IXEN sfSfEN 0r Rf0KflfiHe.-
Recruiting by the City at iarge..-A
Memorial 70 the city Council.

4
The following memorial has been pre-
pared for presentation before the City eoun-
ell at their meeting tomorrow evening
IT has met with general appreciation where
ever it has been proposed, and viii doubt
less receive favorable consideration from
the city fathers.
s'WHsfeas, At the last session of theLegis-
| lature of Ohio a law was enacted authoriz-
| ing the municipal authorities Of cities, and
the trustees of townships, to levy tax up
on property and pay aloeal bounty, not ex-
eeeding 500, to each recruit. - r. :
Therefore, the undersigned, citizens and
| tax payers Of the City of Cleveland, would
respectfully request that the proper means
be taken by your honorable body to carry
into effect the above law-thereby doing
away with the local competition between
the several Wards, and making the amount
of bounty uniform, to be paid into thu
hands Of the recruit himself, who viii then
be credited on the quota Of the city z.at
large"
The action proposed by this memorial
has already been taken elsewhere. Cincin-
natl is moving in the matter, several large
public meetings having been held and
committees appointed to carry the meas
ure into effect. The modus operaadi of the
new system is as follows. A Central Re.
eruiting Office should be opened for the
benefit of the city at large, and should be
placed in the hands Of the Mayor and a
committee of citizens appointed by the
Council. The local bounty should be paid
in to the hands of the recruit himself, and
not into the hands of the seoundrelly and
swindling bounty sealpers." This sys-
TEN of raising bounties by a general tax,
and of paying them to the recruits them
selves, through the agency Of city or com
ty officers, has worked admirably in Buff
falo and other large cities Of the State OF
New York. The history Of recruiting ia
this city has shown that the old system
has thrown the work OfraisIng Dou.rty mon
ey and enlisting recruits on the shoulders
Of few men in each Ward, and, because OF
competition between Wards and the want
Of systematic and united artion, has made
bat work much more Jurdensome than
is needful. The present system does away
with this system of competition. Itdividcs
the work equally among the Wards of the
city, and, by imposing a tax for the purpose
eff raising the bounty, makes the rich man
bear his proportion of the burden, and gives
the disloyal and unpatriotie no chance to
escape from doing their share.
Another advantage which will result from
this system is an increased facility for re-
cruiting. This city, united, could place
an agent in Alabama or Georgia to recruit
five hundred or q thousand eontrabands
and credit them to this city, proceeding
authorized under the new Enrolment Act.
This step could not be taken by any separate
Ward of the city. Such step would add
large number Of able-bodied soldiers to,
the Union army and would save an equal
number of our own citizens from draft Let
Us commence the work at once, before other
towns get the start of us.

On saturday evening, about eleven O.
clock, the south section of the old Center
Block. on the corner of Center and Colum-
bus streets, owned by Ransom and Cobb
and occupied by them as Sash and Blind
Factory, fell in, the whole partition from
cellar to roof giving way at once. We
learn the following particulars from the
private watchman employed at the build
ing. i=5 -
The watehman states that just before
eleven O'Clock he had been through the
building, finding everything quiet. Just
as he stepped into the street he heard a
slight sound as of the scratching of cat or
dog, coupled with the breaking of glass
he was going back to ascertain the cause,
when he heard a rumbling. and ominous
sound, and had barely time to escape into
the street before the whole southern parti-
tion fell with loud coneussion. The bull
ding is built in partitions, each of which
extends from cellar to garret, and SO the
whole partition fell without disturbing the
rest of the building in the least. Indeed,
tools are hanging undisturbed on the
south side of the now-standing wall, thus
suddenly converted into the outside of the
building. A large amount of machinery
il entirely destroyed by the accident, and
the engine is completely covered by the
filling walls. 1t is thought however that
the engine is not materially injured. The
total damage is estimated at from five to
ten Thousand dollars. - as HH.t
g 1t is most fortunate that the building fell
during the night, when the men had quit
ted work, and the fires were out, as other
wise the less of life and destruction of prop
erty by fire would have been unavoidable.
u The cause of the accident is supposed 10
be the settling Of the southern nnriinn Of
Uns fOunaaIIoh, and the gradual loosening of
the walls from weight and jar ofmachinery.
The building was erected in 1885, and is
among the oldest used for manufacturing
nlIrnoses in the eity

A New JoHNsoSs IsL4KD PLoT.--A Tor
onto, Canada, correspondent of the New
York Herald, says that new plot is ap-
preaching maturity in that city, which has
for its object the release of rebel prisoners
st Johnson's Island and the destruction of
Fort Niagara; that large sums have been
subscribed by leading Torontonians, and
the services of every rowdy in Toronto have
been engaged. The plan most popular
among these vagabonds, is that, on agiven
6ight, to be understood between the pris-
oners and marauders, the buildings are to
be fred, and the prisoners, being furnished
with arms by the Canadians, are to massa-
ere the guard and the officers of the gar
rison, and then escape in boats to the land
of neutral Johny Bull.

The steamer Iron City mhieh arrived
from Lake Superior on Saturday, brings
further particulars in regard to the wreck
ing of the Illinois, which gives us the hope
that she may be got of without serious
damage. 1t seems that she got on the rocks
during a severe squall, while backing out
of Eagle river. Her stern is entirely of wa
ter and the water is not over her main deck
forward. Her stern has been shored up
with heavy timber, cut in the woods, to
keep her from breaking. shei is, however 4,
still in bad position, if a high sea should
rise. Her furniture aud bedding have been
removed, to guard against such pOssibili-
ty. The severe storm of Monday did not
injure her in the least. Mr.. Watson, of the
Cliff Mines, was expected to send her four
teen inch pump and forty men to assist in
getting her of, and the steamer Michigan
was on her way to her relief with a steam
pump. There is very little doubt that the
Illinois will soon resume her place on the
Lake Superior Line. s.r

K OF the l50th, are the nearest to the battle
ground, which in fact takes its name from
the latter fort, and these forts are. we be-
lIeye the only ones which opened fire on
the rebels. We have gathered from va
Tious sources the following account of their
part in the defense.
Company x. from Oberlin, garrisoned
Fort Stevens, which is on the Rockville
road, FIVE miles due north from Washing
ton 1t is well mounted with AZ inch
riiied and siege guns. The 18th Michigan
battery was also in the fort Fort sIocum

pany G, from the west side, and the I4th
Michigan battery It is similarly mounted.
Both are strong Qualifications and were
well prepared against the approach Of an
enemy.49 0i s5EE rl1la 6 %
On Monday last, at noon, our piekets were
driven in and the enemy appeared in force
in front OF the forts. They approached
in fact within two hundred yards Of the
fort and the rebel sharpshooters picked of
gQood many in the riae-pits, In the az
ternoop both forts opened fire on the rebels
witt. considerable effect, They neyerthe-
less continued their advance and establish
ed strong line of battle on the crest of the
opposite hill, about eight hundred yards
distant. The arrival orveteran troops Of
tho sixth Gorps, in force, made great
difference, however, in the plans of the
rebels, and, ON Tuesday evening, a severe
engagement took place, in which the reb-
obs were driven back two mites and the
siege of Washington was asterminated. Thi S
engagement is termed the battle Of Fort
Stevens, but as, So far as we can learn.
none of the I5Oth tool, part in is, we shall
nor go into details regarding it.
The 10th took active part in skirnish-
ing and picket duty, during the siege, but
were singularly exempt from loss. But
one casually has occurred, SO far as we
have yet heard. A member of Company
X, young man by the name Of Leach,
from Pittsfeld, was MORALLY wounded in
the abdoman on Monday arI L., si.'vv
died.
The boys conducted themselves in the
m 1st gallant and handsome manner, and
won high praise from their officers, 1t
seems that they fought under the eyes
OF President Lincoln and lady and their
distinguished visitors who came out to
see the aGray. The Washington Chronicles
reporter makes the following mention of
them:

when intruth Co. X oftheir regiment was
the most active in the work performed at
the fort, and did the most damage to the
Rebels. Let them have the credit, for the
work was well done. i-f
