GEN. SHERMAN IN CHICAGO.

The reception of Gen. Sherman, in chica'
20, was one of those magnificent tributes 70
= great patriot which Chicago and the north
west knows so we'll how to pay. liz was De-
yond all question, the most overpowering
and enthusiastic affair ever witnessed in that
oity. and participated in by everybody
Thousands of people have gone to the great
fair, at Chicago, from all the western states,
for no other reason in the world but to see
Sherman and hear what he would say.
The Times of the 9th says:
The knowledge that Gen. Sherman was in
the city, that he would be seen at the fair,
that he would be heard to speak, that he
would meet many of his old field companions
there. that he would actually be present
seemed to act electrically upon the citizens
Yesterday, and every man and woman who
could free themselves from their regular av-
ocatons hastened early in the forenoon to-
wards the buildings of the sanitary fair
Long before the general made his appearance
the halls were perfectly crowded. 1t was OF
no use for any lady to attempt to prosecu te
business on such an occasion, in so far as the
stalls were concerned. There was but one
thought, one feeling, one expectation every
where and that all centered upon the expec'
fancy of seeing Gen. Sherman.
