LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS Wehave look
ed carefully over the proceedings of the Leg
sIature but can find little that would be of
special interest to our readers. While the

votes, deSultory remarks and regular routine
would be voluminous for weekly paper.
We shall give our readers all the General
Laws as fast as they are published by the
State paper, and all local and special laws
i'll reference to our city and county.

crude Pennsylvania oils, and will yield 20
per cent. more Of the refined article than the
former. Its specific gravity is 40 degrees
That of the Pennsylvania oil ranges from

TAG remains OF The gallant Colonel Nut

THE remains OF the gallant Colonel Mul-
Iipan. the hero ofLexington, Missouri, and
of many a sharp and dangerous, encounter
in West Virginia, arrived at Cumberlana
Yesterday. he fell at Winchester on the
Inflated 25th, at the time of the rout OF
our troops, having been wounded, as we
understand, twice after he fell, andwhile
he was being borne away. ,'' -''.
One of the interesting incidents con-
nec,ed with his death is the devoted hero
ism evinced by his noble wife. Hearing
of his probable fate last Tuesday she d
once left Cumberland in government am
bulauce in search of him, turning deal
ear to all suggestions made to her as e
the risks she ran. and knowing and caring
for nothing else but the fate of her gallant
husband. She travelled day and night
more than a hundred miles, went through
the enemy's lines and pursued her inqui
ries until she traced up the spot where
her husband was lying, and where, sad to
tell, he had died only q few honrs before
her arrival.
Procuring coffin she bEoughl back the
remains as far as Hancock in the ambu-
lance, and there taking the cars arrived
with them yesterday morning in Oumoer-
land. Such woman was worthy to have
been the wife of 80 gallant a soldier as
Col. Mulligan. Those who have seen her
will not be surprised at this heroic attes-
tatiop of her high womauhood. She is p
very unusual woman and as such gave
strength and character to the Union cause
at Cumberland.
Col. Mulligan, as all our readers may
know, was from Chicago, and commanded
the 23d Qrlsh) Illinois regiment. he had
been once offered brigadier generalship
after the battle of Lexington, but refused
it under the circumstances, preferring to
enlist a special regiment of his own, and
share it's fortunes in the service. His
wife will leave Cumberland this morning
With the remainsI and We presume will
,ross the. river at Benwood. Gen. Kelly
n despatch yesterday to Gov. Boremsp,
paid the following handsome tribute to the
ALLEN soldier: ....z s 4.arl
The remains of the gallant Col. Multi
gan. arrived here this morning from Win
chester, Va, where he fell on the 25th inst,
his devoted wife having passed through
the lines, on Tuesday, reached Winchester
q few hours after he had breathed his last.
She returned this A. NJ, with the remains
and will proceed to Chicago to morrow
morning. .ss..E
By the death of Col. Mulligan, West Viz
l., s..
and the country an able and gallant defen-
der. l am happy to inform you that Mrs.
Mulligan was treated by General Early and
his offcors, with marked courtesy and
great kindness, receiving prompt and eff
cient assistance to remove the remains of
the gallant hero within the Federal lines.
