A. travelling correspondent Of the New
York Tines writes regarding Cincinnati,
which he lately visited;
Beneath Cincinnati's smoke the fires of
loyalty and patriotism burn brightly This
fact was evidenced in thunder tones at the
grand Republican mass meeting last even
ing. The telegraph has already given you
brief account of it; but will trespass so
much upon the valuable space of the Tines
as to refer more at lehgth to this popular
outburst. ] have seen nothing Ike it du-
ring this campaign, and nothing Ike It IN
any other, except some of the gra1d rallies
for Lincoln and Douglas, respec1Rely, in
1860. II had been announced Ia y quiet
and transformations way for several days,
that Colonel r. w. Thompson, of Indiana,
and General Gibson, of Ohio, wouIa,a

Thompson is known as an eloquent speaker,
as an associate and eompeer OF Henry Clay
and Tom Corwin, in old Wing days, and as
a good Republican stumper, not running
for office. General Gibson was remembered
as Fighting Boy in Blue" who parti-
eipated in his thirty battles, and now runs
for Congress in the Tiffany, Ohio District,

ton to the good cause. The Democrats had
but yesterday presented their Compression
al and county ticket, in opposition to the
roster of Republican soldiers previously
presented for the suffrages of the people OF
this populous city. The hour Of assem-
blage came. Thousands upon thousands of
citizens thronged the broad market place,
where the addresses were to be delivered,
blocking it up for several squaro3 COM
pactly and enthusiastically. 1t was indeed
a verification of the apotnegm of whole
acres Of people, A sea Of intelligent up
turned faces greeted the first speaker,
General Gibson, who addressed the multi
Jude eloquently for an hour and a half.
The interest in his clinching arguments and
pathetic appeals to the patriotic feelings Of
the people did not flag. As far as his voice
could be heard the jam was intact. At
length be was interrupted by the ap.
proaoh of the grand procession Of
the " Fighting Boys in Blue "Grant
Guards" and other loyal organizations,
uniformed or otherwise, carrying torches
and transparencies, led by % Grant Cav
alryi-the long procession, more than a
mile in length, interspersed with bands and
martial music. The roar of artillery and
constant display of fireworks, appropriate
to the occasion, added greatly to the en-
livening scene. All speaking ceased for
an hour, while the brilliant procession
wound through the dense mess which filed
the streets for squares-a difficult under
taking, when we consider that at least
10000 people stood within sound of the
speakers stand. Contrasted with the
grand rally" of three evenings previous
by the Democracy, that affair dwindled
into dull ward meeting on rainy night.
This fact the Democracy feel keenly-the
more keenly as it comes so suddenly upon
their Congressional and county nonina-
tons. As a mass meeting it proved
happy success.
Among the speakers was Hon. Job Ste
Venson, the Republican nominee for Con
gress in the Second District, in opposition
to Sam Cary, the demagogne and renegade.
Mr.. Stevenson was patriotic War Demo

prospect of walking over the course with
