In pursuance of this re- solve the following appeal has been Missour: made to the people ot by the association: St. Louis, Mo., When the late April 25, 188 War Ci 21 soldiers ip remains ot the Contederate killed in battle, or who had died hospitals in Missouri, were scattered throughout the State, especially the State. were Southwest Missouri. which was of The soldier-dead of the Union es at Jefferson | Barracks, Jetterson City and Spring- | chief the battle-ground | gathered in cemete held, each of which cemeteries have been carefully kept and beautified | bythe Federal Government in a manner worthy ef the cause for which these heroes died. The Con- tederate dead haye had no such pro- tector to guard and protect their re- | mains, and for years their bones rest- ed in widely spread and uncared for graves. In 1859, however, the good people of Sprinfield. by humane as well as patriotic motives, took steps to reinter the bones of the scattered dead of the fields of Wil- son’s Creek, Springfield. Carthage. | Dug Spring and the | ishes in the Southwest. | i if | } | prompted various skirm- By voluntary contnbutions from | friends and tormer toes, a cemetery | was secured near Springfield, ad- | joining the National Cemetery, in which their remains have been terred and have since been cared tor by a local organization. Thesedead belong to Missouri. Their courage and devotion to their conviction of duty hallow their memories and cause them to be revered by men of all shades ef political opinion. rein- Every consideration of humanity admonishes that they be taken care of by the people of the entire State, ; and more especially by their surviv- ingjcomrades and their friends. In the cemetery there are now 501 graves. Most of them are of unidentified men, but all are known to have been soldiers, chiefly from Missouri, Ar- kansas Lomsiana and Texas, who were under Price, McCullough and other contederate chieftains. Ameng those who are known are numbered the graves of Col. Benj. Brown, anes John M. Foster, Lieut. Col. R. H. Weightman, Lieut. Col, Austin, Col. J. L. Neal, Lieut. Seth John- son, H, C. Dawson, Monroe Layten | Capt. Haze Farns, William Hughes John Newton, ot Morehouse Parish, La, and W. J. Gngson. The re- mains of Col. John S. Bowen lie in an uncared-for grave in ga field in Mississippi. His comrades hope te see them marked and honored in tais cemetery as they do those ot other heroes whuse bones are now lyingin neglected spots. The cemetery at Springfield consists of three and a halt acres, beautfully | situated, and easily susceptible of | high improvement. It is enclosed by a wooden paling fence, which is already going to decay; the graves ! are each marked bya headboard of cedar wood, painted white and num- hered with reference to the register, whicn states all that is known of the ;remains. A few trees have been planted and are growing: blue-grass has this year been sown. The local society having done all in its power, and the idea being very properly ta- ken that the cemetery should be the i care of all ex-Confederate soldiers in Missour,’’ at its annual meeting last year, and by that society adopted as tae Confederate cemetery of the State—there 1s no other. A meeting of the Council of the Association (its Executive Commit- tee) was keld at Springfield, Mon- day, April 23, when the cemetery was inspected, and the President twas instructed to prepare this ad- Ttis necessary by dress. deemed metoa close ; inj | ment aid. , annual care and ne rep. The sum asked seems to be the le with which the purpose can be prop- erly accomplished. The National Cemetery, but a few feet away, has cos! : beside maiaten- ance, simply for per anent improve- ments, over $65,000. It contain as many grave does not > as will ours, With twen- Confederate | cemetery can be impn autified that the Contede dier or his descendants, in plating it if we do our duty ty thousand dollars ed and } e sol- so contem- will need blush when he steps a tew feet north to lock upon the monuments wi hereafter, ich We can only rely upon the generous patriotism ot the liber- ality of all men who revere bravery .and conscientious devotion to princi- ple even though they may not ap- prove the cause for which the soldier yielded up his hfe. Especially do we call upen our own comrades and solemnly assure them that could they view this hallowed ground, as we have done. they would each feel it a bounden and an imperative duty to do fer this cause his part. Coald each one be approaehed the required sum would quickly and certainly be raised. The difficulty lies ia secur- ing for the purpese the necessary or- ganization. tis the object of thi address to set torth the facts, to urge particularly upon the Vice-Presi- dents of the association in the vari- ous districts, aspeedy and compre- hensive organization in Confederates especially, and of others who may feel disposed to aid us, a prompt and generous respense. With active ex- ertion the $20,000 should be secured during the next two months, and be- fore the meeting ot the association at Jefferson City, August 28 and 29. Some of the ex-Confederates not be- ing able to assist :in any considerable sum, and some of them being inces- sible to this briet call, it will be seen that those who can do so must con- tribute as hberally appeai to our hearts. Let us see thatit does not fail ofsuccess. Very respecttully, John S. Marmaduke, Prest. ex-Confederate Ass’n of Mo. Cass ceunty, Missouri, boasts a post-ofhce named ‘‘Peculiar and kow it came toacquire the designation has otten been speculated over but nev- er satisfactorily explained until day before yesterday, when a gentleman, working to get a new post-office es- tablished, called at the St. Louis of- fice to look over the names already in use, so as to avoid them in ing his town. He came across Pe- culiar in the list and mentioned the fact that his tather, in the early days, was a minister in Cass county. A town grew up which needed a_ post- office, and he wrete to Washington to have one established. de- partment’s reply told him to suggest a name which would please the peo- ple. He wrote back that the people were nec particular so long as the name of their post-office was pecliar. The sentence was taken in its literal sense, and the post-office was chris- tened **Peculiar’’ torthw ith. The conversation recalled to Mr. J. B. Harlew, superintendent of the mals, ene of the curiosities of a mis- directed letter. Some years ago a letter was referred te him, directed to *‘Ecentric, Mo.’’ Every one else in the office had tried its destination, and failed, as there was no such post-office in the United States and nothing approaching it. Mr. Harlow felt that his reputation was at stake, and, knitting his brews, he gazed at the directien of the let- ter, while everyone stood sround waiting for him to give it up. Fin- aliy, he was about to abandon the effort in disgust and looked up re- peating **Eccentric—eccentric—now that’s peculiar, isn’t it?’ There was a chorus ot *‘Of course it is,’ and his stock as ariddle-solver went up 300 per cent, while every- one else was ashamed of being so stupid as not to connect eccentric and peculiar by the association of ideas. nam- whe to guess {the Council that at least $20,000] 's letter to the postmaster at Pecul- jshall be raised in order that the j jar showed that the man addressed | grounds shall he; rst. permanently | lived there, and the letter was tor- 1 head-stones fenced: 2d, have sm: b> « j for each grave; 3d, be adorned with ja snitahle monument. | tive of the virtues of the tallen braves commemora- | } 4gth, be provided with a small sum fer * warded.
