ONE of the most impressive parts of
the memorable demonstration In New
York on Thursday in honor of the dead
hero, was the rendition of that famous
air, Marching Through Georgia." by
Gilmore's Band, in the form of a dirge.
The grand melody thus given in the
slow and measured time of a funeral
march is described as very touching,
and many eyes moistened as the people
realized the true meaning of this COM
pliment to the memory of the grand old
hero of that memorable march through
Georgia, who was on his last march to
bivouac on the other shore of the great
river of life.
