an incident that is truly wonderful:

been acquainted with the poor fellow 10 the
mines, wrote letter to DR. Tlden, making
inquiries concerning him, which letter the
doctor answered at once, and nothing fur
ther transpired until the doctor received q
lcllCT from Tue uldu IL LUG A1oby az

and also the daguerreotypes of her children.
She wrote to her husband in the German
language, and the letter which the doctor
received was transcript of what she had
written TO her husband. The doctor took
the daguerreotypes and presented ihem to
the man, or rather held them steadily be
fore him. He appeared to gaze calmly at
the pictures, and in short time the organs
of vision appeared to be more fixed and his
look more Intensified, until at length he
hurst into tears and exclaimed: Ea'f-

who have been decorated with medal earned
by honorable conduct in battle. A letter pub
lished in Saturdays Philadelphia Inquirer
brings some further interesting particulars
respecting this presentation.
The Kearney Crosses are of bronze, made
in the form of Maltese cross, and intended to
be fastened to the coat with a bar and pin.
The presentation is an act of private munifi-
cence, Mr.. George Bullock, of Philadelphia,
furnishing the medals at his own cost.
The first two persons invested with these
honorable badges were Mary, the good and
brave vivandiere of the Hath Pennsylvania,
and Mrs. Anna Etheridge, formerly of the I'd
Michigan but now attached to Gen. Haymen's
staff. The ceremony of presentation was very
impressive. AS soon as the several brigades
had settled into partial quiet, the colonies
stepped to the front of their commands, and.
calling aloud the name of the party to be
honored, ordered him to step four PAGES to
the front. Those selected were formed in line,
marched to the center of the square and faced
to the front. Major General Sickles then rode
to the front, stated to them the object of the
gathering, recapitulated the doings of the Kear-
ney division, and said that Birney was his fit
successor. After the speech had been conclu-
ded, the medals were brought forward, deliv-
cred into the hands ofthe commanders, and by
them at once distributed to the men.

Rev. GEO. BoswoRTH:
Dear Sir-The box which you specially
allude to in your letter of the ninth of this
month, came to hand to-day-late enough GER
tainly, but we watch the depot, and freight does
not wait there. All boxes are not so long in
coming. This box will be sent at once, as you
wish.
1t is to be regretted that Mrs. Eaton's health
required her to. leave the field for the present
only, hope. 1t is unpleasant for her cola
borer, Mrs. Fogg, TO be alone in the work.
The moral effect of the presence of good sem
sibe women among our camps cannot be told,
but can be appreciated by every right minded
man; their usefulness as nurses is too well
known to be doubted.
As to the labors of the Agent 10 Washing
ton it may not be we'll for me to say much.
We try to do our duty promptly, saying moth
ing of the arduous work of visiting hospitals,
making reports, looking after needy men, &C.
The work of getting the soldiers accounts
settled with the Departments, is OF such in
terest to our men, and so difficult to perform
in many instances, that the graces of hope
and patience almost fail. A mistake on de-
scriptive list, or the want of it from neglect of
somebody, will require days and sometimes
weeks to correct. The same difficulty occurs
with other papers.
Very truly yours.
