pounder vas elevated the roof ready TO fire as soon
ar the boat containing the regiment came wlthlh

Theyeichborhood of tie Arsenal, the headquarters
of the ,giment and Washington Park, where II was
understood they would be dismissed, were thronged
with anxious spectators
Ahont 10 o'clock information was received to the Ell
feet that the regiment still in Philadelphia and the
military in waiting returned to Brooklyn, laboring I'M
der the impression that they would not arrive TILL Sun
,lay. The crowds IN the streets gradually dispersed
and by midnight very few were to be seem stu some
Of the wives and friends OF the soldiers remained, and
Al last at O'Clock they arrived. few dozen, mostly
women were the only escort left. They hunted out
the ones they were in search of and demonstrated their

Them. and where they related the incidents OF the
ounev. and spoke of the events which transplred at
Arlington Higms and Washington at the time OF the
ret,eat of General McDOwells division.
In Wiliamsburgh It's seems that the news of their
return had preceded them and in an incredibly short
lime considering the early hour thousands Of people,
men. women, and children, were ont to receive them
Yesterday that part Of WilIamsburgh known as
"Datchtown' was exceedingly jubilant; houses were
yayly decorated with flags, banners, and evergTeens
and happy JOYOUS faces could be seen in every direc-
lion The members ofthe regiment express themselves
well pleased with the treatment they have received;
the only subject Of complaint they have is that they
were not permitted to take part in the battle of Bull
RIM. Their patriotism has been 10 no way impaired
nv their three months campaign, and very many of
them expr e an earnest desire 10 reens at the earll-
est possible moment. They all return in excellent
health, and apparently much improved in soldierly
appearance They don't expect to be mustered out OF
service until the return OF the 18th.
Several Of the msmbes are sick with fever and one
named Abraham Strauss, was seriously injured the
road. He was sitting a car, and in passing
bridge on the route, his head in contact with
beam, causing, It is feared, fracture. DR.. George
Cochran was busy yesterday in attending to the wants
OF the Sick and had them removed to the Hospital.
Yesterday the men, having brushed off the dust made
their appearance and visited their friends about the
city. Macy bad dofed their uniforms and put citi.
sens dress. They all present rugged, healthy, and
