We mentioned in yesterday mornings
STATEsMAN the arrival at Tod Barracks, of
$40 men from Sherman's army, with the

The arrival OF the 513fhen yesterday fore
noon was quite unexpected by our military
and civil authorities. They came almost
without any, previous notice of'their ad-
vent. Theirarrival somewhat disconnected
the previous arrangements for the recep-,
tion; nevertheless, everything passed OF IN
good order, and, we believe' to general sat-
isfaction. At about. half past ten o'clock
yesterday forenoon the newly arrived SOL
diers wene marched from the Barracks to
the West, Front of cthe Capitol, preceded
by the band OF the 22d V. Il. c. and the
companies Of that regiment. The 94th o.
v. 1. and the detachments'that had, ,justiafat
rived brought up the rear. Along with
them were.the band of the 52dand the band
of the 74th. The bronzedt faces of the men,
their soilsd garments, and the worn and
tattered flags they bore, attested the tolls,
perils and spriyationsl to- which they had
been subjected. yet their step was firm and
elastic, and their hardy appearance evinced
their capacity for still further endurance
and hardship in the great battle of life.
The returned volunteers were drawn up
in order, under the direction of Col. Skiles,
at the west front Of, the Capitol. Perfect
order and quietude reigned among the
men. The portico Of the Capitol was filed
by citizens-ladies and gentlemen. After
music by the bands, Governor Brough made
his appearance on, the steps, and welcomed
the soldiers home. His remarks, though
they could be distinctly heard only at short
distancebhwere generally well-timed and
appropriate to the occasion. Lieutenant
Governor Anderson followed Governor
Brough in an address Of welcome. He
spoke of the mingled feelings Of Joy ard
sorrow torwhich the return of the soldiers
gave rise--of joy at their safe return, and OF
sorrow at the loss of so many of their brave
companions. The presence of men of the
52d led him to speak in terms of high
eulogy of its former Colonel, Dan. ,McCook
He spoke of Sherman's expedition through
the heart of the Confederacy as exceeding
anything in history-even the famous
march of XenopheD. But parenthetically
in one Of his sentences, he thanked God tol
the desolation of the South. After the
speech, the soldiers gave three enthusiastic
cheers for Sherman, Grant and the Country
the name of Sherman being re-echoeG
through the ranks. f..i s..'-..' .r.I,
At about IL o'clock the soldiers were
marched back to the Barracks, and at about
2P. M. were conducted to Goodale Park
Here ample preparations had been made
early in the day for entertaining some 70(
men, but the unexpected arrival of 50t
more caused some embarrassment. But the
best was done that could be upon short no
tice. A bountiful repast was spread undel
the trees Short distance to the left of the
south entrance into the Park. Some $sO(
or $1,000 had been expended in provisions
and in furnishing the tables. There were
prepared three or four barrels of iced lem
onade. Three parallel tables, six or sever
rods in length, were arranged on three side
of square, making nine long tables. Or
the south side were two stands or platforms
for the, bands OF music, and one for tn,
speakers. The entire arrangement as well
as the place selected, was very fine, ant
creditable to the ladies and gentlemen en-
gagged In making the preparations. h., :, nj
The soldiers, upon their arrival at tht
place appointed, filed off on each side o
the several tables, standing in close order
