The Governor of Ohio sent from Cincinnati the splendid steamer Magno- lia, in charge of Dr. Weber, the Surgeon-General of the State, to look after the wants of the wounded of Ohio regiments. This boat was almost lux- uriously fitted up by our efficient auxiliaries, the Aid Societies of Cleveland and Columbus, and returned to Cincinnati with two hundred and thirty of the sufferers in the fight. Since then, the Legislature has made liberal appropriations for this purpose, and several other steame...rs have been des- patched by the Governor on the same mission. During my stay, there came from Louisville two hospital boats—from Evansville, Indiana, one, and from Quincy, Illinois, another; all chartered by the State authorities for the care of the State troops. These, like those I have before enumerated, were but the advance-guard of the great fleet which, wafted by the breath of sympathy and patriotism, came, bringing health, courage and life to the thousands left shattered and bleeding by the storm of battle.
