Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-06-20

Yesterday morning we visited the scene
Of these labors and found that some twenty
or more noble young men, and number of
I ladies, had been up all night administering
j to the wants ofthe soldiers No ambulan-
ces or officials had, as yet, made their ap-
pearanee. another bOunteous repast was
being served out to the sufferers Ladies,
like angels Of mercy, were freely mingling
with the wounded, administering to their
wants and speaking words Of cheer to the
distressed. Ryland Chapel presented q
scene to touch the heart On the seats re-
elined the sufferers while ladies were
bathing their broWs and tanning their
heated faces. One sweet-looking little
girl anxious to have a part in the good
work, was moving about among the less
disabled soldiers, distributing copies Of a
Sabbath school paper. The Episcopal
Church was opened for the soldiers Sunday
morning, and large number were placed
in that cool and comfortable retreat. We
would like to specify BY name some Of
those who were specially active in kind
Offices, but these noble acts were 50 univer-
sal, and perVading the entire community,
with here and there an exception, that we
forbear to partieularize. Too much praise
cannot be given to the ladies and gentle
men of the Island for the prompt manner
in which they responded to the call of suf-
feFing humanity. SD is s......s ....5-'f
The Washington correspondent of the
NY. Evening Post says: a,
The wounded Of Gen. Shields advance
forces I5Rho arrived here yesterday were
not properly taken care Of after their ar
rival. They were indebted to the favor Of
Union citizens, ard not to the Government,
fOF immediate attention. Some Of the poor
fellows died before the Government sur
geons arrived. The rebel prisoners on the
other hand, were generously received by
the secesh females of this place, who
brought cake, wines, and other good things.
Though the government found il difficult to
ascertain the hour Of the arrival Of the
wounded soldiers, the secesh women SEEM
ed to know by instinct the moment the train
arrived with rebel prisoners. 1t had not
been in town twenty minutes before some
Of these women were endeayoring to get
something to eat and to drink into the cars.
The War Department is at work to-day-
trying,tO discover who is to blame for the
neglect Of Shields wounded men who ar
rived yesterday. The surgeon at Front
Royal had no medicines in his possession,
and he was ordered to report at Washing
ton for being without them, but upon ex-
animation It turns out that he made re-
QUESTION upon q brigade general, and was
refused the needed supplies on the ground
that the suffering men belonged to a differ
ent brigsdel Surgeon Hays, who accom-
panied the men up, was this morning dis
missed through mistake, as he did all
that was in his power for the men in his
care. As soon as the facts are known he
win be reinstRted. ~
