HE UNION DRAD ON THE BATTLE FIELDS
OF VIRGINIA

Quartermastor General Meigs is contem-
plating the renewal of the remains of Union
soldiers from the battle fields of Bull Run,
Kettle Run, and other battle fields or cemete-
ries of the rebellion, along the line of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, between
Alexandria and the Rappahanneck Crossing.
The remains will be brought to Arlington
Cemetery, and deposited in stone vaults, under
ground, over which cairns or pyramids of
stones may be erected. Col. NJ. L. Ludington,
Chief Quartermaster, Department of Wash.
ington, who was directed to make the neces-
sary preliminary examination, has received a
report from an officer who has Investigated

field. He states that many of the bodies there

earth was thrown over a soldier where he fell
The action of the weather has removed this
scanty covering of loose soil, and the bones of
our patriot dead lay bleaching in the fields
Hogs have rooted out the remains Of many,
and in some cases, it is said, the bones of our
brave soldiers have been sold to the bone
grinders. Where the dead lay thick upon the
field, large numbers were buried together in
trenches, and in such cases the remains have
not been disturbed. But in removing them it
VIII be hard to distinguish "Union" from
''rebel'' bodies. There they lay together, friend
and foe and button or two, or a shred of
blue or grey clothing, affords an uncertain
index Of the politics of the wearer, as necessity
often compelled the Confederate soldier to don
the Federal blue.
1t is also reported that the monuments erected
ON the Bull Run battle fields last summer
nave been mutilated and almost DESTROYED by
eyil-disposed persons in their vicinity.
