Capt. Rounds Statement.
In his supplemental statement capt.
Round says:
1.-The Army of the Potomac. the might
lest of history, on May 23. 1865. passed
in grand review before the nations on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. ID. {.
Then the veterans marched back 10 their
camps on the Virginia hills. They were
disba nded, bearing with them the proud
satisfaction that the republic OF Wash
ington and Lincoln had been saved to
humanity for all time But before they
went to their homes they paused long
enough TO erect two Monuments. which
will forever mark the beginning OF 1.-THE
great war for the Union. These unique
memorials were not shafts of victory.
The brave men who built them sung not
their own praises. They inscribed there
on no words of denunciation for brave
opponents, for whom they had soldier
sympathy and toward whom went ont
a soldiers admiration. But, rs they
sa " the bones of their younger brothers
who fought and fell in those earliest
hours of discoura cement and gloom they
tenderly gathered them together ana
with own hands. and with such tools
as they had in their camps. fashioned
hastily from the native brownstone these
Rude Memorials.

July n, 1861 and In memory of the pa
triots who fell August -. ~ and 10.
1852 The one. twenty feet high. stands
on Henry hill where. as undisci-
pIined recruits, they suffered their first
defeat, and where. thirteen months later
under Sykes and Reynolds and Reno,
they had stood against the triumphinc
legions of Lonsstreet and Lee
1.-The other monument. sixteen feet
high, was located on the Groveton farm.
where in. the second battle superhuman
efforts had been made to dislodse Jack
son from his intrenched position on the
unfinished railroad cut. Both monuments
were consecrated by the same ceremony
on the same day. Sunday, June il. 1860.
Capt. Round added that the inception
OF the first Bull Run monuments came
from the suggestion of two sisters in the
District of Columbia.

Government Should Act.
None but the government of that ma
ton can care for and protect them, and
they. even, are barred, for they cannot
trespass upon private property. How
much. then. depends upon the action Of
Congress in securing possession of suffi-
cient land, while 1t is available and cheap.

consisting OF 12s acres, probably the only
spot in the worlds history where two
great battles were ended upon single
iield, can be purchased at a moderate
figure and this embraces one of the
original monuments. The small portion
Of land necessary to secure possession of
the other monument, that of Groveton
Heights. can be obtained at reasonable
cost.
These two points secured. there re-
mains only the purchase of a few narrow
strips for the purpose of constructing the
necessary roadways connecting them. and
the construction Of two driveways. one
on either side of the Warrenton pike, for
carriages and automobiles. The roads ap-
preaching to. and on. the battlefield are
in a deplorable condition. making visits
to the location very undesirable. With
good roadways. the field being so near
to the capital. it is rea sonable to believe
that the place would soon become attrac-
tive to the people of that city and the
surrounding country. The committee
would, therefore, recommend to the en-
campment, that, instead of asking Con-
gress to purchase large quantities OF
land which would practically be useless
for the purpose. the suggestions of the
committee be Endorsed and Congress,
through its committee on military affairs.

Chairman Visits Battlefield.
'Comrade Wagner having resigned from
the committee on account of the accumu-
lation Of committee work and other press
ing duties. the comma nder-in-chief Com
rade Nevius, appointed as chairman Of
the committee Comrade William J. Wells
of Pennsylvania. who having accepted the
appointment. May 1. , and 3, at the solicit
tation of Comrade George C.. Round of
Picket Post, Manassas, Va. visited the
cOmrade as his guest. 1t is we'll to say
here that Comrade Round deserves COM
mendatiOn of the comrades Of the G. A. R.
and of the national encampment for his
untrng interest in having the national
government act In this matter for the
preservation of the salient features of this
important battlefield. He is thoroughly
conversant with it's every detail, and
makes an excellent guide his service, as
such, being freely given to any visiting
comrade, even to the sacrifice of his in
dividual time.
During the entire three days of the
chairmans visit to Manassas he was
conducted over the entire field, which is
extensive, during which time the move
ments of both armies. in both battles,
were clearly shown The two original
monuments were visited and found to be
