THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 30th.
LOR PRESIDENT,
¥OR VICE PRESIDENT. . .
ANDREW JOHNSON.
eS
Tne CuatsTiAN Commission —A meet
~ jng of the Christian Commission was held
‘day evening. We arp sorry to say that but.
ys number. of our citizens assembled to
_ hear the claims of this commission, which
pas done-somuch-forour-soldiers both on,
the field and in the camp, presented. Dr.
Patterson, of Chicago, the agent of the commission for the Pacific Cuast, presented in
an eloquent and forcible manner the great
work that has been.done in the army by the
delegates of the commission, During the
year 1863, $916,837, was expended for the
benefit of the soldiers bythe commission,
aad out of overy dollar subscribed, the
soldiers got 95 cents, During the month of
May, in the East $400,000 was subscribed.
The idea that the Christian Commission is
_ designed for the distribution of tracts, testa.
mente, and Hymn books alone, seetis to pre .
vail to dome extent among the poople of
this State. Such an impression is without
the slightest foundation in fact. The great
object of the organization is to supply every
want of the soldier, in the comp and in the
“field. “To carry comfort to the hero, burniug
with fever upon the field. The delegates of
the commission go out upon the field, ameng
Wie wounded aud dying, amid the shower of
~ shot dnd shell if need be, and they are save
~ jog thotsands of poor fellows who, were it
not for their care would never leave the apot .
whore they fall.
The delegates of the organization have
every facility of transportation free from
the gevernment and the various railroad
oumpanics. Inthe atmy they have the use
of tho Military Telegraph at all times, Gen.
~ Grant has the tent of the Commission near
hisheadquarters, and by an order from bim
the delegates are ‘allowed to pass to all parts
~—---qvithinthe lines without—hiadranve--or~imo~
~ Jeatation.”” They receive stores, ete,, from the
Commissary Depattment, as the officers of
the army do. The Quartermasters Department, says the order of Grant, will, upon
epplication, furnish such delegates and
their stores; free transportation upon all
government steamers and military railroads
to and from such points within their military
division aa therr duty may tequite them te
visit. They have a-bhearty endorsement
~ from the Administration, and the officers of
the army and navy. On the field of Gettysburg, there were 400 delegates of this commission at work,and it is estimated tha’
more than $80,000 worth of nourishmen®
" and atimulants were distributed among the
soldiers.
The work upon the field ie desciibed as
followa by the agent of the commission :
‘We go not merely to look atthe ficld.—
Let me show you the starting scene when
our delegates start out upon their work.
When the newa came that something terrible
was going on down at Antietam, we knew
not what, at Philadelphia, word was sent to
@ few of us who were down on the roll, as
“minute men,” men ready to goat a minute's
warning, that we were wanted to go that
night. We met in a room ready togo. Our
equipments were there waiting for'us. We
thered from them some idea of practical
~ werk in the field, of the sorrowful mission
“that was befure us.” Here on the floor Jay a
great-huudle of blankets. Ewch delegate
must take-one of them—he is supposed to
~ endure bardabip asa good soldier. There is
a pile of tin pailéhe mnust take one of these,
as he will have to carry water from the near
est epring; and there 1a-a pile of tin cups, he
must bear the cooling drink to~ the thirsting
lipe, and he cannot do without this. And
there, too, isa pile of haversacks. ~Kach
delegate takes one of these. He will need
it himee!f;he must have something by him
to sustain hie own life, but he will need it
more especially to carry some soft, tresh
bread to those poor fellows who vhave had
only “bard-tack,” and whv, through wounds,
sickness, and infirmity; are unable longer to
-eat it. Hoe witffitd many on the extremity
of the field who bave been neglected tor days,
and possibly for s whole week; and when he
comes to such be must have food with him,
he‘cavnot stop and rua back to get it—it
‘must be on hand When the extremity ree
quires it. There also we find a pile ot little
bullseye lanterns. Each delegate is to take
oug of these, Why arethese wanted? Ah,
he begins to have an idea of the work befure
him. He is to be out on the field at night.
There are not avenues lighted up A gaa to
. direct him tn hie solitary work. His work
ie to be inthe woods or in the wilderness
which the havoc of war has made desolate.
He must bave a light that he tmay not stumble
over the dead uf the wounded ; be must look

This equipped he starts out. At the time
to which I refer, six or eight of us started at
midnight from Philadelphia for the battle
field of Antietam. Reaching the Monucaey
river, we found the bridge destroyed, and we
had to land our goodson the banks and cross
ef confusion. Soon we. reached Frederick
and saw long trains of wounded ‘who
had come down from South Mountain and the
battle field of Antietam. ‘ Here began a work

men to bring in boards end cover the tops
‘of the pews all around; and if boards cannot
be had, you tear out the pews, and bring in

patients. Then come down the long train of
ambulances. You go to the brave fellows in
them, you bear them out, you, bear them
gently, for t are great; sufferers with
terrible wounds, you lay them on the floor,
up and down, in great rows, leaving space
between them only enough to go in acd out
amoung thew, and there you minister to them
in this the time of their need. ‘:
Aa appeal in behalf of this Commission in
now being made te the people wf this State.
Wherevevr the agents have been, citizens
have responded nobly. In San Francisco, at
a single meeting $10,000 was raised, and all
other places have shown equal liberality.—
The mission of this organization ie one cal‘éulated “to open the hearts and the pockets of
loyal men, and when its objects are fully understood in this State we have no doubt that
the people will contribute freely.To ConTractors —We are requested
to State that the time for receiving contracts
