MONUMENT TO PICKETT'S DIVISION, HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY, RICHMOND, VA. :00: S.H.HAWES#^CO., DEilLERS IN Lime, Cement, &c.. RICHMOND, YA. :00: HISTORICAL. NO one seems to question the fact that Mr. J. B. Welsh, manufactu- rer of furniture in this city, was the first person to suggest the building of a monument to the private soldiers and sailors of the Confederate army and navy on Libby Hill. His suggestion met with the ready sympathy of an old gentleman named Boswell, who has since died. Capt. Frank Cunningham, the present City Collector, talked the matter over with the two gentlemen already named, and they together soon en- listed the interest and sympathy of many other citizens who were neigh- bors of theirs. Frequent conferences resulted in a meeting in the Mar- shall-Club rooms, in the large old residence which was once the home of a Mr. Lipscombe. This meeting occurred on the 1st of December, 1887, and Hon. D. C. Richardson, formerly Police Justice of the city, and now a practicing lawyer, was called to the chair, and Carlton McCarthy was made secretary />r(? tern. On motion of Mr. John A. Curtis the Chair ap- pointed a committee of five to prepare business for the meeting, and the committee named was as follows : John A. Curtis, R. S. M. Valentine, J. C. Dickerson, W. H. Curtis, and B. H. Berry. The committee soon made the following report : "'Resolved, That we do hereby organize ourselves into an association to be known as ' The Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Asso- ciation.' The object of the Association is to raise money for the erection on Libby' s Hill, in this city, ot a Monument to perpetuate the memory and deeds of the Private Soldiers and Sailors of the Confederate States. The officers of the Association shall be : One President, six Vice-Presi- dents, one Secretary, one Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, consisting of the above-named officers and six members from each ward of the city — all to be elected by the Association for the term of one year.

At the same meeting it was resolved to hold a mass-meeting in Corco- ran Hall on Friday the 9th of December, and a committee of five persons was appointed to prepare a bill incorporating the Association. The Chair named the following committee : William H. Curtis, Benjamin H. Berry, Charles V. Meredith, George L. Christian, and T. Wiley Davis. The Chair having suggested the desirability of beginning at once the practical work of raising money, those who were present began liberally to subscribe, and before the meeting adjourned $725 was subscribed by those present. At a meeting held on the 8th of December, 1887, Judge George L. Christian, on behalf of the Sub-Committee on Charter, presented a draft of a bill incorporating the Association, which was accepted, and the com- mittee was directed to present the bill to the Legislature. At a meeting held on the 29th of December, 1887, a committee of five was appointed to make arrangements for a mass-meeting at the Rich- mond Theatre, and the Chair appointed for that purpose the following : a bvicc to flnsurants.

At the same meeting Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans was invited to appoint a committee of ten of their members to co-operate with the Asso- ciation in the furtherance of its purpose, and the Camp was invited to attend in a body the mass-meeting to be held at the Richmond Theatre on Monday the 6th of February, 1888.

Crenshaw, Jr., were appointed a committee to secure a design or plan for the monument. At this meeting the Treasurer made a report, which is inserted here in order to show the small beginning of the great enterprise : Receipts to May 1, 1888 S120 25 Expenditures 34 57 Balance in the treasury S 85 68 At a meeting held on the 5th of September, 1889, Mr. C. V. Meredith reported that proceedings for the condemnation of the land contiguous to the site of the monument were completed, and that the Council would probably appropriate funds for the purchase at once. This meant that the city would own the whole of Libby Hill down to Main and Rocketts streets. At a meeting held on the 26th of September, 1889, Col. W. E. Cut- shaw, on behalf of the Committee on Design, recommended that the Asso- ciation adopt as a model for the monument Pompey's Pillar, near Alex- andria, Egypt, and presented with his report complete drawings of the pillar, giving dimensions, construction, ornamental details, etc., and after a full statement from Colonel Cutshaw the Association adopted the fol- lowing resolutions : 1st. That the Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument shall be a reproduction in granite of the column near Alexandria, Egypt, com- monly called Pompey's Pillar. The column to be surmounted by a bronze figure of a private soldier of the Confederate army. 2d. That the column shall consist of a base, die, and capital, essen- tially as in the original pillar at Alexandria, and a shaft of the same pro- portions and measm-ements as the shaft of the original, but composed of thirteen blocks, typifying the thirteen Confederate States.

That there shall be hiscribed on the face of the base, or die, as may- seem best, simply this : CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MONUMENT. And if the thirteen States lately composing the Confederate States do each of them actually contribute one block of the shaft, then, on another face of the die, or base, as may appear best, these words only : THIS SHAFT IS COMPOSED OF THIRTEEN BLOCKS CONTRIBUTED BY THE THIRTEEN CONFEDERATE STATES. And on another face of the base, or die, as may appear best, these words : ERECTED BY THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS' & SAILORS' MONUMENT ASSOCIATION ANNO DOMINI 1889-90. 4th. That the Committee on Design be and are hereby empowered to select a sculptor to execute a suitable bronze figure for the column, and to obtain from him a model at least one-half life size, the model to be sub- mitted to the Board for approval and adoption, and adopted before any order is given or any contract made for the execution of the work. 5th. That Col. W. E. Cutshaw is hereby requested and authorized to assume control of the construction and erection of the monument as en- gineer in charge, with instructions to begin the work as soon as the neces- sary surveys, plans, estimates, drawings, etc., can be prepared, and the City Attorney has reported a clear title to the lands adjacent to the site and recently condemned.

That as soon as the Engineer can furnish drawings, dimensions, and estimates of the cost of the successive stones to compose the shaft, appeals shall be made to the Legislatures of the thirteen Confederate States, asking from each a contribution of one of the blocks, or a sum of money sufficient to purchase one. 7th. That all the committees of the Board are hereby urged to prose- cute their assigned work, to the end that the task assumed by the Asso- ciation may be taken up at once, and prosecuted without delay to com- pletion. On the 9th of April, 1890, the Association resolved to push the work on the monument as far as the fifth dressed stone, which would carry the work up to the round-moulded base course of the shaft. Mr. James Neth- erwood being the lowest bidder for this work, the contract was awarded to him, and he immediately began the work. On the 26th of February, 1891, the Committee on Foreign Subscrip- tions was authorized to correspond with the governors of the thirteen States lately composing the Confederate States with a view to securing contributions, and some effort was made in this direction, but without success. It was at this meeting that Col. W. P. Smith, State Commander of Confederate Veterans, and Past Commander Lee Camp, C. V., was requested to use his endeavors to enlist the sympathy and aid of all the Confederate Veteran Associations throughout the State. On the loth of March, 1891, Lee Camp appointed the following com- mittee to co-operate with the Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monu- ment Association: J. Taylor Stratton, N. V. Randolph, James T. Ferri- ter, John Murphy, and W. P. Smith. At the same meeting the Treasurer reported that his Total receipts were $1,247 27 Expenditures 864 24 Balance on hand $383 03 At a meeting held on the 2d of April, 1891, the Association authorized the appointment of a solicitor for the city of Richmond, and Mr. J.

GEORGE W. ALLEN & CO., Agents, No. 1301 Main St. and Company's Wharf, Rocketts. 21 contributions were made by the citizens of Richmond generally. At this meeting Col. W. P. Smith reported that Lee Camp had voted the Asso- ciation a contribution of one thousand dollars ($1,000). At a meeting held on the 2d of June, 1891, the following committee was appointed to solicit special contributions from the citizens of Rich- mond: Lewis D. Crenshaw, John B. Cary, Robert S. Bosher, George L. Christian, John A. Curtis, J. Taylor Ellyson, and W. E. Cutshaw. The Treasurer reported a balance on hand of $2,094.41. It was at this meet- ing that, on motion of Mr. T. Wiley Davis, the engineer in charge (Col. W. E. Cutshaw) was authorized to contract with Mr. Netherwood for the completion of the stone work of the Monument, at a cost of twelve thou- sand dollars ($12,000), and it is due Mr. Netherwood to say, at this point, that although the Association had scarcely a dollar in hand, he at once commenced the work and pushed it vigorously forward until the last stone was laid. His confidence in the success of the undertaking was simply wonderful, and he never hesitated to work at any time as cheerfully and vigorously as if the scheme was backed by millions. At a meeting held on the olst of August, 1891, Col. John B. Cary reported that Hon. A. M. Keiley would deliver a lecture at Mozart Hall on the 15th of September for the benefit of the monument fund. The lecture was delivered to one of the largest lecture-audiences ever gathered in Richmond, and was pronounced by those who heard it a most intensely interesting lecture. It w-as, moreover, a decided financial success. At a meeting held on the 28th of December, J 891, the Association received the cheering information that House Bill No. 39, Virginia Legis- lature, appropriating thirty-two hundred dollars ($3200) would probably pass to its third reading about the 7th of January. The bill was finally passed by both branches of the Legislature and approved by the Gover- nor, and the amount appropriated was used to pay for the capital of the column. At that same meeting Mr. William H. Curtis reported that arrangements had been made for three performances of the opera ' ' Pina- fore," and these performances came off in due time before crowded audiences, and added materially to the funds of the Association. At a meeting held on the 1st of November, 1892, the Association took action on two important matters. On motion of Mr. Curtis a committee 3£stabli6bc^ in 1S30. THE P. H.

Taylor Ellyson — was appointed to confer with the ladies of the Hollywood and Oakwood Memorial Associations with a view to holding a grand bazaar for the benefit of the monument fund. And at the same meeting the Committee on Design was authorized to secure a model for the statue to surmount the column, and were left at liberty to select their own artist. The committee was, however, required to submit any model they might secure to the Association for adoption. At a meeting held in July, 1893, the Association acknowledged the receipt of over fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) from the bazaar con- ducted by the ladies of Richmond, and suitable resolutions of thanks were adopted. At the same meeting the Association adopted a design for the statue which was reported by the Committee on Design, and the contract was awarded to Mr. W. L. Sheppard, and the President and Secretary were authorized to execute a contract with Mr. Sheppard for the modelling and casting of the colossal statue in bronze. At a meeting held on the 24th of February, 1894, it being apparent tha^ the work on the monument would be all completed and the statue in place by that time, it was resolved to unveil the monument on the 30th of May, 1894, and a committee of five persons was appointed, with full authority to take charge of all the ceremonies incident to that event, the committee to be composed of the President as Chairman ex -officio, and the following: John B. Cary, N. V. Randolph, J. T. Ellyson, George L. Christian, and Charles L. Todd. Subsequently W. E. Cutshaw and William H. Curtis were added to the committee. At the same meeting a committee of five were appointed, with full power to select an orator for the occasion, and the committee was named as follows : John B. Cary, John A. Curtis, Beverly T. Crump, C. E. Wingo, and George L. Christian. At the same meeting Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, and Pickett Camp, Confed- erate Veterans, were invited to co-operate with the Monument Association in the unveiling ceremonies. The entire cost of the granite work on this monument has been about twenty-four thousand dollars ($24,000), and when completed by the addi- tion of the bronze will have cost over thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). The whole of the structure has been built under the careful supervision of STORES AND OFFICE, 115 AND 117 SOUTH Fourteenth Street. WAREHOUSE: R. & D. Wharves, ROCKETTS. Robert F.

Shep- pard, of Richmond, and modelled at the studio of Caspar Buberl, New York, by the combined labors of Messrs. Sheppard and Buberl. The •casting was done by the Henry- Bonnard Bronze Company, of New York city. It may be truly said that this splendid tribute to the soldier and sailor is the gift of the people of Virginia and the South. Men and women, boys and girls, all did their share in the work necessary to raise this noble shaft. The space allotted to this brief statement forbids the mention by name of the hundreds of enthusiastic workers in this great enterprise. The ladies who conducted the bazaar certainly deserve and will surely have unqualified praise and lasting gratitude for the splendid and self- sacrificing labors which they freely gave this good work, and which were handsomely rewarded by substantial returns, in the shape of money, to so great an amount that, as a result, the Association was instantly relieved of all embarrassment, and was enabled to push the work to completion, confident of their ability to pay the last dollar of its cost. There are hundreds of persons whose names we cannot record here who will look upon this completed shaft and derive quiet satisfaction from the knowledge they have of their own sacrifices made in order to contribute their share to the upraising of a dignified and enduring monument to the Confederate soldiers who have laid down their lives, and to those also who now await their call to the Great Assembly. The inscriptions on the Monument are purposely brief and simple, but yet comprehensive. Let him who looks upon this shaft seek the history of the men it memoriahzes in the many books which have come from the hearts of those who survived the downfall of their country.

After four years of arduous service, marked by unsur- passed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but, feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have attended the continuation of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of agreement, ofiicers and men can return to their homes, and remain there until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the con- sciousness of duty faithfully performed; and I earnestly pray that a mer- ciful God will extend to you His blessing and protection. With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell. /ffX Established 18 31 Wi/l be pleased to sec the Old Soldiers and Sailors at their Factories : No. 1—FOOT OF SEVENTH STREET.

ROSES OF MEMORY. BY A. C. GORDON. A rose's crimson stain, A rose's stainless white, Fitly become the immortal slain Who fell in the great fight. When Armistead died amid his foes, Girt by the rebel cheer, God plucked a soul like a white rose In June time o' the year. The blood in Pickett's heart Was of a ruddier hue Than the reddest bloom whose petals part To welcome heaven's dew. I think the fairest flowers that blow Should greet the life-stream shed In that historic long ago By this historic dead. The immemorial years Such valor never knew As poured a flood of crimson blood At Gettysburg with you. Living and dead, in faith the same, I see you on that height, Crowned with the rosy wreath of fame Won in the fatal fight. Not these had made afraid King Arthur's mystic sword, — Not Bayard's most chivalric blade. Nor Gideon's, for the Lord. Yours was the strain of high emprise. Yours the unfaltering faith,— The honor lofty as the skies. The duty strong as death. When Douglas flung the heart Of Bruce amid his foes. And said : " He leads. We do not part ; I follow where he goes" ; No mightier impulse stirred his soul Than that which up yon height Moved you with Pickett toward the goal Of freedom, in that fight. The fair goal was not won, The famous fight was lost ; But never shone the all-seeing sun On more heroic host. Your deeds of mighty prowess shame All deeds of derring-do With which Time's bloody pages flame, —Hail and farewell to you ! Unto the dead farewell ! They are hid in the dark and cold ; And the broken shaft and the roses tell What is left of the tale untold. They are deaf to the martial music's call Till a judgment dawn shall break When the trumpet of Truth shall proclaim to all : " They perished for my sake ! " Let them be quiet here Where birds and blossoms be ; — And hail to you; who bring the tear And the rose of memory To water and deck each lowly grave Of those, who in God's sight With loyal hearts their hearts' blood gave For the eternal right ! Alike for low and high The roses white and red ; For valor arid honor cannot die. And they. were of these dead. The private in his jacket of gray And the general with his star The Lord God knighted alike that day, In the red front of War. THOMAS L.

OUR DEAD. BY FATHER RYAN. Gather the sacred dust Of the warriors tried and true, Who bore the flag of our nation's trust, And died for me and you. Wherever the brave have died They should not rest apart ; Living- they struggled side by side — Why should the hand of death divide A single heart from heart ? Gather them each and all From the private to the chief; Came they from cabin or lordly hall, Over their dust let the fresh tears fall Of a nation's holy grief No matter whence they came. Dear is their lifeless clay — Whether unknown or known to fame, Their cause and country were the same- They died — and wore the gray. Gather the corpses strewn O'er many a battle plain; From many a grave that lies so lone, Without a name and without a stone — Gather the Southern slain. And the dead shall meet the dead. While the living o'er them weep; For the men who Lee and Stonewall led, And the hearts that once together bled, Should now together sleep. About HoFse Shoes. ▼ ▼ T ▼ ▼ T The shoeing of horses with iron has added more to the con- venience and wealth of man than perhaps any other invention of the ages. We find it practiced by the ancients with very crude forms of hand-made shoes, which were both ugly and burdensome to the animal, but in a fashion serv^ed the intended use. In modern times shoes are made lighter and of better forms, which add greatly to the appearance and endurance of the animal. They have been brought to a great degree of perfection in both quality of material ■and mechanism in the Old Dominion Shoes, which are works of art. These shoes are made in this city, and are sold by all first- class dealers throughout this country'. These Shoes are made in a variety of forms and weights.

In a second-hand book store the other day a visitor hoiiulil for a dime a little^ old, worn, and castaway volume which, in the manner of its forms and examples^ told a simple and pathetic story of the gloom and sorrow which darkened even the innocent lives of children at the South during the weary years of war. It was a copy of a school arithmetic, one for beginners, and was published at Ral- eigh, N. C., in 18(53, by Branson & Farrar. The author was L. Johnson, pro- fessor of mathematics" in Trinity College, who modestly says in his preface : " The great demand for books at this time of an elementary character in the Southern Confederacy has called forth this little volume. Nothing new or origi- nal has been attempted. The compass of the work is such that it can be thor- oughly learned by the youth of either sex before their presence at home or the demands of their country debar the privilege of attendance at school." WAR AND ARITHMETIC. The spirit which then animated the people of the South is manifest on every page, and in almost every example of this little book. It is the spirit of war. The questions do not ask" the youthful scholar how many flowers it would take to enable him to give two to each of his three companions, nor how many peaches- John and CharleV together would have if one had four and the other three. There is no puzzl'ing inquiry as to how many lambs Jennie would have if to her present nine five others were added, or how many ginger cakes Walter would have left if he divided his dozen equally with Susie. None of such mild elements would do for the times. The life of the South and the impulses of its people were hedged about by war. Little wonder, then, that the author of this arithmetic should discard the common things of life, and use for illustrating his examples the terrible actual elements involved in the- mighty combat, whose thunders floated from bloody fields through the school- house windows. How plainly and how vividly the infiuences and forces then engaging the men of the South are shown in the following examples from the little old arithmetic of 18(33 : "Five soldiers are in one tent and ten in another. How many soldiers are there in both ? " " Ninety soldiers are in one company and twenty in another. How many sol- diers are there in both "/ " "Twenty-eight men were sent out on picket duty, four in a company. How many companies were there ? " " A captain of cavalry paid $100 for a horse and $100 more for a pistol. How many dollars did both cost him ? " "A company of 100 men went into an engagement where fifty were killed. How man}' were left ? " "A Confederate soldier captured eight Yankees each day for nine consecutive days. How man}- did he capture in all V " "Seven Confederate soldiers captured twenty-one Yankees, and divided them equally between them. How many did each one have ? " "If "one Confederate soldier can\vhip seven Yankees, how many soldiers can whip fortv-nine Yankees ? " "If one Confederate soldier kill ninety Yankees, how many Yankees can ten Confederate soldiers kill ?" "If thirty-two soldiers eat 896 pounds of beef in a w.-ek, how many pounds, will 175 soldiers eat in a week ? " Established 1835. A. HOeN (S CO f h y ^^^ ^ ENGRAVERS * * POWER PRESS PRINTERS.

Do we weep for the heroes who died for us, Who hving were true and tried for us, And dying sleep side by side for us; The Martyr-band That hallowed our land With the blood they shed in a tide for us ? Ah ! fearless on many a day for us They stood in front of the fray for us, And held the foeman at bay for us; And tears should fall Fore'er o'er all Who fell while wearing the Gray for us. How many a glorious name for us, How many a story of fame for us They left: Would it not be a blame for us If their memories part From our land and heart, And a wrong to them, and shame for us? No, no, no, they were brave for us, And bright were the lives they gave for us; The land they struggled to save for us Will not forget Its warriors yet Who sleep in so many a grave for us. On many and many a plain for us Their blood poured down all in vain for us, Red, rich, and pure, like a rain for us; They bleed — we weep, We live — they sleep, "All lost," the only refrain for us. But their memories e'er shall remain for us. And their names, bright names, without stain for us; The glory they won shall not wane for us, In legend and lay Ouir heroes in Gray Shall forever live over again for us. a Is I/) U ^ >t Si w I- o o u o I/) o •J '^ IS «« w -o > 2 o X c ■tJ o O T3 , W 13 ft) E «5 ft) c ja M c a w ft) X N *- 3 o ra T3 O O E UJ t> UJ < X o X < c o t- O O O in ' STONEWALL " JACKSON MONUMENT, Capitol Square, Richmojid, Va.

THE FIGHT OF THE "HATTERAS" AND "ALABAMA." Off Galveston, the Yankee fleet secure at anchor lay Preparing for a heavy fight they were to have next day ; Down came the Alabama, like an eagle o'er the wave, And soon their gunboat Hatteras had found a watery grave. 'Twas in the month of January ; the day was bright and clear ; The Alabama she bore down ; no Yankee did we fear ; Their commodore he spied us ; to take us long he burned ; So he sent the smartest boat he had, but she never back returned ! The sun had sunk far in the west when down to us she came ; Our captain quickly hailed her, and asked them for her name; Then spoke our first lieutenant, for her name had roused his ire, "This is the Alabama ; now, Alabamas, fire." Then flew a rattling broadside, that made her timbers shake ; And through the holes made in her side the angry waves did break ; We then blew up her engine, that she could steam no more— They fired a gun to leeward, and so the fight was o'er. So thirteen minutes passed away before they gave in beat ; A boat had left the Yankee's side, and pulled in for their fleet ; The rest we took on board of us, as prisoners to stay ; Then stopped and saw their ship go down, and then we bore away. And now, to give our foes their due, they fought with all their might ; But yet they could not conquer us, for God defends the right ; One at a time tlie ships they have to fight us they may come, And rest assured that our good ship from them will never run.

And Southern hopes were living yet when Polk and Morgan died. But he, the leader, on whose words those captains loved to wait.
