The Body Safety Conveyed to Saratoga -- Parson Newman's Sermon on the Life and Services of the Deceased. Mt. McQrrook, N. Y., August 4.?On the mountain brow by the Eastern lookout a gun boomed suddenly at foui o'clock this morning. The shock of the reverberation was yet on the heavy aii when a second report shook the earth, The artillerymen had begun firing the thirteen guns to mark the sunrise ol Gpncral Grant's last day upon the mountain. Tn quick succession and at short intervals the guns were fired. The guests At the hotel mid the family at the cottage were startled by the reports, but the meaning of tho gun's heavy booming was quickly suggested to the waken ear. Many arose when so arousei to learn the weather outlook for the day. On the mountain summit were thick grey walls of fog 011 every hand. The pelting rain of the night had censed before daylight. A i 1-- l " * v at an v.-unj' nuur me souuors received orders to break up cnmp and in less than twenty minutes till the tents had disappeared from among the trees and were packed away in boxes ready for shipment. Notwithstanding the heavy and continuous *nin of the night the soldiers slept well and n'Utu cc/mfvrriulilc. They had an abundant supply of dry straw to place under their blankets and the tent covers being waterproof they had little uneasiness from the rain. Down on the mountain sides at 5:-!5 o'clock the sound of the bugle ran<: oul on the still air ; it was the assembly call for the trumpeters. Fifteen minutes Inter the buglers of tho four companies df troops were sounding tho revellic, and as the last strains Hunted over the mountain they were swallowed up in tho booming of the gun, thnt every half hour through nil the day will thus tell the valleys the significance of this day and at sunset close with 38 volleys. men the soklters in full uniform stood at parade rest for roll call down whore the battery of guns are planted, close l>y the path of General Grant's lant ride to the lookout. The family at the cottage were astir us the uiorning touched eight o'clock, and correspondents and guests were moving at the hotel. The mountain train at six o'clock had begun bringing up people, and every hour thereafter the little engine drew up at the depot. The funeral car to carry the remains from the mountain to Saratoga came up eurjy and lay waiting the burthen il should carr3r. The bustle of an aotivc day had bi>gun, and when it was eighl o'clock the sun had 'cleared a way foi .itself. The clouds had sailed away tc mountains across the valloj\ and tht plain lay bright and fresh and green be no'ath, the voice of the cannon's cchc like rattling thunder in the forest below. Last night the family in a group anc alone had taken-their final farewell o the remains of the dead General, anc to-day .they''give up his body to the nation. . : At9 o'clock the family with the c* eeption- of'Mrs: GriVnt 'repaired to th< hotel for breakfast. On their returr Colonel Graht' and his wife and Mrs Sartoris paused upon the ridge at the rear of the cottage and among the pii.o: ; to tcan the bright picture of mountaii and JValte?. Thin the family entered the cottage and preparations were be gun for the funeral journey. At half-past eight o'clock the doors o the Grant cottage * had been throwi open and a stroam of visitors poured it Kteadilv for ovnr on linnr AKont o'clock the heaihof ft long lino of bug gies, wagons, omnibuses and varioui kinds of vehicles appeared climbing uj tho steep incline near the Eastern out look, and soon the area in the vicinitj of the cottage wns thronged with horse: and wagobs nn4 fnvmerij \vi(h thei wives aiul families. i/lH! . \ At9:30.j{ train of two'cars brough .

They proceeded ffiom tin Station to the cottagc in the followin; order: General Hancock and Uolone Jones; Admiral llowan and Genera Sherman ; Sonator Kvarts and Genera llufus Ingalls; Senator Miller and Mi Joseph W.

At 10 o'clock the services at tho cot , tage were held in the*prescnce pf ove a thousand persons..

Tho ect^mtfrucsopcnc TfWttSl "the" reading of Paatm tfo. 9( which was followed by an. impressiv prayer by liishop Harris. The hymi ? '"My Faith Looks Up to Thee" was join od in by the whole assemblage preset) with fine effect. T)r. Newman tlici ( came forward and delivered a sermon 01 , tho subject of .the dead Gen oral. tin family meantime sitting about tho re mains in thg parlor. At the conclusion of tho discourse, th< hymn "Nearer, my God, to Thee,"' wa rendered very impressively by the con gregation. The services ended will the benediction. After the services there was a gener , al movement of the people toward tin cottage to get a final look at the corpse but it was not deemed advisable to ad init any one in view of the fact that i was near tho hour for tho funeral trait to start. Generics Sherman and Ilan cock and Senator 13 varts left the balco nv fncrpl ltor Mrc Hronf l*?w1 ?<?l tull'-lUUKl n.ot to go with the funeral train, but t< wart until 4 o'clock, when she and tin other ladies of the family will leave foi Saratoga and thence will go direct tc < New. York. U. S. Grant Post No. .327 of Brooklyi bore the frefaiaihs from the cottage to tlx station. Shortly before 1 o'clock tlu infantry were drawn up and a salut< were paid the remains as they passed t( the depot, an.l the throng stood witli uncoveied heads while the casket was borne to the car. The mountain trail waited at tha little rustic depot. There \-w?n?ievcn cars. Next the engine tin | funeral car MU*. open sides and n solir mussing of lilack draptffljc. was wailinj its bunion.

At 1 o'clock tho order to start wai given. Engineer Martin shut all tin . steam from the cylinders, and tlic trail standing as it did upon grade, slowl] started by its own weight and impctu down the mountain.

The little village 11 of A'ilton was reached, and on the plate form a few hundred villagers silently - saw the train puss through with uncovered heads. The level plain was i! reached and tho descent had been safely s accomplished. * Seven level miles lay - between the train and Saratoga. The i speed was a little increased. Farmers and their families ?tood near and sat up on tho farm fences to see the train that a bore tho dead ex President. 'Again the , cannon on the mountain spoke out over - tho valley,"'but'only the edge of its t echo reached the moving train. Tho i spires of Saratoga were coming in view, - and from that direction catno the dull - booming sound of cannon planted half 1 a mile out of the village bosido the Mt. ) McGregor track.

The rear I'ulluiaii rtAi into the other, however, and broke its end badly. Almost before the noise of the great crash had ceased, some of the passengers had scrambled out, and little time was lost in ascertaining the damage and casualties. Everybody in iho passenger coaches was hurt, but it was soon found that the only persons very seriously injured were Conductor Hansom and an unknown colored man who lived at iVelfordand whose namo could not be ascertained. It is thought that he was employed b}'the railroad company in some department. Dr. lllack, of Welford, was sent for and quickly readied the scene of the wreck, and after the immediate wants of the passengers had been attended to they were conveyed to Welford. Subsequently Dr. Martin and Dr. Moore arrived and assisted. The physicians united in the opinion that Mr. Hansom was fatally hurt, and had seemed to believe it himself.- lie talked with friends for a time and expressed the opinion that he would never recover from his injuries. Mis back seemed to be broken, and he was otherwise hurt about the head, lie was soon put under the influenco of opiates to relieve his sufferings, and subsequently began to sink. He never rallied and at five o'clock in the afternoon he died. The colored man was taken home and nothing more could bo learned of him yesterday evening.- Another passenger, a white man, was severely injured and was left at Welford, but his wounds are not thought to be fatal. Col. C. F. Hoke, of Atlanta, was severely bruised on the head and about the body and complained of a sprained hip, but lie vuiui; un iiviL- in inu nucrnoon and said ? he thought he would be all right after a 1 day or two of rest.

'l'ho passengers who came here united in speaking in terms of warm admiration of the heroism of Miss "Mamie Law* daughter of the llev. T. II. Law, of Spartanburg. She was one of the coolest of the passengers and gave invaluaj ble assistance in caring for the wounded and aiding others, her courage and self possession being equal to that of the bravest man. A passenger named Price was also conspicnoh^ for the coolness, .patience and skill he devoted to helping others withont regard to his own coinfort or interest. As soon as possible after notice of tho accident h^d been given, a force of mon was put to work laying a temporary track to be used until the wreck can be ii' removed. This was accomplished yesterday afternoon, mul trains arc now run^ hjng on time. lt The trouble is supposed to have re; ^ulted from the spreading of the rails on the turve.

The first essay was ''Fertilizers best suited to agricultural products on the liffcrent soils of our State," by Dr. E. 10. Chaznl, State chemist, of Columbia, *. C. This was a very interesting and nstructive address, arid was listened to ivith marked attention. Discussion on this'subject was called "or, and a varictj of experiences were jlicited from farmersT'in different parts >f the State as to the kind and quality if fertilizers used in making corn. Mr. J.J. Dargan made 'thirty-five bushels to in acre with cotton seed meal and Ash ley phosphate. Mr. Stackhouse, ol Marion, made about forty bushels to an ?cre with one hundred pounds high ;rade phosphate to the acre. The discussion broadened so as to include cotton planting and the relative value of :otton seed meal and ground cotton ?eed, and was continued until the hour jf adjournment, 1.30 p. m.

This suggestion was .taken up tind strongly .advocated" by Mr. Porcher )f Charleston, and Master Lipscomb. 2ol. Lipscomb incidfcntly contended .hat to exchange your cotton seed for :otton seed meal and use the 'latter as a "crtilizer might do for a promising year ike this, but' might ruin your cotton ilant and yotir land at the same time* He did not care to learn how to make J,500 or 4,000 pounds of seed" cotton to :he acre, but he was hunting tho man >vho could tell him how he c6uld raise :otton at s'.x cents per pound and sell it it ten cents per pouncf. I)r. Chazal replied, sh6\vi'ri<f by a few ;tlnin, scientific facts that the cotton seed oil was riot only useless to the land i>ut injurious theret6. It did pot follow , l>ecuv>.-/? the oil \vas in" the plant that it ought to be" stored io the soil. You might just as well' sL-j that'ttie lint cotton ought to be returned to me wail.
