like Gov. Morton's suggestion of q
monument 20 the fallen braves Of Indiana;
but what shall it be? Not graveyard
on the banks of White River, full of
mosquitoes and snakes, unhealthy to visit
at evening and morning hours. Can't
We do something more worthy Of the
Great West? ,f.
indianapolis stands in the middle of q
diluvial plain. For fifty miles around
there is not hill worthy of the name.
The absence of natural scenery is tho
great defect of the city as we'll as of the
State in general. Cannot we erect mon
ument that will correct this defect, and
be in harmony with the spirit OF antique
ty. and with the gigantic scale on which
nature has laid out the Western country.
Twenty two hundred years ago, Alsxan-
der the Great celebrated the memory of
the Grecian heroes by marching round
the tumulus of Achilles. Antiquity
marked the resting place of her heroes by
piles that centuries could not oblitsrats-
The Egyptian pyramids were m monumen-
tai. Northern Europe and Asia are full
of mounds marking the resting place Of
the heroic dead. The mounds of the
West prove that even the ''untutored In
dian" honored the mighty chiefs that had
passed away. Let us beat the Greeks, the
Scythians, the Indians, and even the old
Egyptians.
But how is the expense to be met!
Let the fund to be raised according to the
Governors plan be expended in purchas-
ing about $50 acres of land, north of the
city, near Fall Creek. In the center of
it erect pyramid, piling up the earth ia
ken from the whole surface to the depth
of ten or fifteen feet. Let the water of
the creek into the vacant space so as to
form an artificial lake With the mound
in the center. adorned by sepulchral mon
uments. Place on the summit q marble
temple and shaft that can be seen for fiftv
miles around, and that in all coming gem
erations will strike guilt into the hunky
soul Of every Copperhead that looks to-
ward the capitol. ss- IA
Let the fund raised be expended as far
as it will 60 in starting the work. Then.-
in the fall Of every year, instead Of q
big cattle show at the State Fair, call
on delegations from all the counties to.
encamp here for certain days, and labor
in the work Of piling up the mound. No
county will refuse her quota. The return
ed soldiers will not be slow to cast o.
shovelful of earth on the monumental
pile Of their loved comrades. Even wo-7
men viii contribute their aid. Keep that
mp for ten or fifteen years. until we have
a pile that will beat old Cheops. Make
this the Mecca Of Indiana. Annually cell
Iebrate the memory of the noble dead by
professions. reviews. funeral addresses.
and patriotic songs. and show the world
that the Great West has a great heart
that will ever throb with the same spirit
that prompted her noble dead to give their
lives for their country Correspondence

EXECUTIVE DEpARTMEsr.


INDIANAPOLIS, May 25. 1868. !
To the People Of Lnaiana:
propose that the people Of Indians
shall purchase tract of land. say one huu-
dred acres, in the neighborhood of Indian
apolis. to be converted into Q cemetery
for the burial Of Indiana officers and sol
diers. ~
That upon this ground Q monument
shall be erected, upon which shall be in
scribed the names of the battles in which
Indiana troops have been engaged.
That the ground shall be appropriately
laid off into lots, with paths and carriage
ways. and adorned according to the de-
sign, and under the direction of q COM
petent person or board.
That lot shall be designated and set
apart for each Indiana regiment and bat
terry. upon which doubtless the regiments
end batteries will erect monuments or me.
MORALS according to designs. and hear
ing inscriptions to be determined on and
furnished by themselves. ,..4
That all Indiana officers and soldiers,
wherever they may die, whether during
the war or after peace shall have been re-
stored. shall be entitled to be buried in
this cemetery.
And to this end. propose that subscrip-
tion books be opened in every county in
the State. and to invite all persons who
are grateful to our soldiers, and revere
their memories, to subscribe at least one
dollar.
A meeting will he called to select per-
sons to open subscription books. and to
prepare articles for legal association.
which all persons friendly to tho enter
prise are invited to attend. ,t.r

the same month, was received several days

These resolutions. as understand them,
are resolvsble into two propositions-first,
the expression Of a purpose to sustain the
cause Of the Union, to secure peace thro'
victory. and to support the Administra-
tion in every constitutional aud lawful
measure to suppress the rebellion; and Sec
ondly, declaration Of censurc upon the
Administration for supposed unconstitu-
tionsl action. such as the making of mill
tary arrests And. from the two PROPOSE
tions, q third is deducsd, which is that the
gentlemen composing the meeting are rs.
solved on doing their part to maintain
our common government and country, dos
pite the folly or wickednsss. ~ they may
conceive. of any Administrations. This
position is sminently patriotic and -
such. 7 thank the meeting. and eongratu-
