' BRASS BAND, UNION CAMPAIGN CLUB. , This part of the-first division was composed of soldiers who had done service on many a well-con tested battle field. They numbered, about three thousand five hundred men. At the extreme right was an illuminated monument drawn on a wagon * the Inscription upon it was in these'words • “Tn memory ol the bravo.” . Then followed a transparency representing Presi dent Lincoln with an uplifted maul. He is engaged in the disagreeable dutyof smashing a copperhlad snake coiling at ids feet, A number of small lanterns were carried by the Ddyence guard, with various mottoes, the most Striking of which was the following: “ Peace Sherman, Farragut.” BAND OF' FORTY PIECES. Here followed the first division of the Union Cam paign Club. Next came the second division or first battalion of veteran soldiers, two thousand four hundred strong. They carried a number of large transparencies, plenty of small ones, and nearly two. thousand torohes. From amongjthe many mottoes we notice the following: “ Free Ballots for Patriots.” “ Free Fight for Traitors.” - “An Undivided Union.” “No Party but our Country.” “ Sherman got up Early on Monday momlng,” ; “ A Free-Ballot for ail Loyal’Men.” “ “ Robert, I will not hdrt you' too much-: I will .fight you gentlemanly.”— Antietam: ' TRANSPARENCIES. A defer sized banner was borno aloft that attract ed more than drdionry attention. On the top of it, in large letters, we learned that It wasVThe Temple of the Union.” In the foreground a number ofwork men were busily engaged in erecting the temple, or at least making an addition to it of another column. A crowd of ladies and gentlemen are looking on ap provingly. To the left is a broken column labelled McClellan ; the workmen are engaged in removing it-.. The columns are arranged In a straight line, each, being named after a President, from the first to the last. That dedicated to Buchanan is repre sented as split; the one about to be placed in posi tion is named Idncota. The work appears to be going on finely and successfully, and the group of admiring spectators ate ready to give cheerß at the proper time. The motto on this banner was this: “ UNION—DEATH TO TBAITORS.” Then followed other large lanterns, containing a choice selection of mottoes, as follows: • “ No compromise with traitors In arms.” “Engineer of the railroad to Salt Elver, idol George.” ■ “ A platform is the party’s soul—a candidate is the party’s body ; separate jtke body from the soul, and death ensues.” “Be as firmly united for our Government as the rebels are against it.” “If you vote for McClellan yon vote for Pendle ton.” “ Peace men oontrolled the Chicago Convention.” 1 The followitg motto is worthy of reflection, as it la an answer to the aspersions of the ignorant that .s, president Lincoln commenced the war: . \ “Secession is not the event of a day; it has been a matter nursed for thirty years.”— Rliett, of South Carolina, . f' : Now comes a warning voice from that great peace maker, Lieut. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant: ". “ Their only hope is. in a divided’North.”—If S. Grant. ... - Then, following, we have an extract from an ad dress of Goreral McClellan to the Army of the Po ■ tomac. As a small part of impartial history it is re. freshing: ; ' “ The campaign shall be. short, sharp, and deol- Sive.” — McClellan. ..... ’ To which the following reply is made by some of Ills veteran troops : ; . “We intend to make it so.”—lst Bat. Union Cam paign Chib ” The next motto that came under our observation ■was an extract of a letter from the Intrepid General Sherman, who says: “ Onr Government, though a democracy, should In time of trouble be able to wield the power of a. great nation. ”-W. T. Sherman.' “We ignore all political elements ttf’save the Union; we must be either for or against the rebel* lion.” “Pendleton, the peaee-on-any.tenns candidate, never voted a mail or a dollar to crush the rebellion or sustain the soldier’s widow. That’s what’s’the matter.” TRANSPARENCY, We noticed here a transparency that attracted many a commendable remark among the thousands' ofloyal people on the sidewalk. The picture repre sented a large cannon-ball, labelled U. S.': it Had spent its force, and, in roiling over to arestingplaoe on an uncnltivnted.part of Southern soil, it mashed .a copperhead, snake. The motto on this transpa rency is “An Instigator Punished.” - Among other mottoes were the following: ’ “If is dangerous to swap horses while crossing the Stream.” - • • : -- ° ; “The nominees of the Chicago Convention are the rebels’ only hope,” “A change of base will, not save him this cam paign ; wo have too many hankers.” “we have fought the enemies of our country In the field ; we now turn our attention to those at home.” ■ HISTORICAL, On a pretty large banner, carried by a- veteran of over three years’service, was the following from a page of political history. It is useful for future re ference: “106,298 Democrats In the Keystone State voted against af owing the soldiers in the field to vote. Gen. McClellan is the candidate of this partv—how do you like it . * .. “We have heard of *' Old Hickory,’ hut Quaker guns and other ‘ Wood ’ don’t suit us.” “The heart of the people beats true to the Union.” • “ Who moved to make the nomination of McClel lan unanimous? Vallands'gham, the traitor.” “No base strategy ; do you Grant our peacemaker a line to Weld-on !” . ■ “ If we do not sustain the army and navy, how can they sustain us 1” TR AITSP ABBNOY. • A conspicuous transparency came In for a very great share of praiseworthy remark, and almost a universal response .ofapprobation as it moved along the streets. This device consisted or six likenesses from photographs, of Grant, Sherman, Meade, Far- and Hancock. These likenesses •were painted by an artist who seemed to ha retaken some care in finishing the work: The transparency represents these six grea t men of the nation as the “•Union .Peace Commissiqpers,. appointed byAbra ham Lincoln, President of the United States.” On Chestnut street particularly this banner was received with universal approval. The ladies in the windows of private mansions and at all the large hotels on tuat street waved their handker chiefs, while an immense mass of men on the side-’ walks cheered then selves hoarse. The scene was exciting to every patriot.

This device was arched over with flowers of of every hue. A stand of colors carried by jersey j ? on ®° battle-field were 'silso borne aloft by this delegation. On one of the banners was the fol lowing motto: “ Copperheads for free ballots or a fight—they can have both.” Another motto: Ballots for Union men; bullets ibr traitors.” This was on a large lantern conveyed on a wagon. CAMP Aids' CLUB- OP TZILMINOTON. Tho remarks made relative to assigning a posi tion to the delegation from New Jersey may bo made in reference to the “ Bine Hen’s Chickens.” This delegation arrived from Wilmington, Dela ware, in the evening line, and taking up their line of march from the Baltimore depot, brought, nr, tho rear or extreme left of the First Division. Tliev made a very creditable appearance, appearing in caps and capes, red, white, and blue in color-mfstly Band of Music. and flags flying in the breeze.

A screen being erect ed In front theieof, a variety of pictures were pre sented, mostly consisting of the faces of our victori ous generals in the army, President Lincoln, battle scenes, &c. This received many a cheer as the tri umphal procession moved along the densely-efowded streets. Then came the HAUSER CADETS, a well organized body of young men, bearing many patriotic devices. A large banner was borno at the head of the cadets, representing the Aurora Borealis; motto, “Northern Lights Illumine the World. At the bottom of the picture was the Im proved motto: “No Copperhead Serpent can live In the Temple of Liberty.” On the reverse was the following, inside of a scroll representing a copper hoad snake: “ George B. Mculellan, the nominee of tiie Chicago Convention, and his Cabinet—C. L. Yallandigham, D. W. Voorheea. W. B. Reed, Chauncey Burr, I. Rynders, Fernando Wood.” Quite a number of very suggestive banners were carried In this ward—one representing a green tur tle, with tte simple word “greenback” printed thereon. SECOND WARD. Band. . This ward turned out In large numbers and had a considerable number of banners, some of them arranged with remarkable taste. A transparency carried near the extreme right representeef a man straddling a ra l, with a copperhead colling at his feet. Then came a wagon containing a large trans parency of McClellan, with his head just above water, calling out to some soldiers to save him. The reply, they can’t do it, because of a millstone around his neck. This stone is emble matic of Pendloton, the peace-at any-price candi date for the Tice Presidency. Two balloon or egg-shaped lanterns, embellished with American flags, attracted much attention. Here followed a great variety of lanterns contain ing many mottoes, of which the following are speci mens : Pile of cannon-balls, labelled “ Pills for Rebels,” “ Our Peace Commissioners,” “ Sanitary Measure for Jeff Davis,” “No Plank here Loose,” “ Gut-boat George.” . • , . - In a prominent position was a wagon, containing several rail-splitters hard at work. This was a pleasing feature, and was the theme of many a con gratulatory remark, The wagon was labelled In large black letters, “ Llnooln Rail splitters.” Representation of gallows; motto, "platform of traitors.” Another representing “rail-shooters.” Transparency representing the “ bliss of victory.” Another transparency representing the oath of President Lincoln to defend the Constitution and the laws. Transparency in a wagon containing likenesses of ; Lincoln and Johnson. . . Transparency representing an eagle with a cop perhead in its beak. The reptile is tightly held about the neck. Transparency representing a big frog croaking >for 125 majority in one of the precincts for Lincoln and Johnson. This part of the delegation came from a part of the Neek. There were also carried a large number of octagonal lanterns, containing a variety of mottoes, such as “no compromise with traitors, “we are coming, Father Abraham,” &c. The ward representation, as a general thing, was decidedly creditable. The extreme left was brought ,up by a delegation of gentlemen dressed in dark clothirg,carrying with them staves. Here came another large transparency with a likeness of President Lincoln thereon. On the top was tho following: “The next Presidenton-the bottom: “The George Washington of the nineteenth century.” Motto— 11 One national grave for us all as a pre ference to disunion,” Another transparency represented McClellan about being crushed Into the grave of oblivion by the Chicago platform; the demon of discord stands near by, laughing and dancing at the prospect. Another demon of discord exclaims, “l ain for Mc- Clellan.” ' On the reverse of one of the banners was a scone incident to a dishonorable peace; slavoryie-esta blished and the Goddess of; Liberty .weeping. THIRD WARD Cavalcade. Brass Band. This ward turned out In goodly numbers, and had quite an array of attractive and amusing lanterns. The ward was led off by a wagon containing an alarm bell. A large transparency containing the following motto must appeal to the common sense of.everybcdy : “ The question in-the present crisis is narrowed down to patriotism and treason.” ’ Transparency representing the campaign in Vir ginia and In Pennsylvania. Motto: “Both give promise of a speedy peace.” A large ana .amusing transparency on a wagon represented President Lincoln seated in Ms parlor. He has on his hand a very little man, holding a •spade. The President Is dancing the little feliow up and down like a toy puppet. - . , Another banner contained the fQUowing motto: “Grant will take Virginia—we will keep Phila delphia;” f 1 A large transparency, with.handsome device, hid the great motto of, the patriotic General Dix: “If any man attempts to pull down the flag, shoot him on the spot.” • ■ ■ - . Another motto that awakened emotions or de light was : “ The stars and stripes for all the world.” Then followed another banner representing the" spirit of the age. The members of the Second ward carried many patriotic devices, badgep, &c. _ 4 FOt’ltTH WARD. ■ The Unionists of this benighted section of our city.made a creditable display, though not.numeri cally as strong as some other wards. They were led off by an efficient band of musicians. On a wagon, drawn byfour splendid horses, was a transparency representing the Goddess of Liberty. A silk banner, containing, a likeness of Henry Olay, was also in the line; Then followed an array of octagonal-shaped banners or lanterns, containing a variety of mottoes, among which we observed the following: “Our whole country,-’ “A bright spot in Egypt,” Ac,* A cavalcade brought up the rear of the ward, and thus they passed along in the great moving .panorama, FIFTH WARD. Band. The Goddess of Liberty on a large banner was borne at the head of this ward; the motto, “ Victory will bring.us Peace." Then came another banner informing the specta tors that Pendleton, the right-hand supporter of Vallatdigham and McClellan, said '‘ Thank God, I never, - noted a man or a dollar to help this ” This motto doubtless made a deep impression on the mines of. thinking people. Another banner made the following announce mentlf the Locofoeo who offered $2.26 for a gold dollar will apply, he can have it for ..... A wagon urawn by horses, having thereon a pro fusion of American flags, contained the following motto The Union, One and indivisible.” . Thc-n came another fancy banner, with a hio- 5 announcing “ The Fifth ward is coming.” -: ? ’- Another wagon soon came to view, it had on its front a large transparency of President Lincoln. On the bottom part ofthe picture was the following, motto, that may be considered a pretty clever plav : upon words: 1 . - “A fair type of a noble form that no rebellious Joe can knock into Pi—Stick and rule." The wagon contained'a printing press, the men at work. The document distributed from this grand institution is as follows: 5 FRUITERS’ TRACTS, NO. 1. “In Union.there is strength.” U “No ‘rats’ of any .‘Age’ Tor Sheriff.” - “ Stand by the Union,” “ The time has come.”— Lincoln. “We don’t want yonr negroes, or your horses, or anything you have.

Prominent in the front of this division was carried a large transparency, bearing upon Its ftont a well-executed painting of the Goddess of Peace and the Goddess of Liberty. The eyes of the warlike deltyj were of raven hue. and seemed flashing .firej; alike upon the' enemies of our at?ffome.and abroad.

By the: side of this paintirg was the appropriate inscription—“ Victory gives us peace.” On another side of this transpa rency was written,When, slavery becomes com mon industry sinks into disgrace.” On another side the following extract from Bayard Taylor’s Stirring lines on “The Chicago Surrender” wore in- scribed : “What! hoist the white flag when our triumph is nigh’ - What! crouch before treason, make Freedom aliah What! spike all our gnnswhon the foe is at bay, !

The little fellow seemed conscious of the power of his position, for ho gravely sat upon bis haunches, surveyed the dancing sea of light, and the swaying, gaily-dressed throng that lined the sidewalks as if born to rule them. He was a good Union coon, too, for as the melody of “Ballyround the flag, boys,” went up from-a thousand throats, and cheer after cheer was wafted on the gusts of the cold north wind, from up the line and down the line his eyes sparkled and his teeth gleamed as If he too would like to rally round the flag, and with nature’s own Shining weapons put its enemies to flight.

The Fifth Grand Division, embracing'the several associations of the Fourteenth. Fifteenth, Twenti eth, Twenty-first, and. Twenty-fourth wards, formed on Broad street, north oi' Coates; and then took up Its position on ArSh street, east of Broad, right on Broad street. Accordingly, at an early hour in the evening the wards embraced In this division began to assemble in Broad north of Coates. The light of day had scarcely withdrawn, and the silver of the moon scarcely began to blend with the shadows of twilight when the orowds began to pour in. At,- this rendezvous, it will bo borne in mind, Broad and Coates streets and Ridge road Intersect one another, affording quite a variety of points for the accommo dation of crowds, and presenting a magnificent sweep for the eye. It is precisely tho spot where; the most can he made out of a display such as took place tixere on Saturday night. The wide stretch of streets, the long, regular, and intersecting avenues crossing each other at right angles and diagonally, and the great advantagespresented for the evolution of companies, render it a splendid position, both for observation and for carrying out ail arrangements necessary to a magnificent processional display. Consequently, all points available, and many which seemed scarcely capable of being made available, were seized upon—seized with a determination, too, which almost partook of ferocity, so eager and im perative was tho desire to see all that could be seen of even the initial preparations for the parade In that comparatively remote part of the oity. Every lamp-post became a nucleus, radiating from, and encircling which, grew crowded circles, ail drawn together by the same common chords, like the thread-like lines that, make up the warp and woof of the . spider’s, web. The curbstones were lined with human beings, who stood anh cluqg together as thickly- and. rootodly as though they had budded forth, from human feet sown there, and were as immovable as the awning poles near which they held Companionship. The neighboring fences and stalls were similarly packed, as tightly as they'ever were' with fruit or market produce. Window ledges, sigh-posts, step f of public buildings, and .private-, residences, /balco nies, railings, tree boxes, steps,car plat forms, boxes .and barrels,; piles’of,dumber,, lamp post boxes, were all turned to serve the'purpose of the? hour, and wore made to feel the pressure of feet, the . tenacity ofhands and arms, and the whole burden of bodies-which, tightly wedged-.together as they were, yet wriggled and writhed to a considerable extent. Everybody was: talking, - speculating, won dering, exhorting, reprimanding. Tree boxes, curb stones, and thoroughfares were alike vocal, and the local Sbakspeare would have said there were tongues in the trees, brooks in the running gutters sermons in the paving stones, and Unionism in everything, meanwhile the oars, bearing families in squads to the different scenes oi action, were mo mentarily rushing by, crowded to such an extent as even car conductors seldom .have the privi lege of witnessing. Kofc only wore the seats so packed as to be beyond the influences of a pressing machine; not only was there no stand ing-room within or without; not only at every cor ner were the platforms frantieally thronged until one scarcely knew whether he was oh the car or not; hot only were dismal and desperate endeavors made to achieve the roof of the car or to perform a gymnastic, miracle by forming 1 attachment to the exterior side by the Ingenious device of looping the arm around the window sash; hut there were double and triple rows of those both-sitting and standing. Men and women sat on each others’ laps in perfect confidence In one another’s powers of endu rance, and children of all sizes, (like papers of pin 3) were stuck in and around, according to taste orneces sity. And as these oars glided by, the very horses en teringir.to the fun and the excitement of the thing, and ilio drivers in the highest state of hilarity and affability, the scenes where the wards were collect ing and organizing became each moment mote brilliant ana vivid. Far up Broad street, and away to tie hills beyond, tho spirit of excitement glowed. In ; these localities whose wards were being repre sented at the Broad street rendezvous, the streets were aglsre with 'thousands of lights.- Some of the' streets which for the year round Are among the quietest and least excited in the city, were ablaze with gas and enthusiasm. Whole squares , were lighted up. Along Green and ait. Vernon streets rows of houses were illuminated from the threshold to the roof-ledge. Over sidewalks and the green lots (where the chirping insects which make night musical mnst have wondered what on earth was the matter) was shed a mellow splendor which; extending for many a rod, gave to the silent and re mote localities through which; parts of' the pro-; cession had , already passed an air of unreality and enchantment which was far from: being detracted from by the unscrupulous display of rich fur niture and gala dresses. In many of the parlors, drawing-rooms, and: boudoirs the chan deliers were draped with silk flags, • and wreathed about with unique cevlcca from red, and white, and bluo flowers. From- almost every window, whenever portions of tie parade came in sight, handkerchief'and flags streamed, and shouts whose hoarseness had a leaven of female sweetness in it, encouraged-the ranks to proceed still more exultingly upon their way. “ Rally round the flag, boys ” is a favorite tune with piano-play ers, as well as with brass bands, and; accordingly,: ffommany a window rang out the exciting'strains of “ Rally round the flag, boys,” sung by a piano accompanied chorus, whose'dimensions were sug gestive of all the opera-choruses in- thes world put together, and .whose reiteratedendeavors seemed all the’more herculean, because, as they died away, the still small voice of tho piano pcoming' meekly after seemed very-still and small indeed. Indeed, the neighborhood that surrounded the depot of the Fifth division and the crowds which cheered and accompanied Its progress’were among the most ani mated of the whole affair. And whilst in private • houses and in “quiet” streets enthusiasm was work ing itself up above blood heat, the Fifth division, em bracing the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Twentieth, Twen ty-first, and Twenty-lburth wards, was getting into marching order. Standingat a central point at Broad and Coates streets, long lines and broad litas of light were seen advancing. The roads, -briglitUs'-thev. had previously, been .when shoeted wHh'a moonlight oi brilliancy, seemed to have been dark imforei so intenso was the glare of the numberless'-torches Every boulder seemedto have been sowh withseeds from which a gigantic flower of light’had sprung tin to cast abroad its splendor, with all its in tensity (for a, fewbrief hours.

Tho Fifth. division was to take .up ita position oil Arch street, east of Broad street, This vicinity being ot ker divisions as well, was ia a state of todesorlbable and almost inextricable confusion. To give soree idea of the dimensions of-the Fifth dl- TisioiJ, it will be well to bsar In mind that its length, when m a compact body and ready for marching extended down Arch street, .from Broad to. Thirl teenth, and up Thirteenth to Ooates. Throughout that whole extent of Arch, and Thirteenth, streets, the line was bristling with light, and alive with mu sic, was.girt m with crowds which rendered th 6 side walks -almost impassable, and ‘whs vociferously cheered from hundreds of illuminated windows The transparencies and mottoes were: most con spicuously placed and carried, and were hailed - with cheers, which went off like volievs ofimus.- ketry. - - v - .. J ■' THE.I-OUKTBSKTH WABD. ' . The Fourteenth ward headed .the Filth division and was followed by the Fifteenth, Twentieth Twenty-first, and Twenty-fourth wards, in order. In the Fourteenth ward, one of the transparencies represented . a cannon, underneath-^which' was placed the suggestive title, «Our Generals’ speaking-trumpet.” Among the mottoes Were— “ Our cause it is just, in God is our trust;” “Vote tor Lincoln and honorable Peace—vote for McClellan . and :an Armistice« The Union.; wo lovo _it for the glorious memo ries of the past, and the still more glorious hopes for the future“ Soldiers In War, ‘Freemen in Peace, we vote for Lincoln “ The soldier is every patriot’s friendNo Copperheads hioed apply }■*-« The people’s choice, Abraham Lincoln :” “ Preserve our country“ No Surrender “ Our whole country“ Our Northern mudsills arvoon queringPeace at Atlanta and Richmond ‘“Our country owes her Independence to Washington,' her preservation to Lincoln.” In the Fourteenth ward, likewise, a transparency represented a train of cars at fnlMspeed, and which derived a mighty signifi cance, irom-one of the ears being denoted; the “Peace” and the other the “War’“car. •flinops the mottoes of the Fifteenth ward were “ Northern Progression opposed to Southern Tyranny ;” “ Every vote east by Pendleton In Congress was against the Government and against the soldier;” “ The tinlon line starts Early—Keen from under the wheels“ Soldiers, the Uom>er hesds voted against giving you the right otsur frage;” “Lee superseded by McUlellan“The spirit of the age;” “There are but two parties, those who support and encourage the rebels.,-and those who oppose them;” “Ohanga of base'from Richmond to Chicago;” “ The Republic shallliye— Rebellion shall die]*’, “If you want peace vote- for Lincoln and Johnson;” “ Grant’s-’beverage for traitors—Meade;” “A little Grant for a large victory;” “Our God, our flag] tad ’Liberty;” “McClellan, the pet of Jed - Davis;” “The time has come” (Lincoln;) “ Let us be men tad ll Pf“ r it put” (Sherman ;) “A conquered peace \vill be lasting,” Among the transparencies In this ward was one .representing Mr. Lincoln hold ing a lilllputian McClellan on the palm of his hand and exclaiming, “This reminds-me of a little joke,” - : - The Twentieth ward had a fine display of cavalry, and Its tri-colored torches made a very beautiful and brilliant appearance. , Among the mottoes oc curred “ Ourcountry, one and_undlvidedWe’re good for seven hundred majority“ Gob Grant Guns and Gunboats;” “Union, now and forever;” “ Abraham Lincoln, an honest man! the people de mand his re-election;” “ Ours is the true and only flag forever“ The Government mußt be preserved or Heaven will weep and traitors laugh aloud as liberty, truth, and justice are swept from the land ” Among the transparencies was a representation of the Union tree, underneath whose branches, repre senting the,various States, are tho lines : “ Yes, 1 will spare tout tree, Nor touch a siDglo bough ; In youth it sheltered me," And I’ll protect it now.” twenty-kirst ward. AmoDg the Bhining ranks of the Twenty-first ward were the mettoes: “ Union and Liberty for ever “ Abraham Lincoln, the soldier’s friend -” “No room for. traitors;” “No wkite-feather policy,, no slave-holding peace Democracy ” The display in the .Twenty-first ward by the’ Rising Sun* Cavalry- was very fine Indeed, forming one of the features of the division. It was heartily cheered, and the unbroken brilliancy with which this ward connected the Twentieth with the Twen ty-fourth was greatly admired. wgL B Twenty-fourth ward, which completed the Fifth division; was a most handsome termination to' It. The Summit House Union League and the old Klngsossing displays were varied and Imposing. Among the mottoes were “No terms with traitors' In arms;” “Rally ’round tho flag, boys-” “That change of base won’t get the soldier’s vote-” “in Union there Is strength;” “Onr old pilot’ must stand by the helm four years more“ a big thing on lee—Armist-tcf“Our country—those that don’t like It, let them move out;” “ Where liberty dwells, there Is my country“ We will ioln no palrty that will not Tallin and keep stop to the music of the Union“ We hold the Weldon Railroad by aGeneral Grant of the United ;states.” It-Is not an easy thing to Imagine the whole procession uoon Its march. Neither the eye northe Imagination can take it in at once. But neither is It possible to oorn prehend at- once the stupendous magnificence of this division as It stood in one oompaot and glowing body, ready to move at the word of command,, and t 0 P*? 8 ! its , exultant way when the deep mouthed bell should bray forth the note of warning. Extending, have before mentioned, the whole ofthe long distance down Arch street to Thirteenth, WAItD, TWENTIETH WARD TWKHTY-YOURTH WARD, • ana up Thirteenth as far as Coates (aha, before the. . division Vras in marching order,and the various wards' made to imihedlately join one another in a compact whole, it extended squares and .squares beyond), extending thus, through street after street, the Fifth division formed a procession of itself-that would have delighted and amazed. For it was not only' the numbers whioh were apparent. It was not only the quantity of torches, all blazing away as though they were expending their strength in every flash and twinkle; nor was it the incessant firing of rockets and roman candles, and myriad-colored lights, which illuminated afresh the whole route, and sent stars and serpents, and rainbow-hued arches and beautiful devices of every fantastic description careering over the heads of thou sands ; nor was it the flags and banners, and streamers which waved irom hundreds of points, and which profusely decorated every car* riage and vehicle of whatever nature that appeared in this division; neither was it the music, swelling up as if it knew what it was being executed for, and rejoiced in the knowledge that the bands and instru ments were so numerous, and followed each other in such quick succession that one tune scarcely died away ere another came capering In Its, rear; neither was it that the mottoes and trans parencies were all illuminated' to the last de gree of brilliancy, and held aloft, and incessantly revolving with tireless pertinacity; neither was it, simply the good feeling maintained between the different wards and divisions; it was neither of these things individually; it was not they only uni ted which rendered this portion of the parade, in common with the others, a display at once so genial and glorious. It was the overflowing amount of pure patriotism which pervaded the breast of every man throughout, which centralized all interests for the time and amalgamated all wishes and ambitions for 'the moment. As each ward came up and passed by, it was received with fresh cheers—cheers and huzzas so hearty that one would have thought they "were either the first cheers that had been given during the night, or would, at' least, bo the last. The Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth wards, comprising the Fifth Division, all receiv ed their tokens of public admiration, not only from the crowded centres by which they passod, but even In those isolated portions of the city where the tail-end of it extended. Some of the flag-staffs wore so profusely ornamented with bouquets and wreaths tha t the perfume lingered in the air for some mo ments alter the flowers were out of sight. And this suggested one thought to him who was inclined to be contemplative as the gorgeous lights, and the thrilling music, and the panting crowd faded away .in the distance, and the thought was that, like the perfume, the memory of the triumphs of that hour will long remain with those who participated in it,- even when the events which begot it are submerge! in the past. SIXTH CSltJjn DIVISION. In conscquonee of the great length of the proces sion, and the comparative shortness of the route, part of the Fifth and the whole of the Sixth divisions obtained no place in the line formed on Broad street. But when that street, between Arch and Chestnut, had been partially cleared by the steady though narrow.stream of men, and horses, and dancing lights that flowed as from a great reservoir into Nineteenth street, the divisions were formed. But the delay occasioned placed the rear of the third division - far in advanoe, and it was not overtaken. Thus a great gap whs made, and in effect two grand" processions formed. This second procession, com posed of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-second, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, and Twenty-sixth wards, marched, over the route pre serlbtd as far as Sixth street, thence down Sixth to- Walnnt, down Walnut to c Fifth, up Fifth to Areh, and up Arch to the place of dismissal. The head of this procession reached Sixth and Chestnut streets about 11.15 P. M., and the rear passed at about 12 25 A. EL, thus requiring more than an hour to pass that point. Here the people were packed Into a solid mass, and a channel for the passage of the great stream was formed, bounded on each side by a living wall, with a few policemen for buttresses. But we have only to do with the Twenty-second, Twenty-third, and Twenty-fifth wards. TWEKTT-SBOOKD IZARD. Tbi3 ward was strong in point of numbers, inclu ding a large cavalcade, a numerous body of soldiers, and a lull band; The transparencies promised “ 600 majority for Abe and Andy“We will not make sucha ‘base’ change as McClellan,” Ac. A ball, mounted upon a wagon, was kept rolling, ever roll ing. As this division passed the headquarters of the National Union Campaign Club, hundreds of Ho man candles began discharging their fire of red and blue amid a wilderness.of sparks. An eagle, with wirgs outspread, decorated one of the transparen cies. On a scroll appeared the motto : “No white feather in this bird.” A frog, labelled Jeff Davis, was blue with his frantic efforts to attain the size of an elephant standing near by, marked Abraham Lincoln. The frog was represented as saying, “I shaii bs independent, and as groat as you, or the Confederacy shall perish,” , ' THE TWENTY-THIRD WARD. Tbs delegation from this ward was numerous and higbiy respectable, and was under the direction of Mr. John Garsed, and was made up of citizens of Frankford, Holmesburg", Bustleton, Fox Chase, and the numerous other towns and villages that dot the surface of this extensive and prosperous ward. A star of fire, called the “ Star of Liberty,” preceded , a cavalcade of perhaps two hundred horsemen. A wagon bearing illuminated muslin globes, colored. In sections of re d,white; and blue,foUowed; and then came .’quite a feature of the display, another wagon, that must have been intended to represent some sylvan bower or some romantic grotto. Arches sprung from the«ides and end, and-intersected each other at every point and.; every angie; .all. were . thickly covered with evergreen, holly, and climbing cle matis, lightly springing up thei“ rises” and falling •in graceful festoons from the centre. Little flags waved at every point, in the clear light of the torches distributed over the structure. The deft fingers and fine taste of the ladies was clearly evidenced in this. Two or three little boys were in the midst of this bower, partly hidden in Its exuberance. The torches that illuminated the bower it was their business to keep alight. Then came another, feature—a miniature muslin repre sentation of a monitor, with turret revolving, ports opened, and guns peeping out menacingly. The turret was covered over with inscriptions of a cha racter in keeping with the object or the turret and the hard knocks its original hadrecetved, “ This 13 tlm way to peace,” was one; “Abraham Lincoln and the Union,” another ; “Jeff can break !the law, but not this,” another.: The delegation from Fox Chase carried a banner trimmed with evergreen, but the inscription was not legible, because of the dark ness, The Union League Campaign Club was out in force, and among those who willingly and patiently travelled over the long, rough, cobble-stoned route, we recognized some of the most respectable resi dents of the town. The ward, therefore) in a great part rural, made a display that rivalled that of any of her city sisters. The numbers were a publication in advance of an overpowering Union vote in the ward.-' •. v ■. THE TWBNTi>FIFTH WARD. dia not come under our observation.

This ward was preceded by the Cardington Mili tary Band, followed by a cavalcade of two hundred men, who made a very creditable appearance.

From what cause, it is impossible to say, the Merewnj yesterday pub lished an atrocious canard to the effect tbat Grant’s army had been driven from Richmond, and Bir ney’s eorps-cut to pieces.

Nothing that we can say can add to the force to tlie tremendous revelations of the vast Union celebration, of Saturday night. Never before was such a procession seen in-Philadelphia; never were loyal princi ples and loyal men welcomed with more enthusiasm. If anything were needed to prove the unparalleled popularity of the President, it could be no longer doubted by those who heard the uninterrupted cheers for Abraham Lincoln given along the. entire route by hundreds of thou sands of our citizens. Those; who knew the most of the patriotism of the city found the reality far greater than their hopes, and if Pennsylvania will do half as well as Philadelphia is sure to do to-mor row, her Union majority will be an exam ple and an inspiration to every State in the North. To morrow is a day fraught with "blessing or care to the future of the American people. God knowe the rigid is mi our side, and we firmly believe the Pro vidence that has guided the nation for eighty years will hot desert it now, or in tlie dangerous future. A Despatch from the President. Certain Copperhead papers published yesterday vague reports of defeat to Gen. Gkakt and the retreat of the whole army. This malicious, shameful falsehood, insult ing our soldiers and the common sense of the country, scarcely needed denial’. As it is, the President has given it emphatic contra diction in the following, plainly-worded telegram.' How low must the party have fallen which seeks to make political capital out of a lie which, had it been believed, would have turned the national thanks giving into mourning ! "Washington, Oet. 9—5.30 P. M. To Gen. Simon Cameron, Philadelphia : ; There is absolutely no news here from the Army of the Potomac''not published in Stanton’p hulletin of yesterday and before. The line is open, and mere busi ness despatches are passing over it. Have no alarm on bogus despatches. . It will be noticed that tlie official gazette of Mr. Stanton is one day later than the despatch of the seventh, which gives an ac-. count of the repulse of Kautz. It is evi dent that the enemy, by a desperate effort of their combined forces, repulsed a part of our line, but'gained no permanent ad vantage.' We betray no confidence when ■we say that the fall of Richmond is consid ered certain by Grant himself, and that nothing the enemy can do -will cause him to relax lus hold. They may obtain a par tial success at isolated points, hut cannot prevent the slow but irresistible advance of the whole army . . The President’s despatch is dated 5 P. M., yesterday, and its emphatic words will be read with renewed joy. ’; ~ llon. Leonard Myeks, candidate for Congress from the Third district, has no ordinary claim upon the confidence of his ' constituents, for his action in the last House was worthy of a Representative of Penn sylvania,. When the hill to-compensate State for the extraordinary expense she incurred in the repulse of the rebel invasion was on the point of defeat, it is well known that Mr. Mvebs, by his energy and prompt ness, secured its passage in the House. Always true to Pennsylvania, and faithful to the Union, he must go back to Congress With a triumphant majority. Many of the friends of the Union have been active in Western Pennsylvania, and if we lose any counties that should have been won it will not be from any lack of energy in those gentlemen. Governor Curtin, though ill, .has set a noble ex ample. Daniel S., Dickinson has given Pennsylvania invaluable aid. Such Demo crats as Daniel Dougherty, Wm. M. Heisteh, John Cessna’ Thomas Fitzge rald, and Judge Shannon, have worked faithfully in■-. the western counties,' and the enthusiasm of the people for the past two weeks has grown greater day by day. We predict a grand victory for the Union in the Keystone'State to-morrow. Our friends throughout the State, and especially in the- towns, are requested to send us hy telegraph, on Tuesday evening, the results of the election in their county or district. . The expenses will he paid by this office. We would suggest that, as far as possible, the despatch would give the re turns as compared with last year,"and. the estimated loss or gain. ' There is a rumor in. circulation to the .effect that Gen. McC-leli.an ha 3 entered the army as a private soldier. Perhaps the authority for this statement is Ms former declaration that, if he could not lead his men, he would share their fate on the field. . ' A correspondent desires to know if Gen. McClellan has had a photograph taken recently. This seemed to be his particular business when in command of the army;-and now that he Is at leisure, we might.have him in some new “posi tions.” •’ ■ .■A Copperhead correspondent suggests that it would be wellto reduce expenses* by removing unnecessary officers. Is this in tended for McClellan ? It is hardly ne cessary to liave .a gentleman in Orange, at a salary of a major general, to make speeches... The canvass for Mr. John M. Butler progresses well, and Hie--chances are in favor of Ms election. Let every Union man in Ms district do his best to-morrow. WASHINGTON. .Washington, Oct. 9.
