Dr. Crooxs said:—Why should we commemorate war? Its visible signs are the destruction of property and life. Its accompaniments are the groans of the wounded, the graves of the dead, torn and distracted communities, the pulling down and the scattering of the slowly built works of peace. Its implements—the frowning battiement, the bristling bayonet—are repulsive to the sight. And yet we do commemorate war, and try as well as we may to make its recollections precious. For through war we have preserved freedom and given perpetuity to its insti- tutions. By erecting thie monument we embatm the me- mory of the dead, and by a visible lesson teach to the liv- ing the ‘jouspess of freedom, Our war, costly as were its sacrifices, had an invaluable odject—an object never better expressed (han in words of the martyred Linceln—to determine whether “governments of the people, by the people and for the ie, should perish from the face of the earth.’ In settling this momentous problem your fellow citizens and representatives in the a yg: an illustrious part. In response to the call for help you furnished two hundred volunteers. Flushing Battery, known as the Thirty-fourth New ‘k, was with Burnside at the defence of Knoxville, where, at Fort Saunders, the rebel army was repulsed, and Kast Tennessee saved. And then in the army of the Potomac it took part in the battles of the Wilderness and the closing contests belore ighty of these your representatives laid down a lives as a willing offering for the salvation of our common country. ‘It is fitting that you cherish their memories, and that, in token of your gratitude, you erect this ly shaft, For if treason, a one President bas tanght us, “shonld be made odious,” how can it better be made odious than by making patriotism ilinsiriowe | And pow, what is the prime quality of American institations?

With us the pyramid stands not on its apex, where it must be propped to prevent its toppling over, bat on iis broad base. When the war broke out we bad intrusted the care of the country to just such a man.

The American army, com- poved of such elements, was simply the American rallying around their a rescuing their imperitied Unton. was the iunage of the multiform traits of the national life, and contained the living representatives of the national character, It is meet and right, therefore, to erect » monument to the memory of the American soldier—the citizen soldier, who bas shed hw biood in defence of in- fs itutions which he knew how to appreciate and which he had learned to lo In the name of God, in the ame of freedom, in the name of Union, we erect the shaft as peporosh sactnceial Ot Cu paicionen of Anes has from us and have died for us, ‘Th Je Cry of Freedom’ was next sung, the as- Semblage joining in the choras, The benediction was pronounced by the Rev.

The greater portion of the assembinge remained to witness the pho- Jographing of the scene, the most prominent feature of which was tbe position of the girls, who were dressed in white and remained standing before the inonument, The Day in New Jersey. JERSEY CITY. The thunder of artillery ushered in the dawn to greet again the appearance of that hallowed day in which is the ersence of American pride, New York thundered forth its salutations, so did Jersey, and the merry peals floating in commingled sounds from spire and tower across the North river were met half way and embraced by kindred messengers of the glad tidings in the sister State. In the rivalry of course Jersey could at best but follow at a distance in tte wake of her powerful sister. Her streete did not echo the tread of soldiery assembied to exhibit the nation’s power, and to renew the pledge of unalterable fidelity to her cause in field and flood, nor could #he boast of palatial mansions like those of our grand squares and boulevards; butfthen the same vivid, Jntense glow of patrioticm animated every breast.

The boys marched in platoons, while a detach- ment from the Volunteer Fire Department, beaded by Chief Engineer Lyle, acted as a guard of honor, forming in a hollow square, to the orphan girls, who rode tn their ambulances, About ten thousand veterans from the city and State participated in the procession, and the orphans who are under the protection of the State numbered eleven hun- dred. The spectacle presented on the appearance of the color bearers and the troops before the main stand at Inde- pendence square was one of the grandest ever witnessed on this continent. Over one hundred color bearers eur. rounded Governor Curtin and General Meade with the torn remnants of the flags of their regiments, On a staging, forming a sem|-circle around the main stand, there were concentrated thousands of widows and orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers who had fallen in battle, Independence Hall, in the rear, was handsomely draped with the national colors, as were the trees on either side of the main avenug. Fifteen or twenty thousand people were congregated within the square. THE PRESENTATION. At noon the ceremony of presenting the fags took place in the square in the rear of Independence fall. The color bearers occupied a position in front of the stand, and after the performance of the Triumphal March by Birgfeld’s Band, and the delivery of an im- pressive prayer by Rev, Dr, Brainard, Major General Meade made the formal presentation. He was received with immense enthusiasm. ‘The General said:—At the request of the brave and noble men who have fought on #o many battle felds for the preservation of the Union, who bave faced the enemy in the most heated conflicts, he felt honored in being their representative on this occasion, to transfer these insignia of their bravery to the source from which they ,came—the State of Pennsylvania.

With prayers to the Al- mighty that he would guard our nnited country, and that these flags would serve hereafter as a warning to all fature traitory who dare strike at the national beart, and that Pennsylvanias would never again be called "pon to fight against men whom they regarded as brothers, but that these flags would be looked upon in the future oniy a proud testimonials of ite steadfast loyalty, the General presented them to the Governor, atnidst intense euthu- siasin.
