into the csr-house. Among those distin-

Senators Sherman and Wade, Hons. Ashley,

and a score Of other similar exclamRtions,
accompanied BY continuous cheering, greeted
he boys as they fled out OF the cars and
formed in marching array in the large depot
building. Crowds copyrighted also in front
of the depot, and as they marched out upon
the street, the people there caught the enthu-
siasm, and repeated right Justify and heartily
the cheers from within the enclosure. The
HOlevelard Grays" led the column; and none
failed to remark their splendid military
bearing and perfection of drill. In solid

the depot to "Four-and-a-H Half" street, down

exceedingly grateful to the wern and wef-ry
boys, tried with an entire days travel, and

snugly ensconsced, the citizens and Others
fingered in the neighborboOd, and made the
night vocal with their continued enthusiastic
cheering. I believe am entirely truthful

Capt. Paddock tells me that the march

any attack been made upon them, they would
have administered a few of their pills, each
