Oppo site the foot of Market street, where a large crowd had gathered, the passengers on board of the boat gave three hearty , cheers for Hancock, Jarvis and Shackelford, which were responded to by the crowd on the wharf. There was also a salute fired from the boat, which was responded to by a detachment of Che Cape Fear Liut Artillery, under command of Capt. R. W.

Death, or Mr. George River. In the death of Mr. George Myers, who breathed his last about half past 1 o'clock yesterday morning, the community loses one of its most energetic and zealous busi ness men, while a large circle of friends and acquaintances are bereaved of one who was esteemed by them as a genial, warm- hearted . citizen and trusted friend. Mr. Myers came here from New York about thirty years ago and embarked in mercan tile pursuits, which business he continued to follow up to the time of his death.

Gran Batlfleaitlon mtootlnsx CrowAa ' of Visitors Tiae Proeeaalon The ) speeches, c. 5 The Democratic ratification meeting which began in this city yeslerdsy was probably the largest and most enthusiastic gathering that Wilmington has ever w it- nessed. The different Ward Clubs of the city, well organized and strong in numbers, entered into the spirit of the occasion with a determination and whole-souled, hearti nest which ensured success, and in their efforts were abiy seconded by the various committees having in charge the arrange ments for the occasion. The attendance from outside the city was large, booming trains and boats all yes, terday bringing scores and hundreds to swell the throng, and besides these;, there Were many who came in from the country by private conveyance. The crowd on the streets and at the speaking last night might be safely estimated at 6,000 people. Early in the evening, the Cape Fear light Artillery brought two guns of their battery down to the river at the foot of Market street, prepared to fire a signal gun at 6.30 and a salute of one hundred guns an hour later, but when the Steamer John Dawson steamed down to her wharf with the Point Caswell delegation on board, her decks crowded and banners flying, while cheer after cheer rent the air, the guns were charged and a round or two of artillery gfeeted tbem. . iThe different ward clubs assembled promptly at the hour appointed, and look up the positions assigned them iu the vicinity of the City Hall, when at 7.45 o'clock, under the direction of Chief Mar shal Hedrick, amid salvos of artillery and ascending rockets, the pioceasion moved off int the order and over the route appointed. The procession was a full one and more than a quarter of a mile in length. Its pro gress through the streets was marked with displays of fireworks and blazing bon-fires at every corner; ladies thronged the side walks, and with their bright presence and aoDlause cheered on "the boys" and added beauty to the scene. The Young Men's Hancock and Jarvis Club was a marked feature ia the proces sion. Preceded by the Cornet Concert Club in a band wagon drawn by four horses, they led the van, and made the welkin ring wjth their cheers. As one of them re marked last night, "We can't vote, but we can holler." As the procession marched through the streets, passing the corner of Third and Ann, a crowd of negroes, assembled at the corner, threw a shower of stones and brick-bats, some of the missiles striking transparencies belonging to the Second Ward Club and several of the. members. Capt. John Cowan was struck on the head by a piece of brick, but not seriously hurt. One of the scamps was shortly afterwards arrested with a brick in his hand. With this exception nothing occurred to mar the harmony of the meeting. BAJTNEBS AND TBAKSFABENCOS. Among the multitudinous banners and transparencies in the procession, with their inscriptions, etc., which excelled both in number and character any before displayed on a similar occasion in this city for many years, we noticed the following, giving the various wards in their proper order: FIB ST WABD.

Ai the masthead floated a flag bearing the names of Hancock and English, the whole being drawn by four horses thoroughly caparisoned. The nape of the ship "Constitution" was inscribed injarge let ter on the stern. All along the line of. march Roman candles were sent up by the crew of the ship and added much to the general effect.

Pease and his General Order No. 40. A8 Gov.

He spoke briefly and explained that he could not speak until this. morn ing at 10 o'clock, and the crowd reluctantly excused him. jCapt.

Gen. Leach made a lengthy, exhaustive and. comprehensive speech, that, well pleased the Democracy of - New Hanover. His speech was rather lengthy but it won for the speaker muoh praise. When Gen. Leach next visits Wilmington we can promise him a large and attentive audience. When Gen. Leach concluded our Elector for the Third Congressional District, D. H. McLean, Esq , was introduced. Follow ing as he did two of our most distinguished Speakers, his speech was exceedingly good, and Won for him much favor. He spoke under the most disadvantageous circum stances, and yet pleased all his listeners. ? When Mr. McLean concluded, the calls for1 Senator Ransom were so unanimous and prolonged Ahat the gentleman was lite-, rally foiced to respond, byvbriefly thanking thecTowd for the compliment and telling Uietn; that' he' would speak' to-morrow nlgbtat' 8 o'clock.
