GENERAL scorrT. ed HIS OBSEQUIES YESTERDAY. A SOLEMN SCENE AT WEST PONT. GENERAL GRANT PARTICIPATING. “The Army and Navy Fully Represented. “Congressional Delegations and Committees of the Common Council in Attendance. AMPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES. FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE PRESENT. “THE OLD HERO AT REST. “Observance of the Day in This City. -ALL PUBLIC OFFICES CLOSED &e. &e. &e. ‘The last rites of burial were paid to Lieutenant General Scott at the Miliary Acutemy of West Point yesterday, where his remains bave been lying since Tuesday "last, the 29th ultime, on which day he expired. ‘The ceremonies were carried out in a manner that entitles all the officers entrusted with the gad duty to a great deal of crodit. General Callum, tho Superintendent, had an arduous task to perform. Compelled to accept all the responsibility which the unforseen event imposed upon him, he proved himself quite equal to it. Without any definite instruc- tions from the War Department he undertook to pian and carry out tho entire proceedings, and with ‘the efiicient assistance of his subordinate officers, Colonet Biack and Captain Boynton, succeed- ed in accomplishing the work with remark- able punctuality and good order. The display was devoid of the pageantry which it would have been impossible to avoid had the funeral taken place in New York; but it ‘was all the more in keeping with the event, and dobt- ess more in accord with the wishes of the departed Soldier. Although many of the civic representatives of ‘the country were present to pay the last honors to one ‘who amply deserved them, yet the obsequies were con- « ducted according to strict military rule, and with a faith- “ful adherenco to the programme which is not always ob- served oven in military ceremonies, THE REMAINS CONVEYED TO THE CHAPEL. The saddest and most solemn part of the ceremonies vof the day was that of conveying the body from the hotel to the chapel. At precisely hal(-past eight A. M., ‘Just asthe thirty minute gun was fired, a detachment of Company A, Sappers and Miners, bore th» coffin from the General's room. Colonel Black roceived it at the foot of the stairs, where the officers of the guard of ‘honor were drawn up. General Schuyler Hamilton, for- emorly General Scott’s private secrotary, the cor- v@espondent of the Hxratp and one or two ladies, guests of the hotel, were the only unofficial parties then present. Having reached the piaza in front of the ‘hotel the cortege proceeded along the avenue towards the chapel. There was no music save the echo of the 4balf hour gun which reverberated from the mountains. “Mhe whole escort consisted of the detachment of en- gineers, who relieved cach other in turn under the heavy ‘weight of the coffin borne upon their shoulders; the of honor, who marched at each side of the coffin i ‘The following order: on the right Colonel Biack ‘loutonant Colonel Hilt 94 Cyotain Francis Davies; son the toft Lieutenant Colonel Piper, of the Third ‘artery, Major McMillan and Captain Arnold, of the Fifth cavalry, Following the coffin were General Cal- Jym, commandant, and Captain Bush, of tho Tenth in- ; the servants of the deceased—Georgo Gibson, his valet; James Allen, his coachman; Peter Egenolf, a former coachman of General Scott—ana two representa- tives of the New York press. The coffin was preceded ‘by Mr. John Harper, the assistant of Mr. Brown, the ‘undertaker of Grace church. In this order, amid a silence which was broken only by the measured tread of this little escort, and the song of the birds which a ‘bright June morning had called forth, the remains of Lioutenant General Winfield Scott were borne along ‘that broad avenue, past the trophy guns he had taken 4n Mexico, over the plateau where the young soldiers of ‘the Military Academy, of which he was so proud, only the evoning before had paraded; in the shadow of those historic mountains, crowned with redoubts and forts that his predecessors in the Revolutionary war bad constructed and defended. A few groups of People, who had just began to assemble on the frends, gazed at the unpretending procession as it passed, and I am almost ashamed to say that scarcely halt a dozen of them evinced enough good taste to un- scover themsclyes as the remains of the gallant old hero ‘were carried past them. The body was received at the door of the chapel by Major Leighton, of the Engincer corps, who had charge of the chapel and its de- vcorations. It was laid on a catafalque draped fm Diack and white, and covered all over ‘with blossoms of the lily of the valley. The lid of the coffin was then removed, and the face of the deceased resented a more natural appearance than at any time since his death. The lower portion was somewhat con- tracted, owing to the removal of his false teeth, but the palfid color of death had succeeded the yellow tinge which prevailed for some days previous. APPEARANCE OF THE BODY. Contrary to the original intention, the General was not dressed in uniform, but in a plain black suit, His right hand was crossed upon his breast. His left lay lower 4own. The silk flag which he so much desired to cover him in death was wrapped around the body, leaving the upper portion uncoverod. When tho body was laid in the church, Mrs, Colonel Black, wife of the commandant of the Cadet corps; Mra, Grebel, whose burbaud was killed at Big Bethel, and Miss Princeton, were busily en- gaged completing the last crape adornments required for the bier. The decorations of the chapel had been com- pleted during the night INTRRIOR OF THE CHAPEL. The draperies consisted mainly of trophy fiaga Over ‘the chancel the United States flags, pat up on the occa. sion of Mr. Lincoin’s visit, surmounted with a blue silk guidon richly trimmed, bearing the words, ‘God and our Country,” still remain, In a semi-circular enclosure near the ceiling is the excellent fresco painting by Weir, the professor of drawing at the Academy, represent- ing War and Peace, by a male and female figure, with the implements of war and the olive branch. The figures are leaning upon & monament, upon which ‘are inscribed the words, “Righteousness exalteth na tions, but sin isa reproach to any people.’ The pillars of the chapel were handsomely twined with the Mexi- ean fings captured by General Soott during the war. Similar trophies were hung from the front of the choir gallery, At the left sido is a large giaas case, containing several Mexican standards too much worn to be displayed. At the right side of the church stands another caso, enclos- tng flags taken from the English and Hetians during the Revolution, together with some mountain howitzers. Trophies of various kinds adorn the walls between the Diack marble tablets, on which are inscribed the names E E i 3 i i z cee : il rctaey i in ff 4] BF ake i 2 a) fit i ! ul fi z g 28 A I iL 3 i ul sh pasaengers, most acters who preferred a plcasant trip by water to the in conveniences of a hurried journcy rail were Livu- tenant General U, 8.

AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION. After partaking of a slight lunch they were notified by General Callum that General Grant the officers of the Academy were awaiting their presence in a private parlor. The committee immediatety repaired thit accompanied by ex-Governor Hamilton Fish, Gen Graut, who, with Mra Grant and his son, wasiu the parlor, roso from his arm chair when the Senators and Congressmen entered and received them graciously.
