The Invitation to the Russian Fleet.

1t will be recollected by our readers that
few weeks since, our City Council unanimously
and very properly passed resolutions inviting
u visit from the Russian Fleet, now lying in
the harbor of New York, to this city, AT some
time agreeable to the Admiral-and Com
mittee was appointed to express these respects
and wishes Of this city. That Committee Sc
lected Messrs. Messer and Holden, of the City
Government, to present the resolutions to the
Russian Admiral, and solicit his compliance.
On Wednesday last, as we learn, they reach
ed New York, and in company with the Mayor
of New York, and Committee from the Mu-
nicipality of Philadelphia to invite the fleet
there, took a steamer and proceeded to the
Admiral's ship. He had had notice of the
visit, and was therefore prepared for it. Barges
put OF from the ship and received the delega-
tions, while the Band, of which they have a
very good one on board, played national airs.
The gentlemen were received very heartily,
and the resolutions were rendered. Ton the
part of our city by Alderman Messer) present
the compliments of the cities and warm de-
sire, on the part of each, that they might be
gratifed in their expectations.
The Admiral replied, in very good English.
and in very good taste, that his first duty was
to pay his respects to the President of the
United States, and he should soon proceed to
Washington for that object. Then il would
be his purpose to comply with these invita-
lions just as far as he could. He knew that
these honors were not intended for him, but
for his imperial master the Garland he knew
that it was his wish that he should comply
with all these invitations If he could. The
good feeling between the two countries had
been alluded to-and he said that it was the
intention of Russia that il should not only
continue but increase. The Admiral was
warm and hearty in his address, and made
capital impression upon the gentlemen present.
rs he concluded, he proposed the "Health of
the President of the United States"-which
was received with three cheers, and Presi-
dental salute from the Admiral's ship OF twen-
ty-one guns. The Health of the Emperor and
Empress of Russia was drunk with all the
honors, and the Russian Ensign run down and
the American Flag run up in its place.
Every movement made by the Admiral and
his officers was OF the most cordial nature
and Of the most complimentary character; and
it was evident that they were gratifled to be
here and to receive these attentions from
nation they so much respected.
The Admiral stated that he had formerly
visited this country on tour of inspection of
various improvements. He is evidently a man
standing high in his own country, and his
bearing is marked by urbanity and heartiness.
II was quite evident that tour among the
sea-ports of this country was favorite plan
Oh the officers of the fleet, and they were in
nigh hopes to be enabled to carry it out.

Sixty thousand three hundred and seventy

perhaps the mistake originated in that way.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Last evening Mr. James
Fitzgerald, an employee at the Grand Trunk
depot, having finished his work for the day,
went into the wash-room to clean himself.
Shortly after, he was found upon the floor of
the room lifeless, and bathed in blood. A sur
geon was called who examined the body, and
gave it as his opinion that the deceased had
burst blood vessel as the blood was flowing
freely from the nostrils and ears. There was
slight scar upon the face occasioned by the
fall. Coroner Hall, who had been summoned.
upon learning the facts, deemed it unnecessary
TO hold an inquest.
The deceased was worthy man, about %
years of age, and had been in the employ of
the company for long time. He leaves
wife but no children.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 26.
Gen. Rosecrans arrived at about IL o'clock
this forenoon, and was escorted to the Burnet
House by an immense crowd of citizens. He
was enthusiastically welcomed throughout the
entire line of march. Judge Storer introduced
the General to the assemblage, by saying that
his fellow citizens of Cincinnati appreciated
the work he has accomplished for his country,
aud he assured him of their mistaken conf
dence. While he had never dishonored his
native State, his native State had never for
gotten him. Abiding to his removal from the
Army Of the Cumberland, Judge Storer said
the people would require the records upon
which that action was based.
Gen. Rosecrans returned thanks for the ex-
preston of sympathy and respect which this
public reception implied. While he felt fiat
tered by it he could not forget that the heart
of the people did not 80 out to individuals
alone; it was the principle for which we were
contending; the struggle for national life which
produced such assemblies. He asked the peo-
pie never TO forget their duty to the govern
ment whatever might happen to individuals
The question as to how he had been treated
he desired to leave for future time to answer
Some friends of mine in New York, he said,
are very solicitous about my health. The Ar
my of the Cumberland think l am well enough,
and so do L. As for the quantity of opium
have taken, consult my druggist.

assured me that they regret exceedingly that
such false reports should be started. lie said

action in that affair, and whatever charges APP

readiness to do whatever the government re-
quires of him.
At the conclusion of his speech cheers were
given for Gen. Rosecrans and the Army Of
the Cumberland. The welcome throughout
was earnest and hearty.
