been ailing for a long time, and his com
plaint had become chronic, and caused fre.
qucnt spasms, which he bore with surnrising
torttude. A great many doctors worked on
him from time to time, until Dr. Buchanan
took charge of the case. lie had several
poutices prepared to put on my Uncle's
stomach and spleen, but the nurses either
never put them on, or else pulled them off
too quickly to do any good. After my
Uncle was dead, DR.. Buchanan tried to bring
him to blowing in his nose and saying some
charm words over him. Then he recon-
mendoza coroner's jury of 33 men to sit on
the body, but Cousin Hawkins and some
others declined because they thought it smelt
too bad, and so a great many of my cousins,
seeing that the old man was dead, started
home TO tell their mothers about it, and try
to comfort them. My Uncle had no money
about him when he died, but he has right

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILRoAD.
"A meeting of the Board Of Directors of
the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad was
held at this place on Thursday last, the 4th
inst. Il was full and important meeting,
and much interest was felt by the friends Of
the road in its doings and results. Matters
Of great importance were brought up for its
action. Among others, the entire road in
our part Of the State is 30 far completed that
the settlement between the contractors and
company was under consideration, and in q
final and satisfactory settlement to all par
ties---the company receiving the road from
the former take the whole control Of the
works in this State.
The continuation Of the line in Pennsyl-
vania, to junction with the Sunbury d
Erie Road, is TO be prosecuted without delay.
Chief Engineer Kennard left our place on
Friday last for New York, to hasten the i'm.
mediate shipment Of the balance of the rails
necessary TO the completion Of this road to
that point.
The further prosecution of the enterprise
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, to connection
with the Cleveland roads, and to Akron, will
be urged without delay, under the new con-
tracts now closed by the companies with
James McHenry, Esq, of Liverpool, Eng
ldnQs 1u6 HOEk IL W Dc uuGeE the luQule-
diate direction Of Mr.. Kennard, as Engineer
in-Chief Of the company, and DR.. s. ".
Streator, the late contractor, as Superinten-
dent Of the works.
Mr.. Kennard hopes to open the road for
traffic to Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, early
in the Fall, which he will, no doubt, be able
to do, as he will be promptly and fully sus-
tanned by the able capitalists in England,
France and Spain.
We cannot close this article without
slight tribute to the worth and abilities Of
the late contractor, DR.. Streator, of Cleve-
land, Ohio. Since 1853, when he threw his
energies into this great enterprise, in con-
nection with the lamented DR.. Doolittle, he
has been unremitting in his efforts to hasten
its successful completion.
And for more than year past, with an ex
tended line of works on his hands alone be
has met all its great demands and per-
plexities with signal ability, patience, energy
and success. he has mingled with our
citizens, and in all his transactions been
remarkable for kindness of manner, punctu-
ality in every engagement and the universal
frankness and urbanity of a gentleman. We
know of no dissenting voice TO the statement.
DR.. 3, we regret to say will heneeforth be oc-
cupied further west on the line Of the road,
and less among as. His services were de-
manded by the exigencies Of the road, and
Mr.. Kenrard and the company were deter
mined to avail themselves of his superior
acquaintance with the work, and eminent
faculties for lerthering its cgress.-JaHss-

MAJOR GESERAL McCLEILAHD.-The fol-
lowing incident is related of Gen. McClel-
land, who accompanied Gov. Dennison on
his visit to this city on Friday last. With
such Generals over them, our men may we'll
feel that they are in good hands. DR.. Thomp-
son is pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, Cincinnati. He relates that he was
recently seated in his study, when GENTLE
man requested an interview, which was
granted. He came to discuss the affairs of
the country, expressing his anxiety about
its condition, and at length requested the
Doctor to pray for the Republic and for him.
The Doctor of course complied, and after
further conversation on this theme, the gen
tleman requested the minister to pray loith
him. They knelt upon the floor, and the
visitor, in devout and eloquent petition, in
voked the aid and protection of the Almighty
in the struggle in which the Republic is in
volved. Ny visitor, said DR.. Thompson,
" WA Major General George B. McClelland.
It was the most touching and unaffected in
cident ever witnessed"

CLEVELAND, May 4.
EDITORS LEADER: beg the privilege ofa
little space in your columns, for the purpose
of few remarks in relation to the fund
sought to be raised in this city for the sup
port of the families of volunteers I regret
that any citizen of Cleveland should find it
necessary to complain of a failure of its
people to respond to a demand, which,
viewed as a mere act of humanity, appeals
in the strongest terms to the hearts of US all;
but when humanity, patriotism, and our
obligations to our fellow-men make it our
imperative duty to meet demand freely
and heartily, it stings to the quick to find
Cleveland derelict. The niggardly manner
in which the call for money for the support
of volunteers families has been answered,
is most disgraceful to our city, and will
fasten stigma on US which it will require
many good deeds to obliterate. If I am
rightly informed, only about $4,000 have
been subscribed for this purpose-a less sum
by several thousand dollars than has been
provided by many towns of our own and
other States, with populations not exceeding
ten thousand, and representing not one-hun-
dredth part of the wealth that Cleveland
does, and, of course, furnishing not one
fourth as many soldiers. In those cities
throughout the North of populations about
equal to that of Cleveland, 50 far as I have
been able to learn, amounts ranging from
SOS, 900 to $40, 900 have been subscribed
How ,pitiful, mean and contemplate, is it,
then, on the part of Cleveland, that only
$4,000 should be subscribed for an object
which has called out nearly ten times that
sum from cities no better able to give than
che. It is sincerely to be hoped that our
moneyed men-those men of whom Cleve-
land is proud, and who have done much in
the past to give her credit among her sister
cities, will not allow her in this, the most
worthy demand that has ever been made
upon her, to occupy POSITION in the hind
most rank; but will place her second to
none in generous care for those who are dear
to the noble hearts that have gone forward
to endure the tolls and hardships of war in
fighting our battles. Gcd forbid that they
should return home to find that Cleveland
had forgotten her pledge, and thst their
families had been neglected and permitted
to want during their absence.

has been falling in the estimation of all pa

many ansthemas muttered of late, when it

body seeming to be of opinion that it has a
little too much of the srlnny South about it.

May I'd, 1851.
All our boys are in good spirits except four
or Eve who have been on the sick list for a
week or 50, but are getting well. To-day we re-
ceived part of our uniforms, and in a few
days expect the rest.
On Monday we were mustered in and
sworn to support the Constitution of the U.
s., and the State of Ohio, and to obey our
superiors in command, and now we are all
in close quarters. No one is allowed to
leave the camp without pass from Col.

Mr.. Hutchinson left camp on Tuesday,
and believe he has started for home, his
health being to poor for him to go farther.
We cannot tell certainly how long we are
to remain here ; probably for two weeks.

TIE SICK ANp TEE HOSPITAL.

The Hospital at Camp Taylor, under the
professional superintendent of Drs. Prem
tice and Hopkins, is doing its full share of
duty. There are now above thirty patients
in the different wards besides those daily
ministered to who are still in the camp
Besides the measles, the diseases are chiefly
caused by exposure, and are mainly confined
to those who have, previous to their advent
into soldier life, followed sedentary pursuits.
The exception to this rule is those who have
impaired good constitutions by ezcesses.
The medical department is awarded high
praise O1 seI hands. The physicians are
not only skillful, and treat the sick volun-
teer with all the care and attention bestowed
on the best paying patients in private prac-
lice, but either DIR. Prentice or DR.. Hopkins
make it point of being in the Hospital
every hour of the day and night, relieving
each other at stated periods.
The ladies of Cleveland, ever forward in
doing duty as CANCELS of Mercy" have not
been unmindful of the wants of the sick,
and clothing, in the shape of clean linen,
and delieseies, such as jellies, ETC., SO CRATE
full to the palate of the sick, have flowed
into the Hospital in large quantities. Such
donations are ever thankfully received.
DEsERTEKs ARREsTED.
On Saturday policeman Boyd returned
from Defiance, where he had gone in search
of two dessrters from the Defiance Company
which is stationed at Camp Taylor. He
found the runaways and brought them back
with him. They protested that they "didn't
desert" only "thOught they would go home
and see the fol1s." They will find that that
is not an easy thing to do for soldiers.
WATERPROOF UNIFORMS, BLANKETS, &C.
E. H. Robson, ct No. 1s2 Superior street,
has just received quantity of .tslt blankets,
which are just the thing for our soldiers,
being perfectly water proof to all ordinary
storms. They viii hold water for hours
without letting it through. Then they are

equally favored yourself.
We attended Divine worship yesterday
morning at the Duke Street Methodist
Church, and in the afternoon we had service
at our quarters. The day was rainy and
quite uncomfortable, but the men bear all
such inconvenience with all the fortitude of

Some changes have taken place in our Of

is Quartermaster of the Regiment, and ca

to try and out-do the other in kindness. We

Yesterday was Sunday, and as we are all

about wives, mothers and sweethearts; of
how much we would give to get home and
