At-noon, yesterday; the mournful roll of the muled drum, and the plaintive notes of the fife, announced th pre Ipa a tions for the funeral escort of the veme ran patriot, Edmund Pendleton Gaines. With a crowd of other citizens, we pro ceeded to the parlor of tih(. St. Charles Hotel, where the coffin conmaining the aemains of the old hero was laid out, eveloeid in a velvet pull and surmounted with the epauletts, scat f and swoid of thie.deceased. The sword used on this ccIsion was that nhich was presented to the General Lv the State of Tehmes see, in testimotny of the gratitude and admiration of the people of that State, far tile pallant defence of Fort Erie. The coffin was surrounded by an artay of military and citizews, in whose fv'res tpi; surrow and veneration for the dis inguishued dead were strongly expressed. The Governor and[ his Aids, all in fNll uniform, stood at the head of the coffin. On his right were Major Genrt al Lewis uid Staff, Biigadiet General Trtacy atnd Staff, anti manv officers of the volunteer aind militia service. On the left of tho Governor, were collecied tle officers of our reguhar army now in this city. among whom we observed representatives of he various corps of our army. Major Porter, in tle absence of Guen. Btoke, was the senior officer present. The illant and popt.ar Brooke, who re ceiv'd his first brevets ini fighltirng under General Gainos, and who like his com. nander, was wounded in the storming of Fort Erie, was so much a;i-cted by the l1ati of hit old companion in arms, that w wats unable to participate in ithe fu ral cereonies.

After the religious- ceremonies wvere over, the coffin was taken to theo hearsae prepared for it on one0 of the caissions of the bat talion of arti!lery, and was es corted fronm tihe hotul by a military cor tege, cone.istinig of a detachment- of Major Gally's sm tilbery, anad se veral conm painies of thae Legion, with detachments from othaer military corps, and by one comapany-of the 4.h United States ar' inier nder 0r1. Rigl The procession moved down St. Charles, Royal and Casacalvo s:reets, to the Pontchartrain railroad, ~marching to the time of the slow and solein music of the dead march. The hearse fo lowed the military, apd on each side of it were six pall hearers, among whom we observed Gov. Johnson, Gen. Rowley, Gen. Lewis, Col. Winthrop, Gen. Wal. ker, Mayor Crossman, and Aijors Por, ler and Cailhoun, U. S. A. Following the hearse was a lengthy proceSsion of citizens anid caiiianges. Ariived at the rairotd, the military formed into line, and anie to a present as the hearse passed through to the depot. At tIL depot the cofiin was iranifeired to a mourning car, siecially fled up ;n hear the remains of the veteran.

This is a vague word, which has been adopted here us a p-irty nane. These men have been elected fur so...e other reason than their supposed doctrines. This reason is that they are friends of progress and opposed to glovernmenial corruptioin.
