Thousands of Soldiers Buried in Cemeteries Around Washington. BIVOUAOCS OF THE DEAD. The National Cemeteries—The Great Army at Arlington—The Soldiers’ Home and Battle Cemeteries—Alexandria National Cemetery. HE REBELLION, with all ts horrors, brought to light many ‘an ennobling idea, for many a cherished insti- tution, Memorial day and the national ceme- teries now rank among the institutions and customs of the land that are most honored, The higher the civi- lization of nation the .. greater is tho respect paid to the memory of its illustrious dead, No nation has cared for tho remains of its dead herocs or honored their memory like the United States. The establishment of a system of national cemeteries whereby the remains of those who lost their lives in defense of the flag was entirely a uew conception in govern- mental ethics, There are in the country, all told, seventy- nine national cemeteries, in which repose the remains of some 320,000 soldiers of tho lato war. These cemeteries are chicfly located in the southern states, in tho vicinities of great battlefields, but a few of them are in the north. Four of thea (Alexandria and Arlington, Va., and Battle and Soldiers’ Home, D. C.) are in the suburbs of Washington, Ono of these (Arlington) is the larzest and most renowned of them all. There is also one at Laurel, Md., eighteen miles east of the city, on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. A stroll through these silent cities of fallen brave cannot but be interesting to their surviv- ing comrades, and many of our honored guests will want to take it, ‘Tuz Sram will conduct them thither. The visitor in his rounds may, perchance, espy upon’ some stone the name of a dear one long mourned as lost, Not long since a gentleman in strolling through the Alexandria cemetery discovered the grave of a brother who was killed at Second Bull Run, and whose whereabouts was unknown to his family. His remains wore soou after exhumed and con- veyed to the family tomb in a distant state, TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN, ARLINGTON. A few years ago asad but impressive scene was witnessed in the old partof Arlington cemetery. Au east Tennessee mother wasseon weeping over the graves of her two boys, who were driven from home early in 1861, going north as refugees, They enlisted in a wostern regiment and both were severely wounded at Chantilly, Va, in 1862, while fighting with Phil. Kearny. They were brought to Armory Square Hospital in this city, where they subse- quently died. The mother had never heard from them since they left home, and it is no wonder that she broke down upon secing their graves. Such scenes are of no uncommon occurrence in the national cemeterics, ALEXANDLIA NATIONAL CEMETERY, This cemetery is most pleasantly situated on Hunting creek, at the west end of Wilkes street, It can bereached either by way of King and Alfred, King and Patrick or King and Paine streets, There are four acres in the cemetery, which contains the remains of 3,560 Union soldiers, gathered from the hospitals and battlefields of the vicinity, 120 of whom are unknown, The interior is quite attractive, many fine trees and shrubs adding their graceful pres- ence to the honored spot. No soldiers of any great eminence ure buried here, but at the western edge of the grounds are a couple of plain stones that mark the grav characters whose worthless liv: ally. About the center of the cemetery, standing upon an elevated plateau, is the “firemen’s monument,” which was erected after the war to the memory of four citizen firemen of Alex- andria, who lost their lives in « collisionon the Potomac while in pursuit of the assassin Booth, April 24. 1865, Their names are Peter Carroll, Samuel N. Gosnell, George W. Huntington and Christopher Farley. Adjoining this monument on the north isa neat fountain, encircled by ornamental ever- greens and boxwood. In the southwest corner is the stand uzed by the orators, and musicians during Memorial day services. Capt J. V. Davis, late of the seventy-sixth cas, SOE oe FayEses Or “ | see-colm.

This fort was known as Fort Whipple during the war, and was regarded by military men as one of the strongest positions within the for- midale defensive works which encircled Wash- ington. Atthe close of the war it was con- verted into a camp of instruction for officers and men of the signal service of tho army. and placed under command of Gen, Albert Myer, whose fame it assumed.

Tats impressive, dome-capped structure, which stands directly south of the mansion, is the confiscation law, pessession being taken in 1864. ‘The government in 1834 paid $150,000 for the property, the Supreme Court of the United States having decided tbat the fee simple was Lee heirs. Thus the government has acquired a perfect title to the property. ‘he graves are principally occupied by the remains of soldiers. who were gathered from the various battlefields between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, but many officers and soldiers dying sinco the close of the war are also buried here at their own request. Among the latter aro Gens, P. H.

It is capable of ac- commodating 5.000 persons, Just east of here is a granite sarcoph: surmounted by cannons and balls, which, in 1836, was erected over the remains of 2,111 un- known soldiers, gathered after hostilities from Bull Run aud other battlefields.

THE SHERIDAN MONUMENT. This modest structure, erected by a loving wife to the memory of a good husband and as brave a man as ever drew a sword, stands in front of the southeast corner of the mansion. It is said to have been designed by Mrs. Sheridan, GEN. BAXTER. A little south of Sheridan repose the re- mains of Gen. Jedediah H. Baxter, late surgeon general of the army. They are marked by a neat granite stone. ADMIRAL PORTER. The gravo of this distinguished officer is in front of the north end of the mansion, directly north of Sheridan.

It has » pompous propyton of enor- mous stuccoed columns, Any house smaller than Blenheim would trail on insignificantly after such a frontispiece. The interior has a certain careless, romantic, decayed-gentleman effect, wholly Virginian. It was enlivened by the uniforms of staff officers just now, and as they rode through the trees of the approach and by the tents of the New York eighth, en- camped in the grove to the rear, the tableau was brilliantly warlike.” SOME XOTED GRAVES. East of the mansion aro the graves of Mr. and Mrs, George Washington Parke Custis, whilo immediately in front are the graves of Gens. Sheridan and Baxter and Admiral Porter. At the north end of the cemetery are buried the remains of white and colored soldiers dying im hospital in the vicinity, as well as civilian camp followers and contrabands. This is the oldest part of the cemetery. THE Gates. 3 We really entered the cemetery from the rear, for the main entrances are on the east side, on the Alexandria turnpike. These en- trances are three in number and are known as the. “Ord-Weitzel,” “Sheridan,” and “MoClel Jan” gates. The Ord-Weitzel gate is the northernmost of Massachusetts men, Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island being represented by one each. Near the front of the grounds (which con- tain one acre of land) is «neat monument erected about s year ago by the survivors of the ninoty-eighth Pennsylvania to the memory of their comrades who wore killed in the battle of Fort Stevens. While the cost of the monu- ment itself was comparatively trifling, prob- ably not exceeding 8400, the expenses attend ing its dedication amounted to not loss than $10,000. ‘The twenty-five members of the regi- ment present on the occasion, with their parts of the Union, the far-off Pacific a from all some om from coming ing west is most pleasantly situated.
