The names of Henry {. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov

called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tne several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the ''MiIture' appeared to be highly
recomme nded, and by men who do not 90 such
things on slight grounds and, after Pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that 1t would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought 1t was proper Tor him to 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back or
