MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 16 CITY AND - NEIGIIOIIIIOOD INTELLIGERK. Meeting °fathoms in Aid *four Sick and Wounded. A. meeting of citizens was held at the Merchants' Exchange, at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon,to hear the report of the Sanitary Commission sent to Virginia to minister to our sick and wounded soldiers and to devise ways and means to carry out the suggestions of the Commission. The meeting was organized with the fol lowing_ officers: President—Thos. Bake well; Vice President—Reuben Miller, jr.; Secretaries—R. H. Davis and D. O'Neill. D. P. Lowery, Esq., read the report of the Commission, whicn was accepted and the papers requested to publish it. The report was es follows : The Committee sent out by the Sanitary Commission, to the army now occupying the country in front of Richmond, beg leave to report, as follows: TAI WOUNDED seem to be well cared for. They are found in hospitals in Fortress Monroe, Balti more, Washington City, Philadelphia, New York, Sce., and are made as comfor table as the most skilful surgical talent, and the tenderest and most watchful nurs ing can make them. Kind hands of the gentler sex soothe the noble fellows' brows and minister to every want. These re marks are in no way applicable to the HOSPITALS AT YORKTOWN, which in their sanitary and dietetic ar rangements are, to say the very best for them that truth will permit : most misera ble. We are glad to know that the Gov ernment is about to take steps for the re moval of the sick and wounded to more comfortable quarters. HOSPITALS AT WHITE HOUSE Here there are at present about 1500 soldiers, most of whom are sick. They are comparatively comfortable and well provided for. The General Sanitary Coin vi,%%asion of New York has its representa tive,: here,and noble ladies, having left the eeei g ) ,:ts of home and the charms of socie ty, labor u sssiduously to promote the com fort of the en. But in the medical direc tory at this t there is something radi cally wrong. mCis are oftentimes ordered i from their blankets n the tent to their regiments in the field v•ho are wholly unfit for dity. BETON') 110f:SIZ, in the field, the great want is seen, the great suffering to be alleviated is found.— Scattered all along our lines, in every reg iment, there are bound the sick and suffer ing. these men have surgical attention and are waited upon by comrades detailed for that duty or voluntarily bestowing it, it is trae, but are in many, very many instances • without shelter, tents—arc lying upon the ground, and their diet con sists of hard crackers and salt pork. How the poor sick man, whose taste longs with inexpressible yearnings for something pal atable and refreshing, loathes this coarse, improper food and he turns from it in dis guct. But this is the best the government eau do. just steps in at this voila and here finds its field of suceessffil operation and most gratefUlly received attention. Oat: of the regular army surgeons fitly and justly ex pressed the sentiments of the entire force in the field, when he said : •`The Sanitary Commission is the best friend the soldier has, and the most efficient helper of the :surgeon." he establishment of head-quarters at White House, in a tent provided for the purpose and presided over by the chief - director of the commission, would be ac cessible from all points along our line via the railroad running thence to Fair Oak statim;.lt would also afford direct eons municat.;on with Fortress Monroe and the outer wail l beyond. Here supplies could be received, and being sent to a small depot establis. bed at Fair Oaks, they could be disbursed r•L'actilY to all places where our boys are foun d and in need. All that is necessary t o _ r i ia b:e this plan practicable and successful---is foi - the people to con tribute (and their contributions should be generous) of their means to further the object. The co-operation of the War Department should be obtained, and this, we doubt not, can be easl,y effected, and then it only remains for the right kind and the right number of devoted nut-es, to take their lives in their hands, eneouizter all risks, and, trusting to Almighty God, to go forth upon this errand of mercy, prompt ed by an ardent desire to do good, to re lieve suffering and to exercise gentleness, patience and unwearying vigilance and a • pure christianity in behalf of and toward our brave troops. It is essential that those who go should be selected only with reference to their fitness for this life of self-denial and this mission of benevolence. No one should proffer his services who is not actuated by the holiest impulses, who has not a due appreciation of his uties, and who is not ' willing to devote all his energies to the work. We would warn any one against sing from any motive of curiosity or set ,fiagess; we would advise all to- go pre -,paxeilfor scenes of indescribable suffering, t-79r bwic work and for every emergency. EMEEMSEEI mai be moat gratifying. The sick soldier W y sdair this care will have new hopes in e,in.N, deeper feelings of patriotism will ber d i r :ed within him and many a hundred who oth..ewile will "pine away and die" w i ll b e re tored to the fond embraces of -loved ones at . b°lne At the su Von of Postmaster Von Bonnhorst, ges Hon. `tobert McKnight, who city, was requested to is temporarily in the inform the meeting as !•0 the recent action taken by Congress towar3s improving the sanitary condition of the sold ie nite rs. House He re lated what he had seen at , Va., which convinced the fourteen mem bers of Congress there present thatprompt measures were necessary. On their return to Washington a committee, appointed on_ board the boat, called first upon the Surgeon General and then upon the Secretary of War, who, at their request, appointed on the following day, an Assistant Surgeon General and five medical Directors, under the provisions of a bill already passed.— These have been confirmed by the Senate and have assumed their duties. Since that time forty additional Surgeons and eighty . 'siatant.

He approved of the recommen dations of. the recommendations of the committee and hoped all who went on as nurses ehould go with a determination to live their undivided attention to the corn of the noblesoldiers now suffering from sease and wounds, contracted in our entry's service. "he President, Mr. Bakewell, then offer he and resolutions : UAW, Thereport of Messrs. Lowary, bitt and Irwin, the committee recent siting the battle-fields of Eastern is, clearly 'tows the necessity for nig Immediate and effective relief rtance for such of the volunteers 'stern Pennsylvania, as are now \frut wounds or diming, contract - . et - while patrioticink )beams their lives in the detence.of their homes, their fami lies and their firesides, and Waveless, it is the imperative duty of those citizens whose circumstances may prevent them from engaging in active ser vice, to contribute liberally towards such measures as may be adopted for allevia ting the sufferings of those psrsons who are actively engaged in the present ardu ous contest, Therefore, Resolved, That the Sanitary Committee are authorized to accept the services of such judicious and competent persons as may -volunteer to proceed to Eastern Vir ginia to attend to the necessities of our sick and wounded in such manner as may most effectually contribute to their relief, and who will remain there while the ne cessity may exist for their continuance. Resolved, That in case a sufficient num ber of persons should not volunteer for this purpose, that the Sanitary Committe are hereby authorized and directed to en gage judicious and competent male nurses, not exceeding twenty, to be paid for their services a reasonable compensation, and this meeting pledges itselt to provide the funds to carry its proceedings into effect, for payment of such nurses and providing medicines and other necessaries for the sick and wounded volunteers. Resolved, That we recommend to the Sanitary Committee the appointment of an Assistant Director to co-operate with F. R. Bruno? Esq. Resolved, T 1 'hat F. R. Brunot, Esq., now at Washington, be respectfully request ed to act as Director of the volunteer as sistant nurses in Eastern Virginia, to whom they shall report and by whom their pro ceeding shall be regulated. Resolved, That the various Ward and Township Committees, who have been ap pointed to collect funds for the Sanitary Committee ? are urgently requested to proceed with their duties. and report without delay to Jas. Park, jr., Treasurer Qf the Sanitary Fund, by whom all cont.; butions will be thankfully received. Resolved, That those Wards and Tow ships in which Collecting committees have not been appointed, or reported, to act are requested forthwith to appoint cow: mittees and report as above. Mr. Shannon spoke at some length in favor of the resolutions, which were unan imously adopted: On motion of Mr. Park, 0. 0. Phillips, Esq., from the first commission sent out, read a report showing what they had done, which was adopted, as follows: Your committee beg leave to report that they visited the different government hos t pitals in Baltimore and found there a con siderable number of sick and wounded from Allegheny county. The accommo dations were good and the men seemed in every instance thoroughly satisfied with the treatment and attention bestowed on them. From Baltimore we went to Fortress Mon roe. There were very few Pittsburghers in the hospital here, but those few we were informed were doing well. At Yorktown your committee found quite a number of Western Pennsylvanians, lying sick in the houses vacated by the rebels, and in the shanties and tents scattered around the town. Not having any medical stores with us, and no means or authority for the re moval of any of the patients, we were un able to render them much assistance. But our presence seemed to cheer their droop ing spirits, and whenever it was tbund that delicacies suitable for the sick could be 1 purchased, your committee distributed money among the most needy, through which many little comforts were brought within their reach which they might net othesirise have been able to obtain. The hospital accommodatious at Yorktown were not by any means good, and some of our Pennsylvanians complained of neglect and flivoritism on the part of the Eastern physicians. Many of the buildings were crowded to excess, while numbers, suffer ing from fever and other kindred diseases, were huddled together in teats with the damp ground fora bed and a blanket their covering. Arrangements were being made at the time of our visit for improving the hospital accommodations there, but to what extent they were carried out your commit tee is unable to state. We reached White House at night and left next morning for Baltimore Cross Roads, about nine miles inland, where part of our army were en camped. Durtng our stay with the army we visited, with a single exception, the dif ferent regiments raised in IN estern Penn sylvania, and those Pittsburgh companies ser_ving in other regiments. The men us a general thing we found in good condition, but many of the regiments had suffered severely from exposure before Yorktown, 1 and the hospitals and houses along the route contained more or less of their sick. Your committee visited the sufferers wherever praMicable, and did all in their power to relieve their immediate wants.— fhere are very few sick with the army, those who were unable to do duty or ac company it in its daily marches having been left behind on the road. These Illell are for the most part without either prop er treatment or accommodation, and it would be an act, of mercy to the poor suf. ferers it' steps were taken through which their removal to White House, or some place where they might receive proper at tention, could be effected. Your commit tee cannot point to any very important re sults as arising from their labors; still they feel satisfied that their mission was not !wholly without good. It served to show our soldiers that they were not forgotten at home, tied front the manner in which your committee wail received by both offi cers and men, it was evident that the inter est which Allegheny county took in her sons, as evinced by the visit of yourcom mittee, was gratefully and warmly appre ciated. If your committee did not accom plish more it was simply because they lack ed the power. The spirit was willing but the means were wanting. The committee could not procure the removal of a single man, no matter what his complaint or con dition, and as for supplying the sick with delicacies, nothing of the kind could be purchased at any price. Your committee feelingthemseivespowerless, as it were, to act,. and there being no prespect then that their services could be of any avail, dee:i dod to return, after having passed nearly a week altogether in the camp. On our way home we visited the hospitals at Fortress Monroe, Baltimore, Wgzhington and Phil adelphia; also the Reseries 4e «Federicks burg, and saw nearly all the sick Western Pennsylvanians there. They are being well cared for and emild not be more com fortable if at home. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. M. Shinn, Esq., thought a strong ef fortshould now be made to collect money, if the system already adopted had failed (and the Treasurer informed him that but $6OO had been received more than was necessary to pay for the expedition to PittsburgLanding)another should beadopt ed. He therefore offered the following, which was passed : Resolved, That the Sanitary Committee be advised to appoint a suitable general collecting committee, authorized to collect money for sanitary purposes, throughout the two fj ties and surrounding boroughs and townships. A. W. Foster, Esq., offered a resolution calling upon the ministers of the sprat coi;gregations of the county to take up col lections for the Sanitary Commission in their respective churches on Sunday next ' , eel return the proceeds to the Secretary 't , sa bo t iv AL U. This *le discussed at some length and opposed 1,` 4 4i indraostion,Mr. Parke offer ing t h e tell, , wing substitute. which was :re adopted by a majority: R eso l ve d, Th a t ,`lie Secretaries of the meeting be and they are hereby requested to have printed notices tolifi read from the pulpits bythepasters of the several church es of Pittsburgh and Allegheny county, calling the attention adieu members to the effort nowmakingby *ego:diary COm =idea, hi raise money to defray the ezperi penses of the laudable mission under eon templation—the pastors informing their members that their coatributione can be . , handed to the Treasurer of the Sanitary Commission. The meeting then adjourned. The committee will meet this morning at 10 o'clock at the office of the Western In• surance Co. Any persons desirous of thing in the ca pacity of nurses are requested to make ap plication to the committee at 10 o'clock this morning, with their testimonials, ifun known to the members of the Committee. We are authorized by the Commission to say that any fresh fruits, jellies or other delicacies for the sick and wounded sol diers, left at Park, McCurdy 8 Co.'s warehouse, before 4 o'clock this afternoon, will be sent on immediately. Fresh but ter, in small crocks, with layers of salt at bottom and top, will be very acceptable. The Bridging 01 the Ohio.

Delegate Meeting in MeClaire Tp, The Democracy of McClure township met at Eckert's Hotel on Saturday to elect delegates to the County Convention. R. 11. Kerr and C. Gerber were' duly chosen to represent the township. Mr. Kerr presented the followi ng which were fully agreed to unanimously, and or dered to be 'published in the Dispatch. Chronicle and Post. Resolved, That the delegates are hereby requested to procure the nomination of a full Democratic ticket, and in no instance to affiliate with the enemies of the Consti tution, and should the Convention order otherwise, then the delegates withdraw, as it is the desire of loyal citizens to sustain the Union and harmonize to restore our country to its former prosperous condition and the Democracy to power, for in every instance the country has been most pros perous when they have administered the government. They Aire to the Union of the States what the Bible is to the Chris tians. We most heartily endorse the prompt reply of General. John A. Dix : %Shoot down the man who trill attempt to pull down the American flag." Resolved, That the candidates for legis lative favor, to procure our votes, must pledge c willing support in favor of equal izing taxation in the county, we require and authorize, in addition to property now held and made liable for county purposes, that all kinds of property, real and personal, of whatever nature or kind, either in stocks investedinbanks, corporation, or incorpo rated coMPanies, such as bridges, insurance, bonds, mortgages, &c., &c., and that any and all general and special laws exempt ing property real or personal in Allegheny ccunty from taxation be repealed, and that all taxable property hereafter shall be ap plied to the payment and support of said county, as lands and tenements are now made taxable under existing laws, for such purposes; this would reduce the pres ent rates of taxation more than one half. $27,000,000 have now to pay for every thing, and this would increase the valua tion to $00,000,000. Is it not worthy of trial? Delegates to the State Conven- J. Alex. Fulton and Silas M.
