Going Eome.


1lark! the joy bells are ringing ont mcrri-
ly; gay crowds line the streets, and loud hur-
rahs are heard on every side: Philadelphia
pauses a moment in the eager pursuit of busi-
ness or pleasure, to look, ON Il specta-
Gle OF every day recurrence now-our heroes
coming home With gay flags and glittering
weapons they narcotic the roll of the stirring
drum; some rejoicing that they have now
reached their journeys end: others must
keep marching on; their homes are still in the
far distance. But the halo Of victory shines
over all. and success, that mighty magician.
whose transformations are marvellous AS those
of any fairy tale--bids the eager multitude
assemble to greet the triumphant soldiers.
Buthere is another scene almcst rs FREQUENT
" witnessed, yet attracting little notice.
What means all this long, silent procession
moving rapidly down the street with the air
OF veteran troops, though no military para
phernalia gathers round them gaping crowds I?
All! the old grey uniform tells the story
these are the paroled Confederate soldiers
going home. Only rebels" ScOwl fercely,
as you brush past Them loyal citizen-sneer
as you sweep daintily by. patriotic laly-they
are "only defeated rcbelsw Yet there are
eyes that rest with no unfriendly glance ON
those rebels. There are hearts, TRUE North
ern hearts that throb with mournful pride,
remembering the matchless heroism, the pa
tient endurance, the indomitablc resolution
of the gallant few" who with the spirit of
true Americans, dared all in the cause of
home and freedom..' .A'a 81
No Haunting banners DER them wave. .'H
No arms flash back the suns bright ray,
No shouting crowds around them throng,
No music cheers their onward way;
They're going home! BY adverse fate
Compelled their trusty swords to sheathe;
True soldiers they, even though disarmed-
Heroes, though robbed of victory's wreath.
Brave Southerners! with sorrowing hearts
We gaze upon them through our tears,
And sadly feel how vain wereail d l
Their heroic deeds through weary years;
\ ct mid their enemies they move f.. dr.
With firm. bold step ard Gluntless mien.
Oh, Liberty in every age mu
Such have thy chosen champions been.
Going home alas, to them the words
Bring visions fraught with gloom and woe.
Since last they saw those cherished homes,
The legions of tn invading foe .#
Have swept, like the simeon along,
Spreading destruction, far and wide,
"They found a garden, but they left
A bowling wilderness behind"
All! in those desolatcd homes
To which the fate of war has come,'
Sad is the welcome, poor the feast,
That wait the soldiers coming home.
Yet loving ones will round him thrOng,
With smiles more tender if less gay,
And joy will brighten pald cheeks
At sight of the dear boys IN grey. ... .,
Aye! give them welcome home, fair. South
For you they've made deathless name!
Bright through after time will glow
The glorious record of their fame.
They made a nation! What though soon
Its radiant sun has seemed to set!
The past has shown what they can do,
The future holds bright promise yet.

For LIFE.-In the Circuit Court yester-
day the jury. returned a, verdict, in the
case Of James NJ. Hudson, for the murder
of Joseph Pierce, on or about the 9TH day
of September, 1868, sentencing him, to the
penitentiary for life. Hudson was a step
son of Pierce, and it seems that the trou-
BILE had grown out of the unpleasant rela-
tions that existed between Pierce and his
wife, the criminals mother. 1t was. one
of those singular cases, few of which oc-
cur. Although there were two witnesses
quite near the spot, the murder seemed to
have been committed at time when nei-
gther of the witnesses we're looking at the
combatantss but both testified to having
seen Pierce fall. The case was ably argued
on the side of the prosecution by Major
Robinson, and the accused was ably de-
Tended by Col. DENLY. No other business
of Importance was transacted. $40
