GENEEAL Scorr AT PrrTsBuRG-It
was Announced yesterday that Gen.
Scott would not arrive al Pittsburgh
until midnight, and thus the arrange
ments previously made were disconcer-
ted. Before the arrival of the cars, an
immense mulitude--one of the largest
ever known in this city-were assembled
at the Depot.
At twelve o'clock the train arrived,
and General Scott was escorted to his
carriage amid the deaiening cheers of
the crowd.
The procession passed directly TO the
Monongahela House, where General
Scott appeared on the balcony and IN IA
hrIef, but exceedingly appropriate ad-
dress thanked the pco lie for his hearty
manifestation of their regard; express
ing his regret that there had been mis-
take about the time OF his arrival, and
stating that he had not been aware that
he was expected,
His voice is loud, clear and distinct. -
We do not believe IA single syllable was
lost by any one in the vast assemblage
in the street. This briei address con-
vInced us that General Scott has more
power as Il speaker than he. receives
credit for from those who admit that he
is Il great soldier, but would deny his
merit in everything else.--PHsburg

that General Scott is received where
