The IO5Gh numbers $50 enlisted men and
81 Offcers-55l, all told. It wss recruited
in Lake, Ashtabula, Trumbull, Geauga and
Mahoning counties, and was mustered here
at Camp Cleveland, August 81, 1882, andleft
next day for Kentucky over the Columbus
road. 1t belonged to the Army of the Cum
berland under Rosecrans until the battle Of
Stone River, after which it was merged in
the I4th Corps under General Thomas. II
has been with Sherman in all his glorious
tour, from Chattanooga to Atlanta, from
Atlanta to Savannah, from Savannah to
Richmond and Washington, and yesterday
it completed the magic circle by touching
st the point whence it set out three years
ago on its doubtful wsnderings. AS aregi-
ment it has marched between five and six
thousand miles, besides an Infinite no-count
of miseellaneous marching. Since it reached
Kentucky, the boys had not been conveyed
by steamboat or cars, until they boarded
the train at Washington, westward bound,
Saturday night.
The men have endured this infinite
marching and fighting as other regiments
have endured, and are not more decimated
by disease and the effects of the constant
campaign than other regiments worked
equally hard. They are a younger looking
set of men han the 9sEh o..V. L.,,which ar
rived Sunday, but they seem equally hardy,
self-reliant and intelligent.
The regiment marched to the, Park, sa-
luted on either hand by crowds Of men,
women and children, who thronged the
streets and darkened windows, balconies
and doors, and as they moved on stately
and grand, flags and innumerable handker-
chiefs waved and thousands Of voices spoke,
the welcome which was in all hearts and
beamed in all eyes. They fled into the
Park, and formed themselves into three
sides of a square, stacking arms. Charles
W. Palmer, Esq, advanced in the area
and extended to the gallant men an earnest,
eloquent welcome in behalf of the
city and, as he appropriately added, of the
people of Ohio.
On the conclusion of the brief speech Of
welcome, the men marched in double file,
On efshvr Bidv VI the JaDIe, through the
long line of tents pitched for their con-
v~enience and comfort during the enter
tainment. A bouutiful dinner was fur
nished them, which was duly appreciated
by the men who had been without food
since the night previous. Dinner over,
the regiment took their position again,
and received the congratulations of all
the kind attention of acqustntsnces, the
hearty good cheer of friends and the IN
speakabls massive enjoyments of sweet
hearts and wives. Those not fortunate
enough to meet with the latter class,
sprawled, many of them, upon the
grass, and, like the hero of old, got
strength audrest from contact With mother
earth. One romantic scene we witnessed,
but we are no artist, and can't begin to do
justice to the subject. We are not good on
color or proportion. But wen outline it,
and trust the lively Imagination of the
reader to supply all of tint and grace thai
is lacking. Johnny had concentrating
home, and she of the ~unspeskable name
was there to witness his triumph. Surely,
she was not wife. Surely, she was sweet
heart. Like two drops of quicksilver they
tremble and rush into one. VaIor meets
grace, and there is no end of the hugging,
&c. He does not drop her hand for an in
slant, lest she fly away, and the dream
break. He is demonstrstive, as being
the bolder of the two and knowing his
comrades; she is timid and bsshful
before the eyes of a regiment and the on
looking crowd, and testi6es only by certain
magnetic indications her joy to be folded,
his "1ong-lost Betsy" in his arms. An
hours talk follows all too quick, and then
Johnny goes marching over to camp, and
bride.to be goes we know not whittier, but
not a Thousand miles away
We have inadvertently omitted mention
ing that Battery C, LIST Ohio Light Artillery,
Captain NJ. B. Gary, arrived at the same
time, and shared in the triumphsl march
and entertainment It numbers I24 men,
and is oficered as follows:
Captain NJ. B. Gary, commanding.
LIST Lieutensnts j. B. Stevens and Thomas
King
I'd Lieutenants James storer and Edwin
Herman. .-r.a
The battery, which formed 3 part of Col.
Barnett's regiment, was recruited in Lake,
Ashtabula and GsaugE counties and Has
mustered here September 9, 1861. It re-
enlisted in January, 1884, and has bsen
with Sherman.
The men have gone into camp, Whsre
they will remain 8 few days, until paid of
and allowed to 60 home.
The 18th Wisconsin Battery came in with
the troops mentioned above, and were
lunched at the depot, and went on West
last night. sr+
ACADEMY OF MusIo.-We have room and
time only to say that the performances at
the Academy last night passed off in the
most gratifying and successful
The pieces were of q sort to entertain, and
they were put upon the stage in very at
tractive style. Mr.. Lee, the beneficiary,
