As. the " Torch-light procession" Of
Saturday night hove in sight from our
do,n;cil, with its "rub-a- dub-dub,' of
car-splitting fife and rafting drum
corporals guard of men clad in the
glorious pomp of muster day-boys
with candles and men with Transparent
cies--wits its glcc- c!ub, whose melodies
reached the ear through the confabula-
ted and hillubalocd DIN, with the con-
cord and music supposed to attend u
complete lfeaagerie about feeding time
as this grand pageant hove in sight,
We gazcd in mute wonder and set our
wits to work for a term sufficiently full
Of meaning to characterize the 'doin's.
Walker and Webster, with a panorama
Of Yorb0gc, several acres in extent,
2asacd inreyew before our mind s-cyc,
ba. barrca Of term adequate to tho
OCCASION. We thought Of g ovation"
but that meant something triumphal,
and this was 2rag-wc descended the
Isle, and as the atlairw intended for
".orch-light procession we tried to
fit that term to it, but in leu Of torches
there were tal!ow candles, and as pro-
cession' means something orderly and
i.srmon;ous, and this was al! confusion,
fiat cock wouldn't Gght;' i. g. that
term would not apply. We Thought Of
"!izzlc !" and we're about adopting it
as the torn compychcnding all that was
mortal Of ':the grand torch light cclo-
bration in honor Of the Democratic ma
tjOnal triumph, & saving of the Union"
when, on looking round, we recognized
in tho Twilight of the procession, q
Democratic friend who kindly came to
our aid, by addressing US as follows:
.t"The hurry borly 's over,
And the battc's los, aud won,"
and this is the Hsuy-Ear7y|
"HURLY-BURLY" that's it by jim
60, and cit amt any thing else -
I'm confirmation Of the fact that our
Democratic friend thought it a bad case
Of 'hurly-burly,' wcmay state with the
truth on our side that lie was dodging
the responsibility, by slipping along the
slde-walk--,sot IN tile professionally
!. though during the campaign he had
done all he could to achieve the victory
and to save the Union
After the "hurly- burly" had ira
'ersod the streets, it stopped in front
Of Wallacc's Hotel, where the crowd
was considerably enlarged, (for the de-
mocTacy wore now visible, as the 'hurly
our'y' wasdismissed) and Gen. Morris,
Of Greene county, in response to call,
made a short, musical andpoctio speech.
The proceedings were then closed with
cheers, given at uncertain intervals -
Taken altogether the affair was to all
intent and purpose a (" hurly burly."

thrown at the procession. So far as
