From the Wes9 York Times, Nou. 80.
Gen. Fremont, lately recalled from the
command of the Western Department,
arrived in this city on Thursday from ST..
Louis, reaching here by the way of Albany
and the Hudson River Railroad. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Fremont and two
members of his staff, who we're with him
on service in Missouri. Taking rooms at
the Astor House, he remained within
doors all day, and manifests the utmost
reserve in his communications. He was,
however, visited by many personal friends
during the morning.
Among others who called were Vice
President Hamlin, Senator Harris, Hon.
Mr.. Morril, Gen. Hall and deputation
from the Rocky Mountain Glee Club !;
Charles B. Sedgewick, Senator Foote, of
Vermont, and large number of citizens,
nearly all of whom were anxious for him to
accept public demonstration. He how
ever declined.
Mrs Fremont received large number
of personal friends, and her. leree was,
quite as much as her husbands, attended
by distinguished ornaments of public and
private life. General Fremont and family
will remain several days in the city.
GEN. FREMONT AND TIE GERMAN COMMITTEE
OF RECEPTION.
Upon learning thelfact Of Gen. Fremonts
rival and presence at the Astor House, in
this city, the German Reception Committee
OF Eleven appointed last week, at general
meeting of the German citizens sympathz-
ing with the late Commander of the West
tary I DsRarltHmsnas ms At It'll Coming
of DIR, Adelsberg, who was to have accom-
named them. and introduced them to Gen.
Fremont. The Doctor being detained by
illness, or some similar cause, did not ar,
rive, and at o'clock Messrs. koPp luntli
recently of the New Yorker Democrat. and
Mr.. Goeze set out for the Astor House
with a view to meet their missing friend.
At the hotel their cards sent up to DR..
Adeisberg, were, in his absence, conveyed
to Gen. Fremont, who courteously received
the visitors. Messrs. Kopp and Goetze en-
tered into social conversation with the dis
tinguished guest and Mrs. Fremont, who
happened to be present, explaining that they
had come informally, as private persons, to
call upon mutual friend, and congratula-
ting themselves upon the chance that had
| procured them an opportunity OF expressing
their high appreciation Of the character and
services Of the Major General, and the re-
spectful sympathy they felt for him in his
existing complications. They added that
these, they felt sure, were the sentiments OF
the vast body of Germans in New York.
Gen. Fremont, in acknowledging the com
plimeut, remarked that while some old
friends of his both in civil life and in the
! army persons of high position'-who had
been with him in brighter days, now evinc-
ed dispotion to stand aloof from him in
the hour of difficulty, the Germans had
been, from first to last, In sunshine and in
storm, true and steadfast. He felt proud Of
the honest and enduring sympathy they
continued to manifest, and hoped that in
vestigation would prove that he had not
been unworthy of it. He courted the most
thorough inquiry, but felt peculiar delca-
cy in receiving any public demonstrations
that his kind friends might feel like making
at this time.
