AN ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR LOWNDES Talks by Well-Known Newspaper ~_ Men and Others. LITERARY EXERCISES Correspondence of The Evening Star. GAPLAND, Md., October 16, 1896. It would have been impcssible had the day been mede to order to arrange better weather for the dedication exercises of the correspondents’ monument at this place! which took place yesterday, as reported in The Star. A large number of invited guests enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. George Alfred Townsend, and spent a de- lightful day rambling around the handsume grounds and enjoying the magnificent views to be seen in every direction. Among the guests were Gov. Lowndes, Gen. Wilmer, Mr. Edward W. Mealey of Hagerstown, Mr. Nathaniel Page, Mr. James E. Taylor, Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, Miss Noyes, Gen. Carmen, Gen. H. V. Boynton, Mr. Charles H. Boynton, Gen. Fulerton, Mr. and Mrs. W: B. Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Hay, Mr. Ed. Garrett, Mr. and Mrs. Tom C. Noyes, Mrs. Groynes, Mrs. Paul Jones, Mrs. D. M. Whipp, Miss Henriette Bonaventure, Miss Hay and Miss Collins of Hagerstown, Mr. M. W. Burchell, Miss Tillie Montgomery Adams, Mrs. A.'S. Carmen, Miss Pomeroy McUrney, Miss Maught, Capt. and Mi McElroy, Mr. John L. Smithmeyer, who d signed the memorial, and many others. Lunch and ainner were served the gues and, after listening to the ceremonies, viewing the monument from all sides, and passing altogether a day long to be remem- fered, nearly all left on a special train at The-exercises at the dedication were of a generally informal character. Gov. Lowndes miade the opening address, as follo Speech of Gov. Lowndes, follow Vv wounded, and Brown and hi were tried, convicted and execut ginia was aroused and the country was in the greatest state of excitement. This act was the opening scene of a panorama of death and devotion the lke of which we pray may never happen again. x “We have met this day to dedicate this 1 to the army cor- monument 4s a memor' Lot of 65 dozen Ladies’ Swiss Ribbed abrige dt re tapenade aad “polish” : ; respondents, who were a band of men equa ae aig en tin) solid (oak siren Wool Pants—secured at a price that will ey Sa Sy aE SES pike, $5. eee lemaehts ih) otec shew or side of the rebellion.

If the general in command of an army must be able to plan and ¢ cute with rapidity of ightning, the suc ful war correspondent must be ay grasp the situation and to divine the p pose of those directing the movements of the military. “The men who sent forward the news cf the army and the particulars of ry event as it tr: ed were of heroic mol and their influence was felt in the field an i im the cabinet. They illustrated the truth of the saying that ‘In the hands of men than sword.” Their lives were not t of They moved with the first line of and were expected to keep in- formed as to the situauon in the rear. To supremely great, the pen is might the they must have had the elements of age, industry, knowledge and the power of vivid Geseription. Justice has never be fully accordes to that class of devoted men who risked their lives and health that the truth might be written and the story of the army correctly told. In their honor, and to perpetuate their deeds, this magnifi- cent monument has been erected in this historic gap. May it ever stand as a me- morial to their glory. “Among the names which will go down to posterity along with the history of thai eventful period of our national life and the great struggle for its preservation none have achieved a more brilliant and lasting reputation as a ‘reliable correspondent,’ al- ways ‘on the spot,” than that of the re- nowned ‘Gath,’ and it is, therefore, pecu- liarly appropriate and fitting that to the happy conception of George Alfred Town- send we ate indebted for this beautiful memoriai and to his executive ability for the masterly execution of his plan.” Mr. Townsend's Address, Mr. Townsend afterward delivered his address, much of which was printed in yes- terday’s Star, after which he called on a number of those present for a Tew in- formal remarks. In the course of his remarks Mr. Town- send said: “Why should a monument be built to re- porters and sketchers in the great war, and why built here? “Because at Washington city they only build monuments to soldiers, and we feared that posterity would think that art and let- ters did not belong to this age. It was built here because nobody else thought of it, and it would never have been built if not here. That one of the battlefields had been occu- pied by ore of the correspondents went a long way toward realizing the third asso- ciation of an altar to a youthful and ener- getic fraternity. “The newspaper press as well as the d crepit state of literature, require som heroic jostling, and the supervision of gov- ernment and press neutrality in the face of war has been the period of the greatest responsibility and enterprise In American authorship. “That endowment of a college professor- ship of journalism will only be in the next war. We shall have war whether we ought to or not. War is the periodical adjust- ment of business and Utopian balances, the assize when sturdy rogues are hanged or put away. “An awakening of the intellect, the aris and arms, has followed our last conflict. Gettysburg has become a soldier's West- minster Abbey. This memorial is the poet’s corner, where gentle Will and rare Ben and Boz and Macauly lie. “In the busy task of hastening this monu- ment ere evil times call on success to re- port another war, I have had no chance to think of the human exisiences on which yonder rude monument throws the shadow of the Jacet. Now that the memorial is done, memory returns to our little corps, every man a partisan ranger in the morn of his life. “Some have died in the hospital; some have been conquered by evil habits like to Alexander and Tiberius Caesar; some wrote on until the mercenary, perfunctory days as when Samson showed his strength to wo- men while grinding for the Philistines; others have exchanged romance for trade: a few have built greater things than this monument and scen them fall to ruins: some have carzvied adventure to lengths beyond Cortez, La Salle and measured un- known seas. “We are all hastening on after those who are happily dissolved into one beautiful earth. The arch and gate we see are the opening and close of the vision. Our hope is that it will last as long after the last of us is ended as would measure back the stride of letters to Chaucer and to Boccac- cio. “This tender autumnal day has the haze of our fading sight upon the memory of the mighty war. Our monument, however, flies its flag this day to tell the land that we do not expect our pens to be long out of commission: The temple of Janus was never closed but in perfect peace. These arches will be forever open to show that letters will always respond to the call of civilization.” Other Talks. Mr. Edward W. Mealey of the Hagers- town Bank said that his institutien had taken charge of the money raised fer the monument, but he wished to say that Mr. Townsend had procured it all himself, and further, that it had all been spent and counted for. Mr. James E. Taylor, th well-known war artist, made a short Speech, and Mr. Townsend introduced Mr. Nathaniel Page and Mr. Crosby S. N 4#s men who had greatly aided in ere-ting the monument, and who were also bright lights in the ga'axy of war correspondenis. Capt. McElroy of the National Tribune told something of the great battles chat. had been fought in the immediate neighbor- hood of the gap. He said that it was ro disparagement to the other correspondents who had so vividly portrayed the scenes of the war, to say that he believed, and had believed for thirty years, that Mr. George Alfred Townsend was the prince of them all, and that his letters, under the signa- ture of “Gath,” sent from the armies dur- ing the great struggle, had done more to Inform the people of the country of how the great struggle progressed than any- thing else. He recalled Lincoln's remark after cne of the battles, when the great President had said that’ we would never know what had really taken place until “Gath’s” account of the battle was printed. He paid a hign tribute to the courage of the army correspondents, who had almost invariably stayed in advance of the army and had placed themselves in constant physical danger, not from any direct orders from superior officers, but simply out of a sense of duty to the general public in an effort to secure ard lay before their read- crs correct accounts of th General H. V. Boynton al tribute to the army corr: sald that Mr. Townsend, Mr. . He Page, Mr. Noyes, Mr. Taylor and the host of briitiant ard energetic men who had followed the armies during the war had performed as great a work and as dangerous as the men who had fought the battles. During the war with the army corespondents al- ways on hand it was impossible for any commander to distort facts or give a wrong impression in any of his official reports. Tho beautiful monument here. he said, was an example of the energy one of these correspondents. Mr. Town- send had conceived the idea and had un- falteringly carried it out and the beautiful structure which was being dedicated to- day would stand for years as a monument to him. General Fullerton likewise paid a tritute to war ccrrespondents in general and to Mr. Townsend in particular. Mr. Smith- meyer, the designer of the memorial, when calle : he was not an orator, but that speech was the monument itself, and that its language was the clamor of the el, the harimef and the trowel Mr. Edwin'B.
