Getting- up the Cry of Extravagance-
The Lewistown Democrat, as well as
most papers of that stamp, are now week-
Ij engaged in crying out " fraud," "cx
travagance," &c. against the present ad
ministration. That in the extraordinary
emergency in which Buchanan's adminis
tration left our government —with one
half of all the departments, including the
heads of Lureaus, sympathizing with or
working for the traitors—it would be no
wonder if frauds had been committed, but
certainly not to the extent charged. The
Van Wyck and other committees were ap
pointed by a repjjblicai) congress, and arc
composed of a majority of republicans, and
by their fearless exposure of both friend
and foe, show that they differ very mater
ially from the democratic investigating j
committees in Buchanan's time, wbo would !
have '-whitewashed" Satan himself had he
held the post of Secretary of War, Navy, ;
or Treasury Besides, the Democrat is
making some very palpable distinctions. — ;
It gives the Secretary of the Navy credit j
for the stand he took in justifying his em
ployment of Mr. .Morgan, but condemns
4jen. Cameron, although he too took high i
ground, for in a late report in reply to a
call for information, made by the Senate,
he incidentally remarked :
" I take this occasion to repeat the state- i
fr.ent that I hare never made a contract since
i took charge of the War Department, for
any purpose whatever, having always inter- j
preted tho laws of CoDgree* to intend that
the heads of bureaus, a!! of them able and
experienced officers of the regular army, shall ;
make all cuntrgcts for supplies for the branch
< for the service severally under their
charge."
If 'his statement of Gen. Cameron is
not tiue, it appears to us it would not be
a difficult matter to show it; if it is true.
" *
then whatever wrong h:s been committed
ought to Lo blamed on those under whose au
thority it was done. When the truth i ciU
conn.- t<< light, we have little doubt the fact
iff ill bo establised that more than half of
'he instruments of evil who have defraud
ed the gover.me:.*, will prove to be politi
cal Ir.e-.: of tne to-called democratic
party.
In times like the present, it would be
far Letter for ad concerned to deal cautious
ly in making charges of fraud and extrav
agance against those in power, because the
accompanying circumstances are not al
ways known. For instance, a contract to
turnieh oats, corn, four, Ac. at a given
point, at double the selling price here,
paight appear extravagant, yet who would
have undertakan to furnish certain sup
plier jit v\yasspbagtpn, after the battle of
Manassas, A"e,n at .bgOM rates? As mat
ters now stand contractors may any day be
interrupted in their transportation on the
Baltimore and Washington railroad, cjpd i
with the Potomac nearly blockaded, it
would require transportation by wagons
over the worst kinds of roads.
We accord to Secretary Welles upright
ness of conduct and genuine patriotism,
and while it would have looked better had
Mr. Morgan taken less, yet no one can well
blame him for charging what usage in pri
vate mercantile transactions authorized him
legally to take. We append a synopsis of
Mr Welles' defence:
Proceeding to treat the subject in detail,
the document refers to the difficulties which
beset it nt the first; the purchase of ships by
naval officers proved s failure; these men had
no taler.t for malting bargains, and tt;ey
were cheated. Finding it necessary to take
a mercantile agent, the question arose wheth
er to employ several or only one. In the
opinion of the Secretary, the appointment
of several would multiply his responsibility
and divide theirs. So hs settled upon one. j
vV'hcn he looked about for the proper person, 1
LU y*s fell on Mr. Morgan; he knew, that the
relationship existing between them furnish
ed ground far invidious remark ; but he kntw,
he says, that Mr. Morgan would be the best
man iur the work, and he was willing to sac
rifice himself for the sake of the cause. The
.sgeDt being appointed, the wr rk was to be
commenced. Here Mr. Welles calls atten
tion to the feet that the time wai short, th<
nsoeaaity pressing. There could he no ad
vertising, no sealed proposals—none of th
ordinary machinery in such cases made and
provided. The work must be done directly by
the ageßt, and between himself and the vari
oos ownera of ships. Accordingly, Mr. Mor
1 gan began his work. Mr. Welles is of th
opinion that his agent ba# been the direct
i means of saving the government much
expense : that the parehas-ea have been invar-
iablv made with discretion ; and that, although
- the "compensation has been very great, yet
the amount of operations was large, and a
1 moderate commission in single instances
' would make a large aggregate. Tbe paper
| then embodies a long Communication from
r Mr. Morgan himself to the chairman of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs, wherein
he takes substantially the same Tiews of the
same sa*e as that of the Secretary himself.—
Then f< How s a narrative of some length, des
cribing the peculiarities of sundry purchas
es, and a passage in favorofhuyingnccording
to mercantile usage. Another paragraph
concerns the fitness of Mr. Morgan for hi
work ; denies the allegation of the Senate
report, to the effect that he had never known
by experience anything of the business of ship
buying ; and puts forth some testimonials as
to 'his"ability and honesty. With these tbe
document draws to a close.
PROCEEDINGrbT CONGRESS.
In the Senate on the 21st, the discussion
of the resolution for the expulsion of Mr.
Bright, of Indiana, attracted great atten
tion. Mr. Sumner addressed the Senate
in favor of his expulsion with great bitter
ness Mr. Lane, of Indiana, followed, de
claring his intention also to vote for expul
sion unless some stronger grounds of de
fence were offered. Mr. Bright responded
and defended himself against the charge
i of treason, and the Senate adjourned before
. coming to a vote on the resolution.
In the House Mr. Colfax's bill requiring
'■ postage to be paid on all newspapers car
; ried by express agents and railroads
of the mail was laid on tbe table.
The Senate was engaged on the 22d
principally in the further discussion of the
resolution for the expulsion of Mr. Bright, '
of Indiana, on the ground of disloyalty to
the Government. Mr. l)avis, ofKentncky, j
addressed the Senate in favor of the reso
lution, contending that the whole course
of Mr. Bright had been in sympathy with
tho South. Before coming to a vote an ,
adjournment was moved and carried.
The Committee of tba House of Bepre
scntatives on the Conduct of tho War have
determined to propose secret aessions when
they paay be dasirod by the' President on '
measures relating to the war, requiring
that they shall deliberate and come to a j
coaclaaion thereon before adjournment,
limiting speeches to fire minutes, and any
member disclosing the proceedings to be
expelled.
The Senate on the 23d, passed and sent
to the House the resolution censuring Mar
shal Latnon for refusing to permit Congress
men to visit the District jail. The bill
making appropriation for the completion of
the defences around Washington, was
amended with a provision punishing with
death spies or others breaking the " safe
guard" of the military line, and passed.—
The special order of the day. the report of
the Judiciary Committee adverse to expel
ling Mr. Bright. Senator from Indiana, was
taken up, and the debate thereon continued
until the Senate went into session
In the House a bill was passed authori
zing the President to appoint lighthouse
inspectors during and for one year after
the continuauce of the rebellion. The
Naval Appropriation bill wa reported to
the House, and the Military Academy bill
discussed in Committee of the Whole.
In the Senate on the 2-jtth, the creden
tials of Hon. Robert Wilson were presen
ted as Senator from Missouri. Objections
to his loyaity were made by Mr. Wilkinson
but were withdrawn on explanations being
made that fully relieved Mr. Wilson from
all suspicion,and he wassworn in. Mr. Sher
man introduced a bill establishing two new
bureaus in the Navy Department, one for
detail and equipment and the other for
engineering and machinery. The bill re-
organizing the circuits of the United States
District Court was passed. By the bill
North Carolina Is added to the circuit here
tofore-consisting of Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia. The consideration of the case of
Senator Bright, of Indiana, resumed.
The House of Representatives yai occu
pied nearly all day in the discussion cf the
Senate bill making appropriations for the
Consular service. After acting on various
amendments the bill was reported back.—
Adjourned to Monday.
In the Uouse on MonJay Mr. Colfax
introduced a bill to render more uniform
the postage upon printed matter. The bill
making appropriations for the West Point
Academy waa passed and the Legislative,
; Judi,oiid avd Kxecutive Appropriation bill
taken up.
In-the Senate Mr. Wade introduced a
bill for th£ more effectual suppression of
the slave trad*. He alto called up the
resolution previously submitted by himself
providing that when any member of either
House shall state that the President desires
immediate action upon any matter pertain
ing to the rebellion, the Senate or llou_3e,
sg the case may be, shall go into secret
• session, with speeches limited to five rain
s utes, and shall consider no other subject
. until such measure shall be disposed of,
> was diaoussed during the morning hour.—
The ease of Mr. Bright, Senator from In
■ diana, ws further discussed, but no rote
\ was taken.
agL-Our Legislature, with the folly which
has characterized it for several years, is
1 spending its time in talking about the cor
ruptions of i's predecessor, just as the next
will about this. Experience has shown
th*t these after investigating proceedings
seldom result in any benefit to the State,
indeed they often cost tuore than the sub
ject is worth. Let the Legislature discard
all party or monopolizing business, make a
sensible revision of the revenue laws, pro
vide for any emergency likely to arise, and
adjourn ; and, our irord for it, the people
will irive them more credit than if they
pass a thousand acts aid put through a doz
en investigations.
Trent affair has been ended by
| the concession which Mr. Seward made,
and the expected trouble has been stayed
off—for the present. The British Ministry,
j we learn, are content, perforce, with Mr.
Seward's return of Mason and Slidell,
! though they had not, at last advices, been
able to digest the terms of Mr. Seward's
letter.
WAR NEWS.
From the Burnside Expedition-
The most important intelligence since
our last, is the receipt of some news
; from the Burnside expedition, which met
j with several disasters in the storms of the
! past tw* weeks. One account makes out
! the loss of several vesssls, but the official
!
j despatches do not confirm the news. We
| annex the latest:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.— A special
messenger, with despatches from General
Burnside, reached Washington this morn
ing.
They are dated "Head quarters Depart
ment North Carolina, Hatteras Inlet, Jan
26th."
The messenger left Ilatteras on Sunday.
General Burnsides states:
u Wc left our anchorage at Annapolis on !
Thursday thi 9th, and after a protracted
passage, owing to dense fogs, arrived at
Fortress Monroe.
Saturday, Jan 10—morning.—We pro
ceeded at once to sea, but owing to fogs on
Sunday and Sunday night ot]s progress was j
very slow.
Monday, Jan. loth.—Weather cleared *
with heavy wind and rough sea. which caus
ed our vessels to labor very heavily, and
some were obliged to cut loose from the
vessels they were towing. Most of them,
however, passed over the bar and anchored
inside the Harbor about noon, on 15th
just in time to escape the severe gale ot
M(today night and l'ucadfij p"he propel
ler City of New York, ran oa tQ thi bar at
the entrance to the harbor, anj f-fing
the severe weather and wantofsm&jj bpajs,
we could render her no assistance. sb, e
was laden with stores and was lost.
The General also says lie had been led
to suppose that he would find experienced
pilots at Hatteras. but had great difficulty
in accomplishing his wish for want of r rop
er accommodation.
fie adds, he wuuiJ commence that day
to build a wharf for landing supplies. The
men were cheerful and patient, and he
would proceed with confidence. An acci
dent occurred in an effort to relieve the
steamer New York by which a boat was
swamped, and the lives of Co!. Alien, 9th
New Jerse\", his surgeon and the mate of
the boat were also lost.
After the arrival of the expedition at
Hatteras the enemy made their appearance
in one or two vessels on a reconnoitring ex
pedition. Our boats gave chase and drove
them back.
The transports and vessels grounded will
be got off by aid of the tugboats. Only
one, the New York, was lost, and no lives,
the three above referred to excepted.
Our latest advices from the South show
that the rebel organs are now compelled to
admit that tbej met with a terrible disaster
at Mill SpriDg, and they acknowledge they
are in danger of having their communications
with the southeast cut off by Gen. Burnside,
and their communications with the south
west cut off by our forces in Kentucky.
Despatches from Kansas City state that a
body of Texsos marched on Fort Craig on the
4th, but on reaching within thirty miles of
that pest, retreated without making an at
tack. The scouts from the fort had been cal- '
led in, and a serious battle was anticipated.
Governor Connelly had ealied out the whole
ntili&& force. Colonel Canby, who commands
at the fort, has 1,000 regulars and 1.500 vol
unteers and militia under bim. Great excite
ment prevails at Santa Fe, and martial law
had been proclaimed in the district.
The Qoincy (Florida) Dispatch of the Bth
inst. says tbe British steamer Gladiator, which
recently ran the Federal blockade, is safely
moored in a Florida port. Her cargo of arms
is valued at two millions of dollars.
The Pensacola Observer of tbe 9th says
that about one dosen slaves recently escaped
to Fort Pickens.
Ths Marshall (Texas) Republican of tbe
14th inst. iearns of large mortality among tbe
Texas troops on the Potomac.
Two companies of cavalry made a recon
noissance from Lexington, Missouri, on the
16th inst., and succeeded in capturing sever
al notorious Rebel desperadoes, together with
a iarge lot of horses, mules, wagons, and com
missary stores, which had been taken from
Col. Mulligan'a command, and considerable
quantity of boota and shoes which the Rebels
took from the steamer Sunshine. Colonel
• Dietzler, in command at Lexington, baa or
dered the arrest of a large number of wealthy
and influential Secees. joists, whom he b>lds
responsible for the conduct of their hirelings
| in assassinating his men.
Official Accounts of the Victory.
< The following deapatch was received at
Washington on Wednesday evening:
LOLLS VILLZ, Jan. 22, 1862.
! To Major General an. Commanding
the United Slate* Army :
The following has just beeu receive! from
Gen. Thomas :
The rout of the eneni v was complete. Af
ter succeeding in getting two pieces of artil
lery aerosa the river, and upwards of fifty
wagons, he abandoned the rest with all the
ammunition in the depot at Mill Spring
They then threw away their anns. and dis
perse-d through mountain by ways in the di
rection of Monticello. but are so completely
demoralized that I do not believe they will
make a stand short of Tennessee.
The property captured on this side of the
river is cf great value, amounting to eight
six pounders and two Parrott guns, with cais
sons filled with ammuuitDn ; about one hun
dred four horse wagons, and uf wards of
twelve hundred horses and mules ; several
boxes of arms, which have never been opened
and from five hundred to one thousand mus
kets, (mostly flint locks, but in good order ;)
subsistence stores enough to serve the entire
command for three days, and a large amount
of hospital stores.
! "As soon as I receive the report o?the bri
gade commanders, I will furnish a detailed
report of the battle. Our loss was thirty nine
killed, and one hundred and twenty seven
wounded. Among the wounded were Colo
nel MoCook, of the Ninth Ohio, commanding
a brignde, and his aid. Lieutenant Bart, of
the Eighteenth United States Infnntry. The
1 loss of the rebels was: Zollicoffcr and one
hundred and fourteen others killed and buri
ed, one hundred and sixteen wounded, and
forty five taken prisoners, (not wounded.)
five of whom are surgeons, and including
: Lieutenant Colonel Carter, of the Seventeenth
Tennessee Regiment.

Gen Ha Heck on Negro Catching.
By the following order to Gen. Asboth t it
will be seen that Gen. Ilalleck is determined
that the soldiers of his department shall keep
within the Constitution and laws, instead of
transcending them to turn themselves into
negro catchers. The ueueral is resolved that
his soldiers shall devote themselves to the
duties of soldiers, and have the negro police
business where the law has placed it, and to
those who have a taste for it, and who have
undertaken that duty:

ST. Louts, Dee. 2G, 1861. \
GENERAL: —It would seem, from the re
port of Major Waring to you (referred to
these headquarters), that he had, in compli
ance with your ins'ructions, delivered to Capt.
Holland a fugitive in his camp, claimed bv
Capt. 11. as the property of his father in law.
This is contrary to General Order No. 3.
object o! those orders is to prevent anv
p.. rsor in th° army fr m acting in the eapnc
ltjr of negro catcher or negro sfaler. The
relating, between the slave and his master is
not a matter to be determined by military
officers. except in the single cte provided t r
by Copgrei-;. This matter. in nil other cases
U)U£p l.e decile J u y the civil auth rit;cs. One
object in keeping fugitives tut • f our camps
is to keep "f a;{ such questions. Mat

may. withou' cur assistance o- interference.
Order N<>. doc? p. apply t the author

g~At a festival on seme occasion among
the soldiers in Missouri, one of them from
Adrian offered the following extravagant sen
timenr, which is printed in a Missouri paper.
" Jeff Paris. —May he be set afloat in an
open boat, without compass or rudder : may
that boat and contents be swallowed by a
shark, and the shark swallowed by a whale, '
the whale in the devil's beiiy, and the devil
in hell, the door locked and key lost: and
further may he be chained in the southwest
cornsp of hell, and a northeast wind blow ash
es in his eyes to ail eternity.
9S&,The demented street preacher, Kirk
land, while searching in the Sixth Ward, not
long since, for a crock of gold, which he be
lieved to have been buried in a certain lucaii
ty, became exercised at the suggestion made
to bim that the owner of the property where
the prize might be found was entitled to it,
and consulted the Mayor upon this important
point. The argument he urged against the
right of the property owner was that " the
earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
