- S6G tFot last evening, and very warm recep-
ton was extended to him upon his arrival by the
citizens of this portion of Kentucky. Considerable
cite ment, indeed, has marked his line Of march
through the interior Of the two former States, and
every little village has turned out its scores, and
every city it's hundreds, to meet him. 1t would,
however, be very hazardous calculation to reckon
upon the gain Of q single vote, in addition to those
which would certainly have been cast for him. in

partially advised by telegraph Of the movements of
the General since he left Cleveland for Kentucky.
He went by railroad to Columbus, meeting small

and compelled to address a meeting on
the evening OF his arrival, in the hall of the
Neil House. This, you may imagine, was
very trying to the old General, who is no ora.

task Of no common magnitude. However what he
lacks as a speaker he makes up as politician, for
he kisses women, and even dirty nosed children,
with true congressional zeal, and with alfecta-
ton Of complacency really astonishing to ouch as
Of his natural aristocratic notions, and his
horror of anything pebeian Indeed, the affair is
altogether well managed. General Lawson travass

From Columbus, Scott proceeded by stsge to Chilli

greet him, and from thence, after nights rest, to
Portsmouth, the Ohio. At this place, which is in a
