Inents made yesterday afternoon, the friends OF
General Franz Sigel assembled last night on
Pennsylvania avenue, In large numbers, Of Ger
man and American citizens. Headed by a fine
band, and carrying hags and banners, the crowd
proceeded to Willards' Hotel and took position
on Fourteenth st. Cries were immediately made
for Sigelin and when the door Of the private
entranceFon Fourteenth street opened and sieel
stepped forth upon the porch, shout Of welcome
greete0 him from Thousands OF throat. The
porch was decorated by nne display Of Ameri-
can, French and German Flags.
MR. r. French introduced Gen. SigeI, saving
that learning Of his arrival, his friends, anxious
10 do him honor, had decided upon this as the
most proper way. He would introduce to them
General Franz Sigel, hero who had led the
American arms to victory, and who had rescued
already one State from treason and secession.
ICheeu
Gen. Sigel said he had not come on a pleasure
trip, or to crafty his own curiosity, but from
sense Of duty at the direction Of the President to
await what he would have him do, otherwise he
should do injustice to the gallant soldiers Of the
elsOn, Wilson'S Greek and Pea Ridge. TCheers.l
IL was no time to crafty personal vanity; he
only wished to see IL he could be Of any service
further 70 the glorious country IN whose cause his
sword was unsh eathed; and he broug BIT with him
hearty greeting from the army Of the West
There was no difference between the army OF the
West and the army OF the Potomac. They were
all the cherished soldiers Of the same glorious
Union; children Of the sSIre country, and defend
ers OF the same glotious flag. Loud cheers In
their dreary marches over the mills and along the
waters Of Arkansas and Missouri, he thought the
army Of the Potomac would not forget the brave
men struggling there. In bis trip from 81. Louis
70 this city he had found the people ready for any
emergency. IL necessary all will come forward
But they want activity; they want a SIGHT, and
they want somebody to get hurt the people would
sooner see bad retreat than good standing still
A people whose energy increases with every dan
ger are invincible. IChee1 ! But we must fight
and there should be no rest until the country is
safe and every city In the south has become
central point Of liberty, where the rights Of free
speech, free assemblage and free press should
have the fullest exercise. Tyranny and oppres
sion cannot exist where such rights are exercised
lCheen
In thanking the audience for the.r Kindness. he
would not regard this compliment personal to
him, so much as a manifestation Of sympathy
with the army that has fought so bravely on the
bloody selds Of the West. TGreat applause, and
