The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-11-09

Lleutenant-Genera Sherman arrived here
aot ut eleven o'clock last night and went at once
10 the Metropolitan, where he had secured
rooms by telegraph. He was accompanied by
Lleutenant-C Colonel James G. Anderson, of the
United States Army, and - nv Campbell and
his daughter. Rooms had been obtained by
some OF the Generals friends at the Hoffman,
out owing to the telegram informing him of the
fact not being received in time, he secp- I'd
apartments Tor himself as above mentioned. As
the General aighted from his carriage he was
greeted with hearty cheers by number OF per-
sons who had assembled in and around the
hotel for the purpose of seeing him. He retired
at once, seeing only few intimate friends. His
programme for to-day has not yet been deter
mined upon, but he will probably pass the
morning in going about the city, and devote the
afternoon or evening to public reception. To-
morrow he will embark upon the Sasquehdnnd
and sail for Mexico, accompanied by Mr. Camp
bell, our newly appointed Minister to that
country. .......
This mission is understood to be an endeavor
to reconcile the 0rtega and Juarez parties upon
the departure of Macmillan. General 0rtega
said, before he left this city, that soon the
war with the French was ended he would pro-
pose to Juarez that an election for the Presi-
dency should be held, by the result OF which
both were to abide. II Juarez accedes to this
proposition, General Sherman's mission will be
an easy one; but If the Liberals fight among
themselves, it is whispered that Sherman is
authorized TO support Juarez, and employ the
assistance OF United States troops in maintain
ing his authority.
Such, it is said in well-informed circles are
the Instructions under which General Sherman
is TO act. This position of our Government to-
wards Mexico has II Is stated Oeen taken in
consequence of the intrigues of Senior Romero,
Juarez's Minister at Washington; but 1t is for
the advantage of Mexico to De governed by an
established power even though it is necessary
! o do evil that good may come" Mr.. Camp
Delfs directions, OF course, correspond with
those OF General Sherman, and it is almost
needless 10 say, he is fully empowered to sup
port the General in any course which he may
deem fit to support. ..... ........... ....
At the hotels, although much talk prevailed
concerning the General, and many rumors re-
garding him and his mission were flying about,
there was an almost unanimous feeling ex-
pressed 10 let him alone for the night, and not
10 deprive him of the rest which he must so
much have needed after his long and fatiguing
journey.
At one of the uptown hotels quite number
OF Mexican and French residents of the city
were collected, and small host of Mexcans
stood discussing The prospects OF eel Meiico"
and the intentions OF eel ieneral Sherman" until,
upon proposal being made by one of their
Dumber to take some Ggu0daeate, the whole
party moved OF towards the bar room.
At the door OF the same hotel were two
Frenctmen, who were engaged in conversation
Nearby was an Irishman, leaning against one
OF tLe pillars, and calmly and meditatively
smoking coal-black dhudeen.
One OF the FrencLmen happened to mention
the fact of Sherman's departure.
SHERMAN" said his companion, "OU "a t-Hg
"a MoXique,n was the reply.
"Make sick !" broke in the wild Irshmau,
''make sick Be jabers, an if he doesn't make
them durty froe-atin Frenchman sick If they
don't lave the country, Pm goat"
The Frenchmen gaZed at him for a few mo-
ments in astonishment, and then, dimly real
izlng that some insult had been offered to their
beloved France and their people, they began
wildly gesticulating and pouring forth torrent
of words, which the Irishman listened to with
either philosophic calmness or ignorance of the
language. After eXhausting upon him their en-
tire vocabulary OF abusive words and terms
they withdrew in disgust, leaving Paddy the
master of the situation, and ruminating over his
pipe and the "frog.aters.n
Although General Sherman's stay in the city
is TO be so short he will, without doubt have
ample opportunity of experiencing the hos
pitality for which New Workers are famous, and
Of observing how New York can not only
esteem a hero, but admire one who treats a
fallen foe with magnanimity, and a subdued
enemy with generosity and trust.-N, Y. World
