be much cheaper 10 maintain them in a large
body, than in several different divisions. The
number of troops now concentrated at Camp
Dennison is about fifteen thousand, and they
are now nearly all armed and uniformed
The distance from Camp Harrison to the
new quarters is ten miles, and il was made
optional with the commanders Of the regi-
ments whether they would march thither
directly, or 90 by the railroad, through the
city. The Montgomery Regiment chose the
former method Of travel, and the Guthrie
Grsys the latter. Colonel Cummings and
the second German regiments will leave to-
day. A..
The Guthries made a splendid appearance
in their passage through the city. They are
all picked men, and were well armed, the
only drawback being that two companies
were not yet uniformed.
They marched on foot along the avenue to
the city, and were everywhere greeted with
cheers from the people. The streets along
which they marched were crowded, and the
reception, though i%mpromptu, was really q
grand ovation. When opposite the residence
of LaIz Anderson, they were received by the
Hero of Fort Sumter, who appeared highly
pleased with the discipline they evinced.
They finally reached the depot, where another
large crowd greeted them, and after remain
ing q short time, to take leave of friends,
they stepped on board the cars, and in a few
moments were torn away from the sympa-
thizing, admiring multitude.
PRESENT TO COLONEL BosLEY.
A fine horse was presented to Colonel
Bosley, of The Guthrie Grays, at Camp Har.
rison, just before his departure from that
place. The presentation speech was made
by Hon. George H. Pendleton, and was as
follows: .
Colonel BoSley: l have been commissioned
by a number of your former associates and
constant friends to present to you this horse.
/ am instructed to ask you to accept il in
token of their kind feeling, their respect and
their conference.-the kind feeling, induced
by many courtesiss in the paths of private
intercouIse-their respect, for a frank and
honorable cbaracter-their confidence, that
the tastes which have led you to devote so
much of time and energy to the cultivation
of military discipline and spirit in peace
will not fail to conduct yo1 to scenes of use
full and honorable activity in time of war
their confidence that you, who have been
found worthy to command the Guthrie
Grays--you, the chosen leader of the flower
of the Buckeye Boys, will find for yourself
and them, in every field of battle, a field of
honor also, and will bring from every con-
fict the laurel which graces q soldiers brow
or decks q soldiers bier.
Receive it in the spirit in which it is pre-
sented. On it lead your regiment to the
contest.
Remember yourself, teach them to remem-
Der that in this unhappy war, calmness of
spirit, moderation of temper, with deter.
mined purpose, are the highest virtues of a
citizen soldier-that they should strike no
blow for an empty triumph; none to crafty
a passion for reveDge-that they should have
no other purpose than to uphold the Oonsti-
tuition, to reinvigorate the Union, and to
maintain the true dignity of the banner Of
the stars and stripes, against whose unsullied
folds our countrymen, in their hour of mad
ness, have ventured to raise an unhallowed
band.
Do this, as you love your countryl Do it
as you would serve your Godl Do it, and
you will achieve an honorable victory, AND
restore a lasting peacel Do it, and you will
fill the measure of a good mans ambition
and viii return in more prosperous times
with your brave companions, to enjoy thu
reward for which poets have sung, ant
heroes have fought, and patriots have beer
content to die, in grateful admiration o
their fellow. citizens.
Colonel Bosley made the following re-
spouse:
Mr.. Pendleton, and Messys. Terrence, GettieI
and Schultz Gentlemen of the Committee
Words fail me in expressing the deep sensl
of qualification that | feel toward my friends
for this unexpected testimonial of their re
gard and esteem. Rest assured, gentlemen
that in the field of strife 1 shall endeavor Il

make no promises, but l feel that tn,
regiment of which am the representative
will be prompt, active and energetic in thu
performance of any and all the duties tina
may deyolve upon them and all that l ash
for them from the citizens of Cincinnati is
!, that when they return to their families ant
their homes, they may meet with suci
reception as their conduct as soldiers during
the coming struggle may deserve.
My earnest prayer is, that the great Coz
who sees all things may SO decree, that whel
thisf ratricidal strife shall cease, when peac
and tranquility shall once more bless thi
glorious republic, / may be able TO return
with my regiment unbroken, not one ma
unaccounted for. But, if any shall fall, res
assured that they will die as become me-

and liberties of a great people seeking t

Again, gentlemen, l thank you.
