THE LATE SECRETARY RAWLINS. 4 NaTION IN MOURNING, DEMONSTRATIONS OF RESPECT. OFFICIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL. &c. The doors of the War Department were opened to the pubic at eight o'clock this morning, and during the day & constant stream of visitors has been passing through to take a last look at the features of the laie Genera Jobn A. Rawlins, Secretary of War. A sligh: discoloration of the face took place Iast night though not enongh to sffect the natural ex pression of the features. The embalmer opened the principal veins befor the body and was very careful to get out all the blood Possible, though it is generally impracticable to get out of a body all of the venus blood which is forced in the capillary veins during the process ef em . TRIS no doubt pro- uced the slight discoloration, but it is not be- lieved by the pbysicians or embaimer tnat it will be any grester than at present. Abonat ten o’clock this morning the coffin and catafalque were strewn with flowers fcom the Executive Mansion. A beautital wreath was also placed on the foot of the coffin. Genera) Michier, Commissioner of Public Buildings, also placed a quantity of rare and fragrant flowers abont the coffin and catafalque. The interior of the War Department is pro- fusely draped in mourning, giving it a solemo |ppearance. Lieut. James Burns, of the Sth cavalry, and & squad of twelve men from that regiment, re. mained on duty in the Department during the might and to-day. General Sherman, in charge of the funeral arrangements, with Adjutant General Town- sendand Genl. W. F. Barry in charge of the thneral escort,and Messrs, Harvey & Marz, the undertakers, were busily employed to-day in completing the arrangements for the tune- ral, which takes place from the War Dep:rt- ment at 10 o’cleck to-morrow morning. It will be utterly impossible to admit the public in the War Department at the time of the removal of toe corpse to-morrow, owing to the want of room. The principal part of the funeral ser- vice will therefore be conducted at the Con- gressional cemetery upon the arrival of the corpere there. The family and immediate friends of the deceared; the President of the United States and Cabinet, members of the Diplomatic Corps, the judiciary, and employe>s of the ‘War Department only will be admitted to the War Department when the remains are about to beremoved. The religious services will be very short. The officiating clergymen will be Rev. Mr. Wilson, of McKendree Ohapel; Rev. B. Peyton Brown, of Wesley Chapel; Rev. Dr. Butler, Chaplain of the House of Represents- tyes, and Rev. Dr. Wm. Hamilton. President Grant visited the War Depagtmen; about noon to-day, and was with Generals Sberman, Townsend, and Barry for some ume Perfecting arrangements for the funeral. The route of the precession to-morrow will be from the War Department, along Pennsyl- vania avenue to 15th street, down 15ih street to Pennsylvania avenue, thence along Penn- sylvania avenue and around the Capitol to E and Tith ‘street east, and slong E street to the Congressional Cemetery, where the body will be placed in 8 vault for the present, and here- after be removed to Danbury, Conn. The War Department will b> closed at ten o'clock this evening. after which Mr. Clark Mills, jr., assisted Dr. Bliss, Gen. J. E. Smith, and Messrs. Harvey & Marr, the undertakers, will make a cast of the face of the deceased, from which 8 bust will hereafter be made. The solid silver plate, in the form of an American shield beautifully engraved, as men- toned by us yesterday, was placed upon the coffin at three o'clock this afternoon. THE PAMILY OF TAR DECEASED. General Rawlins was married in June, 1836. to Miss Ewily Smith, of Goshen, New Yor", ‘with whom he lived happily for five yeir:, during which time three children were born ‘She died in 1561, and after two years he married Mirs Mary E. Hulbart, of Danbury, Uonnecti- cut. who is now in Connecticut, in feeble health con"Cquent upon the r. >2at birth of am infant, which lived but sbori time. After the clese of the Cabinet meeting ou Monday nizht the President, accompanied by Sacretary Robe on, again visited the house in Grant Place, where the remains of the Secretary were lymg in the parlor. He had a short consultation with General Smith and Mr. Robrson in reterence to the arrangements for the funeral ob:equies, nd the conversation then turned on the condi- tion of the family of the deceased. An opinion Was expressea that the family should receive the salary for the unexpired term of Szcretary Rawlins’ office as Secretary of War, and tha; Congress shonid make the necessary appropria- ton, about £28,000. The tuture prospects of the children were also considered, and General Grant expressed his intention of a°suming the care and protection of one of them, and making Grrangements for the care of the others in the event of any fatal termination of the serious i!'nees of Mrs. Rawlins. At a meeting held at the sub-iressury in New York, yesierday, a & proposition to raise $50,000 for Mrs. Rawls Was carried unanimously, and $15,000 were subscribed on the spot, including a subscrip- tion from President Grant of $1,000, received by telegraph from Washington. Mrs. Rawlins, wife of the Secretary, is ex- pected to arrive here from Danbury, Conn., on the early train to-morrow morning. Mrs. Hurlburt, her mother, was here yesterday, but lett again last evening tor Danbury, to rccom. pany Mrs. Rawlins here. Dr. Bliss, the at. tending physician of the Secretary, will mest them in Baltimore. Although Mrs. Rawlins has been very sick she has determined to be Present st the funerai, though her very weak condition may prostrate her by the time she arrives here. The three children of the Secre. tary, by his first wife, will accompany Mrs, Rawlins here.
