The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-07-14

Two or three hours AFTER bn0 arrival OF
the foregoing regiments, the 124th reached
she depot. As most of our readers know,
5his is q pet regiment of ours, sl the COM
pAnies having been raised in this county,
Medina and Lorain, with the exception of
companies C and I, which were recruited
in Cincinnati and vicinity. OF course it
received q somewhat heartier welcome than
that extended to those less nearly related
to US. The streets were crowded with rela-
tives, personal acquaintance and friends,
and handkerchiefs waved and cheers sound
ed from many windows and balconies along
the line of march.
Arriving at the Park, the boys were sd-
dressed by Bush White, Esq, in a few
words of welcome, ftly spoken. He de-
clsred that they had saved the Republic,
and that she would ever remember them
They had brsvely done their duty on the
battlefield, and were now come home to re-
sumo the duties of citizens. One question
appealed TO them for settlement, namely,
the reconstruction of the Ststes,-s work as
important as that Of crushing the rebellion.
But well as they have done, the good
work has not been all don't by them. Their
mothers and sisters and wives have staid
g home to take care of the farms and work
shops, and supply the wants of the soldiers.
To them, also, belonged everlasting praise.
The soldiers should now lay out the poll
t%icians, n enter upon The offices of the
land and the discharge of all the duties of
enlightened citizenship. They will work
now and ever, as they have done in the
field, for The good and glory of the country,
to save which they fought and bled and
died.
Capt. ]. W. Bullock, of the 124th, briefly
responded to Mr.. White, in behalf of Col.
Pickand md his men, after which the boys

ed by Messrs. Richards, Wheeler and Rus
