ely sympathizes with the noble sentiments so eloquently expressed in those resolutions, and commends the patriotic object of that Society as worthy of all admiration. The people to whom it is particularly addressed will, I doubt not, generously and promptly respond to this appeal in behalf of their fellow-brothers, and any objects in the possession of the Government, which may be indicated by your Excellency, in pursuance of the 6th resolution referred to, as appropriate trophies for dedication to such a monument, will be cheerfully placed at your disposal for this purpose. It is right that the monuments of those who have fallen in the battles of their country should share the trophies of victory which their valor helped to win, and the Government is happy thus, at the suggestion of your Excellency, to embalm its gratitude to those honored dead, whose monuments, like their lives, will belong to the glory of their country. Respectfully, J. P. Benjamin, Acting Secretary of War.
