NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS. Grand Procession-O
| 200 Torches.-The greatest display in the way Of
| political torch-light procession of the campaign
| took pl ace last night. An organization styli ng
! themselves the "Natonal Volunteers which was
but recently started in this city, made its first pa
/ rade, and in point of numbers the demonstration
was decidedly the most imposing one of the kind
which has taken place in the city. The organiza
! tion is composed exclusively of the adherents OF
| Breckinridge and Lane Most of the members are
| men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty.
At haltpast six o'clock they nced assembling
In Exchange Place, which in less than an hour was
packed with them. They came in delegations from
the different sections of the city, but did not light
their lamps until they had reached the space. The
equipments consist of lead colored cape, red skull
cap, and swinging lamp similar to that used by the
| Minute Men, but minus the little bell. The officers
| wore red capes, and carried baton instead of a
| lamp. AT balEpast seven o'clock the line was
| formed, the right resting South street, midway
between Baltimore aud Second Streets and the line
! stretching down to Pratt street, and through the
adjacent streets In front large transparency
was borne, bearing one side the names of Breck-
| lnrldge and Lane, and on the side opposite were
the words National Democracy. On the other two
| sides were the words National Volunteers. Imme-
! diately following this were one hundred men, each
| bearing transparency, made of fancy colored pa
per, OF globe shape, and of variety of colors-
| They were followed by one thousand men,
walking four, five and in some instances six abreast
| each bearing lamp. There several bands ci
martial music and one brass band. They filed out
OF South street into Baltimore, and thence to Broad
way. The appearance on Baltimore street was re-
ally beautiful Long before the files had reach
ed the intersection of Baltimore and South streets
the head of the procession had disappeared over the
bridge.
The procession continued to Broadway, and then
proceeded to Old Town through Eden, Alsauith
Madison, Gay, Saratoga, and Calvert streets t0
Monument Square, and marched past the speakers
stand. They were received with tumutuou:
cheers. They continued up town aud visited the
western and southern sections of the city, and then
returned to the square, marched past the stand
and hnaily returned to their quarters. where they
were dismissed. The parade was the greatest sue
cess OF the Kind which has taken place in our city
Inc volunteers VIII turn out again within week,
when 1t Is expected that their numbers will be at
least doubled.
