HOW OHIO CARES FOR HER sOLDIERs-THE RE.
TURNED PRISONERS AT ANNAPOLIS.
ONO STATE MILITARY AGRNoY,


WASHINGTON, D. o., Nov. %, 1854.
To His E1celEency, John Brough, Gov
ernor of Ohio, Columbus, Ohio.
SIR:-I have the honor to state that l Rua
in receipt of report from d. Reese, Esq
dated Annapolis. Md, Nov. q, 1864, in
which be says "The mission on which you
sent nae to this place has been one OF mingled
puin and pleasure. Il is painful TO see The
destitutioH aud suffering our men had been
made to endure by a people claiming civiliza
zion and Christianity. They could not have
been worse Of savage enemy. These brave
men, as they landed from the boats, presented
q spectacle Of suffering that osRgars discFip'
ton. Many were without shirts or pants
nothing but loose blanket to cever their ma
kedness The tass Of destitution and rebel
cruelty related by the men are heart-rending
But on the other hand, it is pleasure to have
Government officials on hand ready to supply
each man with an outfit Of clothing and raiiena
as soon as he lands We made ii point to
supply those email cOnvenisncies to Ohio men,
which the Government did not supply, such
as pens, pencils, paper, stamps, soap, combs
brushes, &c, which were thankfully received
and expressions like the following were com
mon among the hoys :-"Ohio 'akos care Of
her men," "OhiO is cur mOther-God bless
her !" mo State like Ohio, hurrah for
Ohiow
Some two hundred Ohio men have already
arrived The box OF stationery sent by you
was God send 20 the men. l send by Mr..
Van Ofenbacker the names already obtained,
and will keep you apprsod of the daily ar
rivals. Ohio is the only State represented
here"
Mr.. Ofsnbacker returned from Annapolis
this morning He spent yeL @rday in min
iStering 10 cur men. He says =, expressed
the greatest delight in their being member
ed by the Governor and his agency. They
were more SO from tho fact that Ohio was the
only State represented on tho occasion Of the
prisoners landing.
am, Governor With much respect,
Your o6edient servant,

Ohio State Military Agent.

SWEEPING THE sTaIErs OF NEW YORK CITY.

Very few persons have any conception Of
the magnitude Of the work TO bs performed
in cleaning the streets of large city like
New York, The Herald, in an article on the
subject remarks:
There are two hundred and sixly-Oight miles
Of paved streets in this city, averaging thirty
three feet in width. This gives Ru area Of
enc thousand one hundred and thirty y-nine
acres 10 be cleaned. The city inspector has
the whole area swept every fortnight about
one-hslf is swept twice every fortnight! about
one-quarter is swept three times three hun
dred and forty-fve acres are oeased six times,
and seventy five, twelve times, in the same
space OF time. This is equivalent to cleaning
three thousand and five hundred and fifty three
acrea once 10 two weeks. In addition to this
work the ash carts traverse every mile of the
streets, ou each side, every day, Sundays ex-
ceptsd. This is equivalent to traversing five
hundred aud thiriy-six miles day, and con-
veys soma idea Of the extent Of this magniG-
cent metropolis. The expense for street clean
ing last year was $685. .223.

roo MUCH MONEY.

A gentleman OF this city inferms US that a
certain farmer down in the Morgan county
oil region, had a tract Of land which be held
before the oil excitement broke out, Mt $9,-
00G. After some valuable wells had been sunk
in the neighborhood, and the old mans ideas
Of the oleaEenous wealth in his hills began to
expand, he dared TO ask $4,000 for his pos
sessions Boon the Eastern capitalists began
to come in, and the farmer had TO 60 little
higher. II was the home OF bis ancestors, .
regular family institution" which was dear TO
him, and he did not sell. Bidder after bidder
came arOund, aud the old gentleman thought
he would frighten all away by asking 940,-
600. Crccsus, with bis fAbulus millions, never
felt more confused than the farmer did with
bis farm, which had been so suddenly converted
into gold. Things continued in this condition
for few days, when two gentlemen from
New York called on him, about the same hou r
of the day, representing different opposition
companies One OF them offered him his
price, forty thousand. Before he had time
to consider the bid the other offered $45, ,00e
Resolving on something reckless, the old fell
low put the farm up al auction, aud before
night sold it for $5l 500. The money was
paid to him on the spot and a more uneasy
man cannot be found in Morgan county He
has too much money. We pity him. Zanes-

A nREAr RAIIRaAp uNpER1AKInn.

The work Of tunneling the Alps for rail-
road purposes is SO slow, compared with the
necessities Of internal trade and travel between
France and Italy, that II is contemplated to
build a railroad over the mountains on one OF
the military roads constructed by the first
Napoleon. This tunnel will not be completed
in less than twelve years, but the railroad can
be built in two. When is is remembered shat
the summit Of the pass through the mountains
is seven thousand feet above the level Of the
sea, with gradients in some points Of one in
twelve, the descent equally rapid, the difficult
ties Of the undertaking may be imagined A
locomotive expressly for such ascents and de-
scents has been constructed. The railway
will be covered with CALLERS Of wood, iron and
stone, to protect it from avaauches and snow
drifts. The project has been favorable reoeiv-
ed by the Italian government, and English
capitalists propose TO build it. 1t will shorten
the overland route to Iudia five hundred
miles.

LUTHER's FATTH.

Il vas faith which gave Luther this clear
ness off vision :''I have lately seen two mir,
acIes, - be says "the first, as I was looking out
of my window and saw the stars in heaven and
all that beautiful vaulted roof of God, and yet
saw no pillars on which the Master builder
had fixed his vault; yet the heavens fell not,
but all that grand arch stood firm. Now,
there are some who search for such pillars aud
want 10 touch and grasp them, and, since they
can not, wonder and trembla as if the heaven
must certainly fall, for no other reason but
because they can not touch and grasp its pill
lars. If they could lay hold on those, they
think, then the heaven would stand firm
"The second miracle was, I saw great clouds
rolling over Us, with such ponderous weight
that they might be compared 10 great ocean,
and yet saw no fousdAtion on which they
rested or were based, nor any shore which
kept them back, get they fal! not on US, but
frowned on Us with q stern countenance and
fed. But when they had passed by, then
shone forth their foundation and our reof
which had kept them back-lhe rainbow =
Yet that was indeed q weak, thin, slight found
alton and roof, which soon melted away into
the clouds, and was more liks a shadowy
priaul, such as we see through colored glass,
than strong and firm foundation so that
we might we'll distrust the feeble dyke which
kept back that terrible weight OF waters. Yet
we found, in fact, that this unsubstantial prism
could bear up the weight Of waters, and that
it guards us safely. But there are some who
lock rather at the thickness and massy weight
of the waters and clouds, than this thin,
slight narrow bow of promise. They would
like to feel the strength Of that shadowy, evan
escent arch, and because they cannot do this,
they are forever fearing that the clouds will
bring back the deuge."

AUTUMN LEAVES.

how beautiful appear the Autumn leaves,
Tho tagged with Natures variegated eye
Yon lsafet, shaken by Ihe Autumn breezs,
Seems like trembling tear in beauty's eye
Yon golden forest, frinEsd with varied huss,
More beautiful appears, tho in decay,
Than robei il Spring 3 green mantle 80 profuse,
Famed by the Eephyrs Of exulting May.
Why sigh we that ths leaves must fade awAy2
So fades brightest dream that yoCth has known
Should Nature triumph in her folds gay,
Ger hearts whose blossoms the past are
stroWns
Iife's most congenial showers naught but tears
Its brigh must know dark eclipse,
It's fondest hopes rife with bodiDa fears
Mans sweetest cap turns bitter ere he sips.
As weary Nature seeks short repose,
And drops her treasures in the lap Of earth
Thus doth the heart oppressed with human woes,
Yield up each Offering treasured from is birth
What is there saddening7 these pale leaves that
fall,
are emblen5 Of my life and its decay
So ] al last must Welcome DEATHS dark pail,
When called 20 pass frem this lone earth away.

So many hopes brighten when Hfe's rugged sire ,
