ment burial ground, in this city, on Saturday last,
at the hour and under the ceremonies prescribed
by the order of CoNGREss to be conveyed TO their
final resting place on the banks Of the Ohi", at
North Bend. The body was attended by the S n
OF the decreased, JOHN ScoTT HARRIsoS, Esq. and

zens, attended al the pace of departure from the
city, to IF r the last testimony of respect Ia the
earthly remains Of The lamented Cnrt wh"se
memory will ever be cnelshed by every true
hearted American.
A detachment of Marines, bv order Of the Pre-
sident, attended the body as an escort t" North
Bend. We understand that when the order was
addressed to Col. Henderson, commander "f
the Marine Corps J TO furnish the detachment.
and to d. sgnate an ,fficer TO and ii, he re-
pied thar. bring himself the senior tflicer, he
conceived it to be most proper and respectful
that he should act OF tie occasiuu, and accor-
dinghy as umed TO himself The eidnchOly duty
Of heading the escort.
Tie funeral train arrived at Baltimore al three
O'Clock in the afternoon. The Baltimore Ameri-
can of This morning saws:
The arrival in Baltimore of the body and
those who accompanied il, was without any
previous notice, and but compar auvely few of
our citiz,ns witnessed its passage from the
rs,lroal dept to the City Hotel The spectacle
of the NOR al remains Of the gallant hero and
tried mir"t, borne along in solemn silence, and
followed by tie little band of mourning friends,
clothed ii funeral habillments, was truly in
striking contrast with the crowds, the shouts, and
The Joyous demonstrations which marked his ap-
proach 20 the seli-same spot but few months
before
The American adds:
s'As soon as the arrival OF the body was known
Colonel Hickman rendered 10 the committee the
services of military guard. TO be present with
the body while It remained in the city. The

THE FUNERAL OF GEN. MACOMB,
Which is to lake place rIom his late residence
to-day, at 10 O'Clock will be an interesting spec
acle a. well as an honorable tribute TO the station,
the services, and the personal character Of the
late Commander of the Army.
The Orders from the Departments. directing
Funeral Honors to the deceased. will be found in
our columns to-day.
The Company OF U. s. Light Artillery on
duty at Fart McHenry arrived here yesterday
fur the purpose Of attending the Funeral.
II is probable we understand, that number
Of Volunteer Military Companies alsn will arrive
in this city from Baltimore this morning for the
same purpose.
Little did we expect, when we attended the
Funeral Of Gen. Harrison. on which occasion
Gen. Macomb commanded the Military escort,
that we should so soon have to follow the re-
mains of the living General to the tomb.
