sERESADE or GEN. LANE, OF KANsAs-Las,
night, an immense assemblage gathered in front
Of the Willard Hotel to pay their respects to
Gen. Lane, who has just returned from bis cam.
paign In Missouri. After some excellent music
by the Marine Band, Hon. Owen Lovejoy, Of ILL
nois, made very happy and forcible speech,
which he concluded by introducing Gen. Jim
Lane, the Senator from Kansas, who gave one
Of his characteristic speeches, which was re-
ceived by the audience with unanimous and
hearty applause. We can only say to-day,
that both the distinguished speakers urged the
emancipation of the slaves, as military neces-
sty, and the only way to bring the war to o
safe and speedy close aud these sentiments,
whenever uttered, we're received with unbound
ed applause. After an able speech Of at least
an hour, the General retired, amid the cheers
OF the multitude.
The speeches of both gentlemen were phono.
graphically reported for the Republican, and
will be published hereafter.

there was nothing of contraband character
discovered among the freight which consisted
chiefly of supplies Of groceries belonging tp
parties on board the steamer. There was, how.
ever, quite curious garment found on the per.
