Confederates and Fsderais-An H.
terresiing Incident or Decoration
Day In Mobile.
The Mobile Register of Tuesday
gives the following account OF the
presentation OF flowers by Federal OF
ficers during the celebration in honor
of the Confederate dead in that city on
Monday. 1t says: Several United
States army officers advanced TO tie
base OF the monument, upon which
Admiral Semmes stood, and Colonel
Wickersham, in the uame Of the Of
fcers and soldiers of the United States
army resident here, presented the Ad-
miral with an exquisite floral offering.
Colonel Wickersham said g
This floral offering is rendered with
the kindly and sympathetic greetings
OF surviving Federal soldiers, resident
in Mobile, who ihonor the brave and
heroic dead of the late war. and desire
your acceptance OF the same a. an
humble tribute to valor and unseltsh
devotion TO a cause held dearer than
life. Fresh be the memory OF those
Under the sod and the dew,
Awaiting the JUDGMENT day,
Under the one The blue,
Under the other the gray.
Admiral Semmes received it with
much feeling, and thanked the donors.
Speaking with much emotion he re-
piled:
In the name OF the people OF the
South, here assembled. | accept, with
pleasure, this offering of soldiers to
the memory OF departed soldiers. IL
is typical and suggestive. 1t comes
from the victor to the vapquished, IN q
spirit worthy OF our age and our MS
tory, and is indicative that the STRIFE
between brethren is over. 1t comes
from soldier TO soldier as salute oil
honor. And what is more important
still, it comes from Americans 70
Americans; from Americans oil the
North to Americans of the South, as q
pledge that in the future there shall De
no more North and no more South
except in the way Of generous rivalry
When the pang Of the battle IS over
when the day is lost or won. when the
gallant dead on the one side or the
other, shrouded in their CORY wind
ipe.sbeets OF honor, are sleeping in then
narrow and lonely tombs, what specta.
Gle more beautiful and touching, coulo
tn. angels look down upon, than tina
which we witness here to-dsy-th'
.pectscle of the surviving soldier Of
great civil conflict, bringing his tribute
Of flowers and laying it at the foot o
the monument erected to the memory
OF his dead brother, who has died oI
bis hand. The perfume OF thos'
sweet flowers, Federal soldiers is TIT
NOR. sweet, as coming from you
hands. 1t will surely be taken up D.
our gentle south winds, and waited L
YOUR homes in the North and West
as an emphatic declaration on YOU
part, that, as between soldier and SOL
der, al least, the War between th'
States ia at an end.

BISHOP WHITEHOUSE,

L painful rumor perraded the city last even
ing that Bishop Wlitchouse. the head Of the
Episcaral Diocese Of Illinois, WAS in dying
condition. 4 TRIBUNE messenger Was accordingly
dispatched to his residence, at No. AS West
Washington street, to ascertain the facts in the
case. 4 very brief interview with the Bishops
son seemed to show that he WIGS in no danger.
though still dangerously ILL., It Was thought, so
Dir. y. F. Whitenouse said, that the danger Was
pnst and that tha Bishop would no doubt re-
cover.
Upon visit to Canon Knowles. upon Ran
dolph street, the Bishops trusted assistant,
it was learned that Mr.. Knowles had been s,lnl-
moned hastily from Peoria on the day before, By
dispatch announcing the illness Of his supen-
or. He had been at the Bishops bedside until
about o'clock, and had lett it with little hope
Of his survival till morning. Hia attack was pa
Ialysis OF the brain, resulting apparently from
hard work long protracted. He Has now 20
years OF age. and within very short time the
Canon remembered hearing him stats he had
preached fifteen sermons within ten days.
The present attack seemed like that sudden
breaking down OF the system which comes With
out warning upon almost all who reach Ills age.
Il was very much like the sudden failing in Sem
ator Sumncrs case. Mr. Knowles at o'clock
IN the evening was just returning to the Bsh-
ops bedside, and frankly Stated that he had
Irtle hope Of his survival.
Toward midnight however, the condition of
the Bishop sensibiy improved. and his physicians
expressed the hope that the crisis was over, and
tha. there WAS at least no immediate danger OF
his death.
