head, on Magazine Hill. After dark
the colored band performed several
pieces on the Public Square, at the
conclusion of which they repaired to
the residence of Mrs. Hollinshead, to
serenade the distinguished luminaries.
AboS thirty darkies and about fifty
whites-(all Democrats)-followed i'll
the procession, to hear what the gen.
tlemen should have to say for our
