MOORHEAD Our representative in Congress, in his neat little epistle, the other day, to our venerable and venerated fellow citizen, Thomas Bakewell, Esq., intimating his willingness to serve two more years in Congress, said: "I, therefore, deem it . proper (whilst thanking you and other friends for their expressions of confidence,) to say that, if you believe the experience I have gained in Congress may be advantageously used in this important crisis for the public good, my name is at your oommand. Respectfully yours, J. K. MOORHEAD. Inasmuch as the General had never, up until the publication of this note, given the people any evidence of the " experi ence" alluded to, we were at a loss to un derstand what he, in the above, intended to convey. But, being always friendly to him, we were willing to await further de velopments. The recent discussion of the report on Government contracts ; the General's vindication of Cameron's and. Cummings' operations, and his avowal that he advocated Cameron's appoint ment to the Cabinet, was proud of it even now, and thought it the best that could be made for Pennsylvania, rendered his al lusion to " experience" quite plain and simple: We conclude, therefore, in the language of the General himself, by say ing that the " experience" he has acquir ed in Congress may be advantageously used, but whether for "public." or private "good." we consider a nice point for the judges, requiring a mighty deal of nice consideration. We trust, however, that the General may encounter no opposition for a re-nomination for Congress; we think him the best representative of genu ine Abolitionism from Pennsylvania. frair. The light among the honest Re publicans in Congress, and those defend ing the operations of the contractors, is growing more savage every day. It is well for the Democrats to stand hack 'Ad see fair play; because if one of them were to interfere he would be choked oft hy the ,cry of "sympathy with traitors." Valland ingham, the other day, made allusion to a little leak in the War Department. under Cameron, through which three millions slipped out,,. and he was immediately si lenced•by the cry of "Breckin ridge Demo crat." He was at once intimidated by overwhelming numbers, but has since handsomely retrieved himself by denomi nating Ben Wade "a liar, scoundrel and coward.''

House, and holding the parientringsif the nation, recently rose in.the Houseand- at tacked the committee in their absence, charging that - they had committed. mere fiends than they had detected. The com mittee had been notified that, they should feel the biting sarcasm and blistering invec tives, and to-day they bad listened to what might be called a pitifid imitation from the extraordinary member (Mr. Conkling) from New 'York, who bad attacked the committee for the benefit of contractors, thieves and plunderers . , who had for two weeks been holding high carnival in the anticipation that the committee were to be destroyed. It would have been but fair to give the committee notice of the contem plated annlluldise, that they Might be prepared to dii with decency. Why did not the member from New Y - ork make his charges like a min and not like admitting coward ? The:member undertook to criti cise the expenses of the committee, which he had figured up, and sneaked into the clerk's office to ask how much the - menr, tiers had been paid. If the member bad known anything he must have known that his statement was false. - There was no committee ever mimed in invalidations, and traveling abro4 but what had - been paid their proper expenses. The com mittee had neglected everything to dis charge the resonsible 'trust reposed in them by the H ouse. Now a' clamor was raised to disband the committee. If the . House believed tht charges made are true, it would be unjust to. Itself and: te the country it it did not disband commit tee before its adjournment•for a day, and place on the brow of themembers thereof the brand of dishonor. 'lf the committee : had failed to disc hrav their dity, and are obnoxious to the &urn made, he (Mr. Washbarne) called on the House not to postpone their action, but to disband this committee at once. The committee and the country would accept it as &tribute to its faithful performance of its which had led to the attack s by the member from New York, and by every plunderer, thie4 and robber who had broken into the Treas ury. While the committee were engaged in their examination, he found, by an of._ ficial document, the member from New' York beseiged the door - of thiiSecretati of War to get contract' for his constitu ents. Truly, the member was a pretty man to come here and lecture the commit tee as to what the committee had done. In further reply, he said the history of the Department will show that in St. Louis alone nearly two millions of dollars had been saved by the investigation of, the com mittee. He had been told by Mr. Holt that if Congress and the Government sus tain him nearly eight millions more would be saved by the commission on ordnance and contracts now in session here, which was appointed on the evidence taken and the recommendation of this committee. Twelve millions of dollars had been saved by the committee, ores much ash cost John Quincy Adams to carry on the Govern ' meat for one year. Notwithstanding these things, the commission were held up here as wasting the public money. He repeated that the committee knew they would be met. They knew whose paths they , bad crossed. They knew who were the alders and abettors of the plunderers in and out of this House. They did not like the com mittee ; of course not, for "No rogue Olt felt the halter d raw With good opinion of the law." What the Censaatttee haveDeae.

He said that one General, who lately made an order returning fugitives, was a native of Massachusetts, and he [Mr. Sherman] bad used his influence to get him appointed. If he bad known that General - .Hooker would have made such an order, he would never have tried to secure his appointment. When a General falls in battle, some hon -lor mingles with the feeling of regret, but when a General falls as General Hooker' has fallen, there is nothing 'but .regret. to be felt. He referred to the order of Gen eral Doubleday as a contrast, in which he did honor to his country. He also refer red to the course of General McCook in the West, and the Provost Marshal of Louisville, as a disgrace to the army . He read an account of the oppression to which the blacks at Louisville had to sub mit. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, asked where he got that account. Mr. Sumner replied from a newspaper in New York. Mr. Davis said there was no doubt of its, falsity. Mr. Wilson said he had. abundant evi dence of the disgraceful treatment of fugi tive slaves by portions of the army. The morning hour having expired the confiscation bill was taken up. - Mr. Wilson, of Mass., offeredan amend ment to the sixth section of Mr. Collanier's substitute authorizing the President to make a proclariation and free the slaves of those who continue in rebellion foe thirty days after the time of its issue. Mr. Morrill said some of the bills, like those of the Senator from New - York and I Ohio, are bills meant to effect something and to touch the rebellion, and are produc 7 ed by men who mean to crush rebellion.- The other bills are a class not intended tir affect anything and are produced by men who do not mean to do anything. The bill before the Senate was calculated to strike directly at the rebellion. Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, disclaimed any fear to act on the subject, but had voted to refer the subject to a select committee because lie thought it might simplify mat ters. He did not believe that the passage of this bill would especially inflame the rebels or strengthen .the friends of. the Government. He was in favor of some confiscation act, but he could not say that he favored this Act, for he had not had time to examine it. Mr. Davis asked to have an amendment read to the effect that the title to all prop erty forfeited under the act shall rest in the persons or heirs of those who entered the service of the United' States during the rebellion, and have been killed or dis abled and in the union men whose proper. ty has been seized and confiscated by tbe rebels. He said there woresnany Senators whose chief objeckwas loilmarmslavery no matter what else WaSaIaIIIII. He con , tvnded at some length that the true policy of confiscation was to devoteihe property ac cordingtohisproposetiamendirient: He denied that slavery motile vaaseof the war. He contended at some length that in fact the Free States were responsible for the war : of 1862, the war with Mexico, and the fepeal of the Missouri Compromise. If the Free States haduot brought slavery . ] into Congress we should not have had the ,present trouble. He referred to the pledges of t=ublican party, - and said ' tluit if they this bill they wouldar-' ray the . Whoi e Southern people against the law. He was willing that slavery shoeld takdits chances of war, and willing that slaves should be confiscated like other preperty; but if the Senate intend tomake war upon slavery, then; there will tildrbe another war. begun.. The people - of :New England had developed the mind - 10: . a great extent, but they were en' smart and conceited as to thinkthat they can manage everybody's business, and therefore they were meddlers, and continually poking their noses into other people's buckets of swill.
