nearly one-seventh of the number A
fourth brigade was added after the
battle of Appomattox Court House,

as follows: The brigades had had sew

three had been killed and six wounded.

forty were regimental commanders.

days Of the battle Of the Wilderness.

your services over the new grave Of
one OF these men, remember that he

and recall what was said at the open

written to enable you to realize what
were the services of Union soldiers
who were In front. May the reflection
1t may give rise to make those who
read this article realize that men who
enlist for national defense must be
ready to make just such sacrifices.
And it is only the realization OF
this fact, at this time especially,
that will make the United States sol

you and others respect him for wear

silent tents of green in which sleep
their fallen comrades.

MADE HIS NAME DEATHLESS
George n. Thomas, the "Rock of

National Roll Of Honor.

At Chickamauga the Confederacy
made a supreme effort to recover
ground lost at Vicksburg and Gettys-
burg The Confederate plan was good.
it's army had small but telling SUI
periority in numbers, its leadership
was excellent, it's valor unquestioned.
and fortune seemed to smile on its
bold enterprise.
Yet all 1t achieved was a barren
victory, bought at price that would
have been high for a second Waterloo.
Numbers and fortune and valor and
strategy broke helplessly against the
Rock of Chickamauga," and the care
full plans of Lee and Longstreet were
foiled by the iron stubbornness of
George II. Thomas.
The roll of American heroes con-
tains the name of no man whose pa

whose genius was higher than that OF
George H. Thomas.

and patriots, nor does it claim for
them any superiority over the many
attachments Of the army who were
called upon to suffer exactly as did
this brigade of whose endurance we
write; but it serves to bring before
the reader war and its suffering, and
may serve to direct the thoughts Of
our citizens at this memorial season
to the character of the men whose
death we commemorate.
We are writing of the opening of
Grants campaign in the Wilderness;
not to discuss strategy or tactics, but
to describe what that campaign meant
to us who commanded on the fight
ing line.
Shortly before the arrival Of Gen.
eral Grant, who had determined to at
tach the headquarters of the armies
Of the United States to the headQuar-
tiers of the Army Of the Potomac,
which was under the command Of
Major Gen. George G. Meade. the First

took place the only engagement north
of the Mason and Dixon line; it was
there. 1t has been conceded, that the
Confederacy met it's most effectual
check, for from that time on its fate,
though delayed, was certain, and 1T
is for these and other reasons it is
fitting that 1t should be there that
private and public bounty should be
more generous in perpetuating the
memories of that field of carnage than
any other of that great strife between
brothers.
1t ministers to the pride of one as
well as saves that of the other that
the turning point in that terrific strug-
gle between the states should be To-
Gated on the north OF that historic
line which divided the slave states
from the commonwealth. To the
North it means an invasion by the foe
effectually repealed, while to the South
there is consolation in the fact that
the decisive battle Of the war which
sealed their fate was not fought
on the battle-scarred soil of the Old
Dominion
1t was mostly young men and boys
who battled there, for the majority of
the men who fought that war on both
sides were young men. 1t was not an
army Of old men that stormed the
heights: it was not old men who filled
the graves on every southern battle
| field. but the bodies in those graves
are those OF young men, cut off in the
beginning of life, and we should real
iZe the depth Of the sacrifice they
made, and cherish the acquaintance
and friendship Of those of them who
are with us yet, because in very few
years they will all be gone to join
their comrades in the cold earth.
In view of the heroic achievements
of the Union defenders, it is worthy

who was the principal speaker at an
annual dinner of the New York South
ern society:
I'VE members of the Southern So
ciety have no apology to make for
our fathers; none whatever. We of
the South have come to love a great
er country now, but l am sure that
we feel that our southern soldiers,
as much as our northern soldiers, had
their part in making (note the world

flag of our reunited country will soon
be evidenced by Old Glory being I'M
furled to the southern breezes over
every public school during each
school day and over every municipal
county, state and federal building In
