and Meigs, Admiral Davis and Capt. W. R. Taylor, of the navy, and Major Field, of the marine corps. Following them were several carriages, in which were Secretaries Stanton, Welles and McCulloch; Postmaster General Dennison and Attorney General Speed; Major B. B. French, Commissioner of Public Buildings; Commissioner Dole, of the Indian Bureau; Holloway, of the Patent Bureau ; Captain Newman, of the Capitol Police; Governor Oglesby, Senator Yates and ex-Senator Browning, of Illinois; the Illinois delegation, which takes charge of the remains on behalf of that State, and a number of other Senators and members of Congress. President Johnson's carriage was also in the procession, accompanied by the Presi dent's body guard, mounted, which closed the procession.

Notwithstanding the early hour, and inclement weather, a large number of citizens had collected for the purpose of rendering a last mark of respect to the mortal remains of one whom they had loved and reverenced as the second Father of his Country. The assemblage increased in numbers very rapidly during the march from the Capitol to the depot, until on its arrival at the depot thousands were assembled. The space immediately in front of the depot was cleared by the military; the detachment of the Veteran Reserves, which escorted the remains, was drawn up fronting the main entrance and the line covering the entire front, while the guards kept back all but those who immediately assisted in the demonstration, or those who were actually intending to take passage in the half-past seven A. M. train.

The coffin was carried into the depot, followed by the distinguished gentlemen, civil and military, before mentioned, and deposited in the car which had been prepared for its reception. At the door of this car the Rev. Dr. Gurley again briefly addressed the God of the living and

the dead in a solemn and appropriate prayer. Ten minutes before eight o'clock a pilot engine was started to ascertain that the track was clear, and at precisely eight o'clock the funeral train was put in motion.

The military escort remained in line in front of the depot until the train started, and as it commenced to move presented arms, as a last token of respect. As the train moved off by the Soldiers' Rest, which is immediately in the rear of the depot, the Eighth Regiment United States colored artillery, were drawn up in line and presented arms until it had passed.

The remains of little Willie Lincoln, who died in the White House, December 21st, 1862, at the age of twelve years, was placed in the interior of the hearse car, immediately in front of those of his father. Mrs. Lincoln requested that no display be made of her son's remains, but that they might be privately removed to Springfield.
