The head of the column reached the Capitol at 3 P. M., passing up Pennsylvania Avenue upon the north side of the Capitol. When the infantry reached the Senate door, they filed into the yard on the east front, and opened column, forming a hollow square in the yard in front of the Rotunda. The artillery and cavalry then passed on towards the old Capitol. When they had passed, the commander of escort and staff and the army and navy officers passed into the east front yard, the equestrians passing on. The coffin was then borne into the Rotunda of the Capitol, and a Guard of Honor assigned to duty for the several hours of the afternoon and evening. Never before had Washington beheld so solemn a pageant as that which moved up Pennsylvania Avenue on the 19th of April, 1865; a day now trebly memorable in our annals as the day when the first blood of the Revolution was shed at Lexington, the first blood spilled by the Rebellion at Baltimore in 1861, and the day when the body of our martyred President, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, was borne through the streets of our National Capital on its way to its resting-place in the West. The body remained lying in state in the Capitol over Thursday, thousands of persons visiting the corpse. DEPARTURE FROM WASHINGTON. Leave Washington, Friday, April 21, 8 A. M. 1 |
