Description of the Gettysburg Monument.
The Philadelphia Inquirer saYs:

lDe IHllduelpnla inquirer says
"The design of Gettysburg monument is
adapted for execution either in marble or in
granite and bronze, as may be deemed ex-
pedient, the material being, of course, con-
trolled entirely by the amount appropriated.
The whole rendering of the design is in.
tended to be purely historical, telling its
own story with such simplicity that any dis.
corning mind viii readily comprehend its
meaning and purpose.
The superstructure is sixty six feet high,
and consists of a massive pedestal sixty-fve
feet square at the base, and is crowned with
colossal statue representing the Genus Of
Liberty. Standing upon three quarter
globe, she raises with her right hand the
victor's wreath Of laurel, 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 pedes-
tai are four buttresses, supporting an equal
number of allegorical statues, representing
respectively War, History, Peace and Plenty.
"War is personifed by statue Of the
American soldier, who, resting from the
conflict, relates to History the story of the
battle which this monument is intended 10
commemorate.
"History, in listening altitude, records
with stylus and tablet the achievements o
the field, and the names of the honored
dead.
"Peace is symoolized by a statue of The
American mechanic, characterized by ap
propriate accessories.
"Plenty is represented by female fig
ure, with sheaf Of wheat and fruits of the
earth, typifying peace and abundance as ih'
soldiers browning triumph.
"The panels Of the main die between tht
statues are to have inscribed upon then
such inscriptions as may hereafter be &c
termined.
THE main die Of the pedestal is octago
nal in form, paneled upon each face. Th
cornice and plinth above are also octagonaY
and are heavily moulded. Upon this plint
rests an octagOnal moulded base, bearing up
on its face, in high relief, the national arms
The upper die and cap are circular il
form, the die being encircled by stars cqua
in number with The States whose sons con
tributed their lives as the price OF the vic
tory won at Gettysburg"

For years to come old iron will be plerti-

large foundries. No one will be able to
stick spade in the ground east aud south
of the city without striking againsta piece,
and the plow in nearly every furrow, will
turn up "lamp post" or a mortar, or some
kind of missile. Now and then we shall
probably hear of a man, horse, and plough
flying towards the clouds, When they ex-
plode these shells are no respectors of flesh.
