Rejoicings at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Friday, April 14.
Business was entirely suspended to-day. The city was universally decorated with flags, and great enthusiasm prevailed. The procession was an immense affair, comprising the entire police force, Gens. Hooker and Wallice, with their staffs, four regiments of National Guards, discharged veterans, ward organisations, the Fenian Brotherhood, the Fire Department, and a large number of colored citizens. All the bells in the city were rung, and salutes were fired at 6 o'clock this evening. To-night the city is brilliantly illuminated, and there is generally a display of fireworks.
