A NATION .Arch of Nationality f Atlanta Chattanooga, Tkn.v, Dec. H.?An effort is being made to have an arch of nationality erected in this city in honor of the soldiers of both sides who lost their lives in the battle ol Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. ?encrai Gros venor, a leading member of Congress, at the last session introduced a bill to erect the arch, and it was referred to the Secretary of War for a report to be presented at this session of Con gress. .Secretary of War llooi, re ferred the matter to General Henry V. Hoynton, president of the Chicka mauga Park commission, fer a repOit. This li.iM been prepared and was yes terday sent to the secretary, who will now make up his report to Congress, which will undoubtedly be in favor of the erection of the arch. General Boynton'a report is as follows: To the Hon. Secretary of War: Sir?Tho Chickamauga National Military Park Commission, in co operation with Hon. Charles II. Gros venor, has for several years past had under consideration the project cov ered by II. R. 869, Fifty-sixth Con gress, first session, to provide for the erection of a memorial arch at Chat tanooga, Tcnn. The present session, the first after the close of the war in which all sections participated with ! equal enthusiasm, seems to be an ap- ] propriale time for the erection of an arch of nationality. Chattanooga seems to this commis sion to be the most appropriate place for such a war arch, since the notable battlefields about it arc the only ones where all of the great armies of the North and of the South were engaged either as a whole or were numerously represented. On tho Union side were tho Armies of the Cumberland, two corps of tho Army of the Tcuncssec and two corps of the Army of the Potomac. On tho Confederate side were tho Army of Tennessee, Long street's corps from the Army of Northern Virginia, a largo force from the army in tho department of Mis sissippi and Louisiana, and the army from Vioksburg. Grant, Rosccrans, Thomas, Sherman and Hooker com manded these forces on one side, and Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston and Long street on the other. Oa tho Union side there wero nine corps commanders, twenty-one divis ion commanders, sovonty-seven com manders of brigades and twclvo com manders of artillery battalions. On the Confederate side wero ten commanders of oorps, twenty-two of divisions, fifty-seven of brigades and four of artillery battalions. Besides these, there wero tweaty fivo organizations of United States regulars and sevon of ConfcVrato States regulars. Among these com manders wero scores on each side of names us famous as any that can bo found ou any fields of the war. Tho number of soldiers on tho rolls of these various commands at the dato of tho battle, whilo not all present were all interested iu tho battles. The approximate strength of tho armies engaged, as shown by tho mus ter rolls, was (present and absent) : Army of tho Cumberland (Thomas).132,000 Army of the Tennessee (Sher man). 31,000 Arniy of tho Potomac?detach ment (Hooker). 26,500 Total Union.189,500 Army of Tonnesseee (Bragg).. 83,250 Army of Northern Virgiria (LongsLreet). 23,800 Department of Mississippi and Louisiana (J. E. Johnston).. It) ,000 Preston's division (East Ten nessee). 8,000 Co-operating Georgia defense men (local).- 10,000 Total Confederate.141,000 Troops from all the Northern States except four in the Union cast of the Rocky Mountains at tho time of the battle about Chattanooga (20 in num ber) were engaged in them, those not represented by troops being Now Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware. Troops from all the" Southern States were engaged. The total organizations engaged were 686, of which there were 496 regiments of infantry, 78 of cavalry and 112 batteries. The assembling of soldiers for the war with Spain brought a great army to Chattanooga. This was a joint gathering from the North and South and as Vermont and New Hampsaire sent regiments there, it leaves bat two of the States of the union east of the Kooky Mountains in 1861, namely, Rhode Island and Delaware, whioh have not a direot interest in signaliz ing asj persevering tho military his tory of the events about Chattanooga not the least important of whioh was the .rallying of South and North for AL ARCH. or Chickamauga l^ark. ,/oltllKll. war under a common Hag. The States ; thus represented were Arkansas, Colo rado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ken tucky, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, New Ilamp shire, New York, Nebraska, Ohio, i Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Vermont. \V< t \ irginia, Wis consin and tin; District of Columbia. There were eleven v duntccr batteries ' and two regiments of immunes. This assembling of troops at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Mili tary National I'ark from all sections for the war with Spain would seem to add largely to the appripnatcucss of Chattanooga as the location of an arch of nationality. Here soldiers from South Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan and Georgia, Vermont and Teuuessec, Arkansas and New York, Maine and Mississippi, were camped side by side. Twenty-four States and the District of Columbia were there, besides the fif teen regiments and ten batteries of the regular army, making in all lifty-threc regiments of infantry, ten of cavalry, and twenty-one batteries, a total of eighty-four organizations. First and last, fully one-quarter of the entire army of the Spanish war was mobi lized there. It was the first camp since tho restoration of tho union where soldiers of the North aud South wero brought together for tho national defense. It was therefore a camp which most impressively illustrated tho solidity and strength of our na tionality. Leaving the Pacific out of view, there are no great battlefields as uear ly central for the States which fur nished soldiers to the civil war as Chickamauga and Chattanooga. A glance at the map will show this. Chattanooga is nearly midway between Maine and Texas, betwecu Minnesota and Florida, between Arkansas and the Atlantic, nnd between tho lakes and the gulf. The battlefield of Stone River is the only one that shares this clement of centrality, and both tho armies which fought there wero at Chattr.nooga. All the other great fields of tho war are far from tho cen ter of the area whioh furnished the armies, and from the center of popu lation. As tho inucr chamber of such a structure as the bill contemplates will afford in an upper hall to bo lighted from the roof abundant blank ppace, it is suggested that, iu addition to tho complete roster of tho armies, tho governors of States and tho State commissions whnh havo co-operated in establishing the park aud ascertain ing and marking its lines of battle, a roster in bronzo of the Congross which established tho park and of tho Con gress whioh authorized tho arch of nationality bo also provided, to the end that a cornpleto history may bo secured for tho future of all who con tributed to preserving tho reoord of American prowncss in batt'j and to this imposing celebration of the re* suiting nationality. Such aro tho reasons whioh suggest cd themselves to this oommission tending to show that Chattanooga is an appropriate place for tho erection of the arch of nationality.
