The regiment returns with the same number of men
it took cut-6jO-not one having died. and every man
comes home wen. They left Annapolis on Saturday
evening at q o'clock, and arrived at Baltimore at /
O'Clock yesterday morning, where the drums Of the
regiment walked the echoes, and also many Of the in
habitans who put their heads ont of the windows, but
gave no expression to their sentiments.
At Philadelphia where they arrived about noon yes
tertny and remained three hours, they enthusi-
astically received aud provided with magnificent
dinner, which they maniiestly appreciated All along
the route the enthusiasm bTokeout at every station and
between the stations.

more than could have been expected.

noon at two O'Clock, when the regiment will pass
through broadway and other streets.
