The regiment has seen hard service and
q plenty of it, having been with Grant

The boys looked hardy and hearty, and
were in the best of rpirits. They marched
off with sweeping step, many of them lead
ing dogs and other pets. BestOwing KNAPP
sacks and guns on the deck, they sprawled
out at length, and composed themselves
with the prospect of a besutifuI moonlight
ride on tie lake, and the thought of their
nearing home.
Colonel Lonsbsrry informed us that the
I7.h and 26sh Michigan regiments had been
mustered out, and would pass through our
city early this week.

leigh, being part of the 14th Corps in sher-
mans invincible army. The boys share
the common prejudice" entettained in
that army, that Sherman can beat the devil
himself in a fair field fight, or at strategy
sither. They are GLAD to get home again.
but still express themselves willing to fight
on if it were necessary but they must
have General William Tecumseh to fight
under.
This is the best looking regiment we nave
yet seen. All are large men, robust, active,
"a set of invincible r~esolutes. There is
not a sick man in the regiment, nor has
there been for month. They are all pic
lures of perfect health. Colonel Pierce is
suffering from a wound 10 the shoulder, re-
ceived in the last f light, but is able to travel,
and is otherwise hale and hearty. The
men, with few exceptions. are we'll clothed;
having re6tted their wardrobes somewhat
before the grand review. They possess re-
markably intelligent faces, and che officers
are men Of commanding presence andsfne,
soldierly bearing. They are nearly all far
mers' boys, and are men who add to the
rugged physiquss one would naturally Z
pect them to have, unmistakable evidences
Of quick minds and more Than ordinary
culture.

rumors of it's speedy arrival, but the re-
ports were discreditsd, as they did not

has been SO thoroughly s~ystematized that
the Governor should know FIRST of Hll-ofthe
movements of Ohio troops. As a natural
consequence, 40 preparations had been
made for the reception of the gallant 9sth
