Burial of capt. Ilighman.

NEW HARMONY, Oct 28, 1851
EDITORS JOURNAL Sunday was a most
lovely, but very sad and sorrowful day
here; as it witnessed the committal to earth
of one Of our best and bravest citizens
The mortal remains of Capt. Highman, who
fell on Monday last in the charge Of the 1st
Indiana Cavalry, at Frederickstown, No.,
received the last tribute of earthly respect.
On Sunday the body was inferred at New
Harmony with military honors. Captain
Highman was member of the Society of
Odd Fellows, and as soon as intelligence
was receive Of his death, the Society made
srrangeIo-, &c. he burial Accordingly
John Hdgo gag dispatched TO secure the
body, who, in company with Lieut.. Owen,
brought back the body Of the deceased on
Saturday at IL O'clock Mr.. Highman was
a man who was widely known throughout
Posey county,a and the announcement that he
wouldsbe buried with military honors was
the means of collecting an immerse con-
course of people. As early as eight o'clock
in the morning crowds of people from every
direction began to congregate at the resi-
dence ofthe deceased which is 4 miles from
New HARMONY and at II o'clock an i'm
mense multitude had assembled, completely
lining the road. At o'clock the procession
started in the following order:
First came the New Harmony and Mt.
Vernon Bands, playing the Portuguese
Hymn" which was solemn and appropriate
for the occasion next came the Odd Fell
lows In full regalia; then came the cavalry
company from Mt. Vernon, part of the In
diana Legion, under command Of Captain
Miner. After these, followed the Mt. Yer
non Guard Capt. Kieter, followed by Capt.
Duckworth's Home Guards from Farmers
vile. The detachments from Mt. Vernon
brought one piece of artillery, 6-pounder.
The hearse bearing the corpse was then fol-
lowed by the bereaved widow and children.
attended by their numerous relations; then
followed the buggies and wagons, nearly q
hundred in humber and over one mile in
length. Never indeed has there been such
. concOurss of people assembled in this
county before. Mr.. Gwin, the Chaplain of
the Order, performed The ceremony, after
which the several companies were marched
in squads to the grave, discbarging their
muskets and the cannon.
The Oldest citizens remark that such
scene has never been witnessed before in
this county. And thus Capt Highmap is
numbered with the dead.

The soldiers and citizens hastily left the
cemetery and only entered the city as night
came on. There were many unavoidable
bluRders made Sunday by the officers in
charge, arising from the fact that proper
preparations had not been made in advance
and partly because the streets of the city,
where the procession was to pass, were in
many instances blocked with carriages and
horses. 1t would be difficult to estimate the
number of persons who were out last Sun
day as spectators and participants in the GER
monies of the day. We should think that
the number was not less than 10000
Others estimate 1t as high as thirteen thou
sand. Certain is it, that no such funeral
cortege ever moved through the streets of a
city in Indiana, and it is not probable that
we shall ever "look upon the like again" In
Evansville. The friends of the Sabbath,
who advocated the postponement of the
funeral until yesterday, were right in their
assertions that the day would be given up
entirely to the obsequies. From morning
until night, the whole population of the city
with the exception ofthe few hundreds, who
attended sae morning services, turned out
az for holiday and 1t was scarcely remem-
bered by any that It was the Sabbath day.
1t was proper that the funeral should take
place on Sunday, and after it was so decId-
ed, we should have been pleased to have had
sll the details Of military burial. The
absence of minute gnns marred the effect of
the whole affair. The Artillery company.
we're not ordered to Gre the customary salute
ton account of the day" This was "strain-
Ing at a knat, and swallowing a Camel
sure enough. Otherwise, everything passed
of In highly creditabls manner to all con
cerned, and the day will be long remember
ed o. all who had the good fortune to wit
ness the imposing pageant, which followed
the remains Of Major Gavitt and Charles
McLain to their narrow homes.

We have been favored by Mr.. Webb with
copy Of the New Orleans True Delta Of the
2oth, which contains the very latest inte!-
ligenee from the South.
The True Delta's leader is entitled 81 Ia
Mcclellan serous7" Commenting upon
the Intense excitement thss existed
throughout the South, on account of Nc
Clellan's advance movement, the True
Delta thinks Mcclellan designs nothing
more than to free his communications with
the sea. But if the Federal General really
designs an advance with the serious iuteu-
ton of giving battle, the True Delta
trusts, In case fortune proves propitious to
the rebels, thst better use of the victory
will be made than followed their success at
Bull Run. The True Delta says of the rebel
forces
We have an army in Virginia at this
moment numerically nearly three times as
large as Wellington ever commanded in the
Peninsular war against the French, compos-
ed too, in the main. of the most active. req
olute and intelligent, in military sense, of
the population, by this time thoroughly

has been grossly and most culpably dere-
net In ali its appointments, and a field ar
hllery full of that confidence which con-
splcuous superiority in every past encoun-
ter, cannot fail to impart
The New Orleans people are evidently
alarmed as to their own safety. They fear.
Mcclellan orlg designs keeping their mighty
army on the Potomac amused, while pow
erful expeditions will strike at exnose5
points on the coast, aud perhaps infi.t
heavy and irreparable blows in that QUAR-
ter. If this should prove to be correct, the
True Delta says "thcir sense Of disappoint-
ment and modification would be over
whelmiug."
1t may, however, be more interesting to
our readers to know what are the Delta's
opinions as to where the hard fighting is o

Es5@ The Postmaster has been so much
absorbed in his attention TO Major General
Fremonts management Of his Military De-
partmeut, that he has not provided any
postal facilities for his army A correspon-
dent of the Gazette writes of visit to the
post Office of Upton: -.f e.4
"Six barrels of letters were then awaiting
assortment, and the whole clerical orce on
hand was one man, whose educational in7
terests had been 80 far unattended 20 ia his
youth that he was scarcely possessed of the
Dogberrian qualifications of reading and
writing"
We copy the above from the Cincinnati
Commercial of the 25th inst. We are sat
isfed that the Post Master General is moi
charReable with the failure to provide the
necessary postal facilities for the army. He
has endeavoFed to give the soldiers in the
army the most ample facilities, and if the
officers of the army would call the attention
of the Department or its special agents to
any neglect, we are sure it would be apeedi-
" rectifed. We will guarantee that no
complaints will be made by the army in
Kentucky. Messrs Miller aud MARYLAND,
the special agents of the Post Office Depart
ment in that State, are giving the subject
their special attention. Any irregularities
of the malls in that State should be pro!npt-
ly reported to them iu Louisville, Ky.
