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)

2637 - H July 5: 1/3 - The remnant of the gallant 8th Ohio regiment re-
turned from Washington yesterlay by train. They were given breakfast
at Wheeler and Russell's dining hall, where they were welcomed by Mayor
Senter on behalf of the city. He said in part:
"It is with feelings of pride commingled with deep sorrow that I, on
behalf of our city and the military committee welcome you, after your
years of hardships in the field, to your return to peaceful life.
"But my pride is checked in its exultation as I look upon your
meagre ranks and sorrow saddens my heart.
"Where are those thousand brave and stalwart men who went forth for
their country's peace? Alas! Bones whitening on vast battlefields,
unmarked mounds in devastated regions, and leathsome prison houses only
Can anSWer.
"Thank God you, few as you are, have been spared - spared, not mere-
ly to be an abiding comfort to loving friends and an honor to your
country, but for the higher purpose of reminding us continually, by
