GETTYSBURG. 
 
 ^^^HERE is no spot in the world connected with more niemo- 
 4 1 ruble events than the thirty-five square nniles of ground 
 ^m which witnessed the terrible conflict between tlie Federal 
 and Confederate troops on Wednesday, Thursday and 
 Friday, July 1st, 2iid and 3rd, 18G3. The contest at (lettysburg 
 marks the tlood-tide of the rebellion. The Southern cause received 
 its death-blow on that field. The decisive victory infused new 
 hope into Northern hearts and nerved their arms for the brilliant 
 victories which culminated in the formal surrender of Lee at Ap- 
 pomattox. Tlie Gettysburg of to-day no longer reeks with blood. 
 The dead are buried; the widespreaddevastation of those few days 
 has been repaired by the merciful hand of Time, and yet, every 
 spot is hallowed with memories that can never die. Gettysburg 
 will shine more and more resplendent, the central figure of the war 
 of the Rebellion, the most conspicuous battlefield of ancient or mod- 
 ern times. There is but one Gettysburg ! and it is without doubt 
 the most picturesque and interesting point in America for the tour- 
 ist, either soldier or citizen, to visit. 
 
 The Geffi/sburg Battlefield Memorial Association has done a 
 magnificent work, and a work whose importance perhaps, has 
 hardly been estimated aright up to this time. Under the fostering 
 care of so many of the states of the Union (18 states), the long ex- 
 tended Federal battle lines have, under their management, been 
 peopled by a multitude of imperishable shafts in granite and bronze. 
 In the spring of 1879 the first memorial was erected, now there 
 are hundreds and hundreds of them. They mark the spots where 
 fell gallant officers; where regiments made a daring charge; they 
 tell where each corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery was 
 stationed on the three days of fearful struggle, each telling in elo- 
 quent and pathetic story, the purchase price of national unity and 
 lasting peace.

 THE GETTYSBURG NATIONAL PARK. 
 
 In 1895 the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association trans- 
 ferred its grounds (about 850 acres), together with its beautiful 
 monuments and memorials, erected by a grateful people, to the 
 care and protection of the general government. The battlefield in

the hands of the United States has been made, (by act of Congress), 
 a " National Park" ; a park onl^- in tlie sense of its l>eing restored 
 to the condition in which it Mas at the time of tlie battle. A 
 United States Battlefield CommisHiori has been appointed (8 mem- 
 bers), nnder whose supervision there has been opened up magnifi- 
 cent telford avenues along the Federal and Confederate battle lines; 
 they are also marking (with Bronze Tablets) the position of every 
 corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery in the Confederate 
 Army, so that it is now possible for the tourist to visit the locations 
 of the troops of both armies (via carriage with guide) and to in- 
 telligently examine and understand them. Five iron and steel 
 observatories ((>() and 7o feet high) have been erected upon difterent 
 parts of the held and from them the entire battlefield can be seen; 
 the eye can sweep over a landscape of magnificent scope and grand- 
 eur. To one alive to the beauties of nature these views alone are 
 sufficient to stir the mind and heart with sublime and inspiring 
 thoughts. What then will be the feelings of those who can in 
 imagination roll back the veil of years, and, standing on these 
 towers, catch the inspiration of the past and in the march of mind 
 rehearse the evolutions of that great struggle whose stage is so 
 grandly spread before them. 
 
 From every portion of this country come yearly thousands upon 
 thousands of people to visit this sacred spot. Here veterans who 
 wore the blue and the gray often mingle, not as they once did, in 
 deadlj^ combat, but sadly remembering the past, they clasp hands 
 in doing honor to the valiant and heroic dead who fell here. 
 
 Gettysburg has therefore become, and is, the Mecca of American 
 Reconciliation. 
 
 "No north, no south, no alien now — 
 Firm for one cause, one flag- we stand : 
 Hearts melted into sacred flame— 
 For God, and home, and native land." 
 
 TO THE TOURIST. 
 
 When you decide to visit Gettysburg, write or telegraph L. W. 
 Minnigh, the Guide, who will take pleasure in meeting you at 
 the Station, or Hotel, and will see to it that j'our visit to the Bat- 
 tlefield will be such that you will never regret your trip to Gettys- 
 burg. 
 
 Or, if you have no previous arrangements and on your arrival in

 PRESS NOTES AND PERSONAL CRITIQUES. 
 
 Those who have occasion to visit the battlefield of Gettysburg 
 should secure the services of Luther W. Minnigh, the battlefield 
 guide and lecturer and author of '' (iettysluirg— What They Did 
 Here." Mr. Minnigh was born on the ground covered by the 
 battlefield, was brought up and educated at Gettysburg, traversed 
 the grounds daily for weeks after the battle, has devoted j^ears to 
 a study of the engagements, and is a thorough iriasterof the whole 
 subject. His descriptions of it are vivid and eloquent and free 
 from the mannerisms of the ordinary guide. His study of the field 
 has been supplemented by information received from numerous 
 heroes of the great battle, whom he has accomyianied in their visits 
 to the scene of their exploits. Mr. Minnigh's address is 16 W. Mid- 
 dle St., or Lock Box 131, Gettysburg, Pa. — Army and Navy Jour- 
 nal. 
 
 Guide Minnigh has the true story of Gettysburg, and tells it with 
 thrilling accuracy.— General H. W. Slocum. 
 
 Your descriptions are certainly the most accurate that I have 
 ever had the pleasure of hearing. — John B. Bachelder, The 
 Historian of Gettysburg. 
 
 Your descriptions are connected and graphic, free from irrelevant 
 matter andentirely and singularly accurate. —General S. Wylie 
 Crawford. 
 
 You have a very clear and vivid conception of the battle of Get- 
 tysburg, and of the movements of the troops throughout the entire 
 engagement. Your statements are exceedingly accurate. — Gen- 
 eral A. P. Martin. 
 
 Mr. Minnigh's concise, lucid and graphic descriptions of the 
 battle afforded verbal but vivid eye-pictures of the struggle. — New 
 York Home Journal. 
 
 Guide Minnigh's story of the battle was so graphic that we could 
 almost see it. It was an object lesson in history, worth more than 
 to study for a year or to read a library. — Poughkecpnie Eagle, N. Y. 
 
 Minnigh, the guide, has everything pertaining to the battle at 
 his fingers end, describing in the plainest terms the movements of 
 both armies. — The Baltlmorean.

 THE ARMIES. 
 
 The battle of Gettysburg was fought between the Federal 
 Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, 
 and the Confederate "Army of Northern Virginia," commanded 
 by * General Robert E. Lee. 
 
 FORCES ENGAGED AT GETTYSBURG. 
 
 The number of soldiers engaged in the battle will ever be a subject 
 of controversy. The fairest approximation possibly is that of the 
 Comte de Paris, which we use here as a fair statement. — The Army 
 of the Potomac bore on its return, on July 1, 1863, 2,750 men who 
 took no part in the battle, 7,000 Artillery, 10,500 Cavalry, and 
 8.5,500 Infantry, a total of 105,750 men and 352 pieces of Artillery, 
 but deducting tiie Heavy Artillery in reserve at Westminster, the 
 guards on supply trains, the stragglers, &c., the effective force of 
 Meade was froni 82,000 to 84,000 men, with 327 guns. 
 
 The Army of Northern Virginia, on May 31, 1863, contained an 
 effective force of 88.754 officers and men, of whom the following 
 were under arms : General Staff and Intantrv, 59,420 men; Cavalry, 
 10,292; Artillery, 4,756; a total of 74,468 men, with 206 pieces of 
 Artillery. Deducting all the losses by various means, the Brigades 
 and Regiments absent, stragglers, &c., and adding the conscripts 
 and Brigades, the Army of Northern Virginia arrived on the Bat-

 ,^'HERE is probably no fea- 
 \^ ture so well calculated to 
 give a favorable impres- 
 sion of a community as the 
 presence of a first-class Hotel. 
 
 The Hotel Wellington at this 
 point beingr in all particulars a 
 first-class house and very popu- 
 lar with the traveling- public. 
 It is most desirably and con- 
 venientl3' located, being- within 
 half a square of the de^jot. 
 
 The equipments of the house 
 are tasteful and comfortable, 
 is provided with every modern 
 convenience. The cuisine is 
 
 fine and the service most excellent, while the bar of the Welling-ton is far-famed 
 and universally admitted to be the best in the Cumberland Valley. Carlisle is one 
 of the most beautiful cities in the Cumberland Valley— large open squares, wide 
 shaded streets. Fine drives in every direction, throug-h the richest Agricultural 
 District in the State. Within the limits are located the Government Indian 
 School, with 900 students. Metzger College, Dickinson College and Law School, 
 while churches of ever3' denomination dot the city. For the summer tourist who 
 seeks the refreshing air of the country- and at the same time desires to enjoy the 
 comforts of a first-class hotel, the Wellington stands pre-eminent. The bar is 
 in charge of a skillful mixer, with everything at his command to cater to the 
 most fastidious taste. Billiard Hall and Livery attached. Two coaches to and 
 from depots free of charge. yV. D. DREHER, PROPRIETOR.

tlefield of Gettysburg with 5,000 men more than it had on May 31, 
 1868 — or in the neighborhood of 80,000 men. Deducting tlie mount- 
 ed men from this, Ia'c brought into tietual eomluil during tlie 
 three days of July, from (58,000 to 6!>,000men and 250 guns, against 
 Meade's 82,000 or 84,000 men and 800 guns collected on the held. 
 
 Meade had, therefore, from 18,000 to 10,000 men more than his 
 adversary, a superiority of nearly one-fourth, which, unfortunately 
 for him, he was unable to turn to advantage.

 The Confederates always kept their regiments filled up by con- 
 scripts or recruits, while tlie Union Army maintained a number 
 of skeleton organizations by sending out new men in new regi- 
 ments, hence the noticeable discrepancy in the number of 
 organizations. 
 
 Twenty-nine States had troops in the two contending armies 
 at Gettysburg, Maryland having commands in both.

 tured bv the Union forces at and about (rettysburp- from July 1st to 5th, inclusive. 
 
 The Confederate return of losses is very inaccurate. General Meade had over 
 13,000 prisoners, yet Lee returns but 5,150 missing- men. 
 
 Many of Lee's organizations made no rc'iurns or only a partial one.

THE NATIONAL CEMETERY. 
 
 Federal bodies, of which 1,611 a 
 The National Cemetery was dedicated November 19, 1803. The 
 oration was delivered by Edward Everett, and an address by Pres- 
 ident Lincoln. 
 Lincoln's address at the dedication of the National Cemetery : 
 " Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on 
 this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated 
 to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are en- 
 gaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any na- 
 tion, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met 
 on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a 
 portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave 
 their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and 
 proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot 
 dedicate— we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow this ground. 
 The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have conse- 
 crated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world 
 will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it never 
 can forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to 
 be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought 
 here have thus far so noblj^ carried on. It is rather for us to be here 
 dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these 
 honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which 
 they gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly 
 resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, 
 under God, shaU have a new birth of freedom; and that the gov- 
 ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not 
 perish from the earth." 
 
 The following are the states and the number of their dead: 
 
 Maine, 104 
 
 Michigan, 171 
 
 New York, 867 
 
 Pennsylvania, 534 
 
 Massachusetts, 159 
 
 Ohio, 131 
 
 Indiana, 80 
 
 Maryland, 22 
 
 Illinois, 6 
 
 West Virginia, 11 
 
 Minnesota, 52 
 
 Wisconsin, 73 
 
 New Hampshire, 49 
 
 New Jersey, 78 
 
 Vermont, 61 
 
 Connecticut, 22 
 
 Rhode Island, 12 
 
 U. S. Regulars, 138 
 
 Unknown, 979 
 
 Many of those who were killed or mortally wounded were re- 
 moved by friends, the field being easily reached from the north. 
 The above is the original number interred. The Confederate 
 
 16 
 
dead were disinterred nine years after tlie battle, sent south, and 
 were reinterred at Richmond and Wincliester, Virginia. 
 
 The Gettysbiirs^ National monuinont was formally dcMlicated 
 July 1, 1869. General Meade made an address, Governor Morton 
 an oration, and Bayard Taylor contributed an ode. 
 
 The splendid semi-colossal bronze statue of General Reynolds, 
 which stands at the entrance to the National Cemetery, is made 
 from cannon donated by the State of Pennsylvania. 
 
 The New York State Monument was dedicated July 2, 1898.

 THE COST OF WARS. 
 
 Of wars within the last century, the cost has been as follows: 
 
 France and Algeria, 1880-47, $190,000,000 
 
 France and Austria, 1859, 225,000,000 
 
 The European Revolution in 1848, .. 50,000,000 
 
 Prussia and Austria, in 1866, 100,000,000 
 
 Our Civil War, 1861-65, 8,700,000,000 
 
 France and Mexico, 1866, 75,000,000 
 
 Brazil and Paraguay, 1864-70, 240,000,000 
 
 France and Germany, 1870-71, 1,586,000,000 
 
We here add the eloquent words of one who was most prominent 
 in valiant defense of Gettysburg— General Hancock— he says: 
 
 "The historian of the future who essays to tell the tale of Gettys- 
 burg undertakes an onerous task, a high responsibility, a sacred 
 trust. Above all things, justice and truth should dwell in his mind 
 and heart. Then dipping his pen as it were in the crimson tide, 
 the sunshine of Heaven lighting his page, giving 'honor to whom 
 honor is due,' doing even justice to the splendid valor alike of 
 friend and foe, he may tell the world how the rains descended in 
 streams of fire, and thie floods came in billows of rebellion, and the 
 wind blew in blasts of fraternal execration and beat upon the fab- 
 ric of the Federal Union; and that it fell not, for resting on the 
 rights and liberties of the people, it was founded upon a rock."

 Mr. Minnigh's descriptions of the three days battles were so 
 vivid that it would have taken but a slight stretch of the imagi- 
 nation to believe that the terrible combat which occurred on those 
 July days of 1863, was again being bitterly waged. Mr. Minnigh's 
 supply of anecdotes and incidents, gathered personally from those 
 that figured in the fight, seemed inexhaustible, and a few hours 
 spent with him at the various important points of the battleground 
 were more instructive than the careful reading of many volumes 
 which have been written about this important battle. — Philadel-
