CORRESPONDENCE.

Washington, Dec. SOth.
treat sensation was excited yesterday in the
House OF Representatives by the Vice Presidents
communication, requesting an inquiry in relation

Pa'ed IN the profits OF certain contracts while Sc.
cretary of War
Inc wee President is strong and bold in inno-
cence, and no doubt can be entertned of his tyi-
umphant refutation of these cslumnies. Genesal
Floyd, who in the day of Mr. Calhoun's admins
iration, was constant and fearless opponent OF
his bold and Gas many republicans then thought
and still think) 90 pro:use pl ms and expenditures
was now The first 10 pay willing tribute 10 tho
Ice Presldeni's integrity and honor.
Another subject of no small interest and imporr
tance was also introduced in the House on Friday
mean MIR. Rves's resolution for disseminating the
annual appropriation heretofore made for surveys
OF roads and canals, az the discretion Of the Execu
uve' and substituting therefor distinct and specific
appropriations for surveying such routes only as
ShdH De authorized by Congress.
MS annual appropriation, thus broadly LEFT to
Executive discretion, has hitherto been great in
s'rument OF power, patronage, and electioneering.
ana may become much more 1t enables the
Executive TO feed the hcpes and c, aim the gra,i-,
tude and support OF any portion of the country
where any project of road or canal is popular,
or where any private interest may be served by
the prospect OF future public expenditures. Fifty
thousand dollars sFent in this way may 90 as far in
gaining influence, by thus exciting hopes (proba-
bic never 10 be reaiized) as million fairly spent
on single object. Whatever influence is thus
gained is at the expense Of the States; and what is
the worst, this does so to augmen, the strength
OF the General Government itself, but merely to
increase the personal power Of the Executive branch
of IT,
You well know that am no lover of long and
useless speeches. There indeed few things
nauseate more than what is called very fna
sPeechi onae" about the matter, and about it,'s
stuffed with political common places and rhetorical
fourishes, and thread bare quotations, in Sc linked
sweetness long drawn out" Our Congress has
something too much of this, and it is therefore al
ways refreshing and delightful 10 me TO hear such
speech as tia; In which Mr.. Riyes supported his
motion. Ii was b:ef and condensed but clear and
elegant; toIcible in argument, simple and unassum-
Ing, but impressive in manner, and very sound In
its republican doctrines.
Nr. Hives is the representative of the district Of
Virginia where Mr.. Jefferson lived, and where tina
University is situated; and the district should be
proud OF It's representative. Unfortunately his
health 10 feeble, circumstance 10 be regretted not
only by his friends, but by all who think that these
are times when republican principles need the &C,

Or town was again alarmed with the cry OF
g rare" about two O'Clock on Saturday morning
last. 1t originated in house belonging to John
McCle!land, Esq. occupied by MIR. Wm. Kincma
and MIR. VIM. Mccoy Tailor Shops. The lire
had made such progress before the hands in the
other shop awoke, tina, hey had barely time TO es-
cape with part OF their clo'hes they had wor.l
tie day before. The tenement, (also owned by
Mr.. McCielland,) occupied by Or. Leyburn ss a
shop, also consumed, and with great difficulty
the house of Mr.. 1homas M. Wade was savet.
The loss of Mr.. Kincaid and Mccoy is to them
severe. MIR. McCoy. who had recently established
himself here, bas lost his oil the loss to Mr.
McClellaDd is also considerable. We are hapny
TO safe, that Or. Lsyburn sustained little q no
loss, as his furniture, medicine, SC. were removed
before his shop iook fire. j, is not known whether.
the ire originated by accident, through The.
cuipable carelessness OF a hand in Mr.. Eincaid's
shop. II appears tina; in his end of the house n
fist broke out. Proyidentally, the roofs OF the
houses all covered with snow; there was bun
little wind, aud it's current in direction The most.

"THE TRIUMPH OF 'IHE PASSIONS
OVER MENIORY"

We noticed few days ago very curious
departure from fact in the letter Of General Jack
son TO Mr. Swsrtwoul, which we could attrb-
ute only to the course assigned in our motto
not willing TO believe that the General would
be guilty of wilful disregard to truth, especi-
ally since we have been so emphstically warned
that no man dare question his statements. The
same cause must have operated most powerful
ly, when the General wrote the letter to his
friend in BALTIMORE, to explain the shooting of

arrested, joined me, and ,Oere forgiven; uere with
me mhen marched TO Pensacola IN 1874; followed
me thence 10 NtW Orleans, where they regained
their former good character by their vaorous
and soldierly conduct, and ,sere honora6iy dis
charged"
In the official enumeration OF the Generals
force on the 18th November, before taking Pen
sacola, no part Of Col. Pipkin's command is
mentioned. In Col. Pipkin's own statement,
there is no mention Of his, or any of his men,
going 10 Pensacola-On The contrary, he states
that he garrisoned the posts in the Creek ma
ton, and mentions only his services there. So
much for their going 10 Pensacola. The bat
tie Of New Orleans-as our memory noU SerUes
us-was fought on The 9Th Of January, nearly
three weeks after the expiration of sir months
term Of service. Colonel Pipkin; speaking Of
these very men, and Of this very transaction,
says that his regiment returned TO Tennessee
on the LIST or 22d of December, and as soon
as they arrived, "were discharged" So much
for their regaimng their character at New Or
leans. Besides, the sentence of hall shaumg, Sec.
was ordered TO be executed; and the order was dat
ed the 22d January, 1915, just two weeks after
the battle. If these men had been with him at
New Orleans, if they had there "regained their
former good character" could the General have
ordered the sentence which condemned them to
su II an ignominious punishment, 10 be carried
into execution. 1t is plain, then, that they were
not with him, or that the official record is false.
