Its Progress toward CompletiOn.


The scene 'under the Hill - ON the Lake
Shore, at the foot of Bank Street, is poY-a-
days a very brisk and busy one, and con-
trasts very decidedly with that which
greeted the eyeofa visitor to Cleveland,
six months ago, from the window Of a
Pittsburgh or Buffalo car. The -congrega-
ton of rude huts which then covered the
hillside, in huddled, irregular and eonfps-
ed array, more like the prairie-dog villages
of Iowa than human habitations, have now
been swept away, and their inhabitants
are doubtless gone to populate similar ken
nels elsewhere. The railroad track, for
half mile, has been protected by huge
piles ofroeks, dumped into the lake, and
the tracks, which formerly ran along a
platform built on spiles, now rest on solid
''1nade ground. on which the depot is to
stand. A large,number Of men, with horses
and carts, ere engaged in making further
excavations in the hill, clearing away
ground for the depot and at the same time
extending the area Of the "made ground -
A large number of stone masons are also at
work in cutting and laying stone.
The business of laying the wall of the
depot is now well under way, excellent
ground having been made for it, and three
hundred feet of the north wall having been
laid to height of twelve feet above grade,
The total length of the building is to be six
hundred and three feet. The contract fo1
cutting and laying the stone in the hands
Of John worthington, Esq. John Drew is
foreman of thej job and has practical super
vision of it. Under his management the
work is processing rapidly and satisfactori'

Clough, of Amherst.

THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.
Letter from w. T.. BOarsiman, Esq.,
General Secretary.

Genefai secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2Oth, 1864.
L. F. MELLKS, EsQ-DEAR BRoTHER;-
Nothing could have been more timely than
the donation Of $1,000 from the "CIeveland
Army Committee The work Of the o. s.
Christian Commission has been vastly ex-
tended since the present active campai gn
was entered upon. e
We have now the most remarkable estab-
lishment for the relief and benefit of the
soldiers in the Army of the Potomac that
was ever connected with any. army since
the world began. Our delegates, of whom
the full corps is not less than hundred
during siege, and twice or thrice that num-
Der after battle, are our main dependence
for the work. With these, for their guild
ance and supply, we have small but per-
manent paid agency. a -5.I
In every army corps We have, a sta
tion with its store and Subsistence
tents, four horse wagon and team, agent,
and corps of delegation. At the base, City
Point, besides our business house, given by
the government for office and store, we
have dining tent and Post Office and
publication tent, and a receiving barge at
the landing, all properly manned and kept
in full work.
At the General Field Hospital, which is
a.eity of tents in itseE-torty Gcrssof hos
pitais in tents we have the most improv-
ing, complete, and useful establishment OF
all. Fifteen tents, most Of them the large
ri l., Il, ..NFt
army in the winter quarters on the Kappa
hammock, are now the diet kitchen, store,
post office, reading room, subsistence room,
6c., the quarters and supply depot for
fifty-eight delegates, at work night and
day, among gst 5000 patients in the hospitals
To all OF this may be added a steam fire
engine with 22OO Ieet of hose, which fur
nishes an abundance of pure water for the
whole hospital, and for sprinkling all the
ground every day This was found so use
ful and Indispensable that the government
has taken charge of it. q.
Now if there is any one thing besides
the country and the government which
the soldier fights for, their chiefs leading
them on to victory, and OF which they are
proud and grateful, and full of praise, 1t Is
the Christian Commission. "God bless the
Christian Commission. What the people
give to you the soldiers get; ! don't know
what we could have done wiehout you," is
the substance of what was said to me at
every turn of my recent tour, and by every
body, from the highest in command to the
privates and drummer boys of the army.
We need $4,000 to distribute an the
trenches, to the worn, watching, working,
fighting men, to save them from sinking
and cheer them for duty. One veteran
saved is worth two green men enlisted,
but how much more are their souls worth
Help US all you can Thank the people
over and over for what they have done.
God bless you.
W. E. BoARDMAN.

CHAsE's MIxsrRELs.-This unrivalled
band of Corkonians, from Bryanfs and
Woods Minstrels in New York City, will
make their first appearance in this city to-
morrow evening-nOt this evening, as, un-
der misapprehensiOp, we stated yesterday
morning. The troupe is composed OF the
les-lsz members of both the famous troupes
mentioned above, who are spending the
summer vacation in a Western tour. We
know of no better names in the profession
than those of Reed, Fox, Hilton, &c. The
troupe are now meeting with immense sue

A DIsAFFECTED CREw.-The Detroit Tri-
bune says that the Schooner Starlight,
Capt. Meany, arrived at that port on Friday
forenoon, short her crew before the mast,
numbering six men. As this is matter
which deserves airing in order that other
masters Of vessels may not be betrayed by
the seoundrels in qestion, we purpose Civ
ing the following reasons why this vessel
has been detained there since her arrival,
now some three days, in quest Of another
crew. The Captain at Buffalo shipped Har-
vey Fox, James Winch, James Weferi j.
Lawson, Robet Fletcher and Hugh Doran,
who signed shipping articles for voyage to
Saginaw, the vessel TO call at the Islands
and take on stone for the latter port. While
at the Islands and near the close of the
DAYS labor they refusef doing further duty,
giyingas a reason that they had labored the
given number Of hours for a days service
usually expected of men shore and were
not bound to respect their duty on ship
board. With this state of affairs the Capt
had no other alternative there being no
law officers at handy only to dismiss them
from the vessel. To this they gladly as
sented, leaving the vessel at the mercy of
the elements on lee shore. Under the
above circumstances, according to maritime
law, they of course forfeited their pay
They however, were not to be baffied in this
way. They took passage on small stea-
ner for sandusky and shortly returned
with an officer who assumed to be clothed
with sufficient authority to demand their
pay, or take from the vessel enough Of her
outfit to satisfy the claim. The Captain,
however, not wishing to hazard any further
risk of his vessel on an iron-bound coast,
Welded to the officers demands, after which
came on to this port with his two mates and
cook, alone, to work the vessel. Our own
with Captain Meany is sutt
cient guaranty that the above statement is
correct, and we give it that others may be
on their guard and avoid giving the above
named sailors sea room on their deeka.

CoLLFsIoE.-A collision took place on
Wednesday evening in the St. Clair River,
opposite Port Huron, between the bark D.
N. Foster, downward bound and grain load
ed, and the schooner Oneida Chief, bound
up in ballast. The Foster attempted to
come in stays, but, owing to the ightness
of the breeze, failed in SO doing, when she
paid off, colliding as above noted. The
damage to the former vessel is estimated at
800, while that of the latter is stated to be
about $500. The Foster has partially com
pleted her repairs, and passed down yester-
day evening.

The MINERS SrRIKE.-The owners of the
coal mines in the vicinity of Massillon and
the striking miners have settled their diff

miner 81, so per ton. So states the Massil-

Card nom Captain saaord,
FoRr STEVENS, Jnly 28d, 1854. I
WASHINGTON, d. O..

EDITOR CLEVELAND LEADRR:--l noticed in
copy of tbe Leader short time ago,
"card" from II. c. Laundon Of Elyria IN re-
ply to an article of my=oWn, published in
your paper on the eth inst. It will bere-
membered that in his s'card'' addressed to
me, Mr.. Lsundon states that in conse-
quenee of my neglect in making out the
necessary papers, ne and Lieutenant Bald
win were compelled to pay, out of their
own pockets, the sum of one hundred and
ninety four dollars (Sl94,0 for expenses
incurred by my command while in Elyria.
In reply to this l wish to say that did
make out the necessary papers on Monday
morning, before leaving Elyria. The Major
furnished me two blanks which filled out
remember this distinctly, inasmueh as my
Lieutenent II. L. Turner, in my absence
signed the returns-whose signature, on my
return, the Major desired me to erase, and
substitute my own, which did. The Ma
jor must BE- aware of this fact.
Farther-iti is simply absurd for Major
LaundOn to endeaYor to maintain that he
and the Lieutenant paid ont the sum of
SI94,OO on my company's account. This
absurdity am prepared TO show from his
own AdjutanPs IN. NJ. Lincoln y report,
which report l obtained from him last
evening. The Adjutant has the report
still in his possession, which can be fur
nished the Major if he desires.
According to this report, the sum total
expended for my company while in Elyria
was seventy dollars and fifty cents
(S73, SOY. This, it will be seen, is but little
over one third the amount claimed by the
major to have been expended by himself
in this matter. In fact the expense could
not have been the amount he claims.
Such are the facts in the case. Of the
former part of my present statement, /
have positive proof that the blanks fur
nished me were filled out. Of the latter
part, refer the Major to his oion adjNfqHfs
report, from whom received the data here
given.
I am very respectfully your obedient
servant, A. A. Stafford,
