The Armies.

=
On Saturday last the Second and Fifth Corps
of the army of the Potomac, under the command
ofMaj. Gen. Meade, marched through Richmond
on their way home and were Immediately fol-
lowed by the advance of Gen. Sherman's army.
The gallant troops had fine opportunity for
seeing the prison dens in which many of them
were at various times confined, as we'll as other
portions of the city for whose capture they fought
so hard. ''- '.-is li+ ayts t+4
The Richmond papers describe the display as
very fine indeed. Each Brigade was preceded
by Band playing the National airs, the torn
and battlestained banners ofthe old Regiments
fluttered in the breeze while the steps of the
hronzed veterans were quick and their hearts
light with the realization that their tolls were
over, the nation once more at Peace, and speedy
return to the loved ones at home in view of each
one. IF rs 5sarg .s.s .gtl3..vsr rfia i. sli.s 81,
God bless the old army of the Potomac
The entire army will concentrate at Washing
ton, where grand review will be held by the
Lieut. General and the President and then the
men will be mustered out, ~ y 80 ai49
1t has been decided by the President and Cab
met to retain for the present an army of about
10000 men, large portion of which will be
colored troops. Nss iad 8e5Il3 aeau 'ts,.e
The disbanded Rebel soldiers are struggling
homeward in squads, and committing shameful
depredations on the people throughout the South
ern States. Gen. Lee, remains quietly at Rich
mond. Loose bands of guerillas continue to
come into our lines at various places, and the
country will be soon thoroughly rid of them.--
Orders have been issued by commanding Gener-
ais, that all persons found in arms against the
authority Of the U. s. will be treated as robbers
and outlaws, and, if caught, be punished accor
dinghy. Every thing moves prosperously at
Richmond. Business is reviving, the railroads
are being rapidly putin order, water commune
cation has been resumed with Baltimore and other
Northern Ports, and the prospect is that the cap
tured city will enter on season Of great pros
perity. H''

HEAVY SroRM--On Monday afternoon last,
this section was visited by one of the severest
storms of rain and hail, accompanied. by vivid
lightning and deafening peals Of thunder, that
we have ever witnessed. The crops were not
sufficiently advanced to be injured by the Hail,
but We hear that some of the corn and oats fields
were badly washed, The Roads also suffered
considerably in places. We learn that in the
neighborhood of Randallstown there was no Hail
atall, and as far down as Washington city, there
was not drop of rain.
