The
 Cemetery inclosure will contain seven acres, and is situated south of tbe town of Gettys1 burg, ,and is the identical site where the fercest conflict occurred, and where hundreds were killed on both sides, From the top of Gene tery Hill can be seen, not only the, town of Gettysburg, but also the who'll. field of opera tons of the two great armies, which here con tended with such ferceness as to leave over 22,OO0 wounded men on the ground besides un- numbered dead.,. For the purposes of a Ma tional Cemetery, the side of q hill facing Get tysburg is laid out in half circles, around common centre, on which it is proposed to erect monument commemorating the great battle and victory. These semi-circles are d- ii; .vided by avenues, radiating from this centre and the divisions thus made are appropriated to tue different States represented upon the field, At the head of each grave will be placed broad and permanent stone, on which will be cut the name, regiment and ,Sta State of the deceased, The whole will be surrounded bya substantial stone wall, and the State of Peunsylyania; has coyenanted always to main tain the Cemetery and keep it in good order,
 Within this enclosure rest twenty-three, of ,Connecticut's honored dead, 1, and, besides, there are seventeen hundred other graves identified, and eight hundred still unknown. The Presi- dent of the United States fig expecred w b- present tn nssist in tho cnnsecratiop services, l and the, Governors of the loyal States. besides many other officials, have expressed their pur- pose of being present, Hor. Edward Everett will deliver the oration, and an ode composed for the occasion. by Prof. Longfelow, will be sung at the consecration. Altogether, we pre- sume, the occasion will be solemn and fitting. and surely it were proper for us all to hold in remembrance this day, and, over the graves of our fallen heroes, to renew our VOWS of devO- 1 tion to the Cause for which they offered up | their lives, and resolve,a~ew. to avenge their | deaths. Sacred hereafter will be -,Aa soil in l which their bodies lie monldeting, but their resting place will be marked forever with mem- ories purer and more lasting than the marble above them, and their silent graves will symbol a glorious victory, for them and for us. tri-

 TIE WAR NEws.-We have but little of freshness to report this week from the
 War. The Army of the. Potomac remains qpiescent. It was reported on Saturday, that the enemy were extending and strengthening their works on the Rapidan. All was quiet at Chattanooga at the last dates we have, (Nov. 18th ) but it was stated that rebel reinforce ments were being forwarded to Bragg with all possible dispatch, and it seems that great battle between the opposing forces must be
