The committee appointed to wait upon General

city and county, performed that duty at an early
htur In The morning. The Generals reply was
briei and TO the point. He eald he regretted that
circumstances prevented hlmfrom complying with
The request Of our ciiizens-that nothing could
give HIM ieater pl. asure than to meet his Adams
county iIit nds In social intercourse-but that ms
engagements at various points on his route to
Washington, precludtd the enjoyment OF that
pleasure, &c.
The boat remained at the landing an hour or

give our citizens opportunity to call upon the old
hero, end 10 take him by the hand. Numbers
avaIls themselves OF the opportunity to give the
old soldier and honest patrlota cordial
shake OF The hand. All seemed 10 wish that his
evil career might be successful and glorious as
had been his military one.

thueiasic and whole soued reception awaits him;

as elastic as that of early manhood. We are glad
