In consequence of the report that the
regiment would MT arrive until late in the
afternoon, there was not gathered at the
depot the usual crowd of spectators and
friends Of the returning boys in blue. But
a delegation, respectable in size, greeted
the soldiers as they came in, with cheers
and joyful faces. The dust-grimmed boys
INDUCED in a good wash at the depot, and
after q short rest fell into line, headed by q
band and marched TO the Park, where they
were formally received by John C. Grannis,
Esq in behalf of tho city, in a few well
chosen words of welcome.
Lieutenant Colonel Jordan made a ft re-
Spouse in the name of the regiment.
Good SIS the speeches were, the dinner,
which had been prepared and spread on the
long line of tables running through the
tents, by Messrs. Richards, Wheeler and
Russell, was better appreciated, at least by
the hungry soldiery.
Dinner dispatched, tho boys had a good
rest on the grass, under the trees, sof tho
Park, and received the congratulations of
acquaintance and friends. About three
o'clock they took up the line of march for
camp, where they will DO. paid of in a few
days and allowed to go home.
The 10Th has belonged to, and beer
identified with, tho glorious Army of tho
Tennessee. Ga their banner are inscribed
many grand historic names. They were
with Sherman in the bloody campaign
which ended at Atlanta, and saw the end
of the war in the old North State.
The 1O4th is the fullest Northern Ohio
regiment which has arrived here, and its
members, in point of rugged physiques, in
telligont faces, discipline and fine sOldierly
bearing, will not suffer one whit by COM
parison with those of any other regiment,
Of this or any other State which wo have
seen. They will soon lay aside their blue,
and, as useful members, mix again in soci-
oE-
