Indiana all along the shore.
Among those on board the boat was Governor
Letcher, of Kentucky, lately from Mexico, and on
his way to Washington, and the Hon. J. Glover,
late United States Consul to Mexico, also on the
road to Washington. A large number of citizens
from Louisville, and deputation from the Gin

AT several places aleng the shore bonhres were
lighted Illuminating the Ohio almost the entire
distance to Carrollton. When we reached Car
rollton, KY, dense fog had descended, and it
was found impracticable to go further that night
Indeed, the light OF the numerous bonfres and
torches on shore and at the landing, alone pre-
vented the boat from running ON the bank. On
reaching the wharf, 1t was found to contain nearly
200 people, assembled to greet General Scott.
The General had retired to rest, but so loud were
the calls of the people, that he awoke, and came
out on deck in his dressing gown, to address q

been in his first sleep, the fog had very bad
effect on him, and rendered him quite unwell

welcome from, or addressing his thanks to the
citizens Of Cincinnati.
The boat laid over at Carrollton all aight, and
left early this morning, as soon the fog lifted.

which the boat touched, very large numbers of
citizens assembled, all Of whom were most en-

Towards afternoon the indispostion of the GEN

to be imprudent for him to 60 deck and adj
dress the people assembled along the shore.
Governor Letcher therefore addressed the various
gatherings on behalf of the General, informing

company. Nearer the city q third boat also
crowded, came up turned and struck into line.
On nearing the city the guns commenced pealing
forth salutes, and the levee and buildings were
discovered completely covered with a dense mass
of human beings.
The streets also appeared thronged as viewed
in perspective from the river. The troops were
drawn up, music playing, colors flying, and every
boat along the levee decked out with flags, and
covered with human beings. The entire scene
was one Of the greatest excitement and splendor
Every thoroughfare seemed alive with swarming
thousands, and there could not have been less
than one hundred thousand people on foot. The

When the boat neared the levee, the shout Of
the multitude rose on high with a wild and deaf
ening roar, and the scene was very imposing. SO
closely was the levee crowded, that the entire
bank appeared like black and rolling sea, as the
multitude swayed to and fro in the common anx-
