Then breathes q few brave words and brief,

Shells holy blood as e'er the sod

ohio,s Care for her Sick and wounded.

The Legislature, during its late session ap-
propriated SIO5,0O0 and put that amount in
the hands of the Executive for distribution in
caring for the sick and wounded soldiers of
Ohio. Gov. Tod has divided this amount into
the appropriations named below, in which he
intends TO spend this sum:
In te!cgraphing to soldiers and their flmi-
lies. and with the Government at Washington,
$4,000.
Fifty State surgeons have been appointed,
all good men. Their pay and expenses are
estimated at 500 per month, which, during
the nine months recess of the Legislature, will
cost S45 600.
Agencies have been established at Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cairo, aud Bellaire, 10 look
up soldiers in want Of food and transportation.
Their estimated expenses are 81. GOO each.
twenty-five hundred dollars bave been APP
propriated as travelling expenses to the moth
ers and wives ofthc sick soldiers, in passing
to and from the hospitals.
Six pay-agents have been appointed to fol
low the paymasters and receive the soldiers
pay and transmit it to their friends, whose ex-
penses arc estimated at 81 900 each.
Six steamers have been sent to Pittsburg
Landing, and four more are to be sent, at
cost Of So, 800 each.
To the Soldiers, Home at Cincinnati, 81, :
600 has been appropriated.
These items foot up S99 800, leaving only
$1,000 back to be applied in contingencies
which may arise. We doubt if any State has
done as much, all things considered, for her
soldiers, as Ohio.

MoEE DELAWARE REoRUrTs.-- W c have had
a revival Of the times witnessed in our town
one year ago. Monday afternoon a dispatch
was received from the Governor, announcing
that the National Capital was again consider
ed in danger, and calling for a company of
volunteers from our county for immediate
duty. The enthusiasm of April and May,
1861, broke forth aaew-a meeting was held
speeches made, the drumand Gle werea again heard
on the streets, and notwithstanding the large
drafts heretofore made on our young men,
some seventy OF them Immediately enrolled
their names, and took the first southern bound
train for Columbus. This noble response to
the call for moro men shows the spirit that
animates our people and illustrates what would
be done in the way of raising an additional
force did the cxgencies of the times demand
it,

eight dead, including several officers,
and sixty-six wounded. 4 hundred
prisoners were captured, among them
Lieutenant Colenel Finney, Major
Edger, and others. Three hundred
stand of arms were taken. In the
evening, to secure their retreat, they
burned Greenbrier bridge, beyond
which they could not be pursued.
Crooks victory was only won by
hard fighting against greatly superior
forces. We lost IA killed, sixty
wounded, and FIVE pickets captured.
Some of our wounded were shot in
the streets of Lewisburg, as they were
returning to the hospital by the citi-
zens of the town.
