PASSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT’S REGAINS THRO It il THE COUNTRY. By the kindness of our courteous Post master, Mr. A. L. Harris, we are in posses sion of a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer, of April 22d. It was brought to Hilton Head by the steamer Russia. The Russia brought down a small mail for Savannah, which has been promptly distri buted. The following are extracts from the In quirer, which is principally filled with ac counts of the obsequies of the President: FABSAGK Os THE PRKSIDET'S REMAINS THROUGH THE CORNTRT. Ev Route April 21.—Appropriate religi ous services having been performed at the Capitol, the coffin was taken to the depot, gid deposited in the funeral car. Hon. dwin M. Stanton, Hon. Gideon Welles, Hon. Hugh McCullough, Hon. John Usher, General U. L. Grant and General C. Meigs let! the escort at the depot, and at 8 a. m., prociscly, the train left tho depot. At least ten thousand persons were out to see the de parture, but the depot was guarded by the Veteran Reserves, and no one allowed to en ter but those leaving, and their friends The Twenty-second Regiment United States Colored Troops were drawn up in line, outside the depot, and as we left they pre sented arms- THE TRAIN. On leaving the city the train consisted of nine caris, all elaborately draped in mourn ing by Mr. White, of the Baltimore Railroad. Anew engine, as a pilot, ran ahead of our train about ten minutes. Another new engine (dressed in mourning) drew the train. One baggage car, six new cars of the Balti more ana Ohio Railroad fbr the escort. The fine car of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad for the principal mourn ers, and the magnificent new car of the Unit ed States Mail Railroad, for the corpse, built by General McCullura, for the express use of the President, and completed a few months ago. the escort oar 1861. Os the escort that accompanied! Mr. Lin coln from Springfield to Washington in his great triumphal tour four years ago, but four are now with the remains, Judge David Davies, of Illinois, Major General David Hunter, Ward H. Lamon, and the special correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer. ALONG THE ROUTE. All along the railroad the pickets and guards came to a present arms, but few T peo ple, however, were visible, until we reached Annapolis Junction,where the buildings were draped iu black, and two engines standing upon the track tolled their bells. About five hundred soldiers and citizens stood along the track, but not a word was spoken, no noise, as the train glided along slowly past the sta tion. DEPARTURE THOU BALTIMORE. Harri9buro, April 21.—The funeral train bearing the remains of the late President left Baltimore at 3 o’clock. From the tens of thousands of people we had seen along the streets, the supposition was that all the peo ple were iu town. But for three miles out both sides of the road were lined. The same sad groups, the old flag in mourning, the hovel of the beggar with its piece of crape nailed to the front, and the mansion of the wealthy protusely clothed in black, and our silent passage denoted that if even there were those who would not have wept at our loss, they dare not let it be known, but sought to cover up their sins and throw around them the garb of loyalty. What a change since 1861! Governor Curtin and Staff, aud General Cadwalader and staff join us at the State line. General Townsend and General McCollum received them formally, and aft era moment’s halt, in we go. The same tributes strew our course. Just at dusk we reach York, enter ing the town amid the tolling of bells. The buildings are draped, and the citizens crowd ing one another down to the very rail over which our iron horse seems to plow his way. We halt at the depot, and find thou sands of people with uncovered heads in the rain. A brass band from the United States Hos pital plays a mournful dirge. Mintzer’s n fan try are so ranged along the track as to keep the way dear. The bells all over the city trill, and miuute gunß from the hiil side add to the impressiveness of the occasion. While we are taking in water the crowd opeh a passage from the station, and a half dozen ladies Tn black come through to the cars. General Townsend and McCullum meet them, and in moment asoldier brings down a laigewaiter, around which is a wreath of white roses, camelias, and the most delicate and flagrant exotics. In the centre of the wreath is a flag, the blue field made of violets, and the stars of white violets, and the red stripes of geraniums, making one of the most beau tiful natural pictures ever prepared for such an occasion. Thp fragrance of those violets seemed like incense from Heaven. A neat tribute, plain, but coming from the heart, will weigh against the costly decorations of the millionaire; a starry flag of violets laid upon the corpse by the ladies of York. Old men tottering to their graves, with rain pattering upon their bald heads; wounded soldiers hobbling to the roadside to staoVtheir love for him who sleeps before them; old women sobbing as though they had lost their first bora; fair maidens brush away the tears, and men hold up their little ones to see the car that con tains the remains of the people’s frieud. “He was crucified tor u«!” exclaimed an aged colored man, but the shrill whistle sounds, and we leave a scene that can never he for gotten by those who witnessed it. Such feelings, such sincere grief, has never manifested itself before since the death of Washington. There have been no speeches made to-day, no sermons, not a word spoken, the silence of the funeral cortege speaks with an eloquence that must reach the hearts of men of adamant. Iu our train are over one hundred and fifty men and no ladies. Need I tell you that there lias hardly been one who did not be tray his emotions with tears, As it grew dark the crowd of the people at the stations seemed to be larger as we drew near Hw risburg, which we reached at 8:15 p. m., in ft drenching rain. , ARRIVAL AX HARRISBURG. Harrisburg, April a—ll P. M —Tho Presidential funeral train arrived here on time this evening. Prepirations have been made to make the esccrt from the depot through the one of the deepest so lemnity. Governor Curtin, though very ill, having been confined to Ms bed for several days, proceeded to the §tate border iu the one o’clock train, by tl» Northern Central Railway, accompanied ly Hon Eli Slifer, Secretary of the Commmwealth; the Dep uty Secretary, Adjutant-General Russell, and the whole Gubernatorialstaff, together with the heads of deparhnens, and Major-Gen eral George Cadwaladermd staff, and Major General Heintzelman am staff'. It was un derstood that the remaps of the martyred, patriot President were t| be in the immedi ate charge of General (Adwalader. To the Signal Corps, ; under the immedi ate management of Mr. W. T. S. Jamison, of General Hinks’ office was assigned the duty of signaling the approach and progress of the train. There wai not a house in the city that was not drapet with deep mourn ing. The sky had bet* shrouded in dark clouds during the day, lut every body hoped it would not rain and thus mar the solem nities of the occasion. At an early hour in tte even! ng the streets were crowded with men women and chil dren. At least ten thoisand people had ar rived here from abroal. The funeral es cort was announced topassfrom the depot up Market street to Seiond, up Second to State, and through StaU to the Capital buil dings. These streets wire literally jammed with human beings, evey accessible and eli gible point being occmied. Great anxiety was felt for the safety and tlie remains of our President and those accompanying it. Happily, at schedulj time, it was an nounced by the signals that the train had reached Bridgeport, onthe opposite side of the river, and soon the rain, with its mourn ful emblems, came creeling slowly over the bridge. At the Harrislurg terminus a large concourse of people wre awaiting its arriv al, and when it had pasecl a rush was made for Market street. ON THE ARRIVALAT THE DEPOT A salute of twenty-oneninute guns was fired from Capitol Hill. Tie Court House bell raug for the citizens b assemble,, but they needed no such anuouiacement. A battalipu of artillery, a company of cavalry, the Six teenth Regiment Vetenn Reserve Corps, of ficers of the Army ant Navy, mounted and dismounted, the memfors of the Legislature, the Mayor and City Councils of Harrisburg, the Soldiera of the Wh‘, 1812, the Judiciary delegations, and *a atmerous concourse of citizens were in line; waiting 'the order of escort under the Chfet Marshalship of Col. Harry McCormick. jMter some delay, the hearse containing thaiemains of our h ouor ed President was seeiapproaching, and now ensued a scene of j ‘eat commotion. Rain had commenced to ‘all, and now a perfect stream was pouring own. NotbiDg daunted tte immense concourse of people stood theii ground. As the hearse moved up the street ne people crowded to wards it, as if the and arest casket of the na tion were borne fron them, and well might they. The second \ ashiugton of the nation was dead, and the|;opie of the land, who all loved him beyon- expression, hung close to his departing fora. All were anxious to get a glimpse of his coffin among the first. The scene was gra id as an outpouring of the national grief, aL l God made the scene terrible and sublime, ‘or with the roar of can non came the roar ofHeaven’s artillery, and Heaven's lightning aiiwered quick aud lurid every flash of earthlr artillery. I canuot describe to you the tVi ible sadness of the spectacle as the the square. Here the rain was terific. Horses pranced j in the lightning’s glare and men staggered under the watery elem nts. The parting of the military now filled around the hearse, which stood in the st Jet for the space of about ten minutes. Tpe watery elements were pouring down upto the remains of him we revere, and all the rapery ot black was soaked in water. Heaved wept even mire than the people. Red lights shine upon the street at every corner, lightning up thd insignia of mourn ing “A Nation Mour® its Martyred Fath er.” ‘*A Great Man has Fallen.” “We Mourn a Slaughtered Lelder.” The scene at the Cupiol when the escort arrived beggars description. The remains were to be seen there fnn nine to twelve o’clock, and thousands iad gathered iu the Capitol Park to embrace the opportunity of seeing lor the last time ile mortal remains of him they revere. A stnng guard had been placed around the buildup to keep back the throng, but when the bock had been placed within the bullking tbelpress became so great the gdards were puttied back, aud the immense crowd rushed to lie door of the ro tunda. Here it was with the utriost difficult that the order of entering cotid -be preserved; but one by one the people law our President. Passing through the roiutia, within a line guarded by the military, I feaclied the door of the House of Represenitivcs. Here all was pervaded by the stilluds of death. Men and women walked slowli past the coffin, and as they contemplated Jr a moment the features of him whom tliw loved so well,' now pale in death, the cru* blow of the as sassin that laid him low ]was before their minds’ eye, and tears flowld lrom eyes not accustomed to weep—tea* of griel most deep and sincere. But as c were hurried out, we could not dwell long bytiis side. Taking one more look at the deefcd coffin, and at the stand on which it lay,C(tered with black, three feet in height, that hrl been erected in front of the Speaker’s desk l we bade good bye to our poor dead Csesarko the mute ora tion of his wounds, and, ctscending steps erected from the windows atthe eastern end we were once more in theVpen air, in the cold and chilling rain, and tlus the throng passed mournfully through tie chamber till the doors were closed. It is fct thought that all who wish to see the deacnPresident can do so. Many thousands cT people from abroad will be here to-mornw to swell the throng. JExtra trains are clirtered on all the rqilroftds. I Owing to a change in the prrtramme, mak ing the hour of departure frorihere eleven instead of 12 o’clock, but littldtime can be atlordcd sot this purpose. To-|orrow from seven to nine is the allotted tiid, alter which the procession which will para* the streets and escorts the remains to the dfcot, will pass through the chamber. A salute of minute guns wniflred at the Relay House, and a general dis Jay of crane marked our passage.
