CLAIIIIirI a irt ItemiAsa:done as usuaL PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 22, 1862. To the Editor of the Nor York Times: Your paper of August 9th contains ex tracts from the report of the Contract Cotn mittee, with comments reflecting on my character as an officer, and upon the War Department generally. Believing that no injustice was intended-eat least by you— I take the libery of submitting a few firms, some of which were in the possession off that committee. On the 18th of April, 1861, I was call ed into the office of Gov. Curtin, at Har risburg, to assist the movement of the troops froth all parts of the State to the camps at the capital of Pennsylvania, which troops were there to be organized and equipped; and forwarded thence to the national capital, then supposed to be in imminent danger. I devoted my whole time and energies to effect the re sults desired, without regard to the price paid to the company of which I happen ed to be an officer. All the facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were tendered to and made use of by the State and General Governments, and to this day I have never been a party to any contract for transportation over the works of the company to which I was attached as its Vice President. All arrangements for transportation were made by the reg ular officers of the Quartermaster's Depart ment. General Cameron—then Secreta ry of War—sent three messengers to Harrisburg, urging me to proceed inime diately to Washington, without stating the object. After some delay consequent upon the duties 1 was then performing for Gov. Curtin, I left for Washington city, in com pany with General Fitz John Porter and General Andrew Porter, by way of Claim- bersburg and Hagerstown, and thence by private conveyance. On arriving at Wash ington, I reported to the Secretary of War, who assigned to me the duty of organizing some means of transportation, via Annapolis, by whcih troops could be • conveyed from the North to Washington city. In a few days, with the aid of Mr. Felton, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Com pany, along with such men, material and rolling stock as we were able to bring from his road, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and the Penns,dvania Railroad, we were able to form a daily litre between the North and the national capital, by which troops and supplies— then so much needed—could be promptly transported. • After this was accomplished I telegra! h ell Mr. Smith. Superintend, at of the I' al timore and Ohio Railroad Compauy, urg ing hint to furnish the Government a supply of rolling stock for all. its wants from their sidings at Baltimore—which WPS then filled with curs and engines—the Government meanwhile being obliged to bring both engines and cars from Penn sylvania to Annapolis by Chesapeake It iy. Mr. Smith replied that he cold not teL in the matter without referring it to his Huard of I )irectors, which he did that EMIR', evening. and the day following I was no tified that the Government could have all tho rolling stock which was needed from time to time. Under this arrangement I telegraphed Mr. Felton to stop the ship ment to Annapolis of engines and cars, and to return those on board vessels al ready in the harbor at Annapuiis, which was dune. I make the foregoing statement for the purpose of letting you understand that my official position at Washington w a s no t o f my own seeking, nor was it for the pur• pose of being a party, directly or indirect ly, to benefit the road I was connected' with, or any other road or roads in the country. I was not appointed Superin tendent of Railroad Transportation, bat simply as Manager of Government Rail roads, or such lines us the Government I found it necessary to take direct charge I of, and upon which no rates of transpor tation weie ever fixed or charged to the Government, as the latter simply paid the employees for their services and for tho supplies necessary to operate the roads. All the transportation of the Government troops and supplies was and is now in charge cd the Quartermaster's Depart ,. ment, and 1 have never contracted for the shipment of a regiment or of a cat-load of Government property over the Pennsylva nia Railroad or over any other line of railway in the United States. While I was acting as Manager of Roads operated by the Government, bills for transporting troops and equipments of three months' volunteers were being sent in by the various railroad companies of the country to the Quartermaster's Depart. meat for adjustment, embracing all rate s from two cents to four cents per mile for )soldiers and for freight; in many cases double first-class rates for munitions of war and supplies forwarded with troops by passenger trains. One of the officers of the Quartermaster's Department applied to me for some schedule of rates that ' would serve as a guide to prevent over charges in the adjustment of the numer ous accounts being presented. I therefore prepared a schedule for that purpose, I which was intended only as a maximum rate that might be allowed for the collec- I tion of volunteers and their supplies in the several States, and for the transportation Ito the city of Washington,wjten lower rates could not be or were not obtained by offi -1 cers of the Quartermaster's Department; and by gnat schedule no compitny was per !flitted to charge more than two cents per mile for passengers, nor beyond first-class rates for property- moved in passenger trains, though individuals did pay three cents a mile for travel, and double first class rates for freights moved on passen ger trains. It was not. intended to inter fere in any manner with the joint rates of transportation over the several lines of the country, and I was much surprised in I I the month of October to find that the schedule prepared by me as a guide had been made into the form of a general or- I der by the Quartermaster's Department, and was still more surprised to learn that any Quartermaster in the service should I feel himself bound to pay those rates, or any others, when better terms could be se cured by him for transportation of Govern- . , meat property under his charge. I may here state that the Governor of Pennsylvania, and I believe the Governor of Ohio also, called a Convention of the railway officers:of their respective States, and after a full discussion of the subject, two cetits per mile was fixed upon as a fair and reasonable price for the tranpor tation of troops, with an abatement of 33 pet' cent.:from the usual rates paid then and :paid now by the business public on nearly all the railway lines in America.— The broad statement made in the Sunday Heralds few weeks-since, that I ordered 'pita by which the Government paid 33 per cent. more than individuals paid. and that theineeipts of the made ef which . I am . , an • officer, dime, those sate. holm the Government, beenAmorearedo per out. jo s gioso error, co the po(t of. (.':ssi:iiercs, Test lags, 5t5,31-1 of 43.)0ds myl -1 yd DAILY POST. GOVERNMENT AND THE RAILROADS Important Letter from Col. Thos. A. Scott, Ex-Assistant Secretary of War. the writer. By a careful examination of the:hooka of this company, from the com mencemeut of the rebellion to the present date. I find that our total receipts from the Government of the United. States do not reach per cent. of our greet' receipts, or about one tenth of the ammint alleged. Our receipts have been greeitly . increased by the closing of the Mississippi river and by the demand upon the sea-hoard for pro ducts of the West for consumption and' for export, all of which has resulted in giving to ail the transportation lines of the ! country a largely increased trade and ad vanced rates, in which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has shared in common with other routes, and I ant sure that rail way managers and practical business men of the country will do me the justice to say that the rates fixed from time to time 1 for the general business have not been m any way affected or infineneed by the maximuni schedille, furnished by me as al guide to the Quartermaster's Depart meet for adjustment of accounts. I was not Assiqant Secretary of War at the date of that schedule, and had no power to issue' an order, even if so d SpOit.A.All,l which I c i .ly nt ver thought of doing. The insinearau.; or ihe C. , ):11:1:taill, in re• gard to the intentions of the late Secee tary of War, us connected with the rail way transpentation, ,as I believe, with out the slightest fouadatioe in fact. He never did, directly, authorize or direct me to adopt any measure or give any order to promote the interest of the road between Harrisburg and Baltimore, nor do I be• lievethat hekn ew;anything of the detail at . . rangements of the Quartermaster's De partment. His whole time and attention were given to the performance of his more important dirties as a Cabinet Minis ter. with a devotion and integrity which, in due time, will be accorded to him.— The committee state that "There seems ti have b een a studied effort to destroy certain railroad competi tion, and ads'ance the interest of peenliar roads. Although the bridges of the Phi:. adelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, in cam man with thoee on the Northern. Centre!, were destroyed by the insurgents, those of the latter were tern pot Lally rebuilt by the AIL Departmentet an expense of $14,01.:0; and although the other road was certainly the first reopen ed to Baltimore, as appears from the tes timony of Mr. etton, yet troops were actually shipped from Philadelphia to Harrishug by the Pennsylvania Central, and front thence by the Northern Central to Baltimore, neariy doubling the dis tance..' In reply to the above, I will state that seventeen tempoary bridges on the North ern Central Railway were constructed by the Government, at an expense of $1.1,- 100 but the Secretary of War refused to ;Wow the Northern Central Railway Com pany meal rates on Government business, and which, if a:lowed to a certain date, 1.,s in the case of Mr. Felzott's road,) the Northern Central Railway Company would have paiu the G0 . . - e..ninent amount expet.ded fur the speedy openi ng of th a t route, by which supplies from the West could reach th., national capital. .11r. return repaired the damage the tressel bridges on his read between Baltimore and Ifavre-de Grape, but the Government al ,wed and paid 1,•,.5l rates on their tratlic to a c, vain date cent d aitnion; and the ditfermices so allowed, I beli e v e so satisfactory to Mr. Felton. whose andal i patriotic r!Fortsi to scstaiu the Go - % eminent justly emitled him to any conces sions that coald lac reasonably extand.,d by the Depattment. In regaro to the shitant nt aftrooptfront ritit,,,h,phi tt to Rdtimoro via Harrisburg, the filets are as tAows: Lieutenant Gen eral Scott, Commander- iti•chiel, ordered the regiments of Col. Einstein and Col. Small to Ist l'lrtittriled. from Philadelphi a to Hagerstown by railroad, to reinforce the army on the Upper Pitomac. Col. Tnomas, them Quartermaster at "'idled:A pith., in aecordance with his insiruction, engaged transromhtion over the Pcnusvl vania and oil,. r railroads Lading tbcreto, which was all pr,c:ided at %Vest Philadel phit, for their prompt inorement. Cu!. Einstein's reg/Irli'llt was !Waded and start ?tl by Col. Thomas. lit the meantime Gen. Scott. fur reasons satisfactory cc hint, desired tliat these two re2iments Le sent to ‘Vashington. Col Small's regiment was under marching orders, but still at Wash ington Square in Philadelphia, and his route was changed to Mr. Felton's road. Col. Einstein's regiment was stopped at Harrisburg and sent thence to Bnoimore, as desired by the Commander in Chi e f.— The tarts, it t ti us stated, will siitLAY all unpiejudined minds that neither the Sec• rotary of War t:or myself made, as s t a t e d by the committee, "a special effort to ad vance the interest of peculiar roads." Before closiog this article, I must re vert to a singular fact in connection with the report of the committee, upon 'which they appear to have formed their conclu sions. It is that their evidenc e on trans portation subjects is for the most part de rived from officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the lending mem bers of which, in the darkest hour of peril I to our national capital, refitted, as un derstand, the use of their own line to Got.. Dennision, of Ohio, to train:port United States troops and munitions of war front the West to protect the capital, and sub sequently failed to transport Government forces from Baltimore to Washington; and again, that while complaint is made that I fixed a schedule of rates much below those Usually charged to the publi c , thi s Baltimore and Ohio Railaoad Company has demanded from the Goverement rates much in excess of those fixedas maximum charges; and has been allowed rates greater I than those granted to other companies of the North, whose loyalty lots never been doubted, and whose line and facilities have notonlynotbeen withheld from the Govern went for a single hour, from the breaking of this rebellion to the present moment, but have been freely tendered at all times to meet its wants. The committee indirectly endorse the loyalty of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road Company, of which I have nothing whatever to say; but the loyal people of Baltimore, assembled in mass meeting, a few weeks since, give by their resolution a rather singular contradiction to the con clusions of the committee. The resolution I refer to was adopted at mass meeting in Monument Square of the city of Bulti timore, July 28,th 1852. and is as follows: That the controlling authoritie4of the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad Company, and a large majority of their employees, now in the employment of the Government, are and have been notoriously, end some of them avowedly. disloyal." Daring my official connection with the Government .roads, and while_ .• b a d charge ofthe running of trains over the Washington branch of the Baltimota and Ohio Railroad, I endeavored to Manage their property as carefully as it wasposet ble to do, and the results ehcinld-mOtaise nosatisfactory to that company, as-not - a single accident of any kind occared by which their property was destroyed or damaged. When theyundertake to reflect upon officers doing their duty, it is titular the publio to:understand a few faotamila from time to **An.

Government, and several times declined the position of Assistant Secretary of War but was prevailed upon to accept it until some other person could be selected.— While an officer of the General Govern ment, I endeavored to perform the duties assigned me from time to time faithfulls and well, with the expectation that my efforts might at least •be fairly represented.
