lion. Mr. Wallace moved to amend the list by
adding the name of J. M. Dixon to the Executive
Committee. -
Mr. Cook said that if that motion was adopted,
it would require the nomination of still another
member of the committee. The constitution pro
videdgtbat there should not be less than eleven or
more than thirteen members,and but eleven had been
named, because Col. Paleston, the military agent
of the State, who was absent on account of afflic
tion, had requested that at least two places on the
committee should bo left vacant, as there might be
one or two persons whom he desired to act upon
the committee.
Mr. Wallace stated that be nominated Mr.
Dixon, knowing him to be ayery efficient yOUng
man. lie had given more time to looking after the
sick and wounded than perhaps any man in the'
meeting, and, as a member of the Executive Com
mittee, he knew that no one on it would be more
active'.
The question was taken on the motion, and the
name of J. M. Dixon was added to the list of the
Executive Committee.
' The list, as amended, was then adopted.
Hon. Mr. Moorehead thanked the mooting for the
honor conferred upon him in selecting him us its
president.
Judge Casey. I wish to relate an incident which came
nrakr my observation to.day. I wee in the city of. Ba
ltimore. and met there a gentleman welt known to many
hero, Mr. Alexander. Ray, now a resident of Philadel
phia, and he stat,d to me that our movement hero had
attraoted a great deal of attention in that city. Our ob •
ject was highly commended, and he ass-dred me that it
would be a pleasure, and by many Philadelphians ors
tstdered a privilege to contribute to the funds of this
meeting. As an.evulence of his own interest in the mat
ter, he haralid me 59.5 ea ble subscription, and stated that
et any thne we had need for more money we elionid cell
ripen hint and he would renew Ida subscription. [ay-
Dr. Elder.. Perhaps the meeting will be interacted to
learn the progress we have made in subscriptions to the
frlnd. There may be some inaccuracies in the additions
made just now, in the contusion, but j.JI ink the entire
amount , übteribed is 5923, of which may be con:
eidered paid, although, in fact, there is $290 not yet re
ceived. Upon calling at the office of Ma medical direc
tor, to.day, I lea, ued that there are 1,139 sick and
wounded Pennsylvanians npon the lists of the hospitals
hese, and them may bee few more, attached to regiments
of otter Stater, V. hose names are not down as Peansfl-
Yabletle. In regard to the state of the fund; it must be
observed that no applications have been made outside of
the meeting, of which this is the second.' I know of a
large number, In the city. who have been prevented from
attending here, who will contribute when called upon.
31y own kupiession is, that the fund rateed by Pommel
vaulting, resident and sojourning here, will amply meet
all the teguisitions of the case. That la not the solici
tude, not the anxiety now. It is in the administration of
that fund, or rather in the administration of the duties
to which you have called your appointees that the great
importance lies, and in the personal character and con
duct,' the demeanor, promptitude, .and energy of the
visiting committees. There lies the point to he taken
care of, and you hove entrusted ,a isufflelently large dis
cretion of management 'to the executive committee to
cover the case.
Bee. Mr. Davis wished to inquire the objects of Ma as:
sociatirn, whether its services were to be confined to the
soldiers' who were fertuuete enough to reach Ude district, •
or whether they were to be extended to the soldier. in
ltoa
pitel on the Peninsula The best hospitals in the world
were. perhaps, In this city. They were complete In every
detail, end the soldier wanted little in them that was not
supplied him. He had no doubt there was much suffer
ing among the sick and wounded soldiers here, but from
all he had learned of the admirable management of the
hospitals, the supplies furnished, and the skill of the sue- i
peons, gained by long practice, ho thought they must ap
pear almost es heavens to th ee soldiers who came from
hosrpihsts such es be saw a few days ago. It had been
but twb' or three days since he had been in the ad Yates
the army, almost within eight of Richmond.
No one could appreciate what our men had to en
dure without seeing their situation. He bad been told by
a sound men that he would give five dollars for a pota
to ; end he had met an officer carrying an onion in his
pocket, which he occasionally bit into, as he said, to get,
the taste of a fresh vegetable. There were Penneylva-
Mena in the advance on picket deity, and he heard the
crack of the rifle, and saw officers and men of the 69th
Regiment. Pennsylvania Volunteers, carried put him on
litters, who bad been wounded a (ow minutes before.
These men were carried through the blazing son of Sun
day last to the shade of acme tree, where they lay for
scme time, and were fleetly placed on steamboats, and
carried to the, hospital at the White House; where,
*whit to its crowded and confused condition, there smut
be infinitely more suffering among the patients .than
in the hoepttale here. They had brought General
Jameecsn up with them on their return, became it was
held certain that he would die there in a few days, not
because his wound was incurable, but'because he could
not have the dare end attention bestowed upon him -hie
ease demanded. In hospital here ft was thought he
would recover. 'Be placed these fads before the meeting
for the purpose of asking that committees might lye up.
poieted to visit the army of the Potomac. Tho Sanitary
Commireion end other aid 'societies were doing much,
but each bad its field, and there could not Ise too 'rainy
laborers in this regard of woe. Tho road from Fortress
Monroe to the Cisickshominy was lined with hospitals.
At the fortrees the hotel and other buildings were full of
the sick; at Yorktown every building . , large ' wets tall,'
seemed to have been turned iiito a hospital. He believed
there were some sixteen hundred sick there, and as he'
passed through he taw a large Timber of Penneyiveniaos
jest recovering from fever who werelplaced la hot attics
just under the . roof. Notwithstanding their Hardship
they tried to he cheerful ; and one brave boy, so reduced
that lie could hardly stand, remarked to him that
be would be well enough is a few days to take
the Hold again. These amen were necessarily illy
supplied, because they were In au enemy's' country,
and he hoped the meeting would look outside of Wash..
Legion, evil aid In bringing these men from hello of suf
fering and exposure to where they would be better cared .
for. Be had been asked by two or three of the boom
be went through the sick wards at Yorktown, whether
there was hope of their getting away from there; that if
they could only be taken to any other place they would
get well. lie could only reply that the State anthorities
of Pennsylvania were straining every nerve to provide
for her sots who were sick and wounded on the field,
and held out the hope that aid would soon come to them.
Be as sin invited the attention of the meeting to their
cenditior, and suggesk-d that a committee should make
inquiry whether they could not aid in bringing these poor
soldiers to the better hospitals of this District, or in send
the them to the hospitals in Philadelphia and elsewhere,
farther from the noire and excitement of the east of war.
Ttc President elated that the object of the association
just organized was stated in the second of its con
stitution, as follows: e, The object of the association
shall be the relief of the wounded and sick Pennsylva-
Mum connected with the army of the United States." He
thonsht this was broad enough to suit the gentleman, as
it did net confine the duties of the committees to Wash
ington alone, but extended them wherever a sick or
wounded, Ps nnsylvardan could be found in the army of
the 'United States. Ile approved the gentlemen's gag
pensions, and thought they could be carried out, as, from
the amount already subscrilsed, and the interest which
his Is fend Judge Casey had manned them was felt in the
rummest in Philadelphia and through Pennsylvania.
he felt certain the association would he in no need of
seefdance to ekerid whatever efforts to alleviate suffering
thesernight put forth.
Jasper R.'Brady thenpbt when the association was es
tablished it was for the especial porno° of looking after
the sick shd wernded Pennsylvania soldiers in t h e hospi
tals in this city, bet it seemed the constitution did not
limit it to them. The executive bad control of the funds,
and he hoped they would no disburse them as, In the arse.
instance, to relieve the soldiens here, and then if they
lied eh) thing left they might carry out the views of the
gentlemen. ' It world require a large fund if the, under
took to irensport the wounded from the Peninsula here.
The original idea was the relief of the sick and wounded
in Washington. If the association was to 'receive aid
from Philadelphia and the State,
and a su ffi ciently large
fund could be raised, he was i n favor of extending the
charitable work of the association wherever there was a
Pennsylvania soldier—and that was everywhere where
an s nt tny email be found. 'We f u el men in every army—
East, West, and South, and he wished that the benefits
of the association might be extended to ail who needed
relief, but funds must be had to do it.
Mr. Cook. It may not be Improper to exp'ain this
constitution which wo have adopted. It consists of eight
articles. The first sty lee the organization The Penn
sylvania Soldiers' Relief Association ;" the second de
signates the object of the association to be the relief of
wounded and hick Pennsylvanians connected with' the
aims , of the 'United States. There is no limitation of
locality in she object, and the aid of 'the association may
be extended wherever it is deemed proper. With its
saving band it may grasp tho sick and wounded soldier
wherever he may be. The third article relates to the
officers of the association. The fourth article is 'mime
what peculiar. It provides that 4 . The Finance
r • Cotrmittee• shall consist of seven. and the Erect'.
tire Committee of not leas than eleven nor more
than thirteen. It shell lie the duty of the Finance
Cow mitten to snitch and collect tootle and other con
tributions. The Executiee Committee shall have general
control of the aseoelation, and, of the disbursement of
the funds tinder ordere.from the chairman thereof." It
will be observed that tte active relief power of the Imo
elation is with the Executive Committee. That commit
tee is explicitly invested with power to appoint any num
ber of subordinate committees, and under that power i
Vet contemplated that visiting committees should be ap
pointed, who would not only visit the hospitals here, but
extend their visits to the army of the Potomac, and
wherever their aid wee needed.. The Finance Committee
wee authorized to appoint subordlr ate committees. in
order that,' if it woe des lied proper, funds could be col
lected all over the State through the agency of toed com
mittees. The fifth article,. el The payment of 55 shell
constitute membership in the association," designates
'distinctly bow a membership may be secured. I prepared
to• day a list of Pe nneylvanians connected with the Go
-1/0701119114 and it may not be amiss to road it. The State

from the Navy Department 560, the Poet Offiee Depart

all 50(5. This of itself will ben considerable sum. It

ly contribute that sum. Should there be one who would
not. 1 e Lime Of would bo en object of charity and com
miseration, or perhaps more properly of a virtuous in.
dilatation ' which would expel him from Ids position.
The sixth article provides a limo for the regular meeting
of the emaciation. It has been remarked by the histo
rian of our organization, which traces itself bark amid
the cobwebs of time, that the philosophy of the eoocess
of our association is in the frequency and regularity of
ite me etlngs. Hence this provision. • The seventh article
provides that a at the monthly meeting of the association
sand the monthly meetings of the executive committee full
misfits shall be made of the operations of the association,
Including exact etatements of the number of wounded and
sick. the aid extend' d to them, receipts and expenditures
of money, and of all odor matters of importance and in
terest." By this article, it will become the duty of the
association to make monthly reports, and of the executive
committee to make weekly reports. These reports will
embrace the condition of the sick and-wounded soldieer,
the character of their aflictfon, the relief extended to
the rn, whet her they have bean transported to their homes
by the at.. .elation—in fine, tvery particular that can be
communicated in regard to them. They will also contain
a hat of those who may die while under the care of the
aseociatien, atd whose lest heart's prayer may have gone
out in lac !ration of the grand old stare and stripes
which they bad put forth the'r best effort to make victo
rious over unhallowed rebellion. [A pplause.] The last
article declares that the association shall be auxiliary-to
the Peers, Ivania Military Agency. The object of tide
will be eatily understood: It was feared that lf this
wee an entirely independent organization discord
might , sites between it and the Pennsylvania Military
Agency, end, to prevent clashing between the two,
it wins deemed beet to unite them. This is
a subindinate association, and will act in harmony. with
.the other. Ito not know that any further ei planation .
isnecessary ] per a I may. have trespassed too muoh
111)C8 your time in making this, but I thought it would
not be ant of place to make th'e statement that all might
hive a correct idea of tho 8380Ciliti013, and be able to
give others any information they might desire as to Its
object. Let us Pennsylvanians pot it tote prompt and
effective operation, and let as, With , ut any further delay,
go into the hospitals wherever a Pennsylvanian is to ba
kcal ou our mission ofmerey. [Applause.]
A gentleman frem'Afferson county suggested that five
dollars was too mnth to require f Jr. membership in the
asecielation, and after some discussion a motion to recon
sider the vote by which the constitution was adopted was
reconsidered, and an amendment made to the fifth article
redueing.the sum required for membership from five del
imit to one dollar. •
The Constitution as amended wait then adopted.
Eton. Sir. McKnight enid that he wished to impress
upon the meeting the importance of the remarks made
by Sir. Davis. Ile hoped that tbo operations of the asso
ciation would not be confined to Washington. This was
a good fleld to work 00, but tbere was a better, and that
wan the battle fleld. Visiting committees should at once
be appointed.to go prepared with all that could alienate
suffering. He bad teen down to the White House on
Sunday, the second'day of the battle of Fair Oaks, and
while there fourteen hundred wounded were brought In,
and the greatest went wee for .surgeone and imam to
giro itum«liate attention to these poor men. When they
were distributed among the different hospitals of course
this went wasnot so notch felt, but it woe jolt after the
battle, as they lay bleeding end dying in the field; sad
It the executive committee would prepare itself to have
ready and on the ground, at the next fight, a large num
ber of dotterel and nurses it would accomplish vastly
more good in a abort space of tithe than it can ever do
In this city. Be had heard it repeatedly stated by expo
periensed judgre that nowhere in the world were hospi
"tits inCril admirably arranged, provided, and
ventilwed, and the wants of the Lick attend
ed to than in Washington. In reference to York
town he said . that that place bad been toned totally.
unfit for hospital purposes. The malaria from tho our
mewling swamp, made it very unhealthy, and tho ac
commodations for the sick and wounded soldiers were of
the moat miserable description. There bad been no
bevies built there, be believed, since the Revolutionary
war, and those in use were so small and badly ventilated
that the soldiera in them 'almost auffecated. The win
dows were old-feehioned, mail, and did not let down
from the top, and he saw rick Pennaylvantane there who
were actually dying for want of air. Be had been se
lo,ted on the return trip as one of the merubera of the
committee appointed by the visitieg party to- call the
attention 01 the Department to Blue facto, and had done
so, and received the assurance of the Secretary that the
hospitaliat Yorktown should" be removed to a more sa
lubrlona locality. The committee bad also urged upon .
the Department that when Northern men we e
wounded they elsonld be taken to a Northern almos.
phere, where they would more speedily recover than
even in Washington. Be repeated that he did not think
there would. be 111 much necessity for the operistions
of .the association here as on the battle• field. Ile re
garded this as a centrist organization, which was to ex
tend its artue over the whole country, and he did not
understand that it wee merely to raise funds from mem
bers of Congress and the employees of the Government.
Now that it was regularly organized and prepared to RO
to work, it would receiveialms front thousands throtigh.
out the whole. State. The association would be merely
the almoner of our old mother Pennsylvania, and if ha
could judge by the character of the gentlemen selected
as its ofticere, the work undertaken would be well and
faithfully. performed, and money would flow in so
abundantly that they would have enough to to to judi
ciously distribute the fund. Mr. McKnight alluded to
Clement C. Barclay, of Philadelphia, who had given all
his time end attention lately to the care of the sick and
wounded on the Peeinsula. Be said that , he was one of .
Pennsylvania's noisiest sons, and that his name deserved
to be written in letters of gold. From him the Execu
tive Committee could got more valuable suggestions
than• From any other man. Mr. Barclay had told him
that since he had entered upon his mission of mercy, and
it bed become known, he had been so liberally supplied
with money and everything he needed, that he had been
obliged to write to his &ion& and request them to die
continue their contribmione It would be the 0111113 with
the association, and he felt confident that their
operations
would never be interfered with for want of money, so
long as the people of the old Keystone State were near to
lend a helping hand.
Mr. 'Eaton stated that so far es extending the opera
tions of the association beyond Washington was con
cerned, Mr. Bruno, with several other gentlemen, from
Allegheny county, bad taken to the Peninsula thirty
male nurses, and before he went had informed him that
be desired ".to act -in concert with the aseociatien, and
would Inform it of any wants among Pennsylvanians he
miebt observe there. Be had assured Mr. Bruno that
the association would extend to him all the aid in its
power.
At this stage of the proceed trig, Mr. Clement C. Bar-
clay, who bad feel reached the city, was escorted into the
meeting, and on being introduced by Mr. McKnight,
was received with great applause, the gentlemen present
rising as a mark of respect to him. Mr. McKnight said
that be had met Mr. Barclay at the White House, and
again at Fortress Monroe, but as he was present he
would not say what he found him doing. It was proper,
however, to say that be was doing no harm while he
wee about. [Laughter.] Ihe President invited Mr.
Barclay to give the meeting hie experien - ce among the
sick and wounded on the Peninsula; what was being
done for them, and bow the association could aid. He
thought be might define a line of policy which would
greatly aid them.
Idr:Barclay said that this visit was really unexpected
to him. ,He had lust arrived in the city, was fatigued
with travel, and really knew no little of the object of the
meeting that be feared ho would be but a poor adviser.
He was glad to learn that the meeting had aneembled to
aid thesick and wounded soldiers of Pennsylvania. Too
much could not be done not' only for the brave boys of
Pennsylvania, but of all the States. True," and ap
plause.] •When he first went to the peninsute, he did
so; he said,for the pus-pose of confining his attentions
entirety to Pennsylvanians; but he found, when he got
there, men from. other States tying suffering near those
front his oum,sand he could not pass a Maine man to give
to eirerinsvlvanian ' so he divided his loaf among them
all. His friends in Pennsylvania kept him amply sup
plied. Bin stere•room was never empty. The more
be gave out the more he received, and in fact,
he might any be lived by faith. He was delighted
to fled so many gentlemen engaged in the game work,
end he felt sure they would he sustained the moment
penntylvanlit knew what they were doing. He had re
ceived contributions not only from Pennsylvania, but
from Boston, New Yorke wad every direction. He was
now in thin city to see the Surgeon General, to have some
hoepitals, badly located on the peninsula, broken up.
He should return to his station immediately, and not
leave It again ; but before going, If be could make any
'enggeetions which would aid the committee, he would be
glad to do to. He thanked the meeting for the high cora•
pliment they hut paid him,
In conclusion, Mr. Barclay requested that his name
elict.l.l be added to the subscription list for one hundred
donors. [Applause ]
A gentleman inquired whether the executive committee
would bare ailed of Pennsylvanians now in hospital made
ant for public inapection.
The President replied that it would.
. Mr. Rail said it was known to most of theme present
that there was a place in Philadelphia called the Cooper
Shop Volunteer Defreshment Saloon, which , had fed up
wards of n quarter of a million of soldiers, going to the
war or returning from it, through Philadelphia. A. com
mittee of Jiff of that airoclation was in the room, with
Mr. Cooper, the President of the aseoclation, at its head.,
and they bad requested him to have their names entered
as members of the Pennsylvania Soldiers' Belief Ammo
elation. (Applause ]
Chaplain Brown, of the Douglas hospital, suggested
that the'Executlve Committee could do a good work by
acting that par MlllitOT If visit the hospitals and paid off
the tick and wounded., Many of these poor men had
five, Mx, and seven months' pay due, and in many CFIBOI3
tbt y complained bitterly that their families were in
want, end this 'mon ey wee due them and earned in de.
Duce of their country, but yet they could not got it to
send to them. This often preyed upon their minds and
prevented their recovery. Another cause of sickness
and. delay . In recovery was home-siclmess ennui, sad
the want of acmething to engage the mind. He. felt
certain that there ' was now one man in the Dou
glas Hospital who .was actually dying from
hone-licitness. It wee true that he was otherwise
tick, but there wee nothing to prevent his recovery ex
cept this longing for home, which was gradually wearing
btu nut. This condition could be prevented by furnish
ing the mon with reading matter. They had a number
of religions works, but what they most needed were
DOWkraPers; that they might learn what' was going on in
the world around them. lie had been kindly furnished
Rom the' beginning, by Colonel Forney, with ten nopiee
of. the PhiladelphittPress daily for the use of the' hos
pital, arid it was astonishing to see what an effect the
receipt of these papers and the reading
.of, the news
bad upon the men. Oranges and lemon's were
very 'atm ptsblei to the alck,r.but the committee would
find in miming from ward to wird to distribute these and

CAMP BEFORE BICIIMORD, June 14,1863
How hot! This is the exclamation of every one In
camp. One of our hottest days in Jelly is no comparison
to to-day in the way of beat. The mon hove Buffeted
greatly during the day, and to add to the general discom
lot t, there was but a breath of air stirring. The men
were spared all labor, and were allowed to make thorn
!Selves as comfortable se possible. Host of the regiments
are KITIOVI hat protected from Sore rays by the foliage of
the woods in which they are encamped. Other regiments
were compelled to put up shelter, or suffer. The 49th
Pennsylvania tegiment is unanimously allowed to have.
the finest encampment in this vicinity. Large arbors,
covered with green foliage, have been erected by the
men, under which the respective companies assemble, and
the mon lie daring the day when there is no work on
band. Each tent has its entrance protected by a bower
of similar material, and the effect Is to give the camp a
very pretty and picturesque appearance.
E =ME!
Piece the army bus been hero a great change has been
effected in the condition of the wide stretches of swampy
lend in the vicinity. The length of road that must be
cordnroyed, the numerous bridges, large and small; that
have been erected, requiring an immense quantity. of
Wilber, to say nothing of the fuel needed for such a large
array, which bee all to be obtained in the vicinity—acres
of dense woods are so tbinnedlont that one can eee the
fields a quarter of a mile distant. It is now over three
weeks since any portion of our troops crossed to this side
of the Ohickehominy, and many tracts which were then
swampy me now quitedry, notwithstanding the rains.
I=l
Your very attentive correspondent, J. C., made a eight
mistake in speaking of the passage of General Smith's di
vision to this aide of the Ohickahominy, on Thursday, the
sth inst. The division struck tents at four o'clock in the
morning, and, after a very tiresome march, arrival at
the Grape Sine Bridge, made famous as the crossing
place of General Barmier, on the afternoon of tlao Slat
ult. The crossing required conniaerable time, on ac
count of the disabled condition of the bridge. We then
marched to our camping place, where we arrived about
eight PM. That night our encampment was visited by
a 'drizzling train, which lasted till noon neitslay. In the
meantime we occupied the position just vacated by Gen.
Barns' brigade, so that at no time did we meet an enemy
as we wore merely marcbiug to join the advance. No
heavy firing; aa your correspondent states, covered our
advance.
PAROLED PRISONERS
Those of our volunteers wild have been taken prison
ers by the rebels, and not fully exchanged, should not
come lu re and desire to do duty, as, under no condition,
will they be put is the ranks, and be exposed to the
danger of agaid being taken, in 'which case their lives
would be jeopardized. Those that have come down, atter
causing tome trouble to their officers, have finally been
sent home.
PICKET FIRING.
Picket firing is now yery unfroquent Tir.leeo some ono
foolishly exposes his person, no shots are fired. Shot and
sb.ol haye almost totally ceased. The reason we know
not. W. M.

CAMP LINCOLN. • .
.General McClellan has named the camp in this Vie/nit,'
" Camp Lincoln." The name is an appropriate one; and
the collate are in a very fine condition, although desti
tute of the comforts which were within relish when
nearer home.
Hitherto our pickets have readily, and frequently con
versed with inoso of the enemy, as the distance between
them lb inconsiderable. Of course, no informatfon was
given to the enemy, nor received by our men, but the
practice is contrary to rule, and the Officers on the picket
line have received positive orders to immediately shoot
the offender. This order has had the required effect.
Our men do not wish to die in such an ignominious man
ner. 'lwo members of Colonel Wistar's regiment were
slightly wounded yestetday while on picket. This regi
ment oecnpiea what were formerly the roble advance
rifle pits, and until a couple of days ago were considera
bly annoyed by a rebel battery, which is now covered
by the grais of our sharpshooters.
EVERYTHING QUIET
"AR quiet before Richmond," will doubtless be as
cctsmon a obtuse se "All quiet along the Potomac."
Our Quiet, however, bodee the rebels no good,--it ie the
quiet of pteperation. Nothing must be left to the hazard
of a die. When the blow falls, it must be with success.
TILII2iDER STORK:
Yesterday morning opened with every prospect of •
delightful day, and until noon we were not disappointed.
A sodden and rapid change then took place, and the
weather having been dry for several days the roads were
all dry, and the dust was blown about In fitful gusts,
much to the discomfort of every one. The wind was
very high, and threatened the stability of our tenth. But
few were blown down. In a few minutes the rain poured
down in torrents, and miniature lakes were soon formed
in every direction. I Lave seen some, caused by the
heavy rains, which were a couple of scree in extent.
The rain continued until sunrise this morning, when it
reseed, and the sun rose bright and early, and the air
being delightfully cool wo have bad a Tory pleasant day.
DRILLING TO BE CONTINUED
Illtberto, for various reasons, the mon have not been
regularly drilled, the sudden marches, etc , preventing it.
The order has been given to drill the men every morn
ing before breakfast, so that they may recover their
expertnese in the movements.
Numerous fatigue parties have bean busily engaged in
repairing bridges and roads, and constructing now ones.
Yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding the severity of the
storm, another bridge was thrown across the Chicka.
hominy, so that there are guile a number of bridges
across that stream 'within the control of our army. The
men worked faithfully daring the whole afternoon, often
in water np to their necks, and all returned soaking wet
The camp tires soon did their clothing and warmed
their shivering bodies, while a email draught of whisky
warmed them internally. W. M.

THE CALM BEFORE A STORM.
There hex been no change in our general position .Ince
my last writing, and, indeed, there can be none. The
two armies are as near to each other as they possibly can
be without congict, and the rest of our time before the
rapture of Richmond will be spent In digging trenches,
mounting siege guns, and preventing the annoyance of
our skirmishers .by rebel cannon. Sharpshooters have
pia) ed en no tricks since their cowardly attack upon
Col. Goeline's gallant regiment and the effective lesson
that repuise gave them taught that crawling and slinking
gained nothing against that/Mon army. Their pickets,
too, have stopped talking with ours, stringent orders
against it baying been given by General McClellan. Con
trabands and deserters continue to pass across the
Chickahominy, each one telling his mournful tale so full
of injustice, ißscontent, and despair Cavalrymen boldly
ride about in exposed places on the hills, provoking oar
fire, but gaining nothing more than a few muttered
curses from the redersl gunners and all along the rebel
line, wherever the crest of , a hill or skirt of a wood will
protect them, their troops are busy throwing up breast
works and digging rifle pits.
This general quietnees promises to be the rule far some
time yet, as we are by no means prepared for the final
effort. 'The army, howeverfis rapidly preparing, and,
thoueli - lying - still in camp, none of the troops are idle.
@oxidant drills will insure us from dismay in the field,
and constant preparation of ammunition to be used
against their flimsy breastworks will secure us from any,
scantiness * in the supply of cartridges when, amid shot
and shell, our artillerists are firing into the enemy.
Though time. is taken, and delay canted, yet we will be
fully prepared.
REBEL BATTERY EOE•PLUSBED
Lust night a battery, under cover of the darkness, was
vent out by the "enemy 'rum the woods to the right of
Now Bridge. There seemed to be a half dozen guns,
and whin daybreak disclosed them, everything indicated
that a most murderous fl re was about to be Umered into our
picketeand . brldge•builders , Two cannon were mounted
by no to an . oat•fleld, which : from its height, commands
the entire surrounding country, and within five minutes
after the discOvery of the enemy, a request to shell them
out was answered favorably by the commanding general
at. the rear. The German winners went to work with
zeal, planting four shells right in the centre of the rebel
postlion, and in far lees time than it takes to describe it,
tho rebels had dragged their cannon out
of danger, no
doubt lamenting the hard fate which had deprived them
Of the magnificent time they expected to have in driving
our scouts aid wood-choppers out of the swamp.
As I write,lhia same Federal battery is engaged in
eh ell ing one of the rebel earthworks across the river, which
has opened upon' our picketers. Of course, their gnus
are silenced, and yen may as well stereotype the phrase;
for ithsibeen the result of twenty censeentive duels In
the last tn.:, or three dem These tbinga are becoming
co amnion that it is almost a waste of time to write about
them. If I were a rebel cannonier, I would be so dis
heartened by such universal bad success that I would
resign my potdtion. reteral artillerists, doing so poorly,
would be dismissed in disgrace from the army, and their

London Times might envy. Today is the 16th of June,

of twelve summers come sauntering into tho picket line
of Colonel Gosline's 95th Pennsylvania, with a bundle of
copies of the Richmond Dispatch, of this morning. for

prisoner and nt within the lines to the general com
manding the brigade, General Newton, but all along the'
rontehe sold his papers, giving the last one or two copies
to tho general.
The newspaper be brought with him bad a most sor
rowful appearance. The first and fourth pages had not
been altered since May 16th, ard,.of course, the corners
were battered, and about one-third of the snrface un
readable. The second and third contained alt the news,
and gave the information that " France is about to re
cognize the Confederacy." Other articles referred to,
the condition or the rebel troops, and the police of their
camps, end, of course, there were the metal tirade!! •
against "Lincoln hirelings," Yankees, and Abolitionists.
The leader, however, was devoted to the cavalry dash
around our army, of which I have cent you au account. •
This young adventurer confessed how he happened to.
come here. The cavalry raid is regarded as a great
thing in Richmond ; far more important than either the
retreat of Jackson or the defeat of Beauregard. Having
been sent out as rebel expedition., generally are, to burn
boats and wagon?, and wage war against unarmed toarn.
eters, and having been successful, they, of coarse, are in
ecstasies. Thinking that to keep their joy all to them
eelice would be selfish, they generously resolved to let
the Yankees share it at the rate of ten cents apiece, and
sent this youngster over to distribute the paper containr
nog the beet account. Of course the gentleman was
nothing loth, and came over, eellieg his papers to great
glee, until taken prisoner, whon,!tbe reality appearing
somewhat unpleasant, faint traces of sorrow might be
traced on his countenance, and shadows of tears be
found lurking in the corners of his eyes.
A few slight mistakes adorn the two columns devoted
to this brilliant act. Thsy say two millions of property
were destroyed, and one hundred and seventy prisoners
taken A hundred and fifty wagons are also said to
have been captured. The figures I sent you wore cor
rect, being just about ace. fif lb of theme.
Speaking seriously of this rebel manronvre, I acknow
ledge it to have been as bold a thing as ever has been .
successfully performed in the whole war. Its .boldness
secured its success, and coins one is to blame for giving
the enemy information which enabled them to rood a
force on such a route as was taken by these cavalrymen.
There is outspoken complaint that treason lurks in the
army, and those who do not charge treachery, do say
that there has been most culpable neglect. • The truth is
that the thing could scarcely be prevented. A.small force
of cavalry, at a gallop, go away np into 'Virginia to Ash
land, mike above she position occupied by.oor troop,
then crone to khe Pamunky, and then going away below,
return throngs their own lines from Fort Darling into
Richmond A swiftly-passing force, well distal ed as
them were, might successfully do it, marching as they do
through their own country, where they know every road
nod path, and hill and wood, and having every inhabi
tant to give them Worsts&lion of oar whereabouts. A
stronger force never could do it; annihilation , would be
the penalty, And now that our disaster has warned ns,
it will not bo done again by any force, '
COL. F6.IINSWORTII'S EIGIITII ILLINOIS CAVALRY
II Seaseta is boasting over the ephemeral success it
gained in a moment or Federal inattention, our troops
era after its soldiery with an earnestness which will soon
change their joy to sorrow. No more effective cavalry
regiment is enlisted in the service than Colonel-Fares
worth's Bth Illinois. Yesterday it started off into the
enemy's linee and captured' two fOnr-borse teams, the
drivers haiiiig inn away on their approach: This morn
ing eigl teen harem and three prisoners were sent in, and
the Colonel was reported to be on the straight road to
Hanover, after some Secessionists who were marauding
in that neighborhood.
HANOVER COURT HOUSE
Your thousand Federal caval 7, this morning, started
on the full trot for Hanover Court Erouee, after a lot of
Beceraioniste who.whihed to reproduce the raid of last
week. The sth and Bth regulars and Colonel Farns
worth's regiment were among them It is too early an
hour to give any report of their proceedings, bat you
may rely on something effective being done. General
Stoneman commands the force, and if any one knowa
how to carry out effectively a well-laid plan he does.
lE=
Tim let, 2d, 3d. and 4th New Jersey Regiments, under
the command of Colon &Taylor, aro now the force far
thest advanced at Mechanicsville. They report a most
important movement of 'the enemy opposite to them. It
is said that the whole of hie force has evacuated the Mlle
there, and that only pickets era left. Officers of the New
Jersey regiments hove observed groat changes in the ap
pearance of the Dille, such as the removal of camps and
batteries, and contrabands tell in most glowing terms of a
rebel evacuation. Not questioning the statements either
of officers or contrabands, I think this to be a mere rose.
The position occupied by the rebels at Mechanicsville was
scarcely three miles from Richmond. Behind it thereie a
continuous descent to the town. Heavy rebel batteries
command every approach to their positions, and if they
could lure us over the river and get= under a murderous
Lire with a swamp behind us cutting off our retreat, they
wosid be highly delighted. Our troops do not rush into
the cannon's mouth to gratify any such propensity, and
our rebellious friends may get as many guns ready as they
please. Every one mounted there lessens the force
against us elsewhere, and so helps the Union cause. The
balloon has been up near Mechanicsville this afternoon,
and no doubt has gi you a faithful report of the enemy's
actual position. That their movement is a trick, I WA
confident.
ME=
There is no position in the army which is more useful
and at the same time more abused than that of eutler.
Conersea, at the solicitation of Senator Wilson, of Mae
eachusette, recently passed a law stating the list of
articles sutlers would be aliened to sell, and prescribing
the regulations under which they were to act, and now
the business is carried on as it were under legislative
sanction. A intim is allowed to every regiment in the
field, end is appointed on recommendation of the com
manding officer of the regiment by the officer command
ing the poet. His privilege may be suspended for mal
practice, and he has no right to underlet to others. He
brings his clock Of goods to White House by authority of
a clearance granted at some Northern port, Ind makes
oath that be only beings such articles as• are allowed by
law: In camp; be is allowed to erect his, tent, and the
United States guaranties him payment for goods per
chewed by the troops to the amount of one. third of their
pay. This he collects as the troops are paid off, and In
case of a dispute, the account is verified by oath, and
then collected from the paymaster.
If a regiment so chooses, it may collect from the sutler
a tax of ten cents a month for every officer and soldier
in the regiment, which will average seventy or eighty
dollars. This is made up into a fend for the support of
a band, education of soldiers', children, and a ilbrari.
It is very seldom collected in the volunteer service though
there is full authority for doing so.
Tery few sutlera charge what may be called reasona
ble prices for their goods. Five times as much R 9 the
worth of an article is the usual charge for it. Even at
this rate everything is sold in a short time. A sutler
will arrive in camp early some morning with five thou.
sand dollars' (at antlers' prices) worth of goods. By
noon three•fonrths .of it will be sold, and before sunset
nothing . will be left but that dead stock which is the lose
of every store. Some of them bring their stock, and
then go home again to invest their money and purchase
a second. Others Mar here constantly, tiering PRIORS
running back and forth to White House, bringing now
supplies..
A very few of these men act justly by the troops, and
of course the exorbitant charges ef those who are un
just cause frequent grumbling. There are hundreds of
little thine a soldier needs which are not furnished by
the Government, and for these he must pay the antler.
There being no desire to undersell—the whole party being
banded together—be is forced to pay the price asked; and
in many canii procures but an indifferent article. A few
of these prices will tudonielt cheep Philadelphia. Penny
gingerbread bring 25 cents a dozen. The poorest crack
ers are 25 cents a pound. Four-cent pies` bring 20 and
80 cents. limory and sand paper, and sweet oil, need for
cleaning muskets and accoutrements, bring ten times
their worth at home. Lemone, that are dear at home
when given away, are cold here for 80 cents a dozen.
Six cents' worth of Bode or yeast powders are sold for 80
cents. Twenty cents is the usual price , for a foot-cent
bottle of ink. If a generous soldier wishes to treat a
friend be has to pay dearly for the privilege. Fifty cents
pays for two glasses of porter or. ale, provided he fur
nishes his own glassware and draws hie own cork. Forty
center will get two elegem of beer. If he Is heated, and
has a piece of ice bandy, 50 cents will get him two drinks
of what professes to be cold and sparkling' soda water;
and if, in his generosity, he calls for mint juleps for two,
a dollar and a half will just, foot the bill. A. botttle of
brandy costs from three to ten dollars, and then it is only
to be procured after as crutch diplomacy and rod tape as
are needed in getting a ptible appointment. Liquors are
sold only to officers.
These exorbitant charges are nearly all profit. It
costs but little more to bring a stock of goods to sell in
the Briny than it does a country storekeeper to transport
his from a commercial centre. One of the sutlers told
me, sad his pricee, I em happy to, say, supported the
atatemeat, that rne•balf to two-thirds more than home
Dykes would amply pay for his risk 'and Menhir). Two
thirds at least of the price generally charged here, is pro
fit, and gees from the ecant purse of the poor soldier tub
the greedy maw of the selfish antler. Snell being the
cafe, it is seldom that these men have the good will of
the troops. All sorts of difliceltiesare thrown in their
way, and en accident happening to any one in the hurl:
DEBI is venally hatted with general delight.
Bad Senator Wilson peraevered in his efforts, and, after
regulating the Het of articles sold, alto procured a tariff
of prices, it would have been far better. The system
established by him, much as it is to be praised for its
justice in other respects to all parties concerned, lecke
thieone provision to make it perfect: I believe he
attempt it; but mat with so strenuous opposition that he
dropped the tariff in order to secure the rest of the law.
At some future day, perbospe,lie may renew his efforts and
be crowned with tmccerm. •

Falling of a House in New York—Two
Men Killed and others Injured.
About 4% o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the people
residing -in the neighborhood of Mott and Elizabeth
streets, near Grand, were alarmed by the falling of the
tbrio-story brick building, No. 209. The ruins presented
a terrible chaos, and raised a cloud of dust which for a
while bid the immediate scene of disaster from the view
of the thousands of spectators who gathered round to be
wail the him of the killed, and the injuries of those who
were both The rumor spread that quite a number of
bodies were in the ruins, but that story was soon set
right, and the facts in the case properly represented by
Captain Williamson and his officers of the Fourteenth
Precinct, who were promptly on the spot to preserve
Older.
It appears that a number of workmen have been em
ployed about the forindation of the building in question
for some time peat. The old one had been takes out and
anew one built in, and the house let clown upon It in ap
parent safety ; bat they proceeded to dig for the laying
•of another foundation for a new building on the site of
M 0.211. It was while digging thus that the building
• No. 209 gave way at iii b.ise and foil a mass of uosightlY
guise Beneath the debris were burled Thos. White,
'rhos. Dodwell, George Torbs, rater Roeder, and Hoary

After considerable labor, the persons who wire in
.search of the unfortunate man who had been caught
witheni time to flee for safety, succeeded in dislodging
Geo. Tot be and Peter Roeder, who ws re seriously bruised.
They wore immediately sent to the hospital. Next they.
came to the dead body of Thomas Dodwell, which was
standing amid the bricks, &c., in en erect position.
'Belay Mitchell, a boy, who was slightly injured, was
sent to his home.
The body of . Thos. White hits not yet been found, the
further search having been suspended last evening, by
order of the inspector of buildings, who feared that ano
ther disaster might occur by disturbing the shapeless and
trembling mate In its present condition. The search will
be resumed this morning, with the necessary precaution

A BETIF.Ib FUNERAL.—Gen. Mitchel!, at llunbs
ville, in answer to a rceueEt by his prisoners, allowed ti
them the privilege of funeral rites over their dead.
Among those burird was a young officer, a relative and
namesake of Howell Cobb. He was a brave young man !
and -of refined manners. Two hundred young tidies of
Mnntsville strewed his grave with flowers. Col. Bernard
McGinnese was also burled by the rebel prisoners with
funeral honors. The - Bev. Father Tracy performed the
eclem cerexionies of the Catholic Church in both in
stances. Igo touched wore the prisoners at the kindness
of Gen. Mitchell, that when they returned to their gloomy
quarters they passed a series of resolutions, thanking the
officer for his kindness, and Gen. Mitchell for the courteer
he extended, and closing with the hope that the day mlebt
not be far distant when the soldiers of the gonth and the
defenders of the Union could shake hands and light by
each other's side in a common cense. The moral effect
of such an event is greater than that of a bolds. With

Boston to New Torkewhence, after remaining five days.

that port. Subsequently, while on ber way to the
Golf, she visited Havana, and in that port, by order of
Captain McKean, then in command, the first Seces
sion flag hauled down daring the rebellion was struck
by Limit- Potter. She was engaged in the bombardment
of Fort Mcßae, and brin' borne a solid shot which the
rebel artillerists lodged in her side, besides the marks
where several other. took effect. The ship has been re
ported stveral times to the Department as unseaworthy,
her hollers having been patched "from clew to ear
ring,' and the abip had been kept at eta only by the ex
ertions of her engineers. The boilers will have to be
exchanged for new ones, and it has been intimated that
the ship will receive an entirely new armament, similar
to that of the Minnesota.
