'E"1 nI From the Boston Atlas, Maya u
Massachusetts, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived her slaughtered dead from Balti-
more slaughtered while marching thro'
d city Of the republic, under the Stars and
Stripes, in obedience to the mandate Of
the Government, to defend the capital Of
the nation from invasion and ruin BY an
army of unreasoning and besotted traitors.
On the 10th Of: April-that great historic
day iii our annals they whose bodies now
pepose peacefully in the bosom of Massa-
ohusetts, laid down their lives, the first
sacrifices in tho unnatural war which the
South l,as forced npon US ,.:...,,. ;,
The people were not notified, unltil a
late ho1r, that the bodies were expected to
reach tho CITY, But sudden and brief as
was, the.notice; it quickly. spread Through
the city on ten thousand tongues, and
miulltitudes poured forth from their bust
ness places and workshops, to participate
in the silent but impressive; eeremonials
Of receiving these sacred iemains, and con-
tdiBg them to. the. care Of the Compon-
wealth which, but two short weeks before,
had sent them forth to do battle for their
country and the honor Of her flag ~;:'
The bodies werer three'- III number -
Only one of, Them, that of Corperal Sum-
ner H. 'Geedham, Of Lawrence, Company
l, Sixth Regiment, is identified: He, it
viii be remembered, died in Baltimore, on
Saturday last, from wounds sustained in
the brutal and cowardly assault upon his
regiment. The. other two remain unrec
ognized to this day. One Of the two is
probably the body that was outraged and
kicked and mangied after death,1 accounts
Of which have been published. - They
were contained in metallic cases, which
were inclosed in substantial pine boxes.
