"How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest.
* * *
* * *
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell, a weeping hermit, there."

GENERAL: I have the honor to
transmit herewith the record of burials

Cemetery, Alexandria, Va.
This cemetery, which has been under the charge of

The site is admirably adapted for burial purposes, and has been laid off

Well-kept gravel walks traverse the grounds, the graves
have been sodded, and white tablets, lettered in black, are placed at
the head of each, giving name, rank, regiment and date of death.
A neat office has been erected for the accommodation
and convenience of visitors.
Every care and attention have been bestowed by the
officer in charge in ornamenting and beautifying this cemetery, and
making it a suitable resting place for our deceased soldiers.
The total number of interments are: white, 3,372;
colored, 229; total, 3,601; of which number there are -
