tho Rev. Moses D. HoSe-a fighting
Presbyterian pastor, who has pre-
sided over ono church for moro than
half Il century; famous preacher
on two continents, who did more,
perhaps, than any other ono man, to
enlist the services Of England to the
Confodoracy, for he believed in the
Conf"deracy with his heart and soul.
When this man stretched his loan
hand over the coffin, and, with every
| noto vibrating with m intense sym
pathy, said, 'Blessod arc tho pure in
heart, for they shall SEQ God,' the
congregation was visibly movod."
Thore were moro than thirty Of
tho clorgy in the body Of tho church,
but rather than give offence to any
Of thcm, only tho pastor and the
Row. DR.. Hogo were invited to tako
part. Many of tho veterans would
have been pleased to SEQ the Row. DR..
j. William Jones, ono of President
Davis's biographers and warmost nd
mirrors, tako part in the solemn coro-
monies.

THE MARCH, TO HOLLYWOOD.
Tho procession from tho church to
tho gates Of Hollywood Comotery
has beon moro than once described,
and will never ho forgotten by any
of tho participants, especially by
those who had also followed the
body Of President Davis to the same
spot. The admirable conduct of tho
thousands that lined the sidewalks
for nearly two miles WAS remarkable.
Thousands Of thom wcro children
and many of them colored people,
but the solemnity and pathos seemed
to be all-porvading, and if any wcro
inclined to levity or small talk shoy
must havo folt that it was not to he
tolerated.
In tho balcony Of an old fashioned
Richmond house, draped in Confcd
crate battle flags and .cropc, was
seated an aged gcntlewoman. She
gnzod wistfully at tho procession as
tho front ranks passed, but whom the
hcarao appeared she was socn to
bend over the bnlustradr, bury hcr
faco in hor hands, and burst into
tears. This was but ono of tho hun
dr"ds of such simple bnt significant
incidents, which impressed every
visitor to Richmond yesterday.
