THE OBsEQUIEs AT CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, May 2.
Until a late hour last night crowds con-
tinued to pass through the Court House in
an increasing stream. Many who came to
see the remains of the late President, were
unable 10 on account of the pressure. Du-
ing the afternoon and evening large body
of singers we're retained in the rotunda,
and performed appropriate pieces Of sacred
music.
Up TO late hour to-day, long lines of
people have been moving towards the
Court House, entering door bearing the
inscription, Illinois Clasps to her bosom
her slain but glorifed son and retiring
BY one on the other side, surmounted by
the words: The beauty of Israel is slain
upon high places"
Grouped around the coffin were ever
greens and the choicest flowers, vases filled
with roses, crosses of white flowers, Greek
CROSS of white c&meliss, with green back
ground, resting on white satin, on the lid
of the coffin, a Greek urn, filed with
flowers, and q wreath of csmeliss and
white lilies bedded in evergreens, resting
on the foot of the coffin, and interspersed
among all these were rare bouquets of
white flowers, wreaths of flowers and
wreaths of evergreens and moses.
Business was entirely suspended here
yesterday, and is only partially resumed.
It is everywhere admitted that never be-
fore has Chicago seen day to compare
with that of yesterday, in the overwhel-
ming solemnity of the occasion which
thronged the thcroughfsres. In surprising
splendor, the day could not be compared
with any other that ever dswned upon the
city. No public bereavement was
ever 30 deeply felt by the public
Not only citizens from distant parts of
Illinois, but nAny from adjacent
States have come here to take their last
farewell of the truly lsmented dead. The
vigwsm IN which Abraham Lincoln was
first nominated to the Presidency, the first
story of which is occupied as stores, posses
ses much interest to all visitore, and the
erection OF an immense wooden structure
for holding the Sanitary Fair in, reminds
us of the fact that President Lincoln hsC
partly promised to be present at the open
ing. All party division and party spirit
has been entirely oblitersted by the sac
event which caused the heart of the nstior
| to throb heavily at the portals of the tomb

The Herald's correspondent says Davis
remained in Danville six days under the
greatest suspense, failing to hear from Lee
who was expected to reach that place, and
make the Stsunton river his line Of defence
The news Of his surrender finally came,
brought in by scouts, but was disbelieyed.
It was kept secret however IS long IS pos
sible, and when it became known there
was q panic, The next morning there
was 3 general exodus. Stonemen's men
were between Dsnvills and Greensboro,
and they fred on the train that carried
Davis and his cabinet away.
The Hersld's correspondent says the ar
mics of Georgia and the Tennessee, COM
manded respectfully by Generals Slocum
and Howard, were under orders on the
2ath ult. to move north ria Richmond to
Alexandria, where they will be disbsnded
or sent to more important and active fields
OF the rebellion, If any can be said to exist.
The Times Washington special says in
the further progress of the preliminary
examinations rs to the assassination con-
spirscy, arrests are constantly being made,
and thus far the whole number taken in
custody will reach nearly three hundred.
The trial Of these conspirHtors will be
commenced, however, before a military
Commission, and if on this hearing the
same facts are brought out that have been
disclosed in the preliminary examination
the magnitude OF the plot will astonish
the whole country.
1t is not true, rs reported that Harold
has been tried. His trial is set for to-mor-
row.
Lieutenant Doherty, who commanded
the detachment of the 10th New York
Cavalry that assisted in the capture of

Wade Hampton was the only General VINO
refused to be included in Johuston's sur
render. Johnston promptly relived him

The steamer Guiding Star hss arrived
from New Orleans on the 25th and HA-
vana on the 2sth ult p
The destEption of the re bel ram Webb
is fully cOnfEmed. She passed New Or
leans under heavy fire of our war vessels,
the LsckRwans sending 250-pound shot
through her bows.
Only one vessel (the Hollyhock, Lieu
tenant Commander Ghersrdi,) was ready
to follow, which kept close on the track of
the Webb until tWenty-eight miles below
the city. The rebel saw the sloop-of-wsr
Richmond ready for action, and turned for
shore. The Hollyhock going straight at
her, the Webb's officers and crew fred her
in several places and fed into the swAmps.
The boats from the Hollyhock boarded her
were unable to put out the flames from the
infsmmsbls nature of the cargo.
The Webb was armed with thirty-three
guns, one thirty-pounder.
here were two hundred and seventeen
bales of cotton and some turpentine aboard
the ram.
1t seems the pilot of the Richmond
knew the Webb. Three Of her crew have
given themselves up.

gunboat Hodges came out of Pea river on

force. Colonel Sprsgue LETT Cairo on the
gunboat Lexington for the purpose of meet
ing the Hodges at the mouth Of Red river,
and there can be little doubt that Kirby
Smith has surrendered his entire force.
The terms of surrender are the same that
Grant profered to Lee.
The Lexington and Hodges were ct last
accounts at Hog Point, few miles below
the mouth of Red river.
The surrender of the rebel Secretary
Mallory at Pensacola is confirmed.
Eight millions of greenbscks had arrived

much more was on the way.
Claiborne, Ala, has been occupied by our
cavalry, under General Lucas, after VIC

Secession or RevOIutIOn:---EDgIand's
last Hama in nTsunfOu

From the London Times April IT.
We must now wait for whkt
nothing but time can teach us-the solu-
ton Of the great problem Of secession.
Has this terrible drama been simply war,
or is it q revolutions If it is \ war, the
end must be nsar-if, indeed, it has not
been reached slready-for, beyond the
feeble force under Johnston at Raleigh and
the remnant of the Richmond garrison un-
der Lee the South has no organized ar
mics in the field, nor is it probable that any
can be raised. The stage Of the great
struggle has been accomplished. The
North, by its determined win, and lately,
it should be added, by the excellence of its
generals, has overcome the South, has de-
feated its armies and occupied its principal
towns. 1t has had far greater difficulty in
doing 80 than was at first anticipated, and
it appeared, indeed, st times, as if even
this portion of the work could never be sc
complished at all But if the exhaustion
consequent on this protrscted struggle
should terminate the resistance of the
South altogether, it may be fortunate for
the North that Richmond was not esptur-
ed till the fifth yesr of the war. When
President Davis declared thstif Richmond
were taken the war could be prolonged for
twenty years in Virginia sloc g, he was
speculating, perhaps, on resources which
five desperate campaigns may have fatally
reduced The confederscY, which for five
years has proved so Unexpectedly strong
and resOlute, may now prove unexpectedly
powerless and despondng. In that event
the work Of the North will be easy; but if
we have now arrived at the end, not Of g
war, but of the first stage of 3 political rev.
oluLion, the real troubles of the North ara
but Just beginning. A few more months
will disclose the scene, sndit would be use
less to anticipate the spectacle by eonjec-
ture or prediction. We can only admire
the heroism of the combstants while We
deplore the carnage; but what so dreadful
q strife may ultimately bring forth it is
| impossible to imagine.

The rumors of reconstruction Of the
Cabinet are decidedly premature. Very
prsbably Mr. Stanton may withdraw from
the Cabinet. Possibly Messrs. Seward and
Welles may do SO, though our diplomatic
relations are still, and for some time to
come will be, SO intricate that we cannot
well afford to spare Mr.. Seward. But the
statement that Mr.. King, or Mr.. Adams,
or Mr.. Forney or any body else will take
seats in the Cabinet is the merest specu-
lation

An Iowa paper has the following story,
which recalls the incidents OF Tennyson's
poem:
Thirty months sgo Germsn, living on
White street. in Dubuque, Iowa, volunteer
ed with the rwenty-hrst lows infantry
and went to the war We shall call him
Schmidt for short. He left wife who was
rather good looking, quite industrious, very
frugal, and childless. Time rolled on, and
Schmidt, Gays the the DIALOGUE Times, went
with his regiment to Vicksburg. There he
was shot one dsy and was left for dead on
the field. The sad intelligence was sent to
his wife by his captain, and she Immediate
" obtained the assistance Of lawyer, se-
cured his back pay and widows pension
She drew the latter regularly, and, with
what she earned, managed to live comfort
ably. In few months she attracted the
attention of one Schones, miller by occu-
patton. BE wooed and won, and for him
she gave up the pension. They were mar
ried last summer. The course of true love
ran smooth with them until lsst Saturday
morning, when, Just after they had finish
ed breakfast, Mr.. Schmidt the first hus-
band, opened the door and walked in
Here was 8 ixl Mrs.-whst would
her name be in such case2-shrieked;
Mr.. Schones turned pale and trembled, for
Schmidt looked vengeance after he had
surveyed the scene moment and taken sll
its meaning in. After several minutes Of
silence, Schones revived, and boldly asked,
What is to be done2' Schmidt sat down
and told his sterv. He was wounded, not
severely, near Vicksburg, and taken pris-
oner, and the rebels carried him away with
them. From time to time he had been in
Southern prisons until thres weeks since,
when be was exchanged. He came to
Dubuque as soon as he could, and hsstened
to his home. He received no intimstiOn Of
his wifes marriage until he entered the
house that morning. As he concluded his
story, his feelings Overcsme him, no wept,
and she wept also. But it sll ended in the
second husbands refusal to give the wife
up. She, we are informed, refused to ex-
press preference, and said the two men
might settle the matter between them
selves For four days both men kept very
close to the house, and had many ardent
discussions over their difficulty. But the
matter ended on Wednesday last The
returned husband offered SchOnes twenty
five dollars TO evacuate the premises and
leave him in possession of "Annie." He
accepted the, offer, pocketed the money and
left. Schmidt is now with his wife.
