promptly notified by the United States Consul,
acting under Instructions from the State De
partment, thai the President intends to claim
that the American prisoners taken at Contoy
have not been guilty ofany crime for which, by
the laws of civilized nations, they should suf-
fer death, and that if one of them be unjustly
punished Iii may cost the two countries a san
culinary war;" all apprehensions as to the safe
ty of the then misguided men may now be con

Funeral Ceremonies In honor OF Colonel

On Saturday, June sth, the remains Of this hon.
ored representative, who occupied-but for a short
period-the scat OF the lamented Calhoun, reached
city. All the demonstrations that could be paid
20 them, under the circumsta were accorded
with depth Of feeling less fathomabe than IL To-
neral array Of the most gorgeous character had
been arranged The body Of the beloved friend Of
every citizen Of Charleston was in the course of
transmission TO its final resting place The bells of
the city were tolled, the flags Of the shipping and
on the public buildings, were at halfmast; all
places of business through which the procession
passed that conveyed tho body 10 the railroad were
closed, and every demonstration that circum-
stances allowed was made TO do honor to the re-
mains.
At the railroad depository the body was placed in
barge of the committee appointed by the citizens
Of Columbia.
We cannot refrain from passing remark in ref.
erence to the manner in which the President of the
railroad company arranged the transmission of the
remains over the road separate car, arrayed I'm
mourning, was provided for the body Succeeding
il was another car especially arrayed in all the ba-
bilimcnts Of grief, devoted 10 those i'm immcdi-
ate attendance ON the remains in which none were
permitted TO enter but the family Of the deceased,
and those deputed TO perform the last sad Offices
the dead. Thus Charleston sends TO the capital Of
our State the mortal relics of one whom she would
have wished to have claimed the mourntol gratf-
cation Of having his ashes mingled with soil over
which he never trode but with view 10 her benefit.
