was received by Adjutant General Stevens. who
addressed some very appropriate remarks to
him. General Quitman having then been intro
duced to the several State officers, returned
thanks for the enthusiastic reception which had
been given him. The several military COM
panies then passed in review before the distin-
guished guest, after which, an effort, was made
to get him outside the capitol but the anxiety
of the immense crowd which choked up The
vestlbule of the capitol to see the brave general
was so great, that It was found impossible TO
clear passage for his egress. He accordingly
took position upon the steps leading to the
Senate chamber, from which he. made short
address every sentence he uttered was drowned
in the huzzas Of the citizens. The reception of
this gallant officer, was, on the whole,very credl
