THE YORKTOWN MONUMENT.

We have recently visited this
heroic spot that is now as well
kn0 n in the anDals of war as
MarengO, Austerlitz or Waterloo.
The town has not grown any since
the surrender of COrnwallis. lt
stands on a prominent bluff on the
south side Of the York river, about
eight miles from its mouth.
The monument is built of a beau
tiful dark granite and stands in a
very conspicuous position near the
river. 1t is crowned with the God
dess of Liberty with outstrected
arms and hands as ii in the act OF
blessing Yorktown or the battle
field. In point of beauty it excels
any similar monument that has
come under Onr observation.
The Nelson house that stood
here before and during The sirge Is
Sill standing III Al excellent state
Of preservation II bears snnie
battle sraIs upon Is wallis, caused
by projectilcs thrown from the
feet commanded by Court de
Grasse. The redouts and field.
works are near if not wholly Obht-
Grated.
The York flows on 10 the sea
as majestically as at the surrender,
but we saw nothing to indicate In
the least anything like commerce.
We made observations up and
down the river, but not sail could
we discover. There is a magnifi-
cent harbor at Yorktown where
the largest ocean steamers can
come and ride safely. 1t is about
forty miles long and the most beau.
tlful sheet of water within the
borders of the State.
The country around Yorktown
exhibits but little thrift, negroes
are seen in every direction in their
log cabins, cultivating their patches
with their little bulls with cone
shaped horns hitched to their stick
carts. This has been the
Eden of Virginia and will be again.
Here resided the educated, wealthy
and refined down to the breaking
out of the late war and prlnceIy
hospitality was dispensed in every
household. The county produced
every luxury the heart cIaved, and
the people we're happy. This in
cubus did not exist then. The
negro had to be released from his
thraldom in order to produce these
dedlorable results, which must
continue on until there can be
a radical change in the population
in some way. The highways IN
this section were in a better cOndi
tion than we expected to find them

exclaimed "Oh, | am so relieved
