The National Guard regiments are now
moved rapidly to the front, where a glOri-
Gus service awaits them. A few days will
show what an important part the State Of
Ohio and her noble Cove nor have taken
in this present crisis in the history Of the
country. suffice ii to say now that it is
such as TO reflect honor Oh ny people. By
tomorrow morning, 19 regiments will have
gone forward. The 1881, Colonel Miller,
from Richland, Ashland and Wysndotte
counties, fine looking body Of men, left
