The single gun which always saluted the arriving regiments gathered at once from their homes the noblest of her citizens to give aid to the tired soldiers. At Alexandria a day and a half were spent, and the men made the most of the time. A circus was showing there that day and in the afternoon nearly the entire regiment visited it, many also spending the evening at the theatre. When the regiment arrived at its old camp on Cole's Hill on March 20, the men found that it was occupied by the Seventh Michigan which had returned from its furlough some time before. They were obliged, therefore, to bivouack on top of the hill in the open air and found when they awoke on the following morning that there had been a snow storm and they were covered with several inches of it. For a few days, until the regiment could prepare a suitable camp, the men were divided among the camps of the Fifteenth Massachusetts and the Seventh Michi

At every station on the road, booming guns, ringing bells cheering, and joyous shouts greeted the train. It stopped just outside the city of Salem and the men alighted, formed line and marched into the city from the South Fields amid the firing of cannon, the ringing of bells and the cheering of a great crowd of people. After a short parah the principal streets, the regiment was taken to Essex Hall, where another bountiful spread was served by the ladies of Salem; but, having eaten so much in Boston, the men did not eat heartily here. There was a Welcome Home speech from the mayor of Salem, another from General Sutton of the Cadets, brilliant music and an outpouring of love and warm greetings. From the hall the regiment marched to the common where it exhibited its perfect discipline and matchless skill in a drill and dress

To the honor of the regiment it should be mentioned that during the time it was on furlough in Massachusetts, no one of its members was under restraint by the civil authorities and the command reported in the field with every veteran originally furloughed. There were with it, also, a number of deserters who had been apprehended by the officers. The regiment re-assembled in the state camp at Wenham and at 2.30 P.

The next event was on April 22, when Lieutenant General Grant, with other general officers, reviewed the Second Army Corps. After the general review, the Nineteenth Massachusetts, under Lieut. Col. Rice, and the Twentieth Massachusetts under Major H. L. Abbott, were selected by Major General Hancock to drill at Headquarters, Second Division, in the presence of the commander-in-chief. The many generals present, including Lieut. Gen. Grant, and Generals Meade, Hancock, Humphreys, Warren, Sedgwick, Gibbon and Sheridan, expressed much satisfaction with the admirable discipline and perfect construction of both regiments. After the Nineteenth Massachusetts had been drilled in the manual, the Twentieth Massachusetts gave an exhibition drill in fancy batallion movements in heavy marching order. General Meade sa
