OF OUR VOLUNTEERS
3 GRAND G.fIL.R DAY.
HONOR TO THE BRAVE
Yesterday (Friday) was a glorious day for the
people of this County! Agreeably to arrange
meats previously made, it had beau appointed fur
the reception of the corps of Volunteers (rein this
place, under the columned of Captain Nagle, ou
their return from Mexico.-
This Company reached Philadelphia on Tues
day morning last, together with aeVeral others of
the First -Pennsylvania Regiment, and in cense
(pence of sumo delay in receivingtheir discharge,
they did not reach this place as soon as was an
ticipated. - Information, however, was received
here on Thursday evening, that they would pos
itively sot out from Philadelphia on Friday, and
the fact was accordingly pdblished to the people
of the surrounding neighborhood, who, it was
known, desired to riarticipute on the joyous oc-
CM=
The weather, early on Friday morning, was
extremely cloudy, and fears were very general
that:it would turn out unfavorabie. - •
At Ff.:o'clock the weather was still suspicious.
Sot the ice-cream mon, and the men with or
anges and lemonade; took " up their respective
positions," and 'Coolly arranged their stands.
At 9 o'clock, people had no hesitation in taking
O "horn" in anticipation of good weather. In
fact, the clouds began to retreat. Carriages be.
to come in—Flags were flying, and here
we may observe that • 'cords" have been in ide
mand=at a rough estimate, we should judge that
at least five miles of the article`wore brought
into ass. Flue times for rope-makers.
10 o'cliack—Skies bright! "The cry is still
they come !" Soldiers are dressed up in fine
style, and are seen here and there among the
crowds.. All the streets; especially the great
thoroughfare, Centre Street, are thronged with
people. The fronts of the hotels and many pri
vate dwellings, are full of ladies.
11 o'clock—The Sun has taken tils liberty.to
make a nhobserwatiOn.". lie begins to took
(lowa, and kimi'ci smile. The boys are busy at
the cake stands—bands of music marching. up and
dawn street—Marshalls riding about briskTY7-
eornethiitg coming.
12 o'clock—All at mice Mount Carbon seems
surpiiziu7,ly attractive. Every one is bound for
Mount Carbon.' The tide of emigration is swell
,lng Ei,gb—tbousands aro for Mount Carbotn.
l 2 o'clock—The Mount Carbon Hotel is "sur
rounded." From the lower balcony, a large can
vass was suspended across the street, richly fring
ed with evergreens, and bearing in bold letters,
Welcome home. The pillars of the balconies
were decorated with wreaths, flowers, and flags
—and upon each onewe . ..l inscribed in bold let
ters the name of some !cattle in Mexico. The
ecene presented was magnificent, and of course
no one bat a stupid fellow would suppose that
any others than the ladies-of the house, and those
of Mount Carbon, could devise schemes so grand
and execute them so tastefully!
Every avenue of this spl ended Hotel was filled.
The Ladies occupied principally the spacious bal
conies, and thengb. the 'other decorations were
complete. still thie feature was irresistible.
A handsome• Wreath was also suspended from
the house of Mr. Kleinert, to the opposite side of
the street, and there were several other decora
tions, of "individual enterprize," which we are
reluctantly compelled to forego ;—the all-absorb
ing themes now being cheese, wine, and crack'
en, and "are they coming?"
1 o'clock—Ab! The locomotive ,whistles!
They oemer-they come! No—z'ounds! iS is
only the little Witch ! Another pansel 4
heard—soldiers advancing and forming into [ Kai.
tines.
Five missies plat one.—Locomotive 'whistles,
and here they are! An awful silence. 'Ye.,,
—the ears hare arrived—no mistake. All eyes
turned' to the depot Au immense'cruwd of pee-
pie throng the Railroad and the street, and pres:
ently the•" Spartan band" was seen, with their
muskets aloft, slowly isstring from the cars and
making for the road. "There's Wyelcoop."—
"Where?" "Do'ye see him?" "That's
that's him!"
"Boom!", roared the cannon, and tbeire •
body began to get "excited." Messuothomas,
Dickson and Hairy moved fortbeinteresting
trict, and having got into the open space guarded
by the military, they were " vamoozed" out, and
became, Rasta vokns, outsiders. The hilts were
literally covered over with people.. The "old
red. sandstone never before sustained such a
weight of flesh and blood—such anxious, excited
people. •
every thing being arranged, the return•
hag volunteers proceeded towards the Mount
Carbon Houao. enthusiastically and wildly clieced
by .the multitude nt every step.-- They were sur•
:waded by the military, on the right, and civic
bodies °Li the left—and,:arrived - ill front of. the
hotel, they halted. Then went up cheerA. Oh,
well say nothing about them'.. - "There
never vans such cheers before. • •
=We may observe, by the way, that Captain
Nagle and Lieut. Kacrcher are splendid officers.
They are both as modest and unassuming, as
they, are truly brave; 'and is these particulars
they emulate old Rough and Ready.
Hereupon, Robert M. Palmer, Esq. appeared,
and addressed the war-wont veterans as fellowi:

is essentially peaceful. ' No immense standing army ex

but when the alternative is presented of war upon the one

our people, and their love for a government founded by

shall be vindicated, and the necessity arid propriety of
the war sustained. It was a righteous and necessary

conflict, brought about solely by the' aggrewiona Lf a
faithless and perfidious foe.
It is now nearly two years since the people of Potts—
Ville were congregated upon this spot, to wr itness your
departure upon your errand of patriotism Their tears,
sighs and lamentations at parting, mingled with the
hlrb throbbings of every heart for the sneer's' or your
efforts and your return in safety. Every step of your
progress was attended by the earnest watching, of
our people, and when we learned that at Pittsburg,
you, Col. Wynkoop, had been elevated by the free suf
frages of your companions, to the command of the first
Pen rtsylyanla Regiment, every Pottsville heart thrilled
with pride and joy, for we felt assured that the honor
of your native state would not suffer at your bands.
We understood your character, your daimtless spirit,
your truly American heart—and we felt satisfied that
the result of your promotion would redound to your
own honor and the glory pf the Nation. Nor was our
confidence misplaced. We followed: you to Merke—
l(' the glorious siege of Vera Cruz, and the reduction of
the world renowned castle San Juan de Ulloa—to the
stormingof the terrible heights at Cerro Gordo—to La
Hoyato fluamantla—we observed you elvated by the
confidence ofyour goverment to high and iresponsiblo
position., requiring the exercise of every faculty of
mind and heart,and In every situation, and under all
circumstances—on the battle field and at the council
board—you displayed a courage, zeal, skill and aptitude,
which has secured to you the highest praise. I might
refer to other individuals of our gallant company, to
Capt. Nagle, always the gallant soldier, presentet evasy
point where duty called—to Major McMicken, fighting
nobly a. a volanteer at the yery gates of the City, of
Mexico itself, and entering as one of Its chivalrous con

a hero. The history of the campaign In the valley of
Mexico, retarded in our country's archives, will speak
to our posterity in tones louder, and in, term, more eZ

The joyous frativities of this occasion are marred b
he absence of many faces that we bad hoped to hay
seen among You on this
your return. They have fallen
—but they fell as every American might hope to fall—in
their coontry's cause. They need no prouder epitaph!
In the midst of our rejoicings at he return of the il
lustrious living.—mingle the Just tribute of tears and
mourning the the patriotic dead.
Your work Is done. A splendid succession of vlctn-
ties—dire hundred thousand square mitten of territory,
added to the free area of our glorious Union—and a lib
eral, honorable, and we may justly hope, a permanent
peace secured—are the brilliant results of your toile and
labors. that full '•indemnity for the past,and security for
the future," which you had a right to claim. You have
proved to your own persons that the blond of the men
of the Revolutioh and the heroes of the last war, is not
extinct in the veins of their .descendents. You have
Indeed shown yourselves worthy Inns of noble sires !
But, sir, I cannot consent to detain you longer from
the embraces of your eager and expectant friends. In
their behalf, I again bid you a heartfelt .Welcome

To this address, Col. Wynkoop responded as
°Howe:
•
Felten. Citizens:
How can latter this demonstration of welcome, this
heart-gushing welcome of Criends and kindred. itnd
words to express my feelings. Ilere.on my own native
mountains, the warm pressure of friendly hands still
glowing In my own—the public voice rising in one com
mon shout of jay and welcome for me and the gallant,
noble men, of the Washington Artillery. laminar•
cannot paint our joy—oar Gratitude, at this de
monstration of yourcitizent. Fellow citizens: here
are your chlldren—the mountain boys of Schuylkill
county: I have brought them back to you, each full of
the assurance of having done Ins duty. I cannot do
them justice. They return to their mountain homes;
that home owes them a debt of gratitude for having no:
bly fought their country's battles—for having established
and maintained the honor of Schuylkill county.. On the
battle field—in the thick fight, in the midnight bivouac,
through every vicissitude and danger, they have
'thought of this day, and the anticipation has sweetened
their toil and lightened their duties. here they are—
let them tell their own story. Again I repeat, I cannot
do them justice. In their behalf, then, and for my hum
ble self, I sincerely thank you for thlii heartfelt wel
come. May God bless you all.
The speeches having been concluded, and the
presure of the crowd of people; to obtain access
to the brave soldiers,so great and uncontrollable,
they were dismissed for ten minutes, that they
might partake of some refreshments, and inter
chan^e greeting s with their friends. The scene,

reedy to the grand arch, while the military es.
coned their brave guests through the towO.
The roofii of houses were, in many places, fill
ed with people, as the procession moved along.
The side of the hill between Mount Carbon and
Pottsville, contained thousands of persons, and
the windows of houses, doors, balconies, and
pavements were literally jammed up with human
beings. The scene might be compared to those
referred to by the "gentle Cases:" "Knew ye.
not Pompey?" said he to the Romans When they
were celebrating the triumphs of Cresar. "Many
a time and oft, your infants in your arms, have
you climbed to walls and battlements, and there
have sat the livelong day,in patient expectation of
seeing great Pompey pass the streets of Rome.
And when you but saw his chariot appear,did you
not raise an universal shout, that made old Tiber
treeible underneath his banks, to hoar the repli
cation of y oar voices,roade on his concave shores ?
And do you now call out a holliday, and strew
flowers" (here we must slightly alter Shakspeare)
"in their path who come in glorious triumph over
the proud Aztec race? We do!
In Morris' Ndleon; several beautiful arches
were thrown across the street,--the first of these
was at the residence of James H. Downey; the
next at the corner of Centre and Mauch Chunk
streets, and another a short distance above, near
the residence of Samuel B. Fisher. The second
contained a beautiful bouquet in the centre, with
the inscription below, "Honor to the Brave."—
The other was a double arch, uniting in the cen
tre, covered with several splendid bouquets, and
containing a transparency, with the words "Wel
come Home" painted in alternate colors. This
was illuminated in the evening. Besides these
arches, there werei''several other devices, one of
which was a painted Ptreameraasproded over the
street, and bearing the words: "Oier Country's
Defendert—a hearty eieleome home."
The next arch was'at the American Home, and
it was finished in'the best style. was covered
with evergreens, and on both sides of the, street
was a tall pole, covered in like manner. A large
bouquet bung from the arch, inscribed with the
words of Col. Wynkoop, at Vera Cruz, whim or
dered by PiHew,
,to perform a commaud—"l will
take the heights, air; Pennsylvania never flin
ches!" .
From the residence of Mr. Neville and that of
Dr. Chichester, a banner (the first of a series)
was suspended, bearing the words Vera 'Cruz,
and surmounted with the National escutcheon.
From the residence of Mr. Bannan and the
Pennsylvania Hall swung a large American Flag.
From the residence of Mr.fluglies to the opposite
side of the street, another banner was suspended,
bearing the words Cerro Gordo and American
thigs, as aforesaid. The next arch was between
the Pottsville Hotel and the White Horse Hotel.
This arch was an elegant structure. It was fra
med together and painted. .Oh the outside were
the wurds, in blocks of tin, The!Citizen's Tri
bute to the Soldier. , Over the top of the arch
were the words, Welcome Home, which letters
were curiously wrought in frames, to which were
attached any number of small lamps. • In the
evening these lamps were lit up, and the words
then appeared like a flame of fire, and attracted
universal attention, from the real splendor and
novelty of the sight. On the other side of this
arch, also in blocks of tin, were the words, Our
Country Forever. Both sides of the arch teem
ed with stars, &c., and the whole device and fin
ish were neat, tasfeful, and attractive. This ar
was erected by Mr. T. Boyle and Mr. Mar : .
From the Pottsville Hotel and the buildings of
Lippincott & Taylor, ou Mahautnngo Street, a
banner, similar to the two previously noted, was
suspended, having the word Puebla, surmounted
with two American flags.
A banner, similar to the former, was suspend
ed between the last described arch and the arch
extending from the, store of James M. Beatty-,
Esq., to the house opposite. This was made of
frame-work tastefully covered with white and
red muslin, and at both sides of which were sus
pended a large number of lamps, WhiCh were lit
up in the evening.
On Norwegian Street, fronting Centre Street
another banner was hung, bearing the word Sac
HAMENTO,—being of the class before noticed.
The square between Market and Norwegian'
streets was fall of banners and wreaths, The
(rota of the large three story buildings at Coal
street, were 'rendered very attractive by innu
merable flags and wreaths, and from the hall of
the Sons of Temperance at the corner of Market
street, three or four hauliers and insignias of
the Order, were suspended over Centre street.
MrcEpting bad an elegant banner hung over this
complimental to \[
Captain Nagle and , his
men, the particular words of which we have
overlooked. -It was elegantly fringed with
wreaths and flowers.
Mr. Frederick Epting had several beautiful
transparencies fixed in the wiudows of his house.
An the Exchange Hotel, another beartrch
was thrown over the street. This was rttit
with Muslin, and then tastefully covered with
rope• Wreaths. In the centre there was a beau
tiful transparency, bearing the word" Welcome,"
—each letter being embraced in a wreath. Be
low this was a basket woven with wreaths, and
handsomely decorated with flowers.
At the Town Hall, another of the aforemen
tioned banners was suspended over the street,
bearing the word " Perote," &c.
At the hotel of Mr..Betz, an arch was thrown
across the street, covered with eVergreens, and
having the words " Welcome Home."
At the hotel of Mr. Kueer, immediately above,
was another arch, in the•middle of which was
placed a gilt spread eagle. Over the top a large
number of small lamps were arranged, which
were lit up in the evening.
On the corner of Millersville street and Mine
Alley, tin arch was thrown over by Mr. David
Davies
,and others, covered with wreaths and
evergreens, over which was a streamer with the
words, "Welcome hornet.° their native land,—
Gen's. Taylor and Scott, Capt. Nagle and Wash
ington Artillerists."
ht the corner of Market and Centre streets,
another banner appeared, bearing the -words LA
lies A, and a short distance above, on Market st.,
was another, bearing the words 110A.MANTLA.
-From the residence, of !Tome Smith, Esq.,
a green streamer was extended over the street,
with the words, in gilt letters, Pennsylvania ne•
vet finches—being in allusion to the words of
Cot. Wyukoop on the occasion previously refer-
red to.
Above this appeared another banner, with the
word Armco thereon, &ct
At the bead of hlarket•place was erected the
grand arch. This was a large and splendid
structure, and much labor was bestowed upon it.'
It was erected, we believe, principally under the
direction.of the Chief Marshall, Col. Crosland,
and tleticets no discredit upon his taste and judg
ment, which, on all similar occasions, is duly ap
preciated. The upper part of the front was cov
ered with nu imposing painting, upon which was
inscribed all the battles fought in Mexico, with
the chef d'avre in the centre. Below this was
the National Coat of Arms, &c. The structure
was- - covered with canvass. While the proces
sion was moving through town, the people began
to flock around this place in large numbers.
The interior of the arch was occupied by a hun
dred or more children, from five to twelve years
of age, the front part by the committee of ar••
rangemonts, with a position for the orator of the
day. • The military soon approached, amidst the
swell of the music, the waving of banners, and
the enthusiasm of the immense , multitude.—
They drew np to the stand, with the civil
bodies on the opposite side,and between these
the honored guests of the day, with the brave
leader ef T their late Regiment at the head, moved
forward
•
g
The indefatigable architect, Major Burke,
had erected a platform by the aide of the arch,
upon which . hundreds were accommodated with
aears. at the rate of twenty-five cents per bead.
\ After considerable difficulty in getting the re
spective bodies in positions, order was finally re
stored. and the orator of the day, James H.
Campbell, Esq. of this 12toroogh, proceeded with
the duty assigned him. The following is a sketch
of his : remarks,—, eat however cionapletet it may
be, it cannot poreray the eloquence of manner
and spirit which characterised their delivery: •

A email, but immortal army Wes struggling with

Grendef.—.with a:fierce and vindictive enemy, and
one inured to wet: impelled by a high miss of

Of, your fellow Men, you went forth to battle.—
Looking around:upon the gay and animated scene
before me, the moment of your departure looms
upon the memory' in gloomy contrast. Children
coins to their parents with wail end weeping.
Wives, sisters, aid mothers embraced their loved
li
ones in silent •gony, when they I were about
verging to the perils of the deadly Conflict.
'How dark and uncertain was then your futurel
You ware about to follow the banner of the Greet
Republic over telynn vertical and dangerous seas
—thousands of miles from the land of your na- '
tivity, far away 1 from the borders of yotir own
wide spread country, to the scenes of the tri
umphs of CortezHto the land of the almost fa
bulous Montezuma. Under the burning sun of',

civilized and sewage nations. The proud Gee

and the savage Camanches.—a people speaking '
strange tongues; sad fighting in a mintier un
known to civiliisd men. There rode the Ran.
cbero Chief, armed with the deadly Larro.—and
there the fell Gearing', asessin like to strike, end
pirate-like giving no quarter. Nor wiz this all
that was calculated to strike terror into the stout
est heart. Thelangel of Death rode abroad on
the blast, sstiakir.g : pestilence from her' horrid
hair." In the rice of those dangers you boldly
enlisted fur the war, and swore upon the altar of

• yor country toldevote your: lives to her cause,
. ong as oho required - your aid. Bidding adieu
hen to all you held dear, you went forth to
meet the enami. Your country's honor for your
guiding star, wherever it led, you followed, with
' a freemen's hope end e patriot'. devotion.
And, as the best evidence of that devotion, let
the records of the war, filed in the archives of the
country, bear you witness. On the emblazoned
page of history fame, with the wend of truth,
shell point proudly to the names of Vera Crux,
Cerro Go.do, Lal Hofa, Husmantla and Atlizco,
and s series of :brilliant engagements before the
Walls of Mexico, when this generation shall have
passed sway, and the surrounding hills shall have
crumbled to the level of the plains before me. Nor
can the world's'histar2i obese • prouder page than
that on which . all be inscribed the campaigns of
the valley of M sic.) and that of the Rio Grande.
The lonely sentinel in the camp of the Texian

might have had , : reverie of the " lone star revel

' conceived such en idea, is much more than impro

the eagle of Ainerica plumed hie pinions on the
palace of the ancient Aztec kings.
• I would'that time. and your convenience would
allow me to pangs over these several engagements,
and point out some of their many brilliant results.
The official account informs us that at Vera`ertz

Col. Wyuknop briefly, but feelingly responded
to this eloquent address, as follows (and here,

Upon the conclusion, of Cul. IV's. remarks, tho
children before alluded to, sung tho following.
which was written by Col. Crosland, expressly
for the occasion:
When the wet-clood was rising, sweet Peacs:fled away,
Like the sun', golden beams, at the closing or day
And the heart's sunny smile was exchanged far a tear,
As the homestead of hops saw the phantoi appear;
Home, llama, sweet, sweet flame.

Where the Star-Spangled Banner dons proudly and
free,.

Where Glory bath railed the brave Soldier to man),

Home, Home, sweet, a weet home,

They were all dressed in white; with wreaths
around their heads, and roses upon their breasts.
The ceremonies were terminated with the crow
lug of the soldiers with laurel wreaths, by the
children f—a simple and beautiful feature in the
acmrigernente
The vast concourse hereupon dispensed--and
hetween ourself and the stump of candle, we're
de'illish glad they did—we lay down the pen in a

brilliant. What with illuminations, transparen

MR. CLAYTON'S PEEC

This speech moat rank with the ablest effort§ of our
Statesmen In the National councils. It Is a plain. con

of the position assumed by Gen. Taylor,—and after
reading this speech. no one will doubt the wisdom and
patriotism which Induced him to assume it.
We hope every One will read it, and give it undivided
attention. It will be seen that Mr. Clayton was unex
pectedly called oitnn by the opposition, to define his
position,and that the President nfthe Senate attempted
to" put him down,' by a decision or order. But this
movement was promptly overruled by the members of
the Senate, a majority of whom voted to allow Mr.
Clayton the floor.
