were our most respectable citizens Of every
profession, deputations from the bar, revolu-
tlonary veterans, and a large number OF the
adherents of Gen. Jackson, who cannot sup
port Van Buren,. And what we were most
pleased to see, there was vast NUMBER OF
the working and laboring classes, ,mechanics,
&c. who ct,ne 10 their plain dresses, but were
rrceived with the most marked courtesy by
the venerable Harrison, who had served with
such men in the battles which he had fought.
Its computed that there were at least 5000
persons introduced to the General. One
gentleman assured us that he had himself in
troduced over 1000. Such, in fine, was the
pressure of the crowd, that it was nee essaiy
to break of suddenly at = =. VI. by closing
The doors, that the General might return to
his apartments to prepare to fulfil other en-
gagements. At 5 Z. NJ. he went by invita-
ton to visit his fellow citizens of Brooklyn,
where he repaired to the Military Garden,and
was received in the most enthusiastic man
ner.
In the evening nc repaired by invitation to
the Park Theatre BOX No. 81 where he was
most warmly received by cheers from the au-
dience. The Theatre was decorated in front
with banners and transparencies. Repeated
cheers and the playing Of the national airs on
his entrance, during the course Of the per-
formance, which was the "Farmcr's Story"
ian appropriate name) and the attraction of
Mrs. Kecley, Indicated the strong feeling for
the peoples favorite.
Between eight and nine O'Clock, the Gene
raj went on foot to the National Theatre,
where the reception was truly brilliant. The
house was crowded to the ceiling, and very
large portion were ladies'. On the Generals
entering the box appropriated to him, with
his friend and companion in arms. Gen. Sol
Van Rensselaer,, and the different commit
tees, he was received with n burst of APP
plaus, from every quarter, which made the
house ring to the roof. We never saw col
lccted more respectable representation Of
our citizens, from the pit to the Shakespeare,
and the ladies' were remarked to be attircd
with peculiar taste and elegance.
On leaving the Theatre the audience a
gain cheered in the most enthusiastic man
ner, the ladies waving their handkerchiets,
and the pit standing up to bid him farewell.
Outside the door, when he entered his ba-
rouche, some three or four hundred who were
in the streets came up eagerly to shake hands.
After which the General, with head uncover
ed, standing up and bidding an aiIectionate
adicu, resumed his seat, and the carriage
drove rapidly off, amidst the bright revolving
light that illuminated the street,and the hear
ty,loud and long reiterated huzzas that cheer
cd him on his course.

GEN. HARRISON.

The recep ption Of the PEorLE's CAM
DIDATE in Delaware, in New Jersey,
and in the city Of Newly ork, all ol
which he was induced to visit at the ur-
gent solicitation Of their most respecta-
BILE citizens, was as warm, and as truly
auspicious to the best hopes of the coun-
try, as the welcome which awaited him
at Baltimore and Philadelphia. The
whole tour, indeed, of Gen. Harrison
since he left the Virginia Springs, has
been but succession Of civic triumphs
If we could build any confident auguries
on these strong and unbought manifesto
tons of popular good will, displayed to-
wards a most meritorious citizen, who
well represents, in his person and servi-
ces, the best traits Of the great WIG
CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY, we should say,
that the dark clouds of iDGatuaton and
folly, which have so long hung over a
deluded and misg governed community, :,
are rapidly dispensing. 1t would be un-
wise, however, to place our confidence
too implicitly in these favorable omens.
More, mu ch more, is required, than the
most gratifying exhibitions of popular at
tachment to even our best citizens, to
rescue the Republic from the reckless
faction which oppresses it. Earnest, de-
voted, and unremitted exertion in every
individual, (within the sphere of his in
fluence,) who realizes the value Of Con-
stitutional liberty, and the blessings Of a
well ordered Government, can alone ef-
fe ct this all important object
Gus readers will find in the preceding
columns tho most interesting details of
General Harrison's tour since he left
Philadelphia. He took leave of the city
Of New-York on Saturday morning at
7 A. M, with the intention of passing
his Sunday in Easton, (Pa.) and thence
to proceed in the most direct route to
Pittsburg and Ohio.

From the Rochl ster Daily Democr at, Extra

Balloon misunderstanding CASUALTY
AS advertised, Laurat made an ascension
from our city on Saturday afternoon. He was
cut loose about o'clock, and passed off to-
wards the east, with pleasant, though some
what fresh breeze. But the melancholy casu-
atty which took place marred the interest of
the scene. The novelty of the occasion, had,
as usual, collected an immense throng, who
gathered in groups upon the various dwellings
and workshops in the vicinity Of the arena
IL was fearful to see the rccklessness cvinced
by many Of those in these dangerous posi-
tions, and we heard only what we had been
expecting, when one Of these workshops, COW
cred by more than an hundred human beings,
fell in with tremendous crash, made horr-
bly, terrific by the fearful screams of those up
on it. We hastened to the scene Of rnin,a
beheld one of the most heart-sickening sights
that ever crossed our vision. Fifteen or twen-
ty men and boys lay helpless among the fal-
len timhers, covered with blood, and groaDing
most piteousy. OF this number, at least ten
had some Of their limbs broken, while others
were dreadfully mangled!
We have seen several of those who have
been injured. One of them had an axe han
die forced directly through his leg; another
had his back broken aud several, their legs
and arms.
We have not time for further particulars
The horror evinced by the vast multitude, and
particularly the parents, who knew their chill
dren were present, can be more easily imag-
ned than described. We never before wit
messed more painfully exciting scene, and
most devoutly hope we never may again.
1t is rumored that two or three injured have
died. We have not heard so from any COM
petent authority, and hope it is not true. One
of the sufferers, and the only one whom we
knew, was Mr.. Tindel, Of Mr.. Kempshal's
mill.

MARTIN VAN BUREN's SENSE OF JUsTrcr

! The following correspondence and affida-
Wit establish trait in the character of Mr..
Van Buren, which we have long known him
to possess, and which is the invarable accom-
panment of narrow and contracted mind
A man of all exalted sense of justice-of that
delicate and chivalric spirit, which cannot
bear that another shall suffer injury through
his inStrumcntalny, would at once have VOL
unfairly rendered full remuneration. How
different would have been the conduct Of the

endangered your life, and that when you ap-
piled to Mr.. Van Burcn, he refused to indem-

on the 22d Of February last. AS our paper is
ready for the press, we can only add, that the
spirit evinced on this occasion must, and will,
prove irresistible. The Office holders pha-
lanx will no more be able to Withstand it, than
were PRoCToR's veterans to resist the charge

saved.

D of his men. The advance was in three col
ums-the right under col. Warren, the left
under lieut. col. Mills, and the centre under
captain Tompkins. When within three
fourihs Of mile of the hammock, they met
the Indians, and battle commenced along the
right wing and centre.
| The Indians attempted to turn the LETT
flank, but were charged with spirit by that
wing and driven into thick oak scrub, thence
into the border Of the hammock, where the
artillery played upon them with considerable
effect.
Then they attempted to turn the right
flank, but were driven off by that wing, and
into range again of the artillery, which open
ed upon them with great effect. The In
dians made desperate attempts to maintain
their position. They charged twice on the
artillery. They were beaten off at all points,
and driven q mile and half into dense
hammock, where they could not be pursued
with advantage. The action lasted one hour g.
a half-one hour Of which time the fire was
heavy on the whole lire. Their force was
estimated at three hundred men.
Indians were seen to fall before the fire of
the artillery, particularly Oh the lett. Seve-
raj persons report that they saw mounted
lndlan from ms appearance giving orders
and a chief fall before the fire of the artille-
ry. Adjutant Gilland reports that he saw
a large fellow mounted in front of the right,
and from his recollection of his person thinks
he was Jumper. Adjutant G. ordered pla-

The CREEK WAR AT AN END. Gen. Jes-
sup, the commanding General of the army at
the South, has issued an ORDER dated at
Muskegee, Alabama, Sept. 3, 1886, an
nouncing the entire cessation Of hostiities,
and the movement westward Of the principal
part of the tCreek nation. More than $500
hostile Indians, (the order states) among them
upwards of 700 warriors, have been captured
in the course of the campaign, by the Ala
abma troops and the friendly Indians, all Of
whom have been removed to Arkansas, or
are in custody of the civil authorities for trial
and several hundred Indians, who were
forcing their way into Florida, have been at
tackled by the Georgia troops, and with few
exceptions, destroyed, captured, or driven
back to their swamps. The order farther
states, that the Tennessee Brigade under
Gen. Armstrong, is now on its march to
Florida to reduce the Seminole Indians, and
that most Of the Regular troops will proceed
to the same destination Immediately.
The Indian warriors engaged by General
Jessup confidently predict that there will be
no fighting. They say that the Seminoles
will surrender, as did their people when they
see arruyed against them those who know
how to fight them, and from whom, instead
of opposition, they have all along expected
and cooperation.
