Return.
--The battalion which left this place on Wednesday, the 17th instant, for Harper's Ferry 'have' returned home. The battalion consists of the Monticello Guards, Captain Mallory; the Albemarle Rifles, Capt. Duke; the Sons of Liberty, Captain Tosh; and the Southern Guard, Capt. Hutter, of the University.These gallant men were welcomed by the Cornet Band and a vast concourse of citizens, the ladies waving their handkerchiefs and the throng cheering. All the companies returned with new Minnie muskets, captured at Harper's Ferry.
We learn that these companies will remain at home only five days, when they will again march to serve on some other field of action. Each and every one of them is eager to meet the enemies of his State and the South.--Charlottesville Jeffersonian.
