FROM THE CAPITOL TO THE DEPOT.
All Washington and thousands of people
from the neighboring States seemed to be on
the streets early in the afternoon. From
Sixth street, leading to the Baltimore h Poto-
mac depot to the crest of the hill surmcunted
by the pile under whose dome lay the illustri-
Gus dead, was one living mass of human be-
ings There were thousands upon thousands of
vehicles of every description disputing the
places OF the crowds Of pedestrians, and the
police force, both mounted and footmen, were
kept busy to the point Of desperation in sup
pressing the tireless impulses of the specta-
tors to tread upon the forbidden vantage
ground to view the procession. The parks
and walks in the east front of the capito! were
covered with solid acres of people and car
riages, aud to add to the intense activity of the
scene the troops who were to form the escort
to the train began to arrive and counter march
on the open space within the ropes long before
it was time to begin the ceremonies within
By 2:3O o'clock the commands were in line,
and stood waiting till nearly 4, while the relig-
ious observances were taking place. Atlsst the
bier appeared in the great doorway, and the
sad procession began to file down the grand
stairway to the p:;emeut. where the hearse
stood waiting to receive the remains. be
spectators had been warned Of the close of the
ceremonies within, for the officers Of the army
and navy. had come out a moment first and
taken their places in double lines near the
hearse, and

and Gen. Amos Webster and staff,
Of the militia. Tho same order
was preserved and tie same commands
participated as on the previous occasion when

slowly to the sound Of muf1ied drums, with

down the hill to the south of the capitol. The
