General Swain, Colonies Rockwell and Cor

Young, who remained with the patient du-
ring his removal TO The derOt. lie was re-
| clining in peaceful position on the bed
upon which for so many days he has been
suffering and fighting for life. His right
hand was laid upon his breast, while his
left arm was stretched at full length
upon the cOyerlet. His high forehead was
covered by linen cloth, and his features,
though emaciated, were patient and
resigned in expression. A small platform
had been erected from the portico to the
wagon, and across this the bed was ten.
DERBY and carefully carried and deposited in
! the wagon. There was no mShap whatever
| in the transit, and when the horses were
| hitched TO the vehicle and started at $50
| for the depot q feeling Of relief took pos
session OF the byslanders, for. 10 the Opin.
ion OF many, the most perllous portion Of
| the Journey had been accomplished. The
conveyance was preceded to the del0t by
carriages conveying the remainder OF the
party which was 10 accompany The
| President TO Long Branch. As the
cxpreSs-wagOn moved away from the Tx.
ecutlYe Mansion the President feebly but
cbeerily lifted bis left hand and waved
! farewell TO the inmates OF the house who
had assembled on the porch TO wish him
GOd-speed on his journey. The wsgOn
was then drawn slowly through the grounds
of The mansion and down PenDsy lyania
avenue to the Baltimore and Potomac
depot, the horses at 30 time being driven
| faster than a walk. At the head Of each
horse walked a man ready to assume con-
troll Of the animals in case Of need. The
ride to the de(0t was accomplished without
| any incident worthy OF note.
AN ORDERLY But ASXIOUs CROWD.
The crowd which followed was or
DERBY and aDXious-anXOus not only
for the safe transportation OF the patient,
but also to catch a glimpse Of his face.
This il was not difficult 10 do, as the cur
tains Of the wagon were pulled up to enable
the President TO breathe the pure morning
air, which at that hour had not become sui
Itry. The deU0t being reached, the horses
were detached from the wagon, which was
backed I'D to the car selected for the re-
movsl OF the President, and the same gen.
tlemen who bad before performed the duty
Of transferring the patient from re White
| House to the wagon executed their difficult
| task OF removing him from the wagon TO
/
the railroad car.
| Though they met with some slight diff
Guilty in doing this, owing to the fact that
! the floor OF the car was rather high, the
delicate task was performed successfully
and without appearing to disturb the pa
| tienl. When inside The car he was trans
| ferred from the bed on which he had
been carried thus far, and placed upon
spring bed which bad already been pre-
pared for his reception.
The crowd was very quiet and orderly,
| and the transfer Of the President from the
conveyance IN which he rode to the combi-
nation ear was watched in silence and with
apparent solicitude, lest some accident
might occur. The President appeared
greatly emaciated, and bis face, though thin
and caTeWorn, seems natural Al the depot,
and after the President had been placed
upon his couch i'm the ear, General Swain
said the patient had not been disturbed or
disquieted in the least by the journey, but,
on the contrary, seemed 10 enjoy the rae.
