First Reunion of the S2nd

The reunion of the S2nd Regi-
ment of Ohio Volunteers, at this
place, on Thursday the lst day of
July, called together large number
of the survivors of that gallant
band of heroes, and the occasion
was one that will long be remem
bered by those who were present
and took part in the proceedings.
1t was the first time many of them
had met since they left the regiment,
perhaps on the battlefield to be car
ried to the rear or at the muster out
and disbanding Of the regiment at
the close of the war, and as they
took each other by the hand, the
greetings were earnest and heart
felt. Old associations and racollec-
tions we're revived OF tolls, defeats,
triumph and final victory, and
many sad thought was cast after
those who will report for duty only
at the call Of the roll, on the Plain
beyond the River. Our citizens
united in giving them hearty well
come, and the the entire proceedings
were marked by a degree of har-
mony and good feeling that made
the re union q decided success.
The afternoon exercises were held
in the Court House which had been
handsomely decorated by the ladies
with flags and flowers. The court
room was filed to overlooking, and
all present, manifested the deepest
interest in the entire proceedings
Rev. Fry, the first chaplain of the
Regiment, made an eloquent and
most impressive prayer, and Capt.
E. Lee, of Delaware, delivered a
very able and interesting address.
His illusions to the memory Of their
fallen comrades, caused many hearts
to bleed and many eyes to be dim
with tears.
In the evening, supper was pro-
vided for the regiment at the Ries
House, where nearly one hundred
persons including number Of
ladies', sat down to the bountifully
filed tables, about 9 O'Clock, and all
did ample justice to the feast spread
before them. Then came toasts
and speeches, songs and jokes, TIL
three hours had been spent, when
on motion it was resolved to adjourn
to meet again at Kenton, on the 4tt
of July, 1870, and the re union Of
the S2nd was over. The best o.
order prevailed throughout the day
and evening, and all seemed tt
heaatily enjoy the occasion.-Ken

From the Greenville Is. c. Enterprise.
Marriage after Thirty-three
Years Engagement.

On Sunday last Miss Matilda
Griffith, who has long been respec-
ted resident of Greenville, and Mr..
John Grant of Ireland, were married
at the residence of the former by the
Rev. E. T. Buist, D. d.
The incident is pleasing one;
romantic history attached. Thirty
three years have fed since the parties
were engaged, nor have they seen
each other in that time, and during
long portion of it were ignorant of
each others whereabouts. They
were both attached when mere chill
dren, in their native Ireland; but
when the engagement became known
the families of both were opposed
to it from opposite religious views,
and that of Miss Griffith contrived
to send her, against her will, to the
United States. Mr.. Grant, all dis
consolate, enlisted in the British
army, not being aware at first
whittier the lady had gone. His
career as a soldier continued 26
years; in the meantime he fought
through the terrible Sepoy rebellion
in India, making as many hair
breadth escapes Gin the imminent
deadly breaches at Othello.
He returned to England some
three or four years ago, and having,
in the meantime, had some CORES
pondence with the lady-for his de-
votion never faltered-sailed for
this country. She was on her voy-
age at the same time to old Ireland,
and the ships passed each other.
He found his way to the great west;
and having been prostrated by chol-
era and losing the means brought
with him, he went to Montana to
recruit. Last Friday he arrived by
the cars in Greenville, very sud-
denly and unheralded, and forthwith
sought the house of Miss Griffith,
who knew him instantly on sight,
but he did not recognize her in the
same manner, for she had changed
from the fragile girl to the mature
woman. Of course she was as agi-
tated and overjoyed as he was, and,
there being no longer any impedi-
ment, an immediate marriage was
determined on. The result was
their union on Sunday as before
stated. They both have the con-
gratulations and kindest wishes of
this community, and the good pros
pect. from apparent vigorous health;
of enjoying many years of happiness
to crown their mutual and rare con-
stancy.

Frank Blair's FiascO. at Long
Branch.

Ine 1ouOWlng are the particulars
of Frank Blair's fasco at Long
Branch: During the banquet of the
Army of the Gulf, last night when
called he braced himself against q
table and began his harrangue with
closed eyes. He said that not one
word had been spoken about those
who were once, and are, our BROTH
ers. He would say one word for
the people who had been our enc
mics. He knew that when he spoke
of them before soldiers, he spoke
to magnanimous and generous court
that those against whom we con-
tended, those whom we aspersed as
rebels and traitors, and over whom
we had triumphed, were agreat and
generous people, and well worthy
of our best steal. Turning to Ad-
miral Farragut, who politely bowed
acquiesence, General Blair contin-
ued: "We have heard the praises
ofFaragut, Sheridan and others, to-
night. We will yet hear of Lee.
pronounced in louder tone and
and exulting manner, and of Stone
wall Jackson" The General artic-
ulated the name of this distinguished
rebel with his voice pitched at its
highest key. Kisses; cries of Or
der, Traitor, sit down, sit down, put
him out, shame.
| General Blair was not discourag-
ed. but said, in naughty manner,
"Does any body dissent? Is there
any dissent ?" eyes, sir, there is.
| do, sir; I do, My name is Major
Robert A. Haggerty, sir" Sen
sation. A pause followed which,
was almost Immediately broken by
cries of ''Don't hear him." "Shut
T up," &C., DC.
General Blair-s'I do not ask to
be heard l do not beg for hear
ing; never have and never will,"
After the widest confusion and
excitement had lasted about ten
minutes, Admiral Farragut, who
had been doing his utmost to re-
store harmony, finally secured at.
tention, and good naturedly said
that, as the meeting had asked Mr..
,, B. to speak, they ought to hear him
patiently. .-
Captain Montgomery, of the navy,
: said: s'Mr. Chairman, I call Mr..
=, Blair to order. There is an article
, in our bylaws which forbids any
political discussions or harrangues
at any of our meetings. 1 call upon
> the chair to enforce that rule.
Admiral arragut-'tHave you a
copy? Let me see it.
A copy was shown him; he read
the clause alluded to by Captain
: Montgomery, and then addressed
Mr.. Blair: eyes, Mr. Blair, I cal
E you to order, because our bylaws
do not permit any political speeches
at any OF our meetings. Intention.
! ally or otherwise, you have intro
: duced politics.
r Blair, with an idiotic chuckle, re.
o sumed his seat.
e In answer to the remark of a re-
C porter, that his remarks startled
and displeased the assemblage, he
d replied Eyes, d-n it, I knew
e could fetch them, and did it." He
e winked very significantly as he con.
O cluded this sentence.

~The Conservative Republi-
cans in Virginia have swept the
State, very serious detection of the
colored vote having left the Wells
party helpless. The most extra
ordinary feature of the affair is the
going over Of Hunnicutt and his
followers to the Conservative whites
though it did not secure for him the
seat in Congress he coveted. The
constitution, shorn of its objectiona-
BILE features, has been adopted, and
from the present appearance OF
things the triumph Of the Walker
faction is not a matter for much re-
gret, if for any. The time has come
for moderate counsels to prevail in

the sovereignty of our Government
over those misguided States, we
will, upon our return, while our
hands are in, also eXterminate trea-
son at the North, by arms, if need
be, and seal, by the blood Of traitors,
wherever found, the permanent
peace of our country, and the perpe-
tuity Of free government to all

The traitors are those who give
utterance to peace sentiments. The
treatment proposed for such traitors
is determination by the military
power The time is now. THIS as
The programme on paper, according
to these officers; aud these officers are
commanders IN the army 1t is GER
tainly threat of civil war at home

tnsu6ordsnate army against an unor
ganized and peaceful people upon an
issue of party opinion. \
The army, so far as it is represem-
ted by these officers, is ready; and

THE ENRUIRER CONSIDERS ITSELF
INsULTED.
General Rosecrans said, in pub
lie letter to the Governor of Ohio,
that s'he who entertains the senti
ment in favor of peace upon any
TERMS is fit only to be a slave ;
and he who utters it at this time, is,
moreover, traitor to his country,
and deserves the scorn and contempt
of all honorable men"
Now we can easily imagine terms
upon which we are distinctly and
decidedly in favor of peace. We,
therefore, come aDitsin the intent and
meaning Of General Rosecrans' def1-
milton Of traitor to his country
Moreover, are belieue that General
Rosecraaes, had, tn part, the Enquirer
in his thoughts arhen he penmed the
sentences ace haze quoted. He is
therefore, a Legitimate subject fol
treatment at our hands. In propor-
hon to the insult aoAich he has in1aic
ted upon as, we have treated him
gently.
From the Gin. Daily Enquirer, March 4, '6s
GENERAL RosECRANs' ''IMPosING
FLOURISH
1t is reported by telegraph, on the
strength Of a letter from Murfrees
boro, that General Rosecrans has
issued ALI order prohibiting the Gin
cinnati Enquirer and Chicago Times
from circulating in the Army of the
Cumberland AS the Cincinnati
Enquirer Is not aauare that 1t has ans
circulation an the Arnay Of the Cum
beTland, the question whether Of
not the report be true is not one il
which we are practically much inter
ested. The act of prohibition, how
ever much comfort it may afford the
officer by whom it is published, il
rather an imposing flourish than :
damaging blow. 1t may, if carried
into vigilant execution, diminish th'
sales of the Enquirer by dozei
or SO; and if, at this very limi
ted expense to us, General Rose
Grams is enabled to get up a brillian
exposition of his own loyalty ant
patriotism, we are willing, in con
sideration Of old friendship, that h.
shall prohibit until he is entirel,
satisfied. -.
