lnaccordance with the notice and arrange ments, heretofore made, yesterdRy-STm OF JuLY-was observed in this city, as a day of funeral ceremonies, in honor of GEN. JACK SON. The subjoined order of arrangements will indicate the form of proceeding. The procession was a large onc-onc of tho lar gest ever formed in this city. The ladies, ever foremost in awarding honor to exalted merit, turned out in great numbers. The pro ccssiou was formed cl citizens Eoth of town and country. Our patriotic and right minded fellow citizens of Saline county, whose proceedings we published last week, were duly represented, ill the procession.

 The opening prayer, at the State House, by Rev AIr. llunler, of the Methodist Eps- eopal Church, was, in the highest degree, appropriate eloquent and affecting.

 Col L. ]. Reardon, afer few remarks, of perfect aptitude, and exquisite beauty, read the letter of Gen. Jackson to Com. Elliott, declining to be cntombcd in the Roman Sar- cophagus.

 Gen. s. II. IIempstead then rose and dc livered the address, to which he hal been appointed. He dcplored his inability to do justice 10 the great subject, and the over whclming embarrassment under which he Iabored He then proceeded To brief sketch of Gen. Jackson's birth, parcnagc and edn- cation-alluded to his participation in the Revolutionary war-his removal to Temes- sec &c c,-and enumerated Il few of the prom incnt military and civil events in the great life of the greatest man ol his agc Thc ical accuracy. While discoursing of the ln- dian wars, in which Gen. Jackson comman- ded, the speaker rcciied the eloquent speech of the Creek Chief, WEArHERForp, to the General, upon surrcndcring, and acknowl- edging himself yanqushed To ths, the vast asscmblagc responded with an irrcssti- bIe oulburst of applause.

 The Rev. W. W. Stevenson, of the '.Chris- tan Church, pronounced the benediclion in most impressive manner. Whcreupon the large audience dispersed to their respective homes.

 All the business houses were closed du- ring the day; and our city presented the as pect of profound mourning.

 In this conneXion, we cannot omit to men ton tine services of the admirable s'Dutch Bando of the Nessrs. George, which is al- ways called in acquisition upon occasions of public interest. The members of this band are, we believe, all brothers, and are not on- ly excellent musicians, but among our most worthy and valuable citizens.
