tiou of NJ. Lincoln TO tie south to lag
down their arms and that the right &c

cause OF this was the fact that the camp
on this side of the grave has grown small
er than the camp on the other side. These
sentiments, he said, do not come from any
party but from such men as Charles

At THE CEMETERY.
Not less than 4. 600 people went to the
cemetery, in carriages, in street ears, on
foot, any way to get there, all anxious to
pay homage TO the patriot dead. The post
held its beautiful rituaiistic ceremony at
the circle, plat of ground set apart by
the owners of Maple Grove cemetery. for
the use of the grand army. After this
was over and the squad OF men from the
battery had fired the military salute, the
members of the Grand Army and citizens
generally, visited every grave, and with
loving hands, grateful hearts and fearful
eyes, scattered choicest flowers thereon.
1t was beautiful sight, and affecting as
well. Gray haired men and women, side
by side with little tots hardly old enough
TO comprehend the meaning OF 1t, all bent
on the same errand, vieing with each other
to see who could make the most beautiful
decoration, with the tendersst care seek
ing out every grave in which slept one
who had once fought for uuion, liberty
and humanity, and defend their couutry's
honor. In all shat vast number OF graves,
not one was missed, and tonight the per-
fume of sweet flowers rises from that city
Of the dead ike odorous incense on the
altar Of liberty.
