8 Dr.. TEoRSHiLL.-Dr. S. r. Thornhill OF
Hudson, Surgeon of the Eighth Wis. Reg,
has recently been dismissed from the service.
A correspondent Of the SITE Journal writes
as follows -
We were astonished this morning at the re-
ception of an ordor fsoni the Secretary of War
dismIssiRg Surgeon Thornhiil of our regiment
from the service. for neglect of duty. When
or where he has been guilty of neglecting his
duty as a surgeon, we are at a loss to imagine
and the order comes entirely unthougnt of.
The fact that an accusation against him had
been made or was intended to be made by
any body, either in or out of the army, had
never come to the knowledge of the Dr., or of
any body in the regiment. We are sorry to
part with him. We have known him as one
of the best of men-with faults. of course. but
generous hearted and honorable. and every
man in the regiment had the most perfect con-
fdencs in his skill as surgeon.

end. That persons far removed from
the scene of the Indian barbarities, have
but feeble conception of their magni-
tude: of the vindictveness, subelty and
treachery of tho savage tribes, and the
means necessary to hold them IN .sublec-
ton, therefore the remonstranees and
petitions of such persons asking the par
don of these criminals, should have no
, weight with the President in determining
what disposition should be made of
them.
Sd. That no permanent peace or secu-
rity can pervade our borders, so long as
Little Crow and his band are at large,
melting to plumber, murder and rapine,
a race in whose breasts slumbef all the
cruelties of remorseless sarages, and that
we believe that sound policy and impair
tial justice demand their capture and
punishment.
4th. That the public veal, humanity
to tho red man, as well as peace and the
blessings ofcivilization to the whites, de-
mand the speedy removal of the Indian
tribes of this State beyond the borde RS
of civilization, and that sufficient force be
maintained oh the frontier to oyefa#e

the enemy drawing them on by a feigned
retreat until they fell victims to fire
from the woods on each side, which no
troops could stand.
On Sunday the enemy were driven at
all points on line fifteen miles, except
Casey's division which gained no
ground. At four O'Clock General
Mcclellan, in person, went to Casey $
troops and made speech, in which he
said the enemy were routed at all points
except there. If they did their duty
we would bag the whole rebel army in
six hours. The fighting continued until

at White House, Gasey's division still
had failed to recover its lost groupd.-
