We hada Croton water procession in the good old days pumps, when Aldermen of the Knickerbocker strips and the present generation of officials was amknown. We had a locofoco precession, {mmense whig processions, Native American processions, and cold water Wemperance processions. We had an Atlantic cable pro- Qession, when societies and military bodies came from the British colonies to swell the ranks; and our City Hal farrowly escaped total destruction by fire, resulting from the brilliant pyrotechnic display that wound up the eole- bration in the evening. We hada Prince of Wales pro- when New York, with few exceptions, turned to toady t the oldest son of the reiguing sovereign of Britain.

Precisely’ at one o’clock—the hour set down im the programme—Colonel Howe @ave the signal agreed upon for the starting ef the procession. A salute was fired in Union square, ‘and the instant the noise of the first explosion was over the head of the column eommenced the march in splen- did order. It stands in this respect as a remarkable ex- ception to the past usage, and at the same time as an example to be imitated in the future. Sir Boyle Roach moved at one time in the British Parliament that a quart bottle hold @ quart—a witty sarcasm on the capacity of Mquid measures, Colonel Howe, following the example of the illustrious Roach, moved a few days ago that one o'clock mean one é'clock, and carried out the idea very successfully yesterday, for which he is entitled to lasting gratitude and the freedom of the city. All honor to Howe, the graceful and punctual, Talk about past crowds—of your little hundreds and your little thousands! Yesterday they were counted by the million, Never was such a mass of people seen in the streets of New York before. Broadway was so thick with moving humanity that you could only now and then catch a glimpse of the sidewalks, and had it not been for the police and the procession it would have been a hard matter even to see the carriage ways. The democratic Bowery was equally jammed. . The cross streets kept constantly pouring in fresh loads of men, women and children into the great thoroughfares. The stoops were overflowing. The windows were crammed, The houss- tops were roofed with sight-seers, What more can be said of the throng? They were joyful, enthusiastic, or- derly, good humored and patient—a part ef them. An- other part of them were screaming and crying and Toaring. These were principally women and children, who found the throng too much, They were crushed and bruised by those behind and those before. The hoops became snapped, twisted, entangled and mis- placed. The children endured almost suffocation and strangulation. Many of them were resoued in a gasping condition by philanthropic citizeng and energetic police- men. Looking down upon the vast concourse from any ele- vated position in Broadway, the apectacle was striking. You saw men, women and children struggling up our- rent and down current, but alwaye against current. You saw them twisted around and upset, You saw them shoving out against the police barrier guarding the curbs. You saw the Metropolitans’ baton and muscle vigor- ously beating back the invaders of the space consecrated to the processionists, and you saw many an unlucky man Tub his head, very much dissatisfied with the result of the contest with police authority. You saw a picturesque variety of dress, all the colors of the rainbow decorating the neat garments of the ladies. Red, white and blue predominatedy particularly in the bonnets. Occasionally there was black—in the complexion of the spectators, Looking at the houses, you beheld one grand, continuous exhibition of flags from windows, poles, awnings, and every point whereon to hang this badge of loyalty and nationality. So it was in every other part of the city. Tho Hxnatp office had its old battle flag flying from the roof of the establishment. All the hotels and public buildings wore covered with the Stars and Stripes, and many houses displayed mottoes and inscriptions of an appropriate character. The building corner of Tenth strect and Fourth ave- nue—an emporium of statues—presented the buets of Washington, Jackson and Adams, in marble, on its front, surrounded with the Star Spangled Banner. The City Inspector's office was very tastefully decorated with flags also—on the third and fourth floors, the only part of the building occupied as his office, It required no great fresh exciting cause to make the Populace jubilant. They would have been happy with the recollection of Savannah, Charleston and Wilmington, to say nothing of the magnificent spectacle. But it hap- pened that there was a new cause for rejoicing and en- thusiasm, and that was the well-timed roverses to Early and Haygood. They came just in the nick of time” and produced the natural effect. All talked about them, shook hands about them, and sesured each other that the end of the rebellion was now certainly and positively near. May it come soon, Among the amusing incidonts of the day was the presence of the patriotic and immortal Brown, of Grace church, who stood on Fifth avenue as the prooesston passed, with an enormous glass goblet of ale in his hand— holding, we should think, aout four pints—which he lifted occasionally as any important feature in the pro- cession came along, and drank to the health of the par- ticipants, amid much cheerigg and laughter, and now and then a call from the occupants of some of the wagons in line of, “Go it, old heavy weight,” “Give usa sup, Mr. Brown,” and so forth, The enthusiasm and the goblet of Mr. Brown were the oocasion of a good deal of merri- ment and fun at that portion of the line of march. Another incident is worthy of mention. Ex-Governor King was one of the spectators of the procession. When the hoop skirt exhibition appeared, the Governor was much tickled with the idea of the horses wearing hoops. “Hallo there, look,” exclaimed the Governor, laughing heartily ; ‘there goes horses with hoops on. They ought to be mares." The joke took; the Governor roared, and had ‘& good chorus. Respecting the procession as a whole, it was a magnifi- cent success, and passed off splendidly. In length it must have been, without any exaggeration, eight good miles. It was so large, in fact, that the route had to be extended from Twenty-third street up to Thirty-fourth Wheu the tails of the last elephant and camel atthe corner of Broadway and Four- teenth street, going downwards, the head of the proces- sion was seen coming into Union square again, after hav- ing passed over the whole route. The day was delightful, The sun thone out brilliantly, ‘The air wag bracing, and the stroots were in a tolerably fair condition. THE SCENES AROUND UNION SQUARE. The scenes around Union square were of the most ex- ¢iting and interesting that have ever been beheld, even in this kaleidoscopic metropolis; and as an humble chronicler of passing events we have to confess our in- ability, at the very outset, to do even comparative justice to such a theme, In fact, to describe the scene minutely and correctly in all its particular changes would be the work of days, and a large volume would be insuff- cient to contain all that might proporly be said. As is known to these who participated in the festivities, the day was bright and clear, The whole population of the city seemed to have arisen with the fires dawn of morn- ing; and as Union square had been designated the great central point at which the vast procession was to be organized and whence it should start, thither the stream of population took itaway. At eleven o'clock there was such a throng around the hotels in the neighborhood of the square that it was with great difficulty that the wagons and caravans that momently arrived could fall into the line assigned them inthe programme, By twelve o'clock the crowd became so great that it was nearly im- possible to force one’s way through it, Still the people came surging and crushing in fron: ery side, until the immense space enclosed by the magnificent buildings around the square was completely blocked up and ren dered impassable, All the efforts of the police had to be used. for tife preservation of order, and with great difficnity the companies of artisans and workmen were eventually got into their proper places. From the upper stories of the large hotels a splendid view of the preparations was bad. Such animation and unanimous enjoyment as evidently prevailed everywhere formed the subject of frequent comment. Flags and banners floated from every house top and window. The spires of the churches, far and near, were ina similar way devoraied with fluttering pennons, while the bells in somo cases rune out their sonorous notes. Immediately in front of the Park facing towards the Academy of Music @ great platform was erected, and adorned in the mont perfect style, The headquarters of the Union Loyal Leaguers Were also garnished and set out in the highest atyle of the decorative art. The American flag was hoisted on the centre flagstaff, and all around were smaller banners, cach a beauty in iteclf, A remarkable featdre ‘was the inscription of Union victories on blue shields, in white letters, which could be distinctly read at a con- Mderable distance. Among the battics thus commemo- rated by the names of captured cities we may mention “Columbie,” “Savannah,” “Nashville,” “ Atlanta,” “Milledgeville,” “New Orleans’? and ‘Port Royal.” These unique and patriotic decorations were read by almoat every one who passed that way, ‘The Everett NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1865. vielnity, were aleo finely decorated. Looking from the main platform towards Dr. Cheever’s church, the whole roof, or rather the tower factng on the great square, was thronged with people, especially ladies, as thickly as the gathering of bees ons hive at honey time. The tower, ike the church on which it is built, is presumed to be very strong, and for this reason there was no ‘falling off’ of the fair and brave; but, viewing the lofty emi- Strisians, Hike #6. many wipe and Tusclows grapes we © 90 many and luscious we were occasionally led to ina a fear that’ Ike’ the famed tower of , it would suddenly come down to the earth with its valuable burden, and then, it is very likely, somebody would have been hurt.

We must, henge way regarding the (out ensenble, or merely glancing at the whole thing together, it must be acknowledged that no finer display has ever taken place in this city, consider- ing the I'mited time for preparation of which those con- cerned could avail themselves and the serious difficulties which, beyond all doubt, must at step have beset the managers of so mammoth an u1 jug. We have before witnessed great public celebrations in New Yorke and other cities, and among these there have been some that we have considered very strange indeed, But that ———, espectally as it was to be seen around Union square, certainly excelled and put into nothing. ners anything that we have ever read, heard or n of a public demonstration. Still nothing could possibly have been more orderly and harmonfous throughout, In speaking of harmony, we do not simply allude to the beautiful and exhilirating music reed splendid bands of the different regiments of the national uards, This was equal toany of the efforteof their rmer career, and itisdue to them tosay that with every tnew celebration they play sweeter and more melodiously. 80 much fora deserved complitnent to the musicians, and any praise duly awarded them is naturally also given to the organizations with which they are connected. But if there was harmony in the music of the day, there were order and punctuality in the general arrangements. Everything went, as is val- gularly said, by clockwork; and, indeed, the clocks of the city had enough to do to keep time with the mass of military and other men, to say nothing of horses, ele- phants, giraffes, lions, bulls and bears—all of whom, it is to be understood, were marching to the music Union, and all had to pass through Union square. To any person who was in that oe, yesterday, at about two o’clock post moridian, we n Rot now gay that he must have felt that it would have been better to have been anywhere but there. True enough, every- thing surrounding the place—the place itself—the gay throng of beautiful women, dressed in the most clegunt and costly costumes of the day—the silken flags and pennons which waved joyously in the breeze—the rush ‘and crush of mortal creatures pressing into the abyss to the danger of suffocation and even of being trampled under foot, and some few were rather severely used in this respect—the clarian blast of trumpets—the clashing of cymbals, and the deafening roar of a hundred drums and cannons—all this, and the shouts of the delighted multitude, gave the scene a degree grandeur and vivacity which mere crowds can never convey to those who did not witness the warmth and in- spiration of the hour. But, it may be asked, who, except oxe who were safely poised in mid air, ag it were, on the summits of towers and the tapering sides of steeples, or, as the urchins were, on the tops and branches of trees, could truly be said to enjoy all the manifold beauties of art and nature that were 90 prodigally dis- played around? For a man er woman to be shov vf pushed, and crushed, and jammed ether in @ vast crowd like that of yesterday is at no vory agree. able thing; but when one roams out to enjoy himself with his friends, especially the fenfale ones, on a national occasion, expecting to have all the room to him- self, with stoops and front windows ad lhitum, he is to experience the pangs of di! imiment gets home after the show is scarcely over, ith pains in his back, his head and every other. part of ie , Sufficient to cause him to-vow he celebrations in pad, on, move cor.

Man: assom- bl: have been held there before, and t! of the nation &j ing through its heroes—many of them now dead—hive more than once re-echoed around the mona- ment of George Washington. But this was greater than all its predecessors. And it was not only the gathering of its kind, but the strangest and most geneous that has ever been beheld in any city in the United States, Certainly such a sight could not be seen out of America—at least that is our opinion— simply for the reason that in no other have they the elements to produce such varied effects. A good deal , and doubtless will, be said about the movement, on the ground that it was a ageat advertising “dodge.” ' Let us allow this, and what What could #0 completely evidence the vim and vigor of this people as the unparalleled exhibition which every branch of trade, commerce and industry yesterday showed to the world? Such a display of military and naval power, architectural, mechanical and engineering skill—the arta of peace and the arts of war mingled together in o1 concord—could not fail to attract the attention of any foreigner pass- ing through the city, Leaving ovt of the ques tion the soldiers and civilians who actually took part in the procession, there were over half a million of people assembled in the streets viewing the demonstra- tion. Of the military part of the affair we must say that it was perfect in every way. The clean and splendid condition of the troops, the fine martial bearing of the officers, and the style {n which both officers and men were equipped, drew forth encomiums frem every one who was present. The marines must here be particu- larly mentioned. Among the general officers, loudly cheered as he moved along in an carriage ‘throug! the square, was General m, the gallant defender of Fort Sumter at the beginning of the rebel- lion—a man well known and honored by le and reciated by the government he bas so well foith- military—both cavalry and infantry—formed the first division of the march. As they emerged from the immense crowds about the park they were xreeted with loud cheers, and on en- tering Broadway the cheers were taken up and ree “doubled by interminable mags that occupied that re so far as the cye could see, packed as as sardines could be in a tin box, Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and ex-Governor King, of New York, with a larze nuinber of distinguished gentlemen, reviewed the line from the balconies of the Maison Dorée. Regiment after regiment, each with its fine band and drum corps, followed in succession, until they were completely Jost 'from view in the ocean of heads and faces on aW hands turned up to regard them. One of the most curious features of the day, and one that evoked all kinds of opinions, wasa fine carriage drawn by DD eames pair of horses, in which was seated Major John Thomas Lane, formerly of the Britich army, and at present chief and medicine man of the Mace, @ tribe of Indians of much repute in their own land. The Major was acco: & fine boy of some seventeen years, also clad costume. The carriage was an oxe who looked vory dignified in his dress, had a splen- ttoman thrown over hie knees, It may be impor. tant to persons fearing the smallpox, to know that Major Lane has a remedy which can extirpate it at once. Tt ix needless to say that he attracted very great atten. tion. : ‘The other parts of tho procession fell tnto line inthe regular order assign: « them, making # most brilliant dis- play, and the seene of exchement and enthusiasm which prevailed was, as we have already said, 80 great that it ities all thorough description. THE SCENE AT MADISON SQUARE. The scene at Madiron square at four o'clock— by which time the head of the column had reached a poiut opposite the Fifth Avenue Hotel— almost beggars description, Every available window, Corner and lamp poet, was filled with an eager, gaping, but good-humored crowd. The light jest and witty ro- partee spread from lip to lip, and geueral hilarity seemed to prevail, The usual amount of crying babes in arms were on hand, and succeeded in making themsolves and parents uncomfortable to the highest degree. As soon as the mounted police showed themselves, there wana loud shout, which was caught up by the crowd, and for a few mo- mente rolling, but deafening, husgas could be heard. The gamins of New York were on hand, sunning themselves on treetops as if they were monarchs of all they sur- veyed. The lamp poste—their usual post—were monopo- Ized on this occasion by older members of the human family who, taking exansple by the boys, elevated them. selves above the crowd and enjayed a fair though some. what uncomfortable proepect. The windows of the Fifth Ave nue Hotel were ero' with ladies in evening dress, who had arrayed themselves in their best to do honor to toe, iitter if the bay hh e «tl of the contrasti: the rontling. of undreda of banvere, the dis of three: vil, the red-shirted firemen, the fire epparatus, reflected by « setting sen with a thousand tic. hues, lent a charm to the scene, and invested it with an interest and color-painting Lao a to be portrayed by the aid of living artist, and which must have been seen to realize even a faint conception of ite beautiful effect, Jet us no Sone Ww proceed to a detailed account of ite THE PROCESSION. ‘The grand procession started from Union square Promptly and precisely at one o’clock—thanke to the Committee of Arrangements, the Grand Marabal and all others concerned. ‘The line of march was from the corner of Fourteenth streetand Broadway, down Broadway to the Astor House, up Park row and Centre street to Canal, up Canal to Bowery, up Bowery and Fourth avenue to Twonty-third street, down Twenty-third street to Madison avenue, up Madison avenue to Thirty-fourth street, through Thirty- fourth street to Fisth avenue, down Fifth avenue, and thence to Union square by Fourtcenth street, FIRST DIVISION. ‘The display of the military in the monster procession yesterday was beyond a doubt the finest we have had in New York for a number of years.

Probably one of the most interesting features of yes- terday’s prosession was the display made by some of oar shipbuilders, It was both unique and truthful repre- sentation of sea craft propelled overland, and elicited the applause and admiration of all who witnessed the sin- ular sight on the line of procession. There were two of those representations, neither pains nor expense being spared in order to profusely decorate thom.

When contrasting these miniature specimens of marine architecture with the military and civic part of the cession, the effect was very handsome. At a dista hooking up Broadway, one would imagine that th miniature vessels were really seated on the watcr, #0 @raceful did they appear. There were two of these crafts in the procebsion—ono a miniature fall-rigged ship, and the other a specimen of @ Monitor. The former was supplied by Mr. Jeremiah Simonson, ship builder, and the latter by Mr. Thomas E. Rowland. Both these seprenniene were placed upon trueks, each drawn by four horses. Twelve boys, from the schoolehip Savannah, in cl of Acting Master 0. Danvins Owens, United States Navy, manned the ship (which was named the Hartford), and seamen from the klyn Navy Yard, under command of Acting Ensign Courtney, had charge of the Menitor.

The musical societies, composing the Singerbund, met at the Metropolitan Rooms, in Hester strect; the Turners at the Turn Hall, in Orchard street, and the Social Reform trade organizations and musical and dra- matic societies organized at the Social Reform Hall, in Grand street.

Cornell and eight aias, on the @ixth avenue. Nearly all departments of American in- dustry, from “ile” down to hoop skirts and hair dress- ing, were represented tufthis division, Every essential for furnishing a house or victualing an army might be found in the procession. Polar refrigerators and steam boilers, steel pens and pianofortes, Java coffee and Catawba wine, millstones and mechanical houses, irom safes aud gingham umbrellas, sewing machines and sixty horse power steam engines, followed each other in per- plexing confusion. From many of the vans bandbills and small gifts were showered upon the crowd below.

The work of marshalling these acattered forces was at- tended with no small difficulty. In spite of all Mr. Cor- nell and his assistante could do some degree of confusion arose, and Cet societies and express companies at times got hopel ly mixed together.

They sent Pour six-horse teama, four four-horse teams, twelve two- horao teams, and fifteen single horse wagons. | Disabled soldiers were conveyed in the wagons, which were deco- rated with flags. The horses were matched bays and rays, with rosettes and plumes of red, white and blue, rnden’s Express had three four-horse teams, two dri- vers with each team, The foremost two carried sick rol- diors, and both horses and wagons were handsomely dec- orated with flags and feathers.

Any display of our national industry would”have been incomplete without this new royal road to wealth. The chosen apostles of the “ils” interest claimed for it the throne vacated by King Cotton, and in support of that assumption exhibited the way in'which the most prolific oil wells are worked. Upon atruck drawn by twenty powerful horses, with scarlet shirted outriders, a large derrick and portable engine hud been erected and were set to work pumping oil into a miniature five hundred barrel tank. ‘The man who had struck oil” was sup- to be in charge of these operations, but “which was which” was not very easily to be distinguished.
