THE RALLY.

Wednesday the 2Sth, was truly glorious al
fair--far surprising the expectations of every
one, considering the shortness of the notice.
and the haste with which it was gotten up.
Soon after breakfast, the people began to ar
rive in small companies, and by half past
O'Clock, the town had assumed quite lively
appearance. There was nothing, however,
to denote very extraordinary gathering
But a little before 10 o'clock, in came the
Greenville Club, in gallant style, probably
more than one hundred strong, mounted on
horseback, and bearing splendid banner -
then, in quick succession, came the Middle
brook Club-the Sprng-hill Club-the
Churchville Club-the Mt Scion Club
the Fishersville Club-the Waynesborough
Club-the New Hope Club-the Mount Me-
ridlan Club-but greater than all, the Mount
Sidney Club, in tremendous procession, bear
ing fine flag, and preceded by Band of
Music. The vehicle in which the Band were
seated was drawn by four horses, with COW
ers thrown over them, bearing the following
inscriptions: "lst "Look out Little Van.
she Wings are coming. ''-2nd. "Prepare to 90
to Kinderhook."-3d "Old Augusta O. X.

The scene in our streets at this moment was
anlmating and imposing beyond description
Every part of the town was filed with horse
men. 1t seemed like the gathering of a
mighty army for battle.
The Mt. Sidney Club paid their respects,
IN a body, to our worthy fellow-citizen, LAW
RENEE TREMPER, ESQ, one of the few suryi-
wing officers of the Revolutionary army, who
received his appointment as POSTMASTER, I'M

AS soon as their horses were disposed of
me various Clubs began to form on foot, in
the cross streets, along the eastern end of
Main street, according TO the order desgnat
ed in our last paper, under the direction of
Col. JAMES CRAWFORD, Chief Marshal, and

head, A. b. McCausland, John Wayt. and
b. Walters, Assistant Marshals, who were
mounted on horseback, and distinguished by
sashes
The procession was put in motion about ii
O'Clock, and after moving up Main street
sufficient distance to bring the whole into
line, 1t was countermarched, and proceeded
Immediately to the Courthouse square. The
appearance of the procession, with its various
banners, was truly grand and imposing. We
