THE ASSEMBLING.
Early yesterday morning, long before the time
announced for the removal of the remains, thou
sands of our people could be seen vending their
way, in the face of q stiff norther, towards the
Central wharf, whilst every few minutes the
throng increased in numbers. About hali-past
nine O'clock the hearse, decorated with black
plumes, and having its sides appropriately draped
made its appearance. This was the signal for the
crowd to close up together, and the coffin was
removed from its resting place to the hearse by
the Legislative Committee and the pall-bearers
composed OF our citizens
THE START.
The hearse slow ly commenced to move off, and
without any one directing the multitude formed
o column by twos and marched behind Along
the Strand and Centre street hundreds of ladies
and children were waiting to take their place in
the procession, and for while we thought they
were doomed to disappointment, SO many males
moving in the line at march and there did
not appear to be any one willing TO make room
for them. They however, moved ON the side
walk parallel with those in the street. On every
corner hundreds were standing, and as they saw
the opportunity would take their places in the
procession. The route of the cortege Was up
Centre street. then along Market street to the de-
pot OF the Galveston and Houston railroad.
THE HALT.
When the procession reached fremont street,
it halted, and the ladies had place assigned
them directly behind the legislative committee,
who were following the hearse 1t requires no
little effort to walk in the middle of our sandy
streets. On plod our fair and noble women
slowly, but happily, never seeming to have q
care about the fierce cold wind blowing at the
time, or the sand through which they were wa
ding ankle deep. Never before did Galveston
witness such scene. Ladies and children, who
would not have ,red to venture out in the cold
on any other occasion, turned out to pay
respect and do homage to the illustrious dead
And it was BETTING tribute to departed worth,

we felt OIL this particular occasion, such sight
served to encourage every one, inasmuch as it

the human heart, and proper display of self-rc-
spect always admissible on such occasions, and
which will continue to be seen, in proportion to
the opposition made against the wishes and rights
OF the people enacted by dctested military des-
potism.
SCENES AT THE DEPOT.
When the head of the column reached the de-
pot, the rear of it was just turning Centre street,
and the whole width of the street, for that dis
lance, was packed with the Seething mass of hu-
man beings. We could not form estimate of
the number of persons engaged in this ovation,
and We are sure We are not eNaggerating, when
we declare thousands participated in the sad fll-
neral rites. The cars and engine were beautifully
drapcd in mourning, and soon the pail
bearers had placed the remains i'll the car the la

glimpse of the remains of him who had uobiy

would soon be as free as the people OF the North.
