The old roads of the battle field have
been reopened, new roads closed, and
the Work of restoring the lieids to their
condition nt the time of the battle Is
rapidly progressing. Over forty miles
of the main roads of the field have been
rebuilt In a substantial manner, and
this branch of the work Is nearly com-
pleted.
ruder the authority given by Con-
gress, the National t'oiiimlssioO Is pre-
paring historical tablets for army head-
quarters. corps, divisions and brigades,
on both sides, for all the fields. These
tablets will sot forth the composition
and commanders of each of these or-
ganizations. the brigade tablets carry-
ing these designations to the command-
ers of regiments and batteries. The
part taken by each organization
throughout the buttles will be concisely
set forth on these tablets. They are
each 4x.'l feet, and contain from 'JfNt t«i
400 words of historical text. The act
of Congress leaves it to the States to
erect monuments to regiments and bat-
teries; and to tlie latter organizations,
such as corps, divisions and brigades,
to erect their own monuments must,
under the law. receive the approval of
the Secretary of War before the tnonu*
