YoRKToWN,s MONUMENT.
a Model on Exhibition at United States
Engineer Cratghizrs Office.
IFrom Che Baltimore Amerioan.l

Colonel William P. Graighill, United
States engineer, has at present at his Office,
No. 70 Saratoga street, model of the mon
ument the cornerstone of which is to be laid
at Yorktown during the coming celebration.
The monument, which is to be the most com-
plete symbolic structure in the country, is
to be built under the personal supervision of
Colonel Craighiil. 1t is the design of
Messrs. r. NJ. Hun and j. r. a Ward of
New York, and Henry Van B.unt, of Boss
ton. who were appointed by the Secretary
of War for the purpose, and have just conn
pleted their work, From the architectural
point OF view. the monument is composed of
three principal parts: First. base which
with its symbolate and its pediments. is 81
feet high, and occupies an area of SO feet
upon the ground (; second, highly sculptu-
raj podium 253 feet high and ID feet in di>
ameter, in tho form of drum, supporting a
column; this latter, which is part third, is
gu feet high, and at the base u feet in d.
ameter. This shaft, for the sake of econo-
my, is composed of q succession of drums or
courses OF masonry, giving practical reasons
for departure from the conventional treat
ment which belong to monolithic shafts.
The joints are masked by four bands deco>
rated with laurel leaves, aud justified bv
decoration of stars symmetricaly disposed
upon them. and breaking the outline of the
column. From the symbolical point of view
the monument is intended to convey. in ar
chitectural language, the idea set forth in
the dedicatory inscription, that By the victo
ry at Yorktown the independence of the
United States of America was achieved. or
brought to final accomplishment. The four
sides OF the base contain, first, an inscrip-
ton dedicating the monument as memorial
OF the victory second, an inscription rep
resenting succinct narrative of the siege,
prepared in accordance with the original arr
chives in the Department of State third.
the treaty of alliance with the King of
France. and fourth, the treaty of peace with
the King of England. In the pediments
over these four sides respectively are pre-
sented, carved in relief, emblems of nation
ality. of war, of the alliance, and of peace.
The base is thus devoted to the historical
statement; it explains the subsequent incl
dents of the monumental composition, which
are intended to appeal solely to the imagina-
ton. The immediate result of the historic
al events written upon the base was the hap.
Ply establishment of National Union of
thirteen youthful, free and independent
States. To celebrate this joyful Union the
sculptor has represented upon the circular
podium which arises from the base solemn
dance of thirteen typical female figures hand
In hand, encircling q drum, which bears up
on belt the words, Zone Country" Gone
Constitution" "Oae Destiny" It is SYM
boil of the birth of freedom. The model will
be taken to yorktown and exhibited durino
the coming celebration.

A fatal shooting ARRAY occurred in
Waynesboro', Va, on Sunday evening week
in which a man named Kirk Kidder. of
Kentucky, was shot and instantly killed bv
VIM. Bassett, of Hanover county. Va.
brakeman on the s.. v. R. r. The difhoul>
ty, as We learn, arose by Bassett demanding
OF Kidder retraction of some reports which
he had circulated about him, and Kidder re-
fusing to make such retraction, Bassett
struck him. Kidder, being more power
full man OF the two, then got the advantage
of Bassett, and had him strained back to
throw him over the balustrade of a porch of
the Rid geway House, where the difficulty
occurred, when Bassett got his hands loose,
drew pistol, and shot Kidder through the
heart. Bassett then made his escape. and
has not, as far as we know, yet been appre-
hended. Mr.. Bassett is we'll known and has
relatives here, and the news of the affair was
a cause of much regret From all that can
be gathered, however, his act is looked nnon
by his friends here, as justifable, and + Is
thought that he committed an error in M,
giving himself up at once to the officers of
the law.
