CITIZENS GENERALLY.

CARRIAGES AND MOUNTED MEN.
In this order. to the solemn music Of
the Stonewall Band. the procession J
miles long, moved to the Cemetery. The
appearance Of the procession, winding up
the circular walks of Thornrose Cemetery
and extending as far back as the eye could
reach, was grandly beautiful. The bright
uniforms OF the FIRE Companies, the ladies
enveloped in flowers the children aud the
numerous colored people on each side form
ed a picture worthy of the sacred day
that caused the gathering. Attic Ceme-
terry, the procession was marched under an
arch having the following beautiful in
scription -
.sHow sleepthe brave who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest''-
and around the various walks, until all
were filed. Then. the Bands at the same
time playing solemn dirge, the graves Of
our loved and honored dead were strewn
with flowers and watered with the tears of
the fair women for whom they died. An
hour was spent in this holy work. The
procession then moved back to town; the
Fire Companies were escorted to their en-
CINE house and-the sad, the mournfully
pleasant duties ofthe day We're ended.
Nothing occurred to mar the harmony
and good order Of the occasion. At eleven
clock all business was suspended in the
town. the stores and work shops were closed
aud Numbers Of the colored people ceased
their labor to follow the procession. At
least 1000 persons were in the procession
and hundreds were kept from attending:
by the threatening appearance Of the
weather. It is asingular coincidence that
it was just such u day as the 10th Of 667
The Heavens seem to be draped in mourn
ing. until the sacred services were over,
when the sun broke fourth with unusual
splendor, as if Providence smiled upon the
work that was just finished.

WHITE COUNTY.

= e =
p A friend at Carmi furnishes the
Following relative to the prospect of
the crops in White County:
There was much larger breadth
of wheat sown in this county last Fall
than usual. and the yield will be
greater. From present prospects,
therewi be a surplus of from eighty
to one hundred thousand bushels of
wheat raised in this county this year.
The corn is of course backward, but
looks as we'll as could be expected,
and with favorable weather the ball
ance of the season, we will have a
good yield. More acres have been
planted this year than former sea-
sons, and we expect the surplus to be
large. The tobacco is now being
planted, but There viii mot be as.
much of that product as usual, on
account of the backward season and
the want of plants" - ss-t
''-''''N,A MAssAc COUNTY, {. lar
Under date of June 14th, a friend
writes from Metropolis, Illinois:
1.-THE prospect for wheat was never
more fattering in this. county than at,
present, and sfrena the Best inferma- !
donF scan get, there is about one fifth
moro land being cultivated in wheat
than last year, when the crop was al
most an entire failure. The Spring,
however, has been a very cold and
wet one, and our farmers are not yet
through planting corn. but from what
I can learn, full crop will be in cul-
tivation, and so far, though backward,
the prospect is fatfering. Tobacco is
not yet planted, but double the
amount will be planted this year over
any former season"
