Nor were the usual alternatives of trees and jamp p ‘sts alto- geth:r forgotten. Though not so abundantly patronized 3 on some nocturnal occasions that we remember, still there was many a tat man and agile boy’ who struggled into good places by climbing into the leafy boughs of the surrounding trees.

At time tho recruiting ofticers’ drum (which had been busy all day) was silent, but his flags spoke eloquently to the ssembled ghousatids that there wae much work for Union yet to be done, ihe National Zouaves, Corcoran Zouaves, the Sickles Brigade, and The green the the Stanton Legion wero fuily represonied. flag of Corcoran was, however, the rallying poimt for re- its, and when the war-woro veterans of the old Sixty- ninth appeared ali other organizations were for the mo- meat forgotten in tbe wild burst of yoriuine enthusiasm which grected the hezoes of Bulbrun and Manassas. THE ARRIVAL OF THY SIXTY-NINTH. At half-past four o’clock precisely the head of tho es- cort of tho Sixty-ninth regiment appeared in view, coming up Park row. The enthusiasin of the masses now literally knew no bounds. Men infront of tho platforins, in the very best places thet could be found for sceing the evolutions of the regiment, began to evacuate positions thai they were doomed never to occupy again. Those more observant and more patient calmly waited until the vete- Yans should appear, and, as it is in all cases, patience was the final conqueror, The clarions of tho regithent and the music of ail tho bands on the fleld announces the ar- rival of the Sixty-ninth at the east entrance of the Park. the whole crowd then shouted with one grand, tremen- dous shout, which, if it had been ropeated seven times, might haye treated the City Hail to a shaking like that which we arc informed tumbled the walle of Jericho about the ears of some ancient people. pily for our citi- zens, if not for our Common Counciimen, the che: was only repoatea three times, and there was no visible shaking of any part of the rg? Hall during that period. ‘The Sixty-ninth was escorted by a troop of Lancers, also belonging to the regiment—an excoedingly fine looking, soldi-riy body of citizen sbldieps. These led the way through the broad avenue in the Park spoken of before, and in their immedinte rear came the leaiing officers of the Sixty-ninth, followed by Generali Corcoran, in the full uniform of a vrigadier, mounted on a nettle- sonio stevd, and looking as caim, ‘coo! and collected as any commander one could desire to sce. *Hhere comes Cor- coran,” ¢ried ceveral voices; and with the word there arcse @ stccession of the most exeiting snd yoci‘erous 's that could be beard. In the meantime, from the f the lull of Records, there came a continual boom- ing of aruilory. Here asix-pounder had been ‘put into position,” aada number o; artillerymen were engaged to give it specch. As Corcoran and his Irishmen entered the Park they were greeted with several sulvos from this Piece, and the smoke and nojse of the cannon mixed rather inharmoniousty with the shouts of the thou- sands below.

The crowd which had been so exce y by the police in the earlier part of the eve povieetly frantic when the Sixty ninth, and General Corcoran, appeared. All dikes, dams Darviers became of no uso in very fow Even the sturdy ‘corpus Prlitans offered but slender barriers to Fotuors rush of the oi poll Cries of 4 and the Sixty-ninth’’ reat the air; and these cries, taken up, repeated and rolled out with increased power all along the hees, came back with an ceho as startling as it was grand. Within fifteen iiautes all order was destroyed — that is, so far as the free commingling of soldier and civillan was co..cerned. Long separated friends rushed towards each other aud shook hands with an earnestness that threatened the sockets of the arms; women dis- covered old friends and sweethearts among the dusky and dusty soldiers from the wars, for a fow moments there was a true realization of the happiness and pleasure to be derived from the sudden reunion of hearts and spirits long divided. ‘Yo secnes like this neither the the reporter nor the rough etenings of industrious artists can give effect. History, in its great review will see to it, and posterity will yet read with wonder and delight the records of tho ardent patriotism of their fathers, as evinced under £0 many wach different and such pleading phases. The regiment having been halted in front of the City Hall, and after the cheering had subsided, loud cries arose for Generai Corcoran to address the meeting, The Geno. ral bowed assent aud alighted, amid thundering applause, and in a few minutes was conveyed upon the main platform. The enthisiasm of the people was now immense. Such crowding, pushing, squeezing and smashing was only equalled on the seattering among ibe crowd of Wallace's patriotic ode.

After the doparture of the Sixty niuth the mecting con. tinued as vigorously as ever. “The crowd. instead of fatiing off, increased considerably, and fresh accessions of epeakers kept up @ continual fire of the musketry of elo- qnence.

MAYOR OPDYKE’S SPELOM. His Honor then addressed the meeting in the following language :-— Fetow Crmaxxs—I shall not inflict on you a lengthy speech, The call for this meeting traly declares that the king has passed, and that action—inetant, , united action—is the duty o: the hour. We have @ country to be saved, Let us vesolve that it shall be saved by the concentration of all our cre gies in the performance of this one great duty Let us look the situation squarely in the face. Kor what are we fighting? It is for nothing less than na tional existence and the cause of civil liberty every- where. An aristocracy, grounded on human servitude, has rebelled aguiust a deimvcratic goverument, of which ig members form numerically an insiyuificant part only grievance is that the people, instead of bowing to its insoleut dictation, have exercised the rights of freemen. Our would-be masters could not eadare such temerity from men whom they have contemptuously called ‘inud- » Rather than submit to equulity with such, they ‘arned traitors. They took up arms to destroy the gov- ernment and sever the Union, of whicl}numericully they formed less than a fiftieth part. But by est: blish- ing’ @ relentless despotism and sweeping conscription, the deluded and less non glaveholders of their sec- tion have been swept, as by a whirlwind, ito the ranks of their army. Aided by these appliances, they now confyont us on the theatre of war with superior numbers. This must be changed—instantly changec—if we would save our honor and insure our triumph. How shall this bo done? By following their example of con- scription? Let the patriotism and manhood of freemen answer the question. In a life and death struggle be- ‘tween civil liberty and the prorogative of caste, it is natural that the armies of the latter should be fille: by the iron scourge of despotic power; but the defi ndsrs of liberty should bo impelled by their own free wills and “manly hearts. The cause we tight for is as righteous and as essential te human pro- gress and happiness as any that ever unsheathed the warrior’s sword. We fight for the rights of the people, and in defence of liberty, order and law. ‘Ihe best interests of humanity arc involved in the issue, and our failure would cast a dark shadow over the future of the race. But there must be no such word as fail. To avoid it, however, there must. be no hesitancy in the Tush to arms. Every man who cau fight should promptly and cheerfully tendér his services to the government: and covery man of means should contribute liberally to those who volunteer, and for the eupport of their familics, We shonid all imbibe something of the neble senti- ‘He de “not ment ( the galiant Corcoran has. uttered. clares that uo inducoments, however strong, even the fee simple of Broadwa: from tho battle field. Su merely a brigade but a division, will be forthcoming. If a spirit like his animated us ail, we might celebrate our flual triumphoyer the rebel ion atour next annual Thanksgiving. Let us try to ein this spirit, and by united, vigorcus efivrt, seve the hon of our city by avoiding the necessity of a draft. Wo are behind other portions of the State, aud behind ma our sister cities, This must be changed. Let us, the promptings ef a common patriotism, waite La a nest effort to send to the fiekl a force that will overwhelin this malignant rebellion, and let us do it yoluntarfy, as freemen should who are worthy to be free. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL CORCORAN AND THE SIXTY- NINTH, When the last words were spoken the audierce gave another hearty cheer, and “Yankee Doodle" was speodily struck up by the band upen the plaworm. The strain was short and sweet. “The resolutions for the meting wiil now be read by afr. Wetmore,” said the Mayor, and Mr. Wetmore got ready to read the resolutions; but the sound of martial music, which had been faintly heard in tue distance afew moments before, was now drawing near, The audience appeared to be electrified, and away for the instant went thoughts of resolutious. 1b was General Corcoran and the gallant Sixty-ninth that were ‘oming wear, ‘1 hope the audience, «8 the passes, will give three rousing cheers,” alin Mayor, but there cortainly was uo neccksity Lor to invite the cheers. They came, deep and loud, cheer after cheer, It was just half-past four when the mounted artiil officers, splendidly unicrmed and equipped, came fon. the cast gate of the Park and passed in froutof the Mail and stand.

Corcoran was soon recognized on his famous charger, and his appearance was the signal for: tremendous cheers “Three cheers for General Corcuran,” demanded ao ap- preciative fellow countryman, and the air rang with the thondering hurr: Foliowing files of policemen were number of Irish officers, prominent among whom was re- cognized Colonel Nugent, of the Sixty-niutu New York Volunteers, in General Meugher’s brigade.
