tFrom the Richmond Enquirer, M-yAl
oEr. JEB sTUAHT BURIED IN RcHMOsD.
The funeral Of this much lameuted General
took place yesterday from St. JAmes's church.
At the appointed hour the cortege appearer in
front OF the church, and the metallic coffin
containing the remains OF the noble soldier
whose now silent voice had so often startled
the enemy with bis stirring battle cry, was
carried down the centre aisle aud placed before
the altar. Wreathes and cross of evergreen,
Interviewer with delicate lilies OF the valley,
laurel and other flowers of the purest white,
decked the CONN. The pall.b were Cen
eral Bragg, Major General MoCown, General
hilton, Brigaoier General LAwtOn, Commo-
dore Forrest, Captain Lee, OF the navy, aud
General George W. Randolph, formerly secre-
tary OF War.
President Davis sat near the front, with a
| look Of grief upon his careworn face; bis Cab
met officers were gathered around him, while
on either aide were the Senators and Represen-
tatives OF the Confederate Congress. Scat
| tered through the church were a number of
generals and other officers Of less rank. Hun
| dreds of sad faces witnessed the scene; but the
| brave FitE Lee and other war-wearied and war
worn men, whom the dead Stuart had 80 often
led where the red batrle was frrcest, and who
would have given their lives for his, were away
In the fight, doubtless striking with a double
| courage as they thought Of their fallen geurral.
The short service was read by DR.. Peterkin,
funeral anthem sung, and the remains were
carried out and placed in the hearse, which
proceeded to Hollywood Cemetery followed by
long train of carriages.
HOW 0ES. STUART WAS KILLED.
| The Richmond Enqubsr, 10 its account OF
Gen. sheridau's raid, says: Gems. Stuart and
4 Fltz Lee came up with the enemy al Yellow
| Tavern, but, being terribly outuum bered, thy
managed to maintain their ground and inaict
heavy loss upon the enemy. Here, In one OF
those desperate charges, at the head of charg-
ing colu nn, the gallant and chivalrous Stuart
fell, mortuly WOunded-an irreparablo loss to
| our cause.
| In this engagement our loss was pretty Sc
we're. Col. II. Clay Pate and Lieut.. Col. Rob-
ert Randolph were also kilIec-both of them
brave and accomplished officers. Col Henry
Clay Pate was q native of Western Virginia.
He gained some distinction for gallantry as q
partisan leader In Kansas during the troubles
which attended the formation Of government
for that Territory.
