Chicago, Tuesday, May 2.
^ Until-ulate hour last nights crowds continued.to
pass through the Court House in an
- unceasing stream. JJany who came to sec the
remains of the late President were unable to do
so on account of the pressure. During the
' * afternoon and evening a large .body of singerft
Tvero retained in the ..Rotunda and performed
v, . appropriate pieces, of sacred ;music, with but
*" little' wtermission, up to a late hour. AmoDg
the singers Were mpey -of the leading amateur
'vocalists of Chicago, together with several of
? the.voperA singers atjprhseiit in this city. These
services wero beautifully solemn1 and impressive.
To day long lines of people have been
moving towards the Court House, entering at
the door bearing the inscription, "Illinois clasps
n her bosom her slain b.ut glorified son," and
retiring by the one on the other side sunnomrt,
ed Dy the words, ^The beauty of Israel is'slain
upou the high places." .
' .Dnring the day, there was music from a
melodeon in keeping with the solemn scene.?
?he light from a chandelier wa? cast upon the'
> face of the laVnentcd dead, and revealed the*
;Jdeep surrounding drapery and the cofiiD, with
its splendcd and magnificent floral adornment*.
Grouped around the .coffin were evergreens and.
the .choicest flowers, Etyjscan vaxes, fijtyd - with
,red roses, Latin crosses formed hy. white flow'ters,
^ith white borders of evergreen, a Greek
' cross of whitjp .camelias,-with a-green back
ground resting ou the white satin lid of the
"v ' Greek urn filled with flowers,, and a
wreath of camelius and white lilies beddpd in
v. .evergreens resting oh the foot of thacoffin,and
' nmnnrr all these were rnro boil
? ? -?? ?- -?
-qiiets of white flowers, wreaths of flowers, and
wreaths i>f evergreen and mossess.
J . Many silent and affecting'sccites have been
<, v witnessed.. Owing to the very Jarge number
' of spectators, a few seconds only of time is
afforded to give a passing glance at the remains
; of the lamented dead. Mournful and.distrcsslull
looks aro expressed on every face, "and tear's
from many eyes give outward expression to
: , feelings oi'inward grief. .

come hither to take their last farewell of tiie

A Washington paper, of the Gth inst., contains tho

Life in Danville?a Raid .
on the Commissary Department
l-Vo;:i _a gentleman of intelligence who
reached this city on foot frum Danville, v.*e
have sonic interesting particulars v of events* .
that occurred there after the sflrrenSer of Gen^
Lee's amy. When this evunt'bccanic known *
in the town niui t-nrrtmnding country, a crowd
of citizens of a'<l clasos, ages and .colors, nr.d alargo
number nf soldieis, collected around the
building in which'were stored immense quantities
of commissary stores, and after u shortdeliberation,
made a general rush. .upon thqestablishments.
'Jlid parties in charge of thestores
at fii-st to resist the mob, but.
were quickly forced to desist and' seek their
own safety in flight. The individuals of tho
mob scattered throughout every part of the
'buildings, each one plundering according toAis
or her fancy. In one of the buddings, it
appears, lucre was a large qnanjity or ainmn'tion,
gunpowder in .kegs and percussion caps,
^ke soldiers 3nd' country people swarmed,'.around
the powder eager to secure it for fowldug
purposes. While'they were thus engaged,
by some'means fire, was communicated tp ,tbe.powder,
and in an instant the building *nd itscontents,
including over, fifty persons, were r
blown to atoms- This horrihle tragedy 'fpr a.
time put a check upon plundering', which,.however,
was soon recommenced, but with, some*
what more circumspection. ' * 1 ''

this, our informant learned, just before leaving,
that-jGxtra Billy had sent a flag of truce to
General Meade, the object of which had not

here, that the citizens of Lynchburg either
requested or compelled tho Ex-Governor to*
