Tho resolution Is as fol lows: Resolved. That u.i a regiment which was In tho thickest of tro fight nt Get tysburg wo learn with great ptea-sure that ono of the suggestions of the com mission on a memorial to Abraham Lin-1 coin for tho national capital ! the con struction of a broad park-way from Wnshlngton to Gettysburg, with separ ate roods for carriages, automobiles and electric cars and with sections of the Burden especially devoted to each Stnte. ami we think that this would 1 more distinctive and appropriate than' a tall -shaft, a stntuo or a memorial building rould be, that It would bo unique among the world's patriotic memorials of great men and great events, that Its expense Would not equal the money of three days ef the war, and thnt the value of Its teaching -would be Inestlmablo through tut all time. DR. CHANDALT.'S ADDRESS. Dr. John R. Crandall of Sterling, 111,. pave an address In a reminiscent vein fleallng largely with tho battle of Oottvs burg. Dr. Crandall Is the only surviving member of tho original staff of the 13th Vermont volunteers, who wns present on tho battlefield of Gettysburg, 4.1 years ngo. He was assistant surgeon. He ppoke as follows: To tho 13th Vermont Regimental as sociation, comrades, companions nnd to the loyal descendants of the 13th Ver mont Regimental association: Wo meet again upon the loyal poll of lho old Green Mountain State at your pleasant village of Essex Junction, aftur I lapse of 45 years, to refresh our tnemrrles of the past. Yes, hern Upon the loyal soil of Ver mont we meet to recall the deeds of valor and heroism you showed In leaving your comfortable homes, and tho changes Incident to a soldier's life In the Hold Df tho dlsioynl State of Virginia, tho hot lied of southern chivalry nt the time. How that you put up with the hard ships of wading through Virginia mud, rtrlckcn with fevers from oxiosuro and camp diet, you never complained of the changes from a soft bed at homo to the wet cold ground, ns you know patriotism wns the part you were called upon to perform In old Virginia, so tint when you were called upon to repress rebel Invasion In the loyal State of Pennsylvania nt tho great battle of Uottjttburg, you showed your mettle. Yes; there upon the soil of the loyal Stato of Pennsylvania you plnyed your part well to render the field historic, which has been visited by thousands from all nations. And when we recall tho eulogies of the dend wo know that tho part played in the dramatic scenes of those stirring times by the 13th Ver mont Volunteers will never bo for- Kottrn, Mark Antony's oration over tho dead body of Julius Censar, hundreds of ars ngo, commemorntod one of the brightest realities of Itomnn history. And because of tho fitness and propriety of these commemorative addresses do they appeal to men of all nges recalling deeds valor nnd of heroism, Wo with the memorial address delivered Upon the grounds nt Gettysburg by our martyred President years ngo. It will treasured for centuries by coming generations, loyal to a republican form or government, and it will contlnuo to read In many a tongue over tho Ivlllretl globe, and loved for Its simplic ity and truthfulness. Comrades, It would be presumptous Indeed for me to wish to entertain vou Ith orntory nt this time and upon this subject, following tho master minds thnt have preceded me. No It Is not oratory that Is sought to be at tained; tint language, earrvlnr us hark to the time of long ngo. to the time hen the nnnles of Mend and Ioo were clutching at each other's throats. nd hern let me say with ail dun modesty that your regiment, the old 13th Vermont, held tho post of honor In General Stnnnard's Vermont Ilrig nde. And with such lenders ns Colonel V. Rnndnll, Munson, lloynton, and Adjutant-General Peck, mndo history for you 4.1 years ago to-dny. And when it comes to counting up the ntimber of onicors and soldiers killed nnd wounded In that terrible conflict none ran morn fully realls-.n the awful cost of preserving the Union than the remnant of the 13th Ver mont iVolunteerH. The great Civil War cost the llfo- blood of tens of thousands of comrades from every loynl .-intc In tho Union nnd Vermont furnished her share for the sacrifice. Yes; we have other Vermont troops that huve left as proud a record. The 1st Vermont Regiment wns the first of the .Vermont troops to start the fight ing nt Hlg Ilethel. This was a three months regiment. And next we see the 1st Vermont Hrlgndo nt the Rattle of the First Hull Hun, and afterwards with McClollan on the Peninsular campaign, fighting their way from Fortress Monroe to Yorktown via Whllo House Landing, nnd then through I.eo'.i Mills, iVllllamsburg and eoven-pines, tin 1 1 1 tney wcro In camp upon the south side of the Chlcknhom Iny, within sight of tne rcbol capital. And we then see them covering the. re trent to Harrison's Landing on the James river. General Lee's first move from Rich mond was to throw out his main force to a place called Meadow's Bridge and by so doing he abandoned the high ground and mnrched the bulk of his army on to the meadows. His purpose wns to turn tho right wing of Mc Clellan's urmy, which wns held by Fltt John Porter's corps. It wns then thnt wo received our orders to rctrent to tho James river. Tho adjutant of the regiment In which 1 ws at thnt time serving, the 6th Vermont Voluntoers, rnlscd his voice in a protest asking as to the whereabouts of McClellan and exclaim ing that there la hero a lost oppor tunity. He paw that wo should have cut I.ee's army In two, and plant cur artillery on the heights, and make a dash for Rich mond, nnd then change our base of oper ations to the JameM River; anil that by so doing victory would be ours. At the close of the war, General Ing street, in his report of the peven days' fight, charged that (Jenernl Ix-e mide a mistake in abandoning the ndvant.ige of the heights but that very fortunate ly for them, tho Union general did not see It. The young ofllccr who pointed out this strategic opportunity ran my older brother, who ww killed by a rebel sharp shooter at Cold Harbor. Va., In June, 1RS4, Major Richard II. Crandall of the 6th Vt. Vols. His last word- were- "Now colonel, that I cannot be with you never let the rebels drive my regiment."

THE Sl'I.F APPOINTED COMMITTEE. "The self appointed comtnlttco of three": Cols. Allen and Clark und Urn, Marsh, always have something dolns and they made this rounlon no exception. Each of tho veterans present recolved from the committee an elegant pearl handled pocket knife nnd so far as It was konwn who would be present, the names of the recipients and the words "1.1th Vermont" were Inscribed on handles. The knives were dono up in neat little boxes bearing on tho outside a graceful poem from the pen of Henry P. Hutlcr, a member of Iifayette Post, New York, and an honorary iuemler of the 13th Ver mont r.HToclntkm. Tho joem Is as fol lows: Down from the mountain homes they came.
