Cess, and an occasion of JOY and pleasure
to their guests. The GAINESVILLE cempa-
MES are excellent organizations, and the
men are credit to the oity
they represent. With such 3 worthy
set of men to guard their city, We are
not surprised GAINESVILLE is 80 free from
the ravages of fire. But the "Colum.
bias" from Allegheny City, eclipsed ev.
erything in the field. They were the
largest and most able. bodied men in the
procession; their organization is COM
plete and thorough, and their oity
should be proud of them. While their
organization exists we should think
Allegheny could Ibid farewell to every
fear as far as destructive fires are con-
cerned. -,
In Centre Wheeling the axle of the
f" Hope" reel broke, and the members
of that company were compelled to leave
it at the Guards Hose House. Beyond
this nothing occurred to mar the festivi-
ties OF tho occasion, and tho parade was
regarded as q complete success in every
respect. We are confident the guests
from Allegheny and GAINESVILLE enjoyed
themselves, and know it afforded our
firemen pleasure to have them here.
In the evening grand ball was given
at Washington Hall, where a jolly time
was had by all present The music for
the occasion was furnished by Thos.
T Cocayne's string band, and was en-
livening enough to keep the firemen in
the best of humOr.

HARD CP, indeed, are the Disuni0n-
lists, for something to crow over. Dis
aster after disaster has befanen them.
until they snatch at the very smallest
crumb ofcomfort imaginable. It seems
that Wiiliansport, in this State, has
elected the Disunion ticket by l2g ma
iority. This i heralded abroad as a
Disunion gain of 200!! But the teie-
graph fails to tell the public, that since
the last election. Williamsp0rt has been
erected into a city, the old borough
limits being extended so as TO take in a
large voting population which has al
ways given immense anti-Democratic
majoritieS. The truth is that the Dem
ocrats gained largely in this election,
their majority in the old borough
wards being 173, the Disunion Aboli-
ton ticket having had majority in
the same wards last fall. So much for
this little crumb of consolation to the
DisuniOnists.

GREAT JOHNSON MEETING IN PHIL
ADELPHEA.
Speeches by Senators COwan and D00Iii-
tie.

Speeches by Senators COWan and D00Iii-
tie.
PHILADELPHIA, May I9.-The "
cademy Of Music was crowded to night
to its fullest eXtent by an enthusiastic
audience of ladies and gentlemen, to
listen to speeches by Senators CoWan
and Doolittle in support of President
Johnson. Henry SimOnS, Esq, occupied
the chair. Senator Doolittle after treat
inc the subject Of the rebellion and the
present issue before the country, de
clared that the man who denied the
Union of the States under the COnstitu-
tion, is himself disuniOnist. Enthu-
siastic applause He refuted the many
calumnieS that had been raised against
the personal character Of the President,
and expressed his firm belief that no
man living, was more assiduouSly and
conscientiously engaged in the dis
charge of his duty to his country than
Andrew Johnson. Loud Applause J
He illustrated the policy of President
Lincoln in the reconstruction of Louis
lana and Arkansas; its admission into
the Union, which policy had been en-
dorsed at the Baltimore Convention,
and by majority in both Houses of
Congress a year ago. to show that the
policy of President Johnson was not a
new one, but that it was in obedience
to the wishes of the Union party. In
stead of the President proving false,
the men who were now leading the
Union party were perverting its grand
objects and intentions, the restoration
of the Union and the enforcement of
the laws.
Senator Cowan followed III an elo-
quent argument in defence of sustain
ing the law, by virtue of which the
the rebellion had been crushed. The
