ties with those of the Revolution, and
that the sincere thanks of this House are
hereby rendered to Major General Geo.
B. Mcclellan for the display of those
high military qualities which secure i'm
portant results with but little sacrifice oi
human life.
Let Democrats bear this testimony in
mind and when efforts are made to belit.
tie General McClellan's great service te
the state, let this significant testimony o.

Hospital vet<s. ~

The Washington correspondent Of the.
st. Louis Republican says:
"REPUBLIoAN 'sTRAws:'
"The supporters of Mr.. Lineoln are new
engaged in canvassing the various hos
pitfalls in this city, and whenever it is feaad
a majority Of the inmates are for Lincoln
vste is taken and the result ostensibly
paradsd in Administration papers as in
dicating the sentiments Of the army. The
votes of some hospitals which gave Nc
Clellan more than the canvassers liked to
admit, were suppressed and in several No
vote was taken, thorough canvass hav-
ing indicated majorities for Mcclellan
The officers hospital in Gsorgstown gave
the largest majority for Lincoln; but as
many Of the inmates refused to vote al
the start, and afterward vstsd very relue-
family for Lincoln the Significance Of the
straw may we'll be questioned. When it
is remembered that the inmates of all our
hospitals are subject to the influence Of
the sanitary and Christian. Commissions,
which now appear to be transformed ints
political organizations to secure Lincelp
the army vote, it will surprise any sns
that many of the poor soldiers committed
to their tender mereies do violence to
their truo sentiments in these clap trap
elections. s eSzs ssE
1.-The time selected fer holding these
elections is payday, and the yste Of eve
ry soldier is recorded en- the margin Of
the pay roll. This is done for the double
purpose ofholding him to his bargain,
and of canvassing the army vete in time to
apply whatever influence may be discev-
cred necessary in order to make it acce p
table to the Administration
How characteristic that is of this Adj,
ministration.

twenty oil springs in Crawford county.
extending over an area of about ten miles
squarc. on Little Blue liver and its
tributaries-Otter Fork. West Fork. and
Turkey Fork.-at some Of which the oil
can be collected ana bottled. 1t has been
examined by competent Judges. who say it
is of an excellent quality. There are hun
dreds Of other placre which cannot prop
erly be called springs" wLere the oil can
be seen on the surface Of the water. The
Doolittle Spring on the West Fork. comes
oot in the side of the creek. the bed rock
of which is saturated with oil so strongly
that it will blaze for several minutes. till
the oil is consumed. The same kind OF
rock is fonnd all along West Fork and
Otter Fork. and in the deep hollows that
empty into either of them. The creek and
valley lands have been leased by different
companies.

expedition cut loose from their communi-
cations. their destiny is unknown. The

Augusta to the Atlantic coast. This looks
reasonable; for at Macon Hoods COM
