No Hoors Or HuRRAHs-The Louisville cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette in writing of the
military parade recently made in that city thus speaks
of what the Yankees cali the continuous silence of
unrepentent rebels: J"
Greater demonstrations would probably have been
made by citizens in of tie Northern cities There
would have been greater profusion of flags in any
city north of the Ohio river (there wasn't flag IN.
ured within the city in honor of the guests except at
the headquarters of the society and at the hall where
the meetings were hed,) and the boys little further
north couldn't have refraned from making little un.
usual noise if they had score or more of men
of military distinction from the Commander-in-chief
Of the Army of the United States down to the hon.
ored bearers of the insignas of lesser rank all of
whom distinguished themselves in war, marching in
double columns through their streets But the Louis.
vile boys behaved themselves remarkably 10 this re-
spect They saw Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Nc
Doweil, Pope, and dozen others, marching to and
from the rendezvous, and they ddu't yell at them,
hurrah for them, or cheer them Even the little boys
who follow circus professions, fire engines, and sit in
the third tier at the theatre did stick their fingers
IN their mouths and whistle at them. In these respects
the behavior of the citizens of that commendabe
nature peculiar to Louisville and more Southern cities
In every other respect the reunion much the same
as might have been anticipated in any well-behaved
city, unless it we're with the single exception of the
banquet, which would hardly have been equaled if
gotten up outside of Kentucky; or to be more def.
mite, outside Of the Gait House. How many noses
were elevated ION the y it is hard to say, but they
we're many. Not so many would have turned in any
Northern city of like population.
