Reception orCol. Clark. and the
128 d Regiment.
At an early hoar on Saturday morning,
Attikiliere being thrown froth the windows
-.of-the houses, and eager and expectant
' trovrds began to gather in Fifth, Smithfield
and Liberty streets, to welcome to their
homes, firesides and families the gallant
bes of the 123 d, together with their noble
- cominadder, Col. Clark, and his officers.
- InashoWtime so dense was the crowd.
that it was with difficulty that persons
could pass. The carriages containing the
'Mayors of the two cities, and the Pres
idents of Councils, the fire depart
ment, and the Provost Guard were wailing
at the head of Smithfield street, and also
the- Marshes and Captains of the fire
-, Companies, waiting the arrival of the train
to - form into line. Anxious fathers, moth
era brothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts
children - were all there, ready to welcome'
those-'who-had so willingly sacrificed all
for the welfare of their country.
At half past nine the whistle of the en
gine was heard, and shortly afterward the
train, consisting of eighteen cara,passed
the depot, and came slowly down Liberty
street to the head of Smithfield. As they
stopped, ageneral rush was made for them,
arid-amid the general joy of meeting with
dear ones, the embracing, the anxious in•
- quiry, and the responses, everything like
order_was thrown aside. After some delay
a portion of the troops were formed into
line; and the march commenced. We say
a portion, for there were some whose
anxiety to reach home overcame every
other feeling, and nothing -could restrain
them ; and who could blame them ? That
the majority who remained in ranks could
be kept at all, is the only wonder. The
procession having been formed, moved
off down Smithfield street in the following
order

The procession moved down Smithfield
street to Fifth, west along Fifth to Wood;
down Wood to Fourth; up Fourth to the
Diamond and City Hall. Here a repast
was set out for the soldiers. We entered
the Hall in advance of the troops, and
found six tables set for the soldiers. The
platform at the upper end of the hall was
decorated with stabile of arms, national
fiags t -colors of the regiment, a statue of
Washington, and a banner overhanging
thtivihole, upon which was inscribed the
following:
"Pittsburgh welcomes her country's
defenders."
The soldiers were marched into the hall
, in regimental orders, and took their places
in perfeotorder. While they were eating,
'Young's brass band ascended the platform
,and played the Star Spangled Banner, of
.ter which Dr. Thomas F. Dale, ascended
the platform and in a few brief and appro
priate remarks, in which he - referred to
th4z fiery trials through which they had
passed, he welcomed them to their homes,
Daring the speech some were engaged in
eatin*,.and others crowded up to the stand
and listened with attention to his remarks.
Oar...position in the gallery rendered it im
possible for us to catch his remarks, but
at the- conclusion he was enthusiastically
cheered with twice three and a tiger. The
band:then-played Hail Columbia. Col.
onel Clark, who, surrounded by some
friends, had .been quietly partaking of
some, refreshmeats at the upper end of
the table, now came forward and as
cended the platform. In a command
g .tone he pronounced the v ord
"cerdstr,” and the boys recognizing the
well known tones of their commander in
stantly became quiet. The most breath
less attention was given him. The tall
spirit ,of the word "discipline" was here
made manifest. No person else proba
bly could have commanded the same re
spemful attention, but he was their Colo
nel, he had led them in the midst of car
nage and strife, he was entitled—notwith
standing the circumstances under which
they weraMirronded—to the most respect
ful consideration. The Colonel said that
he thought it but proper to tender a vote
pf thanks to the Subsistence Committee
for the refreshments that had been provi
ded, find the answer was a tremendous
cheer, awl two more with it. Three cheers
were also given for the people of Pitts
burgh.and Allegheny, three cheers for Cot?
Clark, three for Lieut, Col. Dale and three
for Mayor Wylie.
At the request of Col. Clark the compa
nies formed in regimental order, and leav
ing the Hall, marched up Market street to
St. Clair, and across the new iron bridge,
up Federal street to Ohio, and down Ohio
to the'Watt Common, where Gen, Howe,
in an open carriage was waiting to receive
them. It was now about eleven o'clock,
and the military and fire companies having
been formed in proper position, General
Howe addressed them as follows :
SPEECH OF GEN_ HOWE
Gentlemen of the 123ci Regiment of Penn
&Amnia Volunteers :
The grateful duty has been assigned to
me - -of giving utterance to the joyful emo
tions which this day swell the bosoms of
thousands:of your fellow-citizens, assem
bled to greet your return to your families
and your homes. In their name, there
fore, I desire to bid you welcome, and
with them to unite in soda/notions of
thanksgivingto the Great Ruler of Earth
for the signal manifestation of his pro
tecting care, which has everywhere mark
ed your eventful military career.
This regiment has a history peculiar
to itself. But ten short months ago the
moat of you were quietly occupied by your
several professional and business pursuits.
Taught kom the earliest infancy to revere
the glor:ou., nistitutions of free govern
ment, which yon had derived from patriot
fathers, every pulsation of your being was
instinct with patriotism and love of coun
try. You had peen the poblept puncture
Ornbilifilait doviseti by 116 Witdeffi
of mall fiercely assailed by the degenerate
inscendants of far better men—and the
Union of these States, which had ever
eo4erred :upon us Otosperity and
menaced with destruction.
You had each one in his heart of hearts
quietly but firmly resolved, that wheneve,
-the exigency should arise requiring Our
services you would be ready to respond
with an alacrity which should impart an
emphasis to the earnestness of your devo
tion. That exigency was not long delay
ed. The reverses of our army before
Richmond, and the brief but successful
campaign of the rebels in the Valley of
the Shenandoah, menacing at the same
time the soil of Pennsylvania and the na
tional capital itself, told you in language
not-to be mistaken, that the time had ful
ly come—and lo 1 this regiment was born
in a day.
You found your gallant Colonel at the
sacred desk—unused to the pomp and
eitcumstance of martial life ; a meek and
humble Christian, and an eloquent apostle
of the great doctrine of peace s as inculca— I
ted by the teachings of the Saviour of man
kind; but at the same time a firm believer
in the divine authority of rightful consti
tuted government, whose subversion it
was alike the duty of clergy and laity to
resist.
Ignoring the suggestions of a weak am
bition, and inspired by the same patriotic
impulse which animated you,
he proposed
to follow you to the tented field as your
Chaplain and spiritual adviser, if it should
be deemed improper to assign him to the
captaincy of his hundred men, for which
position he had at first been indicated.—
My official relations enabled me to pre
sent his case in person to the Governor,
who promptly intimated his purpose that
he should be your Colonel---an intimation
most happily in entire accordance- with the
wishes of all of you. I have never been
able. however, to divest my mind of the
belief that he was assigned to that partic
ular position by a Higher Power.
Oh this very spot, nir.e months ago, I
witnessed the marshalling of this regiment
for its departure to the seat of war, and
EOM your seried ranks,as one by one they
moved with martial tread, amid the wild
huzzas and acclamation of the multitude.
I stood in thoughtful silence, scarce able
to repress a tear, as I contemplated the
sad necessity which called you forth, and
felt that some were destined never to re
turn. Since then, the vicissitudes and
perils to which you have been exposed in
camp and field, and the heroic constancy
and patience with which you have sustain
ed them all, have becoite a part of your
country's history, and will there remain
enduring memorials to all coming genera.
tions, of your devotion and fidelity to the
cause of constitutional liberty.
Fredericksburg and Chaacellorsville
will henceforth distinguish your Regimen
tal Flag, and commend the noble corps
which bore it on those bloody fields to the
gratitude of posterity. And now, while
standicg here to day to mingle our con •
gratulations for the safe return of the liv
ing, let us not forget the homes made des.
olate by the absence of the martyred dead
you have left behind you. A few there
are who never can return—marshalled, we
would fondly hope, in the army of the Re
deemer in Heaven. And now let me ask
you, in conclusion, if you have ever re
tiected how it has happened that amid all
the perils through which you have passed,
so few have fallen by casualties occuring
on the field of battle ?
No similar number of men subjected to
like exposure, have been so wonderfully
preserved. It did not happen so—God
has been your protector in answer to the
prayers of praying officers, and praying
men, and praying friends at home—and
to Him, the Triune God, alone should be
ascribed unceasing thanks.
At the conclusion of Gen. Howe's speech
Col. Clarke arose. We have neither time
nor space to make more than a very brief
synopsis of his remarks. 'He remarked
that he had no disposition to make a
speech; that the fatigue incident to the
duties of the past few days rendered it
impossible for him to make a speech, but
he could not refrain from expressing, for
his men. as well as for himself, his and
their heartfelt gratitude for the reception
extended to them. It was a convincing
proof that they had not been forgotten
during their sheer c.". It was a matter to
be thankful for that so many had been
permitted to return to their homes, and
the bosom of their families. He denied
that the army of the Potomac had met
with a defeat, and said that he and his
regiment were living witnesses to disprove
any assertion of that kind. He referred
to the report that Gen. Hooker was drunk
during the Sunday engagement, and spoke
of his proximity to the General during
the engagement, and his opportunity of
seeing him every few minutes, and he pro
nounced the statement to be false. He
delivered a short eulogy upon the com
manding General, and said that he believ
ed in the end that this rebellion would be
crashed out. Col. Clark then concluded
his remarks as follows :
Gentlemen of the 123 d Regiment, the
relations sustained by me to you, and by
you to me are now dissolved. The nine
months have gone into eternity; and here
before these witnesses, it affords me pleas
ure to bear testimony of your good con
duct and your strict conformity to all
orders which were issued by me, or which
came from higher authority. Now, gen
tlemen, soldiers, I bid you an affectionate
farewell. Your highest, holiest and no
blest aim will Le to be good soldiers of
Jesus Christ. My dearest friends, fare
well; and, if fcrever, yet forever fare thee
well.[ Nine cheers were given for Col.
Clarke.]
At the conclusion of the Colonel's speech
Orderly Sergeant Taggert of Company H,
arose and said :
Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen
We have often wondered that the renown
ed Tell should have rejoiced on returning
to the barren crags and peaks of Switzer•
land, but the secret all lies in this, that it
was his native land. How much more
does it become us to rejoice on returning
from fields where nothing bat desolation
and destruction reigns, to the enjoyment
of the society of friends, from whom we
have been so long separated.
He spoke of the kind manner in which
Colonel Clark had counseled his men
in the field, and of the gratitude felt for
him by the men. He said that in parting,
it had become his pleasant duty, in addi
tion to returning thanks to their Colonel
for
„himself and the men of the regiment,
to present him with a watch as a testimo
nial of their regard. Colonel Clark was
standing in Gen. Howe's Carriage, and
as he received the watch, he remarked :hat
for the unexpected token of regard, he
tendered his sincere thanks. He needed
no such testimonial to assure him of their
affection and regard for him. This piece
would increase his high esteem for those
who had followed him during peril and
fatigue.
The men had the sincere gratitude of
his heart for all their good conduct in the
camp and in the field. He wished no
better—no worse thing for them than the
blessing of our common Father. May
He whose hands scatters the drops of rain
liberally, reward yoweach one for all your
toil, and uphold you amid all sorrows.
May His hand sustain you in the hour of
need—may His presence ever go with
yon. I wish one and all, officers and men,
the blessing of God.
May the love of our heavenly Father
the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit, be with you all ; world without end
—Amen.
•
After a., moment's pause, the Colonel
said:: "Now, gentlemen, you may con
sider.youraelves your own men."
The crowd then moved off and each one,
retired to his owu home.
INCIDENTS
Let us refer to one of two incidents that
occurred during the reception, showing
' the depth fit n4Gfafi Meet ii. the I
procession formed, wives rnshBd into the
ranks and marched side by side with their
husbands. One lady had her little daught
er. a hild abont eight - or nblifyetirs of age. -
When it saw its father it sprang co nvul
sively into his-artni; and would not be
teperated from him, end thus husband
and wife, marched side by side, he carry
ing their child. A hands the little boy,
made his way into the hall, and singling
out his brother, sprang towards him, and
in a moment had his knapsack, canteen,
&c., stripped from his shoulders, and the
next was heaping up in front of his plate
everything he could lay his hands on. As
the regiment passed one house which had
sent a loved brother out with it, but who
now occupies a soldier's grave,the female
connected with the house overcome wish
their emotions burst into tears. At the
cars the meeting of friends and relatives
baffles discription. We could give many
incidents similar to this above, but have
not the apace to devote.
Lieut. Morehead.
We learn that this gallant young soldier,
who was reported as having been killed, is
in our city recruiting himself, and still
suffering from the effects of the severe
wound he received. We:congratulate him
that it was no worse, and hope to see him
soon restored to his usual health.
Trimble's Varieties.
Zoe having concluded her engagement
at the Varieties, the patrons of that ea
tablishment will have the pleasure of wel
coming Mira Kathleen O'Neill, who com
mences an engagement to-night. Miss
O'Nt ill's versatile talent is too well known
to require more than a passing notice.
Fire.
The alarm of fire Saturday morning was
occasioned by the partial burning of a pile
of slats in McCune A; Douglass' lumber
yard, on Duquesne Way, between Mkbury
and Hay , streets. It was the work of an
incendiary. The slats were in the centre
of the lumber yard, and for a while, a
serious con lL.gration was threatened. It
was extinguished, however, with but a
small loss. Our city is overrun with vil
lainous incendiaries, and every endeavor
should be made to ferret them out. The
fire occurred about four o'clock in the
morning.
Letters fop the 61st and 02d
Regiments.
Mr. John J. O'Brien will leave to-day
for the army of the Potomac", and will
take Pleasure in carrying any letters or
packages for the 61st and 62d regiments,
that may be entrusted to his care. Per
sons wishing to send to their friends in
these regiments can have their wishes at•
tended to by calling upon Mr. O'Brien at
his residence at No. 211 Pennsylvania
Avenue, opposite the Relief Engine
House.
Theatre--Beneflt of Iflr. Smythe.
Mr. D. C. Smythe, the very industridus
prompter at the Theatre, takes a benefit
this evening, when th 3 talented Miss Char
lotte Thompson will make her last appear
ance here this season, The play selected
for the occasion is Knowles' ever popular
Hunchback, in which the admirable ac
tress, Miss Thompson, will appear as Julia.
This is one of her finest delineations,
ranking with the finest efforts of Miss
Davenport. Mr. Smythe, himself. is cast
for Master Walter, and Mr. Loraine
Rodgers. an actor of ability is announced
for Sir Thomas Clifford. his fine play
and cast of characters, independent of the
beneficiary's claims for recognition and
support, ought to receive a large attend
ance at the Theatre this evening.
Artificial Arms and Legs.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
the fact that during these troublous times.
when so many are losing limbs in defence
of their country, the means for supplying
deficiency in legs or arms in such perfect
imitation of nature, as to deceive a casual
observer, is to be found right at our door.
Mr. J. Riechen bach,No. 58 Fourth street,
is manufacturing an article that must give
sati,;faction to all in need of artificial ap
pliances. Mr. Charles Morrow, of this
city, who has tried one cf Mr. R's. legs
speaks in the highest terms of the sail
faction to be derived from them.

lated from the French of Alexander Du

Youx-, May 17.—The steamer
George Washington, from New Orleans,
with dates to the 10th inst., arrived at
noon. Among her passengers is Colonel

An Opelimaas letter of the sth, states
that information had been received from
Grand Gulf and the gunboat fleet under
Admiral Porter, with details of the cap
ture of Grand Gulf and Port Gibson by
Gen. Ostendhaus. When the latter was
nearing Port Gibson he was met by hun
dreds of families fleeing from, the interior
to escape the raid of the Illinois Cavalry
under Gen. Grierson, and the prevalent
opinion among the secesh woe that Port
Gibson was the safest place in that region.
The damage done by our cavalry it is raid
is irrepairable.
It was reported at l)pelouses that Port
Hudson was evacuated
I,ieut. Col. A C. Hill, editor of the Era,
had been placed under arrest for having
allowed a questionable article to be pub•
lished in that paper. John E. Hayes and
J. P. Tracy, of the Era, have been expel
led from New Orleans for writing and
publishing the same article.
Quite an excitement occurred in the
opera, occasioned by the audience de
manding that National airs should be
played, but nothing serious resulted.—
Gen. Sherman has ordered that all places
shall hereafter submit their programme to
the Provost Marshal prior to its perform
ance, and suggesting that the National
airs be played.
Capt. Howard Dwight, Adjutant Gen

ton boy, and brother of Brig, Gen. Dwight,
and formerly Captain in the Missouri
Union Cavalry. His funeral took place
on the 9th inst., and his body was placed

The Era of the 10th mentions a rumor
that Port. Hudson was bombarded by our
fleet on the night of the Bth and all clay on
the 9th.
Col. Grierson had arrived at New Or
leans and had bee❑ presented by the
Unionists with a magnificent charger.
Admiral Farragut arrived at New Or

from Brashea city. The Admiral and his
officers left the flag ship on Red River,
They 'bring important inteligence that
Alexandria was captured on the flth by
Admiral Porter, and a portion of Farra
gut's fleet.
Prior to the capture of Alexandria Fort
De Raseey on the Red River was demol
ished after a fight, and a rebel gunboat
was also captured. After the capture on
the morning of the 6th, off Alexandria by
our gunboats the advance cavalry of Brig.
Gen. Dwight dashed into the place, thus
forming a junction of Admiral Farragut's
and Gen. lianks' forces.

bering some WO men, followed by several
hundred negroes rode into the city on that
day. They lett, Lagrange April 10th, and
burned the rebel stares and Railroad de
pot at °ketone. The depot and two hea
vily loadened freight and commissary
trains and an advance train at Newton, on
the Charleston and Vicksburg railroad.
The ordinance train contained 8,000 loaded
shells for the Vicksburg batteries which
exploded most terrifically. From Newton
they followed the railroad to Mandian,
burning all the bridges, thence South on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to F,nter
prize, where they destroyed the rebel ord
nance works, thence back to Newton and
burned all the bridges from thence to
Jackson, including the great bridge over
the Pearl river and near Jackson; tore up
ten miles of track, thence they followed
the Jackson and New Orleans Railroad
South to the Louisiana line. •
A rebel force of five thousand at Clin
ton was evaded by making acircuit around
them, our forces destroying their camp
equipage, stores, &c., and capturing 300
prisoners. While crossing a branch of
the Amite river Lieut. Col. Blackburn was
severely wounded and left in the hands
of the enemy. They crossed Amite river
on the morning of the first, ten miles from
Baton Rouge, and captured a rebel caval

because their Sewing Machine was better, or as

PIIILADELPHIA, May 16.—The well in
formed Washington correspondent of the
North American, writes':
There is a vague rumor in circulation
that, after the late battles and death of
Jackson, General Beanregard was tele
graphed to proceed to Richmond with all
the force that could be spared from his
department, and that he was daily ex
pected to join the army, which now ap
pears to be in an important position halt

ported to be t "strong force," but it is
presumed to be merely sufficient to garri
son the place, and give prompt notice to
the main body of the army of any move.

_ - - - -
f the reported ordering of Beanregard
to Virginia is correct, it would show that
the rebels did not anticipate any renewal
of the assault upon the defences of Charles

_ .
ton for some time to come, but in this
they may be mistaken. It is doubtful in
my own mind, however, whether the
Charleston forces have been ordered to
join Lee, though there have been certain
developments of lato which would seem to
give color to such a belief.
The rebels have such a way of handlin l
heir forces that it requires a most vigi
ant eye to penetrate their movements.

splendid steamer named as above. and f r beau

that is saying a good deal. Capt. Dean is a self
made man, having devoted his individual time
to steam boating and steam boat building—hav
ing built a largo number of boats. 111211 never
built one that was notsuecessful. The Camelia?
exceeds all them, and if it were possible, would
add another "star" to the Captain's already
crowded brow. In the construction of this boat
no expense has been spared; all the old and Ma
ny new improvements have been added, all that
Ingenuity and experience could suggest. will be
found on board-rbut then, what" is the value of a
boat unless you have a good commander. No,
person will complain on that score, when we fim tem tht i'at an ad lectd our oin--

known him for years and have no hesitation in
saying that a more clever,or honorable officer nev
trod the deck of a steamer. What ever he says
you can rely on. .The"Camelia's" success is cer

the magnificent carpets that cover the floor of the

themselves as a remarkably cheaphouse—Captain
Dean says he merely called in to see their neheatterns, when he found the prices so low, tha'at
