The Smoky Hill And Republican Union

PRESENTATION.-A few weeks ago, when we noticed the admirable arrangements of the Fort Riley Hospital, and the excellent care taken of the inmates by the Post Surgeon, Dr. Drew, we gave but a faint index to the feelings enkindled by his attention and skill within the bosoms of the volunteers, who were so fortunate as to fall into his hands. We are pleased to notice that gratitude has done its work, and the Doctor is the recipient of a handsome token of remembrance, that speaks the feelings of the heart, when the tongue is dumb. A massive hunter-case watch, with a splendid chain attached, of American manufacture, was forwarded him from Leavenworth, bearing this inscription:

Presented to Dr. F. P. DREW.
As A TOKEN OF RESPECT,
by the
sick soldiers of the 12th and 13th
Wisconsin, and the 1st and 2d
Kansas Volunteers.
June, 1862

All know the depth of a soldier's gratitude, and it must indeed be pleasing to the Doctor to observe such outgushings of the heart in response to his efforts to alleviate the suffering.
