From accounts Of our prisoners who have

made their way down through the mountains
on the left for fourteen miles, On the line
Of ret1eat, the roads and country were
covered with email arms, thrown away By
flying rebels and other debries- FortJ-eight
pieces Of artillery captured, are now at my

or destroyed.
The accident Of the morning turned to our
advantage as much as though the whole

MADISON, Saturday, Oct q.
Tho Union Mass Meeting hsre to-day Was
the grandest affair ever Witnessed at the cap
ital, and is pronounced by many who have
attended numerous meetings in the State,
the largest political demonstration which
ever took place In Wisconsin. 1t proved
that the heart Of the people is sound, and
that they are alive to the importance of the
pending contest.
There YVES an immense procession, oySr
two miles lcng, which Occupied over an hour
in passing, and included some five hundred
: teams, comprising delegations from differ
ent parts Of Dane county, some twenty-five
hundred soldiers from Camp Randall, and
four hundred from Harvey hospital, many
Of the wounded heroes In carriages, accom-
panied by Wide Awakes. The procession
was under the direction Of General DIV.
Wood, Chief Marshal. Among the noticca-
BILE features was carriage containing q beau
tifnl personation Of Liberty, Truth and JUS
t!ce; carriages with young Indies aepresent-
Grants Tannery, Press throwing of Unlon
bul1etina% Sugar Mill in full operation.
BlacIsmfth's Shop. Mcclellan and Peudlefon
in divers characters On horseback, Mcclellan

OF Washington, Lincoln, Grant, aud other9,
dsgs and star5from different States, namea
of victories Oh the field and at the ballot
boxes; mottoes expressing admiration for
fighting Gepernls and the determination to
E1bdue the rebellion-the whole surmounted
b5 live eagle, which has gone through the
three yearE' campaign with the 6th Regi-
ment. At the least estimate ten Thousand
to twelve thousand people listened to the
speeches made. snd many more would have
been present but for the storm Of the Prgvi.
