THE PRESS Advertising has been pronounced “undignified” by the medical faculty, A physician who adver tises @ valuable remedy to fifty peopls in his pri- vate practice would receive the eid shoulder from his professionat brethren, should he mak his merits known to millions through the business columns of a newspaper press. This may be ‘‘dig- nified,”—but is it bemevolent, humane,or just ? Whoever is fertunate enough to discover or in- vent anything that will prevent, or cure, or alle. viate human sufe. ng is bonnd tomake it known | through every channel of communication within his reach, to the general public. For many years the merits of HOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS have thus been proclaimea to the world, and multitudes have been restored to health or saved from fatal maladies in conse quence, As new facta have been develoyed ia re- lation to the operation of this most pure and po- tent of all Btomachics and Alteratives, they have been stated in simple language to the peopts of | taany lands; and if the proprietors of the medicine have derived profit from their dirsemization, thousands upon thousands of individuals have been benefitted thereby to an extent boyond all estimate.

NEw YORK, Apri? 21.—Business is generall enspended. On the arrival of the’ faneral cortege Broadway was crowded to the utmost by peopie anxious to witness the funeral car aud accompanying escort. The utmost quiet prevailed on the route, and the dense masses remaised uncovered ag the procession slowly wended its way to the City Hall. The cotiin was conveyed by eight soldiers to the Gover- nor’s Toom, and one thousand singers sang @ mournful dirge as it was borne to its temporary restung place. The City Hall, in the interior, was elabor- ately draped and festooned witb mourning em- blems, presenting a eombre, solemn Appear- ance. The collin rests on a raised dais, on an inclued plane. Inclination issuch that the face ¢f the departed 1s in yiew of visitors while paseig for two or three minutes. The em- balmes rearranged the body, Which was somewhat disturbed by the journey, after Which the lid wae removed, affording a view of the tafe and npper pu: tivu OF ine Dreasi. ac i o'clock the guaras were placed, and tne gen- erai public allowed ingrees to view the re- mains. The appirance of the dead President bears no evidence of pain, but the eyes are sunken, and the facéis eemewhat discolored and sal- Jow about tle lower part, and dark around the eyes andcheeks. The lipsare verytightly compressed. The remains will not again be crpasen to vew vntil the arrival at Spring- eld. Immenee crowds, numbering thonsands, are in the streets, swaiting an opportunity to view for the Jast time the face ot Abraham Lincoln; but arrangemests for this parpose have been 80 poorly conceived and wretcnedly carried out, tl at thoussnds will be disappointed, not- withstanding they will be on view all nigat ard until noon toemorrow. The arrangements for the procession to-mor- row «re onan immense scale. It will, from presant ad vices, comprise fifty tc seventy thou- dad people on toot. The streets through which itis to pass are tu be cleared of all ve- hicles, and all persons notin the procession will be restricted to the walks, The ranks of the procession will be formed twenty deep, minute guns will be fired during ite pase and bells tolied, while yanous chimes will peal dirges. Every nationality bavirg an official representative here wiil be Tully represented, The military portion will comprise ten thousand soldiers. Additional decorations of mourning have been placed up- on ail the hotels and buildings thronghout the city, and the day will be exclusively devoted by opr community to a lust tribute of solemn respect to the remains of the great departed. ‘ , Scene at the City Hall. New York, April 21.—Atter the embalmers had prepared the body for pubiie inspection, and while the lid of the coffi, was still open, a full-length photograph of the corpse was taken. Some twenty-five mmutes was consumed in the effort, owing to the subdued light. The lid ‘was then closed, except enough to shew the face of the martyr President, and the crowd was allowed to enter the City Hall. They came throngh the east basement gate up tothe main corridor, thence up the steps to the vesti- bule fronting the catafalco. Many of the visi- tors were females, a large proportion of whom Wrpt bitterly, and one or two endeayored to Kiss the corpse, but were prevented. As the masses chme up with noiseless steps and streaming eyes, it was a most impressive sight —old and young men_women and children, rich aod poor, all crowded in rapid review before him who could appreciate their homage batin spirit. One poor trish woman laid a emall cross at the foot of the coffin, with a “God preserve your soul.” Her enrnest and apparent joy at depositing her tribute to the dexd, visibly affected the spectators. Another: Report. “ New York, April 21.—The funeral train Teached bere nt batl-past ten o'clock this morning, and was escorted to the Uity Hall, where the remaiis will lie in state until to- morrow noon, At Jersey City the arrangements were per- Tected, and nothing has been neglected that could give due effect othe ceremonies of the occasion. The cotiin was removed from the hearse car by eight soldicrs. It was partiaily covered with ibe American flag, with the flowers not yetentirely withered, in the presence of the Military and civilians, including the eacorc which bad toliowed the remains trom Wash- ington. They were slowly carried between open rauks, While masy voices sang a funeral hymn, the yocal music reverberating through the vast enclosure, which was bung with tastefully arranged emblems of monraing. Wheu the corpse wus leaving ‘he station,a funeral dirge wae sung by the Harmouia and Heboken Quartette Clubs, forming a chorus of about 200 voices. The deep and solemn tones of blended yoices touched every heart, and many wept. The remains were received on behalfof the State ot New York by Hon. Chauncy Depew, Secretary of State, and then consigned to the care of a committee. The hearse was then placed on a fergy-boat, and taken in charge by Major GeneraPDix. As the boat neared the city of New York, bells were tolled and minute guns fired. On ibe arrivalof the remains atthe foot of De Broseess street, the 7th regiment, National Guard, acting 4s a guard of honor, escorted the cortege through several streets to the City Hall, where the united German societies, numbering “vl voices, and occupying the steps and plaza in front of the hall, chanted dirges suitable to the occasion. The remains were soon thereafter exposed to the public view. Nkw York, Apri —The action of the Commion Council against the colored citizens appearing in the procession to-morrow is over- ruled by the Police Commissioners.

The Mayor ot Mobile formally surrendered the city about 3 o’clock on the 12th instant, ten- dering the seryices of the pilots to bring the fleet safely up to the city. General Granger meta most enthusiastic re- ception upon entering the city. He remarked he had never met so warm a reception in any place before.

Adjourned, = A Srxcrrar Rumor.—The London corres- » pondent of the New York Sunday Times men- sons in 2 letter, dated April Sth, the following extraordinary rumor: «We have had strange rumors here in circn- lation, lately, in regard to affairs in your @un- try. Gossip has it that your General Sherman is a Southerner by birth, and does not share in the Northern hostility to the institation of slavery; that he sympathizes with General Lee, and, when the war has been ended, wilt make himself dictator, and so settle the Union reconstruction after bis own fashion! En~ lighted politicians amongst us laugh at this programme, but it is surprising how general the thing has become, and how much it is credited in certain circles.” We are assured by a a epee eg ty sah ilar to this has appeared alsoin journals Of course this would be laughed at ‘as the dream of some crazy secessionist, did tt not appear just at.a time when Gen. Sherman bas been in some way misled into attempting wha' amounts toa surrender cf our cause to Davis. As this circumstance will attract more attention than it deserves to the para- raph we have quoted, it will be well to re faember that Sherman is not «a sontherner b; birth.” and that bis blunder, while it is morti~ fying to bim and to iis friends, will probably be corrected in time to avoid evil results to ihe country and the cause.—.. ¥.
