tb AWlitant-Quartermaster at Philadelphia, Colonel THOMAS, telling.him that if he had not a sufficient supply, to see that a sufficient sup ply for a force of not less than 200,000 men was obtained, taking care that no greater sum should be paid therefor than the Govern 1 nent bad before paid. I took that letter to Colonel THOMAS, and'he authorized me to procure shoes and forward them to him, i( I could find any body to make them. He ordered 75,000 pair. " Q. What did you do? A. I came to Benadict & Hall, ol this city, a large firm on Broadway, very well known, and tid them that Gol. Thomas had told me that it cost the Government, to make their own shoes,.about $2.20 a pair, which was the a mount he had limited me to pay. They said they would undertake to make them at that prico>Allhougli the Government standard real ty made the shoes worth more than that. They took the order. Qi. When was this? A. It was in May or June. The committee have no occasion to call in question the intcgnty of Mr. Cummings. Mr. Hall, in his testimony, says that he did not pay Mr. Cummings anything tor his Services, but Mr. Cummings simply requited, in this way, the kindoess of an occasional temporary loan ol ssooor slooo—(See page 609.) "From $1.90 to $2.00 per pair would have been a iair price for the shoes, (sewed.) If pegged, $1.35." CUMMINGS MAKES NO CHARGE FOR SERVICES. Mr. Cnmmings says he makes no charge a gainst the Government tor has services; and as to the settlement of his accounts he testifies at the time of his examination, (Sep. 6,) four months after this transaction had occurred, as follows: Q. And what amount of supplies have you purchased up to this time? A. This authority extended over a period of fifteen days, when I received a letter from the Secretary of VVar, saying that the communica tion had been re-opened, and that the purposes of my appointment were now accomplished, and the cessity for it having ceased, there j would b io further occasion for action out side of the regular authorities of the Govern ment. The authority under both letters ceas ed at the expiration ot about fifteen days from the date of the last one, and probably from the date of the first one. There also came, at the same time a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to those gentlemen I have named, asking them to desposit with Mr. Cisco the re maining funds in their hands. Thpy accor dingly desposited with Mr. Cisco, in round numbers, $1,750,000. Q. The whole of your proceedings under boh letters covered how much money? A. " bout $250,000. Q, $90,000 of which was to refund those gentlemen what they had themselves expan ded? A. Yes, sir; that is my recollection. Q. And that left you $160,000 with which to cover your own expenses? A. Yes, sir. Q. Has the Government called upon you to settle this account? A. The Secretary ol war spoke to me about it recently, and t told him as soon as I obtain ed the vouchers from Mr. Blatchtord they hould all be forwarded together. Q. How long since you tiled your vouchers with the Government for the expenditure of the $160,000? A. The vouchers I still have, but I return ed to the Department a statement of the arti cles forwarded. Q. Haw long since you made that statement to the Government? A. There has been no statement forwarded to the Government except a statement of the articles furnished. Q. Has the Government called upon you to furnish the vouchers? A. Ido not know as they have called upon me formally, but I have sta'ed that I was ready to forward them at any time. THE WAY CUMMINGS BUYS COAL. Q. How long is it since your authority was auperseded? A. It was some time in May; but all the transactions were not closed in May. There was some purchases of coal. I waited to have that shipped, and then I wailed for Mr. Blatch ford to return io the city, ia order that I might get the two sets of vouchers and forward them all. Q, Was the coal purchase an extensive pur chase? A. About 2000 tons. Q. From whom did you make that purchase' A. Ol the parties who a:e furnishing the Navy Department with coal. Q. And at'.he same price? A. Yes, sir. Q. When did you make the purchase' A. It was ordered about the time the first purchases were made, but it was not all ship ped. Q. Was there any difficulty m the ordinary officers of the Government "making that pur chase under contract? A- Tbey had no contract. Q. Was there any difficulty in their furnish ing articles of that kind? A. Not that I know of. Q. Through whom was the coal purchased? A. 1 asked Mr. JOHN TUCKER to purchase it, and the reason was that he was in Philadel phia, and was familiar wiih the whole coal bus iness. Q.Was there not a quartermaster in Philadel phia? A. Yes, sir. Q. The quartermaster was a competent per son, Was he not? A. Yea, air. Q. Why did you not do it through the pro per officer ol the Government? A. Because I did not think it necessary. I supposed my authority covered the whole ground. Mr. CUMMINGS, in expending this money, does not seem to have regarded it important to act in concert with the regular Government officers. Q. Did you consult with General WOOL as to the character of the purchase you made? A. No, nr. Q. Did you have any conference with offi cers of the Government who, under other cir cumstances, would have hau control of tho de partment ot business in which you are engag ed? A. I went to Major EATON, Assistant Com mittal J here* and I talked with Col. TOMPKINS. Q. Did you make any purchases under their super vision or direction? A. No, sir. Q, Did you (Jo spy one f the sets which you did <iu Uider Uie authority, in concert with either of those officers? A. I can hardly say that I did. CUMMINCS GAVE NO BOND FOR FAITHFUL PER FORMANCE OF DUTY. He gave no bond for the faithful appropria tion of the large sum of money placed under his control, and took no oath of office. His relations to the Secretary of War are thus sta ted:— Q. (By Mr. Holman.) You are personally tfccquainted with the Secretary <0 War? A. Yes, sir. Q. How long have you been acquainted with him, personally, and what are your re lations politically? A. 1 have been acpuainted with him for many years, and my personal relations are very intimate, and Ave have been politically acting together tor many years. CUMMINGS FORGOT A SMALL ITEM OF $140,000. Alter Mr. Cumnungs bad concluded his tes timony and taken the same tor revision, he ad ded the following note: "I have retained, under the authority of the Secretary ot the Treasury, by Messrs. Dix. Blatchtord and Opedyke, $140,000, besides what I have stated in my testimony, which is accounted for by the vouchers." Mr. CUMMINGS expressly stated that he had drawn out of the hands of Messrs. Dix, OPDYKE and BLATCIIFORD $250,000 ol the $2,000,000 placed in their hands, and had paid to them $90,000 to cover the supplies they had pur chased, and had expended himself $160,000, and that the residue, $1,750,000, by order ol the Secretary of the Treasury, was re-deposited with Mr. Cisco, the sub treasurer. Still, we are informed bv this note that Mr. CUMMINGS has retained $140,000 of the money, over and above that stated in his testimony, ($250,000,) '•which is accounted for by the vouchers." This item seem 9 to have been overlooked by him in his testimony. One hundred and fortjf thous and dollars in his hands, over and above the $160,000 for which he has filed vouchers in the War Department, and over and above the $90,000 lor which the vouchers are retained by Mr. BLATCIIFORD; and he deems it sufficient to state in general terms that it is accounted for by the vouchers." What has'got them? Can the Secretary of War pre tend that the national peril and the necessity for immediate action justified these irreponsi ble expenditures ot the public money, with no settlement for four montha afterwards, even if there had been no responsible and experienced public officers in New York to perform the du ties? Among the army supplies purchased by Mr. CUMMINGS, are the following: 280 doz. pts. ale St porter, $1.87,.. $525 00 35 quintals cod, 300 boxes herring, 214 37 200 boxes cheese, 26'pacuages butter, and cartage 1,541,79 6 barrels of tongues 127 60 1,970, doz. straw hats 4,156 68 19,680 pairs ol linen pants 17,220 00 53 barrels of pickles 25 casks ol Scotch ale, pricejnot stated. 10 casks of London porter, pries not stated 700 Hall's carbines (rej'd arml, sls each; 35 cases, $35 11,890 00 Tt is not necessary to say that these are not understood to be "army supplies ," as the term is used, except ihe 790 HALL'S carbines, which ia the same arm sold by the War Department in the lollowtng June lor $3 50 each—(See page .) Some of the above articles were shipped by the Catahne, which was probably loaded on private account, aud not being able to obtain a clearance, the cargo was in some way, thro' Mr CUMMINGS, transferred over to the Govern ment, Scotch ale, London porter, selected her ring, and all—(See page for tb6 cargo of the Cataline.) The Committee call attention to the accounts furnished them by' Mr. CUMMINGS. He says in his testimony (page 597) that Messrs. Dix, OPDYKE and BLATCHFORD purchased supplies, and chartered vessels, &c., to the amount of $90,000, for which he drew in their tavoron the funds deposited in their bauds; yet in fur nishing the account tor their expenditures he makes it $164,971 38 and swells his own ac count to a sum largely exceeding (he amount mentioned in his evidence. It would seem im possible that these accounts should ever be in telligently settled, from the miscellanous man net in which the business has been conducted Mr. CUMMINGS had no general acquaintance with business in New York. He had been a newspaper editor in Pennsylvania tor twelve years, and had been in New York as the pub lisher of another paper for eighteen months. He was the intimate personal and political friend ot the Secretary of War, and "acquain ted with the internal arrangments and connex ions of the railroads of Pennsylvania" over which supplies are to be shipped, and he is in vested with the control of $2,000 to purchase equipments for our army and the charter of vessels for transporting troops and supplies. He takes no oath and gives no bond. Without any occasion for calling in question the person al integrity of* Mr. CUMMINGS, his want of fit ness tor the position, from waDt of experience, is very manifest, and yet at that very time there are in the same city of New York gentle men of the highest character whose qualifica tions, integrity and patriotism have never been ' duestioned, so far as this Committee are inform ed, tilling the public of offices through which have always been performed the very duties assigned to Mr. CUMMINGS. Their great ex perience in their respective departments, as commissary and quartermaster, was at that moment of peculiar importonce to the Gov ernment; yet they are virtually superseded. The Committee has been unable to preceive any possible reason for this. In the judgement of the Committee, the em ployment ot Mr. CuMMiNGsb) the Secretary of War to purchase army supplies, charier ves sel--, &c., to the exclusion of the competent of ficers in the public employment at New York, was unjustifiably and injurious so the public in terests, and a dangerous precedent. It is the system they question, and not the integrity of the agent. The Committee call the attention ol the House especially to the failure of the War Department to require an adjustment of these accounts, four months having ehpsed since the supplies were furnished, and still even the 'ouchers for the expenditures had not at that time been sent to tha War Depart ment. And the BLATCHFORD vouchers are still unfiled, and the accounts still unsettled, as the committee are informed, thou.'h it is proper to state that the Secretary of War has since requested their settlement. The public interest demand more vigor, system and prompt ness, and no ooodition of publie affairs hare justified this loose and irfegular performance oi public duties. Such a system oi public policy must lead inevitably to personal favoritism at the public expense, the corruption of the* pub lic morals, and ruinous profligacy in theexpen dilurs of the public treasure, organizing an army of sppeis and miners whose covert assaults on the nation whould scarcely be less effective than the open assaults ot its traitorous enemies. In thejudgment of the Committee, the pur chase of supplies for army andjnavy purposes by private coutracts, when competition might be invited, and through irresponsible personal friands of parties holding position under the Government, when regular and responsible a gents of the Government can be employed, can not be too severely condemned. Especially at this hour ot national peril, the people have a right to expect fidelity and singleness of pur pose on the part of their agents. BEDFORD GAZETTE: —BEDFORD, Pa.— JAN. 10. 1562. B. F.

Republican Fraud and Corruption, When some of the officials connected with the administration of Ex-President Buchanan, were discovered in the commission of frauds up on the Government, the chaste and virtuous newspaper organs of the immaculate "Republi can" party, became exceedingly indignant and paraded in the boldest kind of display type, the "enormities" of the "Buchanan dynasty." Then it was that Covode did smell and Haskins ex pose ; then it was that Forney fumed and fret ted and flamed with fiery wrath at the misdeeds of the unfortunate "J. B.;" then the Tribune. whined and moaned and shed its crocodile tears over the malfeasance of the "Buchaneers," and its little sulphuretted satellite in this county and "our own Jordan" went into hysterics over the prospective ruin ot the country ere Abraham Lincoln, the great benefactor of the human race (Africans included) would be able to put the teal of his blessed unmentionables securely i| the Presidential chair. Oh ! how unease, how fierce and savage, was their anger at "the cor rupt old dotard," as they "loyally" and polite ly styled the President. How thorough and convulsing as to their moral stomachs, was their disgust at the "drivelling folly and criminal recklessness" of the "Old Man of the Sea," as they poetically and very satirically termed Mr. Buchanan. But where is their stern, proscrip tive, Puritanic love of public honesty, now? Where is their haired of treasury thieves, de faulting government agent 9, cheating contrac tors, embezzling tiuslees, speculating cabinet officers and peculating Generals? Where is the nasal appeudageot Covcde, the pen of Forney, dipped in gall ? Whence have disappeared '.hose Siamese twins of Northern politics, Hickman and Haskin, who lain would have cleansed the Augean stable of the Government of the filth deposited therein by party asinines and wind galled presidential equines? Ah! they are heard of no more. Fremont may buy damaged arms to impose them upon the Government at exor bitant rales, rent palatial houses at monstrous prices, build lostifications where tbey are not needed, purchase provisions through corrupt fa vorites, and engage in gigantic swindles gener ally, yet not a drop of reproof have these pious agitators of a year ago to administer 10 this grand Woolly Horse humbug of the Abolition Republicans. Cameron may employ Cuinminge and other parasites ot his, to clothe and victual the army, giving them carte blanekc for mil lions, without bond or security ol any sort, and it is all right in the eyes of the virtuous For ney, the far-smelling Covode and the rest of (be hypocritical lraud-hunters whose eyes were wont to be red with weeping over the sins of Floyd and Co. Can any one give us a reason for this strange quiescence on the part of these igreat and luminous moral reformers? Is there an interdict from the While House upon their tongues and their pens? Or are they too agree ably employed in sucking government pap to wag the former, and too busily engaged in sign ing contracts for spavined horses and scabby backed mules to use the latter, against the har pies that hang around the Treasury? Can any of our "Republican" friends who are fighting bravelyjWith red-tape and Uncle Sam's money bigs, enlighten us on this subject? Will not the Tribune's newspaper echo in this county, give us some information in this regard ? II no ex planation can be given on this point, will not, then, somebody inform us why SIMON CAMERON is retained in the Cabinet, after the censure pissed upon him by the Van Wyck committee, a portion of whose report we publish in this issue? Why ra it that the Republican journals do not yelp and howl upon Cameron's track as thej did when m chase -after the members of Buchanan's Cabinet? When millions on mil lions are squandered through the misconduct of the Secretary of War, and when a Committee of leading members of his own party publish I the evidence which convicts him of the most flagrant violation of official duty, why is it that Abraham Lincoln—"honest old- Abe"—retains him by his side? The people want answers to these questions. Will the "Republican" news papers dare to give them ? Cocal anil. fflificellanecrag. ... .A rumor of a battle at Hancock, Md., is prevalent here.

The election resulted in favor of Schellsburg bv 130 votes against 2 in favor of the School House.

To our Friends of ) Woodbury and Vicinity : J In behalf of my company I acknowledge the receipt of a large lot of refreshments from our friends at home. The express wagon arrived in Camp on Satur day evening, the 21 ?t inst., and the driver commenced unloading boxes and barrels, and as box after box, and barrel after barrel, was tum bled out on the ground, labeled "Capt. E. D. Drisban," the boys gathered around the pile and wore astonished. They were rolled into the markee and well guarded by our noble Lieut. Burley, until morning, (it was Sabbath morning,) but all were anxious to seejthe con tents. The old company axe was hunted up, nd the boxes and barrels were opened, one af ter another, and as packages were opened, fa miliar names were seen labeled on the different articles, which reminded us all of home again, and as the pile of turkies, chickens, sausages, cheese, cakes, tobacco, applehutler, butter, can ned fruit, and everything, that Morrison's Cove can produce, were increased until the tent was lull of the luxuries of life, we slopped to look, our eyes were moistened with tears of grati tude and thankfulness, and many a "God bless the people of Woodbury," went up by the Boys, and iu particular for the Ladies, God bless them forever. All of you shall be held in giateful remembrance, and as we go lorth to figntthe battles of our country, we are hap by loknow that your hearts are with us, and that you care for us, and if we should meet the traitors, our hearts will be cheered, and our arms made strong, with the thought that wc have friends at home.—And if we are so luck by as to come out safe and return home again, (.which God grant We may,) we will try to show our gratitude, for words fail to express what our nemts feel.

Mr. Editor:— The "All Hazard Boy%" have been a "gay and happy" band ever since it has been my good pleasure to be associated with them; but along with our sunshine and gaiety, we must expect to meet clouds and de ' privations. A number of our company have been in the hospitals with meaeels; bid have all been becoming convalescent as last as could be expected; except three, who unfortunately for us, shall never answer at our "toll call" again, for they are on earth no more. They were young men whom we had learn ed to appreciate for many patriotic and gentle manly qualities which characterized them. We assure their friends that they were well cared lor by the physicians and the company: but the monster death proved inexorable, and they manfully and heroically yielded to the call, and died in the noblest cause in whicli they could have engaged. Here are the sentiments of the company, which we submit to your columns; will you have the kindness to publish them! J. If. L. Whereas, it has pleased Providence to re move from earth and our number, our esteemed friends and lellow-volunteers, John Ruby, John Oler, and Jacob Defibaugh, members of our company, Therefore, Resolved, By the "All Hazard Boys," Caplain Compher, that we leel deeply grieved at the los 3 of our highly respected fel low members above named,, and that we sin cerely sympathise with their bereaved friends at home. Further Resolved, That we find consolation in the earnest hope that our deceased friends now. enjoy that bliss which is promised to ell the good beyond the tomb. What Uas Been Settled? The New York Post, a Republican paper, is not disposed to attach too much faith to the be liet that the surrender ot Mason and Slidell will satisfy Great Britain. It gives its reasons as follows: We are r.ot altogether certain that the Eng lish government will accept of the reasons which Mr. Seward assigns for yielding Mason and Sli de!! to their demand. It is not apparent to lis that that government has, by its demard and by the acceptance and the answer of our gov ernment, settled any doctrine whatever, either the disputed claim of Great Britain to impress seamen, or the right ol taking ambassadors out of a neutral vessel, or any other substantial point. The demand ot England was not made on any particular ground. The statement of Lord Russell was very broad, that certain individu als had deen forcibly taken from on board a British vessel, on a lawful and innocent voy age, an act of violence which was an affront to the British flag, and a violation ol international law. It should be borne in mind that speak ing this was not even presented to us as a for mal demand. Lord Lyons was instructed to in form the Secretary of Stale that he should make the demand, leaving the secretary to offer the same terms himself which the British govern ment would ask. The course was courteous and diplomatic, dut it results in placing the sur j render ol Mason and Slidell wholly on the ! grounds staled by the Secretary of State in his letter, and England is not bound by the argu ments and explanations ol Mr. Seward.- We are inclined to think that we have not gained so much on England in this matter as some have supposed. II the wi!y English diplomatist should see fit to reply in cold and forrtial terms to Mr. Seward admitting noth ing and denying nothing, the case will be prece dent wholly useless, except as against us in the future, but not binding England to any princi ple, unless the broad ground that a ship must be brought intd port lor admirably jurisdiction be belore passengers or goods can be taken out of her,shall be established by future correspon dance on the subject. It is not perhaps possi ble, it will certainly not be honorable for Eng land to withdraw from the subject. It is not perhaps possible, it will certainly not be hon orable, for England to withdraw from the sub ject with out admitting or denying this point. But she may do so, ar.d when Mr. Seward's letter is read in England, we take it for granted here will de a strong disposition there to avoid conceding any of the principles which he lays down for the future assent of the two coun tries. We ire not to be understood as finding fault with the surrender of Mason and Slidell. We remarked sometime since that the nation would sustain the government in so doing, if the course was determined on. But we are not satisfied with the manner in which the surrender has been made, and we greatly mistake the nature of Englishmen and Americans if it shall be found that we have made any advance in settling principles of international law by the course which has been pursued.* A LETTER FROM ENGLAND.— The War Feel ing.—The following is an extract Irom a Lon don letter received in Washington, dated De cember 18: s Parliament meets early in January, and wheth er there is war now or not, the South will be recognized, and the blockade raised early in the session. The death of Prince Albert, who was an ab olitionist, will strengthen Palmerston for the war, which Ire desires. If General Scott gives a true report on the arrival of the Arago, you will have learned that Louis Napoleon by giv ing moral support to this country, will get pre cisely what tie wants, cotton and tobacco, with out the expense of a war. We are curious to see what the New York baoks will do with regard to their negotiations wuh Mr. Chase. A war with the United States has alrpady been discounted in our money market, and when it actually begins consols will rise. Cotton has not played so great a part in the present difficulties as was expected, and the mere cotton interest of flie country is greatly divided. The holders of the raw material do not, of course, desire supplies; in Manchester, also, there ts still a large stoek of manufactures un sold, at prices less than the raw material itself, while the pressure from the number of persons out of work is not due until the end of next month or the beginning ol February. This source of natural anxiety would , of course, be removed by a war and the West India squadron alone is here deemed sufficient to raise the blockade. Volunteers Mtentio%!

Considering the enormous number of youne M D's that our medical colleges turn'out every year, we certainly ought (if there be any j r . tue in "regular physicking,") to be a much healthier people than wc are. But the ills of mortality do not shorten as the list of doctors lengthens. Quite the reverse ! Shall we say wilh Macbeth, "Throw physic to the dogs, I'|| none of it!" No, that will not do. Nature when attacked by disease, needs an ally loiut tain her. An ally, remember; not a depleting agent that helps the disease and exhausts her energies. We verily believe that most of the drugs adir inistered in acute diseases have this effect. Such, however, is not the operation of one medicine now generally used in this coun try for complaints of the stomach, liver and bowels. We mean HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Of course, oui readers are aware that both the Ointment and Pills which bear the name of that distinguished physician and philanthropist, are in the highest possible repute all over tha world; but we have only had an opportunity to witness the effect of the pills. It gives us pleasure to testify to their efficacy. In dyspep sia and liver complaints they unquestionably work the most marvelous cures. Nay, we will even go so far as to say that with this remedy within the reach, no man or womao need ever be long troubled with dyspepsia. The pills i*. move the distress at '.he stomach, and restore the strength and appetite with a tapidity that is really astonishing.

While in this condition, oppressed by the derangements, take AyeHe Pills, and see how directly they restoie the nat ural action of the system, and with it the buoy ant feeling of health again. What is true and so apparent in this trivial and common com-, plaint, is also true in many of the deep-seated and dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc tions and derangements of the natural function#, of the body, tbey are rapidly and maoy of them surely, cured by the same means. None who know the virtues of these Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering from the disorder# they cure, such as Heudache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Complaint.., Indigestion, Derangement of the Liver, CostiveQefaor-Ccp*. stipalion. As a Dinner Pill they are both f greeable and effectual. PRICE 25 CTS. rsa BOX, OR FIVE BOXG3 ro* Prcpared by Dr. J. C. AYEK, & Co., Lowell, fifty** Lost!
