Richmond, November IS.
To The Virginian:-An interested
reader wishes to give answer to the
suggestion made by DIR. Mcdaniel in
his Sermon yesterday that a monu-
ment of grand proportions be erected
in Capitol square. on which to carve
the name of every youth Of Richmond
in the service of our country who
died in the struggle and our incom-
parable nurses" This suggestion
must meet with hearty response of
every heart in our city No doubt
there will be many suggestions made
as to how our heroes may be most
appropriately honored, and now the
way Is open for suggestions and ideas
put most opportunely by DIR. McDan-
iel--that a memorial must arise ade-
quate to the object.
Please allow the hearing OF an
other suggestion. which already has
had hearing before the Confeder-
ate Memorial Literary society, that
some monument or memorial should
be erected to our fallen heroes of this
war. a commttIe was appointed to
in terrogate the city authorities regard
ing the possibility of dedicating the
new free bridge that spans the James
river to this purpose. This being a
matter of great Importance, it is well
that II be made a matter of open
public discussion, and allow the voice
of the people to be heard. for in the
multitude of councillors there is wis
dom
The idea is to utilize the new free
bridge or build another as a rSst Mt
ting monument to the soldiers of the
two counties in which Richmond is
the capital. From these have gone
brave men who will never return. Let
us keep them in perpetual memory on
a structure ambitious in its form;
beautiful in it's proportions. by in
scribing on bronze tablets attached to
each pedestal the name or names Of
