flIed with ANXIOUS lockers on I'm the arrival
Of the head of the column at the Cemetery, the
Cavalry and Light Artillery passed in and
marched along the avenue leading to the right,
followed by the balance Of the procession. The
troops were formed in the Cemetery grounds,
when the four companies especially detailed
were formed in line at the foot Of the grove,
and the coffin was taken from the hearse by
the Pail bearers aud conveyed to the grave,
the troops standing with presented arms and in
silence, the bands playing mournlnl dirge.
The grave is walled up with brick, with a
pine box inside, and is covered with slabs of
granite. When the coffin was deposited IN tho
vault prepared for it, the relatives of the de-
ceased gathered at the foot, and the teamster
Kelly, with the officers Of tho division and Wis
ting corps, gathered around, and stood bare
headed, while the Rev. DIR. IL. V. ID. Johns,
advancing to the head OF the grave, read, in a
most solemn and impressive manner, the cere-
mony of the Episcopal Church. When hs clos.
ed, the Rev. DR.. G, G. NJ, Roberts delivereda
most eloquent and ferVid prayer, We saw the
manly tear stand in many eyes, and poor kel-
ly, when he saw the cover Of the vault fitted
down, turned away and wept. The scene was
one OF unusual solemnitY, and worthy of the
gallant citizen soldiers who had eongregated
there to pay the last sad tribute to the memory
Of the noble RiDggold, who fell like true pa
triot, defending the flag and honor of our conf
mon country. The ceremonies at the grave
we're closed by three voles of blank cartridges,
from tho detailed escort, when the column re.
formed, and marching out of the Cemetery,
proceeded down York Avenue to Madison st.,
down Madison street to Aisquith street. down
Aisquith street to Pitt street, down Pitt street
to Front street, and down Front street to Bal
timore street, where the commanders of their
respective regiments took command, and pro-
ceeding to their several parade grounds, dis
missed. The various visiting corps were es-
corted to their quarters by our different volun-
teer corps.
AS the procession moved through the city
with solemn and impressive step, with mourn
full music and muf1led drum, the Cathedral
church and Fire bells toled in sad chorus,
requiem for the gallant dead. The appearance
of the military, both our own and the visiting
corps, was most elegant and soldierlike, and
elected many favorable encomiums The
streets, by the time the procession moved, were
quite muddy and disagreeable, but did not in
the least daunt the ardor Of the various military
corps.
Thus has been brought from the memorable
field OF Palo Alto, all that IS mortal Of one of
Maryland'S most gallant sons, and has been
deposited in the bosom of his native State In
a few years, and we hope TO see a monument
worthy of his deeds raised to his memory,
proud column which sire shall point out to
son, and shall bid him behold how Maryland
honors those of her children who in glory die
defending their country.

Detention Of the Cars. In our paper Of yes

the train from Washington running off the |
track about IS miles this side of the above !
city. There was rail on the track, which !
caused the accident, but whether placed there 7,
by design or not, was not aseertained, though |

scaIded.
