This court, artml has been in session for some two i onths ; how bang it will re quire for it t l 4l get through its investiga tions, it is inissible to tell. It would be safe to say, hrever, that the expenses of such investigt4ions, exposing the opera tions of men4l:olding high places under the Admims !, tion, will amount to as much as woal support the government in times of econtmy and peace. But what is the use of cote' plaining about a few mil lions being S l iolen, and then a few more millions mor expended in detecting the thief. Like gessica, taking liberties with her father's ducats, McKinstry and his cotemporariesi think it no harm to bleed Uncle Sam 4 Jewess as she was, she robbed her fatlier with a "Christian grace" and McKins4, with tine regard for the sacredness oflan oath, properly objects to a witness testifying in his case, because of entertaining Skeptical notions about here• after. • The oous Major in this strongly reminds ns oclithat soft, spoken and sleek tongued Christian gentleman and contrac tor—Alexander Cummings. ' A MORE IWIGOROITS PROSE CUTE* OF TEE WAR. ! , I When the ]resident and his constitu tional adviser made up their ponderous minds to rerrii)ve McClellan, the reason given for the l lact was that he was too slow, and that they had all concluded upon a more vigorous prosecution of hos tilities. To show the country that there was to be no dallying, the Adminis tration commenced its new progr ! lmme with extraordinary vigor. It couldn't waits mometi: after its august mind was made up. `;Apparently impressed with the conviction that dancers retreat when boldly they ite confronted, the improve ment of the Aesent moment became im- cisely at elevo o'clock on a Saturday evening. Frlm this extraordinary haste, without a woi of preparation, we imag ined that the ;War Department had sud denly discoveqed some extraordinary cul pability or in4impetency upon the part of McClellan. Bait nothing of the kind ap peared. Thet'resident and his Secretary of State merely showed the white feather; they quailed before the bluster of the enemies of tlt young General, and like poltroons gavoip their settled convictions for fear of Abolition veligi - -ance. They consented to the humiliation of an (aur who had hut alfew weeks before saved the Capital from i:obel invasion, and the rea son they gave for consenting to this asses• sination was tdesire for a more vigorous prosecution ofkihe war I Well, McClellan has been pusho from his stool: for several weeks the artily , has been relieved of his tardy command; and what has been the result ?

The crime of giving a rebeilSpity a few hours to sur render, and the4aiting for several days, until the enemy Min force to confront our advance, would heave sent McClellan te the Bastile, amidlilhe jeers of the radicals throughout the land. But is this the fault of Gen. Barns:id - 4 No. He is a good' and faithful and gtilllant officer, but he, like McClellan, cannot; enact impossibilities.— The fault is with Elie Administration.

A. few weeks since we .pahlished chapter of the proceedings of a court martial in St. Louis, which hadj'for some time been engaged in investigating certain operations of a Major McKitistry, Quar termaster General of the Missouk Depart ment, under Gen. Fremont. In that pub lication, the reader will remember that, at the suggestion of the then Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, certain gentlemen of this State were taken into certain horse contiacts, which yielded them a handsome profit. Old Abe, too, it will be remem bered, recommended a lady acquaintance to the Quartermaster's attention, as beinc one entitled to his consideration.

In reply to a gnestion from the Court, Major McKinstry said he should have made the objection before the witness was .sworn, had be known his name was W it. ig. The Judge Advocate said the objection could be determined by asking the witness .his belief. [Court cleared and re-opened; and the following questions were then propound• ecl :] Q. God? A. Ido Do you believe in the existence of a Q. Do you believe that God will pun ish you in this world and the next, if, you wilfully swear falsely? A. I do. The Court directed the examination to roceed.

In the latter part of August, ltiti or the first of Septem',er ; cannot remem ber exactly. Q. Did you then observe the condition of the clothing of Colonel Bland's infint? A. I did. Q. Did you speak to Col. Bland about it. A. I asked Col. Bland why his men were so ragged and shoeless, or barefoot —1 don't remember the expression. Q. From whom did you obtain them A.

Did you make any exatninat ion o hem? A. I did; I had a sole of one of the shoes ripped open. L. What did you find to ih? its con dit ion ? A. After the sole was ripped open, I found about three-eighths of an ineh of wood, a sort of shingle, and not more than one-eighth of an inch under it. of leather, and only a thin akin over it inside the sole. Q. Did you show that shoe to 0. D. Filley, after the sole was opened? A. I did. Q. Did you • and be visit Maj. McKin stry in relation to it ? A.. Yes. Qt When you went to Maj. McKinstry, what was said and done about the slices by you or Mr. Filley and Major McKin stry? State in detail. A. When we went to Major McKin stry's office Mr. Miley inquired for Major McKinstry, and we were told that he was very busy. We waited a short time, and Mr. Filley, seeing Major McKinstry, stopped him - and told him ho would like to see him on public business. Major McKinstry came in and inquired what, it was. I then had the shoes under, my arm Mr. Filley then took the shoes and slit:ow ed ihe open sole to the Major, inquiring if that was the sort of material that was to be furnished to our men in the field: Major McKinstry then inquired where; we got those shoes. Before making the !inquiry, Major McKinstry made a few remarks which I don't remember. 1 told him I got them of Col. Bland, or Col. Blood, of Cdl. Bland's command. I, at the same time, remarked that all that was furnish- ed that regiment was about the same in quxtlity ; that the men were nearly naked. Then Mr. Filley inquired who had fur-' nished those shoes, and what had been ' paid for then]. The Major referrdd us to a clerk. Then we were told by the clerk that they had been furnished by Child, Pratt &Fox. Could not learn what had been paid for them. Before we went to the clerk Mr. Piney requested me to keep an 'eye on the shoe. Q. Did that interview take place in Major McKinstry's office? A. Yes. - - Q. Was Major McKinstry at his desk when the conversation occurred? A. No; he was standing in aside room when it commenced. Then we went to wqm, i supposed to be his office. Q. Did Major McKinstry lake - the shoes into his hands? A. He had them in his hands. . Q. Did he have them in his hands in the small room where the conversation began? A. Yes. Q. Did he have them in his hands when you and he went into his office room? A. I don't remember. I had forgotten the recommendation of Filley and lost sight of the shoe. Q. Were there other persons in the side room besides you and Major McKinstry and Mr. Filley? A. There were. Q. In whose hands were they when you last. saw them? A. As near as I remember, they 'were lying on a desk, where Major McKinstry had laid them down. Q. In 'which room were they lying on a desk? A. In the side room. Q. How long after going into the office room did you remain there? A. About half an hoar. Can't state exactly.. Why did you remain that length of A. We were waiting for the clerk to give us the information we wanted. Q. Did the clerk give you the informa tion? A.

Louis to pur• chase army supplies for ti ie Quartermas ter's Department at St. Louis for. a com mission on the amount Of their purcha sed? Major MeKinstry objected to the ques tion, on the ground that i!, seeks informa tion depending upon so Many conditions and ( ont ingencies of bnsiness events, that O an answer to it must necsarily be a mere matter of opinion. In effect, it is noth ing more than asking the witness' opinion upon several of the specifications which charge the accnsed with ;purchasing at a higher rate that he might have done by employing, some other insane; and the ac cused also submits that t e mode of pur chasing implied by this jfiestion is not known to the Army Re ulations, and is contrary to custom ir. the Qnartermaster's Departments —the Quer ermaster being the only purchasing age 4 recognized by law. The Judge Advocate rplied: A large proportion Of the speci i/1 cations charge the accused with violatio of duty, in au thorizing various porsont4 to furnish army supplies for his Itcpartmeut. and allowing them large profits on the supplies furnish ed by them. Evidence has been given tending to prove that the profit made by these persons ranged from 10 to 65 per cent. The accused, througholit his cross-. examination of the witnesses for the pros ecution, has endeavored lo elicit evidence of the great presture of lJusiness in his of fice, a tact which, if proi , en to the satis faction of the Court, is 41 no force, uu less u:sod as a iliStificatiim for his employ ment. oj outside persons Ito furnish sup. i ---11 e , lar t :e -9 e rice:li. i ts ofo on those e h o , s e u e p st u i r o c n ha i s s e : when competent men seould have been found who would hare done the work for a small commission.
