Celebration of the Fourth Along the Hudson.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, July 1, 1865.
The anniversary Of our national independence has
been properly celebrated at nearly all points along
the Hudson. Here the republicans made it day
for a mass meeting. Large numbers were expected
to arrive from abroad, and many did come,
but not 80 many as was anticipated. All
the regular steamers which land here sent
ashore few, but the excursion steamers Nupha
New Champion, Adelphi and Oyphant were relieved
OF the largest number. The intense heat was great
drawback and interfered seriously with the process
eion, which would have undoubtedly been large had
1t not been for the fact that at the time 10 was to
move the mercury in the thermometer marked one
hundred degrees in the shade. But very few there
fore marched in line. The procession proceeded as
