was was especially the case when Generals
Geary, Burnside, and Butler, and Governor
Brownlow, entered and left. Geary had re-
ceved a continued ovation as he marched down
Chestnut street in company with the National
Union Club. Burnside, on his arrival, was
beset by an eager crowd, who shouted them
selves hoarse, and then attempted to shake the

cooHy and pleasantly, and appeared as greatly
interested in all the proceedings as the smallest

| sachusetts, Arm-tn-arm.
