REMAINS OF MAJ. GEN. MCPHERSON
IN NASHVILLE.
ImposIng military Display

The funeral of Mai. Gen. James B. McPher-
son on yesterday was one of the most imposing
military displays that Nashville has ever wit
messed. The ovation was a deserved one, for
lew men held higher position in the esteem
OF the country, and nearer position to the
hearts OF his men than Gen. Mcpherson. At
the time of his death he was Brigadier Gen
eral in the regular army, and a Majsr General
Of volunteers. He was killed in a reconnois-
sance near Atlanta, by fatal shot through the
heart, 1t Is supposed from the rife of some
| rebel sharpshOoter.
The body of this gallant and il.fated officer
was received here, at the Chattanooga depot,
early IN the morning, and was received by the
lOLh tennessee and the 9th U. s. artillery
and cavalry regiment. The order of the
| procession was as follows: First came the cav
airy, then the 10th Tennessee, with the band of
the 18th U. s. regulars. Next came several
oihcers not known to us, including a major
general. Next came the band of the 10th Ten
nessee, followed by the lst Middle Tennessee
guards. The U. 5. 5th artillery, with their
splendid batteries, came next before the hearse,
where was the coffin of the illustrious dead,
covered with the national flag. Following the
hearse came the pall-bearers, with Grape upon
their arms and swords. Among them were
several brigadier generals.
Next came the rderless horse of the dead
nero, led by attendants. The empty boots
with the useless spurs, were placed in the stir
rups, and the splendid animal seemed to chafe
and fret that his master no longer occupied the
saddle. A hack came next with Gen. McPher-
sons staff. After the carriages rode large
number of commissioned officers who are sta
TONED in the city, and who Joined the proces.
sion to pay their tribute of respect to the dead
hero. These were followed by the carriages of
