Boston, July l3.-General W. 7. Sherman ar
rived in this city this afternoon from Norwak,
Conn.,. and received most enthusiastic recep.
ton from the people OF the Hub" He LETT
Norwalk early in the morning, and came through
on the express, stopping only at Bridgeport, New
Haven, Meriden, Hartford, Springfield, Palmer
West Brookfeld, and Worcester, at all OF which
places he was besieged by crowds for speeches,
and was heartily cheered. At New Haven he
visited Yale, and spoke briefly to the collegians.
He also visited the Merchants Exchange, where
he addressed the merchants and business men.
1t was thought best 10 have the General and his
party-which consisted OF the Generals brother
and wife, Judge Sherman, General T. Kilby
Smith, Colonel S. M. Bowman lot General Sher-
mans staff, Miss Maria Sherman and Miss Kate
Wilcox, the former daughter, and the latter
q niece OF the General-leave the cars at Long
wood, three milas from Boston, so that he
might dodge the tremendous crowd which
would be sure TO be at the depot in the city
Accordingly, at Longwood they lett the train at
about o'clock. Here Mayor Lincoln was wait
ing with other members of the City Government,
a full escort of mounted military, consisting of
the Lapcers and Dragons, and mixed crowd.
MAY or Lincoln formally received General Sher-
man, in speech full OF Just compliments and
allusions to his triumph during the Rebellion.
The General replied briefly, SEATING that he had
been in Boston twenty years ago, and was glad
to be here again.
The party took seats in the elegant barouche
and a triumphant procession was formed, which
marched through BrooklIne and Roxbury to the
city, and thence through the many fine streets
at the south and west end to the Revere House,
where the same rooms occupied by General
Grant and suit, during their visit last August
had been engaged for him.
The streets were packed full of people, whose
voices gave utterance of their deep regard for
and appreciation OF the hero of Atlanta, "and
said. a. A''' ''''l- p''O''' "' ' ~ ''''
The barouche in which the General rode was
drawn by four highly-sprited white horses, and
around 1t crowd pressed continually to get a
glimpse of his features. He rode with his mead
uncovered, and tossed smiles here and there,
and waved his handkerchief to the many beau.
titul ladies who waved theirs to him.
In front of the Revere House an immense
crowd was gathered, who, after the General had
entered the hotel, called loudly and persistently
for speech. Finding that they would not give
him peace until he had said something, he ap-
peared upon the balcony with Mayor Lincoln,
who introduced him. There was a great hurrah
and hubbub when the General bowed after the
Mayors introduction, which did not stop for
some time. In the crowd were many soldiers
who had followed General Sherman, and who
ldolized him. These could not repress their Joy
at seeing their old commander again, and cheered
to the fullest extent OF their lungs, and pushed
and tugged to get nearer view of the General.
Quiet was not by any means restored when
| General Sherman began to speak, but after he
had said word or two the noise ceased He
spoke as tollows:-
GENTLEMEN OF BosToN.-I am indebted to you
a hundred times for this CALL and hope you
will pardon me for saying but little at this time
/ can tell you nothing which have not told
