Thc Chickamauga Commission ox tend through the press of tho State <i cordial invitation tc all the citizens of South Carolina, to join ir the most impressive and interesting ceremo nies. For the convenience of Veterans, SODS, the State volunteer troops and all citizens attending, tho Southern railway has made special arrangements and this route will be the official rouie.

The battle flags and heroes of Kershaw will be saluted. Thc procession now arrives on the ground sacred to the valor and tho worth of South Carolina's Sons, for it was that over which Kershaw swept, ?she drove tho enemy back to their last stand cs the ridge. Arriving at tile monument, the ?etcrans will press to the front, the State Volunteer troops saluting. The Park Commissioners will have erected a large -stage and1-sufficient ?eating capacity for the veteranq and visitors.

J For Culpepper's Battery-Miss As tho ribbons aro pulled the cover will fall and Bhow one of tho hand somest' Monuments in tke Park. It is built of South Carolina granite, a fit emblem of the heroic stand made by the South Carolinians on this field on either side is a bronze statute, original, and made especially for this work, an Infantryman on one side aud an Artilleryman on the other. South Carolina had no cavalry in this battle. Crowning the whole is a bronze Pal metto of exquisito workmanship, sur passing in truthfulness to nature the wonderful bronze Palmetto at the State House. On tile front of the upper stone is the Shield of South Carolina in I Bronze. Tho inscriptions are as follows: On the front, composed by Bishop Capers, with grand simplicity. To her faithful Sons at Chickamauga, South Carolina Erects this Monument to Commemo rate the valor they proved, and the lives they gave on this battlefield. On the baok: Kershaw's Brigade, 2d South Caro lina regiment, 3d South Carolina, regiment, 7th South Carolina regi ment, 8th South Carolina regiment, James* 3d South Carolina Battalion: Killed,(55; Wounded,438; Missing, 1. Of Manigaulc's Brigade, 10th Soath Carolina regiment, 19th South Caro lina regiment, consolidated: Killed, 26; mortally wounded, 40; wounded, 170. Gist's Brigade 24th Soutk Carolina regiment, Killed, 43; Wounded, 114; missing, 12. Culpeppcr's Battery, Wounded, 14. The total height of the monument is 33 feet. The \ erk was done by the Stewart Stone Co.,.Columbia, S. C., and reflects the highest credit on their artistic taste aud skill. As soon as the monument is un veiled Gov. McSweency will turn it over to the Park Commission '?nd it will be received by Gen. Henry V. Boynton, the chairman. Tho ceremonies* having ended, the crowd will disperse over the battlefield to study and admire it. Tho official trains will return to Chattanooga in the afternoon, and after timo for supper, etc, the vete rans for Memphis will speed on their way, reaching that point early on the morning of tho 28th May. The other visitors will take the train for Norvh Carolina. Around the monument is a 12 feet circular pavement ef cement, faced with granitoid. The markers for South Carolina troops are placed on the battlefield SB follows: Kershaw's Brigade-On the slope of, Snodgrass Range, one for each of the regiments. , For 10th and 19th South Carolin? regiments the position in general dur ing the afternoon is shown by the guns of Dent's Battery on.tho crest of the ridge. Advancing from this point, they made repeated oKarges on the enemy, and the point of furthest advanoe is shown by the South Caro lina marker. For the 28th South Carolina regi ment the marker is placed on Kelley's Farm, near the "Bloody Angle," and near tbe Shell Monument to their Brigade Commander Colquitt. For Culpepper's Battery in the Poe Field, aear thc Georgia Monument. It is hoped that Gen. Gordon, Com I mander U. C. V., on bis way to Mem I phis will be able to stop over and take ? part in thc ceremonies. ?Gov. A. C. Chandler, of Georgia, has been most pressingly invited and writes that himself and staff will bo present "unless providentially hin dered." The commission had to fix th?- day for tho unveiling to take it on tho way to tho Memphis reunion. At tho close of those reuniens, the veterans scatter and it would be hard to get them together for any ceremony re j turning. The remuions usually co<n I menee on Wednesday, but this year it - begins on Tuesday, which necessita ted the selection of Monday. This .forced tho -commencement of the mov : incut in Chickamauga on Sunday. While it will not prevent the great mass of veterans and visitors lcav?ug ' home on that day, there are many who have conscientious aeruples against traveling on Sunday. Tho unveiling of a monument is held as holy an ob ject as one could have, and would cer tainly excuse all such. But the com miesioh asked for and have secured the date of selling tickets to commence Saturday, so any ono can reach Chat tanooga from South Carolina before Sunday. ? The battle flag, around whioh tho veterans of the 10th and 19th South Carolina regiments will assemble, is the worn and tattered flag of the 10th South Carolina regiment. It was saved from suirender almost provi dentially. At the Battle of Benton 3 viiie the 10th South Carolina regi ment, then commanded by Capt. B. Z. H&rllee, penetrated the enemy's line, but reinforcements coming up, tue lino was reformed and Capt. Had lee, Sergeant Albert A. Myers, bear ing the flag, and about twenty men, half of the regiment, so reduced was it, were out off, they took to the swamp, hid until night. Sergeant Myers threw away the. staff and put tho flag under his elothing. The party made their way through the swamp and got bask *- the Confed erate lines. The remnants of the 10th and 19th South Carolina regiments were subsequently consolidated into Walker's South Carolina Battalion, and so surrendered. When Gol. Walk er returned from wounded furlough, ho oould learn nothing of the 10th regiment's flag, that of the 19th Seuth Carolina being used as the Battalion colors and at the surrender properly surrendered it as the flag of the Bat talion As Col. Walker rode out of samp on the way homo Capt. Hadlee handed him a package, giving it with express stipulation that it should not bo opened until he reeohed home. When he reached homo he opened it and found the flag of the 10th South Carolina regiment. He has treasured it most sacredly ever since. The up per half of the flag staff is a pieoe of the flag staff of Fort Sumter, whioh was used by Maj. Anderson during tho attack on thc Fort of April, 1861. It was given to Col. Joseph Walker, the father sf Col. C. I. Walker, by Gen. Beauregard. Altogether the flag staff is a most historically valuable memento. It was proposed to first lay the cor ner stone of tho monument before the dedication, but the elaborate masonic ceremonies would have taken too much time from tho limited time available, so this function had to bo reluctantly dispersed with. Tho monument bas a corner stone and in it will be deposited: rniNTED BOOK8. 1. Col. Dickert's valuable sketch of Kershaw's Brigade. 2. Col. C. I.

Richest Man in the World. , NEW YORK, March 15.- "Andrew Carnegie is undoubtedly tho richest man in tho world who has his fortuita capitalized," said a noted banker to your correspondent this aftcruoon. "Tuero ?re, perhaps, two or three other mon whoso incomes are larger i than hi6-John D. Reokefellcr, for instance. Hut these men are in ac tive business, and their great incomes depeud, in large measure, on the dc- j grce ef attention they devote to their affairs. But Andrew Carnegie, through tho consummation of tho steel combination, has succeeded in capitalizing his colossal fortune. Mr. Morgan and his associates relieve Mr. ? Carnegie of thc entire burden of hu*!- 1 ness cares and give him securities to , the amount of $210,000,000, ot: which ho will draw 5 per ceut. interest as long as he lives.
