Return OF the Volunteers.

Tho fret Maine Regiment reached Port.

large concourse Of people had assembled to
receive them and q military escort WAS
provided. After an address Of welcome the
roop. marched through several sof the
street,. and partoSk OF q bOuniiful collation.
prepared for their refreshment. The COM
panies were then ordered to report on Mon
day morning, and dismissed. On Monday,
after receiving their pay they vert mister
ell out Of tho service.
Some Misunderstanding. we learn has aris-
on relative TO the Communication for clothing.
A. We have heard the statement. a monthly
allowance !. made for clothing. The col
diers considered this TO DO additional TO the
uniform originally furnished; and no, hav.
Ing received extra garments, expected com.
mutation to that amount would DO paid

OF welcome was made by syIvann' Cobb,

warmer tokens OF welcome. than ever Jer-

more touching than was the parting which
had drawn 90 many tears. The members
were then invited to par;ake Of bountiiul
collation., after which they separated TO re-

To The Editor Of me Bihi Couri1.
Since my letter to you, Of the 10Th Of la.
month, how varied has been the tide Of emo
tions which have swept over our Country.
Tho intelligence VI the retreat OF the FEEDER.
al troops. a, The battle Of Bull Run. on tho

as have never before witnessed in any CON.
muniiy upon any occasion. But though
the engagement was an unfortunate one Tor
the federal troops, !, did not prove TO b
as disastrous As wa, ~ tirst reported ani
consequently much OF the anxiety ieli on the
receipt Of the frst Dispatches, was di.Pel!ei
by later reports. Tho defeat j. TO bs great.

The fr., reports Of the retreat Of the fed.

in arousins the se;essionists, to degree Of
