THE HEROES OF MoNTEREY-Just one
year ago there marched through our streets
as noble and splendid body of men as ever
went forth to batlle.-They were about nine
hundred strong. The men were in the vi
COR of their youthful manhood, and as in
perfect orderand with military precision they
paraded through our city, the admiration
of our people broke forth in loud applause
of the gallant array.-This was the first
Tennessee regiment, under the heroic vete-
ran Col. Campbell They left our city
fresh from their own happy homes in the
mountains and by the river sides in health
full Tennessee, full of hope, ambition, and
patriotism they departed in cheerful spir-
its with impatient ardor for the scene Of
,,.r
On Friday last the whole of this gallant
regiment, whose history we have thus brief
ly sketched, arrived in our city. 1t num-
bers just three hundred and fifty, about one
third the force with which it left And this
loss it has sustained in twelve months
campaign. 1t has averaged loss of fifty
men monlh.-.N 0. Picayune.

WELCOME HoME.-Preparations were
being made in New Orleans, on the 9Th in
slant, to give brilliant reception to the
First Mississippi Regiment, commanded by
Col. Jefferson Davis, on their return from
the memorable scenes of Monterey and
Buena Vista. Mr.. Prentiss had engaged to
deliver an address, and General Lewis to
call out the Louisiana Legion to partake in
the ceremonies; Captain Stockton had Of
fered the services of his artillery company
TO fire salute of one hundred guns; and a
large sum had already been collected to pay
for collation. and the other expenses atten-
dant upon the reception. 1t was decided
that General Lewis be requested to meet the
regiment at whatever time Col. Davis may
appoint, at its quarters, where civic and
military procession should be formed, and
march to the Place d .Armes, where the ad-
dress by Mr. Prentiss was to be delivered
and the collation. given. The Legion, and
all other military personages in the city,
were invited as guests. The most ample
preparations (says the Picayune) will be
made in the Place d'.4rmes for the occa-
sion and from the heartness with which
the gentlemen Of the committee have gone.
into the affair there is no doubt the "star>
regiment" will receive the welcome at M
Orleans which their deeds at Monterrey
Buena Vista merit.-WaSh. american.
