The late Colonel James II. Branch.
= ,,,v aze-7oss4 = RICHMOND, July 5, 1863.
Alta meeting of the Walker candidates
for the General Assembly in the Richmond
District held this day it was unanimously
Resolued, In the universal grief of the
true people of this community and State
over the untimely death of Colonel James
R. Branch his associates as candidates for
the Legislature most profoundly share.
AS fellow-citiZens we appreciated his
manly bearing, his generous impulses, his
high integrity, his ardent patriotism, his
unconquerable spirit but as his most in
innate companions in the great struggle for
freedom, in which his useful life was lost,
the dread visitation has bowed our hearts
with sense Of personal and peculiar be-
reavement, as we realize that we have lost the
foremost of our little band-the ablest, the
most sagacious.
With his public and private virtues as a
citizen and man all are acquainted. The
solemn sympathies of a city in mourning at
test how strongly his solid worth laid hold
of the peoples heart. But none realized as
thoroughly as we did his devoted service to
our great cause, his unselfsh ardor, the
boundless fertility of his resources, his in
domitable courage, his perfect faith, and
the noble zeal, with which he accepted all
duties, all Responsiveness, ana all lolis,
whose end was the deliverance of his be-
loved Virginia. And IL, in the counsels of
that wisdom which is infinite, and that love
which is limitless, the day of his death were
ordained, we could not have asked nobler
fate for our lamented friend than that his
gallant, generous life should end with a
sacred effort to inaugurate peace between
the races in his native State. 49,.
RESOLVED, That we extend to the family Of
our late friend thus suddenly and severely
bereft our deepest sympathy. s
Resolred, That in respect to our late
friends memory we viii wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.

Nor DEAD, AFTER Ally yesterday morn
ing somebody started rumor that Peter
Campbell, one of the colored men injured
by the Vauxhall accident, was dead, A no
boards, his grave was dug, a handsome cof-
fin was sent to his house, near the old nitre
beds, and everywhere were heard expires,
sions of regret over the untimely end Of the
first colored Conservative martyr of the pre-.
sent campaign. In the afternoon, however,
it was discovered that all the preparations
for burying Peter were premature. He was
alive and doing well, and declared he had
no idea of dying, but hoped to go to the
polls to-day and vote the straight Walker
ticket, as all other sensible men of his race

The FUNERAL OF COLONEL JAAEs Is.
BRANcH-AccIDENT AND 1NcIDENTs.-The
largest funeral procession ever Witnessed IN
Richmond followed the remains Of Colonei
James r. Branch to the, grave on Sunday
last. AN hour before the time appointed
for the funeralSt. PauPs church was crowd
ed to orerflowing hundreds We're gathered
in front Of the building, and as many more
assembled at the residence of the deceased,
No. 1910 Broad street. Besides the thou
sands of citizens who informally followed
the hearse, there was a delegation Of about
one hundred and fifty men from Petersburg.
The members Of the Corn and Flour Ex-
change, the Tobacco Exchange, and of the
Conservative Statesnd City Committees, also
came out in full force, wearing the usual
badges Of mourning. a''ef i5Tss ,Ers.'
Not one-ffth of the crowd was able to
gain admittance to the church, and the
throng about the doors was SO great that
the stone tagging Of the vestibule gave
away. This accident created a great deal of
excitement, but, although about twenty per-
sons fell through the gap, no one was severely
injured. The Chief Of Police, with his
usual promptitude, was quickly on the
spot. The wounded having been sent to a
surgeons, good order was soon restored.
at the church the burial service of the
Episcopal Church was read by Rev. DIR.
Mnnigerode after which, Rev. DIR. Dun
can made an eloquent and appropriate ad-
dress, paying high tribute to the character
Of the deceased. and speaking words Of
hope and consolation to- the bereayed rela-
tiyes and friends Several other ministers
were present in the congregation. We OBJ
served Rev. DIR. Baird, OF the Presby yterian
Church Rev. Bishop Doggett and Rev. DR..
Bennett, of the Methodis and Rev. james
r. and George 3. ,Tayior. of the Baptist
Church. -sg.gtg,rrs
At about o'clock the procession moved
off from the church. There were about
eighty vehicles in line, and two or three
thousand persons marched to the cemetery
in line. For many squares the sidewalks,
too. were thronged with sympathiZing
spectators, and several hundred ladies and
| gentlemen awaited ut Hollywood the arri5al
Of the cortege. Here the body was Inferred,
the handsome metallic burial-case being
literally covered to a depth ofseyeral inches
A delegation Of the Colored Walker Club
Of this city, headed by the elder Hobson,
the well-known Tweifth street barber, at
tended the funeral and folio we'd the body
to the grave, ,It.Was sad sight, and one
| that made us more fully sensible than before
of the bigotry and ignorance Of the body
of the negro voters, to see this band of in
dependent freemen jeered and abused, as
they passed along, by Radical negroes. Ne
gro boys weremade to throw sticks atthem
and to offend them with all manner of in
sulting remarks. The same persecution was
| visited upon Abram Hall, the colored man
who disloeated mis- collar-bone In trying to
save Colonel Branch and others from drown
ing, and who occupied buggy in the line
OF the procession.

The FUNERAL OF AsHBY-A TOUCHING
TRIBUTE TO THE DECEAsED.-The funeral
services Of Robert Ashby were held at the
Leigh-Street Baptist church at II O'Clock.
| The house was thronged, while many We're
unable to obtain admission. Rev. A. T..
Dickinson delivered an. eloquent and appro-
pirate discourse from the seth psalm and 9th
Yerse-"I was dumb; opened not my
mouth, because thou didst it." We give his
closing remarks: --
"Among those whose lives were lost on
last Friday was Robert Ashby, whose body
| lies before YOU. Though the summons that
called him into the spirit world was so
sudden, we have reason to believe that 1t
found him fully prepared. He was one OF
the many who have Of late been gathered
| into this church, He at once became an
earnest, active Christian. The altar was
erected in his family, and morning and
night, to his last day on earth, he would
gather his little family around him and sup
plicate the blessings of Heaven upon them,
In this sanctuary, too, his voice was ire
quently heard in prayer and in eXhortatlon'
He was, indeed, a burning and shining
light. If sthe steps of good man
are. ordered by the Lord then was
this good man guided by the. unerring
hand Of God to that fatal spot. And if all
things work together for good to them that
love God,' this event, which has clothed
our city in mourning, has brought to him
the greatest of all blessings, even life ever.
lasting. 1t only remains for U.S.. brethren
and friends, to be resigned to the will OF
God, as it has been made known in this ter
rible calamity, and instead of repining or
indulging in idle speculations, to be dumb,
opening not our mouths, because the Lord
| hath done it, Such occurrences as that
which has just broken SO many hearts have
their uses in the divine administration.
They teach us SO strikingly that there is but
one step between usand the grave, and that
that step may be taken when we little ex:
pect it. If of the thousands who lament
| the falling of that bridge even two or three
should be led by it to prepare to meet God,
TO give themselves to Christ, then, through
the ages of eternity, there will be JOY over
that which now fills every true heart with
sadness" },sE.I &. ( l.as 1e !.
3 After the service, a; long procession fol
lowed the body to 0akwood, where it was
committed to its mother dust amid scenes
the most, touching. Every person present
seemed to be moved by the most profound
sorrow. = 81 f, s, - s,,,ss.i..s s5eif.s tss- IS
