l.c. [printed]: THE PALL-BEARERS. \ A wondrous history is written when these men are named as the Pall-bearers of the Funeral Cortege. \ Gen. William T. Sherman, whose "March to the Sea" is among the most famous upon Army record, and Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, who surrendered at Fort Donelson, together honor the \ memory of the man who approved the first and overthrew the last. Rear-Admiral John A. Worden, who, at Fortress Monroe, with the celebrated "Monitor." sunk the ironclad "Merrimac," and Gen. \ Jos. E, Johnston, Commander of one of the Divisions of the Confederate Army, under the same furled flag to-day pay tribute to the Leader of the Union Forces. The story of Sheridan and Winchester, \ "Twenty Miles Away," and of Porter and the Flotilla on the Mississippi, are household words. The loyal civillians, wealthy and generous, were selected as special friends of General Grant, who, during \ the War, largely contributed to the Union cause. \ 170
