MONUMENT.
National Government Accepts Statue
of Confederate General
Presented by United Confederate
Veterans.Grant's
Tribute to Lee.

Vicksburg,' Mies, June 11.?
Several thousand Confederate
-veterans witnessed the unveiling
of the heroic statue to Gen. Stephen
DiU Lee here today. The
splendid monument, designed by
Kitson, stands in the National
Park upon the exact spot from
which General Lee directed the
movement of his troops during
the siege ol Vicksburg.
Vicksburg had b^en preparing
lor the dedication for months.
The town was gayly decorated
with flags and bunting, the Stars
and Bars and the Stars and
Stripes always entwined.
The parade tormed at noon
and headed by Gen. Fred D.
Grant, United States army, aod
an escort of cava'ry, proceeded
to the National Park. The Warren
Light Artillery fired a eeoer
&Fs salute and then Henry Wa1tereon
called the assemb'y to order.
Upon taking the chair as presiding
officer, Mr. Watterson said

that, Irom the Falls ot St Anthony
to tthe Gult of Mexico, it
flows through an unbroken succession
ot American States ; at

perpetual union between the
North and the South.
it was to gain this outlet to
the sea that we acquired the
Louisiana^ of France. It was to
keep it opeu that the yeomen of
the great Northwest took the
fceld. The purpose to close it

Gibbon tells us, that, "History is
little more than the register ol
the crimes, tollies and misfortunes
of mankind," what must not
all ot us have to answer for, when
reason comes to the final diepo
fcition of the tacts of a conflict,
which even now battles philosophy;
because the South, foredoomed
to defeat, risked all and
bad everything to lose; the won
der .being, and the glory, that
against such odds the self-confident
but vanquished and vanished
Confederacy was able to
hold out so long.
As Mr. Watterson cease 1
speaking two little boys unveiled
the statue. They were John
G. Lee and Lee Harrison, grand\
sons of General Lee, while the
i j '
^ . general's son, Blewett Lee, ot
A Chicago, stood at their side,
trb When the enthusiasm bad died

opi commander-in-chief of the Con.
federate Veterans, formally preIt
n rented the statue to the federal
that\ government on behalf of the
panic, people of Mississippi and the ,
- uba^ Confederate Veterans.
!T dJ when General Evans iinished
and Mr. Watterson arose to present
General Grant, who had ,
been directed by (he Federal
government to receive the monument,
a storm ol applause broke
out and continued for nearly
twenty minutes.
