Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-07-13

We publish this morning an important
order from the Provost Marshal, which
authorizes those not lia5Ee to draft to put in
substitutes that are liable.
This order win reduce the price of sub
stuthtes. It is not necessary that our
wealthy men should pay an alien three or
four hundred dollars. They can put in
man already enrolled, for muchless. They
can put in two or three enrolled men, for
the same money paid 10 alien or those not
liable to draft mo ~
what Canadian Paper thinks OF the
late accident on the Grand Trunk n. II.
The Toronto Globe says: re- e
But the evidence thus far taken reveals a
number of facts with regard to the man
agement of the great highway of travel
through the Province, Of such a nature
that we should not feel justified in abstain
ing from comment upon them, until the
Investigation IS brought to a final close
Where the credit Of the country Is at
stake, it becomes necessary to speak out at
once. lest the impression should 90 abroad
that the people of Canada quietly acqui-
esce in the treatment to which emigrants
are subjected, when they are induced by
agents Of the Grand Trunk to take passage
by that line on their way to their future
homes in the West. On the other hand, a
condemnation of what is wrong, even if it
may not Immediately cure the evil, is at
least a guarantee that the public attention
has. been directed to the subject, and that
that viii be done which a regard to the
claims of humanity as well as our own rep
utatiOn and interest requires at our hands.
And we hesitate not to say, that nothing
has occurred for many day more ealcu-
lated to bring Canada into discredit abroad,
and to deter intending emigrants in Eu-
rope from setting foot upon our shores, than
the recent accident at Beloeil, and especi-
ally the state of facts as to the ordinary
everyday management Of the Grand
Trunk, and their method of passing on en-

A Curious Case of Burying Alive.
From the Washington Intelligeneer, July Q.
A slight mistake was made day before
yesterday in one of the hospitals at City
Point, which caused a futter among the
patients. A wounded soldier was pro-
nonnced dead by a surgeon, and the ward
master caused him to be put in his coffin
for.burial CETE.T .-.-E sr. .Is
The brethren of the Christian Commits
sion attended the remains 10 the grave
opened the Coffin, and were proceeding
with the burial service, when the soldiers
hand was observed to move. On closer ex-
animation it was discovered that life was
not extinct The fatigue party detained
to bury the poor fellow refused to "let up
on him" saying they had ordered to bury
the party and must do it.
The humane gentlemen Of the Commis
sion intimated that they 'would make
corse of him. who should attempt to bury
the man before they were satisfied he was
dead, and he was carried back to the hos
pital. The surgeon who ordered the burial
was called for, who still eontended that the
man was dead, and the movement of his
fingers was a muscular contraction some
times observed in defunct bodies.
Other surgeons, however, discovered pull
sation, and the man lived till the next
morning, when he was buried. Our intor-
mant says the case is to be reported TO the
proper officers.
