RECEPTION OF GEN. FsssENDEN.-Gen en-.
lost leg in that battle, returned hope yes
terday, and was received with such honors as
grateful people love TO bestow upon those
who have suffered In their country's cause.
A subcommittee from the Committee OF
Arrangements on the part of the City Coun-
Gil consisting OF Aldermen Messer and Beal,
and Councilman Hamlin, Bailey aud Thurs
ton, went out to South Berwick Junction yes
terday morning. and welcomed Gen. Fessen-
den ha ok TO lie State, informing him Of
the arrangements made for bis reception in
this City. 1t was entirely unexpected by the
General for he had not counted on any public
reception whatever.
The train arrived here at half past twelve
O'Clock. As soon as it struck the bridge .
National salute Of IS guns was fired. Alarge
crowd had collected at the depot to welcome
the General back to the city, and handker-
chiefs were waved and greetings sent forth as
he was taken from the car TO the carriage.
The carriage in which he was placed was oc-
~uPtSu W eHo M13ot, suaso EoA anu Ooi
Kimball OF the 18th Maine regiment.
The escort was composed Of the 18th Maine
regiment, 1t Col Ilsley and the reserved In
valid Corps from Camp Berry. Capt. John A.
Mcdonnell, together with the Band of the
nth U. 5. Infantry-preceded by the City
Marshal and platoon OF police officers. In
consequence of the weakness of Gen. Fessen-
den it was deemed prudent to forego the
route advertised for the procession to pass,
and he was accordingly escorted up Park
street TO the residence OF his father-in-law,
Judge Fox, in State street, the procession be-
ing accompanied by crowds of citizens.
When he arrived at the residence of Judge
Fox, and as he was about to leave the car
rage, three stunning cheers were given ito
the hero of Cane river" which the General
acknowledged by rising in the carriage and
bowling. Three raore were then given the
General as he was borne from the carriage to
the house and the crowd then separated.
!, The General, though weak looked much
better than we anticipated. We trust in =
brief time he may recover his usual strength
and be about with US again.
