April 5, 1862. And on the picket line, dark, wtt or snowy, alono far out in front the sentinel paced hia weary round, with anxious ears and sleepless eyes, watching

f o : the approach of the ffK;. There many a poor boy took hi long farewell to earth In midnight A brief review may dimly present tbe great services which our Lnion soldiers rendered, and recall the debt of gratitude which our Nation owes to the living and the dead. Of all the Nation of the earth of which historians have siren us any account the history of the United fctates Is peculiar. When our fathers first landed on thi continent it was an unbroken, uncultivated wild of forests, prairies and mountains, and civilization within its broad limits was unknown. Many of our first immigrants had fled from their European homes, persecuted forconsclenceuake, pome to better their fortunes, whilst many came to throw oil the galling chains of an aristocracy that held them down to servitude and an Ignominious inequality. For many years there was a seeming, passive submission of the Inhabitants to the lords and proprietors of the respective colonies and plantations, whilst they were compelled to struggle with a savage and relentless foe. In thi3 condition, with a sparse population, and almost unrestrained by law. the spirit of Independence grew and strengthened until the aristocratic chains that formerly bound them In Europe were scarcely felt, and were almost unknown. From 1776 to lfeGl, when the United States had become a great Nation, with many millions of 'sovereigns, true manhood, in its noblest and broadest sense, constituted the only title to honor, distinction and public favor. Such was the condition of our country in 1661, when the rebels first fired upon Fort Sumter. The North felt the shock as from an electrio battery, and hundreds of thousands of gallant men sprang to arms to preserve the Union, which they believed to be necessary for the preservation of the liberty of mankind. There can bo but little donbt at this time that the leaders of the rebellion aimed to destroy that universal liberty which the Declaration of Independence had proclaimed and tbe federal Constitution had confirmed. It was, undoubtedly, the dream of many Southern leaders to build an aristocracy upon tho institution of African slavery, overran, and conquer Mexico and establish a great government where the white man should be the lord of the land. The contest was tierce, long and terrible. Hundreds of thousands of brave men perished in the conflict, and billions of dollars in money and property were spent, wasted and destroyed by the contending armies. It seemed for a time that a great sacrifice, of life and property had been made in vain. The price was great and tho loss immense, and left many a home destitute, desolate and in mourning, but in the providence of God there is an undercurrent unknown and far in advance of the foreknowledge and wisdom of man. Nearly all the great wars and conflicts which have seemed at the time to be a curse have resulted in the ultimate good of the human race. In 1861, when the civil war commenced, tho United States had a population of a little over 31,000,000. The army or the North, the federal army, before the close of the war had mustered into service 2,336,012 men, and the confederates could have had but very few less In their army and those who served with them on tho many fields of battle. There is a great misunderstanding in regard to the relative forces engaged in the resroctive battles of the rebellion. This has arisen from tho f aot that nearly all the male inhabitants of the South capable of bearing arms who resided near the respective battle-fields either volunteered or were pressed Into service for the day of battle. The dead and wounded citizens found on nearly every field fully sustains this statement. Thousands fought who had no name or place on the rosters of the confederate army, and the actual numbers engaged have never been properly estimated. Besides this, nearly the entire population were acting as spies, guards and sentinels against our Invading armies. Such forces aro as necessary as soldiers In the ranks. The losses on lKth sides could not have been less than two million men, and to-day of all that vast host of combatants In both armies there areju-obably not exceeding two million now living. Yet, with all those great losses our population has more than doubled since the war, and we may count now sixty-three millions, against thirty-one millions when tho war commenced. In a financial point of view, the wealth of the United States is mors than four times as great as it was in 1861, and our national credit is unsurpassed by any nation on the face of the globe. But this is not all, for tne rebellion has left us one people, one consolidated Nation, and has wiped out forever In our institutions the very name of slave," and liberated over four million of people formerly held in bondage. If the rebellion had proved successful, what would havo been the oonditiont The South would have obtained the full possession of the Mississippi river, which drains over 20.00O miles of navigable waters. From Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico the commerce of the Northern States would have been paralyzed and closed. The student of American history will not forget the fierce and bitter contests which our Western settlers had with Spain from 1787 to 17S1J in regard to the navigation of the Mississippi river, and our commerce, from New Madrid to New Orleans. Our people at that early date demanded either tho freo use of the river to the Gulf of Mexico or a separation of the West from the Eastern States. War at one time was imminent with Spain for obstructing tho free navigation of that river and transportation of the commerce of the then rapidly-growing State of Kentucky. What would be the result now I The severing of the Mississippi river at Cairo from the North, and attempting to preserve peace, would resemble the experiment of cutting the human body in two. and tying the arteries with the vain hope of retaining life in the severed part. There never could be peace with such a f oparation. Again, the existence of slavery over an imaginary line, with the warm sympathies of the Northern people for fleeing fugitives, could only result in continual war along the whole border lino. Tho friction between a nation of freemen, whose religious convictions have for many years held slavery in abhorrence, and the arrogance of the lordly slaveholders of tb South would prove to be the prolific and unent! tag source of combats and bloodshed. These tw'o causes alone the freedom of commerce on the Mississippi and the freedom of men held in bondage would inevitably result in an irreconcilable conflict between the separated sections. We wero compelled to make this Nation one or see discord triumphant and peace and freedom depart from the land of our fathers. It was to secure this unity, this peace, that our noble comrades fought anddd. It was fur this that our Northern States arose in their might, and with unswerving resolution on many hard-fought fields of blood pressed on to victory. Indiana sent to the field In the late rebellion, according to Adjutant-general Terrell's report. iros.367 soldiers, as brave ana true men as ever marched to battle and to victory, but sbe left on hard-foughc fields and In the grave-yards of her hospitals 26.672 dead. Comrades, what bloody scenes have rassed before you. Many of you yet recall and dream of the terrible battles through which you have passed. Dream! Ah. yes: the fierce battles have been fought over and over again when all around has been hushed in sleei Donelsnn, Shiloh. Fort Gibson. Raymond. Champion Hill, Big Black. Vicksburg, Jackson, Rocky-faced Bldge, Resaoa, Kensaw, Atlanta, Chlckamauga, Stone River, Antietani, the ilderness, with manyother blood stained fields, have, like a panorama, passed before you, with the dead and dying lying thick around you, when, in tke loud storm of battle, yon would awake from the terrible nightmare dream to find that you wero living in peace, with the stars and e trine still proudly floating over a free ana undivided Kepuuuc. Only twenty-four years have passed, and by many those great events and obligations seem to have been forgotten, and some of our old enemies are now trying to navigate the old ship of state, which in former days they madly sought to destroy. Alas, with some how soon are the good and loyal deeds of the past forgot ten, lorgetruiness is sometimes a virtue and a Messing, and sometimes it Is a crime and a sin. To forget our wrongs and forgive our enemies for their misdeeds is noblo and godlike, but to forget the sufferings, the wounds and sacrifices of our soldiers who were injured or died in defending our country, anil to leave their wives and children In destitution and want, is anationai ingraiuuae mat can oniy do Classed as a eln, a 6hame, or a crime! When wo look back and remember how our brave boys suffered. words seem feeble and more than idle. Could we to-day know the personal history of tome of our humblest soldiers wo would have a narrative more thrilling than the pages of romance or fiction. Mothers, could you look back upon tho long, wet and weary marches of your sons and know how nobly and patiently they s tillered. you would long to take them to your bosoms from which they drew their life-blood. Fathers. how proud would you feel to-day could you have seen your sons in tho hours of danger and on the fields of battle. You would almost shout with joy that they dared to die for a cause so holy and so just. Wives, could you realize what your soldier husband suffered for you, your babes, and our country, you would f uiiy understand that The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring." There can be no nobler ancestor than the man who gave bis life for his country, and there is not a soldier who died for our cause whose name will not be remembered and claimed with pride by his kindred, not only now. but in all future time. The simple epitaph. 'He Died for His Country," is far more eloquent than any which can be truthfully blazoned on the tombs of emperors and kings. Well may our people strew llowers over the graves of our comrades on Decoration day. It is a tribute of love and affection, a recognition of the heroic deeds of the dead. Well may our people erect monuments to perpetuate tho memories of those who pensnea that our Nation might live! These are loving, noble, patriotic offerings to the memories of those brave tnea who gave their lives to protect our Institu tions, preserve the InteizTity of our Nation, and nlant fjbertr and eaualitr on the Kock of Aces: lint there is a more serious and important matter yet to le considered. What are the richts of tbe surviving heres who have -wrought these deeds to preserve and protect our great govern ment. and maintain the free institutions testabll.bed by our lutherst It has leen said oa high authority that at least thirty thousand of those brave men are now languishing in the poornouses of this country! Thirty thousand: A whole army corps m destitution ami want: .an it be possible that we are protecting the nen. v&o belied 8To our national Integrity with tach.

niggardly generosltyt How have their fathers, how have the men who bare fought for and defended our country in other days, been protected and rewarded! Washington demanded that our revolutionary sires should bo pensinned with full pay for life, and all our soldiers who have served our country before 1 8C1 have been allowed pensions for life, and lf0 acres of land as a bounty. Why draw the line back of 1S61, and refuse to allow our comrades tbe same rights guaranteed to their fathers by former acU of Congresst Before 1861 every man who had fought one day in battle, or served In tho army of the United States fourteen days, was entitled to a bounty of 10 acres of public land. Why deny

the same right now to our. soiaiera wdo lougnc for vears in that unholy and most cruel rebel- . . m lionl This question couiu oe answerea Dy an idiot. The rebels who fought us would not be entitled to one acre! Tell me not that we have no lands now, and that our public domain is exhausted. Huch an answer will do for the Ignorant and the thoughtless. To-day the public domain of the United states Is more than thirtysix times as lareeas the whole State of Indiana. and the child Is now living who will see our now arid plains, by force of irrigation, brought into full and successful cultivation. But let the lands be good or bad rocks, mountains or arid plains let us deal fairly by tho loyal men who Lave saved this country from wreck and from ruin. But we are met with the miserly argu ment that this Nation Is not able to pay such an enormous amount to our soiaiers, and that we should wait until a great many more soldiers shall starve ana die! Men who make such arguments know nothing of the wealth and revenue of our country, in laoi, tne commencement or the rebellion, our national revenue was it41.476,299.49; in 1838, $379,206,074.76, being over nine times as great as it was when the war commenced. Ourrevenue on distilled spirits, fermented liquors and tobacco for tho year ending' June 30, 18SU, amounted to nearly one hundred and thirty millions of dollars $129,903,901 an amount that is greater than would be necessary to give one million veterans a rensiou of $3 per month for life, and defray all other expenses of the Tension Department. This is the tax against which the Southern States aro arrayed in Congress in solid phalanx. Do not say that the revenue derived from whisky and tobacco is a uA. upon the people of the United States. .The use of both is vicious, and the revenue is ooUected alone from those who indulge in their use. Admit that their use is either a luxury or a vice, they would be used to the same extent whether a revenue was derived from them or not, and in the last six years this revenue alone has doubled the total expenses of the Pension Department. 1 do not desire to rctiect too uarsniy upon tne great mass of misguided men who so bravely and gallantly fought us In the front. Many were forced into the ranks of the confederate army against their consent. Weshouid only consider the leaders "of the rebellion, who ire still fanning tho embers of a dying fire to keep alive the coals of discord and hatred. We hear from demagogues, florid poets and green orators, many flights of fancy about "the biuo and uie gray," anu -me lost cause.' How a class of the sentimental and romantic seem to glory and exidt over these bombastic themes. They really seem to imagine that their "lost cause is a lost right, for which they aro entitled to command the pity, the tears and sympathy of an en lightened world! such laudations, witu tueir monuments, tend to educate the coming generations of the South in favor of secession, in surrection and treason. Would it not be far better and wiser to call the treason bv its true name. not a "lost cause," but a lost and forgotten and forgiven crime! ould it not be well to blot out and forget the treason which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, instead of erecting statues and monuments to arch-traitors to ierpetuate their defeat and shame! Not like Ham of ancient days should they gaze upon the nakedness of a drunken father, but. like the true and loving sons of Noah, they should walk backward with averted eyes, and, if possible, cover their treason with a mantle of forgctf ulnees. Fatriots should be ever remembered. Let tho misdeeds of the past in kindness and Christian charity be forgiven and forgotten. At tho conclusion of Governor Hovey's address, Judge John M. Van Fleet, in an eloquent and appropriate address, presented tho monument to the city, Mayor Everett Goldthwait accepting tho gift in a few brief but eloquent words. Brief addresses were then made by other notables, the wholo exercises being interspersed with appropri ate music. At the conclusion of tho exercises the people scattered about the city, and the visitors from Indianapolis, after partaking of supper, started homeward, taking with them an excellent impression of Elkhart, and leaving one equally favorable. Taken all together tho day is considered by lar the most auspicious, in point of success. of any that Llkhart ever celebrated. As President Harrison was in Indianapolis on Thursday, it was hoped he would accompany the party from that city to Elkhart to-day, and a strong effort was put forth to induce him to do so, but although no definite refusal was received, it is supposed that it was impossible for him to come, as ho did not accompany tho party. Many came long distances in hopes of seeing him, and were greatly disappointed over his non-appearance; "but all seemed to realize that urgent duties demanded his presence elsewhere, and took tho disapointment good-naturedly, feeling well repaid for their trip by Governor Hovey's eloquent address, tho general exercises and the opportunity to visit such a tine-looking and ,hnstling,, city as Elkhart. THE MONUMENT. Description, of 3Ir. Baldwin's Gift to the Teople of Elkhart An Imposing Structure. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Elkhart, Ind., Aug. 23. The soldiers' monument, which was unveiled hero to-day, is the outgrowth of a movement that has been on foot for years, and which now iinds its culmination in the finest structure of tho kint' ;n northern Indiana. The idea of erecting a lifting memorial to the soldiers of the rebellion was first suggested by the local ine iibersof tho G. A. R., and steps were taken to put the project into execution. When a considerable sum had been raised for the purpose, the late Silas Baldwin a banker and public spirited citizen of vers- advanced years, who had lost a son at Stone River, offered to bear half the expense of tho enterprise, and a little later made a proposition that he would bear it all. His generous oiler was accepted, as it could not well help being, and tho present commanding and artistib monument is tho result. Mr. Baldwin, all through the latter part of his life, had a remarkably warm place in his heart for the soldier boys, and never missed an opportunity to do thera a kindness. The memory of the death of his promising young son was ever with him, and attracted him to those who were so fortunate as to sutlicientlv" escape the fatalities of -war as to return home. His hand was ever outstretched to them, and demands upon his furso did not go unheeded. But ho did not ive to witness tho completion of the monument, the project in which he was so absorbed, as his death occurred a short time before it received tho finishing touches; but though he cannot be present to view the results of his magnanimity there exists toward his memory in this community a feeling of gratitude, especially among the wax

FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION

Conflicting Orders Cause tho Wreck of Two Trains Near Petroleum, W. Va. Two Engineers and One Fireman Killed Ontriffht, and Between Fifteen and Twenty Passengers Thought to Have Been Injured. Barnum fc Bailey's Circus Train Derailed and Many Animals Killed. The Cars Crushed and Twisted Into All Sorts of Shapes Condition of the Victims of Thursday's Accident in Tennessee. FATAL COLLISION ON THE B. & O. Three Tenons Killed and Fifteen or Twenty Others 3Iore or Less Injured. Petroleum, W. Va., Aug. 23. A terrible collision occured about 11 o'clock this morning on tho Baltimore &. Ohio railroad, be tween Petroleum and Silver Run tunnel, about twenty-three miles east of Parkersburg, in which three men were instantly killed and many wounded. The accommodation train coming west, due at Parkersburg at 12 o'clock crashed into a special train occupied by railroad magnates on a tour of inspection. Tho cause of the wreck is said to have been conflicting telegrams. The one received by conductor Flannagan and engineer Layman, of the accommodation, ordered them to pass the special at Petroleum, while the special train, engineered by Captain Cephas Rowland is said to have had telegraphic orders to pass tho accommodation at Silver Run. The result of the tnisinstmctions was to hurl into eternity four men at least, and to wound fifteen or twenty others. The trains came together with a crash at the curve east of Petroleum, and between that point and Silver Run. Both trains were running at a rapid speed, and when they collided with a crash the special train and the engine, tfender and baggage-car of the accommodation went over the cliff in one inconceivable mass. James Layman, engineer of the accommodation, one of tho oldest engineers in the employ of the Baltimore &. Ohio road, was crushed to death. Alex. Bailey, fireman for Layman on the accommodation, was also crushed in the wreck of tho engines. Cephas Rowland, also one of the old engineers of Parkersburg, was caught under the wreck, and had one leg broken, and received internal injuries from which he cannot recover. John Fletcher, fireman on the special, was also killed. Fletcher stuck to his engine, and, with his helpmate, preferred death to desertion of his post, and went over the bank in the wreck. Ho was cut and crushed to death. Tho special car, occupied by tho officials on an inspection tour, was smashed into smithereens. Roadmaster J. A. Hunter was badly injured, together with several others. Georgo Douglass, in the same car, was also badly injured. In the accommodation train were many passengers, all of whom received a terrible shaking up, and fifteen or twenty of whom wero more or less inersburg, and a member of the City Council, was badly injured. Jefferson Kose, bag-gago-master of tho accommodation, was also seriously hurt. A large number of passengers wero more or less injured, but they were hurried off on trains going east or west, and in the confusion following tho disaster it was impossible to get their names. The bodies of Layman. Bailey and Fletcher were brought to Parkersburg on the evening train, where they were encaseTl in coffins and sent to their homes. Layman was sent to his home on Depot street. Rowland was taken to Grafton. When the train bearing the bodies arrived in Parkersburg it was surrounded by thousands of people, many of whom were friends of the dead, while others had friends who they believed to have been on the wrecked trams. As it was impossible to hear from their friends, and as rumors of the accident had grown into colossal dimensions, tbe anxiety increased until the crowd numbered thousands at the depot. The following, is the list of casualties as far as could be obtained. A large number of the injured were removed to their homes, and no record of their names or injuries kept. Killed: JAMES LAYMAN, enjrineer, of Parkersburg. IIALLOCK BAILEY, fireman, of Grafton. W. A. FLETCHER, of Graf ton. Injured Josephus Rowland, engineer, of Grafton, injuries believed to be fatal; Michael Flannacan, conductor, J. A. Hunter, division superintendent of the road; R. J. Malley, destination not known; Jeff erson Ross, bacgairemaster of accommodation. very seriously; Michael Gethan, conductor of special, collar-bono and three ribs broken; K. G. Henlin. superintendent of bridges, in the face and neck: Col. II. T. Douglass, chief engineer, cut on head and face and badly burned. Colored porter of special, thrown through the car door and badly hurt sent to Baltimore; Jbseph Fielding, of St. Louis, badly cut in back and side; Henry Fleming, leg broken; Frank Harris, hurt in back. Tho accident occurred between the two points, a long distance from any town or telegraphic facilities. Even when a tele graph station was found, the evening paper uiunoc succeed in getting a line tnrougn, as the railroad company refused to allow reporters to go to the scene of tho wreck wua xue renei trains. CIRCUS TRAIN WRECKED Thirty-Three Horses and Other Animals Be longing to Barnum & Bailey's Show KlUed. Watektown. N. , Aug. 23. The second train of tho Barnum & Bailey show was wrecked late last night, about two miles and a half east of Potsdam, while en route on tho Rome, Watertown &. Ogdcnsburg road for Gouverneur to Montreal. A broken axle was the cause. Thirty-threo ring horses, including ono of tho four chariot teams, and two camels were killed. Six cars were derailed and two were telescoped. so that everything in them was crushed. There were three trains convoying the show that left Gouverneur last night. The first train, which carried tents and their belongings, passed into Canada safely, but the train conveying all the animals belonging to the 6how met disaster. Tho scene is one of confusion. At either side of the track are distributed the bodies of the dead horses, with here and there a poor beast which had received iniuries that rendered it useless. Tethered to fences at the side of the hichwav are camels, sacred cows, steers and various other animals, whichjwere rescued from tho derailed cars. The cars aro crushed and twisted into all sorts of shapes and piled up on tne iracK in a seemingly nopeiess entanglement. The elephants, which were in the first car that was derailed, and not hurt, have been taken from the car and are swaying their bodies angrily as if dis pleased at tneir nnusuaiiy long connnement. Wrecking crews from Watertown and Oswego are working at the obstructions on the track. Barnnm's partner, J. A. Bailey, is at the scene. He says it is difficult to estimate the loss at present, but it will be in the neighborhood of 40.000. He thinks tho loss of the day's receipts at Montreal will be about Si 8,000, and some of the horses that were killed are valued at thousands of dollars each. Money cannot replace them, as it required two years for training them after the right kind had been secured. Tho trick ponies, which have attracted so much attention, were among the killed. The $7,000 Btallion, which was driven by Mrs. Adam Forepangh. jr.. was also killed. It is said that Mrs. Forepaugh wept bitterly and would not be consoled when she learned of the death of this horse. The

pretty? -white mule, -which, performed remarkablo tricks, is also among tho lost. Seven of the eight chariot horses are dead. There are about eighty head of live stock stabled and pastured near tho scene of tho wreck. These were taken from the derailed cars. Eleven men were taken out of ono of tho cars through the roof, there being no other way of egress. Tho night was very dark, and this raado tho work of rescue much more difficult. Bonfires were built at a safe distance from the wreck, and these shed some light over tho ghastly scene. Tho Arabs were much terrified, but when they found that none of their party wero injured they worked bravely in rescuing; others. Stock cars have been brought here to convey the animals to Montreal, aud all the details havo been arranged for transporting; the remainder of the show as soon as the track is cleared. The total number of horses killed is now reported as thirty-three, and. two or three others are expected to die. Somo were killed to relievo their suflerings. THE TENNESSEE ACCIDENT.

Business. Suspended at Knoxville Condition of the Injured Coroner's Inquest. Knoxville. Tenn., Aug. 23. Great crowds were gathered around tho railway station last evening when tho relief train arrived with tho victims of the wreck of tho ex cursion train on the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap & Louisvillo railroad, at Flat Gap creek, yesterday. The excitement was intense. Over a hundred carriages were in waiting, and tho streets leading from the station were thronged. The scene an the wounded and dead wero carried from, the cars and placed on stretchers was a ghastly one. There was a great dearth of doctors, and many of the injured had to wait several hours for attendanc. It is feared that this fact, together with tho drenching rain. will render the after cnects very serious. It is now known that attorney Charles Seymour and Edward Parker win lose their legs. There is little chance for the recovery of Alderman Barry. In the wreck he was thrown against a window and his abdomen filled with powdered glass. With this exception it is believed that all tho ot hers will recover, unless tho exposure brines on complications. To-day all the city organizations met to rrepare for publio obsequies over Judge Ueorgo Andrews and Alexanaer Reeuer, who were instantly killed. The body of S. T. Powers, formerly president of the East Tennessee Fire Insurance Company, will bo taken to Kentucky for burial.

Cumberland Gap Louis ville railroad, were in the forward car, and escaped injury. Two years ago, Knoxville subscribed 225,000 toward tne construction of the road and the contract period expires to-day. It was to show the city authorities that the road was completed that the excursion yesterday was given. 1 he coroners inquest to-day returned a verdict completely exonerating the road from all responsibility lor tho accident. The cause of the accident remains unknown, as exDerts are unable to exDlam it. Ihe road-bed was examined and found to be in perfect condition. The wheels wero tested before the train started and the cars were iust out of the shop. A small stone found between the plank crossing and the rail may have lifted a llango from the track, but this is considered improbable. Knox ville has a lover of unrest to-day and busi ness, except at the newspaper offices, is practically suspended. Chairman Young cannot live through the nicht. Alderman Hockincs is having hemorrhages from the lungs, and is consid ered fatally hurt. Alderman Barry has symptoms of peritonitis.

When Judge Lewis origin ally asked Sheriff Howard to arrest Wil son Howard, that officer replied he would not arrest his cousin unless assured that ho would be allowed bail.
