Thomas B. Hood, M. d., Medical Referee.


"A brief sketch Of the Medical Referee of the
Pension Office will no doubt be acceptable to
our readers, most of whom are interested in the
accuracy and good faith of his rulings.
1t gives us great pleasure to testify, in the
most public manner, to the singular complete
ness of his faculties for the position he occupies,
and the great labor and true Judgment with
which he fulfills the delicate and important du-
ties of his office.
DIR. Thomas b. Hood was born in West Vir-
ginia in the year 1929, and is now in the prime
Of manhood.
He graduated at the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, at Delaware, Ohio; and took the degree of
Doctor of Medicine at the Medical College of
Cleveland, Ohio.
He went into theservce of the United States
as assistant surgeon of the 10th Ohio Volun-
tcer Infantry In 1861 and 1862, and was pro-
NOTED to be surgeon of the q. S. Volunteers, in
which capacity he served in 1864, 1865, and
1866 After the bloody battle of Shiloh, in
April, 1862, he was the surgeon in charge of the
General Hospital for the Sd Division.
He was in charge of the hospital transport
Connecticut, in the Army of the Potomac,
in 1864 and the early part of 1865, and was
Surgeon in Chief of the District of Mississippi,
from September 1865, to May, 1866, and honor
ably mustered out in October, 1866.
In June, 1870, he was appointed Medical Ref
cree, the duties Of which office he has continued
to discharge with great acceptance.

avoid it, While the inaugural address being daily
cred from this place, devoted altogether to saving the
Union without war; insurgent agents in the city
seeking to destroy it without war; seeking to dissolve tho
Union, and divide the effects by negotiation
Both parties deprecated war but of them would
make rather than let the nation survive and the
other would accept war rather than let perish and the
Oneeghth of the whole population were coored slaves
not distributed generally the Union, but located In
the southern part of it, These slaves constituted pecu
liar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest
somehow the cause of the To strengthen pes
petuate and extend this interest the object for which
the insurgents would rend the Union by war; while Gov
enment claimed right to do than to restrict the
territorial enlargement of it, Neither party expected the
magnitude the duration which it has already attained
Neither anticipated that the of the conflict might
before the conflict itself should Each
looked for easier triumph, and result less funda-
mental and astounding. Both read the Bible, and
pray the God, and each nvokes his aid against
the other. 1t may seem strange that any man should
dare to ask just Gods assistance in wringng his bread
from the sweat of other mems faces.
But let us judge not, that we be not judged. The
prayer of both should not be answered That of neither
has been answered fully. The Almighty has His
purposes Woe unto the world because of ofenses for
it needs be that ofenses come; but unto that
man by whom the ofense cometh.'
If shall suppose that American slavery of these
ofenses which, in the providence of God must needs
come but which, having continued through his appointed
time he wills to remove and that he gives to both
North and South this terrible the due to those
by soo the ofense came shall we discern therein any
departure from those divine attributes which the believers
in living God always ascrbe to him?
Fondy do hope, fervently do we pray, that this
mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away Yet
God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by
the bondmans two hundred and fifty years of unrequed
toll shall be sunk and until every drop of blood
by the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the
sword, said three thousand years ago. still it
be said that the judgments of the Lord true and
righteous altogether.
With malice towards none, with charity for ALL with
frmness ia the right God gives to the right let
strive on to finish the work in, to bind up the
nation wound for him who shall have borne the
battle and for his widow and his orphans to do all which
may achieve and cherish just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.
