ESLieut. Col. James Mont
gomery, of the SSd O.Y. with
2l men of Co, +, recruited BY him in
this county, having re. enlisted. re-
turned home on fnrlough for thirty
days They were met at our wharf
on Monday morning last, by large
lconcourse ofcitizens, and escorted
to the "Nationar' by the Trumbull
Guards amid firing of cannon and
strains of martial music.
From thence they were marched
to the Court House where speeches
by s. A. Nash, Capts. Vance and
Aleshirc and Colonel Montgomery,
were made to large and deli GIFTED
audience, They were then again
escorted to the National where a
dinner was prepared for them by our
citizens, many ofwhom joined them
in disposing of it. After dinner the
veterans left for their homes in
Guyan township, greatly delighted
with the cordial reception they met
with in Gallipolis.
Col Montgomery's recital of the
hardships endured by the Regiment
go to show that the gallant 33d is
second to none of the Ohio Volun-
teers in the field. Always in the front,
of course their numbers have been
sadly depleted. 1t is to be hoped
the Colonel will be able to take back
with him enough of Gallia County
Volunteers, to raise his old eompa-
ny at least to the minimum num-
Der.
We publish the following General
Orders by way of showing how
highly the Regiment stands in the
estimation of the command ding
officers:
