cheering results and his departure yesterday

who clustered upon his path, and gathered around
the cars in which he left Allegheny city.
The dignifed and commanding presence of the

wherever he has shown himself
GEN. SCoTr's PROGRESS WEsTwARD.--We are
informed by one of our citizens who accompanied
Gen. Scott as far as Salem Ohio, that the excite
ment along the line of the railroad was most in
tense. At every station-house there was such
crowd that it seemed as if the whole population
had left their homes to greet the veteran whose
name they have SO long delighted to honor At
several points the citizens had appointed one of
their number to convey to Gen. Scott their ex-
pressions of welcome. At Salem the crowd was
immense, and there seemed to be no limit to the
enthusiasm of the people.
RECEPTION AT CLEvELANp.-A despatch from
Cleveland, Ohio, dated September 81, says:
General Seott's reception at this city yester-
day was the most grand, imposing and enthusi-
astic demonstration ever beheld. The banks of
the lake for miles was lined with people-not-
withstanding drenching fall of rain-waitng
the arrival of the old hero and when the salutes
from the 'Ohio City and from Cleveland an
nounced his approach, cheer after cheer resound-
ed from every quarter, and were kept up until
he was escorted to his quarters at the American
Hotel by the military and the immense mass of
citizens.
After he had retired for few minutes he
appeared on the balcony in answer to prolonged
cheers of the populace, and made a brief address,
expressing the pleasure he experienced in visit
ing once more after q lapse of eight years, the
beautiful city of Cleveland, and thanking the citi-
zens for their kind and cordial reception. After
he had closed his address he retired to the hall
within, which was crowded by persons eager to
pay their individual respects to their distinguish
ed guest.
"At midnight grand serenade was given, and
the General again appeared and acknowledged
the compliment This morning hundreds called
upon him at an early hour. About IL O'Clock he
left for Columbus, amid prolonged cheers and the
firing of guns"

The following is the speech delivered by Gen.

Fellow. citizens When | say fellow citizens,
mean native and adopted citizens, as well as all
who intend to become citizens of this great and
glorious country. | thank you for the enthusi-
astic reception you have given me, cheers !; but
there is one thing regret in visiting this beaut

carriage, you should have been exposed to rain
and mud. During the military campaigns, and
at other times in the discharge of the duties of
my Office and during the greater part Of my life,
| have been on the march, and have always been
accustomed to expose myself to the weather and
other Inconvenience of camp life, in common
with the brave soldiers of the army; and / am
panied at this time to see you put to such incon-
veniences on my account. Great cheering.
Fellow citizens, have thought man could
hardly call himself citizen Of this great coun-
try without passing over these great lakes, of
which this is Justly celebrated as one of the most
beautiful of the whole West. You're welcome
here from an Irishman. | hear that rich
| bropue-I love to hear it: it makes me remember
noble deeds of Irishmen, many of whom | have
led to battle and to victory. Great cheering |
Fellow. citizens, do not intend to make speech,
am not iourneying for that purpose: | am trav-
| cling for the purpose Of selecting site for o
military hospital. | simply came, at your call
to thank you for this greeting You have seen
fit to greet me cordially SO would you greet any
one Of your country's generals | accept 1t as an
evidence Of your patriotism it conyinces me Of
your love and devotion to your country. Cheers.

covered with mud. | repeat my thanks for this
