The Ohio Military Agency to Close
Oppression of Soldiers.


The following special letter, to the Gin
cinnati gazette possesses very special in
terest, all over Ohio:
WASHINGTON, January 10.
The Ohio Senate has unwittingly of
course, perpetrated most glarng act of
Injustice toward the State, and especially
toward every soldier, every soldiers fami-
ly, and every soldiers friend in it. The act
abolishing the Ohio Military Agency In this
city, is simply one turning the soldiers OF
Ohio over to the claim agents, and placing
the former, or their widows and orphans,
completely at the mercy of the latter. This
is in no sense oyerdrawn, and that Is exact
ly what the Legislature is about to do.
Doubtless 1t has been represented to both
Senators and Representatives, that the
functions of this office had expired with
the close OF the war, and they have voted
upon the question AS they would upon
closing d recruiting Office, or a camp or a
hospital. But the facts are that the soldiers
of the State never stood in more need of
the services Of the agency here than at this
moment. 'I'
There are over six thousand claims now
in process of settlement, aud by the bill all
of these would 90 back to Columbus, and
every one of them would 60 into the hands
of claim agents. And although the bill
0ho AohuNNb IL Sbbh AtslAlls ~ W III appear
that back of the movement stand two classes
of men: first, the claim agents, whose
prices are kept down by the agency here I;
and, second, those who, when the agent
here refused to use his influence last win
ter for the johnson men, declared that they
would see that the Legislature set the
agency aside.
1t will further appear that those high in
Executive circles have countenanced this
thing, and the soldiers of the State and the
friends of all soldiers owe it to each other
to see, in case this fraud upon them is con-
summated, that not politician who has
knowingly lent himself to this disgraeeful
proceeding, shall receive Office again Mt the
hands of the people.
| This agency here has become an institu-
ton of too much acknowledged necessity
and Importance to be voted out of existence
without debate. 1t is known here by all
as credit to Ohio, rs one of the evidences
of her proud position among the States. 1t
can in no sense be judgedby the local State
agencies. 1t has been as important during
the war as any single branch of the State
Executive and to-day Is even more i'm
Iportant than most of them.
| 1t has to do with every soldier in the
State, with every soldiers widow, and with
all the heirs of soldiers. II collects all their
claims free Of cost, and with greater
promptness and certainty than can posi-
bly, be attained by any combination OF
| agents.

EEThey bored wonderful well, al
Lodi, Ind. last week-that is, they sank an
old well some thirty three feet deeper; the
last eight through gray sandstone, with
thin strata of limestone. The last eight
feet and six inches was white, compact
crystalline limestone, or marble, hard
enough to mark glass. The well before
was discharging from two thousand to three
thousand barrels Of white sulphur water
This deepening increased the flow wonder
fully; and it is estimated the water dis.
charged would amount to from two hun.

ceeding purity and gentleness, of most
thorough conscientiousness, and of up
rightness beyond the whisper of r%eproach.
He was one of those few men who have
no enemies. Unpretending and retiring
by nature, his influence was nevertheless
widespread and powerful, from the in
trinsic merits Of his character and the
value of his opinion. Though he died in
the forty-third year of his age, few men

DEATH OF SURGEON ABBOTT.

DEATH OF SURGEON ABBOTT.
The news of the death Of Colonel
Robert o. Abbott, Brevet- Colonel and
Surgeon U. S. Army, will be heard with
regret by his many brother-officers, who
are familiar with his distinguished SER
vices. A kind, quiet, u%nassuming gentle
man in demeanor, it was his great pro-
fessional skill and energy which raised him
to the honorable distinction he acquired
and the value of his patriotic services
NAV be known from the fact that he sue
cessfuIly welded the control and man
agement Of the crowded soldiers hospi-
tails at Washington, at q time when the
patients were numbered by the ten thou
sands, and when all were open to the
comment and criticism of the public.
At the time of his death, DR.. Abbott
had finished nearly a score of years of
public service. He entered the Army in
1849, as Assistant Surgeon. and in that
year accompanied Magruder's Battery to
California. After serving about five years
on TN. Pacific coast, he was ordered East,
and served in Florida and Texas until the
outbreak of the rebellion in 1861. Dur
ing 1861, he remained on duty in New
York, busily occupied as Assistant to the
Chief Medical Purveyor. Early in 1862,
he Joined the Army of the Potomac for
its first compaign, and was made Medi-
cal Director of the Fifth Army Corps,
holding that position till after the Second
Bull Run. He was then assigned to
duty as Medical Director of the Depart
ment of Washington. He was there at
the head of the great receiving depot for
the sick and the w~oundedyof the Army Of
the Potomac, and had charge of all the
hospitals in and about Washington to-
gether with all the hospitals transports.
At some times he had more than 100000
sick men to care for.
AS may be imagined, such labors and
such responsibility were beyond human
power to withstand. His work was not
only arduous in the extreme, but inces-
SAINT and his system at length broke un-
der the overwhelming task. In the Win
ter Of 1865, when the var was over, he
was taken sick, bat remained on duty
until November, 1866. He then accept
ed six months sick leave, and went to
his home in Santa Cruz, West Indies,
returning in the latter part Of May of
this wear. On the 9Th of June a carbun-
Gle appeared or his left shoulder, and
soon SO exhausted his already enfeebled
constitution that he died on the evening
of the 10th instant. On Thursday of this
week his funeral took place from the
chapel on Governors Island, brother Off
GERS both from the Army and Navy being
present in honor of his memory.
To all who knew him, the character
and career of Surgeon Abbott are their
