The IzIh wis. Regiment.

This veteran Regiment, numbering 81
officers and AL enlisted men arrived at
Madison on Friday last, where they were
met and welcomed by the State authorities
with appointed ceremonies.
No Regiment that Wisconsin has sent
out has done more gallant service for the
Union cause than the 18th. They left the
State abont two years ago, and were soon
put in active service at the siege of Corinth
where they acquitted themselves noblv.--
Following close upon this were the battles
of Tallahatchie, Champion Hills, Vicksburg
and Fort Beauregard, Louisiana, in each of
which they nobly sustained themselves as
men and soldiers and made fame, which
| first recognized in the army with which
they served, has echoed throughout the State
that knew them as the Irish Brigade, and was
proud to own them as such,
| Shortly after the capture of Vicksburg
they were mounted, and for two months
secured the country capturing 80 prisoners
and only loosing in the dangerous service
one man killed and five wounded Their
reliability as steady soldiers was recognized
by Gen. HAIIEoK, who selected them to
perform guard duty i'll protecting valuable
property at Corinth. In addition to these
well-earned claims to distinction, they have
the proud one Of being the largest veteran

Chicago papers are filled with accounts of
the demonstrations in their honor while
passing through that city; and the numerous
societies composed of men of kindred birth
and associations that escorted them, proved
that the career of the 18th Wis. is regarded
with pride by thousands of grateful coun-
trymen. In two years of such eventful and
active service, constantly confronting Or dri-
wing the enemy, some have died like SOL
diers, and the rest return imbued with their
brave memories.

GEN. BURNSIDE was at Chicago on Satur-
day'and was the recipient of public recep-
ton and ovation on the part of the citizens.
The 1rtbaae says: ''The reception of Gen.
Burnside, on Saturday evening at Bryan
