Funeral Obsequies of the late President,
Oen. Zai-liary Taylor.
Washington, July IH, 1850,
The funeral ceremonies w hieh took
place m this city to-day on the Dec ision of
ill,- interment of the late President of the
I nited States, were such as perhaps have
never been eipialled in this country—at
once ' strikingly touching and solemnly
iinposing; appropriate alike to the distin
guished position, eminent virtues and loltv
patriotisui of him whom they were de
signed to honor, and such as became a
great nation lamenting one of its most he
mic sons.
The appearance of the Federal city was
one consonant with the occasion and the
ceremonies which were to t:ik<- place in it.
1 he Capitol, the public buildings, and a
a large proportion oi the private houses,
were draped in the sables of mourning.
On Pennsylvania avenue, from the Capitol
to the Presidential mansion, we did not
notice a single budding, no matter how
humble, on which some appropriate insig
nia of mourning were not displayed. In
many instances the houses were draped
with much appropriate richness and ele
gance. The national ensign, suitably
shrouded, was also displayed from numer
ous points. At sunrise the day was ush
ered in by the firing of federal salutes from
the Navy \ ard and other military stations
in the vicinity.
As the morning advanced the multitude
of strangers in the city was increased by
large and constant accessions from all parts
of the surrounding country. From Balti
timore, train after train arrived, crowded
to their fullest capacity with those anxious
to witness and participate in the ceremo
nies. Among those who thus arrived were
the military of Baltimore, who were re
ceived at the depot by detachments of the
volunteer corps of the District.
'File procession, the chief features of
the ceremonies, was, in all its details, im
posing and appropriate, and exceeded in
extent all that had been anticipated in re
gard to it. Its length, when in column of
inarch, was full two miles; the military
escort alone extending nearly from the
foot of the Capitol to the Treasury De
partment. The military escort excited
justly the admiration of all, both from its
brilliancy and numerical force, and from
the perfect propriety and fitness with
which its arrangements and movements
were carried out.
At twelve o'clock the tolling of the bells
and the firing of minute guns by detach
ments of United States Artillery, stationed
near St. John's Church, the City Hall and
the Capitol announced that the hour had
arrived when the luneral ceremonies were
to commence. The religious services took
place in the East Room of the President's
House, where the body laid in State, in
die presence of the family, the President,
tiie heads of the Departments, members of
the Senate and House of Representatives,
and of the Foreign Ministers. The ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Dr.
Pync, Rector of St. John's Church, who
was in attendance on the President during
his illness. The opening part of the bur
ial service prescribed by the Protestant
Episcopal Church was said, and an appro
priate funeral oration delivered by the Rev.
Dr. Butler, of the Episcopal Church.
On the conclusion of these services the
remains of the President, surrounded by
the Pall Bearers, were taken from the East
Room, with all appropriate observances,
and borne by a file of United States sol
diers to the funeral car in waiting at the
north gate of the grounds surrounding the
President's House. The remains were
there received into line with the customary
military honors, and the procession form
ing into lino, moved down Pennsylvania
Avenue.
The military under command of Major
General SCOTT, formed on the Avenue,
north of the Presidential Mansion, the
right resting opposite the War Department.
It marched in funeral order, breaking from
ihe left with officers in the rear.
Then followed, in the order laid down
in the programme, the civic procession,
numbering several thousands.
Then came that which was the mourn
ful cause of the whole pageant, and on
which, as it passed along the crowded ave
nue, was concentrated the gaze ot all.
The funeral car was drawn by eight
white horses, each led hv a groom, appro
priately attired. The horses were litly
homed in mourning. The ear consisted
of three raised bases, on the upper part ot
which rested lite corpse, enclosed in a
coffin covered with black cloth, trimmed
with silver. Over it rose an elegant ceno
taph, surmounted by a gilt eagle, deeply
craped. The whole car was draped with
black, with intermingled black and white
rosettes, and tastefully relieved by white
silk fringing. The coffin was entirely
uncovered. The car had been prepared
with much good taste and elegance, and its
appearance was highly beautiful and in
every rt sp< < t appropriate.
The pall hearers rode in carriages in
front and rear of the funeral ear. <hi
either side, and close to the ear, marched
a file of United Stales soldiers who had
been in the army under the late President,
and all of whom had participated in the
battles fought by him in the valley ol the
Rio (irande.
Imiuediatelv after* funeral ear, led l>y
a groom, and fully accoutred, followed
ton. Taylor's favorite war horse, famil
iarly Known as "Old M hit*.*y. 1 IS '
filiations which were brought up by i n
remembrance of the many important ami
critical occasions on which this lajthlul
animal had borne the great commander
whose remains he now followed, gave to
thi- portion of the pageant an interest and
a j. ',mt which appealed strongly to the
ft < !iris of all who witnessed it.
Tin'- male portion of the family of tin:

of the Courts, oliieers of the various pub
lie offices of the city, Firemen of the Dis
trict and Sons of Temperance closed the
procession.
I he ceremonies at the grave, though
brief and simple, were such as to be
long remembered by all who witnessed
them. Surrounding the vault were grouped
the Hon. Senators Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, J.ewis Cass, 'J'hos. 11. Denton,
Sam. Houston, the President and Heads
of Departments, and many others, whilst
conspicuous among the military present
was Gen. Scott and many other disiin- ;
guished officers of the Army and Navy.
Immediately after the closing of the re
ligious ceremonies the last honors were
paid to the brave old warrior by the fir
ing party stationed without the cemetery
—three rounds of musketry being fired by
the infantry and three by the battery un
der command of Major Sedgwick. The
procession was then dismissed, and at sun
down the ceremonies of the day were
closed by a federal salute from the battery
at the Navy Yard.

SALAMANDER SAFES,
Warranted Fire & Thief Proof,
AXD FREE FROM DJIMPXESS.
HMIESE SAFES possess every qualification to render
them proof against the action of fire or thieves, and of
sufficient strength to endure a fall from any story of a
: burning building. They are made of wrought iron, being
kneed, rivited and welded together, and lined with a per
! feet nonconducting fire proof mineral composition, no
wood being used in their construction as in the majority of
safes sold by other makers. The doors of Oayler's Safes
are secured with his THIEF DETECTOR and ANTI
GUNPOWDER LOCK, which precludes the possibility of
picking or blowing them open with gunpowder. Over
1 WO HUNDRED of these .Safes have been exposed in
accidental lire to the most intense heat, in many instances
remaining in the burning ruins for several days, and at
no time have they ever been known to fail in preserving
their contents.
The public are invited to call at the BRANCH DEPOT,
No 10 EXCHANGE PLACE, PHILADELPHIA, near
Dock street, and examine the numerous testimonials in
favor of Oayler's Safes, also the large assortment on
hand for sale at manufacturers' prices, bv
