GoRpoNsvILLE, May 81, 1866.
To the Editors Of the Dispatch:
The Board of Directors of the "Pied-
mont Confederate Cemetery Association
met yesterday at this place. Members
from Madison, Greene, Orange, and Louisa
counties were present, The meeting was
presided over by the Hon. B. Johnson Bar
bour, president of the Association. Mr..
George Stewart was elected to fill the of
fee of corresponding secretary. Mr.. b. IL.
Partlow was elected treasurer. An exc
cutive committee, consisting of MeSSrs.
B. J. Barbour, J. p. Scott, G. W. Mayors,
E. F. Cowherd, and j. L. Jones, was ap-
pointed to carry out the designs of the
Association, subject TO the supervision of
the Board of Directors. Mr.. James A.
Evans (now of Lynchburg), who was the
originator Of the Association, was unani-
mously elected an honorary member of the
Board. A circular viii be prepared and
sent to prominent gentlemen in the south
ern States, whose soldiers are buried in
this region, requesting their cooperation
with us in honoring their noble dead with
decent cemetery.
A vote of thanks to the ladies for the
benefit they rendered the Association on
the 25th-resulting in a handsome contri-
bution-was cordially adopted.
A committee was appointed to visit the
burial-grounds near this place, and make a
record Of the names of the dead so far as
it is practicable TO do so.
This list must necessarily be imperfect,
from the fact that many names on the
head boards are Obliterated in part, many
entirely, and many marked Untaolon. We
are resolved that these unknown ones shall
7 not be unhonored. Icould not escape a
feeling of deep sadness when, in passing
through the grounds, would come to a
grave marked U,has0,cn, or one without o
head-board. The friends of such must OF
course be denied the melancholy pleasure
Of knowing where they are buried. The
), funds Of the Association will be deposited
with the Albemarle Savings Institution,
there to remain, bearing interest until a
sufficiency shall be seC,s1 to enable the
committee to enclose the site which may
be selected tor the cemetery.
