Baltimore County Soldiers.

From the beginning Of the war Baltimore
county has been sending of her best and bravest
mon into the army. Companies, detatchments
and individuals have gone off from time to
time, until they number in the aggregate, more
than an entire regiment. Every regiment from
this State bears On its rolls the names of some
Baltimore county men, and almost every bat
,tle-feld from Gettysburg to New Orleans is en-
riched with Baltimore county blood. Whether
officer or private, no man may speak scornful-
ly of the valor of the soldiers from this county.
And now the fragment that is left of them is
coming home. Their work is done.

No more in hospital to pine,
No more to long for words from home
To cheer the weary prison gloom. = e
No more to rush to deadly strife,w 9sal
No more to peril limb and life, a.
For Peace at last, sweet Peace is found,
And they who sought her, honeward bound. .
. What do we owe these men for the service
they have performed The glory of their
achievements'wiH ever be crown of honor to
eachsurviyor. But it was through their brave
Fy that weiremalned safe at our homes. They
stood between us and the shock of battle as a
living wall of fire, and it is due to their patri-
otic valor that the people of the county give
them some public recognition of the services
they have rendered. Elsewhere people are
yieng With each other in giving receptions and d
public welcomes to the returned heroes, and
Baltimore county should not be behind in this
landable workdW avon boo vac 5g69d
We would suggest that on the coming 4th of
July, public reception be- given to all the
Balamore county soldiers, at Towsontown, with
dinner, band Of music, speeches Of welcome,

the great National Holiday than this? VIII

A, Returned Rebel.

ri Last Monday afternoon, while in the peaceful
pursuit Of our calling, we CHANGED to cast our
eyes toward the door and there stood DIR. j. na-
Wis Thompson, who formerly practiced medicine
in Towsontown, but more recently sought a
more congenial field for the operation of his pills
and purgatives in the army of the late Rebellion.
There was no smile of welcome for the returned
Traitor in the t'Union ofices and he soon left
US for the more congenial atmosphere next door.
The DR.. passed for gentleman when we knew
him BEFORE and had he remained faithful to his
country, he might have lived and died as such.
But considering his recent course, it was great
piece Ofimpudence in him to stand in our door
way. Had the weather not been too warm to
touch Rebel even witha pitch1fork he night
not have stood there as long as he did. ,''sl"o-
We don't want any calls from the Dr.. or Z
of his ilk.l We try TO treat all who come to SEE
US, with due respect; but we will not be respon-
sible for our conduct toward such visitors. We
might be tempted to use them for copy and set
them up in the boot business I; or they might
suddenly End themselves badly pied at the foot
of the stairway, with deeper impression of the
hatefulness of Treason than they ever had before.
iButlas the dainty Drs. mixtures and decoc-
lions all went down Rebel threats, their cause
probably suffered more from his Treason than
the Union cause did and as we presume he will
not resume his practice in this neighborhood,
we leave him, with all the stencil Of treason
clipging to his garments and corrupting the air
in which he moves. wv agro te ~srl f9a!

man who joined the Rebels in extending a hearty
welcome to the returned hero, is one of that kind
who never carried gun, and always got an at
