"My Dear General :- I wish with all my heart it were pos- sible for me to be at the reunion of the 112th, to which you so kindly invite me, but my duties here will forbid. * * * Give my most cordial good wishes and kindest remembrances to the officers and men of that gallant regiment. All of them, from their gallant Colonel down to the humblest private, are very dear to me, for our comradeship was of a kind not likely to grow dull in its influence upon us.
Give my special regards to Col. Dow, when you meet him, and to Major Wells.
* * Let me hear from you, and believe me always sincere- ly, your friend,
J. D. Cox.
TO GENERAL THOMAS J. HENDERSON."
On the 21st day of June the regiment embarked on the cars at Greensboro for Chicago. On the 8th of October, 1862, tlie regiment had embarked on the cars at Peoria for the field, nine hundred and forty strong. It now numbered four hun- dred and thirty-eight officers and enlisted men, and some of these were recruits whose terms of enlistment expired with the regiment. Five hundred men who went out with the regiment did not return with it. Some had been discharged, otliers transferred, and some were absent, sick or wounded; but many of them slept their last sleep on the hill-sides and in the valleys, in the forests and upon the plains of the South, where they had fallen fighting the battles of their country. Upon

HISTORY OF THE 112TH ILLINOIS.
the National Flag and Colors of the regiment were inscribed : "Kentucky," "Monticello," "East Tennessee," "Campbell's Sta- tion," "Knorrille," "Bean's Station," "Dandridge," "Atlanta," "Resaca," "Kenesaw," "Utoy Creek," "Nashville," "Columbia," "Franklin," "Wilmington,""Fort Anderson;" and these inscrip- tions marked the places of their fall.
Many had died of wounds in Field or General Hospitals, and others of disease ; while many others had died of disease and starvation, of neglect and cruelty in Southern prison pens. The dead of the regiment lie buried in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia -- and in many Northern cemeteries where they had died at hospitals. Peace be to their ashes ! We shall never see them more, until we meet them in that unknown, undiscovered country, that bourne whence no traveler returns, where we shall greet them as long absent friends, and recognize them as comrades of yore.
The regiment proceeded by rail, by way of Danville and Pe- tersburg, to City Point, on the James River, and embarked there on the 23d, on the steamer "General Thomas," and sail- ed down the James River and up Chesapeake Bay to Balti- more, Md. Here the regiment again took cars and continued the journey homeward by the Pensylvania Central railroad.
Near York, Pa .. as Serg. William P Ballentine, of Co. F, was standing on a car, while the train was passing under a low bridge, his head struck the bridge and he was severely in- jured-the only accident that occurred on the journey home. Serg. Ballentine was left in hospital at Harrisburg, but subse- quently recovered and returned home.
The regiment reached Pittsburg, Pa., at 6 o'clock in the af- ternoon, on Sunday the 25th. A bountiful supper had been prepared, and the regiment was invited to march to a large hall and partake of the city's hospitality. Speeches of welcome, and congratulation upon the close of the war and triumph of the Union cause were made, which were responded to by Gen. Henderson and others of the regiment. The galleries were crowded with ladies and gentlemen who welcomed the boys in blue with smiles and cheers, and showered upon them beauti- ful bouquets ; and handsome ladies waited upon the tables. It was a hearty welcome to "God's Country," by God's people.

ARRIVAL IN CHICAGO.
The 112th Illinois was not an exception ; but every regiment which passed through Pittsburg was given the same hearty re- ception.
All along the line of travel, in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi- ana, the people flocked to the stations and along the line of road and welcomed the returning soldiers with cheers and way- ing handkerchiefs and bouquets of flowers ; and wherever the train stopped they crowded upon the platform to shake hands with the boys who had fought their battles and assisted in con- quering an everlasting peace.
The regiment arrived in Chicago at one o'clock in the morn- ing of the 27th of June : landed near Camp Douglas, and marched through the darkness to the barracks. Not a man there to show the way ; not a man to bid them welcome. All was dark, silent and indifferent. Many of the officers and men went home the same day, and returned before the time of final discharge.
On the 6th of July, 1865, the regiment was paid and finally dis- charged from the service, and that evening the men-no longer soldiers-embarked on the cars and returned to their homes,
At Geneseo those who returned by that route were met by the citizens and cordially welcomed ; and a banquet, such as only the generous, loyal, patriotic people of Geneseo can pro- vide, was given to the returned soldiers; and in every town and neighborhood the boys were received with open arms and joyful hearts. The war was over. The enemies of the country had been subdued, and peace restored to the Nation. All ov-
er the North there was joy and happiness and thanksgiving.
A million Union soldiers doffed their blue uniforms, donned citizens' clothing, and were soon lost to view in the busy work- shops, upon the farms, and in the various vocations of life.
The great Union armies disappeared as suddenly as they had sprung into existence. Again the world witnessed anoth- er scene it had never looked upon before. The Grand Army of the Republic rapidly dissolved; its veteran soldiers laid aside the arms and accoutrements of war, returned to the peaceful pursuits of civil life, and resumed their former places in the communities where they resided as quietly and uncon- cernedly as if nothing unusual had occurred.
