Letter from Washington.
Washington, D. 0.,)
May 31st, 1S73. J
The ceremonies at Arlington were
never more impressive than yesterday,
wbich fact shows that the interest of tho
peoplo in the beautiful custom ot strew
in flowers upon the graves of thoso who
fell in defonce of their country is not
declining.
Twelve years ago Arlington was owned
and occupied by Col. Kobt. E. Lee, who
soon cast his fortuno with tho cause of
the South and left his lands, to fight in
defense of that cause. But Robert E.
Lee, though a bravo man, and perhaps a
conscientious man, was doomed to defeat
and after the spring of 1861 he never
set foot on his old estate. Now, twelve
years have passed, General Leo has been
gathered to his fathers, and Arlington is
owned by the Government ho attempted
to destroy, and is occupcid by
Why, here has urown up a city, of
nearly sixteen thousand inhabitants. Hut
it is a quiet city, a very orderly city. It is
n 'silent city or the dead.' Its inhabitants
are the noble men who went forth to stay
the traitor's hand, to save from dishonor
tho flng that Robert E. Lee had do
sorted
The first thing the visitor observts
upon appjoaching Arlington is the mag
niSceut gateway, forty feet in height,
built of red Sjncca sandstone, over the
top of which is inscribed in letters of gold
the following stanza :
"On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are eprc.ul,
An glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead."
Upon the key-stone of tho areh sur
mounting the gateway is this inscrip
tion :
"Here rests 13,815 of the 3 15, 555
citizens who died that their country
might live."
Passing through this gateway and up
the hill by a uiee gravel road beneath
the boughs of imuieusc trees which
shade the entire way, we reach the old
Lee mansion. This is a building hav-
ing a front of about one hundred and
fifty feet auJ a depth of fifty feet. To
the rear are quite a number of one story
buildings, doubtless iuteuded tor the do
mestic servants, and quite a commodious
stable. Stand. ng in front of the risi
deuee we have a magnificent view of
Washington and the broad aud peaceful
Potomac. Prom here can be seen the
Capitol building, the Treasury, White
Houe, War and Navy Department
5uildiugs, Patent Office and General
Post Office, tho Howard University,
Soldiers' Home, the United States Insane
Asylum, the Naval Observatory and the
buildings on Arsenal Point.
To the rear and right of the mansion
is the cemetery. In that portion of the
cemetery nearest the house is the tomb
of the uuknown, a handsome monument
of garnite, surmounted by four large cau
Dons and a pile of cannou balls. A
short distance from this is the grave of
tha nffi.or i,;siics(, lu ranic among all
those interred in this cemetery, marked
by a neat marble mouument, bearing the
inscription : "D. F. Colo, Major 107th
Colored Infantry, died at Point of Rocks,
Maryland, January 7, 18G5, agol 27
years. Florence." This moutmeut was
erected by a young lady whoso first name
was Florence, and to whom this officer
was betrothed at tho time of his death.
At tho head of each tiravo is a plain
white board, upon which is painted in
black letters the name, rank, company,
regiment and date of death of him who
rests beneath. Quite a large number of
graves are marked by marble slabs and
stones more oi less elaborately carved,
placed there by tho personal frieuds of
the deceased. The cemetary is laid off
regularly", the graves being in straight
rows with streets between them 'neatly
graveled and kept in good condition.
Yesterday the grounds were profusely
decorated with the national colors and
with flowers. A small flag was stuck in
the earth at the head of each grave.
There was also a wreath or a bouquet
placed upon each mound marking the
resting place of a Union Soldier.
Did it not require too much space I
would love to give a full description of
the ceremonies of yesterday. They con
sisted of musifi. instrumental, by the fa
mous Marine Band, and vocal by a choir
of five hundred singers, prayer, orations,
the reciting of poems, the strewing of
flowers etc. The oration by the Rev.
T. DeWitt Tallmage was a most eloquent
one, and is well worthy of publication in
every journal in the laud. I will
content, myself however, with giving
one brief extract :
"In all time to come, let this memorial
day be kept. Strew flowers on the mar
tyers' graves. Strew them on the head
that ached, aud over tho hearts that
bled, and over the feet that blistered iu
the weary march. Oh, ye throng of de
parted heroes ! Stoop down aud breathe
this perfumo of a nation's thanks. Stoop
down and take this kiss of a nation's
love. Stoop down and hear this 6hout:
of a nation's redemption. Speed on the
day when War itself shall be buried
the grim old breaker of hearts. Carry
him out on an old rusty shield. Bury
Lin sword with him. Heap on him
stones and broken chariot wheels. Let
widows aud orphans clap their hands,
and the winds howl for his requim
Tin's is the second Jcalh.' "
President Grant headed the process
ion that marched over the ground, scat
tering flowers upon the graves. The day
was clear and bright, and from fifteen
to twenty thousand persons partici-
dated.
A valuablo silver mine is reported
within one hundred miles of Milwaukee,
Wis., in tho weetern part of Washington
