poi of experience, and a brave heroic
man.

attesting' their -tievo4n to the old 7 flag on
many'a bloody battle -field, they now re
turn to us only fifteen hundred in number.
All the stores in the city were closed,
and tags, flowers, and patriotic emblems
festooned the route over which the pro
eesFiox,t passed.
Before marching, the Reserves partook
of a aviation prepared for them at the
Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, after they
had refreshed themselves the procession
moved in the following order :
Chief marshal War. IL KEPNER and Aids.
Band of Music.
Military escort, Captain BATE's Battery,
First New York Artillery.
Pennsylvania" Reserve Corps
As this part of the ppoessiou passed
prominent places cheer after cheer would
ascend from the assembled crowds. Bo
(pets and flower4werp'showered upon the
Reserves. The old battle flags, riddled
with bullet holes, were the especial ob
jects of enthusiam. Many wounded vet
erans of the corps followed in carriages.
During the whole time taken up in the
marching of the procession, a salute of
guns was being fired from Capitol Hill ;
the bells of the city continued to ring, and
the different furnace and factory signals
sent up one continued din and roar.
Reaching the main edifice at Capitol
Hill, the whole Corps was massed in front
of the Capitol portico, and Mayor Roum-
FORT mounted the stand improvised for
the occasion, addressed the Reserves as
follows :
!'Hail brave soldiers of Pennsylvania.
In the name of the citizens of Harrisburg,
I greet you with hearty, most hearty wel
come to the Capital of your State. Dur
ing the last three years, by flood awl by
field, in the valleys and upon the moun
tAin tops, you have, like gallant and noble
soldiers, bravely fought, bled and died
for our common country, carrying the old
flag from victory to victory. You have
been on every battle-field, and in the ex
treme front of every battle and grand con
test east of the Allegheny Mountains ; and
immortalized yourselves, winning laurels
of renown unsurpassed. (Cheers.)
0? twenty thousand men who marched
into the field an unbroken front three

Ar
panions, whom you have left behind you
in Southern graves, who have fallen in
defence of our country's liberties, receive
that crown of immortality which has be
come their heritage,as bequeathed to glory
and to fame. And not only the fallen of
the bravo ones, whose_ untimely end we
so deeply deplore, but at your feet, brave
soldiers-iWartns, cast we our garlands of
flowers. Never shall your deeds be for
gotten. (Cheers.)
The Mayor was most heartily cheered
by the troops. After something like si
lence could be induced, Governor Curtin
steped upon the platform.
The Governor spoke suhsequentlly :as
follows :
I thank you, Mr. Mayor of Harris
burg, and you the people of this city, for
this your hearty welcome to these brave
men. Jt has been through you, brave
soldiers, that the hearts of these people
have been stirred. Your presence here
again, my fellow citizens (the Reserves,)
has stirred up emotions in our hearts,
deep and glorious as our feelings are to
day, that we will never forget. I cannot
find language to adequately express to
you the sentiments and feeling of Penn
sylvania, and when I say as we all say,
"You have done your whole duty," (im
mense cheering) I but faintly convey
to you the universal verdict of the whole
people of this commonirealth. It is now
nearly three years since you left this city
a mighty army. Nearly that period of
time has elapsed since I had the" honor
of handing to you these standards which
you are about to return to the State, un
stained with dishounr . and covered with
laurels of brightest martial renown,
(Cheers from the Corps). You have
never set foot upon the soil of your homes
since then, save once. Ouco you came
back to Pennsylvania, and then we all
heard of your deeds,- that spoke in thun
der tones with yoar cheers. "Round
Top" at Gettysburg will ever live as a
watch-word of glory and victory. (Tre
mendous cheering in the Corps.) When
nearly all the rest gave way before the
bayonets of the enemy, wo heard your
shouts around the hills on that devoted
country, in the face of the enemy, and to
you belongs the honor of driving bite from
our soil. (Great cheering.) -
I would speak of your gallant deeds,
but they have passed into history.' I
have not time to-enumerate the battles
you have been in. History will record
all you have done for your country.
The record of the Pennsylvania Re
serve corps is without blemish and spot
less (Cheers.) I am not qualified to speak
of the heroic dud yeti have left upon
nearly every battle field of the Republic.
Upon their graves centres the gratitude
of thi.great But I welonne yon,
who have returned with sunburnt faces
and tattered flagsto your homes. - From
the .1 , 40 y -9 4 1,1 the South, -and the ' East
and' the West the voice of s welcome is
wafted, you froxstbe old keystone
State ( Prolonged cheering.) -
- -.We did not know three years ago that
you would-remain so , loag in the public
service. But I , can say that I refer with
pride and pleasure to the part this great
State has borne in this contest, from the
battle of Ifr4inesville, where yon were
the first to
. strike, until last Monday,
where you struck your heaviest blow 'at
Bethesda-Church. (Immense cheering)
May you all find a happy welcome at your
homes ! May you all be marked as brave
men who served their country in times
of great peril. May you never regret
that you belonged to the Pennsylvania
Reserve - Corps and were in every battle
of the Republic ! With this welcome I
bid you fare Well.
At the close of the Governor's speech
loud cheers were given for Grant, Meade
and all the Generals of the Army of the
Potomac.
Col. J. W. Fisher, in behalf of the
corps, responded briefly, as follows. .
Mr. Mayor, Governor and citizens of
Harrisburg—ln the name of the rem
nant of what was once a mighty division
I thank you for the reception foil have
given us here to-day The pepple of
Harrisburg, represented by their Mayor,
have overwhelmed us with their kindness.
In reply tq these kind expressions, the
only response I have to make is the
speech familiar to the Pennsylvania Re
serves. So, my gallant . boys, let us have
three cheers, and let them be such
thundering cheers as yon gave at Bethes
da Church before we left the army.
And in response the whole corps join
ed in three cheers, that made the old
State House_ tremble from dome to foun
dation.
After a few remarks from Col. McCan
dless and Col. R. Biddle Roberts, the
Corps marched to Camp Curtin and the
various organizations and civic societies
in attendance dispersed.

DEA.u. SPY :--Perhaps your many rea
ders would enjoy a few words about the
Union National Convention which as
sembled at this place on yesterday, the
ith inst., if so I shall endeavor to accom
modate your desires by a short sketch.
The Union National Convention for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States, assembled at the Front
St. Theatre, corner of Front and Low
St., at noon on yesterday. Previous to
the opening of the doors at 11 o'clock,
the decorations of the house, and the ar
rangements for the accommodation of the
ConYention was all perfected. The spa
cious building was most beautifully decor
ated with the national emblem, our proud,
but blood-stained banner. The City
council committees for the decoration of
the edifice were invaluably assisted in their
labors by his Honor, Ex-Governor Mor
i i gan, of Now York, chairman of the Na
r tional Executive committee, who !asunt
ea, during the forenoon, entire control of
affairs inside the building. Whilst the
immense audience were being seated, the
excellent band of the ,Second United
States Artillery, from Fort McHenry,
under the direction of Prof. Smith, dis
coursed many delightful airs.
The building was literally jammed,
not the "ghost of a seat"—not even
scantling one. Hundreds were forced by
the crowd to return to their homes, with
out the pleasure of admittance to that
august assemblage. Major General Lew
Wallace, our Department commander,
with several of his staff accompanied by
their ladies, was present and occupied a
private box. •
The convention was called to order, a
few minutes past 12 : o'clock, by Ex Gor.
ernor Edward D. Morgan, of New York.
And in doing so ho remarked : "It is
now a little more than eight years since
it was first resolved to form a national
party, to be condupted upon the princi
ples and policy which had been establish
ed and mantained by George Washing
ton and Thomas Jefferson 1-11 e made
quite a speech—and was loudly applaud
ed by the vast assemblage. I would be
pleased' to report it entire ; but 'pace
will not allow inclination to do so.—
Suffice it to say he concluded by propos
ing, on behalf of the National Executive
committee,•Dr. • Robert J. Breskinridge
of Kentucky as .temporary President.. 7 l
' (Dr. Braeltinridge is an uncle of the no.

ernortandall of Wisconsin and Ex-Gov r
error Icing of• New York, to conduct the
President protein. to the chair. •
your readers,.frieud ",§'py,•" will have
ample opportunity of reading the speech
es through the columns of the ,different
JOurnels of our, country purpose
is simply to sketch the convention—not
to report speeches—as, I have not- the
room allowed me to do so.
The temporary appointment of secre
taries M. C. Briggs of Cal. and R. •H.
Buell, of N. Y. were made on motion,"
when they assumed the duties assigned
them. After the conclusion of a feeling
and impressive prayer by:Rev. McKen
dree ltily of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the band gave us the air of
"Hail Columbia"—in fine spirit -and
The committees on credentials—the
Platform—and Permanent organization—
were appointed—after which the conven
tion adjourned to meet at seven and a
half o'clock P. M.—
The Convention reassembled at half
past seven precisely, and was called to
order by Dr. Breckenridge the President
pro tent. The chairman of the Commit
tee of permanent organization—present
ed the following report :
For President—Hon. Wm. Denison,
of Ohio.
For Vice Presidents—Nathan A. Far
well of Maine; Onslow Stearns of New
Hampshire; Henry Stone:all, of Ver
mont—and others.
For Secretaries—Nathan Morrell, of
Mo.; Edward Spalding, of New Hamp
shire; Horace Fairbanks, of Vermont,
and others, which was - accepted; and
the nominations were confirmed by ac
clamation. The chair appointed Hon.
Messrs. Lane, of Indiana, and Grow, of
Pennsylvania, to conduct the President
elect to his seat.
At a late hour last evening the com
mittee on Credengals and Resolutions re
ported being engaged on the duties as
signed them but not ready to report.—
After a few remarks the Convention ad
journed until 10 o'clock this morning.
The :delegates from South Carolina
have been excluded from the Convention,
while those from parts of Seceded States
were allowed to vote.
I will give a further report in my next,
until then, may I bid adieu to the Con
ve u tion- matters.
William Loyd_Garrison was observed
in the upper tier, and loudly called upon
to speak, bu he declined positively. It
will be retne ered ,that this gentleman
.fan--a ° :l' iialtilart3, — nialfy years
ago ; but was ,imprisoned for being an
abolitionist—and has never been seen
since until last night—when he was re
cognized in the Convention. It has been
nearly 18 years since Mr. Garrison was
imprisoned.—How pleasant it is to see
the martyr's return again—to be welcomed
by the very Court that sentenced him to
imprisonment. '4The world moves."

DONALDSON VILLE, LA., Maylo, '64.
MR. EDITOR.-I was much pleased to
receive from the Naval Mail Boat, last
night, a copy of the Spy, post-marked
Columbia, Pa., which I knew contained
news from home, now two thousand miles
away. I forgot for the time being, that
I was on one of "Linkum's Gunboats,"
rocking on the yellow bosom of the "Fath
er of Waters." It is a gratification to us
soldiers to hear from home, either by let
ter or papers, and as we peruse them we
forget our hardships, and only think of
the loved ones at home, and wonder if we
are missed. A welcome messenger is the
well conducted Spy—long may it live to
gladen the hearts of its many readers.
It is not *arras dba-n bore, but hot, most
duced hot at that, and although I am in
good health, the"‘"Sunny South" is play
ing hob with my- pltiz,. for I would now
pass for a tolerable mulatto. What I will
look like in Atigust and September, Ido
;
not know.
I wish you could see the real southern
darkey—they aro a great study in them
selves, with their queer notions of life—
their religion and superstition. I have
seen a great deal of southern slave life.
Though free in name, the great mass are
vet almost the same they were four or five
years ago—and, I am sorry to say, that
on the numerous government plantations
hero, they are bound down by rules and
regulations, even more harsh and enslav
ing than the rules of their original mas
ter. They work, and work hard, for $8
a month and rations, with two suits of
clothing a year. They. cannot go from
one plantation to another without a writ
ten pass, &c. But, notwithstanding, the
most of them soem happy, and a well reg
ulated and well kept set of darkey quar
ters on a Sunday evening, is a eight worth
going far to see. Thereyou can see them
all tricked out in' their "best bib and tack
er," and at one end of the little village
(for there are generally not less than 40
or 50 eabiner,) you will see them dancing
and 'capering about; - tci.the . martsie of some :
venerable' old darkeY,"wbols perched rip'
„ ,
on n barrel, - .saiving cat-gut for dear life,
while*7th9ii4thei end is I.4iOsb:•lS noisy
ndd. )ouhing a part as other,
though asieinbled fora.different purpose;
that of worship. But you have seen negro
meetings in the - North, so I need not de
scribe it.
Go into the quarters on a work day,
when the able-bodied are out at the cane
or, cotton, and you will sea thii "snpernu
tneries" of a plantation. The white-headed.
Patriarch who has Tided so long that he
has "forgotten when he was born," as he
informs you. Then there are all the lit
tle "pickininnies," looking like immense
india-rubber dolls—innocent of all cloth
ing, or perhaps a:little blue homespun
apron, just reaching to their knees.
A real Southern darkey, and especi
ally these Freneh ones here, are very
polite—nearly all politely salute you as
you pass, and even when they go into a
store they will take off their hats and
keep them off till outside. ,But enough
of the darkey.
We are still laying in harbor, and oc
casionally have a "brush" with guerillas,
but soon settle them with our talking par
rots, which reminds them they must keep
their distance. The news from the army
of the Potomac are glorious, and thrills
our young patriotic hearts with joy.
"We will fight it out if it takes us all
summer."—GßANT. That's the talk—
and we will help him, and have the rebels
learn that we have but one flag, one Gov
ernment, and one Constitution. Hoping
to bear from you soon, and receive a Spy,
I remain yJurs on the rolling. waters,
Written for the Columbia Spy
Welcome Home Brave Reserves !
They're corning, go ring the bells loudly
Hoist every flag and let it wave proudly !
Kindle your bonfires and beat every drum
And shout a glad welcome as homeward
they come
To the gallant Reserves !
Well have they fought on numya fiehlgory
Crowning their Country with prole ess and
glory
Turning the tide of ninny a hard battle,
With thundering cannon and musketry
rattle,
Though few are their numbers their fame
is untold,
So valiant in battle, so active, so bold ;
So fearless to dare and determined to win,
Their hearts never failed 'mid the terrible
din
But words are too meagre their deeds to
portray,
Let poetry weave them in beauteous lay,
And paint with fond fancy each chivalric
feat
And chant for the fallen a requiem sweet
For the patriot Reserves !
Yes, patriots, go raise them a monument
grand
Inscribed with thenamesof the patriot band.
To bluir , in remembrance each ti alorems deed
The names of brave Fisher, and Crawford
and Mende,
And ALL the RCSOrt,CS
And, maidens, go twine for the living a
wreath
And bid them each weapon to place in its
sheath
And taste the fond bliss of "sweet home"
and its joys
With their wives and their sweet-hearts,
their daughters and boys ;
Those noble Reserves !
Yes welcome, thrice welcome, yo patriot
band
Ye've stood as a bulwark to Freedom's fair
land,
May a halo of glory encircle each head
And the wings of Omnipotence o'er you be
spread.
God bless ye, Reserves !

A cure for the whooping cough is an

An editor down East states that he has

Theis Bonds are issued iiralet: the Act of
Congress of March 8th,1884. which provides
that all Bonds issued under this Act shall
be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or
under any state or municipal Cuthority;—
Subscriptions to these Bonds are reoeived
in United States notes or notes of National
Banks. They are TO BE• REDEEMED

Subscribers to this loan will havi3the
tion of having their Bonds draw interest
from March Ist, by paying the accrued in-.
terest in•coin--(or in United States notes,
or the notes of National Banks, addingfifty
per cent. for premium,) or receive them
drawing interest from the late of subserip-•-
tion and deposit. As these' Bonds are
5000
Exempt from Municipal or Slate Taxation,'
their value is increased from ono to three
per cent, per annum, according to the rate
of tax levies in various parts of the country.
At the preient rate of premium on gold
they pay
Over Eight Per Cent Interst
in currency, and are of equal convenience
as a permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so
great inducements to lenders asthe various
descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties or stock companies I
separate communities only is pledged
payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the conntry ‘
is holden to secure the payment of both ,
principal and interest in coin. •
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $5O up to any magnitude, on the
same terms, and are thus made equally
available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment, andthe holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this cornice
tion that the total Funded Debt of the Uni
ted States on which interest is payable in
gold, on the 3d day of March, 1814, was
$7 68 , 907 0 00 . The interest on this debt for
the coming fiscal year will be M 937,120,
while the customs revenue in gold for the
current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1i164,
has been so far at the rate of over $lOO,OOO,
000 per annum.
It will be seen that even thepresent gold
revenues of the Government are largely in
excess of the wants of the Treasurer forthe
payment of gold interest, while the recent
increase of the tariff will doubtless raise
the annual receipts front -eustoms on the
same amount of importations, t 05150,000,000
per annum.
