THE PROCESSION.
And here it comes, with torches, and music,
and banners, with shoutings and rejOioings,
hailed everywhere along its route with cheer
on cheer. First, marches Jack Islands
Band, discOursing splendid music in it's
usual glorious way. Next comes the delega-
tiOn from the Fire Department under the
charge Of Chief Engineer Craw. Each of the
five splendid engines in the procession are
beautifully draped with flags, and ornament
ed with fitting decorations. The brave fire.
men bearing above them the fitting and
truthful motto:
"When Duty Calls, Fireman never Fallers.''
Then comes their ladder, hung with Ian
terms, till, in its luminous glory, it remin s
ons of Jacobs. Hose Companies, Numbers
one and six are next, in splendid order, and
beautifully decorated.
Tue United States Express Company are
represented in the line by three of their
wagons.
Clark's Sixth Ward Band comes next, now
breathing cut strains of meIodiOus sweetness
and anon of patriotic FIRE.
Here, with serried ranks and cleaning
bayonets, GENES Hayward's finely drilled
and finely Ofioered militia regiment, the 29th,
the pride of our city. It's martial bearing
and sOldisrly appearance do credit at once to
its members and to its officers.
Carriages follow next, in which sit the
speakers and officers of the occasion. In the
first we see the form of our loved and honor
ed Governor, David Tod. Worn and weary
from the labor and excitement Of this cam
paign, and yet more from the cares and bur
dens of executive duties, be still looks as if
the enthusiasm and jubilatiOn of the night
had refreshed and reinvigo,ated him. In
the next carriage the people reoOgnize, and
greet with ringing cheers, the face of their
feIlow-eitizsn and " Governor that shall be, -
honest John Brough,-who, thus sitting in
his carriage, is borne along in a triumphal
march reminding one in its splendor and bril-
liancy Of those which the Roman Senate voted
to its Consuls OF Emperors. Then, in the next
carriage, Sigsl is driven by, amid the cheers
of the thousands who recognize him. In the
last General Wright, our efficient and sue,
csssful Quartermaster General is seated.
After the carriages the invalid soldiers
from the U. S. Hospital, two hundred strong,
and all for BrOugb, file by in procession, ac-
companied by band of martial music, and
bearing transparsncieso on which are inscribed
the names of the battles they have fought,
and also true and faithful uttsrances of Union
sentiment. Among the significant notices
which they carry, we observe the following ::
"Wefight to conquer peace"
"Sammy Cox, the Lilliput Peace Warrior
g The Rebel Consul at Windsor"
After these came the various delegations
from the different wards of the city, bearing
torches, and banners, and notices, New
burgh sends splendid delegation. Her
rOlling-mill boys turn out finely. East Cle7e-
land has fine representation too. The va
riOus wards Of the city, under the supervis-
ion of Marshal Townsend, vie with each
other in numbers, in transparencies, in en-
thusiasm; and the West Side sends across
the river delegation of two hundred to swell
the thrOng, marshaIed by Major Palmer.
Many of the Wards, proud of the work they
did on Tuesday, bear inscribed upon their
banners the msjorities that they gave for
Union. The Sixth Ward carries picture of
Brough. In the procession We note a fine
company of soldiers from the 18th Ohio Cav
airy who have recently arrived in Camp
Cleveland. The procession, as a whole, was
most magnificent one. In size, in spirit, in
decorations, we have rarely seen it equaled.
Among the
TRAEsPARANcIEs AND MoTToEs

to be of especial significance:
