! The FuNERAL.-The mortal remains
OF MAJOR General Zachary Taylor, late
President of the United States, were yes-
terday deposited in their last resting place.
The hero, the patriot, the warrior. III.
entombed in the burial grounds of his faith
ers, and in the memory of a greteful peo-
Pile. He, who, three short years since at
the head Of the armies of his country. w..
shedding, by his victories, an imperishable
glory upon the name Of Americans-he,
who, four short months ago, was at the
head ofthe nation, winning golden opin-
ions by the integrity of his administration
lies now low in the dust-to be seen
no more amongst us-to be known here
after only in history. In the memory Of
his patriotism, all true Americans should
find motive for an increased love of their
country and that Union which he. while
living had resolved 10 protect with all The
power at his command, till he should
spend his last energy in its behalf; let all
those henceforih more fondly cherish and
more religiously reverence who entertsin
grateful recollection of the services be
rendered his country.
Attended by Col. Taylor, Judge Nc
Lean, and Col. Bliss, the body Of the de-
ceased was yesterday morning at an early
hour delivered TO the civil authorities of
the city. By pre- arrangement. the militia
ry' the hre companies, the mayor and
council, and the citizens met and formed
in procession on Jefferson street opposite
the court house and proceeded thence
| down Sixth street TO Main, up Main 10
Fifth, down Fifth to Water, and up Wa
ter to Strader's wharf, where was living
the steamboat Navigator, which had
brought to this city from Pittsburgh the
body Of the deceased. Upon the recep-
ton of it by the city authorities, Gov.
Crittenden, who has been amongst us for
few days said, on behalf of the corporate
authorities OF the city, addressing himself
TO Coils. Taylor and Bliss, that the people
of Kentucky felt just pride that the fam
lily OF the deceased had selected the soil
OF this Commonwealth as that in which the
ashes OF the deceased should repose, and
he was sure he might, in their name, say
that the grave Of the departed patriot
would be hallowed by reverence only
equalled by the atfectionate regard with
which Gen. Taylor had beer regarded by
the people when living. No hostile bands
would ever tread upon the turf which
: covered him, but his sepulchre would be
spot where our young countrymen
would repair to mediate upon the life and
character which had won high renown for
bold achievement and had been ,es pecially
celebrated for the practice Of all The virtues
which adorn private life. He did not de-
sire TO detain the holy Office in which the
friends Of the deceased were engaged, and
, on behalf Of the authorities Of the city, re-
!. quested that the further ceremonies Of the
final burial of the deceased might be COM
mitted to their charge.
This done, the coffin was lifted to the
hearse, over which was thrown our ma
tional banner, and the procession CON-
0 menced. The military preceded, The
0 hearse followed, and after il came the civil
authorities, the fire companies, and the
citizens generally. In this order they pro-
ceeded to the city limits, whence the
hearse proceeded, attended by those who
had it in charge, to bear the remains of
the deceased TO their last resting place.
The immense crowds that lined the streets
through which the procession passed at
tested the emotions felt by all classes Of
our citizens on the mourniul occasion.
From the city limits the body was at
tended by large number of persons in
vehicles and on horseback, to the burial
ground, lying northeast Of the city, and
distant about seven miles. This place Of
his interment was selected by Gen. Tay-
lor. 1t is upon the farm formerly the
property of his father, and still owned by
the heirs Of his deceased brother, Han
cock Taylor, Esq. The vault in which
the coffin was deposited is modest and un-
ostentatious, built for the occasion, and,
till yesterday, untenanted. Over The cof-
fin was thrown the flag Of our Union.--
May that flag ever wave the flag Of our
Union.
