)NEs OVER THE GRAVES OF
Union SOLDIERS.

Tits probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in 1873 Con
gress passed q law providing for the
erection of durable lleadstones over
/, the graves of soldiers Of the regular
and volunteer forces Of the United
States whose remains are inferred in
the National Military Cemeteries. This
law has been carried out, and the
graves of the Nations dead in these
cemeteries are now permanently
marked. At the instance Of the War
Department, Congress has recently au-
thorlZed the erection of similar head
stones over the graves of the Union
soldiers Who.are buried in private and
village cemeteries. This will he done
as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made. In the meantime the
Quartermaster General, at Washing
ton, will at once proceed to collect the
necessary information as to where
these headsto es are required.
All persons having any knowledge
Of the buriel places Of soldiers in pri-
yate cemeteries whose graves are not
marked, are requested to communicate
the fact to the Quartermaster General,
and give regiment, company, and date
of death Of deceased, if known. SINH
lar information is desired from parties
in charge of such cemeteries.
OF course it is not intended to fur
nish headstones for graves over which
monuments have already been erected
by relatives or friends of the deceased.
