rebels are moving in solid masses. His
horse, a superb animal, raises his head and
distendS his no5trIlS. rs If he, too, realized
the terrible portent Of the time.
Far away, 10 the right and left stretch

Corps and Buford's Cavalry Brigade,

sanguinary July l, 1863.
THE AUDIENCE.
There were many notable figures in the
audience gathered 10 the unvaiiing.
First, in point of rank, was Hon. ". \.
Stone, Governor of Pennsylvania, a large
framed, strong, manly man, who served as
Second Lieutenant Of Co. \, 18th Pa, and
had four terms in Congress before being
elected Governor. He received the monu-
ment for the State in brief, well-worded
speech
Past ommander-in-Chief, GAR, Colonel
4Ith Pa, and Brevet Brigader-G for
gallant services during the rebellion;
BEigadier-G General Pa. National Guard, and
Brigadler-General,U U. 5. a. during Spanish
War. If Gen. Goblin continues TO live for
many years the mere list Of the honors
heaped upon him will make a bulky BIZ
ography, for he is so strong, so unfaiingly
capable, 50 uniformly genial, and does
everything that he is set 20 do with so
much success and so little friction, that
PennSyivanians always look around for
appears, and ask that he be sent to the
front. He acted as Master of Ceremonies,
presented the statue To the Governor, and
conducted the proceedings in his usual
quiet forceful, certain way.
: Brevet Brig Gen. John p. Taylor, the
gallant old Colonel Of the 1st Pa. Cav, is
the Chairman of the Battlefield Commits
sion, and was present in that capacity. As
is his custom, he had done great deal of
good, WORK without saying anything about
1t. Though his flowing red whiskers begin
10 have very evident Streaks Of gray, he is
as bright, alert and capable as when he
used 10 put his splendid old regiment into
the fight with dash that warmed Phil
Sheridan's heart 10 him
Breyet Brighten. Henry S. Huide-
cooper, late Colonel Of the 1JOth Pa. and
who lost his arm at Gettysburg, was the
Orator OF the Day, and delivered a we'll
considered, scholarly review Of Gen. Rev
nolds's life and services.
Breyet Maj-Gen. ID. Mem. Gregg, the
idol Of the old Second Division Of the Cav
airy Corps, and the hero Of the great cav
airy fight on the right at Gettysburg, was
present, but ill-health prevented him re-
spending 10 the calls for a speech.
MaJ.-Geu. Daniel T.. Sickles was present.
OF course, as he always is when anything OF
interest is going on at GettvsbIirg. He
has labored long, hard and effectively 10
make the Gettysburg Park what il is, and
no man IS entitled TO more credit for IL He
shows no signs of times changes. and
rather proudly proclaims to all fnquirers
that he is now in his 74th year. He looks
20 years younger, but Scorns 10 take ad-
vantage Of his appearance.
Breyet MaJ.-Gen. Joshua L. Chamber
lain, the Professor in the Army" and who
went out as Lieutenant-Colonelo of the 2Oth
Me, made brief, excellent speech. He
has become very white in hair and whiskers
but his voice rings out sharply and in
cisively as ever.
Col. j. p. Nicholson, the Secretary of the
Battlefield Commission, who has done a
world OF good work, was present TO see that
al arrangements worked smoothly, asthey
did.
The handsome and genial TON" Stewart
AdJutant-General of the Grand Army of the
Republic and Adjutant-General of the
ptale OF pennsylvania, was present in full
UNIFORM, representing the power and
majesty OF the land and naval forces of the
Commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA. Tom"
old not make any speech. He does not
have to when he is in uniform. His looks
are more eloquent than any words.
One OF the most warmly greeted Of all
visitors was Maj.-Gen. Jas. S. NegIey.
formerly Commander of a division in the
army OF the Cumberland, and Member of
Congress from Pittsburg. Pa, for several
terms. 1t was surprising to all how we'll
the General Is looking. His color is as
good, his eye as bright, and his step as firm
and quick as ever He onlv COMPLAINS of
occasional trouble given him by the wound
received in the Mexican war. He was ac-
eompanied by his daughters-two very
handsome, bright, ViVacious girls. The
General now lives at Piainfield, \. J.
Ihe day was all that could have been
expected TO insure the entire success Of the
occasion. 1t is sufficient 10 say that it was
genuine July day in Pennsylvania.
