RETURN OF THE FIRST REa1MENr.-The First Regiment c. V., Col Burnham, arrived at New Haven, " from the war;" at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. They left Washington on their return O clock Friday morning, where they were detain ed till in the evening. There they were fed by the editor of the Baltimore Clipper, at his owr | expense-a kind and generous act. Left Balti more for Havre de Grace, where they were again detained several hours reached Philadelphia Saturday noon, and had good dinner from the volunteer association and after that got nothing except little hard bread, till II o'clock Sunday when they sat down to bountiful table in Ma. tional Hall, New Haven. They were conveyed from Jersey City in the steamer |" Elm City," The regiment seemed to have been poorly pro. vded for, on their journey, receiving but two de. cent meals from Thursday noon to Sunday noon and those from pure generosity. They come fresh from the battle field, and all it's dangers and suffering and exhausting hardships; yet with nearly full ranks, and in general soundness ot health and strength. Their arms and camp equip age were left at Washington, for the use of the government. Their uniforms are pretty much used up by wear and tear, their faces are bronzed by Virginia sun, and their outward appearance was decidely rough.
 Thousands met them at the landing, and their reception was hearty one. Gov. Buckingham was one of the first to welcome them home, and marched on foot at the head of the column first to the State House where they deposited their knapsacks, then to their dinner at National Hall There he publicly welcomed them in a brief speech thanking them for their services.
