Local Miscellany.—A public reception was given

to the 104th Pennsylvania Regiment, on Tuesday last, in

Philadelphia.  The veterans were welcomed home by Col.

Wm. F. Small, on behalf of the city authorities, in a neat

speech.  Col. W. W. H. Davis responded in an appropriate

manner.  The procession was then formed and the route

previously agreed upon was passed over.  The escort con-

sisted of the Henry Guards, Captain John Spear.  The

regiment was frequently cheered along the route.

The Philadelphia Dial says that when the 104th Pennsyl-

vania Regiment, on Tuesday last, was passing down Chestnut

Street, and when near Sixth, and opposite the Common-

wealth building, the head quarters of the Union Campaign

Club, they were greeted with vociferous cheers from the

men present at the rooms.  Directly opposite is the room of

the Democratic State Central Committee.  But not a word

came from the lips of the men there !
