/ Of procession OF military and civilians, two
miles in length the President and cortege moved
Through the principal streets Of the city. The
march Of the procession occupied upwards Of an
honr and half. Every square by which it passed
was crowded with people, and the houses, as well
as the public buildings, were handsomely deco
rated. TriumphaI arches were erected oyer the
roads at various points; and, in short, the enthu
sasn was unrestrained and irrepregsible almost
beyond description.
The contest for the honor of entertaining the
party was so earnest, that it was only by COM
promise, by which it vas arranged that they
should occupy quarters at the Linden House and
partake of banquet at the Southern Hotel, that
twas satisfactorily terminated
When the head Of the procession arrived at the
Lindell House, it was unable to force its way
through the dense masses which had gathered
there, until all the efforts of the police had for
some time been engaged in the opening of a pas
sage.
The front Of this splendid hotel was covered
with large flags, and every available point about
was occupied by people anxious to share in the
dnimaung spectacle.
AS soon as the party entered the hotel, they
proceeded Immediately to the portico, where an
other scene was witnessed, which alone could not
but make this day memorable. In front Of the
hotel there was magnificent array of troops and
sea of citizens reaching far beyond the range of
distinct vision. The President aid his party com
prising Secretary Seward, General Grant and Ad-
miral Farragut, as they stood on the balcony were
' the cynosure Of all eyes. And the tout ensemble
formed rich and brilliant pageant never to be
forgotten
The President delivered address from the
balcony, and, after the ceremony of introduc-
tons, he and his party retired to rest, and pre-,
i pare for the banquet to be given in the evening
At nine o'clock this entertainment was com
menced, and it proved sumptuous, recherche, and
a. bouteous even beyond precedent on the tour.
Great efforts are being made to induce the Presi-
dent to prolong his stay here until Tuesday; but
Y it is doubtful whether they will be successful.
y The Mexican minister, sr. Romero, has already
y returned to Washington, and important matters
~ may require others to do SO within the time
s allotted for the tour.
