THE RETURN.

From the so.h day Of May last, when the
eistandipg of our armies commtnccd, up to
azd inclRding July 18th, there had pissed
ovtr the Baltimore md Ohio Railroad alone;
on lhelr way home, 2os, ,oH men. There
were also discharged and transported over
this 1oute, during the same period, II ,Sl3
horses and G.9so mule5. It Is fortunate
doubtless ttat this vast amount of labor is
thrown upon the market at the season when
It Is most needed, rs some suffering might
have arisen had SO great q change occurred
during the winter. Nevertheless 1t Is not
little remarkable that In addition to our
foreign immigration. at the rate OF one
thousand per diem, quarter Of a million OF
men can thus quietly return to their homes,
within si1 weeks, without creating more
than ripple In tie channels OF naaousl
Industry. The predictions Of reign Of
terror, riot and crime, in consequence Of the
dtsbandment Of 80 large an army of men, are
substantially belled by their general conduct,
and while the past si1 months have undoubt-
edl5 been fruitful in crimes, az they have in
ctsaEters and accidents, yet In comparatively
few cases have these been rraceaole to
returned soldiers. In fact. very much OF the
pub1ltity given to these crimes, and the inter-
est telt In them, is owing to the fact that the
columns OF the press are no longer absorbed
by the stirring everts Of war, and hence
Lesser sensations rise to the surface, which
before weuld have rested in obs:urity.
Whether theEe facts explain In all respects,

may congratulate ourselves upon the fact
