shores, called forth renewed and prolonged demon
strations Of enthusiasm. The Sisters Of the South
next invited those Of the North to their boat where
| the circle was reformed. Each lady bore in her
hand small flag, having the name of the State she
represented upon it. After this last Union, those of
the South exchanged flags with those Of the North,
making very pretty incident. The boats, lashed
together, then proceeded up the river, amid shouts
from the masses on the shores and salutes from the
batteries. They proceeded as far as the mouth of
Deer Creek and then descended to the Covngton ferry
landing, where after pleasant interchange, through
Col Finnel, on the part of Kentucky, and T. P. Nor
ton ESQ.,, on the part of Ohio, the boats were sepa.
rated and returned to their landings.

and exceeded in gaity and enthusiasm anything Of
| the kind we have ever witnessed.

rockets from the two shores mingling together.

crowd was soon there-a cro,cd too large for conlp

speakers not advertised figured Nor was this all.
Numerous clubs parded the streets with torchlghts

end to the supporters Of Fillmore and Doneson.
They were everywhere.
Several other torch-light professions marched
