OAKWO0D'S DEAD.
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN CITY oFFI-
GERS AND MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.
The Soldiers Graves 10 be Lsvslled, but
Locating Diagram to be Made
and Preserved

A meeting Of the City Council Com
mittee on Cemeteries was held yester-
day, at which, in accordance with a re-
quest previously made, the City Attor-
ney reported that during the war the
Council of the city of Richmond placed
at the use Of the Confederate authorities
for the burial of deceased soldiers that
portion OF Oakwood cemetery now
known as the Soldiers Section" He
had seen on record a letter from the
Secretary OF War accepting the ground
on the terms proposed. The war over,
tie Confederacy dissolved, the Memo
rial Association was organized to care
FOR these graves, and have ever since
been doing It.
THE HEAD-BoARDs.
The following letter was laid before
the committee
RICHMOND. April %, 1883.
Mr. r. mn, Chairman Committee on
Cemeteries:
] am instructed By the "Boarl Of
Managers Oakwood Memorial Associa-
ton to report to the City Council Com
mittee on Cemeteries the decision OF the
meeting held April oath in reference
TO certain proposals of that body
for improving the grounds Of the section
OF Oakwood cemetery set apart for Con
federate dead. The association recog-
nizes fully that the decay Of the wooden
head-boards and the impossbility Of re-
newing them makes their removal no
longer matter OF choice, but q necessi-
ty. The reluctance of the association
heretofore to accede 10 this proposition
OF the Committee on Cemeteries has been
due to the fact that from year 10 year
inquiries come by person on letter from
States that helped HbcrQiy to erect
those boards. In view of this 1t was
thought right to let them remain as long
as they could be a means OF locating
graves. And now IN giving full consent
to the committee 10 remove the boards,
and by plougbing or other means
make the improvements suggested, Il
is earnestly hoped that map or diagram
Of the grounds will be made, to enable
future inqurers to find graves named IN
the register OF Oakwood Memorial Asso-
citation. Books TO assist such work can
be had on application to the secretary.
The association Will cooperate with the
committee in carrying Quits plans es far
as practicable. It's to be WndcrstOoa that
ali SlaJs and monuments Of stone are to
be left as they now stand in the section.
If future conference with the association
is desired by the committee the secretary
will, If notified, call a meeting for that
purpose.
Hoping this communication may be
satisfactory, am respectfully yours,
Mrs. {. PoYTHREsS,
Secretary Oakwood Memorial Associa-
tion, 290i Broad street.
On motion the chairman was autho-
rized by the committee to ascertain what
the suggested diagram and the proposed
improvements will cost, and to report at
a future meeting.

WHAT TT I5.

The convention was organized in
Augusta, Ga, forty-three years ago, on
the occasion of the withdrawal OF south
ern Baptists from cooperation with
northern Baptists in mission work. It's
object is "to promote foreign and do
nestle missions and other important OBJ
jects connected with the Redeemer's
kingdom" and its operations are CON
Quoted through a Foreign Mission Board
at Richmond AID Home Mission Board
at Atlanta. The convention has no
legislative powers, but is simply a mis-
sionary body for carrying into effect the
benevolent intentions of its constituents,
by organizing plans for eliciting, com
bining, and directing the energies OF the
whole denomination in one sacred effort
for the propagation of the Gospel"

their prayers with his for his welfare.
IL was now seven years since he was con-
