PENNSVIiVANIA'S HEROIC DEAD!
Where They are Buried in the south,
The Condition of the. Cerrl-
ei6ries.
Rt port of the Superintendent of Tele
graphing and Transportation,
TRANSPORTATION AND TELEGRAPH
DEVT., HARRISBURG, January 16, 1866.
Sir: That the great anxiety to know the
condition of the graves and graveyards of
those who fell victims to cruel neglect and
starvation during the late war, in the prison
places of the South,' might be satisfied with
personal observation and inspection—and
that advisory answers as to the feasibility
of the removal of bodies from these places,
'might be returned to unfortunate friends
and kinsmen for assistance of the State
under the Volunteer Relief Associations—l
proceeded by your direction to Washington
on the 18th ult., on the way to the principal
points where these burying grounds are lo
cated, in the Military Department of the
Atlantic, accessible by railroad.
To the end that time and expense might
be saved in. -.-the accomplishment of this.
object, it was thought advisable that Col.,
Chamberlin - should proceed on a similar
-mission from Nashville to Andersonville,
Ga., and intermediate points—the railroad
communication being more perfect and the
- distance to be traveled less than beyond the
most Southern points in the Rastshould,
-be required to visit—l therefore communi
cated to Col. Chamberlin by letter the in
struction under which I acted, and desired
him to proemed at his earliest - convenience
in fulfillment of his part of the object.
. An informal order from the headquarters;
,of the armies of the United States secured
me the courteous attention and assistance of
Of all local military offices in furtherance
of, my mission.
On the outskirts of Richmond, I found
the' grounds allotted to the burial of Union
soldiers in Oakwood. and Hollywood' Ceme-
teries, and the enclosure containing the
graves; of those who languished and died
under the rigors of prison treatment on
Belle Isle, surrounded by plain substantial
'fences. The burials in Hollywood Cemetery
are those deceased since the rebel evacua
tion of the city. The ,graves here are of
sufficient' depth, and well marked with
plainly lettered head-boards. At Oakwood
and on Belle Isle moulder the bodies of
those who died during the dark days when
the Confederate flag flaunted treason, and
when brave and patriotic men, imprisoned
in, unwholesome prison-houses and on this
bleak isle, sickened and died.
Here the furrowed ground alone marks
the great mortality that depleted our armies,
there being but few marks by which to
identify or distinguish particular inter
ments. A catalogue of the names, compa
nies and regiments of the heroes buried in
and arounßichmond, compiled and pub
lished by the U. S. Christian Commission,
, is invaluable for the information it gives
the bereaved friends of these.
An inspection of the prison graveyards at
Manville, Va., discovered to me that some
care, although unusual, had been taken in
the burial and marking for future indentifi
cation the graves of those who died here.
Plain headboards exhibit the names, com
panies and regiments, painted in legible
characters of those who gave up their lives
prior to November, 1864. The graves of,
those buried, subsequent to that date are at
regular intervals, and in the order in which
they are numbered in the undertaker's
register. A complete record of all buried
here is given in the publication of the U. S.
C. C. before referred to. lam of the opinion
that the identification and removal of
bodies from this point are practicable. A
ravine divides this enclosure, on the oppo
site sides of which rest in the awful still
ness of death Union and Confederate dead.
From Danville I proceeded to SEdisbury,
N. C. Here thousands of the Union armies
found their graves,where gaunt death seems
to have gorged itself with the lives of our
ill-fated soldiery. Secrecy envelopes the
numbers of this great mortality, and bier
after bier of crowded corpses, under shallow
coverings of earth, alone give idea of the
frightful ravages of disease and starvation.
The dead bodies are laid side by side in
trenches about seven feet in width and ex
tending the length of the enclosure; trench
following trench fills up almost the entire
area of less than two acres. The enclosing
fence, the broken surface of the ground,
together with the simple inscriptions of
death on thirteen board tablets alone warn
the visitor that he is on ground replete with
the recollections of brutality and suffering,
that sicken and appal. The drainage of the
bill-side on which this burying ground is
situated, must soon expose the bones of
those buried, unless steps are soon taken
for its permanent improvenient.
• My observations here convince me of the
utter impossibility of finding and disinter
ring particular remains, unless the identifi
cation was through some unnatural forma
tion of the body, or some unusual care in
its burial.
Learning that railroad communication
was interrupted south of this point, and
that I could only reach Columbia, S. C. by
a very circuitous route, or long travel by
stage, I determined to return, believing
that I should find other prison places in the
same condition as those visited, and that
this report would be satisfactory as to the
feasibility of the removal of bodies from
prison graveyardwin the far South. I visited
several other points, where soldiers of Union
armies have found their last resting places,
in the course of:my tour through this
country.
At Petersburg, City Point and vicinities.
hospital graveyards are neatly and substan
tially enclosed, and graves, as far as they
could be identified, appropriately marked.
Officers of the Quartermaster General's
Department have been engaged in estab
lishment of Government Cemeteries on
many of the historic battle-fields of the late
war. Under General Orders Nos. 35 and 58,
from this Department, records of those who
died in defence of the American Union, in
terred in the National Cemeteries at Wash
ington, and those slain on the battle-fields
of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court
House, have been published.
Efforts to the same end are in progress,
under the direction of the Chief Quarter
master of the Military Division of Tennes
see. I presume similar records will be
honor
of these operations. I have the
honor to call your attention to the report of
Col. Chamberlin, accompanying this. He
pronounces asinexpedient efforts for the
recovery of bodies from Andersonville, and
dissuades all persons from such efforts, by
reason of the great uncertainty of obtaining
particular bodies, and the difficulties in the of these to Pennsylvania. I
imve held this opinion based on the report
made by Lieut. Colonel J. Moore, Assistant
Quartermaster, September.2o, 1865, andhave
uniformly advised those applying to this
itepartinent, of the extreme doubtfulness of
efforts for the recovery of bodies from this
place being successful.
That greater facilities might be afforded,
I have arranged with the President of the
' Baltimore Steam Packet . Company to trans
port, on the orders of the State of Pennsyl
vania, at two cents per circular mile, per
sons traveling for and in attendance on the
corpse of deceased soldiers.
Negotiations are now pending with some
of• the railroad companies to still further
reduce the•:personal expense of those thus
velthg. .To subserve economy in apart
diture of the appropriation to this Depart
ment, I have endeavored:to save expense• 6y
;requiring one person to bring home more
than one body,- when applications were made
from the, same locality. I know of no other
'plan so satisfactory as that of granting tranS
portation to the relatives or their agent,
when transportation is applied for, in the
removal of bodies of deceased Soldiers of
Pennsylvania regiments. The innumerable
places where bodies are buried, and the
almost numberless routes and roads to be
traveled ,in. reaching, these, preclude the
possibility .of accomplishmg this objebt
through established agencies.
While we honor and, provide for those
who have survived the casualties of war, it
is well that we do not forget those who gave
up their lives willing sacrifices for the pre
servation of the American Union, and the
perpetuity of its liberal blessings--arfd
whether by bringing home their bodies or in
efibrts looking to the permanent improve
ment of the burying places in which they
rest, show our grateful appreciation of the
sacred obligations.that rest on us.
Respectfully your obedient servant,.
H. H. GREGG,
Chief of Transportation and Tel. Dep't.
His Excellency Andrew G. Curtin, Gover
nor of Pennsylvania.

THE BOARD OF BROICERS.—Yesterd4
afternoon the Board of Brokers of this city,
had their annual dinner, at the Assembly
Buildings. About two hundred persons
were present. Mayor McMichael, Majo-
General Meade, Commander Selfridge, of
the Navy, and a number of the members
of the New York and Baltimore Boards of
Brokers were' among the invited guests.
The large saloon was occupied with the
tables .which were bonntifally suppiled.
Charles Camblos, Esq., the President of the
Board, welcomed the guests in a neat speech.
After the eatables had been duly disposed
of;the toasting commenced. The first was
"The Union," 'which was responded to by
the whole company joining in the patriotic
- air, "Rally Round the Flag." This WaR
followed by "The President of the United
States," as the second regular toast, which
*as received with three enthusiastic cheers.
The next toast was "General Meade," which
was replied to in a very appropriate speech
by that distinguished officer. The next
toast, "The Navy," was resnonded to by
Commodore Selfridge, now of this naval
station. The next, "The City of Philadel
phia," brought out Mayor McMichael in
one of his characteristic speeches, in which
wit, sentiment'and genial good feeling were
so happily blended as to keep the table in a
roar. He concluded with a call on the old
est member of the Board, Alexander Ben
son, who spoke at some length ot the Board,
tracing it from its earliest organi7ation,
running through three generations, down
to the present time. "The Baltimore Board
of Brokers" was then toasted, to which Mr.
Zimmerman, the Vice-President of the
Board in that city, eloquently replied.
A number of other toasts were drank and
were appropriately responded to and then
the company separated. The whole affair
passed off very pleasantly.
SOCIAL UNION. An adjourned meeting
of the Social Union Association was held
last evening at the North Presbyterian
Church. Rev. Mr. Biddle presided.
Rev. Mr. Classon and Dr. Osier explained
tha object of the Association to be to have
such social influences thrown around it as
to win young . men to it. If necessary, a
banquet, music, lectures, or anything of a
social character may be resorted to for the
purpose of saving: the ;young men
now going to destruction in our midst.
While there was but one institution of the
kind in this city, there were four in Balti
more. all of which are now in a flourishing
condition. After young men were once
given a social and affectionate welcome
into the association, there would be no
difficulty in retaining them, and they would
select some church to attend in lieu of
passing their time in the bar room or engine
house.
After the transaction of some minor bu
siness, an election for Officers was held.
Col. D. W. C. Moore was chosen President,
and W. M. Abby, Secretary. A Board of
Directors was also elected.
Timm TEMPERANCE MEETING. - The
first anniversary meeting of the Union
Reform Association was held last evening
at the Church of the Epiphany. Rev.
Bishop Simpson :presided, and addressed
were delivered by Rev. Dr. Newton, Rev.
Dr. Marsh, Rev. D. W. C. Talmadge, Ray.
Wm. White Williams and Rev. Dr. Spear.
By the statements made, it appears that the
association originated about eighteen
months ago for the reclamation of the in
temperate. In the army the cause was
strongly advocated, and in six months
100,000 temperance documents were distri
buted, and over 12,000 officers and men in
the forces before Petersburg and Richmond
took the pledge. The Treasurer's report
showsthat nearly 'i„k3,soohave been expended
in the- distribution of documents. The
officers of the association are Bishop Simp
son, President. Rev. Wm. White Williams,
Secretary, and Rev. Dr. Goddard, Treasurer.
NOT IN THE BILLS.—Last evening Mr.
W. C. Jewett, commonly called "Colorado"
Jewett, having engaged a private box at
the Arch Street Theatre for three evenings,
proceeded to that place of amusement, ac
companied by a colored man servant. In
a short time a messenger was sent to Mr.
Jewett, conveying a verbal order to remove
the servant, as colored persons were not ab,
lowed in that part of the theatre. Mr.
Jewett refused to comply. In a few mo
ments a second message was sent, asking
Mr. J. to remove his servant, as his presence
there might be distasteful to the au
dience. This had the desired effect. The
colored man retired, and Mr. Jewett re
mained. The latter, at a subsequent period,
stated that he relinquished his right to the
box for the remaining evenings for which
he had engaged it.
.ARSON CASE.—Before Alderman Beitler,
yesterday afternoon, Edward Jenkins was
charged with arson. It appears, that on
Friday night last, an attempt was made to
fire the boat shop of George Sheppard, No.
1115 Beach street, by piling shavings, chips
and pitch on the door sill and then firing
theM. The flames were exting.uishedbefore
any damage , had been done. Just previous
to the alarm of fire. Jenkins had had a con
versation with a government watchman,'
telling him that he believed some one was
going to fire- the boat shop and to keep' a
sharp look out in a dertain direction. The
accused admitted his 'guilt to Fire Marshal
Blackburn. He was Committed for trial.
WHOLESALE ARREST OF PIOICPOOKETS.—
Mr. J. T. Taylor, of Ohio, while riding in
one of the cars on the Third street road,
yesterday afternoon, had his pocket picked
of nearly $5OO. He was riding on the back
platform at the time and was surrounded
by a gang of w roughs, who pushed against
him while one of the party relieved him of
his money. He communicated his loss; to
Chief Detective Franklin, who caused the
arrest of. some ten professionals. They
were alliocked up for a hearing this after
noon.

LADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JAN
ASIIUSENIEN Is.
THE Orman:l:yr.—At the Chestnut last
night , "Ai - rah-Ica-Pogue" was produced
with all the beautiful scenery displayed at
the time'of its first presentation; Mr. T. H.
•
Glenny appeared for the first time in Phila
delphia as Shaun the Post, and "the grids"
being propitious, his acting was pronounced
asuccess. The gentleman's simplicity of
manner, entire forgetfulness of self, and dis
tinct reading and singing were all appre
ciated and applauded. Miss Orton's con
ception of Arrah Meelish is not equal to our
expectations, for while she plays the most
effective scenes with power, as a whole she
dOes not make the part harmonious. Mr.
Dilordaunt, whose Beamish McCoul won for
hina the admiration of his audiences last
year, for some reason was cast for the part
of the O'Grady. The characters changed
with The cast, for the moment Mr. Mor
daunt, at first restive, became possessed of
his patience, he warmed up with the in
terest of the part and repeatedly brought
down the house. He was the complete,
witty, generous Irish gentleman. Mr.
Clarke, who can play the wily polished
villain like Captain Satan, or the quietly
humorous hero of the "Comical Countess,"
was misplaced as Beamish McCoul; but
when he has had time - to master the part,
no doubt he will have the taste and spirit to
make the most of his position; he has many
friends always ready to acknowledge his
merits. Mr. Lennox repeated the wonderful
personation of Feeny, that created such a
sensation last season. Messrs. Young,
Ward, Lewis and Foster played the parts
assigned them with commendable attention.
Fanny Power was acted and dressed by
Miss Cooper very pleasingly, the young
lady never appeared to better advantage.
Mrs. Frank Mordaunt called forth shouts
of laughter by her extremely fanny per
formance of Katy, and the "Barn-door Jig"
was encored as it has been every time itwas
danced at the Chestnut. With its charming
scenery, lively and pathetic songs, its
genuine Irish wit and humor, "Arrith-Na-
Pogue" cannot fail to draw full houses. It
will be given at the matinee to-morrow.
THE WALNITT.—It was not pleasant to sit
in the Walnut last evening, the crowd was
so dense. If tho house had been as vast as
the Colissetun at Rome we believe it would
scarcely have held all of Mr. J. S. Clarke's
admirers who were eager to welcome him
back to the scene of his former triumphs.
We thought last night of the contrast be
tween the comparatively unknown Clarke
of the old Chestnut Street Theatre and the
Clarke who gathered around him so bril
liant, fashionable and enthusiastic an audi
ence at the Walnut. Verily times change,
but Clarke has not changed with them save
for the better. The "potentially" of Henry
Dove and Jacques Strop was in Clarke
twelve years ago, and the smiles of fortune
have made it crop out, as the geologists say.
We need add nothing more, save to remark
that in every respect Clarke's reception was
a thorough, genuine, irrepressible triumph,
and that to-night he will appear in "Babes
in the Woods" and "The Fat Boy." The
performance will open with "The Captain
of the Watch," with Walcot in his capital
part of Viscount de Ligny.
THE ARCH.-If there is an absurd, ridi
culous, distasteful play in the world it is
"Camille." We can never see it with any
pleasure, even when presented by such su
perbly graceful and tasteful artists as Mrs.
I) P. Bowers and Miss Charlotte Thomp
son, yet every "juvenile" female "star"
thinks it necessary to enact it. The latest
i inpersonation of the heroine is that of Miss
Jean Hosmer, given at the Arch last night,
before a full and very fashionable audience.
So far as the acting was concerned the per
formance was really admirable. In all the
strong scenes Miss Hosmer showed power,
grace and discrimination, and if there was
any defect it was in a slight lack of tender
ness. Miss Hosmer was fortunate in having
such support as that given by Mr. Rankin
and Mr. James, who took the parts of Ar
mand and De Varville. The rest of the cast
was fair, but not remarkable for ability.
bliss Roamer has decidedly advanced in her
profession since her former engagement
here,and is certainly one of the ablest artists
now on the American stage. We have no
doubt that she will have a remarkably bril
liant engagement at the Arch, and that she
will gain many admirers with each even
ing's performance. "Camille" will be re
peated this evening, together with "A Kiss
in the Dark," in which Mr. Marlowe, Mr.
Robson and Mrs. Henri appear.
CONCERT HALL.—Heller appears through
out this week, giving new illusions each
evening, though retaining the "Sphynx,"
the greatest marvel in his repertoire.
THE PEAR FAMILY open at Assembly
Building this evening, with their bell ring
ing and other musical attractions.
SIGNOR BLITZ, at Assembly Buildiag,has
added many new charms to the fascinations
of his saloon, and he gives entertainments
every evening and on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons.
