Another Gettysburg Monument.

At the last Reunion Of the Fourteenth Con-
necticut Veteran Association, held at New
London, a committee consisting of Comrades
T. G. Ellis, H. 5. Stevens, J. W. Knowlton,
b. Hirst, j. c. Broatch, w II. Tubbs and c.. w.
Norton, was appointed to obtain pledges Of sub
scriptions, and invite and examine designs, for
u suitable monument to be erected at Gcttys-
burg, Penn, on some portion OF the position
occupied by that regiment on the 2d and Sd of
July, 1868, during the memorable battle at that
place to commemorate the history of the rcgi-
mcnt, particularly in connection with the
Gettysburg engagements. The history of the
REGIMENT is il remarkable one, and one that the
survivors may we'll be proud to call attention
to and to perpetuate. Engaged in thirty-four
battles and skirmishes- of the battles the
greatest of the whole war-they lost more men
DyO rata than any other Connecticut regiment
The losses in killed were IL 2-5 per cent. of its
number, and Of killed and died of disease in
service y Is per cent. Although in the
service shorter time than any other regi-
ment of the State which lost heavily, the one
approaching nearest in losses lost in killed S
Is per cent, and in killed and died of disease
Is per cent. At Gettysburg, more than 40 per
cent. of its men were killed or wounded. 1t
occupied almost the center of the enemy's
point of attack at the time of the terrific
fighting of the third day of the battle. It's
men captured large number of prisoners and
five battle-flags
The Gettysburg Battlefield Association
now owns more than one half of the ground
occupied by the Union forces ON the second and
third days of the fighting, and designs to
keep it sacredly memorial of the great
struggle wagcd there. BreastwOrks, rifle
pits and redans have been restored, roads
constructed, and numerous monuments are
being set up to the memories of men who fell
or cgiments that fought there. No regiment,
it is claimed, occupied on that field a position
