been provided by the II. r. Company,
which was wholly unapprised of his in
tended arrival, he took seat in one Of the
regular passenger cars. A dense crowd
of citizens, eager TO catch glimpse Of the
General completely beseiged the windows
and doors Of the car, excluding the fresh
air, SO that it was found necessary to re-
move him forward TO the way car, at the
door of which persons were stationed 70
prevent the ingress Of the people, who, in
their enthusiasm, threatenedto overwhelm
him. Their irrepressible feelings found
relief, however, in constant cheering and
salutations. In order to have the benefit
of fresh air the train was moved out Of the
depot, while the agents were preparing
for its departure, and here the President
was sa'uted by crowd of the workmen
attached to the Con1pany's works, pressing
around to get his hand. But the physicians
interposed, everything his earnest desire
to respond to the call, and the Iron Horse
soon hurried the party out of sight, on the
route 10 Newark.
On reaching the depot at the foot Of
Market street, there was another outburst
of popular enthusiasm, from an immense
assemblage of citizens informally brought
together by the rather indefinite expecta-
ton that the Man of the Peple might pos
sibly be in the train. The depot and ihc
area about it presented dense mass Of
people, pressing earnestly towards The
cars-which were again placed under
guard and the General bowed continually
in recognition of the salutations of those
who were fortunate enough TO approach
the open window at which he sat-inclu-
ding some of the oldest and worthiest CT
liens. .s...
There was no detention beyond the usu-
al time for the discharge and reception Of
passengers, and the train passed out OF the
depot amidst the heartiest rounds of ap-
plause from the constantly increasing mul-
tiude. The whole population would
doubtless have been there If the train
could have been detained half an hour
As it was, few amongst us had any sorL
of expectation that the President was like
ly to pass through this morning-it being
supposed that he would be detained a day
at least in New York. Several citizens
jumped into the cars in the hope Of an IN
PRODUCTION on the way TO EliZabethtOwn,
and succeeded in obtaining brief inter
view. The General evinced deep sense
of the kind attentions of the people and eN~
pressed his regret that he could not graft
fy his desire 10 remain in the State Tor aL
least some hours, OH account Of his feeble
health, and the urgent calls Of business VT
Washington. He was remarkably aila1le
and constantly conver<ed with those about
! him though not inattentive to the frequent
sautations by people on the line OF the
road, waving his handkerchief from The
| window in token of recognition. SpeciAl
! reference was made 10 tie character W.
| Newark manufactures. and the revolution
ary fame Of Elizabethtown, and 10 tie fac.
that it was the residence of Gen. Scott.
The Elizabetlltown depot was found
thronged with people, who, whenthe iiags
/ fying from the train confirmed their eX
pectations, made the welkin ring with
shouts of welcome. Recognizing the face
of his old fellow soldier Capt. Pegram ia
the crowd, the General insisted upon re
ceiving him, and after hearty exchange
of congratulations between them, he res
olntely broke through the usual restraints
and pushed his way out to the platform,
leaning upon the arm Of Capt. =. who i'll
troduced him to his leilow-ctizcns.
In reply TO their cordial expressions o5
regard, the General expressed, in few
we'll chosen words, his regret that BE
could not stop and mingle with them toE
a few hours at least; but this rrlvilego
was denied to him by the urgent calls O.
the public business and the imperatiye
counsels of his physcians-who admon-
ish him that he had not recovered SUIT
ciently from the effects Of a recent illness
TO endure further fatigue. lie felt assn
red, however, of the restoration Of lis
usual strength in few weeks OF quiet mt
home, and hoped TO have the pleasure Of
taking them 10y the hand at some tutura
time. Wishing them all possible heath
and happiness, be returned TO his seat in
the train, which moved on in the midst Of
the heartiest demonstrations Of public grat
itude and regard for a public beneiactor.
