Fully Set Forth.
Gettysburg, Pa.. July 3.—There is a
strange similarity between this day and that
of just twenty-five years ago. Then the
armies of Meade and Lee attacked each
other in sullen silence. The first day had
his generation, and as greatly born as any
solemn responsibility in human history -the

calumny, nor defeat, nor calamitous disaster
could extort an unkind or ungenerous word

Southern soldiers when the war Worn that
like their opponents they “are American
citizens with essentially the tame character
istics and powers; ex <eptional advantages
on one side ure counterbalanced by excep

make up our minds that man for man the
soldier from the South will be a match for
the soldier from the North and vice versa.”

gratitude of his country. Upon this field he

Already he had said with the pathetic
yearning of a true American heart while the
war was imminent, but had not yet begun:
“We are net enemies but friends, we must
not be enemies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonds of af
fection. The mystic cords of memory
stretching from every battlefield and patriot
grave to every living heart and hearthstone
all over this broad land will yet swell the
chorns of the Union when again touched, as
surely they will be, by the better angels of
on- nature.” To-day"his prophetic vision is
fulfilled. The murmer of these hosts of
peace encamped upon this field of war, this
universal voice of friendly greeting and con
gratulation, these cheers of the gray echoing
the cheers of the blue, what are they but the
answering musio of those cords of memory;
the swelliog chorns of the Union responding
to the better angels of our nature? If there

Abraham Lincoln as he looks down upon
this field of Gettysburg.
A RETROSPECT.
ire. True, Longstreet’s assault on Little
Bound Top was unsuccessful and the Feder
al still held their original position, bat they
were weak and broken and the morning of
the third day saw them in no way improved.
All through that sultry day wnich was to
decide forever the great questions submitted
to the arbitrament of war, silence reigned
over the armies. At four o’olook, however,
the signal gun of Lee opened the greatest
artillery duel the world has ever seen, and
Pickett’s Virginia regi-
jnenlt were hurled back from the bloody
angse, the roar of cannon and the rattle of
mutket'y was never equalled In the history
of he world. So, to-day, the morning was
quiet. The Federals and Confederates were
once more on the field, and again was one
on Cemetery Bidge and the other on Ceme
tery Bill.
GENERAL JOHN B. GORDON,
of Georgia, whose eloquent speech set the
crowd fairly crazy yesterday afternoon and
made him the most popular man in town
afterward, was compelled by his official posi
tion as chief executive to leave for Atlanta
this afternoon. To an Associated Press rep
resentative, in answer to the question, what
was his opinion of the re-union, he said:
“This meeting was a great xoccess, and
if these re-unions between soldiers
could occur yearly it would serve to
cement the friendly feeling of the Blue and
the Gray more elosely and to bind the North
and the South so firmly that there would be
no North and no South, but one country
linked together by chains of indissoluble
friendship.” ..... ,
Promptly at 3 o’clock the procession,
composed of the same commands as yestcrl
day, entered the national cemetery, Colone-
Gibson,ranking officer at present, leading. As
Courtney’s band filed past the rostrum it
struck up the popular air from Erminie,
“Dowdy Jail Birds of a Feather," ringing
out through the shady lawn, while a smile
riopled over the crowd at the inappropriate
ness of the selection.
After the Ninth New “York militia had
tramped past and the cavalry had thrown
dust over prominent people on the rostrum
and the stately monument hid them from
sight a* they matched book to their comp on
the first day’s field, General Robinson, of
New York, arose, and. leaning heavily on his
crutches, requested Rev. Mr. Twitched, of
Hartford, Coon., to open the second day's
reunion exercises with prayer. The prayer
was listened to with uncovered heads and
when, in concluding, he began the Lord’s
prayer the crowd joined in and as it rolled
across the vast lawn the sound was like
the roar of distant cannon, or the heating of
the sort on a rocky coast. The poet of the
occas'on, George i’arsons Lathrop, was una
ble to be pieeent, but part of his poem was
read by General Horatio C. King, secretary
of the army of the Potomac, and was re
ceived by trie audience with much ap
plause,
CURTIS’S ORATION.
When the orator, George William Curtis,
was presented, three cheers for
by General Sharpe, and he was greeted
with hearty applause. The following is the
speech:
Upon this field coniecrated by American
valor we meet to consecrate ourselves to

lie buried, not only brave eoldiera of the blue
and gray, but the passions of war, the jeal
ousies of lections, and the bitter root of all
our national ditTarcncps, human slavery.
Here long and angry controversies of politi
cal dogma, of material interest, and of local
pride sod tradition, came to their decisive
straggle. As the fate of Christendom was
determined at Toura, that of American Inde
pendence at Saratoga, and that of modern
Europe at Waterloo, the destiny of the
American Union was decided at Gettysburg.
A hundred other famous fields there
are of the same American bravery in the
same tremendous*strife; fields whose proud
and terrible tale historv and eoug will never
tire of telling. Hut it Is here that the atrog-
gle touched its highest point. Here broke
we fiery crest of that invading wnve of war.
From this field the civil contest, through
renowned campaigns of coarageous endur
ance, of fearful carnage, and of accnmnlating
heart-break for Northern and Southern
homes, slowly receded toward! its end. This,
therefore, is one of the histoiie fields of the
world, and to us Americans no other has an
interest so profou''d. Marathon and Arbela,
Worcester aod Valmy, even our own Bunker
Bill, and Saratoga, and Yorktown, fields of
undying fame, have not for us a significance
*o vital and so beneficent as tills field of Get

Twenty-five years ago, soldiers of the gray,
breaking up on the Rappahannock just a
month before this day, your hearts beating
high with the joy of many victories, your
hopes bent npon turning back triumphantly
the flood of aggressive war, yon eluded the
foe, and crossing the Potomac moved swiftly
forward up the Cumberland vailey, your
fires by night flashing against yonder moun
tains, your long stretched lines by day press
ing forward until they hovered around this
spot, reaching in sadden incursions even
across the Susquehanna and meditating in
the tranquil heart of a great and prosperous
commonw ealth, a mighty blow whieh should
shake the capital, dishearten the people and
practically decide the issue of the war. The
last sun of June sinking behind the western
mountains saw yonr force concentrating
yonder to the northwest, perilously near to
this little town and tranquilly awaiting the
dawn of a day of anticipated victory. Mean
while, soldiers of the bine, long-tried, untir
ing and undismayed, marching farther to the
east and covering the Capital, you moved
northward on various lines, uncertain of the
point where battle wonld be oflered, but
jiressing steadily under a burning sun, look
ing for the fee, undisturbed although UpOu
your march your Commanding General wus
changed, still pushing on toward the soot
which sheltered hitherto in happy obscurity,
was about to be baptised with hre and blood
into a fame as wide and lasting as that of
Thermopylx, and Blendheim, and Bunker
HiU.
The sun of Gettysburg rose on the first of
July and saw the army of the grav already
advancing in line of battle; the army of the
blue still hastening eagerly forward and con
verging to this point. Tne glory of mid
summer filled this landscape as if natu
bail arrayed a titling scene fur a trail
lent event. Once more the unquailing lin
long arrayed against each other stood
face to face. Once more the inexpressihl
emotion mingled of yearning memory, of
fond afiectiou, of dread foreboding, of high
hope, of patriotic enthusiasm and of stern
resolve, swept for a moment over thousands
of brave hearts, and the next instant tne
overwhelming storm of bottle burst.
For three long, proud, immor
tal days It raged and swayed,
drifting from Seminary mil far round to
Wolfs lfill and Culps Hill, then sweeping
back, with desperate fury striking the Peach
Orchard and dashing with flash and ro-r
npon Little Round Top and ltonnd Top,
raging in Devil’s Den, the earth trembling,
tlie air quivering, the sky obscured; with
shouting charge, and rattling volley, ami
thundering cannonade piling the ground
with mangled and bleeding blue mid gray,
the young, the old, bat everywhere the de
voted and the brave. Doubtful the battle
hung and paused. Then a formid
able bolt of war was forged on
yonder wooded height and launched
with withering blasts and roar olfire against
the foe. It was a living bolt and sped as If
reeistlew. It reached and touched the flam
ing line of the embattled blue. It pieree I
the line. For one brief moment in tho sharp
agony of mortal strife it held ite own. It
was the supreme moment of the peril of the
Union. It was the heroic crisis of the war.
But the fiery force was spent. In oue last,
tumultuous struggle brave men dashed head
long against men as brave, and the next
moment that awful bolt of daring conragr
was melted in tie fervent heat of to e |ual
valor, and the battle of Gettysburg was
fought.
If the rising eon of the 4th of July, 1863,
looked upon a sad and unwonted scene, a
a desolated battle field, upon whieh the com
batants upon either side had been American
citizens, jet those combatants could they
have eeen aright would have hailed that day
as more glorious than ever before. For as
the children of Israel beheld Moses descend
ing amid the clouds and thunder of the
sacred mount bearing the divinely illumi
nated law, eo from that smoking and biood-
drenched field on which all hope of future
Union might seem to have perished utterly,
they would have seen a more perfect Uoiou
rising, with the Constitution at last i in in u la-
lily interpreted, and they would have heard,
before they were uttered by human lipe, the
wprds of which Gettysburg ie the immortal
pledge to mankind, government of the people,
by the people, for the people, shall not perish
on their western way, on through the gradual
development ot civilisation and its tranafor-
uttion by tranquil industry from a wilder-
nest to n garden, it had been the happy val-

1 otomao which, after the fierce and wasting
stress of four years - *
after the total WM
ancient industrial system,
their w.t'-' "
business
brood
of liberty, peace and assured union, are re
newing the wonderful tale of the earlier years
of the century, the progress and develop
ment of ihe great West. The power aud re;,
source of those States in war seem to have
revealed to them their unsuspected skill and
force in peace. The vigor, the teuacity, the
ability, that contested victory upon this field
for those three famous days are now working
the greater miracles of industrial enterprise.
Ne er before was the sword beaten into so
vast a ploughshire nor the spear into so pro
digious a pruning hook.
The world’s imperial deposit of iron has
lain dormant for oges between the coal and
the limestone of Alabama, but only now has
it proved more precious than a gold mine.
From the war-desolated wilderness cities
have suddenly sprung, humming with work
shops and ti hundred trades, and startled
Pennsylvania hears and wonders while Ala
bama and Georgia smile in rivalry, and the
flaring furnaces of Tennessee challenge the
ancient fires of the Lehigh nnd the Allegha-
nies. South Carolina nearly doubles her
manufactured products in seven years, and
this year they will nearly equai m value all
the crops of the State, including rice aud
cotton. In seven years the assessed valua
tion of property in the twelve old Southern
States has advanced nearly one-third-
while the rate of taxation is diminished.
Thousands of new industries, mining, manu,
factoring, commercial and agricultural, arise
as in a newly discovered or lately settled
land. To facilitate every enterprise rail
roads, thoroughly appointed, penetrate the
remotest valleys. The water courses are
richly burdened with a freight hitherto un
known, and with new industries greater skill
satislies more various demands, opens wider
commercial connections and more intimate
social relations, and es ablishes a higher
and more opulent civilization. In all this
i flittering panorama the happiest incident
is doe directly to the war.
It is the blending of the capital,
the people, the energy, the expeiience, the
skill and conviction of other States with
those of the Southern States, which has pro
duced this great result. Before the war this
was impossible. Ever deepeniog doubt aod
angrier divergence had consumed the heart
of the Union and only ita form remained.
This universal trnst and co-operation, there
fore, are in the truest sense the fruits of
union. Bat fairer than all the»e, as this
•mile of prosperity broadens over the awak
ening States, is the fact that labor itself be
comes free, and slaves are transfoimed to
ci.izens. Free labor produces the great
Southern staples as amply as before, aod is
aeloomed to the new industries. It pavs
taxes on property of its own valued at nearly
a hundred millions of dollars,

Fellow Americans, in telling any part of
the story of America we seem to boast. The
simple stitement of tha truth sounds lika a
fairy tale. Yet could the citizen ot any
country exalt his land with m re reason
than we? What other civilized elate stretch
es from ocean to ocean with such unchal
lenged continental dominion, with aurh a
varied realm of natural grandeur and beauty,
with so vast a population, ao free, so intelli
gent, so indoatrioue, so contented? In older
countries, io the soft air of the storied past,
amid accumulated riches of art, and litera
ture, and long and romantic legend, the
finest flower of civilization msy seem to
bloom. But if civilization mean human wel
fare, Ihe bappinesa of the individual man,
a fairer opportunity, a nobler ideal, a more
equally diffused well-being, then this very
rear. America, whose true significance is
fair play for all men, in Ibe century plant
of civilization, covered with the opening
blossoms of a greater general welfare than
history records.
NEW ENERGIES AROUSED.
Even the civil war hat bat quickened and
deepened onr prueperous activities. Lika

qnictly into the earth, moistening aod frae*

Ih lie mighty srmie:. cf the bloc and ihe
arsn ailed for the warl
ever knew, lie seen with hope and pride
aml l this vast industrial revival. The full
fruition, indeed, is not yet. iiut if some im
patient observer, esger that the surely ripen
ing harvest shall be reaped before |la golden
prime, ex- lnimes angrily that nothing has
been done because so much r mains io do,
let his answer be that of the w(m; General
to his young Lieutenant who burned for vie-
tory nnd thought the troops too slow, “’Tis
an awful y rough road my boy, give them
time, give them time, give them time!"
The oration concluded as follows:
THE LESSON OF TUB I10<’R.
Csn wa wrest from the angel of this hour
any blessing so priceless as the common
resolution that we shall not have come to
this consecrated spot only to declare our
i iy and gratitude, nor only to cherish nroud
nnd tender memories, but also to pledge our
selves to Uoion in its sublimes’-signifieanoe?
Here at last is its sacred secret revealed.
It lies in the patriotic instinct whieh has
brought to this field the army of Northern
Virgiuia and the army of the Potomac. It
lies in the manly emotion with which the
generous soldier sees only the sincerity and
the courage of his ancient foe, and scorns
suspicion of a lingering enmity. It
lies in the perfect freedom ol speech
and perfect fraternity of spirit, which
now for three daye have. glowed in these
lieaiU ..ml echoed in this enchanted air.
These are the forces that assure the future
of our beloved country. May they go be
fore us on our mighty march, a pillar of
duud by day, ot fire by night Happy for
us, happy for ma kind, if w# and our chil
dren shall comprehend that they ore the fun-
(lumen*al condition* of the life of the repub*
lie. Then, long hereafter, when In a coun
try whose vast population covering the
continent • with a glory of
civilization which the imagination
cautiot forecast, the completedcentury of
the great ba tie shall he celebrated, the gen
eration which ’hall gither here io onr places
will rise up and call us blessed. Then, in
deed, the fleeting angel of this hour will
have yielded his most preciou- bened etion;
and in the field of Gettssburg as we now
behold it, the blue and the gray hltnding in
happy h irmqny, like the mingling hues of
the enmiuer landscape, we mar see the radi
ant symbol of the triumphant America of
our pride, our hope and nur joy.
