There were many others, but we

But while the procession is making
the march, we will give our attention to
THE CROWD AT THE STAND,
Which the best judges estimated at
5000 to 5000, though the Courier
will, we presume, estimate it at so to
100, with 400 per cent. off for Demo
Gratis and johnson men. Certainly
we have never seen so many people
at any time, before, crowded into the
streets of this city, and the faces be-
tokened not only a desire to see and do
honor to brave soldier, bat also ex-
hibited an intelligent desire to hear
him talk of the issues Of the day.
