vCKSBURc MILITARY PARK.
Bill to Buy 1000 Acres of Land and
Appropriate $4,000.


Washington, Feb. 3.-The bill pro-
yiding for the establishment of the
yiclsburg national military park,
where the principal operations of the
war in and around that city were car
:iei on, has been reported to the house
by Representative Bishop (Mich.) from
tie military affairs committee. The
whole amount Of land embraced in the
proposed reservation covers about 1000
acres, the cost Of which is not to exceed
$4,000 The $4,000 additional which
the bill proposes to appropriate Will be
used in making accurate surveys of
the various lines of both the union AM
confederate armies, building roads,
clearing the grounds and so far as pos
siole restoring the various forts, re-
doubts and intrenchments connected
with that memorable siege. The entire
plan and scope of the bin follows very
closely upon that adopted in the estab-
lishment of the Chickamauga park, ex-
ccpt that the cost will be only n frac-
,ion of the amount devoted to the
Chickanauga field.
Four of the great battle fields
Gettysburg, Antietam, Chickamauga
and Shiloh-says the accompanying re-
port, have by congressional enactment
been dedicated as national parks, as
they had before been consecrated by
the best blood of the American youth
in both armies. The Importance of
the campaign and siege of Vicksburg
is not inferior TO any of the fields now
dedicated. The siege and the operations
connected Herewith were participated
in by troops from the following states:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina,

him the following letter:
"IIoN. JOHN X. GowDY: In view of the
resolutions passed by the state central
committee at its recent meeting, and of the
fact that delegates to the national repub-
lican convention are soon to be chosen in
this state, ] have concluded that some
statement from me as to my wishes ana
purposes should now be made to my In
diana friends. Hitherto | nave declined TO
speak to the public upon this matter, but
scores Of friends to whom | have talked
and many scores more to whom | have
written VIII recognize In this expression
the substance of what have said to them.
To everyone who has proposed to promote
my nomination / have said No. There
never has been an hour since left the
white house that / have felt q wish to re-
turn to 1t. My Indiana friends have been
most devoted and faithful and l am their
grateful debtor. The republican party has
twice in national convention given me Its
Endorsement and that is enough. / think
the voters of our party are now entitled TO
have a new name. For the sentiment,
great and small, that has been manifested
for my nomination, l am grateful, and of
that wider respect and Misunderstanding
party lines-which have been shown me in
so many ways. am profoundly apprecia-
tive.
II cannot consent that my name be pre-
scented to or used in the st. Louis conven-
ton, and must kindly ask my friends to ac-
cept this as sincere and final expression
upon the subject.
Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 3.
The politicians close TO Mr.. Harrison
have feared that he would fatty refuse
the use of his name if crowded too
closely upon the subject, and they re-
gard the RESOLUTIONS of loyalty"
adopted by the state committee last
week as the prime cause of the letter.
Even in spite of these resolutions they
had continued to hope that he would
continue to say nothing and quietly
permit the Use of his name. Nobody
here questions the entire sincerity of
the letter, and they regard Gen. Harri-
son as definitely out of the race.
