SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 22.-The agreed
signal of the sighting of the Toxic twenty
five miles out was given at Bis Saturday
afternoon. At once guns were fired, bells
rung and whistles blown for an hour all
over the city. By $50 the incoming guest
was being saluted by salvos from Fort
Point, Black Point, Angel Island and AL
catraz Island. The Toxic came in slowly
as the sun was setting, a feet of other craft
of all sizes trailing along behind, and the
night was very picturesque. The Toxic
came to anchor about GAO and General
Grant was transferred to an Oakland Ferry
steamer, and was formally welcomed to the
city by Mayor Bryant. The crowds from the
hills returned to the heart of the city,
thousands poured in from all quarters, and
soon the streets, through which the process
sion was to pass, were literally jammed.
The route was almost solid mass of
bunting and the order of march the same as
had been arranged and was before men
toned in these dispatches Having COW
cred the line of march the procession coun-
termarched down Market to the Palace
Hotel, where the Generals carriage passed
under the trumphal arch, and he was then
conducted 10 his elegant suite of apart
ments The streets were almost blocked by
the crowds.
