names once 30 familiar. Some were so
conspicuous from position, character, the
manner of their death or other circum-
stances, that they will be remembered per-
fectly by all who belonged to the regiment
while they lived. And each Of the names,
whether remembered by all or not, has its
separate history, is a figure in a distinct
set Of associations, and has its OWE proper
place in the memory of some of the sur
viVors.

On account of he pressure on our col
umns, we are compelled to omit this morn
ing, the long list of deaths, from wounds
or otherwise ; from May 9th, 1864, to June
30th, 1862, inclusive.
This is the roll of our dead heroes. The
rs FspPssmiRSST 9f s88Yps fs Msre carefully and tender;
places near their homes. The bodies of
most of them are where they died. They
lie scattered broadcast among the rugged
mountains of West Virginia, along the
beautiful Kanawhs from its sources to its
mouth, on the eastern slope of south Noun
tain, and by Antietsm Creek in Maryland,
ell along the Shenandoah, throughout the
Valley of Virginia, on the upper waters of
the James River, 10 the buryiDg grounds of
loyal hospitals from Cincinnati to New York,
and in nameless graves, near rebel prisons,
from Virginia to Georgia. Their dust is
mingled with that of patriots from all the
loyal States who suffered and died as they
did. They will be seen no more on earth.
Their homes, sorrow stricken and desolate,
will be gladdened never more by their re-
turn. Butthe memory of their lives, their
virtues, their s~utferings, and their heroic
death, these remain to us, to their relatives
and to their country. Let us hope that the
Providence which has preserved Us q Ma
tiou, may be with the bereaved of our COM
rades, and that this whole Nation whose
material greatness seems now to stand so
strong, may grow also in the stature of q
moral manhood, until it becomes q fit mon
ument to commemorate all who, in the line
of duty, have fallen in this sad but right
eous struggle.
On the conclusion of the address the
band played a dirge, after which Rev. Mr..
WOlcOtt made a few appropriate and elo-
quent remarks at the request of the officers
of the regiment. He then offered g fervent
n impressive prayer of dedication and
conservation, whereupon the ceremonies
were concluded. The soldiers were allowed
to break ranks, and proceed to the city as
it pleased them. The officers and many
friends of the regiment fingered for further
inspection of the monument, and their
universal expression concerning it, was
that of admiration.
The eminent fitness of such proceedings
as those of the 23d in erecting and con-
secrating an enduring monument like that
dedicated in the Cemetery IN Saturday,
must be apparent to every mind. The men
of this regiment who have given their
lives for the life of their country, still live
in that marble, and the names will forever
be a reminder, not only to the surviving
comrades, but to all who may ever read the
inscriptions on that tablet, of the hard
ships and heroic conduct of noble mel who
consented even into death, out of their love
and undyiDg devotion to their country.
Put it was not merely fit that the survivors
such erect a commemorative shaft in honor
of the dead,-it was in one sense due. And
in thus taking the initiative the regiment
has honored itself and set a worthy exam
pie, which will no doubt be initiated by
many other regiments of this and other
States.
Our CRY HOsPITAL.-This beautiful, no.
bic, and SO much needed edifice is nearly
completed. Fifty-six thousand dollars
have been paid on it, thirty-fve have been
collected, and ten thousand are wanted to
finish and furnish it. Where can we find
the means to pay the standing debt, and
