was arranged with appropriate decorations,
tor the solemn service of the day. At-daV
break, the flag ofthc United States was cree.
ted over the cross on the front of the edifice
In the interior, the large arch in front of the
altar was decorated with festoons of the ma
tonal banner, In which the stars and stripes
were tastefully entwined. The upper part
OF the church, Immediately in front of the al
Tar, was cleared of benches and left open for
the military: the six columns which support
the arches of the roof in this section, were
decorated with military flags, which rose
over the central aisle: the galleries and the
western half of the Church were filled with
seats for the civil portion of the congregation:
the galleries were thronged almost exclu-
sively by ladies.
AT about eleven O'Clock, the detachment
consisting of the French FusiIlrers, preceded
by the Charleston Riflemen and the German
FusiiIers as an escort, arrived at the Cathe-
dral under the command Of Capt. Rogers, OF

IN line in front Of the altar extended across
the Church, with platoons of the Germans
on their right and left, at right angles, resting
their wings respectively on the wing OF the
French, aud on the altarend Of the Church:
the Rifiemen formed an external cor.
don round the whole, thus exhibiting
three sides Of square completed by the
altar, the whole facing inwards, with the
