~ 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 4 a , * . themrover the best way we could, in a babel . which 1 have hot time tu describe, C stack, for building the side-walks has been extend: .

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 were turned intw hospitals. You call for 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 the atraw or hay taken from the nearest —are ready to receive the 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 ed tothe 7th day of July. 1 must-be in accordance with the advertisement for bids.
