Return of the Patriotic

This day the city cavalry—four companies of artillery—M'Pherson's volunteer blues—that part of Col. Gurney's regiment then in the city, and the officers of the first division of the militia of Pennsylvania, repaired, agreeable to appointment, to the Middle Ferry, where they met the remainder of the troops belonging to this city, on their return from the western expedition—They were welcomed with shouts of pleasure and approbation, by their brothers in arms, and an innumerable multitude of other citizens. A detachment of the artillery fired a federal salute—the bells rang a joyful peal—and universal congratulation closed the scene.
