their respective destinations.
Our company-Co. F-arrived here at
Of 1880 A. NJ. They were met at the
cars by procession consisting of the
entire population of town, men, women
and children. After three times three
had been given for the "boys," and the
usual amount of ,hand-shaking and greet
ing was had, the procession, headed by
Chief Marshal d. o. Evans, and the rear
brought up by the company, took up its
line of march, traversing High street to
the west extreme and returning to the
diamond" On the route, number of
Gags had been suspended across the street,
for each of which the boys gave three
rousng cheers. Three cheers were also
given The AHeghanian--a compliment we
highly appreciate and feel proud Of At
the residence of the late Adjutant Noon
as also at the Office formerly occupied by
the lamented Captain Jones, both of which
we're draped in mourning, suitable trib-
utes of respect were paid.
Returning to the diamond, Welcome
address was delivered by Mr.. D j. Jones,
in substantially the following words:
FcIlo,c Citizens, and Soldiers of CO. +, I33d
?. y: With pleasure we hail your return,
snQ meet yOu liio W cAAcnu " Gu
friendly welcome. Nine months ago you left
the peaceful avocatons of life, exchanging
the weapons of the arts of peace for those OF
var, and promptly responded to your coun-
try's call, to serve in the army of the Union.
During that eyentfnl period you have endu-
red the hardshIps and privations incident 10
soldiers life, ard passed through the ordeal
of battle. You went forth strong in the right
eousness of the cause in which you had
Ested-the preservation CT our Government
and the perpetuation of our free institutions.
Faithfully and gallantly you performed your
duty. Although not in all cases so success
ful as you desired, yet your devotion is none
the less appreciated by loyal people, and
you this day deserve and receive the praise
and gratitude of all loyal citizens. But our
JOY this day,is not unmixed with grief, for we
fail TO discern, in your thinned ranks, the
bright and manly faces of brave comrades
who departed with you. Where is your be-
loved Captain Jones, your respected and es-
teemed Lieut.. scott, your companions in
arms, r. NJ. and John NJ. Jones, Humphreys,
Morgan, Virgins, Bracken, and others, with
many of whom 1t was our privilege to associ-
ate from boyhood? ? And where is your wor-
thy Adjutant, j. c. Noon Though not of
your company yet of your regiment. Many of
the pleasant hours OF childhood we spent
together. He was high in stature-higE his
hopes and aspirationS-h9h Oh in the estimation
Of his comrades-pure his patriotism-un-
sullied his iutegrty-generous and kind
They have all fallen, and nobiy fallen at the
post of duty, fighting valiantly for the honor
and integrity of their country. They sacri-
need their lives upon their country's altar,
sealing their love aud zeal for the Union with
Their blood. They have fought their last
hght and now calmly repose the banks of
Inc Rappahannock, while traitors feet poilute
The soil which contains their moulderiRg
mains. But ere long we hope to visit their
graves, and pay that honor which their per-
sonal worth, courage and patriotism deserve.
HoW, nay friends, on behalf of our common
country, on behalf of our noble Common
wealth, and on behalf of the loyal citizens Of
hoenSburg, | welcome you to your homes,
your families and friends, and may that God
"uo shielded and protected you in battle
preserve and prosper you through life.
