v as a glorious climax to the reunion ot the
Army of the Cumberland, and Chatta
nooga acquitted herself with the highest
honor. A grand barbecue and the perma
nent organization of the Chickamauga Me
morial Association took place at Crawfish
Sir in <rs oa the edge of the famous battle
field of Chicamauga. Fully 25,00.) people
were on the grounds. The blue and the
gray were there together, the past forgotten
and only the glorious and patriotic object
of the present in view.
GOV. GORDON’S SPEECH.
At 11 o’clock Gov. John B. Gordon of
Georgia made the address of welcome. Gov.
Gordon s&i i:
jr. ' hairman and Fellow-Soldiers of Both
.i, i his anniversary morning the south salutes
you with uncovered heads, with open arms and
fame.-t and honest hearts. She cannot receive
voa with costly and imposing ceremonials, but
with simplicity of speech and patriotic pur
,,o-c she gladly greets the brave and
generous of each army and of every section.
To this renowned battleground, made menu ra
!i!. i,v your prowess and hallowed by American
biood, she bids you welcome. The south cou
•-'uiulates the whoie country that these his
torc plains, "here t wenry-s xyears ago you
no t m deadly sectional conflict, is now io be
come the scene and wi ness of your joint pledge
of restored and enduring fraternity.
CONGRATULATES THE REPUBLIC.
She congratulates the republic that here
wliere north and south marshaled their hosts
fur battle the-.e hosts now meet in living, last
ia brotherhood, united in bonds of mutual re
spect and confidence; a brotherhood made bet
ter, braver and grander by mutually cherished
ar.d imperishable memories. The people of this
section hall with pleasure the coming of all
men who have borne themselves bravely on any
ticid of duty, but they fling wide their open
doors and ’greet with a thousand welcomes
tl >-e who in war war* brave and in peace are
both generous and just.
TRUE COURAGE.
True courage always aud everywhere chal
lenges the respect and homage of mankind.
But the truest and highest courage is that which
is born of lofty convictions, and is elevated in
its aspirations, gentle, loving and tender True
courage cherishes generosity as its
noblest characteristic: conquer < preju
dices and passion as its highest achievement,
and thus brings to the victor the greatest pos
sible glory, to the vanquished the least possible
detriment, aud to both the utmost possible
harmony, happiness and peace.
T i you, Gen. Rosecrans, and the soldiers of
the Army of the Cumberland. 1 come with a
soldier's greeting on my lips and a soldier's
sympathy in my heart.
CO-OPERATION PLEDGED.
Speaking of those whom I am called to repre
sentl pledge their earnest co-operation in the
sacred mis ion which convenes you; and in all
things which pertain to the peace, welfare and
unity of the American people. In their name I
proclaim their eternal fealty to the American
constitution which is their protecting shield, to
the American republic which is the joint work
of the Father's hands; the American union of
states from which they withdrew for their
safety but which now that the causes of dissen
sion are gone, they will loyally and bravely
defend, for t.ieir future proteedon.
GRAVE OP SECTIONAL HOSTILITY.
They rest in assurance that the union though
restored by arms is to be preserved and made
stronger and perpetual by universal amity and
impartiality. With a love for this whole coun
try w uch no bower can destroy, with a title to
its freedom which none will disoute. With an
cestral traditions which are dearer than life, we
are here to unite With you in the final and eter
nal sepulch r of sectional hostdi y.
THE CAUSES ENGULFED.
The causes which produced the alienation
were long since engulfed in the vortex of revo
lution, beyond th ■po ver of resurrection. Let
us therefore bury the passions which these
causes evoked in a still deeper grave. Let us
bury the foul spirit of discord so deep that no
blast of a partisan political trumpet,
however wide-sounding and penetrating,
can ever wake it to service
again. Gainsay it who will, since slavery is
abolishe 1 and the Chinese wall along the line of
36-38 is broken down there is absolutely no
legitimate barrier of separation and no cause
for strife. Why may not the wide waves of
sympathetic continental patriotism roll from
sea to sea and from Maine to Texas, without a
break or ripple or single obstruction?
God speed the day when this truth shall com
mand recognition throughout the republic.
God speed the day when unworthy doubt shall
give place to u iversa! trust; when unstinted
faith in the unimpeachable honor and patriot
ism of the whole American people shall become
an essential passport to public station; when he
who fights least for party and mo3t for country
shall be proclaimed by press and people as the
wisest statesman aud truest friend.
GEN. ROSECRANS RESPONDS.
The address of welcome was responded to
by Gen. W. S. Rosecrans. Gen. Rosecrans
w s visibly affected over the eloquent and
patriotic language of Gov. Gordon, and
spoke most feelingly of the grand sight the
scene presented— Id confederate aud fed
eral soldiers sitting side by side, engaging in
piemant, friendly converse, and he predicted
that the day would s .on come when the last
vestige of feeling over the war would be
eradicated. He believed that trite sceno
was an augury of the glorious success of
the proj ct to make the Chickamauga
battlefield a national park to nppr -priateiy
mark the greatest battle of the civil war.
In closing he said; “Now, fellow citizens, I
nm s rry that I am not able to fittingly ex
p "ess the feeling I have on this occasion.
i’or to give speech to the kindtb' ughts that
come to my mind as I sta id here. lam
guo I have rot words, neither have I voice
to appropriately do so, but I hope and
pray that the future may see the eim ent
success of our fraternal undertaking.”

lous escape.
A LEG CRUSHED TO A JELLY.
The next to follow was an 8-year-old boy,
also named Borngan. HU lelt log was
crushed to a jollv. Then came Mrs. Black.
Her bosom, neck aud face was dreadfully
swollen.
The scene of the terrible disaster was vis
ited by thousands, who blocked up the
street and made it a difficult tas ( for any
one to move in any directi >u. There being
but one narrow street betweet the r ick and
river there is a c mplotesto page of traffic,
except bv climbi ig over the debris.
A large force of men are engaged in the
work of searching the ruins.
A TEMPORARY MORGUE.
The shipping office in the Dominion gov
ernment buildi g bas been turned into a
temporary morgue, and over twenty bodies
aro lying in it. It is difficult to identify
some of the bodies, so much have the boen
disfigured aid crushed. Several of the
persons reported mis,ing have turned up,
out it is thought tint there will be ten or
more vie ins ti ho added to the list. A
complete list of the injured cannot he made
up ns yet, as they w ere removed to different
hospital and to friends’ houses as *ocn a,
they were taken from the ruins.
Tue city cou cil held a special meeting
t -day to co sider what t e best c urse of
action will be to complete the work of rc
c ivering the re naming dead.
It is feared that u large part of the rock
adjoining the site of the slide will c me
1 iwu, as large crevices have appeared and
rain is s ill failing and may repeat the
operation which cans >d last night’s disaster.
PEOPLE MOVING OUT.
People are moving out of tho threatened
houses.
There bas been no lack of volunteers for
work at the rums, but. there is a lack of in
telligent direction, as there is no person in
authority.
Tho citizens are sending in money to re
lieve any immediate distress am mg the
homeless women ad children.
Tue mass of earth and rock moved is,
roughly speaking, about 600 feet frontage
by 80 feet iu depth. Some of tne pieces of
C e fullen rock must weigh nearly twenty
tons, and there are so many huge blocks
that it makes the work of clearing it very
difficult.
A PREVIOUS SLIDE.
The site of the present landslide is almost
identical with that of one which occurred
in JB4l, when eight buildings were crushed
and thir y-two persons were killed. The
houses troyed last night all stood on
either side of the roaiway aud were not
thought to bj In danger, but the immense
mans of roc* swept clear across the road
way and over the brick buildi gs, demolish
ing them as if they wore matin of card
board.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE FUNERALS.
Preparations are being made f rthefuner
als of the killed, who will be buried at the
j iint expense of the citizens and local gov
ernment. Among those b iried by ther cks
are a young couple nuniod Nolan, who were
married a few weeks ago. Nolan could have
escaped, but he lost his life in trving to
get ms wife out of the house. It is thong it
. nat the king’s bastion on the citadel will
have to bo removed, as it is now noa- tne
edge of the rock, with unsafe crevices in
front of it. A< a precautionary measure
all communication with the bastion bas
been cut off and morning and evening gu is
will not be fired fro n it.
A CROWD ON THE SCENE.
About 30,000 persons have visited the scene
of the disas er during the day. Thousands
crowded into tne m rgua and seized every
point insiilo and outside tiie buil ;ing where
a glimise c mid be had of the bodies of the
victims. Many worm n who obtained an
en ranee had to ne remuvod in faulting con
dition, the mangle 1 bodies being a sigh to
try the nervoV f the *t o ge t men. It hai
been deoi led to u-e small charges of powder
to break up the huge b .uld rs ovrring the
roadway, a< it is cor.am that there can be
nothing l.Ving beneath them.
