The late Gen. Bartow.

--The obsequies of Gen. Francis S. Bartow were celebrated in Savannah, on the 28th ult., in most imposing style. There was an immense military and civic procession, comprising all the companies in the city, with detachments from the several garrisons of the neighboring forts and batteries. The cortege started from Christ Church, where an eloquent funeral sermon was preached by Bishop Elliott. The entire population of the city was present, and manifested the deepest sorrow. The bells were tolled and minute guns fired during the march of the column. A salute of three rounds was fired by the infantry and artillery over the grave.
