The Butchers were as numerous and respectable a body of men as could be picked from the city or any where else, and they were numeous enough now to slay a million of hecatombs of cattle, or to provide flesh for ten legions of the most carniverous of the human family. The Temperance men, boys and women, for women were present, and many of them there were, presented a grand appearance, and added many a rood to the miles which made up the length of the whole procession. But we can hardly particularize any one class where all appeared so well."

With every effort to obtain an accurate account of the different corps associations, ;

and crafts, in the procession, of their numbers, banners, and devices, we have been unable to procure all. We present however, the general result as follows, first taking occasion to express our special acknowledgments to Mr. C. V. Anderson, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, for the detailed statement furnished by him of the magnificent display made on the occasion, by the Firemen, both of other cities and our own. The procession was thus constituted :

Escort of Cavalry from General Storms' Brigade. The Grand Marshal, General Gilbert Hopkins, accompanied by his Aids, General Prosper W. Wetmore, Colonel Henry P. Robertson, General Nathan B. Graham, Colonel William W. Tompkins, Colonel Florence Mahoney, Colonel John D. Van Buren.

Military Guard of Honor to the Grand Marshal, comprising :

The Independence Guards, The Sing Sing Guards, and The Washington Rifle Company.
