CORRESPONDENCE. University or Vi., ) October 29tli, 1875. ( Messrs Editors : Ou the night of the 23nl of October, precisely at 12 o’clock, my friend T. and and I left Charlottesville, by way of the Chesapeake and Onto 14, H., eu-route to Richmond to be present at the unveiling of Foley’s Statue of Stonewall Jackson. The Captain of the Mouticello Guards invited us to go along with ilia company, not as regular members of it, but, as we dubbed ourselves, honorary members. We readily accepted liis invitation as we were auxioue to have some experience in comp-life. The company went fully equipped for camping out—tents, oooks, huge boxes of provisions, and everything necessary to a soldier’s carap-life. At about 5J o’clock ou Sunday morn ing we arrived at Richmond, and were mot at the depot by a deputation of the First Virginia Regiment and escorted to onr quarters on Broad street, known as “Council Chamber Hill.’’ We soon pitched our tents, struck camp-fires, put out sentinels, .ire,, Tint in a short time presented quite an army-like appearance. My companion anti I had the honor of enjoying the hospitalities of the Cap tain’s tent, and we certainly did fare sumptuously. Wo Imd hardly a meal without having our table filled with de licious del eat. yes, sent in by the citizens .who 'lived ear our camp. (Several times i Hie CapUi.ii’a mess was invited to par- at thi houses of j-Sjtebciv ''f uk. .Fust Virginia We v. up.; simj.j float found St l ' jjoVai coinpauj—that of Captain Wen ,L-,iuu,-.er. 1 will mention here that on jdoTiiay night about 11 o’clock our seu •Vine s’.were captured, camp surrounded lino tiicnieu. .arresteJffiy one of the companies of the First Virgiuia, and marched off to the Lieutenant's house, where they were commanded to make a charge upon several large punch howls, suer *iuo.l they were set ut liberty logo then wav rejoicing. But I am rm«asig« abeam After breakfast Holiday morn ing we set out to tied Ht. Paul's (Epieco jiK ) cliuroh. This is one of the finest ctiUiChes in the city, and l)r. Minnege rode, the pastor, has the reputation of lwing one of the liuest preachers in the State. He preuchod a very interesting sermon on “cheerful giving.” The effi ciency of his arguments are shown by the fact that he secured a contribution fjom my friend T. who was never known to give anything but once before. The choir at this church iB very fine, though the style of the music, I think, is rather too “modern" for religions worship. On Sunday afternoon all that was mor tal of the cliivalric Gen. Geo. E. Pick ett, the hero of Gettysburg, were borne by loving hands and sorrowing hearts to their last quiet resting place in beautiful Hollywood. What more appropriate place could have been chosen for bis tomb. There he will sleep in the midst of those who stormed with him the per sons ridges of battle—there in the midst of more than twenty thousand Confed erate soldiers. It is estimated that more than thirty thousand people testified to the general respect felt for the deceased by attending at the final interment. The procession was more than a half hour in passing a single point. The box con’, taining the coffin was carried on oue oi the rifled guns of the Richmond How itzer company, and was decorated with flags and flowers. Besides the old scarred battle flags, there was a beautiful Confederate flag mads of flowers. The services at the grave were conducted by Dr. Minuegerode, after which a salute oi three rounds was fired by the soldiers, and the solemn ceremonies of the day bronght to a close. We had but a short time left us to walk over Hollywood, which is beautifully and picturesquely situated on a number of hills looking down upon the noble old James. There are some beautiful monuments to be seen here. I noticed that of President Mon roe, near which lie, also, the remains oi President Tyler—tuo father of my com panion T. There is aiso a very large pyramid of granite—the soldier’s monu ment—not far from where Gen. Pickett is buried. At night we went to Centenary (Meth odist; church to hear Dr. Edwards, who has a wide reputation as a preacher. We spent Monday in seeing what was to be seen about the city. We also weut out far enough to see some of the old de fences around Richmond. Main street looked very much like New York in the point of being crowded. Every hotel was jammed, and still every train emp tied hundreds into (lie street*. J n the ®ltq plciOuffie (ffiU'cliln journal. VOL. V. Capitol Square we saw Crawfords Equestrian Statue of Washington, around which u« grouped eminent men and allegorical figures of revolutionary fame. South-east of the Capitol a star ue of Henry Clay; to the East of the Capitol is the Governor's mansion. We spent several hours in the State Library, looking at the portraits of Virginia’s il lustrious sons: and from the top of the Capitol we had a splendid view of the city and its surrounding country. At night we were highly entertained by Mrs. Oats and be* splendid comic opera troupe, in Lt oooq’s Opera of “Girofle Gii’olla. ” Every seat and all the stand ing room was filled w ith a mirthful hu dience. 810 DAY. Tuesday, the 26th of October, “the day of all days, stands out in the anuals of Richmond marking an occasion of universal joy, a pagaeutry of extraordi nary splendor, and ceremonies of deep aud abiding interest.” The above I quote from the Richmond Dispatch, as very expressive of the grandeur of the occasion. Long before suu-up bands of music oould be beard m various parts of the city. Richmond that day witnessed the largest military and civic processiou ever gotten up iu her limits. Everybody was ou the streets aud aglow with the pleasant excitemcnrof the occasion. It is estimated that there were forty thous and visitors iu the city, many of whom were veterans of the Confederate army. Arches of triumph were erected ou the principal thoroughfares and at the main entrance of the Capitol square, aud all were adorned with rare taste. Military and civil organizations from different portions of the Htato, as well as outside, were present, aud everything was oppor tunely ut hand to make the occasion a fitting tribute t < Stonewall Jackson, the Christian hero. Flags floated from every available point of view, the houses were rich in festoons and the pleasant perfume of flowers floated on every breeze. I shall not attempt to describe the proces sion, which was mart than two miles lon//. Bjtwr.cn half past 12 and 1 o'clock it reached the Capitol grounds, headed by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Aids and Staff. Tlte large platform was soou fill ed with prominent men present, and the ceremonies commenced with a prayer, offered by Bishop D. S. Doggett, of the MethodintsEpUicopulChurch South, after which Gov, Kfrmper made a shoit ad dress, and then introduced Rev. M. I>. Hoge an the orator of the day, I could i not get near enough to hear the attaches, but read them afterwards. At the con clusion of Dr. Hoge’s oration the statue was unveiled amid the cheers of the brave soldiers who followed the great (jvalTior to, lt> many victories, aud they beheld in bronze bis noble face and form. As soon as the status waa un veiled an infantry salute was fired by each company, and the artillery taking it up a salvo was fired alternately by the guns of two batteries. The salute hav iug been fired the members of the Ge- Bftug verien Virginia, Richmond Philhar monic Association sang with fine effect the anthem s[>«cially selected for the oc casion, “A Castle of Strength Is Our Lord. ” At the conclusion of the cere monies Gov. Kemper,"-taking Mrs. Jack son’s daughter by/the hand, led her to the front of the platform, where she was introduced to the survivors of the old brigade. They raised their hats in re spect, and greeted her with cheers. Gov. Kemper and others then escorted Mrs. Jackson and her daughter to the statue, and they were among the first to deposit floral offerings upon the pedestal. I will now close by quoting again from the “Dispatch”; “The procession, how gorgeous it was. Nature wore her most winning smile, and made more brilliant the bright colors in the line. Oh, who can ever forget the appearance of the Confederate veterans, the inspiring music, the waving banners representing all peoples, the gleaming bayonets of the infantry, the red plumes of the artilery, the prancing horses of the cavalry, the regalia of the civic societies, the carriages filled with illustrious Virginian, the flashing uni forms and apparatus of the Fire Depart ment, the tens of thousands who looked with admiration upon the procession. Beyond all, who that witnessed the cere monies at the Capitol Square, and has heart to feel, and sympathies to Ire aroused, can let them fade from his mem ory. Forty thousand people in sight of the stand, the fervid prayer to God, and the uncovered assemblage ; the opening address ; the oration of the day ; the unveiling of the statue, and the cheers and salvos of artillery that shook the earth as its greeting ; the presentation of the daughter of Stonewall Jackson, and her triumphant reception by soldiers aud citizens, all these must be iueffacably graven npon the minds of those who were present, especially of the young, who will transmit to posterity the im pressions with more than the glamor of romance.” More anon.

Richmond, Va., October 2G.—This day has been made memorable in the annals of Richmond and lent additional lustre to the proud mime of Virginia by the tribute of its people to I lie memory of its gallant warrior, patriot and Chris tian soldier, Gen, J. T. (Stonewall) Jackson, on the occasion of tire formal inauguration of the statute by Foley, presented to Virginia by a number of English gentlemen. The imposing pag eant aud interesting ceremonies combin ed to muke the grandest demonstration ever witnessed in this city. The attrac tions of the State Fur and this extra ordinary event have bronght together peop)e,4rom every direction within the binders ol vbe State as well as from sympathizing communities beyond. This tact was evidenced on all sides by the crowded condition of the streets, the holiday appearance of the city, the many thousands of spectators along the line of march, and the general enthusism that prevailed. Decoratioua of every l description were to be seen in every j direction, embracing evergreens in every 1 conceivable shape, festooning* of the national colors, appropriate inscription,:}# banners ami flogs of mufiy mil ions, the Federal and English colors predouiinal -,, ing. Bji an early hour the principal ; streets began to present in animated •< tlie cr&wds augmenting steadily until tbor procession moved, by nhtalktiMA the walks ajong the route ; of iuMeh' were crowded with surging masses, nnd every available place where a view could Do hail was filled with eager spectators. The procession occupied one hour and a half in passing a given point, moving rapidly, aud was composed of all the city military, infantry, and artille- ; ry, visiting companies from Norfolk, I'efciraburg, Chariottsville, Staunton, 1 Williamsburg and North Carolina, the ! corps of cadets of the Virginia Military Institute, with their battery, the cadets of the Agricultural aud Mechanical Col lege, at Blacksburg, Va., surviving mem bers of the many commands of the late war, including th .se of the famous Htone.wall brigade, the Catholic societies of Richmond, the students of Richmond I College, singing societies, etc., besides a long cortege of carriages and other vehi" cles, oontainiDg many distinguished per sons. Gen. Jos. E. Johnston was chief J marshal, and Gen. Harry Hetli his prin ! cipal assistant. Notwithstanding Gen. I Hetli’s letter, the colored organizations I decided not to turn out, although it was • believed they would up to the last mo j meut. Arrived at the capitol, the pro ! cession was massed in the vicinity of the veiled statue and platform, from widen the oration was delivered. After prayer by Bishop Doggett, of the M. E. Church South, Gov. Kemper made au introduc tory address, iu which he spoke in most feeling terms of the occasion aud in eu logy of Jackson. In one. of his refer ences to this tribute to the memory of a great man, he said : “Let it endure as a perpetual expression of that worldwide sympathy with true greatness which prompted so noble a gift from Great Baitain to Virginia, and let its {Reserva tion attest tbe gratitude of the common wealth to those great hearted gentlemen of England who originated aud procured it as a tribute to the memory of her sou. ” He concluded by introducing Rev. M. D. Hoge, of the Presbyterian Church, as the orator of the day. Dr. Hoge, after an eioqueut exordium, iu which he allu ded to the hallowed memories suggested by the occasion, and the inspiring scene before him, discussed what he considered three elements of the secret of Jackson’s power and influence ; First, in the tact that he was the incarnation oi those Ue roic qualities which fit their possessor to lead and command men, and which, therefore, always attract the admiration, kindle the imagination and arouse the enthusiasm of the people. Hecond. his was the greatness winch comes without j being sought for its own sake the uncon scious greatness which results from self- i sacrifice and supreme devotiou to duty, j Third, the purity and elevation of his character as a servant of the Most High God. Dr. Hoge eloquently and ably il lustrated aud enforced these points by striking incidents in the life of the great Christian. Iu his conclusion he ahuded to the condition of the country, and said that a soldier’s parole was v. snared thing. THOMSON, (&. NOVEMBER 17,1875. Jund the followers and comrades of Stone wall Jackson would be true to their pn i role and to the union of these American j States, but at tbe same time that Union can only command their hearty love ! when it returns to those great funda mental principles of the Constitution which give to all the States equal rights with Massachusetts ami New York. He Concluded by summoning the spirits ! of the heroes and statesmen of the past, whose bronze formsgreet the eye on Cap itol Hiil, to speak words of wisdom and patriotism for tiie guidance of the pres | ent, and quoted from Jaokaou’s word? 1 ’ breathing the same hallowed lessons. j The oration was frequently interrupted !by enthusiastic applause. As the last words of the orator died away, the veil ing of the monument, was suddenly with drawn, and, amid tho thundering cheers | the mnltitndajfj the firing of musketry and tho booming of <sumoi* bronze tigore <lf Jueß(toh%feeted the gaze of the assembled thousands. At this point. Gen. Page, of Norfolk, introduced to the crowd Gen. Jackson’s only child, a little girl of thirteen, who was received with deaf ening and continued cheers, TL«-cere monies were concluded by the singing of Luther’s giuud anthem, 4A Castle of Strength Is Onr Lord, 1 ” by the Gesaug Verciu of Virginia, the Richmond I’hil harmonio Association, and other amateur singers, numbering nearly, one hundred and fifty' male voices, accompanied by the combined bumls thaU-’wfre in the procession.

The signal recently erected on tbe summit of Mount Shasta, Oal;, by the Coast Survey, is a hollow cylinder of gal vanized iron, twelve feet high, nnd two and a half iu diameter, suimountod by a cone of nickel-plated copper.
