'A Mighty Concourse Assembling to Follow to the Tomb Our Illustrious Chief. Statesmen, Soldiers, Civic and Military Organizations Bringing Their Offer-ingr and Taking Part. New Orleans Deo. 8.—Mayor Shakespeare has issued the following proclamation: “As an outward sign of love and ad-miration our people feel for the illus-trious man and stainless gentleman now lying dead in the city hall, I re-commend that commercial bodies and citizens generally drape in appropriate mourning, and that on Wednesday, December 11, business be suspended, and various civic and military organi-zations, as well as individual citizens, attend the funeral of Jefferson Davis. A life so pure, a career so illustrious, may well serve as an example to rising generations, and I recommend that schools be closed and children attend the funeral.” Gov. Lowry, of Mississippi, and the state officers have signified their inten-tion of being present at the funeral, and Gov. Boss and Ex-Governor Lub-bock, of Texas, and many other South-ern executives will be on hand. The Houston Light Guard, Mobile military and other southern companies will par-ticipate. A number of lodges of uni-form rank have also asked for places in the parade. The various commands here have tendered their armories for the accommodation of visiting soldiers. The influx of visitors has already commenced and there will be more people here than on carnival occasions. A bureau of occupation and informa-tion has already been established, and hotels and boarding houses prepared. The remains of the deceased have been viewed by a mass of people to-day in column at the rate of 1500 an hour. The army of Northern Virginia tomb in Metairie cemetery was chosen as the temporary resting place by lot. The tomb is surmounted by the statue of Stonewall Jackson, which Mr. Davis assisted in dedicating. Bishop Galla-gher of the Protestant Fpiscopal church has been placed in charge of the reli-gious services of the funeral, Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson of Mississippi will assist him, and Rev. Ebenezer Thompson, of Bolaxi, Mississippi, who was Mr. Davis' pastor, will also take a prominent part. All the clergy in the city, irrespective of denomination, have been invited to participate. A special messenger has been dispatched to Beauvoir for the sword worn by Jefferson Davis in the Black Hawk war, which will be buried with him. The programme for the funeral was adopted last night. There will be eight divisions in the. parade and the place of honor has been reserved for United States, civic and military officers, colored society, fire depart-ment, veteran and benevolent bodies and secret organizations. Gen. J. B. Gordon is mentioned for honorary grand marshal. Gov. Wilson, of West Virginia, is the only southern state executive, so far, who has notified the mayor of his inability to attend. Floral offerings have been pouring in and the coffin now looks as if placed at the base of a bank of flowers. The army of the Tennessee leads with a design ten feet high, one of the hand-somest floral offerings ever maoe here.
