Funeral Rites over the Remains Of Lieut.. Col.
Graham, killed at DIolino del Reg.
The hast sad rites the mortal remains OF
the late Lieut. Col. William Montrosc Graham,
took place in this city to-day.
1t was near twelve o'clock when we reached
St. Johns church (Episcopa) opposite the Pre-
sident's mansion The streets contiguous were
occupied by large gathering of the military
and citizens. The polite sexton passed US in
through ths throng To an eligible seat We
were struck with the architectural beauty OF tbs
interior OF the edfice but we have not room
herein TO describe its chasteness and finished
simplicity OF elegance. The sole mn tolllng of
the bell ceased, and the ceremonies were about
To begin. We looked about Us. la front of the
altar was the coffin clothed In black, in each
flank of il a file of u. $. Marines, and
around II were the officers of the Fremont Court
Martial, among the bravest, oldest, and most DIS
lngulshed In The service. Near by was Major
ly and relatives. The President, Mr.. Mason,
Mr.. Cave Johnson and Mr. Clifford, of
the Cabinet, were present, number oil
members of both Houses of Congress, in
GLIDING Mr.. Webster, and as we were informed,
Mr.. Adams, also, were among the audience,
with quite a large proportion OF officers OF the
army and navy. A highly distinguished audi
tory, ladies' and gentlemen, filled the church.
The interior, by some tasteful hands, was most
beautifully decorated for the occasion. From
the slsylight over the dome, there depended
number OF festoons Of evergreens, reaching down
into the body of the building, whence Ihey d.
verged In various directions to the railing OF the
gallery. In the centre, hanging some ten ieet
over the altar, was a cross, wrought In ever
greens, suspended by chain, formed OF the
same materials, of ivy, lockwood, cedar, and ar
bor.vitn. The pillars supporting the galleries
were completely enyeoped IN ioiiage-thc pull
oil and the galleries All around the facing OF
the galleries, there was the following inscrip-
ton, wrought by the hand OF a master, in ever
green leaves
"The glory OF Lebanon shall come unto thee;
the pine tree, the FIR tree, the box together, TO
beautiy the place OF my sanctuary"
And indeed, II was beautiful. The Rev. DR..
Pyne, pastor of the church, assisted by the
Rev. Mr.. French, of the Epiphany, administer
I'd the solemn and impressive funeral service, as
laid down by the Episcopal church. The solemn
music OF plaintlve voices, and the Organize I'M
