seth Illinois, has just reached hts regiment after
long absence canscd by scrlous wound received
On the sth Of May. Though incapac1tatcd for eer-
vice in the field, he Jet did good service to the
cause at home, having been one Of our most popu-
lar md effective speakers In the recent home
paicn. The boys received him with enthusiasm,
gathering around him en- tnusse, and drawing with
them great mouy men from the other regiments
composing the old brigade. They brought out
the old 1age, and waved them while cheer on cheer
rent the air, Col. Osborn his arm still in sling,
briefly acknowledged the honor. and announced
ing with the pledge he had given long ago that he
would share with THEN the fortunes Of war till
death Or victory should sheathe bis sword,
