The Chickamauga Festivities.

A
able spectacle Of a reunited people fr.
ternizing on the spot where, thirt,
two years ago, they joined in deadI
com bat. The field of Chickamaug,
celebrated as one Of the hardest-fougl
actions in history, was dedicated wit
appropriate ceremonies to the memo
ry OF those who took part in the BAT
tie, as well as to the honor and glor,
81 the preserved republic under which
IT IS possible for the survivors of boil
the armies to meet as equal citizens O.
a proud nation. Both North and
South joined in the ceremonies. The
valor Of the combatants--in whom. d.
American soldiery, North and South
take equal pride-and the loyalty of
all sections to-day were the themes OF
eloquence and song. The governors
OF several states took part. Vermont
sent three onc-armed representatives,
her governor, lieutenant governor and
bold Gen. Howard. Gov. Woodbu-
rvs speech, though short, has the true
ring. He honors the South for its
bravery and its devotion to its cause.
Concerning that cause he said he could
not teach his children anything else
than that it was wrong, sentiment
which provoked the governor of Ten
nesee to somewhat acrid reply. Gov.
Woodbury's speech in full was as fol-
lows:
vermont has not the honor OF hay-
ing had any troops in the great his
toric battles which were fought upon
the fields which we have met here to |
but her patriotic citizens de-
sire to participate in some small way
in these ceremonies. The Vermont
troops served on other fields with n

other state. believe that these cere-
monies will tend to dispel any ami

Is they mingle more and become bet

ause OF their good qualities each will
steem the other more highly. This
meet OF the blue aud gray is a sort OF
owe feast in which the gray are taken
nto full connection with the Union {
hurch. No Drawer soldiers ever fought
han those Of the South, and valor al
rays excites admiration. There is !
