and the hearts of the people who honored him beat with

j That which follows from the pens of our reportere fells
J In detail how a hundred thousand freemen followed their
|martyr's body, watched by more Iban balf a million
1 hearts. Many of our readers will make n summary of
Eg the details we give in their own minds, sod deduce some
iSinteresting facts therefrom. Those who have not tho
?$ moments nor the disposition to do so will be surprised at
ID the calculations, whtcb arc easily deduciblo from tbe
Mwell established premises which are stated.
D In the twenty-four hours of daylight and darkness
Kduring which the body lay In stale, not one moment
W elapsed that did not present a visitor to see the face of
Rilia Has/1 At n.Mnl ikl ll.a line, iknoe nlnrlrlisw fkale
[jjway slowly to the City Hall was aa long as when It first
13 started. Women and children roso at midnight from
H their beds to take their place In tho line, and the whole
city was alive to the desire to look upon thelf martyr's
Uf attires. During tho tlmo in which the body remained
w In etate It is calculat' d that not less than one hundred
k aud fifty thousand persons looked upon the body,
rjj The part of the procosslou composed exclusively of
if the military, which, when drawn np in line along the
l* sidewalk to salute the hearsn as it passed by, extended
llfrom the Hudson Kiver depot to Union square, a diejjtanceof
at least two miles, contained fifteen thousand
y men under arms, whllo in the entire procession, the
FFhead of wh oh reached the depot, four miles distant from
LtCiiy Hall, fully two hours before tho several hundred
Mfrecdmen, who brought up the rear, started from the
place of their rondoavous, were not Icsb than eovonty-flvo
frt thousand souls. And before thoso men of sablo hue, who
L" bore tho banner that termed Abraham Lincoln their
rf "emancipator," had reached the depot, the cadets of the
W Militury Academy at West l'olnt had fired tho salute and
Ppresented their arms to the passing funeral train. In the
J procession there was represented the people of every
(rStato in the North, of every clime, and almost every
nationality on 'he face of the globe; and all felt that in
j.< Join ng in this last tribute to a man] who was "not for
ene age, but for all time," tbey also mourned a beaofactor
of uot one nation but of tho world.
3 Tho facts from which to estimate the numbers who
J looked on tho scene are not so easily obtuined. Hours
F before the procession began to move lower Broadway
I' was blocked up with a solid mass of beings, and the nu
merous pedestrians who poun d into the city from the
lower ferries were compelled early in the day to lake the
cars on the west side, or reach the upper part of the city
by the streets running nafipllel with the great thorough
fare. Church aud Greene streets, and the Bowery and
!e<usi nroouwny, as wen as me moro eisiant avenues
along the East and Hudson rivers were crowded with
core, stages and pedestrians, forced off of Broadway.
Opon and In every houBe, every balcony and railing along
the line of march, men, women and children were
perched and seated, whilo the sidewalks wore continually
and painfully crowded from the time that the processioa
began to move until the centre of attraction, the funeral
car, had passed through tho entire route. The persona
who, forming part of the procession, moved along the
entire route passed people representing net only every
nationality, but citizens forming every caste of
society, and It required not the experienced obscrvaation
of the statesman to enable one to dlsItlngulsh
where the lines of demarcation between the
different castes were drawn. They wero vlsiblo In dreas,
In manners, in style, conversation and countenance, and
to one not need to the cosmopolite gatherings of a great
democratic fcily, was one of the mast rwmaikable studies
presented by the ever chancing scene. And not less remarkable
was the fact that during all the long hour*
which this vast multitude of thrco quarters of a million
i of souls watched patiently and good humorcdly, there
> was little noise and no confusion, and that the good humor
J which always becomes contagous in a great crowd, nevor
j degenerated into levity or jocundity, nor that tho sadness IJ
. and dejection visible opon every countenance had nothing I
^of dullness in It. Only New York city on this continent 9
<furnishes a cr<>.vd of such dimensions, of such m>xedH
'elements, and of such genuine and general good nature. H
?Tho full dsltllfr which follow will gi\e the reader a clearll
/ idea of the c* tout, character and magnihcence of thejS
J grand procession. i

J On Bi nod way the scene was one of nnurual ,
'i interest, even to tho oldest resident and those '?
* most acruHinmed to move among large multi- "J
tudes. There were throe trains of mourners, anxious
to look upon all there was mortal left of tho man t<
they mo rued. Two had tlmlr converging points at the
City Kail Park putes on tbee.e t in side of Broadway, and f?
their extromes extending noithward ai.d southward upon?
llroadwoy, and the third entered from Centra street, on y
the eastern side of the 1'urk. Tim number of pcrsonsUl
Included in these cub processions could not have beeuJJ
far short of IV ty thousand, exclusive of the crowdsM

dense, ail tut 'nt upon one solo object-?a view of the re Ey
mains known to bo within the City llall, the VoccaofM
'all their present hopes. Many were doomed to be sorely Q
disappointed. |j
Upon Broadway, south of the Warren street gate, the ji
train extended fally to I>ey street at tho hour of the 3
closing of the entrances, liulf past eleven, and was com H
posed of m< n, women and children of all nationalities H
and rankx in life, standiug compactly, two and two, andfj
crowding up gradually towards the I'ark emranre. OfB

iron Impulse, a single pHptH?to reach the City H, H

but det'rmincd to see at least thu outward covering J

In particular?wbo bnd come here especially to eee (be M

which wished their children to look once upon tbo face jj

And many of those have to go home disappointed, unless M
thoy feel constralnod to; continue In their endeavors II
until they succeed. Pcihspa a great number will to-day aj
take tbe train for Chicago, or some other plnco in the 9
West, hoping for better success than they met In the jS
metropolis. From what was seen in tbe pro- yj
cessions, before the forming of the grand onrt'ge, we ffl
Judge that there must have been over a hundred tbou
sand strangers attracted to New York yesterday for the I
express purpose of participating In a pageant surpassing j
In magnificence and extent aoytbing of tbo kind over (
called forth In America. Tho hot' Is were all full, and
private home* had to bo resort d to In many cases to
accommodate the unexpected gu sts from a distance. y
Considering the fart that many of the peoplo remained?
In tho streets, durlng the whole night wslting fora chance SI
to ?co tho corpse of Mr. Lincoln, and that many of o'-irj
citizens came avay from their homes at an early hour 'J
yesterday morning, brt'i ing their brenkrnsts and their r
dally papers, both to bo consumed while they stood In
tbe line, It is to bo regretted that more time could not 2
have been given them, or that something else ro.idjj
not have been done to facilitate tho entrance and cgr*g*3
of the crowds who wore fortunato enough te gnln theft
Interior of the City JTall. But let tbe nnsrcces-'ful one* U
console themselves with the thought that thoy wero at?
least auccessful In forming a portion of ono of tbo largest 4
spontaneous exhibitions of a nation's reverence foran||l

THE CLOSE AT CITY HALL. 1
The Lying In State. N
The closing hours of the obsequial rites at the City I

the earlier portions of tho ceremony; and when tho lastH

thousands who had seen the body wore only outnum-M

hare realized how truthfully that old writer spoke who M
said that " calamity waa ordained to be for human kind I
the perfect glu?, wherein we truly Bee and know our-D
selves." Only through this terrible affliction could we g|
have learned how strong a hold our kindly-hearted chief- a
tain, and the great principles for which be laid down his w
life, have obtained upon the national mind. Tho man ial
dead, but the principles live, and bis fool murdor only R

voted his energies, more firmly established than hcre-1

The copious descriptions publish'd in the H'RJit.B offiS
yesterday bring the render up to midnight on Monday. M
To sry that the uneoasing current of visitors suffered no W
diminution during Monday night would bo insufficient toff"
convey an Idea of the anxiety that was manif^stul toJB
view tho President's remains. At a late hour on Monday H
evening n^angcmcnta were made by which two lines of(B
visitors, instead of one. could ps?s the bier. The Cover H
nor'e Room, in front of which the catajhlqut was erected, jj
was thrown open to the people, who entered at tho base S3
mcnt on the Murray street sido of the Hall, with Common 'J!
Council passes at flwt, and subsequently w.thout anyifl
pa. peg at all, and moved round the outside of theroturd i, (
and so out of the building. Tho effect of this arrange- nl
mcnt was that an unbroken stream of mourners (lowed)}?
pnat each side of tho Irnpussivo corpse, and :tin hourly M

Alt this time the lii.esof waiting mourners were ex V
tending further and renter irto the limits of the impos 16
sihle. It was evident from the earliest hour that halfR
those who wore so patiently standing on the footpaths ma
Broadway and Centre street could not nonnililtr e?i
view of tho body witbij tlio tlmo assigned for the lying P
in 6t?te. Bull thoy icmaioed In tho rank*, hoping, fl
apparently against hope, that aome unlooked for diver U
aion might lesson tboir distance from the wished for I
goal. The linos were kept by the police and military Qj
combined, and generally with great good humor, con-1
stderiug tho enormous demands made upon thoirff
patience and cndurnnce by tho eager crowd. L
FROM THE ROOF. r
Been from the roof of tho City Hall, Broadway and ItsR
attendant streets were on* vast panorama of almost no se- j
lees life. The deathlike stillness was broken only by the E
occasional heating of a drum, as some of the Jbtsars and $
jetsam of tho procession movedjjto their rendezvous, or If
the subdued "soughing" of the populace, surging back B
wards and forwards. The Park in frout of the City H ill Q
bad been cleared of tho crowds of the previous day by F
the new arrangements for tho admission of the public to H
the building. A thin line of spectators marked the S
boundary of tho chain fence, which formed an extended F
paralellogium tefi.ro the entrance of tho hail. In this Ej
enclosure soon aftor ten o'clock the military began to as |t
semhle. First came a company of the Seventh regl- H
inent?New York's pride?and afterwards a detachment |5
of the old Washington Grays, magnificently mounted and D
equipped, ar.ft their officers attired in full mourning P
Very soon the huglo call to assemble resounded through It
the corridor whero tho dead was lying in its silent slate,

THB MILITARY VIEW TltE BODY.
Boon aftci eleven o'clock several companies of the
Seventh regiment, upon wi :>m has devolved the arduous
duty of maintaining guard at the C ity Hall, parsed by toR
view the body. After them followed a number of officers E
and veterans of tho war, tome of whom gazed with Irrepressible
emotion on ths loved face of their late Command
r in Chief.
AN INCIDENT.
The steamboat Granite State, from Hart'ord, brought
down over three hundred panter.gers, who marched from
hi. ImaL li> ?li? f'ilv Hall hi viaw ih? ho.lv f)n? of th: ir
number placed a magnificent cross, two foot in length,
upon the coffin. The cross was composed entirely of
white cameliaa. rosebuds and araliaa. There was one bud
for each of tbe Unitod States and one aznlia to represent
each year of the deceased's life. It was mnde in Ilart
ford from flowers culled from the choicest private con
servatories, and was the handiwork of Warren II. Burr,
local editor of tho ITartford Daily l'ost.
INTERESTING RELIC'S.
Captain Parker Snow, the distinguished commander of
tha arctic and antarctic eiplortng expeditions, presented to
Ucn. Dlx, with a view of their boing interred in tho eotTtn
with the President, some interesting relics of S.r John
Franklin's ill-fated oxpedttioa. They consisted of a tat
tered leaf of a Prayer Book, on which the flrst word legible
was the word "Martyr," and a piece of fringe and some
portions of uniform. These suggestive relics, which are
soon to be burled out of stght, were found tn a boat tying
under the head of a human akeloton.

tho honor d remains been guarded white In tho metronAlla
At half past twelve o'clock two companies of thcl
Seventh were innrched to the stops of the Hall, and!
formed line on either tide so that tbo coffin might pa?-|
between. About tho same titno Major Qenoral Sandford
and staff rode up to the Hall, and having dismounted
entered the building. A nnmbr of other military gen

AKltlVAI. OP TIIE FUNERAL CAR.
At ten minutes to one o'clock the funeral car, whlcb
tva.s specially constructed to carry the remain i through
the cliy, appeared in front of tho Hall. It was drawn
by sixteen gray horses, handsomely capuriconed, and
was the subject of general admiration; so elegant and
ta>tdy constructed a piece of work has scaic'ly ever
been appbod to such a purpose. This car
being destined to conduct the remains to tho railroad
depot, was gazed on wltb feelings of tho deep'8t curiosity
by the concourse of people who had gstherod In
the vicinity. Its gorgeous decorations Hushed in tbo
midday sun, while tho groups of national flags which
were placed at each corner hung listlessly over the
top, ss If enervated, and lacking vitality sufficient tog
mourn for blm who was the reprcsenlulive and up f
holder of their spotless iutegrlty. A colored groom held!
each of tho horses by the head. They ware dret-?ad|
in black and carried crape on tho hat and h f; arm, with I
mourning rosettes on tho breast. Mr Peter Tbdyca, the!
undertaker, conducted tho car In through tho firoad.vay
entrance to the Park, and thon walked the horses round
so us to face the route through which the procession was
to pass.
TIIK REMAINS CARRIED PltOM THE IIAI.L,
Vthen the funeral car had been placed in It* proper
position Major Oenoral nix, with cap in hand, appear.: !
on the stops of tlio hall and gave iho Fignal for tlio icloatna
to bo carried out. The colfn thou appeared, borne
on the etalwart shouldors of the guard of honor from
thoVot ran Reserve corps. All in iho immediate vicinity
Inst'nctivoly uncovered. The band of tbo Sev nth
regiment plavod a mournful dirge, tlio City II.ill bell
tolled, the military prcsrntod arms, and, amid the uu
broken silence among the multitude, tho mortal remains
of Abraham Lincoln were boruo to tlie funeral car. The
scene was one to Impress tho most thoughtless. Allr
looked as if they truly folt tho great solemnity of the I
hour. It was a sight to soften the heart, quicken the a
pulse and dim the eye. Etrong and brave men felt like p
women. Many uu eye was moistened with the tear ofb
sorrow; many a heart, steolod liy the hardening influencesE
of the world, was softened; muny a kindly, generous
thought fla: bed through the bruin as the dead President
was borne In front of that crowd yesterday from the City
HalL Purely no opponent of Mr. Lincoln's was amid
that assemblage at that particular moment. The astute
sin's pistol and dagger bad severed had opinions from
principles which hod opposed the man whilo living. The
quotation could well be misapplied In this instance:?
Tbo ovil that men do live after them,
The good la oft interred with their bones.
None can forget Mr. Lincoln'! good qualities as a man
and a President.
A ladder was placed by the side of the funeral car,
which was ascended by tho soldiers bearing the colli n,
and the remains pluced thus In tbelr proper receptacle.
FOkMINO TUB PBOCESSION?A FAVSK IN TUB FUOOKAMME.
The Seventh regiment and other portions of the proI
cession contiguous to the funeral car was then formed.
"g^nts of the Reserve corps, with drawn sabres, stood]
round tho remains, while the military dignitaries, Congressional
delegations and other bodies nui^od thei iselvev
in tho ordor marled out for them.
The time appointed for the procession to mi>v? was r.n?
o'chv k precisely, but tho hour hund pointed to two bo
