u 40 na' Gov. MrLLER's RKnARss.d On 49,
~ Col Avefill then Introduced, ID the or.,os
ofwelcomeo on behalf of the State, CIV. Miller:
n He said he, was proud and happy to Welcomes
to the State, and to their homes q regiment
b of men around whose history clustertd an
many glorious incidents and facts and which
had battled with the enemy abovethe clouds
"a well as below them. He referred to their
first battle. the brilliant victory at Mill Spring,
which had electrified the nation In It's hours
of darkest gloom. There were two classes of
soldiers whom he would especially eulogise-
the private who Ind carried his knapeack for
four years, and the dead, who fell battling Tor
God and the right" '|'
Il was customary, he bad observed at some
receptions In other States, to give the soldiers
advice a. to their conduct after leaving the ar
my. You, he said, did not need such advice,
rs your admirable conduct proves you are men,
high minded and decorous, and will ~ once
take mp the pursuits of peace and 60 to work
again. He would however, enjoin upon them
to remember the widows and orphans OF the
soldiers who had fallen In this war, and advo-
cate by the ballot, tax for their support, and
for home for their disabled comrades And
ne would enunciate another truth that those
who have fought for our Union should have
right to vote whether minors, or aliens, or ne
groes as black as ebony!
After humorous remark ID reference to the
ladies who were waiting for them above, and
who had better welcome than words, he
closed by saying that he would turn the regi-
ment over to them for further instruction. :"
