Agreeably to public announcement the monu
'Tient to the memory of the late Major-General
John Sedgwick, United States Volunteers, Was'
unveiled and solemnly inaugurated yesterday of
terpoen at the United States Military Academy at
Wert Point.
At three o'clock P. M., amid a heavy and con
tinuous rain, which thoroughly saturated the
walks and grass of the parade, and the drops
falling incessantly from the trees, the military
portion of the procession formed.which included
a battery of light artillery (of six gnus), the
hands of West Point, of Governor'e Island and
of the First United States artillery, combined as
one grand inusical zompany of seventy instru
ments, which preceded the companies of
cadets, nearly 800 of whom were under
arms, commanded by Brevet Brigadier-Gen
eral Pitcher. Thu entire procession, which in
eluded many distinguished gentlemen, some of
whose names are historical, being placed in
charge of Major General Wright, chairman of the
committee of four generals, all of whom had
served honor. b:y in the Sixth corps, and en
trusted by a forreal resolution of Congress with
the execution of the splendid statue, which will
Stand for all the future a memorial of one of the
most beloved and heroic of the soldiers of the war
for the preservation of the Union.
At fifteen minutes past three the procession
Which tied formed on the southeastern side of the
plain, received the signal to march, and imme
diately the soldiery proceeded down the westerly
Avenue towards the platform, armed with um
tirellaS, where the distinguished guests were
seated together with the orator of the day and
the chaplain of the post.
Within a few feet was the monument, in the
extreme northwesterly corner of the parade,
opposite the residence of Colonel Black, com
mandant of the corps of cadets, and about 200
feet from the shaft erected to the memory of
Major-General Brown, and which, until the
prayer prepared for the occasion was read by the
chaplain was concealed by the national flag,
that fell in graceful folds around it.
At the close of the invocation Major General
Riekett, who during the lifetime of Sedg wick had
commanded the Third Division of the Sixth Army
Corps of volunteers, advanced to the pediment
of the monumentand amid the profound silence
of the spectators, who stood with heads uncov
ered, the cadets having previously formed in
close column, doubling on their centre, pre
sented arms, the battery at the same time firing
thirteen guns unveiled the statue.
The statue is a perfect work of art. It per
fectly represents the man. It is of life size, and
is placed on a pediment which, with the founda
tion, raises the whole memorial to an altitude of
about fifteen feet. The figure Is happily con
ceived. The right leg is advanced, while the
point of the sheath sword rests on tbe ground.
The hilt is covered with his right, ganntletted
hand, the left resting upon tit, and his fatigue
cap, as if just removed from the head to give the
wide, open eyes a clearer view, is held carelessly
between the sword and the body. The sash is
tied carelessly around the Waist, the tassels hang
ing a little behind the middle of the side. Tne
head is thrown Aptly forward, as if the eyes
were scrutinizing some object in the near dis
tance, while the mouth wears a sad yet resolute
smile.
He is supposed to be looking at the rapidly
rising waters of the Chlckahominy, while stand
ing at the head of his corps on the hither side,
while another corps of the Army of the Potomac
is being "annihilated" by the rebel .army under
Lee. He is ordered to advance, if possible, to
their relief, and he accomplishes the perilous
feat. The pose of the life-like figure, as it is sup
posed to be standing on the raging and rolling
river, is thus eloquently alluded to by Mr. Curtis,
the orator of the occasion :
See how the story opexed, for it ended as it began.
Alter the battle of Williamsburg the first considerable
action was that of Fair Oaks and Seven Pines. The
=as of the Union army laid on the eastern side of the
Chickahominy, and two corps, counting about 30,e00
men, were upon the other shore. A furious storm in
the night promised to swell the river to an impaesable
flood, and in the morning the whole rebel force bore
down upon the Union lines to annihilate one wing of
the army in full sound and sight of their brothershope
less], separated from them. All the morning the bat,
tie both raged; tbe Union troops were slowly
driven back. By noon the river began to rise.
Deters] Sumner, who was upon the eastern shore,
and in whose corps G. neral Sudgwick commanded
a division, was ordered to cross, and he cent
word to Sedgwick, the "always ready," as General
Scott used to call him, to adv.ince ; but as Sedgwick
came towards the bridge be saw that 'be river had be
come a sea. sw. eping fiercely by. Far out in tie midst
of the wave,. 8 pltaik, apparently anchored, showed the
channel; beyond the further end of the plunk the wa
ters stretched 'or a gaunter of a mile. It was a peri
lous task to feel his way through the water with a
heave y batte-y of twenty-four guns, and then trust a
trail, trembling plank for the passage of the channel.
But the smoke and roar of the bittie beyond the flood
came nearer and nearer, and he knew that his breth
ren were sorely pressed. After a calm, thoughtful
survey be gave the word "forward." Into the waters
moved the steady line; the gnu
carriages sunk almost to the gnus;
flounoerieg. staggering, but painfully dragged uu sol
diers and batteries across the quivering bridge, which
was whirled away as they left IL Toiling again
thrcamh the swift water and the mire, and an hour and
a half before sunset, Sent , wick came upon the field.
The rebels, flashed with success, were driving their
victorious columns as a wedge between the centre and
the right of our wavering forces, but, like his I ronside
ancestor, Sedgwick swiftly advanced, formed hi',
opened his batteries and shattered the wedge. The
wasted foe recoiled before his ;tremendous fire, his
whole division in blazing line of battle moved steadily
on, reized the stricken enemy, hurled him into the
woods, and the battle of Fair Oaks was won.
It is enough to say of the conception of the
figure and face of this image of the hero, that it
is entirely worthy of the artist. It is a mono
meat of genius.
There is but one fault, and that is a serious one.
The place selected for the statue is too retired,
and unless pointed out not one visitor in a hun
dred to the National Academy will ever notice it.
The inscription on its pediment is as follows :
Major General
JOHN SEDGiWICK,
United States Volunteer z,
Born Sept. 13, 1813,
Kdled in battle, at Spottsylvania, Vu.,
May 8, 1861, 4
While in command of the Sixth Corps.
Army of the Potomac.
The Sixth Army Corps,
In loving admiration of its Commander,
Dedicates this Statue
to his
Memory.
The above is on a metal plate inserted in the
south side,while on the easterly aide the insignia
of the corps, the Maltese cross, is placed, sur
rounded by a wreath in metal (laurel) leaves.
On the westerly side is the shield of the republic,
surmounted by an eagle, also surrounded by a
wreath. The northerly panel is without an in
scription or insignia. The cross of the corps is
also placed on the left breast of the statue.
The silence which immediately preceded the
unveiling was followed by rounds of anr.lause,
all present being evidently highly pleased with
the memorial.
The stripping was followed by - music from the
united bands, which a few ai,,ments be of •
had rendered in magnificent style the S
Mater.
The orator then advanced to the front of the
stand, while an officer of the army held an
umbrella over his head and manuscript to shield
him and it from the rain that fell during the
greater part of the delivery of his splendid eulo
gium in memory of the dead.
Mr. Curtis commenced by referring to the "his
toric hills" which surrounded the assemblage and
the "historic river" flowing at their feet, and
of the ground upon which Wrushington trod, and
the reininiticences of the revolution that had made
the National School a school for heroes, and then
alluding incidentally to the beautiful statue,
branched oil into a review of the work of the
Puritans, and showed that in every field, although
sneered at for their sterling piety by the cavaliers,
they won the victory of freedom and of progress
both for the Old World and for this. He then
referred to an ancestor of the dead hero, Major
General Robert Bede:wick, a Puritan, who
fought sternly and unflinchingly ander the great
Cromwell, and was entrusted by that great leader
with an important mission to an Island in the
West Indies, and who, Charles the Second re
turning to the English throne, rather than bow
the knee to royalty, sailed for Connecticut, and
there founded the Sedgwick family, a representa
tive of WhiCh,giatidf h
.itt-er to Major-General John
Sedgivick,fought through the Revolutionary war,
and was subsequently made a Major-General of
Militia by the State of Connecticut,
• The orator then in eloquent terms reviewed the
career of the deceased during Inc rebellion and
anterior thereto, dosing with a magnificent per
oration:
In consequence of the rain storm but few com
paratively were present. Among those on tne
platform were noticed Mr. C. H. Tompkins, Se
nator Foster, of Connecticut; Governor Ward, of
New. Jersey; Major-Generals McClellan, Meade,
Heintzelman, Wright, Wheaton, Seymour, Ham
lin, Franklin. Towers, Doubleday and Shaler;
Colonels A. W. Adams, S. J. Smith,D. J. Nevins
Samuel Truesdale, O. Milne; Majors H. C. Ellis,
T. Norton Bundy, and Lieutenant W. R. Redden
and others, of the "Sixth corps. •Colonels H. C.
Pratt and F. F. Flint, United States Army; Mirjor
T. M. Farrell, United States Army; Dr. Paige,
United States Army; Lieutenant 'Algiers, United
States Army, and Dr. Simmer', of the British
Army. The only sister, Mrs. Veish, and a cousin
of the deceased. were also present.
At the close of the address "Moses in Egypt"
was played by the bands, after which the assem
blage was•db3mLssed with the benediction.
The cadets on the plain then executed the
manual of arms in splendid style, and upon
leaving the parade the pleased company retired
to the river to seek passage homeward.—Herald.

THE HANLON& —The company of gymnasts at
the Chestnut Street Theatre will conclude their
engagement on Saturday evening next, and will
rot return to this city for a long time to come.
Those who have Lot seen them should embrace
the prevent opportunity. It is fair to say that
the Bunions surpass every rival troupe in exis
tence in the gracefulness, daring and bold origi
nality of theirfeats. The famous Ravels never
did anything better than a multitude of things
which are presented by the Hanlone every night.
The Russian athlete with the bard name—Pfau—
is incomparable in his way, and his performance
alone is worth the price of admission. The en
tertainment is of the most refined of its class,
tl.e personal character of the Hanlon Brothers
being a guarantee that there will be fastidious
exclusion of all eoarsenes4 and vulgarity.
CVs NEVEIt could understand why ready-made
clothing should not be got up with as much care
and style as is clothing made to order. That this
is possible, and has in one case, at least, been ac
complished, is plain to be seen by all, at Wane
maker Brown's. Their "indispensable stilt" 14,
we believe, the equal of anything that can be gut
up in any inereb,nt plilor's in town.

ever since Queen Isabella was overthrown. She
wept all day when she heard that the Queen had
to leave Spain. She even asked the Emperor to
offer Isabella the Elysee, in Paris, as a perma•

usually crusty manner. The intrigue set on foot
to place Prince Napoleon on the Spanish throne
will not amount to anything. The fat, jolly
Prince dislikes the Spaniards, and for years after
his return from his embassy to Madrid, nineteen
years ago,he would curse and deride the Spaniards
as a nation of semi-barbarians. The Prince hes,

BEST INVESTMENTS.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
OF THEO
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.
860 Miles Completed.
A limited amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of the
Union Pacific.Rallroad Company aro offered to the pub.
lie, as one of the safest and most profitable investments.
I. They are a first mortgage upon the longest and moat
Important railroad In the country.
3. By law they can be leaned to the Company only as
the road la completed, eo that they always represent a
real value.
- 12 00
3. Their amount is limited by act of Congress to Fifty
Million Dollars on the entire Pact dc line, or an average of
less than 630,000 per mile.
4. Hon. E. D. Morgan. of the United States Senate, and
lion, Oakes kmes, of the United Stites Souse of Repro-
Pentatives, are the trustees for the bondhold.m, to see
that all their interests are protected.
b. Five Government Directors, appointed by the Prod.
dent of the United States, are responsible to the country
for the management of its affairs.
6. Three United States Commissioners must certify that
the road Is well built and equipped. and to all respects •
first claw railway, before stay fonds can be issued open IL
7. The United States Government lends the Company
its own bonds to the same amount that the company is
sues. for wblcb it takes a second mortgage as security.
it As additional aid, it makes an absolute donation of
12M0 acres of land to the mile, lying upon each aide of
the road.
9. The bonds pay six per cent. in gold, and the principa
is also payable in gold.
10. The earnings from the local or way business were
over FouuLt.lon Dor.tans last year. which, after pay.
leg operating expenses, was much more than tnifficient to
pay the inter est. These earninge will be vastly increased
on the completion of the entire line In 1t 9.
12. No political action can reduce the rate of interest.
It must remain for thirty years--eic per cent, per annum
on gold. now equal to between eight and nine per cent. in
currency. The principal 1.9 then payable fn gold. If •
bend, with such guarantees. were issued by the Govern.
meet. its market price would not be less than froth 05 to
29 per cent. premium. As these bonds are horned under
Government authority and supervision. upon what Le
very largely a Government work, they must ultimately
approach Government prices. No other corporate bonds
are made so secure.
18. The issue will soon be exhausted. The sales have
sometimes been half a million a day, and nearly twenty
millions have already been sold. About ten millions more
may be offered. It is not improbable that at come time
not far distant, all the remainder of the bonds the Com
pany can issue will be taken by come combination of
capitalists and withdrawn from the market. except at a
large advance. The long time, the high gold interest.and
the per feet security.must make these bonda very valuable
for export
All the prediction which the officers of thie Company
have made in relation to the progress and business success
of their enterprise, er tho value and advance in the price
of their securities, have been more than confirmed. and
they therefore suggest that parties who deeire to invest in
their bonds will find it to their advantage to do so at once.
The price for the present Is la and accrued interest at
6 per cent. in currency from July 1, 1868.
Subecriptione will be received in PlAmdelphia by
