Holt and Owen, Commissioners for the Government to in vestigate certain matters of expenditures and contracts, will prove an interesting statistical production, to those having a taste for that sort of literature. To'bc properly appreciated it should be read and considered in chapters. So far, the two gentlemen representing the govern ment have saved it some nineteen millions of dollars, by not allowing what some of our Generals and others contracted for. Before theso commissioners gel through it is impossible to estimate the vainn of the services they will have rendered the eountrv. But, notwithstanding the labor and research of theso commissioners, there are some operations which their scrutiny may expose but can not remedy. Their report in relation to -Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island, is a ease in point. Laws may now be passed making it criminal for members of Congress to receive compen sation for using their influence to secure contracts, but these meddling members must first bo detected before they can be punished.. Rat to the case of Senator Simmons, alluded to by the United Stares Commissioner.-. It appears that a Mr. Schnbarth. a gun manufacturer of Providence. Rhode Island, made application to Senator Sim mons. of that State, to enable l-im to nb tara a contract. He did so: fifty thousand guns were contracted for. for whirl, -; ena . tor Simmons chafed tlio !!„]«. of fifty.thousand dollars, rc'oeiv:.,-.‘, Pn • thousand on the spot.

In one case, as high aa two dollars per pi«tol is the d o?de?J® be ° n promised for Procuring The reader will reflect that this is but a single one of the thousands of contracts which, have been obtained through con gressional influence. Hero is a Senator has frothed as much as any other in tie Senate against every one who was not prepared to endorse the mad schemes in tended to indefinitely prolong hostilities, who, at a single turn, receives fifty thous and dollars for his senatorial influence in procuring a single contract. Is it any great wonder that such patriots, in Congress, are for a war of extermination ? Is it any wonder that such men favor every violent measure calculated to break down all Union feeling in the South, so that hostil ities may be indefinitely prolonged ? The reader will please remember, in this con nection, the report of the Congressional committee, some weeks since, upon the contract operations of the War Depart ment. i hat report represented that a hun dred millions had been squandered upon pet contractors, and that, no less than forty members of the House of Representatives were indirectly interested in that enor mous swindle. There may have been a greater number ;-but imagine forty shrewd fellows,, members of the two houses, re ceiving their proportion of the fabulous sums mentioned, and we can form some little idea of their blustering patriotism in advocating measures calculated to make the war a straggle of indefinite duration. These leeches now scoff at the idea of pur suing hostilities ibrthe simple prostration of rebellion, as thegovernment first intended; that can be too easily accomplished, and the war would consequently be too suddenly dosed. Contracts would then cease, and members of Congress would have -their i dividends and percentages materially cur tailed. There is scarcely one of thase | blustering conspirators wlio aro advoca ting measures calculated to indefinitely prolong hostilities, who hasn’t a moneyed interest in it, which they cover under the most blatant professions of patriotism.— Outside of Congress as wellvas in the fra ternity abounds. Ootbjfhshinglon for a day, and hear of the numerous snug little operationsthat Forney hasHistlmmb in That patriot is clerk of the Senate, and has a newspaper in Philadelnhin, which is I used as a common calumniator of e ery in the State who opposes the cor ruptions of its profligate proprietor. Simi lar cases of less importance nr- scattered throughout Pennsylvania. Kven here, in Pittsburgh, we have had the fl-puhlioan press consolidated, thef?a.?e//e and .Von.-Hiv?, and its chief proprietors arc now luxuria ting in lucrative sinecures. These gentle men, like Forney and Simmons, and the] numerous members of Congress alluded! to, are all for the extrimost measures cal-| culated to postpone the termination of the| war. .More than this, they denounce loy men who are struggling to curry or **nr community, on Saturday morning, wore suddenly startled by the nnlooked for reception of a telegram containing the above announcement. The particnlitn ol these calamities have not. yet Keen receiv ed, but it. is believed'in Philadelphia and Harrisburg that an engagement had taken place before the rebel capital, Richmond, in which McClellan's right was engaged, with which Colonel Black's regiment was stationed, if these reports are true, out gallnni townsman fell in this engagement. Ol Col. Black it-is scarcely necessary to sneak, in order to tell whom or what he «a.i. He v.ns known, admired and he loved hr our entire people; while his fame as an able lawyer, eloquent orator and a gallant soldier, was not confined to even the limits of his native Pennsylvania. We shall not, therefore, at present, dwell upon the particulars of his early history. Hit first great ellort as a lawyer was in the celebrated trial of the notorious mail rolj ber, Rrnddee, of Cniontown. in 1941.

Should it pass the Howe, then wo shall hare another grand absorbent of public lands; for, as far as the latter are vaLble on the line of any proposed road or it* branches, we may be assured that some sort of a railroad will be constructed It is understood at the Land Office that for a thousand miles or so across the con ment all the good lands in the neighbor hood of main trunk roads will ° by them. So also win like knd, S? rbed ly monopolized by the several brand ed the Pacific Ratlway which radiate frZT.I 100th parallel towards the Misfit er. It is true that alternate sections are nominally open to settlers, under S homestead act, but as allowance or in : demmty is made in good lands to rail roads, in lieu ot the waste, swamp or min erai (rocky?) lauds that fall within the : sections allotted to said roads, it may be P«n e d 7 Safe ,? assumed l| mt not much good lands on the routes aforesaid will be ob tamed under the provisions of the home stead act. Practically these settlers or em igrants must resort mainly to the railroad companies for valuable lands, and tW under the law, must be sold for a dolfw and a quarter an acre. But it is stAt»H «!
