Spectators Watch the Disembarka-
tion from the Swatara.
NoNQUITT, MASS. July s.-The following
was issued to night: 1.-The Swatara came to
| anchor off this village at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon, after run of seven hours from
New London. About two hours afterward
Gen. Sheridan was brought ashore without
any apparent discomfort, and is now in his
own cottage. He was somewhat restless
last night and consequently has been rather
nervous to-day. Nevertheless his circula-
ton continues good and his general condi-
tion is quite as favorable as iJ was when he
left the capes of Delaware"
AT NEW BEDFORD.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, July s.-Gen.
Sheridan, whose expected coming has been
leading theme of conversation here for a
week past, arrived to-day. A large number
of strangers we're attracted to the spot. The
Swatara passed the dumping light and
cast anchor more than IA mile from the
shore just before O'Clock this afternoon.
AS soon as the ship was sighted the shore and
landing place were thronged by curious
spectators, as well as by friends of the
general. After about an hours delay
several boats left the Swatara for the
shore. In the first boat were Mrs. Sheridan
and two sisters of mercy, who had been
faithful attendants upon the general. A
party of sailors was In the second boat
These boats pulled to the landing, where
the party landed and the women at once
proceeded to the new cottage erected for
Gen. Sheridan.
LANDING THE GENERAL.
At this time launch belonging to the
ship towing a boat in which was a stretcher
whereon the general rested, steamed in to-
ward the shore to the north and nearly
opposite the cottage. As the boat came
into shallow water a dozen sailors waded
out to it and carefully and tenderly lifted
the stretcher up and bore it to
the Shore The crowd of spectators,
among whom were a number of photog-
raphers, pressed forward In the
hope of getting a view Of the
generals features. They were disap-
| pointed, however, for a large umbrella
which was held over him to shield him
from the suns rays also acted as an effect"
ual barrier to curiosity.
PLEASED WITH HIS QUARTERS.
Once ashore the sailors carried him up to
his cottage and into his room. AS Gen.
Sheridan reached the cottage he was seen to
raise one hand as if in greeting, and when
he reached his room he expressed his ap-
proyal with all he saw and manifested a
wish to examine the rooms of the cottage
| in detail, a thing, of course, impracticable.
| Col. Michael Sheridan, of the generals
staff, accompanied the party from the ship
to the shore, and was in constant attendance
| on his brother.
The cottage is most tastefully decorated.
| It's front windows look out over Buzzard's
Bay and it is in close proximity to several
| other fine summer residences.
GEN. sHERIDAN's ROOM.
The General was placed in the front par
| lor, as it is the pleasantest aud most con-
venient room. The cottage although
spacious haA its capacity well tested.
The entire party go to the hotel, which is
only a short distance away, for their meals.
! Mrs. Sheridan came from the cottage late
inAhe afternoon, evidently very happy at
| the successful termination of what was re-
| garded as a very hazardous experiment
| All the conditions now seem to favor the
generals recovery, and ut no place on the
| New England coast could he be assured
greater quiet.
Col kellogg said that a bulletin giving
details of the generals condition will
probably be issued to the press by the at
tending physicians each evening at
| o'clock
