GENERAL SICKLES IN NEW YORK.

Major-General Daniel E. Sickles, formerly
in command of the Second Military Dis
trict of the United States arrived in this city
Monday morning by the steamship Manhattan,
from Charleston, S. G. The General was accom-
panied by his daughter, servants, Colonel +. w.
Dennis, Judge Advocate, and Captain j. W.
Clous, A. A. A. G., both gentlemen being mem
bers of the Generals staff. General Sickles, who
has been removed from his command by the
President of the United States, for some reason
unknown to the General, is stopping at the
Brevoort House, awaiting orders from Wash
ington. On his arrival in this city General
Sickles went directly to the Brevoort House,
where a suite of rooms had been engaged for
him, and after receiving number
of calls, the visitors calling as a testi-
mony of respect to the General for the
honorable and statesmanhke course pursued
by him during his administration of the Second
Military District OF the South, he made hasty
call upon his father and mother in Abingdon
Square. The General is in excellent health
although he had very boisterous passage from
Charleston to this city. The General wore the
undress Uniform of his rank in the army, and
looks exactly as he did on the memorable day of
Getty sburg, when doing his duty CALAMITY, his
! right leg was shot to pieces, and as he did at
| Charlottesville, when with his Third Corps he
| stayed the rout of the Union army, and
restored order and organization to tumul
tuous chaos of tugitives. There is the
same COOL calm eye, well cut chin, stern
elderly face, and cropped military hair,
| making him perfect type of the French intRn-
| Try officer, so we'll known in Yernet's aud Char
pentier's pictures OF Gallo military life. During
ihe day a number of distinguished gem
| tlemen called upon the General to renew
| old intimaces and friendships, and to
| testify appreciation of his late career as
a soldier and citizen. All parties and
among the visitors. There was john B. Has
| kns burly form, bluff, manly voice, well known
| as a leader in the Democratic ranks, the fragile
form and full face of William h. Evarts, the
cruelty quiet face of Major-General Daniel
| Butterfeld formerly in command of the
| Twentieth Corps, Generals Sharham and Brew
| ster, both of whom at one time commanded
/ Sickles' Excelsior Brigade, General Tremaine,
/ and number OF other distinguished gentlemen.
The General received his visitors IN quiet, un-
/ assuming manner, without any pretense or at
tempt at demoL stratiOn. General Sickles desires
| to have IL known that he does not seek
| notOriety or public display, and intends during
his stay In the city to remain perfectly quiet and
retired from public observation.
/ The Union General Committee held a meeting
last evening TO take measures for the reception
| of General Sickles. There was very large
attendance, Mr.. Charles S. Spencer, the Chair
man OF the Committee, presiding, and MIR. VIII
liam Drummond acting as Secretary OF the
| meeting. Mr.. Spencer, who had lust returned
| from Europe, made few brief remarks IN rela-
| tion to the object tor which the meeting had
| been called. Mr.. Spencer commended warmly
| his Official career in Charleston, describing al
some length the defense and protection yielded
by him to the suffering and prosecuted Union
lists of the South, and denounced Mr.. johnson
for his baneful and shameful violation Of The
fundamental law Of the United States Govern
| ment, which was calculated to throw the grea
| republic into contempt all over the world, If the
American people any longer permitted him tC
| so continue without hindrance. Colonel Frede
! rick A. Conkling then offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted
