ORIGIN of the Mnvemenf

December I. 1855 the Veteran Brother
hood of Kansas was organized, antedating
by several months the organization of many
of the departments which now claim to
outrank Kansas That organization was a
secret society, and held a state camp at
Topeka In June. 1896. at which there were
over fifty camps represented. The organiza-
ton was the work of Brew. Lieut.. Col.
Henry S. Greene of the 4th Arkansas Cav
airy. then residing in Topeka.
Colonel Greene called the state meeting
and Col J. c. Hayes of Olathe was chosen
called at Indianapolis. for November. to
organize a national order. to be called the
Grand Army Maj. I. J. Anderson of To-
peka was sent as n representative of the
Kansas organization and was duly admit
ted to the Indianapolis convention. After
the full discussion of all the features of the
new association a resolution was intro
duced by Major Anderson. and passed,
which was to the effect that the command
er-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public be authorized TO receive in the order
the members of the organization known as
the Veteran Brotherhood. state OF Kansas,
without additional expense to them. upon
the grand encampmert of that order accept
ing the ritual of the Grand Army of the
Republic. and agreeing to be governed by
the constitution and bylaws of the same.
About month later, December 4. 1866
the second annual meeting of the Kansas
Veteran Brotherhood was held in Topeka.
that being the anniversary of the original
rounding of the order At this meeting a
resolution was offered by Major Anderson
and unanimously adopted. which set forth
that the Veteran Brotherhood. state of
Kansas. be and is hereby transferred to the
Grand Army of the Republic. and that we
hereby adopt the ritual and agree to be
governed by the rules and regulations of the
Grand Army of the Republic
The necessary action was taken making
the formal transfer of the funds. books
papers, etc. to the order of the Grand
Army of the Republic" and Major Ander-
son duly initiated each delegate present into
the order.

as a military officer. He subsequently

officer well. for he roomed in my neighbor-

A year before the war, his health having
become broken while serving at an isolated
post. he came here to visit a brother and
took rooms in his brothers house. On his
return from short visit to his old home in

the attendants were walking the patients In

To the little group of which this afflicted

that the reports were caused by artillery

THE TUNE OF DIXIE FAIRLY CAP
TURED, HE SAYS.
At the navy yard this morning the work.
men were promptly on the spot at bell ring,
but on account of the news their hearts
were too full to allow them to go to work;
and after answering to their names they
procured martial music and marched in the
yard, paying their respects to the comma
dant. Commodore Montgomery, who ad-
dressed them In appropriate patriotic Ian
guage. They also waited on Master Morris,
who addressed them, and on Captain letters
of the ordnance. who was too much indis-
posed to make a speech. The procession
then proceeded to the flag staff on Virginia
avenue, where an impromptu meeting was
held, and a salute from two howitzers, in
charge of Mr.. John w. Thompson, was
fired.
They first visited the residence of secre-
tary Wells on H street, but he not being
at home they proceeded to the Executive
Mansion, where they were joined by a
large crowd. with which was the quarter
masters band, and after a salute had been
fred by the howitzers several national
airs been played by the bands, followed by
loud and prolonged cheering, the President
made his appearance amid tremendous ap-
plause. After order was restored he spoke
as follows:
SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT.

the fact that an occasion has occurred so
pleasurable that the people find it impos
sible to refrain from giving vent to their

Stephenson, commanding the department,
and Robert NJ. Woods. adjutant general.
He then went with the members of tho
staff to other states forming posts, but the
first regular department organization was
established in Wisconsin. Then followed
the Departments of Ohio. Missouri, Indiana
and the order spread rapidly all over the
west.
Major Woods has been in the city attend
ing the national encampment and has been
paid great deal of attention by the older
members of the G. A. R., who realize what
he did for the order during its infancy and
like Stephenson, how little return was given
him when the order became an established
fact. Major Woods has been in active news
paper work ever since the war, having been
the editor of the Joliet Daily Republican
for fifteen years. He is now living in Chi
cago. He will sail for Europe when he
leaves this city to take an extended tour Of
the old world. His daughter who is with
him here, will accompany him.

THE SITUATION.

AS close readers for the past three or four
days will have perceived, the good cause
of the Union is rapidly closing and tighten
ing its grasp upon the two strongholds Of
the Observation-Disclosures and Atlanta The
events of the past ten days in the vicinity
of Richmond and Petersburg have demon
strated the inability of the rebels to check
the successive movements of Grant in that
quarter. He now holds position about Dutch
Run Gap and Deep Bottom. from which
he threatens at any moment to make sue
cessful dash at Richmond. and in front of
which-to prevent him from doing-they
must keep a considerable portion of Lees
army, a portion so large that the bal
ance have not proved large enough to dis
lodge our 9Th Corps from the command of
the Weldon railroad, south of Petersburg
though if not speedily dislodged their com
mand of that work must necessitate. sooner
or later. the abandonment of Virginia by
the rebels.

distinguished Secretary of State. The rebel
deputation cannot, therefore, aver that they
were not afforded full opportunity to make
their representations to our government,
even though they We're not permitted to
visit Washington.
The result. of the interview was as we
have anticipated, and as we have prepared
our readers to expect. The rebels, or their
leaders. at least, are not yet prepared to
accept the only terms we can offer, 1.e., to
lay down their arms and return to the
Union. 1t is we'll that the mask has been
thus effectually stripped from the face OF
these assumed peace commissioners by
President Lincoln and Secretary Seward. All
parties here will now recognize that there
is to be no peace short of fighting the thing
squarely through.
While Lees army remains intact at Rich
mond there can be no peace worth having.
So push on the column. Forward Peace
Commissioners Grant and Sherman!

THE END OF THE REBELLION.
The thrilling intelligence buzzed about
Washington at late hour of the surrender
of Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia
was fully and officially announced at day
light this morning by the thunder of ar
tillery and the joyous ringing of bells.
With this surrender perisnes the last hope
OF the rebels and their sympathizers, who
have pinned their faith upon Lee, and de-
spite defeat and disaster to their cause, cul-
minating in the loss of Richmond, have yet
talked of the successive Surrenders OF vital
point by the rebels as profoundly "strate-
getfc, with a view to concentrating the
rebel armies at some interior point, where
they could bid defiance indefinitely to the
Union forces.
But even the New York News will hardly
be able to hold the surrender of Lee and
his army up to its readers as "a blessing in
disguise for the confederacy, or a mas
terly piece of policy" on the part of the
confederate leaders. When Lee, the wisest
and bravest of the confederate leaders, sees
no ray of hope for the confederate cause
and voluntarily lays down his arms to pre-
vent the further and futile effusion of blood
the most credulous optimists among his
followers must accept his judgment as de-
ciSive. . .
