Arriving the designated place, the gathering was called to order by the President, Nicholas P. Cook, prayer being offered by the Rev. J.Q. hall, of the Presbyterian church, of this city. The quartette of vocalist, to the deep regret of the managers of the Reunion, for some reason, utterly disappointed them, and as a consequence, the boys had to do their own singing, which, after a break or two, they did very well. Comrade Dawson was called to the chair to officiate as manipulator of the program, and after a few remarks of a telling nature, introduced Mayor Royse, who had bee selected to make the Address of Welcome, and splendidly, eloquently and patheticly did he fulfill his part, as he always does. His address was at times most touching, and in many faces we saw the starting tear, as the Mayor, in his deep-toned, impassioned manner, touched upon the "unreturning braves" whose unknown graves are scattered all over the South.	Following Mayor Royce, Comrade Rich delivered quite an address in place of the speakers, who at the last moment disappointed the management also, and he again was followed by several others, whose names we could not get. The Camp Fire broke up at a late hour, all having had a very pleasant time. At 8 o'clock this morning, under the lead of Bass's Drum Corp, the survivors of the Seventy-fourth wended their way to Lakeside Park, where they were to attend to the business features of the Reunion, the election of officers, and fixing upon a place for the next Reunion. This afternoon they will be the guests of the Beyer Brothers, at Spring Fountain Park, and will be shown the Cyclorama of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. The boys have apparently has a very pleasant time at their Sixth Annual Reunion, and were loud in their praises of the hospitality extended them by the people of Warsaw. Reunion Notes. Jerry Kuder, known to every one, was greeted most cordially by his old comrades. Jerry is among the few Indiana boys who received a Congressional Medal-an emblem which he is now wearing. At about 4 o'clock all the members of the Regiment present were assembled in front of the Court-house and had their photographs taken. This will be quite a souvenir of the Warsaw meeting in after years. S. B. Gay, of Etna Green, attended the Reunion of his regiment, of course, and also gave this office a call. While here he ordered a copy of The Indianian Republican sent to a friend in Ohio - an example that other could follow to advantage. Joseph Kelly made quite an improvement in registering the names of the member of the regiment, as they arrived, taking down their names in alphabetical order and designating a department in his book for each company and for the field and staff, making it a very convenient arrangement. Elias Popham, of Minneapolis, Kansas, came back to his old home in this county to attend the reunion of the Seventy-fourth - his old regiment. Mr. Popham was wounded at Chickamauga , and also carried off the field of Jonesboro, Ga., receiving his second wound at that place. He was glad to be once more with is old comrades. A large number of the survivors of the Seventy-fourth gave this office a call during their visit to the city. We are always glad to meet any one who, unlike Daniel W. Voorhees, was true to the country when that country needed their services. Dan spouts a good deal now about being a friend to the soldier, but then it was dangerous for the gentleman to ride on the same train with soldiers - owing to a difference of opinion on a very important question.
