room for the Dedication o Antlolam t'ciuc
lery.
Upon a brlpht September morn,
rive years bjto to-rinv,
Tho pleasant hills of Maryland
Oreen and untrodden lay ;
While autumn leaves were strewn around
In purple and In polrt,
Like that Assyrian host o'er which
The plague at midnight rolled.
The pheasant heat hlg long tattoos
Where soon the drum would play,
And merrily Antiet.im creek
Went Binding on its way:
But many a tattered banner thrilled
tTpon the armory wall,
Aslftt felt the coming
Of a tempest Boon to fall.
The tramp of Lee's battalions
Struck faintly on tho oar.
As thunder in the distance tells
A storm Is drawing near :
While stretched along you bristling hlglit,
The Rebel tiles of gray,
Like leaden clouds, that soon will burst
In ruin and dismay.
But round the Flag of Freedom
iter stalwart yeomen stood.
Resolved Its stars should never sot
Till they went down In blood.
Not (lower of speech loHt on the blast
Had answered her appeal,
But marches, like a gathering storm
Or avalanche of steel ;
With every hamlet adding
To the thunder of their tread,
As if the Involution's graves
Wore giving tip tho dead;
Or students righting In their dreams
The Punic wars aeaiu.
Woke, In a holier cause to bleed
On red Antietam's plain.
The combat opened, and between
The volleys whistling then
Prom every sulphur-cloud, were heard
The cheers ol Hooker's men ;
And where the yellow com had wav'd
Artillery sowed the field
With shot and shell, that make it 8 till
An Iron harvest yield.
'Mid showers of grape aud canister,
Along our lines of blue
The soul of Seventy-six struck with
The arm of Sixty-two.
Beneath our flag the Lord of ITostS
Fought ou this reeking sod;
For traitors to their country
Are traitors to their God.
In Freedom's holy brotherhood
The Saxon and' the Gaul,
Shoulder to shoulder, as they fell,
Shared Glory's crimson pall.
The Pennsylvania husbandman
And Western mountaineer
Across the swarthy raider lay,
With empty musket, here.
Here fell the dauntless Mansfield,
Whose streaming locks of snow
Could never for a moment chill
The fiery heart below ;
And yonder bridge, that Burnside
So gallantly did hold,
Is now as classic as the Pass
The Spartans held of old.
Young Rodman, ns he prostrate lay,
Still waved his ling on high,
And faintly, with his dying breath,
Sunt up a battle-cry.
Well might Dttryca, as true a knight
As ever couched a lance,
Smile grimly to behold bis zouaves,
With springing step, advance ;
And in their on net Meagher's brigade
Of Erin's hardy sous,
Paused not till tliey were looking down
Tho muzzles of the guns.
The burly form of Hooker,
Tossed on the surging flood
Till l,o huA ..HI ,,.
a i.t Hi' 11 wm ouviTu n luivuiau
The color of his blood ;
While Sumner, Meade and Sedgwick,
Like old campaigners, made
Raw striplings breact like regulars
The galling cannonade.
Historic Maryland I such deeds
Have made, with brilliant gleam,
A Marathon of every plain,
A Nile of every streiim.
And nevermore would Kurope boast
Of her scarred grenadiers,
Could she have seen the work that day
Done by our volunteers.
Four times yon wood was won aud lost,
Where lay the foe Intrenched;
And to its staff our buuner cluug.
In scarlet rain bedrenched;
When onward swept the brawny troops,
That never charged in vain
Our lion-souled Green Mountain boys,
And lumbermen of Maine 1
And from their masked Intrenchments,
The veteran ranks within,
Were hurled as if each bayonet,
A thunder-bolt had been.
Ah I sweetly by the planter's porch
Tho orange-tree will rise,
But nevermore its snowy bloom
Will cheer his wistful eyes.
For many a year to come his blood,
That blade oi bullet drew,
Will make thy roses, Maryland,
Spring with a redder hue.
Thin grew the host that fought beueath
The fallen eturs ; and then
Like gray wolves backward, inch by Inch,
Retreating to their den
Unto the cover of their work
The baffled horde withdrew;
And soon, upon the dust of strife,
The evening sprinkled dew.
Then martial strains rose from our camp,
And as tho wounded listened
The nerveless hand was clenched again,
Acain the glazed eye glistened.
Some thought of dear ones, who, afar,
Would name from the pillow,
Or maidens who that night would ait
Alone beneath the willow.
Some thought of stately marble halls .
That in the city towered,
And others of an hnmbe cot
Amid the vines embowered.
Yet wheresoe'r the thoughts wore turned,
As memory's magnet drew them.
The spot was hallowed by the name
Of ''Home sweet home," unto them.
But whonthe morn in beauty broke,
Those heroes, who had striven
Ho nobly for their homes, had found
A better home in Heaven.
Then softer grew the hard brown hand,
As, with a woman's care,
Hough soldiers gently bore away
Their fellow comrades there ;
And when the last long treuch had closed
Above unnumbered slain,
All grades forgot an army lay
.Encamped beueath this plain !
Yes! in dark barracks underneath
Best those who chose the cypress wreath.
In service brief as glorious gained,
To laurels with dishonor stained,
ltest, till with thoe who bivonac still.
At Marathon uud Bunker's Hill.
By louder trumps than battle drew
They're marshaled for the last review I
No more the pulse that beats so true,
Will quicken as the loud taloo
Ascends at sunrise from the camp,
Or sternly beat the measured tramp;
But hands unsecu will hither bring
The earliest violets of the spring ;
And pilgrims who have viewed with awe
I he rums of that haunted shore,
Where shrouds of lava overspread
The silent cities of the dead,
And every step brings through the gloom
An echo from storied tomb
No longer o'er the deep will roam
1 o leave a holier thi iue at home I
For every clod we tread to-day
Is molded from some hero's clay.
And looking downward from the skies.
Perchance the melancholy eyes
Of Lincoln wear a tenderer glow
As ou this bcene he gaias now. '
I feel a godlike presence near,
The Great Kmancipator's here?
), Death! where is thy sting 1 o Grave!
Where is thy victory o'er the brave?
Not with dim sight and tottering frame
T'hey sought the diibl from which they came.
With eye whose flash seemed of the storm,
And war embodied iu each form,
They marched at glory's clarion call
Toirraves as to a banquet hull,
And though sweet voices tilled each wind
From home, cast uotoue look behiud.
Through such heroic souls as those
The Lord oi Hosts his Godhead shows!
O'er thrm no mournful reuuiem lloats,
But bugles peal their loudest notes
As to the heaven of Fame they march
Beneath our flag Its rainbow arch.
With an eternal furlough blest,
Sweet, sweet shall be the patriot's rest,
Fat'gued with toil whose fruits sublime
Are building on the bough of Time.
And while above these sainted bravo
One Btripe of their Od Flag Bhull wave,
This consecrated spot will be
A sacred Mecca of tho Free.
Governor Swann then .Introduced to the assemblage
President Johnson, who advancing to front of the
platform, was greeted with applause.
Speech of Provident Johnson.
My Fellow-countrymen : In appearing beforo you
It is not tor the purpose of making any lengthy re
marks, but simply to express my approbation of the
ceremonies which have taken place to-day. My ap
pearance ou this occasion will bo the speech that I
will make. My rclleclions and mv meditations will
be in silent communion with the dead, whoso deeds
we are here to commemorato.
I shall not attempt to give utterance to tho feelings
nnd emotions inspired by the addresses and prayers
which have been made and the hymns which have
been sung. 1 shall attempt no such thing. I am
merely here to give my countenance nnd aid to the
ceremonies on this occasion, but I must be permitted
to express my hope that we may follow the example
which has been so eloquently alluded to this after
noon, and which has been so clearly set by the
illustrious dead, when we look on your battle-fields
nnd think of the brave nmn on both sides who fell in
tho fierce struggle of battle, aud who sleep silent iu
their gravoft. 1 es, who sleep in silence and peace
after tho earnest conflict has ceased.
Would to God wo of tho living could Imitate tliclr
example as they lay Bleeping iu their tombs, aud live
together iu friendship aud peace. (Applause.) You,
my fellow citizens, have my earnest wishes, as you
have bad my efforts In times gone by, In the earliest
and most trying pcrlis, to preserve the Union of those
States, to restore peace and harmony to our distracted
and divided country, and you shall have my last efforts
In vindication of the flag ot the Republic, aud of the
Constitution of our fathers. (Applause.)
The benediction was then pronounced, when the
President, C abinet olllcers, Governor Swann, aud
others, lelt the platform. Colonel J, M. Moore, and
Ids assistants, formed the military, who escorted tho
President and his party to the cars at Keedysville,
which plnce they left at about seven o'clock for Wash
ton and Baltimore.
The calls were then renewed for Governor Geary by
the crowd, which constituted a meeting independent
of the regular arrangement by the authorities of the
State and the Board of Managers of the AuticUm
National Cemetery.
Governor Geary being impatiently and vociferously
called for came forward.
Speech of Clovernor CJcnry.
Follow citizens: After all you have heard to-day I
had supposed you would want nothing more. The
programme opened and closed with prayer. Thoso
who have waited must come in at the last hour. But,
my friends, we still have a place iu the hearts of the
people. (Applause.) When you come to Pennsyl
vania we will lot everybody speak. We want to bear
thanks to Almighty God for his preservation aud care
of this country. We have no gag. (Applause.) Wo
have no programme for this purpose. (Hone wed ap
plause.) Wo have no gag on our programmes ; but I
am not here to say anything on that subject.
The orator of the diiy has presented to you tho his
tory of the great battle which we are now seeking to
commemorate in the dedication of this cemetery and
the location of the monument in honor of the heroic
dead, who, in the language of the heroic Liucolu
(applause) "Died that the government of the people,
established by and for the people, should uot perish
from earth." (Applause.) The battlo of Antietam
was fought under circumstances of the greatest de
pression. When public confidence was lost, aud the
army of the Potomac had been greatly diminished by
the disastrous campaigns on the Peuinnnla aud iu
Kastcrn Virginia, and the loss of 12,000 meu at the
shameful surrender at Harper's Ferry. (Applause.)
In Lee's crossing to tight the battle at Antietam, he
hod, therefore, tho prestige of his victories to begin
with. (A voice that's bo.) To appreciate the victory
here, we must review events by thejmoat liberal logic
known to military ethics. While the Army of the Po
tomac had lost more men than the ltebels, according
to the authority of tho latter, Lea was oblige! to flee
from the field, acknowledging himself vanquished,
and a true aud hearty victory resulted to the Union
army.
My fellow-citizens, I don't Intend to detain yon long
here" (cries of "Go on''). I feel it improper for me to
let this occasion go past without placing on record the
honored regiments of Pennsylvania who fought here
(Cries of "Huzza for Pennsylvania go on"). I
proudly place on record these regiments of my native
State, and claim for her a full share of the honor of
the victory of Antietam. (Cheers.)
The Governor then recapitulated the numbers of
the various Pennsylvania regiineuts, rem irking, by
the way oi summary, mat nvo regiments ot cavalry,
six battalions of artillery and fifty regiments of in-
ltititry ti'oin tho Ivcytaone tata were tu me battle oi
Antietam. rmm the nctwim l nav. urtwu tliu
and I find thorn replete with the splendid achieve
ments of these men, and while 1 earnestly claim tor
Pennsylvania nil the honor sue nas won, i say it
was here, ns nlwavs with that great State, when she
presented her full strength of numbers, she carried the
government to a glorious victory. I would uot de
tract m tue least uegree iroiu me giory uuu uuuur ui
the other States. I would not deprive them of one
particle of glory to their troops ou this biiu;e-lleld.
t was one sacreu now oi uioou iu a crimson biu-.u iu
Antietam not to any particular troops the soldiers
of the country that won this victory. We are indebted
for it to Maine. New York. Ohio, Maryland, Wiscon
sin, Iowa, Pennsylvania nud other States for the vic
tory, whose sous perisneu on tno neiu. ineyareas
dear to us and arc cherished as kindly as our own.
The sous of all dved this soil with their blood, nud
when the day dawned on the battle Here, it found tho
L uton dead uil commingieu on ine ueia oi sirue, nuu
while the sun continues to rise aud set nnd the dew
distil from Heaven, our children and our children's
Children will come hither to worship at this shrine,
and they will recur to the patriotic dead here, aud to
the memory of those who fought and fell to preserve
the union of the country and the rights of men the
rights of freemen in a preserved Republic. (Applause.)
I have been speaking repeatedly for the last two
days, and will thereto! e conclude my remarks, t here
are here Governor f enlon, lieutenant-Governor uox,
and tho Governor of Maine, whom I have no doubt
yon will be glad to hear.
There were cries of "go on." but Governor Geary
withdrew after introducing Governor Feuton, of New
York, who spoke as follows :
Speech oi" (overnor Kenton.
Fellow citizens : I dislike to detain you even one
moment, but I hesitate to leave this place without
Buying a lew words. It is not easy to tlud words to
Wily and Utly express my feelings, or that miy bo
most appropriately employed in the name of my State,
whose eight hundred sons here sleep. There are times
when human speech is too poor and weak to embody
the emotions which the recollections ot heroic deeds
inspire. New York had almost twenty-seven thousand
men upon this field of strife, nnd about oue-eighth of
these were Killed nnu wouuocd.
But New York was not nlone here; nor were the
mutilated and dead nlone from her ranks. Others
come to-day ns 1 come the representatives of Stales
united aud living through the sacrifices of their
fallen. Also, wlioui tho nation alike mourns, aud with
fitting ceremonies wo dedicate this place where
the clevotion and valor Inspired of our Chris
tian civilization blazed in the rod hue arouud
these hills to go out no more while the page of history
shall endure. The token of our gratitude which we
now prepare to place over the dust that Is henceforth
sacred, is the index that iu the fit eloquence of silence
shall challenge the progress of mankind. The noblest
thought ot man as to human right, ine utmost sell-
dculul at the call of duty, the grandest example of
national devotion ol the strong to ine weak, charac
teristic of our great war, taking firm root, strength
ened the trunk aud extended the branches of the tree
of freedom and peace, where ripened fruit hangs
awamug for bauds clean ol ail uutailhwiuess aud lu-
iustice.
'1 lie oppressed or an lanus, toning aim waning ior
their harvest of freedom, will evermore turn thoir
faceB to our heroic struggle, and grow patient aud
strong. The htatesman, grappling the problems which
impede the progress of tue peoiile, balllcd by selfish
ness, appalled by crime, or disheartened by indif
ference, looking to these bights, above the clouds
that surround him. shall see this pledge to liberty and
work on, aud it it shall be at any tune that wicked
men seek to destroy or disturb Human progress,
reckoning on the ignorance which suffers or the pre
judice which bans the lowest uud most friendless,
will not iney, ni lenm., pause ueioie tue uprmseu
hHiirt of au enfranchised people?
True we are not tree from national trials, but faith
ful still to justice and liberty, the result is not doubt
ful, uud our lives also, as the lives of tho men whoso
deeds we now celebrate, will be sacred, ns they are
given to the progress and Happiness ot iurukiuu.
The assemblage then dispersed.

The cars started from Keedysville a few minutes
before Beven o'cloi k. About this time several of tho
passengers were relieved of their valuables, Including
watches and pockctbooks, pickpockets being in the
crowd.
riillnifelphln Troon Present.
The only regular organization of troops on the Hold
was from Philadelphia tho National Guards and
Gray Beserves. There were, however, many officers
present In full uniform, and the old battle-field was
well supplied in the general and staff officials, who, dur
ing tho progress of the speeches, fought their battles
over again on the field where they had won their
honors five years ago.
After the laying of the corner-stone, the rain en
tirely ceased, tlio clouds dispersed, and tho sun shone
forth brightly until the close of the ceremonies at mix
o'clock, when the long lino of carriages and wagons
was again tilled, nnd returned to Keedsville, where
the President, Cabinet, officers and Governors took
