Beneath these elear and tmiet skies.
Which bend ovr us like tho hollow of Thy
protecting hand, we gather in this conse?
crated DUOS, where so manv dear to us
have been laid to rest to be reminded
afresh of our obligations to those who at

to God and their memories to us who sur?

We would be faithful to the sacred trust !
We would perpetuate the story of their
patriotic valor, their devotion to hon<ir,
truth, and freedom, not only by the flowers
we scatter on their graves?prophetic of
the resumption of the just and of the
land where eternal summer reigns?but by
the flowers of loviug remembrance that
grow iu our hearts, and which, watered
by our tears, will bloom iu beauty and

We invoke Thy blessing noon the asso

our sons and brothers are intrusted, and
whose tender office it is to guard and to
adon the placo where tho dust of our be?
loved dead has found repose.
May thy honored servants who come to
speak to-day inspire us with new adniira
t on for the virtue and tho valor, for the

To the BHfcwo/As l>m^
My attention has been called to the '.
Richmond letter in the New fork If
Krprtu of Thursday, stay M, 18M, and in
which among other thingeit Is said that
" I enthusiastically endorse tii" eoursaof
thai paper.'' referring, as is understood, to
what it bias recently published m reference
to the ceremony incident to the nnvsiting
of 1 he Lee monument.
1 his UBTUS - i ths paper is the first that I
have seen, and i haven't the least idea
what, ha-i been published <t what the
conns of ths p mar has been further than
is indicated bj the is-ue m wttwh teferaooo
is made to 'in .
I bave bad no interview with the corre?
spondent Of the KSI? .l;.<i/?'/..r? SS, and never
saw him until late Thursday evening after
tii.-publication of this letter, and then
only for a moment, and xcuaed myaalfia
ordei to accompany aomi ladj Mandato a
train, promising t<? aee him lah r. but
never saw bun afterwards.
It is scarcely n.saary forma to say, in
conclusion, that for wann affection for the
memory of I- ; ? it I . 1.1 stand second
to im one. Yours truly,
