2633 - L June 27:4/3,4 - Three years ago, the 7th Ohio regiment left for
the battle front, a thousand strong. After many heroic battles this
celebrated regiment, now scarcely 200 strong, came back today.
Fire bells and clanging of all kinds announced their arrival at "-
seven o'clock at the depot. People arrived by the thousands; mothers
and sons, brothers and sisters met them with great joy. • * ~ *
The regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel McClellan,
filed around to where the tables were spread and had breakfast; then
they marched up to the square. Crowds of people and flags were every-
where.
J. C. Grannis, city attorney, spoke as follows: "You, and those who
went with you, whether present here today, or absent, whether among the
living, or the dead, shall be forever after held in grateful remembrance."
Governor Brough said: "You have been in a school and under a dis-
cipline which has taught you many things. You have learned one thing
amid the carnage of battle - that there are but two alternatives left
us - the one a base and cowardly submission, the other, to break the
power of the southern states. We must gain our peace by craven sub-
mission, or by annihilating the armies of the South." The reception
over, the regiment filed to Camp Cleveland. (48)
