Gov. Andrew heads the LIST Of well-kDown
citizens who present the Massachusetts petition
TO the people Of that State. He is supposed to
be- to say the least as well informed as any
body on subjects affecting the comfort and wei
fare OF Massachusetts, soldiers, and he urges Con-
gress to pass a law providing for uniform am
bulance and hospital system for the armies OF
the United States. And though there are oppo-
nents of change in this as in all other matters,
there can scarcely be anybody who should DE
opposed to an investigation of the whole buSi'
ness by Congress-; and that is all which petit
ton can effect. If the present system has mer-
its. an investigation will be sure to disclose
them and the public will be gratiied ard re-
lcved by their discovery. II, on the other hand,
it has no merits, it ought to be swept away, and
good system devised and put in its place. Only
LET us have the matter thoroughly examined by
Congress and understood by the people. Let
the fact DO established that our wounded sol,
ders are, under the present system, left to sui-
fer on the battlefield for want Of competent
ambulance system, and neither Congress nor
the Medical Bureau, nor General Headquarters,
nor the War Department, will be disposed to
resist the universal demand for a reform.

of peace, TO keep up the military system Of

ringing on either youth or age, and we do
earnestly exhort our citizens Of the town,

that something should be done, and mill

The CoNFEDERAT RAID INTO North.
West VIRaINIA.--We have information,
the truth Of which we can, vouoh for, as, to
the results accomplished by the forces un.
der Generals Jones and Int mboden. Alarge
number Of cattle estimated at 4, ,00O were
regularly purchased for the Government
and brought away, and will be Of the ut
most value to..the army Of the Confederacy.
Many horses, probably $500, were also
brought away, Of which number near Z, ,o0o
were irregularly taken BY Gen. Jones cav
alry-thatis, taken just as the Yankees
took the horses Of the people in this part Of
the State during their recent raid but nm:
fortunately, with this difference, that anum.
ber Of the horses taken in Northwestern
Virginia belonged to men (and even women3
of known Southern sympathies.
Gen. Jones' cavalry, after doing much
damage to the Baltimore and Ohio. and the
Northwestern Virginia Railroads, and 9th
erwise annoyig 6 and frightening the Tories
aud Yankees, moved forward to Clifton, in
Writ County, and destroyed that place, to:
gether with all the oil fixtures and facilities,
Under late improvements the oil had been
shipped in large, tight boats, in volumes, to
the Ohio river, and there put.into barrelsor
other vessels. In these, boats they found
10000 barrels e, ,000,00 gallons) Of oil,
which they emptied into the river and
burned, thus literally asetting the river on
fire." The property here destroyed was
probably worth FIVE millions Of dollars.
AT sumnerville our forces under limbo
den captured q train of 81 fine wagons,
each drawn bysix splendid mules, and4aden
with needed conmissary stores, General
Jones rejoined Gen. Imboden atthis place.
The whole force then fell back to some.
point which we shall not designate.
