GEN. WHEELER WAS NOT sLIGHTED

fTom the mobile Herald.
Some papers are still talking about the
slight to General Wheeler in Charleston.
There was none. General Wheeler has
said SO, the committee has said so and
there is no reason to believe there was any
slight. The negro carried the horse to the
wrong place. The colored brother is at the
bottom of most of our trouble nowadays.

At an early hour this morning the

the Hancock, and after careful in

health. Soon afterward the sick and
wounded were taken in ambulances to
the hospital at the Presidio 1t had
been arranged that those of the men
able to march should be landed at noon
and march to the Preside by way of
the principal streets. AS an attendant
guard of honor, six companies of the
Second Oregon, with the regimental
band were detailed at the dock 1t
was found, however, that the men
could not conveniently be landed earlier
than o'clock, and that even then some
of their paraphernalia and trophies of
war which they desired to use in their
triumphal march were deep down in
the hold, and would not be available.
Governor Poynter of Nebraska made
these representations to Major General
Shafter, and upon the urgent request
OF the Governor, General Shafter Or
dered that the landing of the Han
cocks passengers be deferred until
Monday morning at o'clock. Ignorant
of this amended order tens of thou
sands of San Franciscans, in holiday
attire, lined both sides of Market
street and Van Ness avenue and waited
for hours to shout welcome to the re-
turning soldiers. 1t was not until the
Oregon companies who had been desig-
mated as an escort marched back alone
that the waiting crowds understood
they must bottle up their enthusiasm
for twenty hours longer.
