The remains of twelve thousand four hundred and eighty-six (12,486) of these are identified; and while those of three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine (3,999) are classed as “Unknown,” yet a list is hereto appended showing the names of four thousand four hundred and seventy-two (4,472) Union soldiers who are known to have died or were killed at Nashville, Ten­ nessee, and different points in the vicinity, and who have either been interred as “Unknown” in this cemetery, or have been removed to their homes by relatives and friends. I am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ALEX. J. PERRY, Brev. Brig. General, and Quartermaster U. S. A. Brevet Major General M.C. MEIGS, Quartermaster General U.S.A., Washington, D.C. NASHVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY ______________ This cemetery is situated on the Gallatin pike, six miles from Nash­ ville, Tennessee, and is intersected by the Louisville and Nashville rail­ road, which divides it into nearly equal parts. It comprises about fifty-eight acres of beautifully undulating ground, a part of which is covered with a grove of stately forest trees. The avenues, nearly four miles in extent, are macadamized and graveled so as to form pleasant and delightful drives. A natural rivulet running through the grounds has been widened and deepened, and neatly walled up to form an outlet for drainage, as well as to serve as an ornamental water-course. The whole grounds are surrounded by a substantial picket fence. The total number of dead interred in the cemetery is sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty-six, of which twelve thousand four hundred and eighty-seven are known, and three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine unknown. Of white soldiers there are fourteen thousand five hundred and seventy-seven, and of colored one thousand nine hun­ dred and nine. The number of regiments represented is seven hundred and thirty, and of States and independent organizations thirty-one. The bodies interred in this cemetery have been gathered from an extensive region of country, along the Cumberland River from Carthage on the east to Clarksville on the west; from the line of the Louisville and Nashville and Northwestern railroad to the Tennessee River at John­ sonville; from the Edgefield and Kentucky and the Memphis branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad; from Bowling Green to Clarksville; from the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad to Lavergne; and from all intermediate and adjacent country; from the Nashville battle-field, and many of the skirmish grounds in Southern Kentucky, comprising those originally collected and buried at Tompkinsville. The number of distinct burial places from which these bodies were taken is two hundred and fifty-one. A very large proportion of the dead in this cemetery, however, were transferred from the hospital burial grounds in and around the city of Nashville. A full and complete record of all the interments in this cemetery, together with a complete copy of all burial sheets, has been deposited at the cemetery for the information of friends and visitors. Plats of the cemetery, showing the arrangements of the grounds and the precise location of each grave, with the number to each, will be found on deposit in the office of the Quartermaster General, at Washington, and also a duplicate copy of the burial sheets. Persons desiring to visit this cemetery can reach it by railroad from Louisville or Nashville, stopping at Madison station, or by private con­ veyance from Nashville over the Gallatin pike. The superintendent in charge of this cemetery may be addressed through the Nashville post office. RECAPITULATION. NASHVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY, TENNESSEE. States, &c. No. of regiments Known. Unknown.

  • Bicentennial Celebration of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that. But with the celebration of the Constitution must also come the commemoration of those sharing responsibility for the realization of those noble principles in the lives of the American people, those commissioned throughout our nation’s history as United States Attorneys.

Pumpelly who broke the traditional bottle of wine across her bow. As a matter of historic interest it may be said that a reproduction of the Susquehannah was used as an emblem on the first official seal of Owego village. On the 5th of May the new boat was run up the river about five miles, and on the next day about three miles down, on both occasions working to the satisfaction of her owners. On the morn ing of the 6th the Susquehannah started for Wilkesbarre, and reached there at 4:40 o'clock, p. m., but the return voyage occu pied three days. Later several other trips were made, but some accident or mishap happened on each occasion. In the spring of 1837 the boat was driven ashore by the ice at the mouth of Owego off" creek, and she was not "got and repaired until late in the season. Finally she steamed up and went to Wilkesbarre, and from there went adrift on high water and floated several miles down "attached" the river. She was eventually to pay for repairs, and sold for $60. Blanchard, her builder, sued the company on his contract and a long litigation followed, finally resulting in a judg ment in his favor, to satisfy which each of the directors was com pelled to pay $428.48 in addition to his original investment in the enterprise. Blanchard, in turn, was brought into court at the suit of James Pumpelly, for moneys advanced, and another long suit resulted.
