Gen. J. Il. B. Stuart hurled in
Richmond.

From the Richmond Enquirer, May l4,l
The funeral of this much lamented and
brave General took place yesterday after
noon at five o'clock, from st. James
Church, corner Of Marshall and Fifth
streets
AT the appointed hour the cortege ap-
peared in front OF the church, and the me-
talic coffin containing the remains Of the
noble soldier whose now silent voice had
so often startled the enemy with his stir
ring battle-cry, was carried down the CEN
tire aisle and placed before the altar
Wreathes and a cross of evergreen, inter-
woven with delicate lilies of the valley,
laurel, and other flowers of purest white,
decked the coffin.
The pal-bearers were Gen. Bragg, Maj.
Gen, McCown, Gen. Chiffon, Bngadier
Gen. Lawton, Commodore Forrest, Capt.
Lee, of the navy, and Gen. George w.
Randolph, formerly Secretary of War.
The scene was sad and impressive
President Davis sat near the front, with a
look of grief upon his care-worn face his
Cabinet officers were gathered around,
while on either side were the Senators
and Representatives of the Confederate
Congress. Scattered through the church
were number of Generals and other Of
fcers of less ranh--amoLg the former
Ransom, commanding the Department OF
Richmond. Hundreds of sad faces wit
messed the scene but the brave Fitz Lee,
and other war-wearied and war-worn men
whom the dead Sualt had so often led
where the red battle was fercest. and who
would have given their lives for his, were
away in the fight, doubtless striking with
double courage as they thought of their
fallen General
No military escort accompanied the
procession, but the hero was laid in his last
resting place on the hillside, while the
earth trembled with the roar of artillery,
and the noise Of the deadly strife of arm
ies--the one bent upon desecrating and
devastating his native land, and the other
proudly and de6antly standing in the path
and invoking the blessing OF Heaven up
on their cause, to fight in better cheer for
the memory of such as Stonewall Jack
son and j E. B. Stuart
