Henry liiterer, the sculptor, bus a miniaturo model of the proposed statue molded in 'clay. It represents Gen. Warren discovering Hood's Texan about to occupy Little Round Top on tho second duy of the battle of Gettysburg. The head is well thrown in his right hand back, the Acid-glahas just been lowered to the level of his breast, and hi left hand is apparently trembling with excitement. Tho uniform i that of a Gen. Warren, when he visited Little Hound Top on that eventful morning, found his signal corps gathering their flags and preparing to leave the hill, and discovered Hoods Texans, who had got around Gen. Sickles' flank, advancing to take that advantageous position. Realizing the damaga the Texnn could do the Union army if they gained this point, he ordered his signal corps to wave their flag boldly, as if tho hill were defended by a largo force, while ha dashed off in search of trooj's. He met Karnes' Division of the Fifth Corps, nnd. on his own Vincent's detached responsibility, Brigade with HazlilL's battery, and led them up tho huighta. They rcuehed tho summit just as Mood's men came up the other side, and a fferce Aght occurred, resulting disastrously to Hood's men.

It would he a step in the right direction to increase somewhat the pay of the noncommissioned officers, that every man who enters the service may And in it the possibility of a modest future. With a view to the same end I would recommend a change in the law relative to the selection of enlisted men for appointment to the grade of Second Lieutenant lractio-aliit is now possible for company commanders to give these valuable appointments to young men who have enlisted for that sole purpose. In order to insure exact justice to all, and give full effect to the benefleent purpose of Congress, the Initiatory step should he with the men themselves.
