This "abelition" or "~Gidding'sS tegiS
mene' arrived here about eight o'clock
yesterday morning direct from Louisville,
KY. After washing of the smut Of travel
and she cinders from their eyes, the boys.
$50 all told, marched up to the Park, head
ed by members of the Reception Com
mittee and Lelsnd's Band. The streets
slong which they passed were densely
lined with people who expressed their de-
light at the boys return in the usual
demonstrations. The march to the Square
was quite an ovation. The regiment swung
along in that measured, easy military gait
which all the returning troops have, and
made as hne an appearances as any regi-
ment, equally small, could have made.
When ell things were in readiness at the
Park, Judge Tilden made the following
speech ofNWelcome /: .lh.
SOLDIERS OF THE 18th REGIKEEF 1T was
only at a late hour last evening that | was
informed of your coming, and requested to
express to you the welcome sentiments OF
the city of Cleveland for the services tnat
you nave rendered u.s.. / undertook tne
task with extreme reluctance. l am not
prepared, nor are the people prepared OF
able TO convey 10 you the deep feelings of
gratitude which they hold toward youtcom-
| mensurate with your services, not only
TO our children, to this generation, but to
mankind throughout the globe. b
This is no novelty TO us, it is nothing
new. We have had regiment after regi-
ment pass through the streets, and yet we
feel that the deep sense Of obligation which
we entertain falls short. Your battles, your
marches, your comrades fallen in defense
of freedom, all contribute to that deep
/, sense of gratitude. We cannot begin to
conceive of the character OF the services
you have rendered the country. While
you have stood in the battles front amidst
the smoke and dust and roar of artillery,
and all the terrors that characterize scenes
like that, we have slept soundly at home.
We have enjoyed all its blessings. Every
department Of industry has been prosper
Gus while you have been making these
sacrifices. Where would We nave been had
the day not been saved by you at Gettys-
burg. The cannon's roar wOnld have been
heard IN the streets of Cleveland. Time
and experience alone will enable us to sp-
p~reciate the service which flowed from you
TO the country. You have changed the as
pect of the country both ct homo and abroad.
Europe, who regarded US as timid towards,
as q race addicted TO mOney-making, now
treats US with the same respect as the most
powerful State on the globe.
Where now is the satanic power that has
consigned 10000 beings TO graves of eter-
nal infsmy ? Where now are the naughty
and defiant leaders of this rebellion, who
branded YOU Hs towards and mudsills 2
Where are they Some wandering in for
eign countries with the brand of Cain
upon them destitute, hungry and Stunned
by all. They will never dare set their feet
on American soil while others rest beneath
it, where they shall disturb the country NO
moro. s'
Where is the great leader, foremost in
pride and iDsolence, chief of villains as well
as chief in authority? Where is hep Tho
strong walls of Fortress Monroe holds him
within its confines. l do not know what
will be done with him, nor will 1 venture
to predict his fate, but all 1 will say is that
Nfeo--thee 7eo~tioa- of that arch traitress,
Mrs. Surratt, his crinolne and IetHcoats
will not save him. .
Twill not detain you farther. You are
anxious and impatient to visit your homes,
where anxiety SO long has dsrkened the
heartbstone, and where hope and joy now
for the first time kindle the family circle.
Words cannot pay you for your services
Gold cannot pay you. Yours is one of the
nationsI debts that cannot be paid but you
have the proud consciousness and satisfsc-
tion of knowing that you have sustained
the flag in all its pristine glory. Once
more l bid you a hearty welcome. And
now 60 home, and may the blessing Of God
attend you to the close ofyour life.

The 10Th o. v. I. was organized at Jeffer-
son, Ashtabula county, in August, 1851. II
was recruited exclusively in the counties
constituting the 18th Congressional Dis
trict, and through the personal endeavors
of the late Hon. ]. R. Giddings. It is to be
taken for granted that all the boys were
"abOlitionized" before going into the field.
They have proved themselves very efficient
soldiers, and the old Twenty-ninth has
made itself a name which may be pro-
nounced in the same breath with the
famous "Bloody Seventh" and both were
in the same brigade.
This regiment left for active duty in the
Shenandoah Valley, soon after its organi-
zAtiOn, With full ranks. 1t was Offered as
follows:

Lieut., Colonel-Thomas Clark.
MsjOr-JOhn S. Clsmner.
Surgeon-A. K. Fifeld.
Asst SurgeOn-SylVester Burroughs.
Cbaplain-R. II. Hurlbut.
But it was not only in the Valley that this
regiment made its mark. It was under
Joe Hooker in Virginia, Meade in Pennsyl-
vania, and Hooker again in Georgia, and the
invincible Sherman everywhere. The fol-
lowing historic nsmes, glorious forevermore,
are inscribed on the banner of the regiment,
and they indicate the path of fire and blood
trod by the old 29th:
Cedar Mountain, Winchester, Port Re-
public, Chsncellorsville, Gettysburgh, Look
