OVATION TO MAJOR GENERAL
ROSECRtNS.

We copy from the Cincinnati Com
mercial of the 9th inst, the proceedings
Of the warm reception the brave RosE-
GRAMS received from the loyal people OF
the Queen City Of the West. The
Steamer containing the General landed
at the wharf ut l0Ia A. NJ. when his
arrival was announced by the firing OF
cannon. On reaching the Burnei House,
Third street, in front of the hotel, was
literally blocked with people, as were,
also, the broad steps and spacious bal
comics. Such concourse of pcople
have not been seen since the Prince
of Wales attracted the masses TO look
upon his regal face. After entering the
hotel by the side door, the General was
conducted to the front of the balcony by
Judge Storer, who thus welcomed him to
the city:

there was but one ground to take, and
that was the position, Of unreserved loyal
ty to the Union, the whole Union, and
nothing but the Union. You have pass
ed through very many scenes of blood /;
you have seen what few men in this his
tory of this world are ever permitted 10
see ; aud through all these scenes we
have foilowedyou, from Cheat Mountain
down to the last great battle at Chickn.
mauga, with the assurance that the flag
under which you have fought so long,
never, no never, would be disgraced by
any act of yours. Aud that assurance
has come to US not merely as a profound
faith, but it has been sustained as a real
verify, a great fact (Cheers.l II has
become historical, and need not recount
your services on those fields where you
have beer compelled to endure so much,
but where victory has ever crowned you
with success. They are historical, they

he who would attempt to efface the one
or destroy the other is not yet born.
Great cheers. "
