HEADQ'Rs. RANsEUR's BRIGADE,


Mr.. EDITOR An act of Congress, approved Oc-
tober 13, 1862, provides t. that the President be,
and he is hereby authorized to confer badge of
distinction upon one private or commissioned
officer Of each company after every signal victory it
shall have assisted to achieve. The non- commits
stoned officers and privates Of the company may
choose, by majority of their votes the soldier best
entitled to receive such distinction, whose name
shall be communicated to the President; and if the
award fall upon deceased soldier, the badge shall
be delivered to his widow or if there be no widow
to any relation the President may adjudge entitled
to receive it."
have the pleasure, Sir, to forward to you for
publication the list Of those adjudged by their com.
rades to be entitled to the badge of the brave"
though it will be seen, that, in some instances,
there has existed perhaps natural indispostion to
make any discrimination.
also send you Gen. Ramseurs recent order con.
graduating his command upon their conduct. during
the recent campaign.
Very respectfully, yours,
SEATON GALES,
Asst Adjt General.

Printing Ink.

The best printing ink is made as follows. Take
ten or twelve gallons of linseed OIL set fire in
an iron pot Of twice the capacity to hold the guam
tity stated, heat to boiling, and stir at the same
time. If it does not take fire, kindle it with
piece of burning paper held in the cleft cf long
stick remove the pot from the fire, and allow the
oil to burn for half an hour or until i sample of
the burnt oil, cooled upon pallet will draw out
into strings half inch long between the fingers.
The fame is then to be extinguished by tight
cover. When the frotk Of the ebulition has subsi-
ded black rosin is added in the proportion of lbs
to every quarts Of oil, stir the mixture till the
rosin is dissolved, and then add Il lbs of brown
soap, cut in slices, Cautiously and again stir till
mixed, placing the pot once more over the fire;
remove cover and set aside. The foregoing consti-
'tutes the varnish the ink itself is composed of
finely powdered indigo and Prussian 6lue, of each
2t ounces, lamp black 81 lbs, ivory black or bone
black lbs., put them in suitable vessel and mix
gradually with the warm varnish. This mixture,
however, still requires further grinding in mill or
upon stone slab with . muller. 1t is to be re-
membered that hot weather requires a thicker var
nsh than cold, and large letters require thinner
ink than small hence. the preparation Of the var
nsh requires reference to the time and also for the
purpose for which it is to be usedor two kinds of
vanish may be prepared for the time and use de.

We are indebted to DR.. Emmons, State qeolo-
gist for the above receipt fstrictly followed we
have no doubt the very best English ink will be
the result
DEsERrERs.-We learn that the militia are per.

to one company, who have returned on an assurance
from the Governor that they would not be punished
for their absence As long as the militia do their
duty thus actively deserters and absentees will find
It no easy matter to remain at home. --.

wants n Lesson.

The pestiferous imbecile who, between
drams, writes the small-villsin paragraphs
for the editorial columns of the Cincin'
natl Commercial, is in the daily habit of
chsracterizing MS "tories, traitors, scoun-
drels, and copperheads " all who will not
get down on their bellies to Abolitionism,
aud swear that the country can be saved
by no other means than are at present put
forth by the party who have control of the
Government. His blather can only be
compared to the swapping of a fee on the
inside of a serviceable fence; remarke
only for its annoyance to the ear, aud the
incident is dismissed the moment we are
past the bounds of the contemplate little
creatures range, and the sound of its tau
talizing snarling. However, there should
be bound to this kind of thing and the
time will come when it will be abated.
We do not favor illegal violence. We
counsel against it, But it is our honest
conviction that if such dirty sneaks had
their windpipes compressed so as to make
respiration much more desirable than pos
sible. it would have the effect OF teaching
them to cultivate something like decent
style of expression when speaking of their
betters. We have read of more than one
villain who has been reformed by just such
means.

The announcement that Hon Mr. Vallan.
