Parson Brownlow Still for the. Union—
His Indictment and Approaching Im
prisonment—lTe makes his Farewell Ad-
Brownlow’s (Knoxville) Whig of Saturday. Oc
tober 26, hag been received, in Cincinnati. It was
the last number of that paper to be issued, the
editor having been indicted by. the Grand Jury,
and his imprisonment determined on. The follow
ing is his farewell address:
This issue of the Whig must necessarily be the
last lor some time to come—l am unable to say how
long. The authorities have deter
mined upon my arrest, and I am to bo indicted be
fore the Grand Jury of the Confederate Court,
which commenced its session in Nashville, on Mon
day last. I would have awaited the indictment
and arrest, before announcing the remarkable event
to the world, hut. as I only publish ft weekly pa
per, my hunied removal to Nashville would de
prive me of the privilege of saying to my sub
scribers what is alike due to myself and them. I
have the fact of my indictment and consequent ar
rest.having been agreedupon,for this week; from
distinguished citizens, legislators, and lawyers »t
-Nashville, of both parties. ‘Gentlemen of high po
sitions, .and members of the Secession party, say ‘
that the indictment will be made because of ‘- some
treasonable articles in late numbers ol the Whig."
J have reproduced those two “treasonable arti
cles” on the first page of this issue, that the un
biassed people of the country may ‘read, mark, r
learn, and inwardly digest” the 'treason. They re
late to the culpable remisshess of those, Knoxville
leaders in failing to voiunteerin the cause of tho
Confederacy.
According to the usages of the court, aa hereto
forc established, I presume I could go free, by
taking the oath thCas-a-uhoritTCc are
to other Union man, but my settled purpose U net
to do any such thing. I can doubtless be allowed
my personal liberty, by entering into bonds to keep
the peace, and to demean myself toward the lead
ers of Secession in Knoxville, who have been seek
ing to have me assassinated all summer and fall, as
they desire me to do, for thi? is really the import
of tho thing, and one of the leading objects sought
to be attained. Although I could give a bond for
my good behavior, for one hundred thousand dol
lars, signed by fifty as good men as the county af
fords, I shall obstinately refuse to do even that;
nod if such a bond be drawn up and signed by
others, I will render It null and void by refusing
to sign it. In default of both, I expect to go to
jail, and I am ready to start upon one moment’s
warning. Not only so, but there lam prepared to
lie, in solilary confinement, or die from old age.
Stimulated, by a consciousness of innocent upright
boss, X will submit to imprisonment for life, or di©
at the end of a rope, before I will make any humi
liating concession to any power on earth 1
I have committed no offence—l have not shoul
dered arms against the (Rmfedcrate Government,
or the State, or encouraged others to do so—l have
discouraged rebellion, publicly and privately—l
have not assumed a hostile attitude toward tho ci
vil or military authorities of this new Government.
But I have committed grave, and I really fear un
pardonable offences. I have refused to make war
upon the Government of the United States; I have
refused to publish to the world false and exagge
rated accounts of the several engagements had
between the contending armies; I have refused to
write out and publish false versions of tho origin of
this war, and of the breaking up of tho best Go
vernment the world ever knew; and all this I will
conlinuc to do, if it cost mo my life. Nay, when I
agree to do such things, may a righteous God
palsy my right,arm, and may the earth open and
close in upon me forever.
The real object of my arrest, and contemplated
imprisonment, is to dry up. break clown, Silence,
and destroy the last and only Union paper left in
the eleven seceded States, and thereby to keep
from the people of East Tennessee the facts which
are daily transpiring in the country. After the
Hon. Jeff Davis had stated in Richmond, in a con
versation relative to my paper, that ho would not
live in a Government that did not tolerate freedom
of the press; after the judges, attorneys, jurors, and
all others filling positions of honor and trust under
the “permanent Constitution,’’ which guaranties
freedom of the press; and after the entire press of
the South had come down in their thunder tones
upon the Federal Government for suppressing the
Louisville Courier, and the New York Day Book,
and other Secession journals, I did expect the ut
most liberty to he allowed to one small sheet, whose
errors could be combatted by the entire Southern
press! It is not enough that my paper has been
denied a circulation through the ordinary channels
of conveyance in the country, but it must be dis
continued altogether, or its editor must write and
select only such articles as meet tho approval of a
pack of scoundrels in Knoxville, when their supe
riors in all the qualities that adorn human nature
are in the penitentiary of our State ! And this is
the boasted liberty of the press in the Southern
Confederacy!
I shall in no degree feel humbled by being cast
into prison, whenever It Is the will and pleasure of
this august Government to put mo there ; but, on
the contrary , I shall feel proud of my confinement.
I shall go to jail, as John Rodgers went to thestake—
for my jmiueijiles. I shall go, because I have failed
to recognise the hand of God in the work of break
ing up the Amorican Government, and the inaugu
ration of tho most wicked, cruel, unnatural, and
uncalled-for war, ever recorded in history. I go,
because I have refused to laud to tho skies the acts
of tyranny, usurpation, and oppression, inflicted
upon the people of East Tennessee, because of their
devotion to the Constitution and laws of the Go
vernment, handed down to them by their fathers,
and the liberties secured to them by a war ef seven
long years of gloom, poverty, and trial! I repeat,
I am proud of my position, and of my principles,
and shall leave them to my children as a legacy,
far more valuable than a princely fortune, had I
the latter to bestow !
With me life lias lest some of its energy; having
passed six annual posts on the western slope of half
a century, something of the fire of youth is ex
hausted ; but I stand forth with tho eloquence and
energy of right to sustain and stimulate me in the
maintenance of my principles. I am encouraged
to firmness when I lookback to the fate of Him
11 Whose pbwif WiiS righteousness,” while tho in
furiated mob cried out, “ Crucify him! crucify
him!”
I owe to my numerous list of subscribers the
filling out of the respective terms for which they
have made advance payments, and, if circumstances
ever place it in iny power to discharge these obliga
tions, I will do it most certainly. Rut, if lam de-.
nied the liberty of doing so, they must regard their
small losses as so many contributions to the cause
in which I have fallen. I feel that' I can, with
confidence, rely upon the magnanimity and for
bearance of my patrons under th s state of things.
They will bear me witness that I have held out as
loDg as I am allowed to, and that I have yielded to
a military despotism that I could not avert the
horrors of or successfully oppose.
I will only say, in conclusion—for lam not al
lowed the privilege to write—that the people of
Ibis country have been unaccustomed to such
wrongs; they can yet scarcely realise them. They
are astounded for the time being with the quick
succession of outrages that havo come upon them,
and they stand horror-stricken, like men expecting
ruin and annihilation. I may not live to sec the
day. but thousands of iny readers will, when tho
people of this once prosperous country will see that
they are swelling by “ double nuiek time ” from
freedom to bondage. They will then look these
wanton outrages upon rij-ht and liberty full in the
fnee, and my prediction is that they will “ stir the
stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.” Wrongs less
wanton and outrageous precipitated the French
revolution. Citizens cast into dungeons without
charges of crime against them, and without the
formalities of a trial by jury; private property
confiscated at the beck of those in power; the press
bumbled, muzzled, aud suppressed, or prostituted
to Eerve the ends of tyranny! Tho crimes of
Louis XVI fell short of all this, and yet he lost his
head.! The people of this country, down-trodden
aud oppressed, still have the resolutions of their
illustrious forefathers, who asserted their rights At
Lexington and Buuker Hill !

From the Richmond Enquirer and Norfolk Day
EooA, of Monday* the 4th instant, wc muke up the
following interesting summary of Southern news :
Day o t Fasting.
The 16th of Novcmocr nas been designated by
the Hon. Jeff Davis as a day of fasting, humilia
tion and prayer in the Confederate States.
Frisoners of Wan
On Saturday last there were 1.711 prisoners of
war in Kichmond. In the last 16 days the prison
ers there had caton up $2,600 worth of beef. Since
tho war commenced 2,686 prisoners have been
brought to Richmond. The conduct of those taken
near Let&burg is well spoken of by the Enquirer.
On Monday last 200 prisoners were to leave Rich
mond for Columbia, S. C.
Fight near Savannah.
A despatch, dated Savannah,*Novembor 12. snys
there was a fight below that city, originating ill
conaequeace of the Federal? attempting to burn a
vessel aground on Warsaw beach. The attempt
failed, and the Federal frigate left.
The Storm,
A despatch from Charleston reports the late
Storm os exceedingly violent along tho whole South*
era coast.
From Arkansas.
This Sfeto is rapidly fdling the call for 5.000 vo

Defence of the Coast of Texas.
The Galveston Civilian says that Gen. Ilcbcrt

i ' The Grand Expedition.
i [From the lticlmiond Enquirer, Nov. 4.]
~ Our summary of new? from the North is of more
", interest to-day than usual. The sailing orders of
tho great naval expedition will attract espcciul at
tention, Speculation will now soon be at an end :
and perhaps before these lines shall be printed the
telegraph will tell us where the blow has fallen.
Aft,-r tending these orders, however, we cannot
join in .the opinion which to some extent prevails.
. that tho contemplated lunding is intended on nny
comparatively secluded and undefended spot. If
'tbiagiunt force is to take possession of some sand
bar- or marshy island, or sea-coast village, why
such strict injunction that the expedition should
sail in II body, and the soldiers land in such heavy
amy, ami with the admonition that their courage
Will probably bo tested ! If we judge these orders
by the culinary rules, and in connection wilh the
Now hern boasts that a terrible blow is to be struck,
and at our very vitals, we cunnot but conclude that
it is expected to debark cither in the vicinity of a
strong. Confederate nnny or of a large Confede
rate city. Applying ihese tests. Pinramjla and
Charleston, and Savannah and New Orleans arc
the points which present themselves to our mind.
There is something so absurd in the injunction to
keep the expedition close together, and to land in
a long lino of boats, and with elaborate prepara
tions, for the purpose of capturing Sand Point, or
Mosqnitp Bar, or Alligator Inlet, that it is difficult
to conceive that the Northern generals would thus
make themselves ridiculous.
If the expedition attempt to land at an import
ant point, we hope that our force would be suffi
cient for their repulse. If among the pines aud
swamps, they will have committed a great folly,
and injured themselves, not us. We are not, how
ever, Without other hopes. The winds harre been
howling, and. tbe clouds have been pouring out
their floods. We confess it—the blast of the storm
has. socmled in our ears like sweetest music. It
has' made us think of the Spanish armada, that
sailed hi great pomp, on grand design, but was dis
pergoi( by the winds and vanquished without meet
ing, aft enemy. Who knows but that stormy Hnt
teras was created for such a time as this? Who
can ted but that the roeks and sands of the Florida
coast shall prove the instruments of Providence to
punish the wickedness of man ? The grand fleet
sailed on Tuesday, the 29th. On Friday afternoon
the storm commenced. Three days had thus
elapsed. Where the fleet had got to —whether tho
storm there raged, and whether it claimed its prey
—We have yet to learn.
But whether by the winds of Heaven, or by the
blessing of Heaven on Southern valor, we trust
soon to bo nblc to announce that the Sect which
sailed from Hampton Bonds is a fleet that shall
never more return, unless, indeed, under another
flag.
Rumored Resignation of Beauregard.
The Norfolk -Day Hooi says that a' rumor ex
. istek in that city on Sunday that Gen. Beauregard
had resigned, but does not credit it. A despatch
from Richmond also says that a similar rumor ex
ists there, and for several days the question has
been .asked on the street, but the reporter is unable
to say whether there is any- truth in it or not. but
--givefi-H'ae a current rumor or t!,t u,,y j gentle
man was in Baltimore on Tuesday who sut et ] (h n (
be saw Gen. Beauregard at Gorilonsville, Ya., on
Monday, en route for Charleston.]
Passports.
The Richmond Enquirer announces that it is ex
tremely difficult to obtain a passport to leave the
&wti*eru Coiifcdvracy. gr to pass through the lines
on any pretense whatever. In some eases the pri
vilege has.been denied British subjects, and tlieir
only alternative was to declare themselves “alien
enemies/ 5 iu order to effect their purpose, and not
in every instance was a passport then grunted* the
authorities being more gnarled than. heretofore
about granting passports to persons who may desire
to leave the State.
The War in Arizona,
The Mesilla Tunes, of the I2th ult., says an ex
tensive campaign is to be made against the Indiana
as soon as it is known what the movements of the
Federal troops are to bo. The Times says several
companies will be kept in the field, and the war
must be one of extermination.
The Times gives the details of the mnrdcr of the
six men near Pino Alto, Arizona, by the Apaches.
They had gone from the Haubover mines in search
of stock. Eleven other men had been sent out iu
search of tho six missing persons, and it is feared
they too have been murdered.
The Times announces that the Federal troops
had abandoned Fort Craig.
Flag of Truce.
On the Ist inst., Mrs. L. Hutchinson, of Norfolk,
Mrs. Magranr, of New Orleans, and several Con
federates taken prisoners at Hatterns, but subse
quently released on taking the oath not to boar arms
against tho Federal Government, arrived at Nor
folk from Fortress Monroe, under a flag of truce.
Breckinridge to go into the Rebel Cabinet.
The Nashville Vition and American of October
17 says:
Wo hear, from general report in this eity, that It
has been determined by President Davis to invito
Mr. Rreckinridge to a seat in his Cabinet, and that
it is generally understood that he will be placed in
the Cabinet as Secretary of War—Mr. Benjamin,
the acting Secretary at present, retiring to take
control of the Department of Justice.
The Confederate Forces.
Judge Ochiltree) of Texas, in an address at Jef
ferson, Gass county, recently stated that there were
now in the field in active service, armed and equip
ped, 245,000 Southern troops, and that there were
54.000 -more in camps of instruction in the eleven
goceded States, ready for notion- This completes
an army of 299,000.
Confederate “Free Trade.”
One of the standing grounds of complaint at the
South against the National Government has been
the want of a free-trade policy, such as South Caro
lina has vainly commended to the adoption of the
councry. How the cause of “free trade” now
thrives in Virginia, under the auspices of a South
ern Confederacy, may be learned from the follow
ing statements:
A Sorresp&Bdent Of ths Leesburg (Va.) Wa.y/tutg
toniun < who signs his articles “ A Farmer,” com
plains bitterly that the Confederate authorities
have assumed to regulate the price of corn and
wheat. The some proceeding has been made the
subject of complaint in the Richmond papers. It
appears that tho Confederate leaders propose to
purchase grain for the army, and to fix the price of
wheat at eighty cents per bushel, whtoh the far
mers say will sot pay for the price of cultivation.
The latter urge that while their products are thus
limited in price by an arbitrary standard they
have to pay exorbitantly for every article for
their own consumption, and that the mechanics
and merchants are being enriched at their ex
pense. They insist that there is no more reason
why their products should be limited any more
than boots, shoes, or clothing. The Confederate Go
vernment, they say, will have to look almost exclu
sively to Virginia for grain, now that Kentucky
has taken the other track ; but Virginia farmers
will only raise enough for their own use unless they
are dealt with more liberally. Accordingly tho Lees
burg Farmer exhorts his neighbors to hold a meet
ing and concert measures for the protection of their
own rights. “ While tho farmers of Virginia are
contending for their rights against enemies abroad, : ’
he exclaims, “ let them see that their rights are not
trampled upon at home, and let them Over recollect,
whether in peace or war, that eternal vigilance ie
tho price of liberty.”
It probably gives a keener edge to the grief of the
Virginia fanners that not only arc their prices re
duced, but that payment is made to them in Con
federate bonds. The proceeding, however, of which
they complain is one which indicates a very low
ebb in the affairs of the Confederacy. An arbitrary
regulation of the prices of grain is a measure which
is universally regarded as tho last resort of a des
potic Power.
Surprise near Eddyville.
The Louisville Courier, at tho 28th ult., a Se
cession journal, published in tho rebel camp, at
Bowling Green, says:
On Saturday morning last, a Lincoln gunboat
from the Ohio, supposed to be the Conestoga, with
900 Abolition troops, came up the Cumberland, aud
landed afWest Eddyville, Tho troops wore dis
embarked and proceeded to Saratoga, a few miles
from Eddyville, where a fine cavalry company of
Kentuckians, just formed by Capt. Wilcox, were
encamped, completely surprising and putting them
to rout, and killing and wounding, it is supposed,
some twenty-live or thirty of their number, The
others fled, and several of them had arrived at
Hopkinsville, where our informant saw them.
Some of them had their clothes actually riddled
with balls, while their persons miraculously es
caped injury. The pursuit was continued by the
Yankees about two miles.
Captain Wilcox was hit with a bail on the. fore
bead, and although believed to be seriously if not
mortally wounded, managed to ride two miles on
hisborse, and it is thought escaped the enemy.
There were only about seventy-five of Captain
Wilcox’s men in camp. They were surprised while
the pickets had come in for breakfast, and before
others bad gone out to take their places.
FREMONT’S EXPENDITURES.
The Congressional Investigating Commit
tee-Alleged Abstract ol the Report.
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer publishes tho following.
Which, it says, is an abstract of the evidence ob
tained by tbe Congressional Investigating Commit
tee, which closed ils labors in St. Louis last week:
The first act of fraud was the presentation to Mrs.
Brigadier General McKinstry, on the 20fhofSop
df a complete act of silver service of tho
Jenny Lind pattern, which service cost 53,000 and
upward, and being the finest ever made in tho
West, took the premium at the State Agricultural
Fair held in St Louis. This service was presented
by parties e t \Q]«?iv?ly interested iu Government
contracts, among whom were M*jor Selover, Leoni
das Haskell. John M. Crum, E. L. Beard, of Cali
fornia, and others. General McKinstry was quar
termaster general of the Western Deportment by
appointment of Major General J. C Fremont, and
as suoh quartermaster general, eon trailed the h f>tsb
and inufe contracts* building of barracks, and all
supplies and purchases appertaining to that de
partment. The committee in their report say,
the frauds in contracts in the quartermaster’s de
partment are numerous, and nave been clearly
proven, and extend through all branches of Jjfs
control and supervision.
In relation to the purchase of horses—the second
act of fraud—the testimony is extensive as to the
various species of imposition practised, the “ old
English jockey tricks, 7 ’ as they are called, being in
this case of the lesser magnitude. A party con
tracts to furnish 1,000 head of horses, at sllo.oo
per head, to the Government, through the quarter
master. The contractor's agent, who is approved
by the quartermaster, has charge of the field where
the contractor’s horses are to be passed upon. A
countryman, having horses to sell to tho Govern
ment, pays $lO entrance fee to the field, where his
horses are examined, and upon the payment of ano
ther fee of $lO. they arc recommended to the con
tractor, who purchases the same at the very lowest
figure, which, throughout the entire evidence, ne
ver exceeded and s(>o per head. The contractor
tabes his purchases to tho inspector, who is also
reimbursed by a fee, which amount is compu
ted according to the quality of the animal. The
contractor, on obtaining a certificate from the in
spector, demands the money of the quartermaster,
who pays the same when the bonus lor said pay
ment is guaranteed. The evidence discloses seve
ral such schemes, and many other ways in which
horses and mules are obtained. The testimony also
shows that the horses, in a majority of instances, are
of the most, inferior kind, and* have broken down or
fell dead on the road. Around the depots where
horses were kept, thus purchased, numerous dead
Cftrc«»w have been found. Ommbu* and stage
horses havo been trotted out. “full of bruu and
peppered. 5 ’ by contractors, who received $115a130
ior ouch horse they furnished. One of the recent re
ports of Boards of Survey will suffice in giving the
character of horses Government furnished to regi
ments upon the requisition of their commanding
officav. Other similar reports tk& commUlco Uuyo
on file;
Camp Sullivan, Warsaw,
October 21, lfcGl.
To Colonel William Ihshnp;
The undersigned having been summoned, as a
board of survey, to examine and inspect the coudi
tlob of the horses forwarded to this regiment from
St. Louis and report the result to your headquar
ters, would respectfully report that we have ex
amined said horses, and find seventy-six (76) fit for
service, five (5) dead, and three hundred and thirty
(830) undersized* under and over aged, slifled, ring
toned, blind, spuvined, and incurably unfit for
any puhli.- .service, said hvrsco being a part of the
Missouri contract.
Very respectfully,
David MclCek, Major,
Gkorge Rockwell, Captain,
John Sciikk, Lieutenant.
The committee also have in evidence that United
States District Attorney Jones was A&ocifltcri with
Messrs. Thompson and Bowen in the purchase of
horses and juulcs. their contract being at sll9.i>o
each horse. Bowen sold out to Thompson and
Jones for $5,000, payable in bankable funds.
Thompson went to McKinstry for payments on
horses Messrs. Thompson and Jones had furnished,
and was told that “ another party was interested in
this-'horse business, and unless the $5,000 in gold
was deducted by Messrs. Thompson and Jones,
none of the money could be paid.” The $5,000
was kept by McKinstry. and the remainder paid
over to Thompson and Jones
Inder this head of fraud, the committee hare
tcftiniODy of over half a million of dollars sunk in
pay contracts. The quartermaster paid $17.50 per
ton for hay in bales, which on examination is found
to be prairie grass, and hay of a very poor quality.
The cost of transportation between St. Louis and
Scdalia is about per ton, w $25 per ton deliver
ed at Sedalia. The committee have accumulative
evidence that fresh hay from the stocks, and in
abundance along the entire route to Warsaw, can
be obtained at $6aS per ton.
In Government wagons the evidence shows that
large numbers are here without any owners, until
litter they have been pressed into the service, and
then the builders present their claims. A majority
of these wagons are unfit for service. The axles,
reach, bolsters, spokes.hubs, tire., are found to have
been cracked* and the cracks filled with leather
and putty, and painted over where the fraud was
patent. Several of the wagons were condemned.
The committee will report that a numher of the
wagons thus received by the quartermaster and
his agent have broken down before the army had
proceeded far. and that all the wagons will be use
less after a few weeks' service.
The third net of fraud is in building of fortifica
tions at St. Louis. On the 15th of August, Colonel
Hassondcuhel, by order of General Fremont, engi
neered and surveyed the points within the limits of
St. Louis for the erection of eleven (11) forts. Un
der Major H.’ssuperintendenee five (5) were built
directly for the Government, without any interve-
Jiing contractor. The wages of the laborers were
60 Gouts each por day, and the oost 6f each fortifica
tion not to exceed $ 10.000. On the 25th of Septem
ber when General Fremont knew that the forts,
completed, cost §lO,OOO each, Quartermaster Mc-
Kinstry, per order of General Fremont, mode a
contract with E. L. Beard, of California, to build
Six additional forts for the Government, similar,
in all respected to the five constructed by Colonel
Hnssendeubel; agreeing to pay 45 cents per cubic
yard for all excavations, 55 cents per cubic yard
for the same dirt excavated upon the bank of the
fort and forming the embankment; for all puddled
earth 90 cents per cubic yard ; paving walks with
brick or stone, floors or block-houses, &c., St per
squnre yard for cisterns, 25 cents per cubic gal
lon of 231 inches, arched •with brick, crown and
cement; lumber for magazines, block-houses and
quarters for officers and troops, sewers, &e.,the
lumber and timber to be measured in the building,
£lOO per 1,000 feet; for factncs and breastworks
required on the work, $1 per cubic foot, and for
roofing all tbc buildings with three-ply roofs S4.GO
per square of 100 superficial feet. Tho total cost
of the six fortifications figures upward of $300,000,
upon which Mr. Beard has received £170,000. An
additional payment of an order for £60,000
from General Fremont was stopped by the
Secretary of "War when in St. Louis. The
evidence sets forth, that notwithstanding Beard has
received already three times tho original cost of tho
works, the laborers are clamorous at the Govern
ment offices for their pay. The items of the cost of
forts, as proven by other forts built, and the evi
dence of master mechanics, put tho figures, viz:
10c per cubic yard for excavations and embank
ments ; puddled earth 30c; paving, &c., 40c; cis
terns. Ac., 3c; lumber and timber, $40a50 per
1.000 foot; facicos and breastworks $35*40 j roof
ing $2a2.50, and total cost of six fortifications not
over $60,000. The contract for fortifications was
drawn up per order of General Fremont The
contruct is regarded by the committee as irregular
and informal, except that it provides that tl no
member of Congress shall be interested in the said
contract. 7 ’ Tbc contract id in part irregular*for
tho reason that according to the regulations of the
department, the quartermaster only can make con
tracts.
-The fourth act of fraud is the house rent, first in
the palatial mansion of Mrs. Colonel Brant, cousin
of Mrs. Jesse Fremont, rented to General Fremont
for headquarters of major general, his privato
secretory, and chief of tho staff, at the rate of
$6,000 per annum. Other palatial mansions in tho
neighborhood are rented at similar rates, and occu
pied for offices of members of the staff.
Large and expensive barracks have been built in
the immediate vicinity, ns quarters for the Fre
mont body guard, numbering 000 men. The bar
racks will uccoimnodate 2,600 men. The cost of
these barracks and Benton barracks, capacious
enough to accommodate 40,000 men, will be about
$150,000, double the amount necessary to erect
precisely similar buildings. In the roofing of
these buildings, which is upward of 5,00 ft squares
of 100 superficial feet, the committee have dis
covered much fraud. The contract provides that the
roof shall be three-ply, and put on with felt and soak
ed in hot tar, and in a substantial and durable man
ner. The committee have evidence that the super
intendent and architect, A. B. Ogd en, received a draft
of $7OO on General MclCinstry from Clapp & Co.,
provided he (Ogden) would obtain tho contract for
them at their hid, which was $3.50 per square of
100 superficial feet. A Mr. King, under oath, testi
fies that he gave Ogden a draft on McKinstry for
$1,500 for his services in getting him the contract
for $3.25 per square. To each of these Ogden pro
mised the contract. The work was awarded to
Almen Thompson at $2.50, but whether any bouua
was given does not appear. The committee find
that Thompson sold the contract for an advance of
§3,000, and that the party doing the work only put
on onc-ply roof, and that with felt dipped in cold
tnr. In n few places there were only two plys.
The facts‘were obtained by cutting into the roof at
various points. It is also in testimony that thcro
were responsible bids at $2 for this same work.
Another fraud was in the contracting with E. W.
Fox for the manufacture of picket pins, at 45 cents
each, when Thomas Hood, a blacksmith, with good
security, bid for the some at 25 cents per pin—the
number to be made, 50,00 ft pins. Also to Fox and
others, camp kettles, at 35 cents, when there were
bids at 20 cents mails, axes, spikes, Ac., at similar
rates. Saddles, that were rejected by the Quarter
master, were purchased by Fox at low figures, and
sold to McKinstry at increased rates.
The building of sundry tug-boats, and chartering
of several steamers, at double their cost and value,
particularly tho chartering of sundry boats belong
ing to the Keokuk Packet Company, havo boon
gone into at length, and much imposition found to
exist. The tug-boats are being built at a cost of
$8,500, when they ought to bo built at $4,500 each.
Other frauds in tho purchase of oats, clothing,
blankets, tents, Ac.; the issuing of transportation
tickets, nnd paying of employees in uneurrent funds,
such ns the Union Batik and Bank of St. Louis, 55
cents discount, instead of Government funds, Ac.,
Ac., are fully in evidence before the committee,
but all are on a par with those given above. No
frauds were found in the Commissary Department,
but tho report of tho committoo will exhibit the
transactions of tho other department* in an exceed
ingly unfavorable light. As the California con
tractors arc alleged by the committee with being
largely interested in many of those contracts, we
give their names: Joseph Palmer, of the firm of
Palmer. Cook, & Co. ; Leonidas Haskell, E, If
Beard, Major Selover. of tho firtn of Selovor
Sintern, real estate auctioneers.; and I. C. Woods,
manager of Adams' Express Company.
Three of these gentlemen are living in St. Louis
in fine style, and two are on Gen. Fremont’s staff.
The committee could have continued their in
vestigations further, but thoy believe they have
6undent evWme, iuu| few ga«S W QaiW to QV
TWO CENTS.
amine a few vitnouei there. They will then visit
Louisville and Cincinilti, and take evidence of nny
frauds existing in the Apartments of those cities*.
THE NAVAL EXPEDITION.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Timet says, under date of November J> v
Advices have been received at' the War Depart
ment, by way of Fort Monroe, (fiat ijn Ugtiirdnv
evening the vessels comprising tbciinval expedition
passed Bull's Bay. and would, within twenty-four
hours, reach their destination. Tbr.- rnujtirtr with
oilier reports said to have readied the Cupital, that
a portion of thr troops had hr.rn. softly- landed at
Hull's Hap. lam inclined to think that the re
port fiat mentioned is correct, as I know it
reached (he War Department, and may be deemed
official. I understand that Bull's Bay was one of
tiie points originally fixed for the landing- of the
troops, but thnt afterwards the order to land there
was withdraws, and it was left to tho discretion of
the commander of the expedition to land there or
not. as .be might deem expedient. The report that
a landing had been made there comes, I nm in
formed. from a member of (Sen. Wool's staff.
The Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore
Sun gays:
The Navy Department has intelligence that the
fleet was on Saturday evening off Point ltomaine.
near Charleston harbor. As no mention was mmio
of ihc gale, it was inferred that the fleet was not
exposed to it.
Nothing Is to bo infowotl frdm this Intelligence
as to the destination tf the fleet. It may he that it
is to be divided into squadrons after reaching its
place of rendezvous, and proceed to take possession
of several cotton ports; or it may, assisted by por
tions of the blockading squadron, make a formida
ble attack upon some important point, like Fort
Macon, ft is not believed that it is to proceed, at
present, to the mouth of the Mississippi, -though
that position is to be ultimately taken by a power
ful naval and military force.
An intimation was made to-day in a high quar
ter, which would lead to tho supposition thnt Beau
fort, C., is the destination of the naval expedi
tion, hut as that point is reached by railroad from
both Charleston and Savnnnah, a large Confederate
force could be easily concentrated there. The same
cannot be said of Brunswick or Fernandinn. The
possession of those places, with a chain of posts
across the neck of Florida, would be of great mili
tary advantage.
Bull’s Bay and Beaufort Harbor.
The country about Bull's Bay, however, is hut
spar.-eiy seltlcd. At some distance from the coast
it is traversed by tho common road froni CflftflCS
ti>u to Georgetown—there is no railroad communi
cation to Charleston—which crosses the Santee
river about ten miles from the const. The nearest
town or village is Mount Pleasant. Tho thirty
miles of coast from Bull's Bay south to Charleston
harbor bears the peculiar character of the whole
Southern shore line, being a scried of islands, and
inlets to creeks running between the islands and
the main land. These creeks communicate with
Charleston harbor between Sullivan’s Island and
the main land, hut are suitable for navigation only
by light-draught vessels.
If, however, the expedition proceeded to
P*rt Royal Entrance!
Our fleet finds itself in the finest harbor of South
Carolina, and one of the noblest inland waters of
tbe whole South. The harbor of Port Koyal or
Beaufort is about seventy-five miles southwest of
Charleston, and is about equi-distant between that
city and Savannah. The entrance from the Atlantic,
between Hilton Head Island and St. Helena Island,
is about three miles wide, and has, even over the
bar, three and a half fathoms, or twenty-one feet,
and probably twenty-seven feet at high tide I
Within the navies of tho world might float. Six
teen miles from the sea is the town of Beaufort, the
water approach of which does not admit vessels
oyer eleven feet draught. A few miles back of
Beaufort is the railroad connecting Charleston and
Savannah, itself approachable by Port Royal Inlet
and St. Helena Sound. The whole of this region
should be studied on the map, as it has quite an
amphibious character. The mouths of the rivers,
and the inlets of the OCCau enclose a number af
islands of considerable size, among which maybe
mentioned Hilton Head, St. Helena, and Port
Royal.
The possession of the fine harbor of Beaufort or
Port Royal thus gives command of one of the most
important ami, for the designs the army of the
Union has in view in making a lodgement on the
Southern coast, most advantageous bases of opera
tion in entire rebetdom. Beaufort district has an
area of 1.540 square miles. The surface is low and
level, and the soil sandy and alluvial, producing
cotton, rice, etc ,in great abundance. Our troops
Will IIIUS find themselves lodged in the richest dis
trict (South Carolina term for oounly) in the State—
yielding some fifty million pounds of rice annually,
and thirteen thousand bales of the finest quality
of cotton, the famous long-staple sea-island,
the very kind Europe most wants. Here are
over six millions of dollars’ worth of erops,
subject at once to confiscation, if their pro
prietors persist in their disloyalty. It is also one
of the most thickly settled districts of the State,
the population in ISSO being .18,605. Of these no
less than 21,279 are negro slaves—a property* re
presenting twenty millions of dollars i It is on
this spot that the Shaded maps of negro distribution
show the nightliest shade. Tie sJTa/l thus titerai

mirably suited for a vast camp of instruction, and
with proper defences it will not be found difficult
to hold this whole district against any force the re
bels can bring against us. What a splendid nucleus

Tbe Effect of the Expedition.
The Herald says
No matter what may be the design of the mili
tary and naval commanders who are in charge of
the expedition, the occupation can
not fait to produce intense alarm at Charleston and
along the whole Southern coast, ami cause an im
mense drain upon the rebel army in Virginia for
the purpose of defending the sea coa9t. They will
see. in this movement, the first step towards an at
tack upon Charleston, and we may. therefore, ex
pect a hurried march southward of at least fifty
thousand men to guard that city. When similar
demonstrations are made at Port Royal, Beaufort,
Brunswick, Mobile, and New Orleans, tho rebel
army of the Potomac must soon be disorganized.
Whether that be so or not, footholds for the na
tional forces will be obtained all along the Southern
const, and probably a cotton port or two may be
thrown open to commerce, and, from those points,
the influence, power, and authority of the Repub
lic will gradually be extended over the whole re
gion now cursed, impoverished, and devastated by
this unnatural rebellion.
THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Three Engagements in one Day—Entire
Rebel Camp Routed—Camp Equipage
Destroyed.
The Louisville Democrat of the 3d inst. says :
On Sunday lass, Colonel Burbridge, who is in com
mand at Owensboro, received n call from Colonel
McHenry, at or near Morgantown, for help, as he
anticipated an attack by a heavy force of the
enemy. That same evening Colonel Burbridge left
Owensboro with two hundred and fifty or three
hundred men. ami two cannon—about one hundred
of his men being cavalry from Colonel Jackson’s
regiment; tho rest was infantry, with their sup
plies in their knapsack s. This little band made a
forced march to the bank of the river opposite
Woodbury, which they reached Tuesday afternoon.
The ferry boat was oh the Woodbury side, in
charge of two robol gentries and a black man. The
sentries were picked off by rifle shots across the
river, a distance of nearly three hundred yards,
and Colonel Burbridge then ordered the negro to
take the boat across Into the boat he put one of
his cannon and a portion of his forces, while the
balance of his rifles and the second gunboat pro
tected his advance against the rebels, wbe hod
formed on the river bank. Making a landing with
his squad, he charged upon the enemy, driving
them back into the town. Meanwhile, the balance
of his forces were crossing as rapidly as possible.
They were all over before it became dusk, and they
made a charge through the town, drivingthe enefljy
before them. On the way through they were fired
upon with several shots from houses, whieh they
instantly riddled. Unfortunately, and to the regret
of all our men. a woman thrust her head out of one
of the windows, and, in the dusk of tho evening,
was not distinguished as a woman. She was shot in
the forehead and killed. The surgeon who attend
ed the expedition reported six pc spypn killed ill the
houses.
. The enemy retreated to his camp in the rear of
the town, which Col. Burbridge immediately at
tacked, utterly routing the entire force, some four
or five hundred in numberhe took possession of
the camp, with equipage for 50(1 men, nnd all their
camp utensils; but ns he hail np aetins Of transpor
tation, the entire camp was burned.
Two prisoners were taken, named Ives and Lewis,
aud brought to this city this morning—one of them
from Alabama, one fs»m Mississippi. One of them
is reported to be a captain, the other a private.
About the same time Col. McHenry, with some
2(H) men, made na attack on a camp of the enemy
at or near Morgantown, and took six prisoners;
how many wero killed and wounded we did not
learn. Colonel McHenry lost one man, but drove
the enemy off.
About tho 3amc time Captain Necrer, who is.
stationed with tv parly of twenty men at lino hew
ter, his men all armed with Colt 7 ** revolving rifles,
had a skirmish with a largely superior force of the
enemy in the vielnily of Rochester, but with what
result \vc have not yet learned.
Colonel Burbridge, ia hi* attack, had one Juan
wmimlcd,. but lost none. "We believe thes> par
ticulars to bo entirely reliable, and think that fur
ther reports will only eonlirm last Tuesday’s work
as a day of glorious achievements.
The marching, as Col. Burbridge did, with about
three hundred men from Owensboro to Woodbury,
a distance of sixty or seventy miles, in. two days—
attacking and utterly routing a force-af five hun
dred of the enemy within less than eighteen miles
of Buckner’s headquarters At BoWHng &reen, where
he is reported to havo a very heavy force, destroy
ing the entire eamp and camp equipage, driving
tho enemy off with a loss of fifty or sixty iu krilech
an unknown number in wounded* and recrossing
the liver in safety, with only one of his own wen
wounded, aud none killed; and doing all thUj too,,
with raw troops who bad never smelled poredei; be
fore, is 09c of tho most brilliant exploits ef tho civ
tire campaign.

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS;
Secretary Cameron at West Point.
General Cameron with a party of distinguished i
ladies and gentlemen paid a visit to the military
academy at West Point on Tuesday, lie delivered*
the following appropriate Speech to the emlets:
Yotue Gentlemen : I greet yen all most cor
dially. I greet y«H a» the future protectors of this
great country, i am rejoiced, indeed, to see you
here, and to be a witnesito the excelh-ntand hand
some manner in which you have performed your
duties. More than thirty year? ngo I was here for
the first and the Inst time. General Jackson them
sent me here on an inspection among the Beard of
Visitors,.- and since that time, notwithstanding all
the honors whieh my country has shown me, Ido
not cherish anything more than the trust which*
that great man confided in. me to inspect, the West
Point cadets- There have bwen-greut and' wonder
ful changes since that day*, There were no rail
roads then, and steam had noj asserted the mastery
and power which it has since attained. Tho subtle
agency of the silent but eloquent telegraph was not
yet developed by the wisdom of man. But, never
theless, we were progressing with tho most progres
sive hhllbbs of the earth. We were a working sad*
an acting people, enjoying the fruits Of peuoe. and
neither desiring nor looking for war. Every man’s
life was being passed in peace and. industry for his
own happiness and his country’s-prosperity. There
were no preparations of any kind for war except
such as were made in this little academy. We were
blessed then, jurt as we aro now, fay the most boun
tiful gifts of nature; and who can say that any
conn try was ever mere liberally gifted with nil
earth’s blessings than that in whieh it is our lot to
live '! The scene now presented to me here is- just
the same as it was thirty years ago. The number
of cadets certainly sec»3inueh less than it should
be, and. perhaps, a great (lent less than it will be in
another year. lam now here for the second time
of my life, at the head, of that department in which
your future lot will probably carry you. I must
take the opportunity to express-the satisfaction I feel
at the general welfare of the institution, and again
applaud you for the praiseworthy manner in whieh*
your whole duty has boon performed, You aro the
men on whom the country is hereafter to depend for
the defence of her saeretl rights, and it is, therefore,
your, duty to fit yourselves for the high responsibility.
From haviDg been a peaceful people wc are now
going to become a great military nation, and n«
man can imagine the briber of golrUers that we
shall need, and of well-trained officers to guide and*
direct them in the art ot'war. The true secret of
this art is to lend men to victory, not to defeat. No
man con say at this moment that wo shall not yet
need and have an army three hr four, or five, or
ten times ns large as it now is. And this army must*
spring from this academy. This must bo its grand,
basis and fundamental principle. You, and, those
who crone after you, wilt have to form apart in the
composition—the rank and file—of that great army.
We have thousands of men. plenty of arms and
money, and these are great cssentials-in forming
nn army. But we miut also have woll-oducated
men to control its organisation, as-well as to control
its movements and the distribution of its means of
support. I know that OTery one of you will fulfil
to the best of your ability the trust reposed iuyou.
No man could venture to-say but that any oue of
you may, at some future dny, be called upon to
control the destinies of tbs nation
When I was here last the aged chieftain, who
has just: retired from the command of the army
crowned with age and honor, was with me as on
active member of the spjm* Board of Visitors. Hb
had served his country in the war. of 1812, as he
has ever faithfully served her, and now he has
hed« by the ikt of an unbending la>v T to give way
to die pressure of time- and long service. He is
now retired into private life, but he wills over live
in the memory of bia country and of the world.
Ten or twelve years after I was here, the young
and gallant soldier who now leads- our armies
graduated in this academy, and now. b? feoldg the
highest position in the world, where to-day ho
may be able to do more service to hie country "than,
any man who has ever lived in any country for the
last five hundred ycara. It has been-well.said by
the old Homans that greater praise was due to him
•who saved the Republic even than to him wlio
founded H Such in now the giory awaiting the
leader of our armies, and such, my young friends,
is the dignity to which each of you: aspires.

Washington in a special boat, upon business con
nected with his pest.
The 3torm at Hatteras Inlet has been very ee-
Tcrc. The recent high tides had completely over
flowed the space outside of the forts, and as a new
channel is forming between the forts, it !s appre
hended that they may become untenable.
About one fourth of the much needed clothing of
the . Twentieth Indiana regiment,had been landed,
from the Spaulding, on Friday night, whan the
gale came on and it was all washed away, with some
other stores that had boon landed..
Yesterday, ten days’ rations for the post were
safely landed, but the Spaulding brings back, the
greater part of her cargo.
Five rebel stoamers came near the Inlet yester
day, but retired after firing a eouple of shots.

At dawn yesterday we started, and on our way
looked in at Beaeon Island and Ocracoke, but saw.
nothing with certainty of the enemy at or near
cither place. "We then started tan Ilattcras Inlet,
and when near the position of inner busy the ene
my opened fire upon us from the fort and two.oC
their steamers without injury. On coming,
within easy raDge,. I sighted the rifled,
gun at the Harriet Lane and. lired, the fort and.
two steamers continuing, to floe at us as rapidly
as possible. We fired six shells of twenty-five and
twenty fuse, And as the course of the steamer was
necessarily changed te keep in the narrow channel,,
wo fired the stern gun at them live times, training
it well forward. It is uncertain whether the enemy
sustained any injury, although many of the crew
and officers think the fourth shell took effect umid
ship of a very long three-masted steamer lyingneac
the Harriet Lane , and another burst between tho
two. A small steamer, was seen employed tuning
a merchant vessel, either out of danger, or out of
range of the fovt. Tho "Vandals fired twenty-three
shells at us, only one of which eainc near,.
Feeling that I had carried out the spirit of your
instructions, I withdrew, and waited within,half a
mile of the hauy, hoping to draw tha small steamer
outside. When wo fired tho stern gun the ffirt re
turned tho shut. We stood back, fired another
shell, and then took our departure.
All hands displayed great enthusiasm, andseemed
delighted when one steamer began, moving toward
us. There w.0r,0 at anchor insult; sixteen sailing
