AS these bids exceed the entire S. 900 900.
the others will be thrown out, of course, and
| the $4,000 excess reduced pro rata from the
| accepted bids. The names of the successful
bidders are, therefore, those We have given
above.
Since writing the above we are advised of an
| error in tho published statement, and that the
| amount of bids under per cent, only reaches
| 1895, 900.
OPENING OF THE BIDs.-To-day, at noon pre-
| cicly, the work of opening tho bids for the
supply of materials, &C., for the Washington
| aqucduct recently advertised for, was com
menccd by Captain Moigs and his assistants AT
the aqueduct office on Capitol Hill. Some fifty
contractors were present, all eagerly interested
OF course, in the proceedings
So far rs tho tenor of the bids opened up tc
the hour at which We 60 to press, the greatest
| diversity Of judgment is manifest on the part
of the bidders, as to the value both of the ma.
toriaIs and workmanship required on the part
of the bidders
| 1t is questionable whether the mere opening
and registering of tho bids-perhaps one hun.
dred in all-can be completed to-day This
diversity will devolve on the chief engineer Of
| the work and his assistants much labor in
making the necessary calculations to doter
| mine who arc the lowest bidders, which car
| hardly be ascertained for some days to come
| The VOLUNTEER REGIMESTs-The Commit
tee Of Ways and Means have made out an csti
mate for the expense of the three new voluntee,
| regiments authorized to be raised, from which
we gather the following:
Total expense of organizing and SUSTAINING
for one year, three regiments of 1852 men
81, $50 547.34.
Of this, 3S2,6i7,2i is for the regular SUP
| plies from the Quartermaster's Department
and Incidental expenses of same; S2,O9i, 6S9 Q:
for transportation of supplies, mules, &c
| S34i,O for subsistence 81 ,O76,9}S pay to vol
unteers and officers and $l66, $50 So for arms
