cavalcade led, and the guard Of honor, the City
Wde-Awakes, escorting Gen. Ward, in bis impressive
insignia marched after with bread and almost exactly
even columns showering fire from hand rockets, blend
ing their sharp cheers with the music of Dodworths
band The battalia of the different wards followed
Their ranks were full and as fresh in spirit and quick
and firm in step as If they were advancing to the first
engagement inetesd Of coming out of the smoke and
labor for the laurels of glorious victory.
The spectacle of this dazzling force Of earnest hope
full and reeolute men, devoting the hours of leisure
from the daily struggle of life to the encouragement of
patriotic principles the unanimous utterance of the
everlasting realities of Freedom, and the gliding of the
picture Of political strife with something of the glory Of

was dark and no moon or star was jealous OF single
ray from the moving constellation on the earth the
rockets spntered the thick darkness and each spark
fulfilled its perfect mission of light.

with little flags carried superior uster with it, and
ransparences with the of State and City candi

nor insulting, abounded in the line.
The residence of Mr.. Simeon Draper, on the Fifth
Avenue, opposite the Brevoort House, was in festal
glow from top TO bottom. Quaint anterns, globes of
fire, shining stars, swung at the windows. As the
Wide. Awakes passed, they were saluted with pyro-
tecbnic guthes aud rushes and they responded with
the quick and clear "One-two-three-four five
six-Wide-Awake! Wide-Awake!" The singing of
the Lincoln Dixie was another acknowledgment of
this private jubila;ion.
OF course there was some excitement at the New
York HOTEL few very young persons, thin of lung,
and secretly sbilant mingled with the crowd at that
point and, in a vague and uncertain way, expressed
their sentiments But the cheers for Honest Abe were
so loud and hearty that quite distressing to hear
these rongs Of the dying geese. Indeed, this once
proud and rebeous hostey seemed to have depressed

in the heat of the enemy, and at of the windows

from the Hotel, the observation was venured, in
goOd-humored way, that Z" after next Tuesday thsy
would groan worse than that
Down Broadway and up the 30 very the march WAS
rapid and most regular, and brilliant. The whole
array of gtening caps andcapes, flaming torches and
fireworks, passed in review before the distinguished
participant in the great rally at Palace Garden, or
Union Square, and the Wide-Awskes Of New.York
separated their torches perhaps again TO be
lighted for grand march but their hearts certainly
inspired with the ore motive Of their memorable cam

Error, Humanity and Slavery shall have been forever
drawn in the land OF the freesnd their feet eager TO
march to the polls next Tuesday.
