He was met atthe depot by a considerable number of soldiers and citizens, though very few were aware of his coming. Four or five officers of his staff accompanied im. The officers of the ratiroad and Georze Small, Eeq., one of the directors, afforded the | distingnished hero and his staff the most coar- eons facilities at the depotandelsewhere The General was plainly clad, and seemed anxious to avcid show or parade. There were many, however, on seeing him, went up to shake bande, and gave vent to their feelings by en- thusiastic shonts of weicome. The General said. beyond all things he was determiurd to avoid pohtical demonstrations; his busin«s3 8 with var, white it existed, and bis duty Was to crush the spirit of treason and save the niaiion trom destruction. When these things were accomplished. as he hoped and _ beli a they surely would be, then it would be time * enough for those whose tastes are toward par- uzenship 10 indulge themselves. The Gener il und his staff proceeded to Barnum’s Hotel, where they partook of refresyments. They Grpaited soon after in the eariiest train for Washington.
