Major n. HI. Mclean.
10 National mtelliqencsr saws:


Inquiry was made some time ago in re"
lation to the case of Major N. 81. Mclean,
of Ohio, to which the Secretary of War has
replied that that officer was ordered to
Vancouver because it was deemed expedi
ens TO the service that he should go thither,
and that it has never been the practice OF
the Department to furnish copies OF char
ges affecting the capacity or fidelity of its
officers previous to taking action upon their
cases. The Secretary says It is not deemed
compatible with the public interests to make
further answer
There were no charges against Major
Mclean, Of any kind whatever. He was
On duty IN Cincinnati at the time of being
ordered to Fort Vancouver, and the COM
mander Of the Department of Ohio and
others high in rank urgently requested that
he be permitted to remain 1t seems, how
ever that lie kne,o too much for the comfort
of Secretary STANTON and his friend, Cap
tain HURT, OF Ohio; and was likely be a
very disagreeable witness against the Cap
tain before the court martial which was
about to sit for the Investigation of various
gross frauds in the Quartermaster's depart
ment Accordingly lit was deemed expe-
dent to the service" that Major Mclean be
spirited away to Fort Vancouver, on the
Pacific Coast, and the Secretary says sit is
not deemed compatible with the public in
terests" to answer why he was sent.
This is a great Country-and growing.
1t can stand greater amount OF stealing
than any other nation under the sun, and
our officials manifest wonderful ingenuity
in helping their friends. When it is deem
ed expedient to their service, the public in
terests Immediately demand the removal of
witnesses to the Pacific Coast, or elsewhere
out Of reach.

The remarks| of President LINCOLN at
the opening of the Maryland Fair, report
of which was contained in our dispatches
yesterday, concerning the massacre at Fort
Pillow, will be received with general appro.
baton. The policy of retaliation is dread
ful one, but there seems to be no other way
of meeting the case. Desperate diseases
require desperate remedies. In view of all
the difficulties which have been brought on
by the employment of negro troops; the
complications in which it has involved the
question of exchange, by which hundreds
of brave white men have been left to Ian
guish and die in the rebel prisons; the
pitch of evaporation to which it has raised
the rebels, eliminating in the recent afro
cities TT Fort Pillow; and the fearful and
revolving necessity now imposed upon US OF
shedding innocent blood for others guilt, it
NAV we'll be doubted whether all the good
the negroes have ever done or are capable
of doing will balance the suffering their
employment has caused. They have won
no battle, purchased no triumph for the
Federal arms, but have only served to pro
mote dlssension among the friends of the
Union and concord among it's foes. Since
they have been employed to fight for us, of
course they are entitled to and should have
our protection, but the expeciency of put
ting them in the ranks as soldiers is anoth :

A HARD CAsE.-Several months ago a
negro servant was charged in New Orleans
by Paymaster H. K. Lawrence, of Wis
consin, with robbing him of $50, 600, and,
after first being numerically whipped, the
negro was sentenced to hard labor at the
Dry Tortugas for life. The Washington
correspondent of the Advertiser says facts
have recently come to the knowledge Of the
War department fixing the guilt on Law
renee himself. Secretary Stanton arrested
him in Washington few days ago and put
him in the cid Capital prison. Twenty
thousand dollars have been recovered and
papers found on him duplicating a New
York contractor named Peck. He was also
taken to the old Capital to await a trial
by the Military Commission. An order
has been sent to Tortugas to release the
negro. .t. .4asr 4Hrsf

The TENTH OF SEPTENBER.-Saturday last
the anniversary of the famous battle and
victory fought and gained by Commodore
Perry-passed without any public recogni-
tion, even in this city, where few years
ago, the statue of the noble old Commodore,
which now adorns our Park, was dedicated
with grandeur and brillisncy of ceremo-
NAL which Cleveland has never seen paraI-
leled before or since. Without public reeog-
milton, we say, for doubtless many, in da-
ting letter, or making an entry or posting
a ledger, said to themselves: September
tenth-ah yes,-Perry's victoryr We're
gret theomission of some public expression,
however slight, of the feeling in sllhearts,
and yet there are potent causes for that
omission. We are so engrossed in
the battles and victories of the pres
ent that we lose our interest in those Of
another generation. Farragut eclipses
Perry, and, thinking of Fort Morgan, Lake
Erie seems less memorable. A nation
which is making history cannot spare time
to read dead histories. And yet it were
well sometimes to look back upon the
record of these old vietories-to catch the
spirit of the grand old hero of the 10th of
and be inspired by the words of
that other naval hero-words so needed,

COLORED CONGREGATIONAL CHRUOH.
Organization of Congregational
Church for the COIOred People of
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Rev. J. A.
ThOme, Rev. A. N. Richardson, Rev.
Samuel WOIeOtt, &c.


An interesting service was held in the
First Congregational Church on Saturday
evening last-the organization of the first
colored Congregational Church west of
New England. The new church, though
at present without regular pastor, consists
of some twenty members, part of them be
ing from churches of other denominations
here, and a portion of them from the
South, which was appropriately called
in the sermon the House of Bondage"
A plain but impressive discourse was
preached by Rev. Mr.. Thome, from the
words in Eph., 5, 32. The subject was the
mystical union of Christ to the church.
He explained at length its. meaning, illus
trating by the marriage erelation. It's not to
be rejected because a mystery. The most
important relations in life are such. Mar
riage, home, nature and God, the bible, our
own souls. were deep mysteries.
The speaker illustrated the existence and
life of the church by various examples,
and, in answer to the question; "What is
to be learned by this Union of Christ and
the Church 20 drew number of interest
ing and valuable deductions. We regret
that our space will not permit full report
of this most instructive sermon. 1t con
cluded with few earnest words of counsel
and encouragement to the founders of the
new church.
The Rev. Mr.. Richardson then stated that
the council, convened for the purpose,
had declared themselves satisfied with the
examination of the colored brethren
Their names were then read and, after
taking their places, in the front pews OF
the church, they gave their assent to the
articles of covenant and the cor nfession of
Faith of the Congregational Church, and
were then declared Church of Christ
The Address to the People was then made,
by gentleman whose name our reporter
| did not learn.
The Rev. Mr.. Wolcott then made a few
remarks, in which he expressed the desire
of his heart for their prosperity, and that
the most perfect kindIiness of feeling would
always exist between this new church and
those from whom o portion of it came. No
one in the First Congregational Church had
suggested the new organization-it was
their own workout he welcomed them
warmly as brethren in Christ.
The occasion of which the above is a ne
cessarily brief and imperfect report is one
of no common interest aud significance
This new Churchis the first Congregational
Church established by colored people out
of New England, although Methodist and
Baptist Churches exclusively for people of
color are commonly

Others, to Speak.

The grand National Mass Convention of
the UniOn-lOving people of the Union, to
be held in Buffalo day after tomorrow, on
Wednesday, September 14th, has already
been widely heralded in our columns. 1t
is to be perhaps the grandest and most i'm

are being made to ensure its entire and
triumphant success. Such men as Secre-
tary Seward, the gallant Andrew G. Cur

own stalwart and faithful standard bearer,
John Brough, will be present to speak
words of cheer and encouragement to the
assembled freemen. And the sovereign
People viii be present. The Union loving
masses of the States of New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania viii rally by thousands and
tons of thousands to this glorious gather
ing.
Our energetic Union County Committee
have resolved that Cleveland shall be re-
presented in this grand mass
Convention. A special train has
been chartered, which will leave
this city at six Wednesday morning,
reaching Buffalo at one in the afternoon
in full time to join in and enjoy the exer-
cises of the day. Now, let the Unionists
of Cleveland turn out in their full strength
Let US go down to Buffalo in such numbers
and with such enthusiasm as to show the
