The New Orleans Picayunc, of
Thursday, has a glowing and very
touching account OF the removal OF
the remains Of the gallant officer
named abovc-the hero chieftain of
the Confederate army, in the South
and the Southwest. We must en-
deavor 70 condcnsc the Picny res ac-
count OF the ceremonies.
The State OF Texas had sent q
committee for the purpose of super
intending the removal. Both Ken
lucky, the State Of his nativity, and
Louisiana, where his remains were
first deposited, had hoped to main tain
thc guardianship of them, brt neither
could fairly enter into competition
with Texas, OF which State he had be-
como citizen; to which hc was at
tsched by ihc ties OF q heightened
residence, and in whose behalf he had
drawn the sword he was always ready
to wicld III defence Of liberty and
right. The Picayuae says the majori-
ty of those IN the procession we're Of
the gentler sex, who strcwed flowers
upon the heio's coffin, and who, ever
since, nave tended his tomb with
pious care Speaking of tic prucl5-
