Ido not know but there may be honest navy agents; I will not say but that there are; I hope and believe that there are some; but I say that under the present system we have no possible control over them, and I would get control of them in some way. We have no control ever our naval storekeeper, and I would secure control over him. lam one of those who believe that a life commission and the epaulets on the shoulders of a man who has been reared to believe that honor is the highest consideration of any man and officer, is a greater guarantee to the Government than all the bonds that you could pile into the Capitol of the nation. Under the present system, if anything is wanted at a navy yard the Navy Agent directs the con. tractor to procure it. Eor instance, there is an article of Massey's logs that are used on our ships, and which are manufactured at New York. The place where they an) sold is on Broadway. They are sold at the price - of twenty dollars. When we wanted some of them the order was given to a man by the name of Scofield, and they were furnished to the Government at the price of thirty-six dol lars. The Naval Committee do not think it ne cessary to abolish tlui system under which this is done! The article of pressed hair, which the manufac turer and patentee offered to furnish to the Gov ernment for ten cents a pound, was furnished to the Government.by one of these naval contractors who axe to be protected by the action of the Naval Committee, or rather by its chairman, at nineteen cents a pound. The bill which I introduced required that all articles such as oil should be analyzed. During the last two years and a half we have been paying from $1 75 to $2 50 a gallon for sperm oil. I hon estly believe that we have not had in the public service a gallon Of sperm oil during that whole time. It has turned out by an investigation that has been gone into, that a portion of the oil fOr which we paid St 69, was procured by the con. tractor at eighty cents, and was almost entirely lard oil mixed.with a little sperm.

Senate, on Monday week, a sharp debate took place on naval matters. Mr. Grimes, of the Naval Committee, made a personal expla nation and a speech in favor of reform in the ope rations of the present system. He is supposed to represent the views of becretary Welles. We give a portion of his remarks: ItEPOR'I3 PROPOSKD At the instance of a friend of mine, a member of this body, I undertook to draw up a bill which I thought would obviate some of the troubles in con. nection with. the Navy Department, and abolish some of the corruptions that I knew were pre vailing in connection with the furnishing of sup plies under naval contracts. 1 called to my as sistance, those men in the Navy Department and out of it, with whom I bad conversed before and at the time that' drew It, who, as I knew, had the most experience. -After it was drawn, the bill was sent to prominent merchants in Boston, New York and - Philadelphia,- aindfroisethem - I retched replies and suggestions in regard I. amendments. There was one point in connection with that bill upon which there was a diversity of opinion among those with whom I conversed, and that was whether the purchase of naval supplies should be confined to naval cams, including officers of the line and the staff, or whether they should be made as they now are through navy agents, who were political appointees. Some of the gentlemen, and among them the chief of she Bureau of Yards and Docks, were in favor of appointing civilians to Athea° offices, but con necting .43:tem with the Navy Department as the naval constructors are now - connected with it. 1 did not concur in that view. I believed that the safest and beat way was to appoint naval officers of some grade, either of the line or staff, to fulfil these duties, and I reasoned from analogy as well as from experience. What would be thought of selecting quartermasters and commissaries to supply your army from civil life alone, not making them military officers at all, giving them no com mission, not making - them responsible before a military tribunal for any of their conduct 1 And what, pray, is a navy agent but a quartermaster, and what is a naval sterekeeper but an ordnance or military storekeeper, each of whom is subor dinate and subject to military law for their con ductl HOW PRATTDB ABB COMMITTBD Under the present system bills are submitted in classes. Suppose the Government wants a large qnantity of various descriptions of iron. An or. der comes from the Navy Department to the com mandant of the yard to know how much and what descriptions of iron will be needed at that yard for the next year. The commandant says to the mas. ter blacksmith, “Fill ant a schedule of these arti cles and a descriptioa of them." The contractor goes to the master blacksmith, and corrupts him. He bribes him, and gets him to make a schedule certifying that he will need, for instance, a thou sand pounds of one inch square iron, and ten thousand . pounds of two inch square iron. The contractor thereupon bids for the largest article the smallest amount for instance, a quarter of a cent; for that of which the smallest amount is to be furnished he bids eight cents, the average price of Iron being four cents. Having this perfect understai;ding with the master blacksmith, when the contractor is required to fill his contract, and to go on as they are required to do, and fill, in addition to the amount originally stipulated in the contract any more of that description of iron that is required, only a very small portion of this quarter cent iron will be called for, while enormous quantities of the eight cent iron will be called for. Thus the Government is defrauded. So it is in regard to lumber, and so it is in regard to every article of supply that is furnished to the Navy Depart ment. THN NAVY .L.GY7fTB PHILADELPHIA; TUESDAY, APRIL '19:‘.1.Z.484`.` FROM FORT ROYAL. [Correspondence of the New York Herald.] HILTox liken, S. C., April 13, 1861.—.Witain • ! the past ten days Col. Howell - , the energetic and vigilant District Commander, has been stirring the rebels up in the neighborhood of Savannatenn a lively manner. On the Ist of April he ascended -the Colleton river on the armed tug Thomas Foulke, escorted by the gunboat Chippewa, Lieut. tom. Stone, and gained the rear of Bluffton. The rebel picket stations were shelled and broken up, and some captures of prOperty made. The rebels offered but little resistance, which was easily overcome by an apicti.tion of canister and grape ,from the Chippewa's and Foulks' s guns. But two casualties occurred on our side. Two of the Chip pewa's crew, named James P. Garigan, coal t Paver, and Edward Reeds, first class boy, were injured by musket balls, neither very seriouSiy. 'lt is not known what loss the enemy sustained; On Friday last Colonel Howell paid a visit to the rebels up the May river, with .he armed steamers Croton and Foulke, accompanied by the Chip. pews. The troops consisted of detachments from the 76th and tsth Pennsylvania regiments Col. Howell landed on Hunting Island, and skirmished with a strong rebel force. and drove them a con • siderable distance. On retiring the 4 rebels followed and opened a sharp musketry fire, but were held in cheek by the Chippewa's shell. The expedi non then proceeded to a point a quarter . of a mile from ana to the rear of Bluffton, and shelled a rebel force out of the town. The expedition re turned without suffering any casualties. It has been a well-known fact to the military authorities that thi-, island has been infested by a number of rebel spies for a long time back. Ef forts have been made to detect and arrest them, but thus far without success. One of them, .named William Ftnigan. slid to be a son of Gen eral Finigan, of Florida and an officer in the rebel army, is known to have been on the island. Before he could be apprehended he succeeded in making his escape fr,m our lines and returning to his friends. The following is a farewell epistle which he is alleged to have written and securely pinned to a tree outside the intrenchments, ad dressing it thus: 'Yankee, take this off and read. m. Finigan. C. S. A. Army." 1111. TON HEAD, S. C., March., 1861.—Most re spected "Yanks"—l have had a most delightful time in your midst. I came here on a tour of pleasure and observation, and am highly gratified with my success. I have to return thanks to the "powers that he" in the island—both officers and men—for their gentlemanly behavior in not practising that great Yankee, peculiarity—inquisitiveness. It would not be agreeable to a gentleman in my position. „ I remain, dear Yanks, from Q. A. down, yours to fight, WM. FINIGAN, C. S. Army. if the letter is genuine, it shows that Finigan is as lin pad, nt as ho is audacious and bold. The second .anniversary of the capture of Fort Pulaski was celebrated in a becoming and festive manner by the garrison of the fort on Monday last.• An accident occurred to Colonel Howell and Lieutenant Wilson, the latter of the Ist Artillery, by the overturning of a small boat in which they were abcint to proceed from the steamer Cossack, to the shore, which at one time threatened to termi nate fataly to them. Fortunately the gentlemen succeeded in reaching the shore, from which they were rescued by a small boat from thestsamer, and safely brought to her again, Ina decidedly damp condition, but unhurt.

By Command of Major• General Q. A. GILLMORE. DX W. SMITH, Assistant Adjutant•GeneraL IMPORTANT FROM HAVANA. • [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] HAVANA, April 13, 1564.—8 y a schooner which has arrived at a port in this island we have news from Matamoras to the 2uth ult. We know from experience that the people there appear to know as little of what is going on in the interior of the country as if they lived on the banks of the St. Lawrence; therefore anything coming from there must be received with due caution. Up to the day on which the schooner sailed there had bee* no demonstration against Matamoras be yond the presence, near the bar, of a French fri gate—name not given. We know the, expedition bad not left Vera Cruz on the let of this month, several day if later, but was then very nearly ready, so we may expect something definite by the Spanish mail steamer next week. Gorham, in the mean while, is not idle, _ and has ordered his forces to fortify themselveir oh the river bank, being deter mined, he says, to oppose the French to the last extremity. By telegraph from Santiago de Cuba we ate in formed of the arrival there of a. steamer from St. Domingo City with news to the '2d inst., the most important part of which is the victory claimed to have been gained by the Spaniards at Puerto Plata on the 27th ult. It appears, from the very meagre details. that ane insurgents, on - this °celesta& were the eggreseors, attacking the Spanish intranch merits with great resolution. They were repulsed, however, atter a fight which lasted three hours, and left, we are told, two hundred dead on tne held; the Spaniards losing only three killed and `sixty-five wounded, moat of them very slightly. . A desperate band-to-band fight of three hours, and only one man per boar killed ! Wonderful, eh 1 As they themselves would say, tind pangs. Some careless correspondent may enlighten us a little. when we receive the details of this affair. I learn, much to my surprise, that troops are arriving at Santiago do Cnba, from St. Domingo 'and Spain, to form part of the Monte. Christi ex pedition, which I thought had been not only or ganized long since, but in the field. At this rate they' will not be ready to march before the month of July, when it will be impossible to commence a campaign. Therefore I suppose there will be no such expedition until the approach of winter, by which time many unforaeen events may happen. The latest I have heard in regard to the Florida is that a mercantile house in Mantauzas received last Monday a despatch from Remedios stating that the much-dreaded privateer was then in that port. It is said that several Union vessels have gone in. pursuit, The Powhatan, with Admiral Lardner on board, was off this port on Sunday, ;and sent in a boat to proonzo provisions. On the OUR WHOLE ,CO UNTRV i :'_ c:i.. Y:'l',l Xq; VEIBECIUM Fame morning the schooner Belle arrived from and, when within four or five yards of_ the Moro, was overtaken by a small steamer from Bey West, the Marigold, carrying one gun, the captain of which called on the schooner to surrender, and then fired into her. The consequence is that another claim for dam ages will be sent to Washington by the government here, which is now engaged in preparing the neces sary testimony. - CITY BULLETIN.

THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR.—We have be fire stated that men bad commenced , work upon the buildings in Logan Square, for the Great Cen tal Fair for the Sanitary Commis ion In the cen tre of the square the main building is to be located. It will be a handsome structure, running acro , s the square, from east to west, BO feat by 500 feet. All the graveled walks will he caverPd, and will form passage-ways to the main building. There will be four entrances; a turret of graceful pro portions will adorn each entrance, and the large building will he snrmonnu.d by a dome. In the centre of the latter will be an immense flag-staff, larger, probably, than any other in the United states. There will be, besides, thirteen other flag staffs in other parts of the square. The space, altogether, will be three times larger than that al loted to the New York Sanitary Fair, and there will be better accommodations for visitors and pur chasers - Goods which arrive from the country before the opening of the Fair will be stored with safety in an apartment now almost completed in the square.

IMPROYEMINT n RECIIIIITING.—There was a decided improvement in the recreiting - busmess yesterday. This was, no doubt, owing ti the an nouncement that the payment of the eity bounty would be continued until further notice. This ssorsing the P ayor homed warrants for the pay ment of the bounty to 47 men, the amount being $11,750. Yesterday the number was only nine. It Is generally understood that there will be no draft before the let of May. Maly believe that the quota of the city has already been filled. but the patriotism of our citizens should cause them to continue their efforts to encourage enlistments. The more men furnished to the Government, the sooner the rebellion will be crushed. BunnLAar.Before Alderman Beitler, yes terday afternoon, Wm. Green, colored, was charged with being concerned in the robberyof the houses of Mrs. Matilda Winters and John Flood. Some of the stolen property found in his possession were identified by Mrs. Winters and Mr. Flood. About a week since, Green was charged with the robbery of the bout e of Rev. Wm. McElwee and in all three cases an entrance was effected by burn ing the wood around the door locks, which ap pears to have been a quiet and effectual mode of procedure. He was committed in default of 14,000 bail to answer the charge at Court. ARMY Cowrnacrs Awannien.—The following contracts were awarded yesterday : Goldttirop ft C o. .

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILWAY An accident occurred on Saturday morning, at Richard' a Switch, ten Miles from Baltimore, on the Northern Central Railway, which resulted in. the almost entire destruction of a locomotive and train ol ears, and injury to several persons. The express train North left that city at twenty minutes before ten o'clock, the regular train, with nine cars, including the baggage and Adams Express cars. It progressed very well and at a rapid rate of speed until it reached the point in question, when it collided with a gondola car laden wits railroad iron. A gravel train was on the road at the time, and that backed into the switch to get out of the "way . of the express train, and •in doing so pushed two gondola cars laden with railroad Iron, which had been standing on the switch, so far that the end of one of them projected over the main track. That was not observed by the engineer, and the tram dashed on until the collision took place. The iron laden car was knocked some fifteen or twenty feet from the track, and the cylinder and all the ma chinery on one side of the locomotive was torn otr. All the cars of the train were more or less 'broken, and a number of them entirely destroyed. William W.Ooleman, Adams's express agent, had his left arm caught in the wreck, and it was horribly crushed, up to a point midway between the elbow and shoulder. Dr. Ormsby S. Mahon, residing at No. 138 North Exeter street,BaltimOre, had the mall bone of one of his legs broken, and, Bernard Auchenbatigh, the baggage master, re ceived a severe contusion on the head. The mail car took fire, but it was extinguished before the mail Was damaged. The wreck was cleared from the track as soon as possible. The damage by the collision will probably reach ten thousand dollars. That train was the first that. Gelman had been on for three monthe,having jest recovered from an accident near Millersburg, when the train was - thrown from the track, and from which he narrowly escaped death.,On bath occasions he was acting as a substitute fo another' party. The President and nearly all of the Board. of Directors were on the train at the time.of the ac' cident. Iva awn SUPPE:NUM.—We condense from the Wheeling iniellsgencer the details of a rather sin gular affair which recently occurred in that City.. t appears that there has been for some time con— fined in the 14AI:olive - I= a certain George Dasky,'Sr.: guerilla and bushwhacker. 'By some means hate c ame:ac cin al ate d with Mrs. Mary brig elt. employed in a toot making establishment and reading in the city near the jail, with tier brettier.in-law, Sc Gaffer. She had been permitted to visit Dusky occasionally, but was detected, a few days since, - slipping some contralluid articles into his cell, and was forbidden to retdrn. Last Wednesday night= the jailer fancying That he beard a suspicious noise on the south side of the jail, lighted a candle and. walked around the building. As he neared lry' s cell window he saw a small parcel dmp and was about to pick it up, when a women jumped , from the wall on his back, declaring she would, sooner die than permit the jailer to capture the package. In jumping from the wall,which is per .- baps twelve or fifteen feet high, the WOMEN hair. broken her right leg just above the ankle, but she nevertheless struggled violently for the ptissessionc of the parcel. and during the struggle &small bottle containing nitric acid wes broken, and the contents. spilled upon the jailer and Mrs. Briggs, both of whom were stained and burned by the liquid. Mrs. Briggs at last mink to the ground in an ex hausted condition, when she was taken into the jail, where medical at tendance ' was called, and t her e she still lies in a suffering condition. The jailer upon examining the parcel found that. it contained a bottle ofcidoroform, a bottle of nitrim acid, a chisel, a box of steel pens and two lover letters from Mrs. Briggs, a copy of the Freeman's- Journai and a copy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.. Mrs. Briggs had the package attached to the end of a long pale and was endeavoring to put it into the cell occupied by Dusky, which she- would doubtless have succeeded in doing had net the sp.: pearance of the jailer startled her and caused her to drop the package.
