Orleans, on the 18th inst, in honor of Majo,
Ringgold and 1t Cochrane, were participated
in bSan immense throng of the military and
citizens. The Delta says:
The Legion led the procession; next came
Cen Lewis and staff, then tho two cofiius,
borne on one of the gun. carriages Of tho Bat.
talon OF Artillery, aud supported by the May
or, Aldermen, and the officers of Mai. Gally g
Battalion of pnll-hearcrs, and followed by pri-
Vate Kelly, the tdvorite tea MISTER of the lamen-
ted Rlnggold, who lost an arm in the same bat
| tie in which his beloved commander lost his
life, and the Baltimore Committee as chief
mourners. The Governor and staff came next,
well mounted and in superb uniforms. The
gallant tiremen brought up the rear of the
line, which extended some eight or ten squares
We must not omit, in noticing the ceremo-
| mes so credltable to our city and municipal au-
thorties, to express our admiration Of the beau
tiiul and appropriate music of the magnificent
brass band that volunteered for the occasion.
As their foil and mournful melody pealed
through the vast dome of the rotunda, where
the collins Of the lamentod dead lay enshrouded
by most appropriate habiments OF sorrow, and
the Pickering fires in the urns threw pale
and funeral light over the scene, there was not
an eye in which the tear did not glisteli, nor
heart where thrOhbngs were not in unison with
the sorrowinl notes OF the solemn dirge.
In tho dark shadow of the mausoIeum, md
beneath the coffin of Ringgold, sat his devoted
co0Panion in arms, who, faithful in death as ia
HE, has never left his post as chief mourner
and sentinel over the mortal remains Of his
gallant leader. May his true hearted patrio.
tlSm find its reward, aud may the good citi-
2ens oil the Union extend their charitable aid
to the disabled soldier
On the arrival of the procession at the Rlil-
road Depot, tho Governor, IN taking leave of
the Commit ee, addressed it in the name of the
State, in language worthy of the mournIul &C.
casiOn. The romans Of Maj RinggoId were
then placed in car, specially appropriated by
the company for the occasion, dressed in mourn
ing, with flags at each end half-maSt, and con-
Veyed to the steamboat Oregon, at the Lake
end OF the road, accompanied by portion of
the military, where Col. Labuzln, a id to Gen.

Characteristic of the soldier and the man
Maj. Griffith, Chairman of the Committee,
made most feeling and eloquent reply, and in
closing his remarks, sa id he would endeavor TO
convey TO the citizens of Maryland some faint
idea of the honors paid in the "CTesent City,"
to one whom nation mourned-the lamented
Ringgod-who had fallen martyr to his val
or and devotion to his country.
The remains of Lieut.. Cochrane were taken
back from the Railroad Depot, with military
honors, to the Arsenal, where they will remain
i'll charge of the Artillery Battalion, until
placed on board vessel for PnIade phia,
