THE CONFEDERATE GRAVES IN New
ORLEANs.-A young lady, writing from
New Orleans, gives the following descrip.
ton Of the graves Of Confederate soldiers
there, as they appeared on All Saints day.
She says -.
The Confederate graves were beautifully
decorated, not one neglected. They pre-
sented glorious contrast to the graves of
the Federals, some of which were. covered
with weeds, that made it almost impossible
to see the head boards. Where the Union
ladies were we should like to know InEthe
centre of the Confederate burial ground
(Which is in Cypress Grove there is across
about seven feet high, covered with black
velvet, and spangled with gold.
In golden letters, inscribed on the front
of this cross, are these words: 'sTo our
Southern brothers, by the ladies of New
Orleans. On the other side, on the GROSS
piece, are three wresths, the one on each
end being red, and the esone in the centre
white-Bhich gives the red, white and red
of our sg-while thetop Of tha cross is
sufmounted with a wreath of olive. q The
name, regiment, and place Of death is in,
scribed on each head-board. There was
not blade Of grass IN inch high to be seen
about them. Each head.board is entWined
with wreath Of evergreen, interspersed
with white flowers, 6t emblems Of the hearts
of our dead heroes, while the graves them,
selves were planted with red and white
flowers. Surely it'will be 9 qualification to
the relatives TO knowthat, though buried in
a place held by the. enemy, there are still
some hearts earnest and true, who will not
forget the last resting place Of those who
sacrificed their lives for the Of liberty.
