WELCOME HOME.

The night of war has ended now,
The day breaks bright and clear,
And friendly greetings come to us
From nations far and near;
Our noble country's valient men
Have happy days in store;
And proud wives wait with with happy heart
To meet them at the door.
Oh, smile, fond mother, on thy child,
And press its cheek to thine,
For soon around his fathers neck
Those little arms shall twine.
"He's coming home, he's coming home,"
You whisper night and day;
And, oh, pray no blighting news
May steal this hope away.
God speed the feet now marching back
To homes ofpeace and love;
God bless the cripples limping by
With blue coats stained with blood.
I'D rathcr grasp those hard brown hands,
And feel them clasp my own,
Than touch the royal palm Of him
Who sits upon throne.
Deep grief we feel for missing ones,
Long absent from our side;
For thousands ofour martyred friends,
Who fought. and bled, and died.
But with kind words and loving hearts
Lets greet all qack that come,
And give the soldiers far and near
A hearty welcome home.

On Sunday, March 18th, Major John
ID. Russell, of the 54th regiment Ken
lucky mounted volunteers, with detach-
ments from three companies of the same
regiment, one hundred and twenty men
in all, left Newcastle in pursuit Of a
gang of outlaws operating in Trimble,
Oldham, Franklin, and Owen counties
The scout arrived at Carrollton on Sun
day night. AT an early hour on Mon
day morning the force was divided into
two squads, Captain Buckley taking
command Of one detachment, and pro-
ceeded in the direction of Port Royal
and Lockport He crossed the Ken
lucky River at Parks's Ferry, and ar
rived at Monterey that night He en-
camped there for q few hours, and, at
two o'clock the following morning, his
men were again in the saddle and ad.
vancing toward Harmony. On the
Owington road, fifteen miles beyond the
aforementioned place, at q spot known
as Sulbridge's Branch, the Captain over
hauled gang Of guerrillas, and brisk
little skirmish ensued, which resulted in
complete victory for u.s. Three of the
outlaws were killed and three MORALLY
wounded. Their names are Colonel
Davies, Captain Marion Corbin, John
Harrington, and one johnson. The
names Of the other two could not be
ascertained. Davies died instantly.
Corbin received a wound through The
chest, and. had both legs fractured. He
survived but a short time A recruiting
commission bearing the signature OF
General John G, Breckinadge was
found on the body of Davies.
None of our men were hurt except
Capt Buckley, who received CHANGING
shot, grazing one of his fingers and in
| ficting but q slight wound. On his re-
turn Capt. Buckley fell in with Colonel
jesse at the head of twenty men, near
Bethlehem, Henry county. Jesse ake-
daddled, and a lively race commenced.
Soon afterwards, Major Russell with his
men, joined Capt. Buckley and the pur-
suit commenced in earnest Jesse q
gang was finely mounted, and our men
were unable to come up with the bsnd.
The pursuit was kept up for ten hours,
and sixty miles of ground travelled over
in this time. Bucklsy's horses were en-
hausted by the long ride, but fortunately
Capt Easley, with twenty-five men fresh
| ly mounted, joined in the chase. Jesse
was oVertaken at Van Dykes mill in
Spencer county, where a slight skirmish
took place. The guerrillas were routed,
and Horseshoe Bartlett, who formerly
belonged to the 54th Kentucky regiment,
was captured He deserted his com
nand in October last and Joined Jesse.
Bartlett viii be tried before a military
commission in this city. Capt. Buckley
is taking measures to expel the outlaws
now infesting Henry and the adjoining
counties. - Louisville Journal
