much cheering, and many calls for 8 Thrasher'
that gentleman appeared on the gallery OF the hotel
over the main entrance, and was received with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of respect and adj
miration. He was presented to the assemblage by
DR.. Knapp, and returned his thanks for the compli-
ment yaid him in plain but feeling manner. He
said he had always entertained high respect for
the chivalrous people of Louisiana he had come so
far to thank then Tor the kindness which they had
ever shown to him, ard the present moment well
repaid all that he had suffered since he left Havana
Mr.. Perry 5. Warfeld then stated that Mr.
Thrasher woul be happy to meet his friends in the
"rotunda' and shake hands with them. The en-
tire assemblage adjourned thther music ahead, and
the whole crowd Immediately gathered around Mr.
Tbrasher to take him by the hand.
Gen. Lopez's body servant, who accompanied Mr..
Thrasher to Ceuta, was present and attracted much
| attention.
| On loud and repeated calls for him, Col Wheat
mounted a stand III the rotunda and addressed Mr..
| 1hrasher in glowing and deeply felt terms, which
were frequently interrupted by enthusiastic cheers
for g Thrasher," God bless him, &c Col Wheat
evidently felt every word he uttered, and could not
find words for all he felt Mr.. Thrasher, after re-
peated calls, responded gain, expressing his thanks
and apologizng for not making q speech, he was
much fatigued, and hoped, ON another occasion, to
be able TO express all he would say more fully.
The assemblage then dispersed. We have rarely
seen a more enthusiastic one, or a man more de-
serving such tributes 10 honest philanthropy aud
worth.

that are usually concoeed and put 10 circulation by the
