Park Idea and Gives It Hear y
ludoraem nt.
General John B. Gordon, command
ing the United Confederate Veteran’s
Association, hx» issued the following!
important order:
“Headquarters of the U nited Confed
erate Veterans, New Orleans, La , No
vember 23, 1895 —General Order No.
151.—The general commanding calls
the earnest attention of the members of
the United Confederate Veteran’s As
sociation to the recent meeting held in
' Vicksburg, Miss,, which resulted in the
formation of an association or commis
sion of union and confederate veterans
for the purpose, of organizing to estab
lish a military park, to be located on the
historic battlefields in and around Vicks
burg.
“To students of war and for future
ages the siege of Vicksburg will stand
out as a memorable and conspicuous ex
ample of one of the suoremest tests of
courage and endurance of man and as a
marvel of military science and engin
eering skill by both armies.
“Fitly called the ‘Gibraltar of the
South, ’ the siege of Vicksburg ranks as
one of the most wonderful in history.
For forty seven days those blood stained '
and stormcrowued heights raged with
incessant conflict, and witnessed by
turns the assault upon its heroic and
stubborn defenders and the repulse of
the gallant and obstinate attacking
army. By day sheeted flame issued
from every crest of thehills around this
famous citadel of courage, and by night
the destructive and deadly bomb lit up
the heavens with its lurid and baleful
light. The straits to which the garri
son and inhabitants of the besieged city
were reduced for food and supplies were
of the most pathetic, somber and pain
sul known in history.
“Every footof ground of the proposed
military park is consecrated by the blood
of heroes, and the story ot the siege of
Vicksburg, while written, it is true, in
the blood of brothers, is a lasting and
imperishable monument to American
courage and heroism.
‘ ‘The purpose of this commission is to
ask congress to purchase the site where ,
these momentuous scenes where en
acted, so that the heroic survivors of
both sides, while yet living, can mark
this memorable epoch in the history for i
our descendants, and for coming gener- I
ations, by placing enduring stone and
other material upon the exact spots
where American valor met American
valor in deadly conflict.
“The plans and details connected with
the enterprise will be similar to those
enacted in the formation of the mili
tary parks at Gettysburg, Shiloh and
Chickamauga, except that the courtesy
has been extended and deference shown
the south by the union veterans for the
first time by placing a great southern
leader at the head of the monement.
An equal number of union and cohfed
erate veterans will form the commis
sion, and that typical American, stain
less citizen and distinguished soldier,
General Stephen D. Lee, who, by the
skill and daring displayed by him in
and around that world-renowned fort,
ress, crowned his already brilliant name
with imperishable fame, was elected
president. It needs no statement fiom
these headquarters that in his pure and
able nands each side will receive the
fullest care and consideration and exact
justice.
. “The general ,comma»ding, therefore
appeals to every general, of
ficer, every camp and every individual
member of this association to at once
petitioj and urge the members of con
gress and senator in their respective dis
tricts and states to assist at the coming
session of congress, in December next
in carrying oct the plans of this com
mission for the purchase of the land, so
that the historic battlefields of Vicks
burg may be set apart, as have those of
Gettysburg, Chickamauga and Sffiloh,
as battle pictures of the blood-cemented
republic—as object lessons and warning i
against any future alienation, and for I
pointing out to the centuries that after '
estrangement reconcilation followed, ,
and then everlasting peace.
* ‘By order of
John B Gordon, General Command
ing George Moorman, Adjutant Gen
eral and Chief of Staff.’’
TWO LIVES SAVED.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was no
hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King’s ,
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says save* her life. Mr. Thos,
Eggars, 139 Florida street, San Francis
co, suffered from a dreadful cold, ap
proaching consumption, tried without
result everything else then bought one
bottle of Dr. King's Discovery and in
two weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. It is such results of which
these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in
' coughs, and colds. Free trial bottle at|
