But looking at the matter not from a narrow, technical point of view but from a broad, national standpoint, it seems to me that good faith toward the State of Maryland, which originated. the scheme, purchased the ground, enacted the law, and made two appropriations to carry out its object, makes it the clear duty of the Trustees to effectuate as far as lies in their power the known intent of the act, and that such a course will meet the approval of the people of the loyal States who have be- come parties to the corporation and whose dead repose in the cemetery.
A strong local and individual feeling in the neighborhood of Antietam and other parts of Maryland, naturally engendered by the invasion, may have created some indifference in regard to the remains of the Confed- erate dead, and an indisposition to see them buried side by side with those who died in the defense of our nationality. But it is confidently believed that no such feeling pervades the breasts of the American people or the surviving officers and soldiers of the Union army.
When we recall the generosity and moderation that marked the con- duct of the people, the government, and the army during the war. the

magnanimity that presided at its close ; when we remember that our coun- trymen are now engaged in the work of reconstructing the Union on the basis of universal freedom and with an earnest desire to restore to the Southern States a prosperity infinitely greater than that which slavery and rebellion conspired to destroy, it is impossible to believe that they would desire to make an invidious distinction against the moldering remains of the Confederate dead, or that they would disapprove of their . being carefully gathered from the spot where they fell, and laid to rest. . in the National Cemetery on the battlefield of Antietam.
Conquerors as we were in that great struggle, our stern disapproval of the cause in which they fought need not forbid our admiration of the bravery with which they died. They were Americans, misguided indeed and misled, but still 'our countrymen, and we cannot remember them now either with enmity or unkindness.
The hostility of the generous and heroic ends with death; and, brief as our history is, it has furnished an early and striking example. The British and Americans who fell at Plattsburg sleep side by side, and a common monument on the Plains of Abraham attests the heroism of Wolfe and Montcalm.
To-day nothing perhaps could sooner awaken a national spirit in the heart of the South than the thought that representatives of the Northern States were gathering the remains of its fallen sons for interment in our National Cemetery; and in future days when our country is one, not alone in its boundaries but in spirit and affection, and the recent strug- gle is remembered as a war less of sections than of systems, the cemetery at Antietam, with its colossal statue of a Union soldier keeping guard over the ashes of all who fell in the opposing ranks of McClellan and Lee, will have a common interest for descendants of those who died on either side in that sad and memorable Civil War.
I think, therefore, that the Trustees of the Antietam Cemetery, espe- cially in view of the fact that the Southern States have not thus far been in a position to contribute to the general fund, should either set apart a sufficient plot of ground within the cemetery walls for the burial of the Confederate dead, or make suitable arrangements for an enlargement of the present inclosure, if necessary, to the attainment of the end proposed. I would also recommend that the attention of the War Department be called to the subject; and I entertain no doubt that the Secretary will cheerfully cooperate in an object of so much interest.
Very truly yours,
John Jay, Esq., Special Commissioner, etc., New York. R. E. FENTON.
After reading the above letter, Mr. Jay offered the following resolution :
Resolved, That, in pursuance of the provision of the 4th section of the Act of Maryland, passed March 23d, 1865, incorporating the Antietam National Cemetery, this Board do now designate and set apart for the burial of the Confederate dead who fell in the battle of Antietam in the first invasion of Lee the southern portion of the grounds not occupied, and separate from the ground devoted to the burial of the Union dead.
With reference to that part of Governor Fenton's letter which recom- mends "that the attention of the War Department be called to the subject," Mr. Jay informed the Board that, in company with Colonel Selleck, of Wisconsin, Chairman of the Executive Committee, he had called that morning on General Grant, Secretary of War, and submitted to him the facts of the case; that General Grant, after consulting with General Schriven as to the powers of the Department, expressed his cor- dial approval of the fulfillment by the Trustees of the provisions of the
331
APPENDIX.
Act, and his readiness to afford all the assistance in his power, regretting that no act of Congress conferred on the War Department any authority in the matter.
The resolution was then adopted by a vote of 7 to 2.
The Legislature of Maryland at the following January session appro- priated the sum of five thousand dollars to assist in carrying out the resolution of the Board.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the Cemetery held May 6, 1868, the superintendent reported that the unoccupied southern portion of the grounds was not sufficient for the burial of the Confederate dead, and recommended the purchase of additional grounds on the south side of the cemetery. The Board resolved to make the purchase, and a committee was appointed for that purpose. The Board met the following month (June 17) and adopted a resolution postponing all action with refer- ence to the removal of the Confederate dead until the next meeting, which was held on the 18th of November, when the question was again postponed till the annual meeting, held December 9, 1868. At this meet- ing, after discussing the question, the Board resolved to continue the resolution postponing all action for the burial of the Confederate dead.
After the Board adjourned, the Trustees for the State of Maryland ad- dressed a communication to Governor Swann, calling attention to the exposed and neglected condition of the Confederate dead, and informed the Governor that many of the trenches and graves were so washed that the bones were laid bare, and in some instances the remains had been turned over by the plow. They requested that some action be taken to protect the dead till they could be removed to a proper place of sepulture.
In consequence of the extreme illness of Governor Swann and his retiring from the gubernatorial chair, the communication was referred by him to his successor, Governor Bowie, who at once addressed a note to Thomas A. Boullt, Esq., of Hagerstown, Md., one of the Trustees for the State in the Antietam Cemetery, and requested him to employ agents to go over the battlefield and mound up the trenches and graves, and also to make careful notes of their location, and, as far as possible, identify the dead. For the accomplishment of the work, the services of Moses Poffinberger and Aaron Good, Esquires, citizens of Sharpsburg, and gen- tlemen well acquainted with the battlefields, were engaged. They visited every trench and grave herein described, and from their field notes this descriptive list has been compiled and published by direction of His Ex- cellency, Oden Bowie, Governor of Maryland.
This list, it is believed, embraces, with a few exceptions, all the Confed- erate dead buried upon the battlefields of Antietam, South Mountain, and the Monocacy.
