VIRGINIA.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 4.

The funeral obsequies Of the late exPres-
dent johnson took place at Nashville on Satur-
day, and we're participated in by the entire pop
ulation and a number Of distinguished citizens
of Tennessee and other States. There were at
least 10000 people on the streets. All public
buildings, and large number of business
houses and private residences we're draped in
mourning. The Presidents salute, twenty ,one
guns, was fired at sunrise, from Capitol Hill,
and all the bells in the city and Eigef Id were
tolled from 7 to o'clock a. u. During the
movement of the procession minute guns we're
fired, and one every fifteen minutes through
the day, closing with the national salute of
thirty-seven guns at sunset. Elk Senator Fow-
Ter delivered the memorial address at the Cap
itol in the evening. The address was very
elaborate, requiring two hours for delivery,
and was a resume of the ex-President's private
and political history, from his childhood to the
grave.
