 hundreds of citizens taking advantage Inf tbe opportunity to make the ac- ouaintanle of the famous soldier who is at present visiting Tucson. Gen.

 .EGov. FREMONT: Permit me on tbe mart of the citizens here assem Oled to offer you a sincere welcome to lheII
 ancient and honorable pueblo IL is now more than three decades since vou crossed the Great American Des- ert scaled the lofty heights of the Sierra Nevada and from thence de- scended upon the beautiful plains of california, where you raised the
 . Bear flag amid the plaudits or vOur followers. You, sir, are the or irinal pioneer of the Pacific Coast, and the Governor of the last, but not least Territory of our Union. As such, we tender you a most cordial greeting upon this your visit to our city"
 Gov. Fremont in replying. thanked the citizens for their cordial recep- tion. He said that hIs present wei come was somewhat different from
 what it was 30 years ago, when he found Tucson an isolated and insig- nificant little pueblo away of on the confines of civilization. He congrat- ulated the citizens upon their thrift and enterprise. YOu have,' he said,
 {" transformed this locality into
 great and growing center of trade. Railroads, which will soon form a junction between the East and West, will bring to your doors the products of the whole country, and you will reap reward for your patience and toll. The projected railroads into Mexico, when built, will afford you additional facilities for commercial ventures, and the position of Tucson will add greatly to the securing of the benefit of the trade on both sides of the Sierra MadTe. These events, which will be realized in the near fu- ture. will rebound to the great bene- it of your city, and will make Tue son the great commercial metropolis Of the frontier.
 Taking a position at the head of the hall, the Governor re- ceived the long line of visitors pre- Sented to him by the Committee on Introduction, and seemed very much pleased 10 meet so many people and from so many ranks in life. The re- ception was double success, as it called together all classes of people and enabled them 10 make the ac- quaintance of the chef officer of the Territory. The impression made by Governor Fremont was very favor able, aud the remarkably fine appear ance of the hale old soldier fully war ranted it.
 Later in the evening some of the younger people indulged in dancing to the splendid music of the Sixth Cavalry string band. The music tur- nished by the latter was especially good, and proved one of the chief pleasures of the evening.
