Each regiment and battery will be assigned headquarters, thus enabling all to meet with old friends and comrades without confusion, and affording each an equal chance for the enjoyments of the •occasion. Gov. Morton will make the reception speech. Of the other speakers uso far selected more than one-half served •through the late war a S private soldiers. 'Their names will be announced as soon as the list is complete. The programme •will include a review the second day by Prest. Grant, Gen. Sherman and other distinguished officers, the regiments carding their old flags, and the wounded occupying the post of honor. Railways will furnish transportation at reduced rates, but it is recommended that each county make arrangements for special trains at special rates. Counties along the Ohio river will make their own arrangements for transportation by water to the nearest railway. This should be done without delay. Many counties are mustering their men by regiments for- the Reunion, and it is urged that this be done everywhere as the best means of securing a full attendance. Begin recruiting and drilling at once by townships. Bring out your flags, your music, and every man who wore the Union Blue, especially the disabled. Which will be the Banner County ? By order of Executive Committee.
