GALLANT BOY AETILLRRYMES.
II will be gratifying to the survivors of
parkcrs Battery to know that General
Lee has most vivid recollections of the
gaIlantry of that boy-artillery company at
Second Manassas and ut Sharpsburg. He
alluded in glowing terms TO their conduct
,n both Of those occasions.
THE LoUIsIAYIANs REGRETFUI.
fnd that the people here regret that
I, they have to rehnquish the custody Of
president Davis's remains. 1t is natural
! md t. their credit that they do, but they
' Ct co.nized with noble spirit the reasons
| which influenced Mrs. Davis IN selecting
Richmond as the last resting place Of her
husband.
ATTACHMENT ron RICHMOND.
They see the appropriateness Of en-
tombng HIM ct tho capital of the
Confaderacy, for which every Louisi-
Inian who followed the Confede-
rate hag has strong and abiding
attachment: and wherever the Richmond
committee has been to-day it has received
marked attention. while the old Howtzers
with us-Mayor Ellyson and Judge Chris
tian-have renewed some old friendships.
There is strong bond Of union between
the Washington Artillery and the Howitz
ers, aud it flnds expression IN fighting old
battles over again.

Miss Winnie and Mr.. Ellyson.
THE LYING IN STATE.
Large crowds visited Memorial Hall to-
hight. whore the remains lie in state, en-
closed in richly carved oaken casket. At
the head of the casket are q floral chair
and three star and crescent designs. One
of these Is counterpart of the design sent
by Richmond when the remains were tem-
porarily inferred here.
ESCORT OF VETERANS.
Before reaching the hall the mounted
escort was joined by a detachment from
each Confederate camp here, on foot.
Richard Brown. who was a servant Of
President Davis's and was with him when
ho was captured, goes to Richmond with
the funeral train and as the guest of the
Executive Committee having charge Of the
arrangements there. He is IN this city. aud
Mayor Ellyson made arrangements for his
transportation to-day.
BUzNA VISTA FLAG.
Over the casket is United States flag
that was carried by the First Mississippi
Regiment at Buena Vista when President
Davis, as colonel Of the regiment, won
kaeh famo.
The hall will be kept open all night and
Che remains guarded by details from the
several camps of Confederate veterans.
Memorial Hall contains the most valus-
bio collection of Confederate relics in the
South. 1t is particularly rich 10 flags, and
these. each in its place, and the peculiar
architecture render the scene there to-
night most impressive.
MisussIPriASs AND TEXANS.
Tho delegations from Mississippi and
Texas came in tonight and / find those
who regret having tho remains 80 far re-
moved from their States. but they are
scquiescing in the main in the same spirit
that chaTscterizes the Louislsnlana They
appreciate that Richmond must remain
Tor all time the Mecca Of the South.
The promise 10 that the funeral train
whi DO one Of the heaviest that have ever
.su tho city, aud that many who wished
!" 90 upon II hare been disappointed.
