These names and numbers tell of the men who had opened all the fiery gateways of Virginia from the York River to the Chickahominy, and from the Rapidan to the Appomattox. Now Gregory's New York Brigade--the 187th, 188th, and 189th,--young in orderl, led by Major van Brocklin, the little phalanx of the 50th New York Engineers, which had been left to help the Sixth Corps, pass once more the turbid rivers of Virginia.

The engineer brigade, the provost guard, and the escort moved to bivouac near Long Bridge, to start at 3.30 in the morning for their rendezvous at the foot of the Capitol front, ready to follow the cavalry ordered to be there at 9 A. M. At 4 A. M., of the twenty-third, the Fifth Corps began its march over Long Bridge, Canal Bridge,Long Bridge, Canal Bridge, and Maryland Avenue to First Street, East, moving left in front, in order to draw out easily right in front, for the ceremonial column. The Second Corps, leaving camp at 7 A. M., followed the Fifth to the vicinity of the Capitol, ready to follow in review. The movement was to be up Pennsylvania Avenue. The formation was in column by companies closed in mass, with shortened intervals between regiments, brigades, and divisions; the company fronts equalized to twenty files each, so the numbe

Had we not smiled at them — the huge dromedary caravans, struggling along the road, or sliding, leviathan-like, down the slopes of half-sheltered river-coves, launching out to their perilous, importunate calling?

One passing form to-day holds every eye. Riding calmly at the head of the 7th Wisconsin is Hollon Richardson, who at Five Forks sprang to take on himself the death-blow struck at Warren as he leaped the flaming breastworks in the lurid sunset of his high career. Pass on, men, in garb and movement to some monotonous; pass on, men, modest and satisfied; those looking on know what you are!
