TuE FUNERAL or Mas. Rose GREEN.

Hundreds Of ladies lined the wharf at

tide Of visitors, women and children,
with streaming eyes, and soldiers, with
bent heads and hushed steps, standing
10y, paying the last tribute of respect to
the departed heroine. On the bier,
draped with magnificent Confederate
flag, lay the body, SO unchanged as to
look like calm sleeper, while above all
rose the tall ebony Cruciiix emblem Of
the faith she embraced in happier hours,
and which, we humbly trust, was her
consolation in passing through the dark
waters of the river of death. She lay
there until two O'Clock of Sunday after
noon, when the body was removed to the
Catholic Church of St Thomas. Here
the funeral Grafton was delivered by the
Rev. DR. CurcOran, which was touching
tribute to the herolsm and patriotic de-
