature of the matters SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 225 in controversy, will forever prevent the restoration of the Union, and the return of harmony between the two great sections of the country. This opinion I take to be entirely Avithout foundation. No man can deplore more than I do the miseries of every kind unavoidably incident to war. Who could stand on this spot and call to mind the scenes of the first day of July with any other feeling? A sad foreboding of what would ensue, if war should break out between North and South, has haunted me through life, and led me, perhaps too long, to tread in the path of hopeless compromise, in the fond endeavor to concilitate those who were predetermined not to be concilitated. But it is not true, as is pre tended by the Eebels and their sympathizers, that the war has been carried on by the United States without entire regard to those temperaments which are enjoined by the law of nations, by our modern civilization, and by the spirit of Christianity. It would be quite easy to point out, in the recent military history of the leading European powers, acts of violence and cruelty, in the prosecution of their wars, to which no parallel can bo found among us. In fact, when we consider the peculiar bitterness with which civil wars are almost invariably waged, we may justly boast of the manner in which the United States have carried on the contest. It is of course impossible to prevent the lawless acts of stragglers and deserters, or the occasional unwarrantable proceed ings of subordinates on distant stations; but I do not believe there is, in all history, the record of a civil war of such gigantic dimensions where so little has been done in the spirit of vindic- tiveness as in this war, by the government and commanders of the United States ; and this notwithstanding the provocation given by the Eebel Government by assuming the responsibility of wretches like Quantrell, refusing quarter to colored troops and scourging and selling into slavery free colored men from the North who fall into their hands, by covering the sea with pirates, refus ing a just exchange of prisoners, while they crowded their armies with paroled prisoners not exchanged, and starving prisoners of war to death. In the next place, if there are any present who believe that, in addition to the effect of the military operations of the war, the confiscation acts and emancipation proclamations have embittered the Eebels beyond the possibility of reconciliation, I would re- 226 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. quest them to reflect that the tone of the Eebel leaders and Eebel press Avas just as bitter in the first months of the war, nay, before a gun was fired, as it is uoav. There were speeches made in Con gress in the very last session before the outbreak of the Eebellion, so ferocious as to show that their authors were under the influence of a real frenzy. At the present day, if there is any discrimina tion made by the Confederate press in the affected scorn, hatred and contumely with which every shade of opinion and sentiment in the loyal States is treated, the bitterest contempt is bestowed upon those at the North who still speak the language of compro mise, and who condemn those measures of the administration which are alleged to have rendered the return of peace hopeless. No, my friends, that gracious Providence which overrules all things for the best, "from seeming evil still educing good," has. so constituted our natures, that the violent excitement of the pas sions in one direction is generally followed by a reaction in an opposite dn-ection, and the sooner for the violence. If it were not so — if injuries inflicted and retaliated of neoessity led to new retaliations, with forever accumulating compound interest of re venge, then the world, thousands of years ago, would have been turned into an earthly hell, and the nations of the earth would have been resolved into clans of furies and demons, each forever warring with his neighbor. But it is not so ; all history teaches a different lesson. The Wars of the Boses in England lasted an entire generation, from the battle of St. Albans in 1455, to that of Bosworth Field, in 1485. Speaking of the former, Hume says : — "This was the first blood spilt in that fatal quarrel, which was not finished in less than a course of thirty years ; which was signalized by tAvelve pitched battles ; Avhich opened a scene of extraordinary fierceness and cruelty ; is computed to have cost the lives of eighty princes of the blood ; and almost entirely annihilated the ancient nobility of England. The strong attachments which, at that time , men of the same kindred bore to each other, and the vindictive spirit Avhich was considered a point of honor, rendered the great families implacable in their resentments, and widened every mo ment the breach between the parties." Such was the state of things in England under which an entire generation grew up ; but when Henry VIL, in Whom the titles of the two Houses Avere united, went up to London after the battle of Bosworth Field, to SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 227 mount the throne, he was everywhere received with joyous" accla mations, "as one ordained and sent from Heaven to put an end to the dissensions," which had so long afflicted the country. The great rebellion of England of the seventeenth century, after long and angry premonitions, may be said to have begun with the calling of the Long Parliament in 1640, and to have ended with the return of Charles II., in 1660 — twenty years of discord, conflict and civil war ; of confiscation, plunder, havoc ; a proud hereditary peerage trampled in the dust ; a national church over turned, its clergy beggared, its most eminent prelate put to death ; a military despotism established in the ruins of a monarchy which had subsisted seven hundred years, and the legitimate sovereign ; brought to the block ; the great families which adhered to the^king. - proscribed, impoArerished, ruined ; prisoners of war — a fate w6teg&p than starvation in Libby — sold to slavery in the West Indies ;vinjr; a Avord, everything that can embitter and madden contending;'' factions. Such was the state of things for twenty years; and yet, + by no gentle transition, but suddenly, and "when the restoration of affairs appeared most hopeless," the son of the beheaded sov ereign was brought back to his father's blood-stained throne, Avith such "unexpressible and universal joy," as led the merry monarch to exclaim, "he doubted it had been his own fault he had been absent so To-day, a Nation meets to build A Nation's trophy to the dead Who, living, formed the sword and shield — ¦ The arms she sadly learned to Avield When other hope of peace had fled.

CURTIN, GOVERNOR OP PENNSYLVANIA. The programme for the exercises of the occasion having been fulfilled, calls were made by all the people present for Governor Curtin, who spoke in substance as folloAvs : Having learned last Aveek that my name occurred on the programme, for the ceremonies of this occasion, I immediately asked that it should be omitted. There did not seem to be time for such preparation as would be proper for a ceremonial like this. I am deeply grateful for your hearty and enthusiastic request that I should be heard, and I will drciw upon the inspirations of the time and the place, the connection between the event of this Sabbath day of American Freedom, and the halloAved precincts within which we all stand. It would seem to be proper for me to express the thanks sof the people of Pennsylvania to the citizens of the United States, who join Avith us to-day, and who have hitherto contributed their influ ence and means to the erection of this place of sepulture, for the remains of those avIio perished in the great battles of Gettysburg, and who, this day, surround the foundation stone of a monument to their memory. We thank the citizens of the eighteen States, Avho have given valuable and voluntary service, as trustees of the association, representing their respective States. We thank the people, who have come up here in multitudes to participate in these solemnities. We thank that patriotic and benevolent brother hood, so Avell represented here to-day by its chiefs, for their ancient rites and ceremonies, for theis words of fraternity and love, con tributed and pronounced upon the corner-stone of this structure, which is to be the monument of the devotion and fidelity to coun try of their brothers and ours. And we are fortunate in having here with us, my fellow-citizens, the Great chief who commanded the historic Army of the Potomac, on the signal day which made his fame and that of his army, forever illustrious in the annals of American history ; and Ave express Avith one voice our thanks 280 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. to him and his brave companions, so many whom remain to sur round him here, and honor us with their presence. But more than all, my fellow-citizens, let us all unite in our expressions of grati tude to the sublime heroism and unselfish patrotism of the private soldiers of the Eepublic ; for to them, above all others, we OAve the safety of our Free Government, and the return of the blessings of peace and tranquility to our distressed country. I could not but feel the unselfishness of the words of the chosen Orator of the day ; and the armless sleeve of the maimed General, seemed of itself eloquent, when he forgot the statesmen and generals of the Avar, and gave credit to the private soldier for all the glories, which now surround' the blood-stained, but forever stable Institu tions of American liberty. Our monument should be the choicest Avork of art on this con tinent; it should be made beautiful and strong; this place will forever be attractive ; the statesman can here meditate on the sacrifices made for liberty and civilization ; the soldier can study the faultless plan of battle ; and all can count here, the cost to this generation of maintaining the principles of Freedom, trans mitted to us from our ancestors ; but no Avork of art can express our feelings of gratitude for the soldiers of the Eepublic, living or dead ; he has his memory enshrined in the hearts of a grateful people, "there a monument that needs no scroll." But Avhy should I speak to you to-day? It is but two years since the death-struggle of rebellion and treason filled this A^alley, now so peaceful, with bloodshed and carnage ; and the thunders of the artillery of that eventful strife will speak to man for his freedom and individuality, until time shall be no more. Stronger than logic, sweeter than poetry, the orators of this occasion lie in their graves around you ; no .living lips can reach your hearts, as does the mute eloquence which comes up from the graves of the heroie dead. We are all of one family, my- felloAv- citizens, the living and the dead ; those Avho lie around us shed benefactions upon us by the good they did ; let us this day draw inspiration from their sublime virtues, and strive like them, to be faithful to the GoA'ernment they died-to save. We people of Pennsylvania give Praise to God, that it Avas of His mysterious Providence, that the blood of the people of eighteen SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. 281 States, here represented, should seal a covenant, made in the hour of the nation's deepest agony, that this Great Eepublic shall be for- eArer sacred to Union and fraternity, and pray him that the lessons of Gettysburg shall sink deeply into the American Heart. The remarks of Governor Curtin were uttered with a fervor and earnestness, that fastened the attention of the whole audience, and from their impassioned effect, the reporters failed to take them down as fullv as delivered. 282 SOLDIERS' NATIONAL CEMETERY. BENEDICTION, BY EEV. D. T. CAENAHAN. May the blessing of Almighty God rest upon the exercises of this day ; and upon what has been done, and shall yet be done, to perpetuate and hallow the memory of the noble deeds and he roic virtues of our patriob-soldiers who here offered up their lives upon the altar of their country, in defence of the dearest rights of man, and to preserve and perpetuate our national Union and integrity. May the Divine blessing rest upon our land and nation, upon our rulers, and upon the people, upon our army and navy, and upon all our public interests, and issue in a greater degree of pros perity and happiness than we have yet enjoyed. May the God of our fathers, who hath given us the victory over armed and organized rebellion, be our God forever and ever — our Guide, our Eock, our Eefuge, and our Glory. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all now and forever. Amen. YALE
