TOLEDO, o., Sept 5.-The Society of
the Army of the Tennessee began its
tWenty-firSt annual reunion in this city
this morning. By Q o'clock tie CORR
doris of the Body house, where the So
ciety has its headquarters, were
thrOnged with the officers who had led
the commands to victory in the long
days OF the war, and many memories Of
those stirring times were revived. The
most prominent figure of the assem-
blage was the stopped form of Gen. w.
L. Sherman, with his white locks
crowned by rusty Derby and his gray
beard trimmed so closely as to reveal
the contour of his jaws. Wearing a
blue cutaway coat and a waistcoat
fastened with brass buttons, and
with cigar clenched in his
teeth, he was always the center of
interest and laughed and ioked with
every one. After obtaining badges and
registering the veteran commanders
formed in line on Madison street and
marched to Memorial hall. 'Old
TecumSeh," arm in arm with Col. Day
ton. of Cincinnati, whose luxurious
uidCh iHuSbdCHC anu ll1ptIldl aspect
give him at once decidedly French and
tiercely Warllke appearance, headed the
procession. The members gathered in
the annex, and at 1880 O'Clock Gen.
Sherman, as president, called the meet
ing to order. He congratulated those
present, and expressing sorrow for the
ABSENT ONES AT REST,
stated that they would at once proceed
to the business of the meeting. The
reading of the journal was dispensed
with. A committee on the selection of
officers was appointed, as follows: Gen.
w. w. Balknap, Gen. Leggett, Gen.
Miller, Gen. Green B. Raum and Mai.
Everest. A committee was also APP
pointed to select date and place for hold
ing the neqt annual meeting. Next fol-
lowed the annual reports of the officers.
The treaSurer'S report showed the so
ciety to be in good condition financially,
having over LOCO worth of govern
ment bonds. The treasurer, Gen. M.
f. Force. rendered his resignation,
which was reluctantly accepted. Gen
Green b. Raum reported from the Gen..
Logan monument committee that the
government would erect the pedestal,
and the monument will be placed in
prominent and attractive location in
Washington. The business having been
transacted according to programme,
Gen. G. NJ. Dodge, of Council Bluffs,
To-, appointed by Gen. Sherman to
read paper on his personal experience
and observations, was introduced. The
paper was well written, and was re-
cefved with much applause. 1t con-
tanned most interesting account of the
building of the Union Pacific railway,
whereby the two
OCEANS WE'RE LINKED TOGETHER,
and with which, it will be remembered,
Gen. Dodge was prominently identified.
At O'Clock this afternoon the members
of the society were taken out for ride
through the city in carriages. This
evening a reception was rendered to the
members. with addresses of welcome by
Mayor Hamilton on behalf Of the
city, and by Lieut.. Gov. Lyon on be-
half of abe state. to both of which Gen.
Sherman will respond. The business,
including the election of officers, will
he concluded tomorrow.
