THE MONUMENTS
OF RICHMOND
There are Many in and Around the
Capital City.
THE SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS'.

The Jackson Monument the
Gilt of Enslishnicn.
"?Richmond is a city of monuments. The |
capital of the Old Dominion, whose ?
kindly ?oil has been so prolific of great ,
?en. It is here that a ' grateful people i
have fittingly chosen to erect memorials j
In bronze and marble as a testimony that j
their deeds will live as long as the re?
membrance of brave deeds wakes a re- j
?sponsive echo in Jhc minds of kindred ?
?spirits even unto the end of time.
in <julet Oakwood. where the silence of
t*e dead is broken only by the soft whis?
pering of the wind among the irec-tops,
there sleep sixteen thousand Confederate
soldiers who "with a devotion as true as
ever burned in the heart of monk or
hermit and a chivalry as hifili as that
of Arthur or any. knight of-1 his table
round, bared their breast to lhe steel of
a relentless invader and poured nut their
life-blood a holy sacrifice upon the altar
of their country's love.
A MASSIVE SHAFT.
Kind hands and loving hearts have
bullded a massive granite shaft to com?
memorate the sacrifice, but when the
adamantine rocks shall have crumbled
into dust and the ripening grain shall
wave where these heroes now sleep, the
loye they bore the cause of right and
the weighty deeds they wrought in its
defence never faltering for an instant
though half clad and half famished, will
etili be told in song and story and cause
? thrill to run through the veins of gen
Great Commoner with one Hand extend- 1
cd in a characteristic attitude.? as he
used to pour forth his burning periods
In the United States Senate chamber.
A PEERLESS STATUE.
"Within the walls of the old Capitol
Itself stands Houdon's Washington,
while around the walls are busts of La?
fayette, Fita Lee, John Marshall and
Jcb Stuart,
Further w<?st, in Monroe Park, ? on a
pedestal of granite, Is a statue of Gen?
eral Williams C. Wickham, v.lilch was
erected by employes of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Hallway Company, of vbich
General Wickham was for years, the
president. It is In this park that tho
site lias been chosen for the erection of
a monument to Jefferson * Davis, tho
President ' of the Confederate States.
The Daughters Of the Confederacy have
taken upon themselves the task of
erecting this monument, which insures
tho success of the undertaking.
HOWITZERS' MONUMENT.
The Howitzer monument, at Howitzer
Place, consists of a granite base sur?
mounted by a figure in bronze of a
young artilleryman. The soldier, who is
Ko. 1 at the piece, stands In a graceful
polso with the rammer In his hand. In
the western end of the city there looms
up against the darkening sky the ma?
jestic statue of Robert E. Lcc. Words
are paltry and language weak in the
presence of this sublime statue of the
noblest man that ever lived in the tide
of time. Calm and resolute, he sits
his horse with the grace of a cavalier,
crowned with tho love of a people,
whose army he led with an almost god?
like wisdom and an indomitable fortl
tuflc for four long years ; gainst all the
unnumbered hosts of the enemy.
A. P. HILL.
North of the city, where ihe red tide
of battle ebbed and flowed, stands upon
a base of unperishable granite the
bronze statue of General Ambrose Powell
Mill.
He is another of the countless sons of
Ihe Southland who. without counting
the cost and with no hope of reward,
gave their lives for the cause of truth
and liberty, and "greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends.'* General Hill's name
was the last upon the lips of both Lee
and Jackson. AVhen, with their near ap?
proach of death they were in their delir?
ium again lighting those momentous bat?
tles, in which their best energies ha'd
been spent, both of the great ? leaders

were such men as these.
For freedom's battle, once begun
Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft, is ever won.
SOLDIERS' ??'? SAILORS' MEMO?
RIAL.
The first rays of the rising sun when
lia begins to gild lower, spire and
steeple fall upon a graceful column on
Ltbby Hill, and cast a halo of ?lory upon
the brow of the bronze figure upon
Its summit. This is the Soldiers* and
Sailors' moiiu-aent. It towers toward the
?ky an eternal memorial to Southern
manhood, composed of a massive stone
to represent each State in tiie Confed?
eracy, and a colossal figure of an in
tfantr>-mun at rest but always on the
?alert.
Under the shadow of the grand olfl
Capitol there stands a monument alike ?
io the transcendental genius of Jackson |
and to the generosity of Englishmen.
The inscription tells the whole story j
simply and concisely: '"Presented by Eng- j
llsh gentlemen as a tribute of admira-"|
lion for the soldier and patriot Thomas ?
J. Jackson, and gratefully accepted by
Virginia in the name of the Southern
people. Donc A. D. 1B?5." Look! There
elands Jackson like a Mono wall.
CRAWFORD'S HANDIWORK.
A short way from the Jackson monu
' ment rises in majestic proportions the
?Crawford equestrian monument of
"Washington, while around its base stand
the -statues of six other Virelnians
whose names are writ high in the book
of fame.
Patrick Henry, the first Governor of
Hie old Commonwealth wK? outstretch?
ed arms invoking the spirit of freedom
and the God of Battles; Thonias Jeffer?
son, the gTeat disciple of religious free?
dom, author of the Declaration of Inde?
pendence, and founder of the University
of A'irginia; George Mason, penner of
the Virginia Bill of Rights: John Mar?
shall, the great jurist and first chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
?Court; Thomas Nelson, ptutesman, and
Lewis, the pioneer, in hunting shirt and
moccasins.
Under a pavilion In the Capitol Square
there is an excellent life-siae statue in
? marble of the man who preferred being
ri^ht to being president, a sentiment
now fallen sadly out of fashion. The
?tat?* ?u moulded by Mr. Hart, a son
JaV-tafC At Mr. Cla-fk ?ad repra-nnu th?
issued orders to General Hill, for in
their lives he had never failed to obey
them.
THE DASHING CAVALIER.
At Yellow Tavern, where the gallant,
dashing, glorious cavalier Stuart fell,
there, stands a simple shaft where one
of the purest lives was brought to a
close. There Is a move on foot to erect
.1 fitting equestrian monument to the
Flower of the Cluvaliers, and there Is
not among all those who fought, bled
and diikl for-the Confcdeiacy one who
more deserves a fitting memorial. There
is also a shaft over the grave of General
Stuart in Hollywood cemetery.
Gt-neral Gftorgc E. Pickett, whose div?

of Getty.sbig Mes in Hollywood and
over his grave fiir.e of the survivors of
