The notification given in the papers, that
this distinguished Gsnerrl, family and staff
would pass through the city last evening
operated more charmingly than pill ever
operated before, and there was q general
movement of all classes of people depot
ward about nine O'Clock. Full E thousand
persons-men and women, young and old,
aad gamins,--thronged the depot, and
ehoksd the passage to Metsrs. Wheeler and
RusselPs diniDg establishment, in which,
it was understood, the General would be
entertained as to his inner man. The train
arrived on time, and there was, inside
said dining apartment, smopg the many
fortunate spectators there, q general hush
of expectancy. His staff and members Of
the travelling party came in one after an
other. and a veg gave out hat the General
had changed his mind, and concluding to
remain all night In the city, had gone up
to the hotel. Just ss an impulse to make
out Of the rom had seized the inmates, the
cheers in the depot began ringing out with
electric effect, and all knew that the con-
quer1ng chief had arrived. His coming
was marked by a constantly nearing a
of cheers ard shouts, and presently the
vacq1isber of johnson aud Hood, and the
imp sing "Peripatetic" of Georgia and the
Carolinss strobe into the hall.
The photographers lave dealt quite
| faithfully with him, and his face was as
familiar IS that of a brother. The manner
of the man is relf- inv,lved he pays little

much less does he return the compliment

of sffsctslion, such as the irst Napoleon
was capable of and often practical, or of s
breach Of courtesy. The man seemed self
involved, unconscious and, in a word
thoroughly pre-. occupied.
He has q fl e figure, is tai, slim
and wears an extremely nervous aspect
The photographers give his head witt
considerable correctness, although art he
given him a more websterian brow thai
nature allows. His lead is massive, broad
high and deep. His eye is full and of

distance has an introverted expression
His nose is prominent and wears q fierce
ius4tiate, hungry expression, resembling
scimeisr His sandy beard is clOse-cropped
and moustacbe ard goatee of q light cclol
The lines of his face around the eye
and mouth are very expressive, and
p~hysiognom'st would say Here is 8 ma
born to command. And yet there is moth
ing in the mans appearance calculated t
infuse awe into one approaching him. Thi
is due to the factthat he puts on no " style
whstever, and also to the fact alread
noted, that he seems go self involved an
unconscious Of Others. He does not seeI

Heves one of the fright one usually feels i
the presence of the great.
Tbs General was attended by his wife,
plain, sensible and pleasant looking lit
lazy in black, and his son Tommy,
lad eight or ten years old, who bears h
fathers head, and wears corpo ais che
erons upon his arms. We presume by tn

The General was restless and was anxio
