GETTYSBURG’S CAMP FIRE
FOES OF THE THIRD DAY’S FIGHT
BURY ALL ANIMOSITY.
Capt. Reeve of Pickett’s Division Urges
a National Camp Fire on the Battle
field and the Erection of a National
Monument to American Valor—A
Letter From the President and Sena
tor Sherman.
Gettvsbuho, Pa.. July 2.—About 500
survivors of the Sixty-ninth, Seventy-first,
Seventy-second and One Hundred and sixth
regiments, composing tho Philadelphia Bri
gade which bore so conspicuous a part in
tho third day’s fight at Gettysburg when con
fronted by Pickett’s Division of the Con
federate army, arrived here this afternoon.
The welcome which they extended to the
survivors of their old antagonists
to-night was a warm one. Pick
ett’s men were received at. the
rnilroad station by the Philadelphias and
escorted from the depot to the Eagle Hotel,
where a stand-up lunch was given them,
after which all made for tho county court
house, where the first campfire of tile blue
and gray upon the historic grounds of
Gettysburg was held.
CALLED TO ORDER.
At 9 o'clock the meeting was called to
order by John W. Frazier, who said:
Ladies, Comrades and Friends: The high
honor of calling this meeting to order has been
assigned to me. This is, as you all know, the
first fraternal nieeting of the blue and the grav
thal has taken place on these grounds, and,
standing beside the last resting place of the
honored dead who here gave their last full
measure of their devotion to the Union, r say to
you that these fraternal meetings of the blue
and the grey will do more to create aud
maintain sincere and lasting fellowship among
the people of the whole nation than anything
else that has taken place since the war for the
preservation of the Union ended, and I hope? to
see them, as I believe they will be, held all along
the line from Gettysburg to Vicksburg.
Knowing well the feelings that prompted the
meeting, I can truly say this fraternal meeting
of the Philadelphia Pickett's divis
ion will indeed prove
“A union of hearts and union of hands,
A union none can sever;
A union of homes and a union of lands,
Aud the Hag of our Union forever.”
THE PRESIDISO OFFICER.
I now have the pleasure of presenting Com
rade \V. S. Stockton as presiding officer of this
meeting, with the statement that to liim more
than any other is due the credit of bringing it
about.
Col. Stockton utnon assuming the chair
manship said that he thanked his comrades
for the honor conferred upon him, and ho
would take occasion simply to remark that
he believed what was done and said here
upon this fraternal gathering of the blue
and grey would mark n new aud gratifying
era in our country’s history. As presiding
officer it was his pleasant duty to present
Col. Charles H. Banes, President of the
Philadelphia Brigade Association, who
would extend a soldier’s welcome to foes in
war, hut a warm, devoted and lasting
friendship in peace.
COL. BANES’ WELCOME.
Col. Bancs stepped forward and said:
Fellow Citizens and Members of Pickett’s
Division of the Army of Northern Virginia—
An honorable am! pleasing duty has been as
signed to me by the Philadelphia brigade of the
Second division, Second corps, Army of the
Potomac. This veteran brigade of the Union
army, composed of the Sixty-ninth, Seventy
first, Seventy-second and One Hundred and
Sixth regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers,
upon more than one occasion during the
dark hours of the republic encountered your
peoDle in active warfare, and it fell to our lot to
meet in hostile array and deadly conflict in what
may be truly called the crisis of the battle of
Gettysburg, within kight of the masses of the
armies on that memorable afternoon of July 8,
Ist Vi. The most wonderful intellectual gift that
the beneficent Creator h;ts bestowed upon men
Is the faculty of memory, power to recallirom the
inner recess of the brain thoughts aud scenes
that for years have lair, dormant and which in
turn call ethers as they pass rapidly before the
mind, bringing to mental view most vividly the
panorama and scenes of this historic field.
A STORY OF THE BATTLE.
Col. Banes gave from memory a vivid
and eloquent description of the battle,
describing tho share of Pickett’s division in
it as one of devotion, sacrifice and courage
unsurpassed in the history of our country.
He said:
No thoughtful man can at this date read the
history of the war or recall its memories and
fail to see the hand of Divine Providence devel
oping, through trial and discipline, that courage
and tenacity for principle and patriotism which
exalts and ennobles people. \\ ha' e dwelt for
a few moments on the incidents of the battle for
the reason that our associations compel the
reference, but to-day as soldiers of a common
country we meet as citizens of a united
country. Old issues are dead and new ones
confront us. We who have fought as
blue and gray can discuss the past, if need
be In the light of the present as travelers who,
after perilous journeys aud conflicts by the way.
Bet down on n mountain top and review the
scenes through which they have passed and the
dangers of the road over which they have
journeyed. We welcome you to this historic
field aud its memories with true soldierly greet
ing. In the performance of this duty we would
fail to honorably acquit ourselves did we not
announce to you that the spontaneous move
ntent of the Philadelphia brigade in the tender
of this reception has the approval and practical
support of our citizens of all classes and pur
suits of life.
WELCOME TO PICKETT'S MEN.
And now it remains for me to say to you, men
of Pickett's division, by the authority of this
brlgude, association and its friends, that we ile
sire that you will honor us during your stay at.
Gettysburg by becoming our guests. We wel

CAPT. REEVES' REPLY.
Upon behalf of Pickett’s Veterans, Capt-
C. P. Reeve, of Richmond, commander of
Pickett's Division Association, responded ns
follows:

language of the Scripture, “The Lord watch be

THE PICKETT MONUMENT.
Soon after the publication of the article re
ferred to, a committee wa sent on here to make
suitable arrangements for the erection of a
monument to Pickett's Division on the battle
field of Gettysburg. Failing in this, rny com
rades of Pickett's Division have decided, and I
think properly, to place their monument to our
dead on Gettysburg Hill in our own beautiful
hollywood, where they may rest in peace till
awakened bv the sound or tlie lust trumpet to
meet Him who will give them righteous judg
ment. Peace to their ashes! They gave their
lives for a cause they deemed sacred, and mor
tal can do no more. There, too, I hope to rest
when life's duties are ended, in the bosom of my
dear native State, loved and honored
since I have loved and honored anything,
never more than in her adversity; prouder or
my heritage as a free born son of Virginia than
to have inherited a crown in any other land*
proud of her history, filled as it is with a record
of heroic men; proud of her heroes, who have
illustrated American valor; proud of her states
men, who have shaped the destinies of this
mighty nation; proud of her orators, whose
eloquence has thrilled the nation when freedom
was the theme; proud of her course in
the late struggle; proud of her
efforts to preserve peace and avert
the awful calamities brought upon us by the
war, au effort so insistent that those who
know her not said sneeringly tliat she could not

failing to secure honorable j>eaee, fully count
ing the cost, she bared her lK>som to the strife,
deeming, if need be, all well lost in the bright
path of duty and honor* proud of her sons who
rallied to her side, and tor four years l>eat back
the pitiless storm of war hurled upon
her, exhibiting to the world examples of
heroic fortitude worthy of the mother
that gave them birth; proudest of all that when
worn out an< I exhausted by their victories the
shattered remnant w ere comindled to yield to
overwhelming numbers ana reserves, they
grounded their arms and turned themselves to
the task of rebuilding the waste places and re
storing their mother State to the proud position
she bad ever held in the front rank. Such are
my sentiments, honestly entertained and freely
expressed, and what shall I say for those my
comrades, endeared by privations shared, hard
ships endured, ami dangers encountered.
DEAD ON MANY BATTLEFIELDS.
Scarcely is there a battlefield from Bull Run
to Appomattox on which some dear to me did
not crow n with their lives their devotion to their
native State. Dear comrades, honored os men,
loved as companions, cold in death will ray heart
be ere I cease to love aud honor you. Yet my
heart is large enough to embrace my whole
country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
the kikes to the gulf, to rejoice in her prosperity,
to glory in her greatness, to feel a thrill oi pride
when her course is as glorious as her might is re
sistless, when her magnanimity equals her
power, and to you, gentlemen of Gettysburg,
let me say this is an opportunity
to display a magnanimity worthy of this great
nation. Leave to time, the touch-stone which
tries all human action, the question of right and
wrong involved. Let the future historian, prob
ably yet unborn, try the cause, and posterity
will render a verdict which is apt to. be just.
To them k*t us leave it. Its deeds have been
•lone, its drama closed, but for our country
there remains a future. We, too, are making
history.
A NATIONAL REUNION.
If this occasion, being in the interest of peace
and reconciliation, wdll till a bright page in that
history, wit h what lustre would that ouc shine
which would record a similar reunion, national
in its character, in w hich should be buried all
rancor and hatred, from which W 6 could go
forth not merely citizens,blit friends and brothers
animated by one aim—the greatness and glory
of our common country. Adopt in its true
spirit the union monument suggested, and with
magnanimity broad enough to embrace our
whole country, dojp enough to bury in oblivion
the bitterness and hate or past strife, build on
the spot suggested a monument to immortalize
American valor and demonstrate American
magnanimity. Let the whole country
join with the national government and every
State in the Union complete it if possible by the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle. Send
out your invitations, ana my word for it, Gettys
burg will w itness such a gathering as the whole
world has seldom seen. Its hills and valleys,
dotted with white tents, not filled with angry
combatants and ready to hurl each other to
destruction, but with the highest type of Ameri
can manhood, ready to join hands in a true and
hearty reconciliation which shall make us again
a united and happy people. Do this and w rite
the name of American higher on the roll of true
fame than you could have done had you been
able to write yourselves victorious on every bat
tlefield of the war. I cannot hut believe that
this suggestion will commend itself to good
men everywhere in our broad laud, and if prop
erly carried out will do more to restore true
friendship in the sections than any other one
thing which could be done. Let us, my coun
trymen, embrace th** opportunity and make one
page in American history which shall shine w ith
a lustre unsurpassed by any recorded since the
world began.
COL. m’clure’s address.
Upon the conclusion of Capt. Reeves’
speech Col. Banes introduced Col. Alexander
K. McClure, of Philadelphia, who had been
chosen to extend a welcome from tho citi
zens of Philadelphia particularly, and from
the Htate of Pennsylvania generally, to the
Virginians. Col. McClure said:
After the more than fraternal greeting so elo
quently expressed bv the representatives of the
survivors of the Phiiadelpnia brigade and of
llckett's division, ir is au easy task to speak for
the city of brotherly love and for the Key
stone State late of the Federal arch
in hearty sympathy with the peace and brother
hood which mark this notable reunion.
Twenty four years ago your mutual heroism
consecrated this ground to unfading immor
tality. The shock iu which your respective com
mand.'. met wo*' the bloodiest of all the many
sanguinary conflicts of our oi\il strife, and in its
issue tremoled the issue of the decisive battle of
the w ar. It ranks with Thermopylae in desper
ate courage, but the heroism of the warriors of
. whose inexecrahle spartan laws made
defeat dishonor, regardless of position or num
bers, pales before tne volunteer soldiers of Han
cock aud Pickett, who willingly dared and
died for their convictions. It was a
strange, Rad conflict; men of the same
race and of the same heroic traditions,
sovereign in framing the same laws, met in a
death struggle to solve the great civil problem
which hud vexed our most enlightened and
patriotic statesmanship for three quarters of a
century. The ignorant, inconsiderate and dis
honest say that it was causeless, that it was
precipitated by babbling demagogues who ride
in the tempt'st, but no such eaise could have
l ulled millions of the most intelligent. |*eaeo
leving slid generous people of the world to four
years of fraternal war.
IRRECONCILABLE THEORIES.
There were agitators and demagogues who
hastened the war, as there are agitators and
demagogues who have hindered peace since the
war ended, hut there were irreconcilable theories
k*ft unsettled in the foundation of the govern
ment, which ri|>ened in intensity and enlarged
in interest until a peaceful solution w as no longer
possible. A less heroic people could have
avoided our civil war, but with each citizen a
sovereign, the bravest and noblest of all the
iieople the earth bad. the only choice waa
lx** ween dismemberment of the Union or its
jarring pillars, cemented by arbitrament of the
sword. Never did opposing armies accept bat
tle with sterner purpose. Every shotted gun
hoarsely thundered the faith or the warriors
who employed it in the harvest of death. Every
church of every belief iu the North and
South sent up fervent prayers to
the same Goo for tho triumph of
their resix ctive flags, and In like manner called
for thanksgiving and pi*ul*e when victory came
to either. Every pulpit appealed to the* patriot
ism of the people in tne name* of the ruler of the
nation to sustain tho cau ie of its suction as a
holy duty, rind from every battlefield came
heart felt thanks from victor and abiding faith
in the supplication from the vanouisheel. Ail
from the same altar to the same Jehovah.
GRANT S MAGNANIMITY.
Both could not triumph and at Appomattox
came the Judgment of the final arbiter that the
national Unkm shall be indissoluble and that
national sovereignty shall be omnipotent with

and from Appomattox came the promise not
only of peace, but of brotherhood. It, carno to

against which its sons hai so valiantly battled
when presented to the nation as a candidate
for the highest civil trust of the world. His
battle cry that answered those who reveled in
the turbulence of hate was—“ Let us have
peace." Among his earliest appointments when
called to the Presidency was a Lieutenant of
Lee under whose eye the memorable charge of
Pickett's division was made, and later in his ad
ministration a Confederate soldier and states
men sat in his Cabinet.
PEACE AND BROTHERHOOD,
Thus came peace and brotherhood under the
inspiration of the Victor of victors in our bloody
civil strife, and his testament comes from Haro*
toga’s shaded mount l>equeathiug fraternal love
and national unity to the Blue and Grav. Well
may civilian welcome in a hearty minion now
the silvered and furrowed survivors of the
deadly conflict on Cemetery Hill when such
illustrious teaching and example command it,
and I you, in the name of the great North,
now inseparably interwoven with the great
South in sj’mpatny, in interest and in fellowship.
Free government is stronger at home and
mightier abroad to-day because of the wounds
of the civil war, and our children and our chil
dren's children will turn to its sacrifices, its sor
rows and its irresistible judgments as the surest
guarantee that “government of the people, by
the people and for the people" shall not perish
from the earth.
Col. William R. Aylefct, who succeeded
Gen. Armistead as commander of the brig
ade upon the death of Gen. Armisted, hav
ing been chosen to respond on behalf of the
Htate of Virginia to Pennsylvania’s wel
come, said:
Brothers and Sisters of the Keystone
State, Comrades of the Great Battle Field—
My Countryman All\ We are here today as
friends and kindred of a common country, sent
to you by the Old Bom inion as an expression of
her love and confidence. When your invitation
reached us it touched our hearts in a tender
Elaco. and the speech of welcome which
as just been delivered so eloquently is
worthy of the orator and great State ana city
which he represents. Not only do we receive
and shall ever treasure the noble sentiments of
Col. McClure as the voice of Pennsylvania and
her clpef city, but also of those brave men who
met us here twenty-four years ago with valor
that we could not overcome, and who meet us
here to-night with the loving welcome so dear
to us and to our people.
a tribute to the press.
Not only do we cherish the sentiments so
nobly expressed, so warm and true from the
hearts or our brethren of the North, but remem
beiing the avocation ar.d profession of the
gifted speaker, we hear in loud tones the voice
of the great American press—that power
mightier than armies or navies, mightier than
the swords of kings - on wh se supporting arm
the Goddess of Liberty leans and whose daily
utterances proclaim that peace, friendship and
love once more hind the American people with
the golden bands of indissoluble and j>erpetual
union: the press, whoso thousand tongues none
can silence, whose champions
“All nnbribed at freedom's altar stand.
Faithful and firm, bright wardens of the land."
Yes, my countrymen, the prass and the brave
and generous soldiers of our land have brought
this night, ami these scenes to pass. All honor
and love to both. We come as survivors of a
, great battle, which illustrated the greatness and
glory of the American people, and dropping the
curtain over the past, we hail you as our brothers
and sisters with all that love and pride which
must ever thrill the hearts of all good and true
citizens of tho continent of the free common
wealths.
HATRED BURIED.
No more does that spirit animate us which
once hurled our bodies against those iin
pregnable heights—thank God, no more forever
We nave come forth from the baptism of blood
and Are, in which we were consumed, as repre
sentatives of the new South, and we have long
years ago ceased to bear in our Iwarts any
residuum of the feelings born of the conflict. L)ici
an unmanly feeling linger in our bosoms, we
would not be here to-day to grasp tho hands of
those who have met us with a brother's greeting,
and a brother's love. Above the ashes left by
the war and over the tombs of secession and
A flic; in slavery we have created anew
empire and built a temple to Ameri
can liberty in which you and I can
worship together, and over it we have run up
the star spangled banner, and we cling to ft
with all that ancient love which should ever
dwell in the hearts of men and women from the
lands of George Washington and William Penn.
I utter it as a sentiment that comes welling up
from every bosom of Virginia and the
South, that a man who would re
kindle again that feeling which filled our
land with death and tears, and grief and mourn
ing. with graves and suffering, is not only un
worthy of tuo high title of an American citizen,
but even of that, of a human being, and should
find no home or friends on earth or in heaven.
LET POLITICIANS BE SILENT.
Ijet no politician, for selfish and unworthy
purposes, fan the dead embers of fratricidal
.strife, but let tho great, warm ;uid generous
heart of our nation, with the throb of the ocean,
as if moved by all the tempests of God's whole
universe, speak its thundered condemnation of
any effort ro vile,wicked and unworthy. No such
lessons are taught to me by. the lives or deeds
of Lincoln or Grant, or come to as as echoes
from their sacred tombs. Oh, my country,
what a calamity was it for the South when the
assassin's bullet struck down Abraham Lincoln.
Jn tho midst of all the bloody tempest he still
had a soft place in his great neart for us, and
now that the storm has passed and
passion has subsided, who of the South does
not love and revere bis memory and the mem
ory of the great captain who was kind and mag
nanimous in the hour of victory at Appomattox,
who said to Lee: “Let your men take their
horse* home to make bread,*' who, when he had
triumphed, said: ‘diet us have peace." and who.
in his dying hour, said that the greatest happi
ness he felt was to see good feeling springing
up between the North aud South There is not
a true man South to-day but who finds as if he
would like to stand at the tombs of Lincoln and
Grant, to plant a flower there and to water it
with u manly tear.
THE BATTLE FLAGB.
11l the presence of a feeling like this, too
sacred and deep for utterance, what matters it
who shall keep tho battle flags. They passed
into your hands in brave and manly combat,
untouched by dishonor, after a baptism in
blood that made the gray Jacket a mant lo of
glory, and we arc ns willing your peopJA should
keep them as ours. They are in the hands of
our government and brethren, to whom our
honor should lx* as dear .as their own.
Never again will our old battle flags
wave in strife. They have
gone down forever, but t hey went down In glory
and in honor. They arc dead, and we love and
follow alone now the living flag which floats
from Key West to Behring Straits, from Bunker
Hill to San Francisco. As we look at the banner
of our country floating yonder wo only
that since the birth of our nation it has Ix-eu
the emblem of liberty ami tho refuge of the op
pressed. Tbit southern and Northern men bore
It in triumph from Saratoga to York
town, from Lundy*' Lane to New Orleans,
and that a* uiuted brethren we floated it over the
walls of Tripoli aud the halls of the Moiitezum&s;
we forget that it was ever borne agaiust us.
ONE PEOPLE.
And as we see around us men of the North
who have come down Boutli and made our,
homes their homos, and our people their people,
w- hail to-day and henceforth all Americans
everywhere as brothers, and claim that our
home and kindled extend from sturdy Maine
and the grand old Buy State to where the gentle
bree/e sighs through the* orange groves of
Florida, from where the Mississippi, rather of
Waters, lieavos his mighty bosom to the great
lakes, from the great lakes to the
Pacific, where the renubltcaa Colossus
holds In his benumbed grasp
the icebergs of the Arctic, aud there, in sight of
the continent of Asia, proclaims a ixvipleuoited
for all time and great in all th triumphs of the
Anglo Saxon race Buried and sunk out of sight
forever be the bitter memories of war and tne
griefs and sorrows oi the North and South. If
we recall them at all let it be in dream, poetry
n:id homage England remembers today
the wai of the re**** and the rival
houses of York and Lancaster. A glorious and
imperishable record of valor and renown, writ
ten u|Kn the highest rolls of fame by both
North and Kouf n and claimed as a common
privilege and joint offering for all time to come
by the whole American people and their latest
posterity.
OUR NOBLE WOMEN.
But while speaking of the deeds and glories of
our men, let not the deeds of our women be for
gotten. Oh, who can tell of*heir agony, suffer
ing and self-sacrifice. I see them now hovering
both in your hospitals and ours.
Like the bright and beautiful angel
of grace and mercy, ready to conduct
the departing spirits to paradise Mother,
dung iter, slater, w ife, sweetheart, they fanned
the r *vered cheek, bathed the fevered brow.
bedewed with their tears the couches of dying
heroes, wafted llieir souls to heaven with their
sighs and prayers, and put flowers over their
graves; aud they could lx* as brave as men, too,
when It was necessary. Why, the bravest
woman l ever saw was a Pennsylvania girl, who
defied Pickett’s whole division while we marched
through a little towu called Ureencustle. she
bad on a United States Hag as an
apron, which she defiantly waved up and down
as our columns passed by her and dared us to
take it from her, and there was not one man of
us who dared do so. Struck by her courage and
loyalty, Pickett, with hat off, gave her the mili
tary salute.
PRESENTED ARMS.
My regiment presented arms and we cheered
her with u good old fashioned relxd yell, which
some of you boys have doubtless heard. God
bless the true and bravo litUo woman, and she
was as level}' as she was hrtive. Would thnt she
were here to-day that I might, iu admiration of
her pluck and truth, grasp the hand of that
splendid and glorious type of American
womanhood. She deserves a place by the side
of those Carthage niau maidens who cutoff their
tresses as how strings to send their lovers' ar
rows hissing to the Roman heart.
In coming here to-night of course there are
some sad thoughts mingled with our joys. Oh,
what a slaughter of American manhood and
valor there was on that day on your side aud on
our's. What would wet not give if we could re
call back to life your men and our's, who bo
nobly fell on that fatal field. It Is not for me
to speak of their mighty valor. History
has recorded it in undying words
and forms aud colors. Would that that grand
and heroic son of Pennsylvania, Hancock, the
su|>erb, were here to day. Would that Meade,
and McClellan, and Reynolds, and Sedgewick
were here to night, and that the Virginian,
George H. Thomas, the Hannibal of your army of
Tennessee, and above all. would that Lincoln
and Grant were here to see this noble sight of
brotherly love and heavenly hospitality, ljn
coin and Grant, the men who guided and di
rected the storm, aud who, when its fury was
spent, was ready to say: “Peace be still''to the
boisterous wiuds and raging waters.
DIXIE'S HEROES.
Were they here we would join with you in
doing them honor, for as Americans we now
claim an interest iu their glory and their graves;
aud who among you—warm, generous, kind,
hospitable, and full of brotherly love as you
have shown yourselves—will grudge to us or to
Virginia the proud honor, or to tue Union that
rich contribution of Virginia glory when at the
roll call of our illustrious and mighty, dead to
the names of Wnshiugtou, Henry, Mason. .IclTer
son, Madison, Marshal] aud Monroe we shall
ask to add the iiiunm of Robert E. Lee,
of Stonewall .Jackson, of J. E. B. Stuart,
aud George E. Pickett, glorious representatives
of that Virginia truth, and valor, aud loyalty
which propped the reeling fortunes of the revo
lution of litfi and bore the flag of victory, flow
ing like a heavenly meteor, from Boston to
Yorktown. Mv dear countrymen, let none but
great-, and noble and kind words, thoughts and
feelings henceforth animate us or survive the
great and bitter trials of the American people.
Let us with love, aympatlty and reverence too
deep for expression respect the sufferings and
repair the Injuries we have inflicted upon each
other. Let us tread lightly by each soldier's
grave, whether from North or South, for he
was an American brother, dying for Ids convic
tions.

lA-t us imitate the example aud follow the
teachings of Nature's great heart, who iu win

every soldier's grave, In the spring puts green
sod and flowers upon each humble mound, in
autumn decks all alike with the russet and
golden splendors of her falling leaves, and in
theilewH by night and showers by day waters
them with her tears and by the smiling sunshine
of heaven warms their cold bosomH with the
rays of eternal light direct from the centre of
the universe. Let us thank God that
“grim visaged war has smoothed his

THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER.
President Cleveland’s letter isnsfoliows:
r.XKovTivi Mansion, I
Washington, Juno 24, IHH7. f
I have received your invitation to attend, as a
guest of the Philadelphia Brigade, a reunion of
the ex-Confederate soldiers of. Pickett's Divi
sion. who survived their terrible charge at Get
tysburg, and those of the Union army still
living by whmn it was heroically restated. Tue
fraternal meeting of these soldiers upon s battle
held where twenty-four years ago in deadly
fl ay they fiercely sought each others' lives,
where they saw their comradea fall and where
all their thoughts were of vengeance and de
struction. will Illustrate the general impulse of
the brave and their honest desire for peace and
reconciliation. The friendly assault there to lie
mode will be resistless because in
spired by American chivalry; and
Its result will he glorious, because
conquered hearts will be its trophies
of success. Thereafter this hattlelleld will be
ms tented by a vliriorjr whieb shall presage
the end of the bitterness of strife, exposure of
their sincerity which cnncoaL hatred by profes
sions of kludness, condemnation of frenzied up
peals to paaslou for unworthy purposes, aud the
nesting down of nil that stands Iu the wav of
the destiny of our un ted Coho try While thoae
who (ought and who have so much to forgive
lead In the pleusatit ways of peace, how wicked
appears t raffle in sectional hate and be
trayal of patriotic sentiment! It surely
cannot be wrong to desire settled
quiet which lights for our entire country the
path to prosperity aud greatness. Nor need the
lessons of the war be forgotten and its results
jeopardised m a wish for that genuine fraternity
woich insures national pride and glory
I s lould h*- very glad to accept your invitation
hu i lie with you at this Interesting reunion, but
other arrangements already made and my offi
cial duties here will prevent my doing so.
Hoping that the occasion will be as successful
and uf fill as its promoters can desire. I am.
yours very truly, Grover Opevti.and.
SENATOR SHERMAN’S REGRETS.
Senator Sherman’s letter reads:
Makskield, 0., June Yt, IW.
Your note of June 1". Inviting me to he pres
ent as a guest of the Philadelphia Brigade at
Gettysburg on the Un I, Urd and 4th days of July
next, to attend the reunion of the surviving
members of that brigade, and of Plckott'sdivis
ion of the Confederate urtw, is received It
would give tue pleasure to witness so interesting
an event, but an engagement made here for tho
Fourth of July will not permit Such a reunion
on the battle bold of Gettysburg
of opposing ' forces so distinguish- <1
for courage, heroism and great losses
will be a striking and hopeful evidence of the
respect that brave soldiers always cherish for
gallant enemies, and of lessening the animosi
ties of the war. The Union soldiers readily and
heartily acknowledged the courage aud honesty
of purpose of the Confederate soldier*, aad
this feeling is, I believe ns readily reciprocated
bv them There should he no enmity or preju
dice between them, and now that all alike feel
that an indestructible union lands us together
there should be a cordial and hearty fellow
ship between the “hlue and the gray.” But this
feeling should he accompanied by a sincere
and hearty desire to preserve for future ages
the beneficent results of the war.
In this the South, as well as the North, Is
deeply Interested. It was to preserve the Union
and to secure all the blessings of liberty that the
wur was waged and won. Upon this basis there
would be no longer a danger line between the
Union aud Confederate soldiers, or Northern
and Southern citizens, but the courage and pa
trloMsm of lioth would he the common pride
aud heritage of the American people I sin
cerely trust the reunion proposed will he an im
portant step tow ards so desirable a result. Very
truly yours. John Shkbman.
Sergt. Charles T. Loehr, Secretary of
Pickett's Division Association, was mainly
instrumental in bringing his Southern
friends to Gettysburg after the refusal of
the Gettysburg Memorial Association to
permit them to erect their monument where
Gen. Armisted fell. He has worked day
and night for months to mako the Southern
end of the reunion a success.

AN ANIMATED SCENE.
Gettysburg present* a gay and animated
Boenu to-night- Everything is decorated
with Hags, evergreens and bunting. The
streets arc brilliantly illuminated and
thronged with thousands of people. Dur
and ing the day visitors arrived on all trains,
when the Philadelphia Brigade arrived at ti
o’clock with 2,000 more the
hotels and boarding houses over
flowed and quarters were as hard
to find as they wore twenty-four years ago
to-night. At 8 o’clock Airs. Gen. Pickett
arrived, accompanied by her son, and was
immediately driven to Spring’s Hotel. After
securing quarters the Philadelphia brigade,
escorted by the Grand Army Band of
Gettysburg, marched to tho Harrisburg
depot to receive their guests.
ARRIVAL OF THE VIRGINIANS.
At 8 :.8o o'clock a ringing cheer from the
Philadelphia brigade, promptly and heartily
answered by the well-known reliel yell, nu
nouneed that the visitors bad arrived, and
200 of Picket t’s veterans marched out and
surrendered themselves to the hospitality of
their friends. As the procession moved
along Chambersburg street to the
public square, cheers and applause
greeted it at every step. The Con
federates, who were armed with rockets,
discharged them ns they marched along
proudly bearing the stars and stripes in
their midst, the only flag iu line, and re
sponded heartily to the greetings with their
peculiar battle yell, so well known here, to
the great delight of tho assembled crowds.
FACE TO FACE.
When the procession reached Centre
square the Union and Confederate lines
were drawn up faring each other tho Con
federates stepped forward, saying—
“ Here we are once more together."
“Let us shake hands."
“I/*t as trade Coffee.”
The bands played “Way Down South in
Dixie,’’ fireworks lit up tho sky, and all tho
people cheered. At i1:35 o’clock the proces
sion moved to the court house, where a camp
fire was held. The doors were thrown open
and the band entered, followed by Pickett’s
men. They proceeded to the front and
seated themselves in chairs In a few min
utes the building was filled to overflowing
and standing room could not lie obtained.
MRS. PICKETT CHEERED.
When all was ready Agent Burns assisted
Mrs. Gen. Pickett to the stand, anil amid
tremendous cheers,Vhich shook tho building
introduced her and her son to the audience.
.She was visibly affected, and with difficulty
restrained tears. Whenever Gen. Pickett's
name was mentioned the cheering was
tremendous. When Col. Ayelett, becoming
exeited and branching off somewhat from
his prepared oration, mentioned the flag of
the Union the whole audience arose and
shouted itself hoarse.
As soon as tho President’s letter was read
Gen. Burns jtimi>eil up and proposed three
cheers for the President of the United States,
these were given standing aud with telling
effect. ___
SHERMAN GOING WEST.
He Denies that He Said Blaine is
Not a Presidential Candidate.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 2. —Senator Sher
man passed through this city this morning
en route from the East for iiis home in
Ohio. In an interview ho emphatically
denied the statements aland Mr. Blaine
credited to him in the New York interview
published in this morning’s papers. Said he:
“I was not interviewed in New York.
What appears in the morning papers was
manufactured. I was in a room at a hotel
where a number of gentlemen ware talking,
but I was not interviewed. I never
said Mr. Blaine was not a candi
date for tho Presidency. I don’t
know whether he is a candidate or not, and
certainly would not make such a statement
unless I did. Nor did I say anything about
his giving himself up to literature. Mr.
Blaine and I are the best of frionds, and it
is unkind to put words into my mouth that
I never uttered. Some politicians says that
he may not have the same element of sup
port In New York that he hud during tne
last campaign. As regards interviewing
all I ask is to be let alone.”
“Is the rebel flag question likely to be re
viewed during the next Presidential cam
paign?”
“It wi; c rbe forgotten. It will rise up
during tl. v u camjiaign and will likely
play un impo; taut part in it. I can't say
what were the moti’es of President Cleve
land in issuing the order for the return of
the flags. It may have be.'n carelessness
but it was a serious question that should
have been handled very cautiously.”
Attributed to Prohibition.
Chicago, July 2.—A special from St.
Joseph, Mo., says: The closing of the sa
loons in Atlchison has cut off a most, prof
it able source of revenue amounting to thou
sands of dollars a year, anti as a result the
city has not revenue to keep going. Ym
tenlay the police force, with Hie exception
of the marshal and one officer were sus

STATEHOOD FOR UTAH.
Democrats and Republicans Oppose
the Mormon Movement.
Salt Lake, July 2.--J. 11. Rosborough,
chairman of the Democratic Territorial
Committee of Utah, and William H. James,
chairman of the Republican Territorial
Committee, have Issued a public address in
reference to the movement for Statehood in
Utah. The address refers to the fact that,
both the Republican und Democratic parties
in Utah refused to participate in the con
vention, and adds: ‘‘The whole affair is a
church party movement, conducted solely
by members of the Mormon church to ol>
tain for it Statehood. The earnest private
solicitation of many of them failed to induce
a single non-Mormon to become a delegate.
All the non-Mormons in Utah oppose the
movement as insincere, and fraught with
serious consequences if successful.”
TUB CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The Utah Constitutional Convention of
seventy-five delegates has been in session
since Thursday. The constitution adopted
in 1883 is made the basis of the new const!
tat ion. The committee of thirteen ap
pointed by the President, John T. Caine,
Delegate to Congress, has tx-en diligently at
work amending the old document and
framiug new sections. The most Important
changes so far reported are provisions in t he
bill of rights declaring entire separation of
church and State, ana establishing minority
representation. It is declared that there
shall be no union of church and State, nor
shall any church dominate the State, but the
right to worship God according to the dic
tates of conscience shall never be infringed,
nor shall uny person be compelled to sup
port any form of worship, nor shall any
control of or interference with the rights of
conscience l>e permitted, nor any preference
be permitted by law to ati v religious estab
lishment or mode of worship. The rights of
minorities are to lie preserved inviolate.
Other important additions to the constitu
tion are expected. The convention will
take a recess to celebrate the Fourth of
July.
IRELAND’S SUFFERING.
English Laborers to Investigate the
State of Affairs.
London, July 2. —In the Parliament try

House of Commons for South Somerset
shire, is arranging to send a deputation of

report the trutli as the deputation finds it to
the laborers of Great Britain.
GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
Sir Joseph Pease gave a banquet, at his
house to-night, in honor of Mr. Gladstone,
who made a long speech, which was chiefly
un elaborate criticism of the spyches of
Lord Hartington at Manchester arid Black
burn. In his ojientug he referred to the
R|xilding victory which, he said, showed the
.value of faith and patience in the
present crisis. Lord Hartington hud said
that the crisis was a serious and grave one,
and iu this opinion Mr. Gladstone agreed
with him. Parliament was not even allow
ed to discuss the question of home rule, hut
was confined to consideration of the
Coercion bill. Lord Hartington had
[imposed a grand committee to con
sider the Irish question, but had
excluded therefrom the Irish commoners.
He (Gladstone) only expected to be able to
say whut, would satisfy the Irish people. It
was imperative that the government submit
to Parliament proposals relative to Ireland.
If they conceded to Ireland manage
ment of her own affaire, the
Liberal party would frankly and
fairly consider their proposals. Ireland, be
said, was stronger now on the home rule
quint.ion than ever. First, her constituen
cies under the Lilieral franchise act hail a
voice. Second, the elected members,were
able to speak their country’s wishes. Third,
an everlasting force in England was in favor
of borne rule.
Dublin, July 2.—Michael Davitt has
started to stump Scotland on the Irish
question. He will afterward go on a stump
ing tour through Loudon and the north of
England.

[Copyright 1887 by the New York Associated
Press. 1
Berlin, July 2. —A move will be at
tempted in the direction of abolishing the
protectionist system. The advantage of
free trade is found in the Hungarian com
merce returns, which show that three
fourths of the total oxiKirts last year went
to Austria, where there was no custom*
barrier.
It is evident that the accession of tht.
Rouvier Cabinet has failed to fullfil the ex
pectations of improved relations between
France and Germany.
PERSECUTIONS IN FRANCE.
French persecution of foreigners is again
a subject of comment by the German press.
The North German Gazette reprints an
article from the National Zeitung, from
which the following is an abstract: “Whut
will seemingly justify the Eurojxian gov
ernments in refusing to enter the Paris
exhibition is the persecution of foreigners
not only Germans, but the German speaking
Swiss and Austrians. Even Englishmen ara
the objects of rude and incessant attacks by
the French press, and m numerous cases ara
molested and maltreated. It is absurd to
invite is-opie they hate to partici|Hite in
their exhibition, and unless a cliange occurs
the absurdity will be reflected in tne fate of
tlie exhibition.”
The Cologne Gazette publishes a procla
mation w hich it says the patriotic league
has lieen trying to circulate in Alsace-Lor
raine.
BOULANGER’S PLAN.
The Gazette again asserts that Gen. Bi iu
langer before his deposition from the War
Ministry really intended a coup d’etat, and
was only prevented from carrying out his
designs by Gen. Kuussier.
No action bus Ixxm taken in regal'd to the
release of Herr Koechlin, one of the con
victed members of the French Patriotic
League, and neither side seems willing to
take the initiative iu the matter.
The Cross Gazette say’s it would be im
possible for Germany to proceed first in thd
matter, as that would in France be con
sidered us an act of feebleness on her part,
KLEIN’S TRIAL FOR TREASON.
In the trial of Herr Klein for treason, in
supplying the Freuch with intelligence con
cerning German fortresses, which com
mence* ftt Leipsic Monday, thirteen wit
nesses and four experts nave been sub
pcenaed. The trial will be conducted iq
public by special order of the government.
Evidence will Ixi intrixjurwd to prove that
Klein bad been in receipt of a monthly
salary of 200 marks from the French gov
ernment.
The relations between Germany and Rus
sia are imanning incomprehensible. While
there is a seeming concord betweeu the two
courts, a war of extermination against
everything German is even increasing in
Russia. Thin action on the part of Russia
results in intense bitteimess against
that country in Berlin, where th
leading journals talk of reprisals
and self-defense. Tbo first symp
tom of this feeling has been an outcry
against Germans investing in Russian
stocks, the Cross Uazette and Cologne
Gazette urguing that a government which
virtually expropriates foreigners will not
hesitate lo defraud its creilitors if war fur
nishes the necessary pretext.
STILL MORIS ALARMING.
The semi official organ, the Post , is still
more alarming. It says that In the event
of war with Germany, which many influen
tial persons in Russia arc striving to bring
about, n stroke of the pen would suffice to
ilaprtve the Germans of all their sinews of
war in the shape of the milliards they have
confided to the care of Russia. These
articles, showing growing distrust of Russia,
liave already had their effect in a full in tbq
prices of Russian securities all round.
DRIVING OUT TIIE LAND OWNERS.
The linecasing effort* of Prince Hohea
liihe. Count Henekel and Herr Kramsta, tk
largest German land owners in the Russia*
province*, to have theihselves exempt from
the effects of the Czur’s ukase have failed of
the desired result, the Bt. Petersburg gov
ernment refusing to make any exception in
favor of anylxxiy, and therefore these land
owners, together with Prince KadziwiJl and
Prince Reuse, find themselves compelled to
sell their estates in Russia at a virtual sacri
fice.
EUROPE’S ENTANGLEMENTS.
A Semi-Official Statement that Russia
will Stand by France.
Brussel*, June 2. —Le Norti, the Russian
organ published here, commenting on the
Egyptian question, says that Russia will
not fail France, and refutes the report that
Russia will not concern herself in Egypt in
return for English concessions iu Bulgaria,
Russia, Germany, and Austria, the pgpes
continues, are friendly. If they do not
agree on the Egyptian question, it will sim
ply result in liberty of action for each pow

and Italy will not espouse England’s inter

assistance.
Paris, July 2.—The Budget Com
mittee of the Chamber of Deputie*
lias postponed the mobilization of the
French army until next year, on th*

under the present laws to military duty,
may, upon request, have the date of their
