Returning to their homes, they chose Saturday evening as the time, to avoid any manifestations on the part of their friends, but the intention of returning thus quietly was frusterated by one of the most flattering receptions. The car had scarce ly reached the dopot, and the announce ment been made that tho party had arrived, than they wero surrounded by friends who made the welkin ring with enthusiastic cheers. In a very few mom ents the crowd, which was small at first, swelled to hundreds; a procession was formed which escorted the exiles to their' homes. Bnlli sides of Market street were lined with ladies and gentleman, and the men who went nut nf the nitv uritlpr nn escort of soldiers, returned amid tie plaudits of the men, and the waiving of i handkerchiefs by the ladies. Arriving at the house of Col. Ma J I Dowell. the crowd which must now have numbered nearly a thousand men, called loudly for that gentleman, when he mounted the slops and addressed them as follows, being lrequontly interrupted by the most vociferous cheering : Fiiends and Fellow-citizens: On the 0th day of August, titan hour's notice, we wero marched from this city under an es cort of gleaming bayonets to the Railroad Depot, and from thence taken at Washin ton city, where wo were imprisoned, without a hearing, for sixteen days, for what reason I will not now state, as you all know it. Through the intercession of friends, and our own exertions, we secured a hearing last evening at Oo'clock, when, strange to say, we were confronted by no accuser, nor was there even a charge made against us. The pretext upon which wo were arrested was most summarily disposed of, and an honorable discharge given us. Applause. Although mortifying as it was to leave home as we did, and unjust as the whole arrest was, this spontaneous welcome more then compensates for all we endur ed, or the indignities we suffered Ap plause. I his is the proudest hour of my life. It proves that we have the endorsement of onr fellow-citizens. Cheers and applause. It shows that they have a strong appreciation of con stitutional liberty, and are opposed to crushing out the freedom of speech or muzzling tho press. Destroy these in alienable rights, and the word liberty be becomes a hollow mockery a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, a rope of sand, a delusion and a lie. Prolonged applause and cheering. Wo do not know how our arrest orig inalcd, because no accuser had the tern ertiy to face us. Wo claim to bo loyal and law-abiding citizens, and there is nothing upon the record to prove to the contrary, We havo our own opinions, . and ihcsc not conflicting with laws in cx- j istence, we will maintain at all hazards 1 and on all occasions, regardless of the uonunciations oi cowardly traduccrs who stand behind the screen.
