to let the white clergymen of the North go

interfere with the slaves—and the same power
would - not let the colored ministers go there
because therwere smoked Yankees,and so the

At ten o'clock the body was removed from
the residence of John B. McFadden Esq.,
father-La-law of the deceased, and pl aced in
the vestibules! the First Presbyterial:Church,

O'clock. The coffin was tastefully decorated
with evergreen wreaths, flowers, eta., and the
swords which he had borne with him in
battle, five In number, were lying' crossed
upon the coffin lid of the departed hero.
The flag which he loved so well, and which
he had so lately consecrated with his blood,
was folded about the coffin. Thousands of
citizens of both sues, and of every condition
in life, visited the church to look for the last
time upon the fees of the illustrious patriot '
The body was in charge of a guard of soldiers,
and the people were permitted to eater by the
southern door, pus through the vestibule to

and fought under his command.

At two o'clock the body was removed from
She vestibule, and plaied in front of the pul
pit, which had been appropriately draped with
the national colon, and festooned with
wreaths and flowers. The pall bearer,
were: Col. D. B. Morrie Lieut. Col. Orals,
Major M ajo r Charles Barnes,Morrie,

pt
Hayman, Cat.Moorhead, Capt.
and Capt. Morgan. The
audience room, vestibule and galleries were
now densely crowded with spectators.
After a solemn dirge by the choir, Rey. W.
D. Howard, D. D., read the following hymn :
"Hark, from the tomb, a doleful wand
Mar ears attend the cry.
Ye living men come view tee ground
When yea mutt shortly Mt"
The hymn was lung with lmpressive
effect, after which Dr. Howard t
readmakable
portions of the - Hi:captures, and then led
in a moat fervent- and. eloquent prayer,
which moved many of the audience to tears.
Rey. Wm. M. Paxton, D. D., then delivered
• very interesting biographical sketch and
eulogy of the deceased, which was listened to
with profound attention. After giving a brief
raster" of the military career of the deceased,
the speaker concluded, as follows':
It may be interesting to know the Mate of
Gemini Hays' thoughts and feelings just be
fore entering upon that desperate conflict. In
a letter written upon the morning on which
the march commenced, ho says
" Tide morning was beautiful, for
'Lightly and brightly shoo* the sun,
As if the more was • pored one.' •
----
Although we were anticipating to mania at
eight o'clock, it might have been an appropri
ate harbinger of the day of the regeneration
of mankind; but it only brought to remem
brance, through the throats of many bugles
that duty enjoined upon each one, perhaps be
fore the setting sun, to lay down a life for his
country." •
In the beginning of this last engagement,
when Gen. Hanger* took position and was
immediately assailed by the fall carps of Gen.
Longstreet• Gen. Hays with his brigade occu
pied a front position in the thickest of the
fight. They had been engaged for about :be
half an hour, when Gan. Hays, after riding
along bin whole thee, halted at the head of his
old regiment (the 63d.) He had scares paused
when a rife ball struck him just above the
ctrl of his hat, and penetrating the brain, he
fell insensible to the ground. He breathed
hardly for three hours afterwards, and then,
without a return to lonscionsizese, he ex
pired.
Thai fell the hero of thirty-two battle
fields. He fell just where he should have
retitled to have fallen—at the head of his own
old regiment—Alm 63d Pennsylvania. He
fell just-as every patriot moldier should fall,
with his face to the foe. He fell heroically,
gloriously, as the Secretary of War announc
ed, at the head of his column, cheering and
sustaining it against an overwhelming fore*
of the enemy.
We mourn hislon for the fail of each a
leader at inch a allele when our coun
try needs brave hearts and strong arms, is no
small calamity. All who knew him agree
that he never feared a fee, that he was as
brave a man as ever enter ed a field of battle.
His best et:logic= is contained in the words
of one of his own comrades in arms who said
that his simple prexertze would make a regi
meht of cowards brave. •
Whilst we mourn his lees, we feel it to be a
happy heritage to honor his memory. The
eolemn feeling that pervades this community;
the closing of places of btudnese; the 13 01260112110
of citizens to to, sanctuary, with the volun
tary tribute of military honors—all give evi
dence of the depth to which,the common heart
is stirred, and of the affection and admiration
which his memory awakens.
The battle is fought wad the victory won;
and we honr the patriots who achieved it.
And new, fr ien d e, fellow-citizens, look upon
that bier—
“tie Unlike a hero taking Mann,
IV/Lb hfriaartial shroud &nand him. 7
His battle-fag is his winding-sheet, and on
his bosom rest five swords, each the reward
of valor: One—the gift of his early friends
and companions in his native town (Frank
lin), as the reward of his gallantry in the bat
tles of Palo Alto and Resace de la Palma.
Another—s token of affection end admirelliep
from the Texan. Rangers. A third—presented
to him by his own company (the City Guards),
through the brave and lamented Col. Child,.
The fourth—an elegant and expensive sword
recently presented to bum ke a testimony of
the confidence and regard of the citizens of
Pittsburgh. The fifth—tiis battle sword,
which he carried when he fell on the field of
carnage.
And now to all thee, honors we add this
day the tribute of our deep, heartfelt grati
tad:hand curtgodertaffsotionate remembrance.
Whatever other debts fhb nation may repu
diate, let es never repudiate the debt of grat
itude we owe to the mama:lei and to the wid
ows and orphans of the noble men who have
laid their lives upon their eenntry's altar.
We honor Gen. Alexander Heys, es Ameri
cans, for his true-hearted devotion to orb
common country. We honor him as Penn
i !Amiens, for hie achievements in driving
the rebel hoard from Penneyleania soil. We
honor him as Pittsburghere, as the embodt
ment and representative of the loyalty and
courage of this city in the armies of freedom,
All honor to the fallen hero!

Place no credit in the sensational stories
telegraphed to Now York last night, and dis
tributed by the Associated Press to-day, that
Lee is retreating in wild disorder, that hie re
treat Is becoming a rout, and .the like. The
news is good enough without any attempt to
swell it by indiscriminate exaggeration. So
far as is known here there is nothing to war
rant any statement that Lee did not retire in
as good order as could have been expected
and the stories of our picking up prisoners by'
the thousand on the way, are pure inventions.
There begins to be reason for supposing
that our losses in killed and wounded have
been greatly exaggerated. Certainly thelists
that are In do not warrant any such estimate
of our limes as forty thousand, and half that
number would tin - bearer the truth.
No messengers have arrived from the army
to-day up to this writing, sp. rn., bringing
down the narrative toWlater hour than yes
terday afternoon.
Large supplies irons the Sanitary Commis
sion went down to-day.
Several Senator, and Representatives re
turned from Fredericksburg and the front this
afternoon. , General Grant's headquarters
have been moved forward to Spottylvania
Court Gouge. There had been no fighting
after 0 o'clock yesterday morning. Up to the
10th the negro troops behaved very well. On
Tuesday the rebels shouted out "no quarters
to the negro." The negroes replied that they
would be glad to fight on those tonne, and
they kept their word. They went in hand
-1021:11G7 and fought about twenty minutes and
repulsed the enemy, but took no prisoners.
Gen. Grant's policy has hews to use the vete
rans to do the heavy fighting, then to throw
forward his negro and other.reserve troops.
Rebel officers lay that Lee announced to
his army after every day's fighting that they
had won a brilliant victory.
At Fraderitkillurg the wounded are well
eared for. The Sanitary and Christian Com
mission and Medical Departmenr have fur
nished abundant Mores, nurses and everything
needful.
The road leading from the b.ttio field 11 In
a bad condition and jammed with long wag
on trains.
Dispatches jest received from the front
bring down the narrative to 7 o'clock of last
Friday evening. tip to that time the permit
ordered in the morning bad not been heard
from, but it was not believed that the enemy
had gone very far In Very mach disorder.
Daring Thursday night there was a despe.
rata infantry tight, beginning at 9 o'clock and
continuing up to nearly 4 o'clock in the morn
ing.. It was wholly a musketry fight, and so
intense was the enthusiasm animating our
army, that even the officers took =Like' from
the hands of dying soldiers and themselves
loaded and fired with the rest-
The rebels began retiring about 4 o'clock
in the morning, shortly after the missatlonezif
this firing. Meantime Lee lent Ina flag of
truce asking for a cessation of hostilities for
24 boars to enable him to bury his dead.
Grant promptly replied that Gen. Lae need
give himself no linesmen on this:subject, as
ho (Grant) had plenty of men. and would see
that the robal dead were properly buriedand
the wounded cared for, so that:Gen. Lee:must
- not allow any consideration of this 'kind to
interfere with his contemplated movements.
There were 9400 rebel prisoners at Belle
Fiain that aro well clothed, well fed, and aro
pronounced by our men the best looking
prisoners we have ewer taken from Lee's
army. They make no complaints about
their rattans.
Here in
_Washington the feeling, particu
larly in Ciliatel circles, u conddrutt, but not
enthusiastic. Nobody doubts that there Is
still severe workahead of ns. Meantime all
looks encouraging. Sigel has been heard
from. Gen. Crooks is not far from the
Lynchburg and Hut Tennessee Railroad.
WAIIIIIIIGITON, May 13.—The Army of the

HOKUM, May 14.—At an early hour Major
General Butler renewed his advance toward
Fort Darling and reached Kinglands oreek at
noon, and formed in line of battle on the
south-east aide of the creek with the right on
James River, with the monitors and gunboats
near by the mouth of the creek, within three
miles of Drury's Bluff. At 3 p. m., General
Butler suepended the concentrating of the
batteries. Yesterday afternoon the advance
pickets captured a rebel carrier with -a dis
patch from Besuregard to the officers in com
mand of Drury's Bluff, which said, "Gold your
position; I will reinforce you this evening."
In two hours the relnforeements came. Ben.
Butler had sent a force to the turnpike and
attacked and drove them bark. Our loss was
■light. Gen. Amen is in ■ position to keep

Fogratis Moamar, May IS.—Tho latest
►counts from Gen. Butler states that there
was no fighting on the 11th and 12th. That
all was quiet, and had been since the enemy
fell back on the 10th. During the 11th the
enemy kept out of might, and did not libels'
themselves in any force through the day.
Yesterday a rebel battery stationed on the
shore of the James river near Turkey Island
opened fire upon some of our gunboats, which
immediately commenced shelling the enemy,
and ha retired evidently in great haste.
Gan. Rants' cavalry force arrived on the
12th, with 140 prisoners captured during their
raid from Suffolk. They report having de
stroyed several miles of railroad track in
both Norfolk and Petersburg, and Bolden
railroads. They also destroyed all the rail
road's bridges over the Coganty and 'Stony
creek, and on the Mottoway rivers.
It is reported that Sheridan has made a de
tour In the rear of Lee's army and joined
Butler. But this needs confirmation.
The blockade runner, Young Republic,
was captured on the 6th, by the gunboat
Grand Gulf, with a cargo of 550 bales of cot
ton, and arrived la Hampton roads yesterday.
The blockade runner Grey Hound was cap
tured by the gunboat Coins about the 811411 a
time, has also arrived there. She has a cargo
of 500 bales of cotton, and among the passen
gers is Miss Bell Boyd, of old Capital fame.
We learn- from the Navy Department that
another blockade runner was captured, mak
ing three out of the five that attempted to run
the blockade off Wilmington, at the time the
rebel ram was making a demonstration in the
mouth of the Roanoke river. Ninety prison
ers were captured. The boat le now lying in
the Roads. They were to be sent to Point
Lookout to-night.
- 1 Large supplies of commissary and medical
stores are being forwarded up the Jamee riv
er, and the Sanitary and Christian Commis
sion are wall represented. The friends of
the soldiers can rest assured that all is being
done that can be for the comfort of the men.
We expect to hear of fighting from General
Butler's army by the next dispatch boat. The
troops were ander orders to move early In the
morning.
