John B. Floyd. OF We, seeretarY d
Val, nseEly Smpl1s3 Ssd--1SWo Evt-
Froa the New YOtk TrihaSe.


There can be nNsroom to dOnbt that Mr..
John Il. Floyd, Me-. Buchanan's Secretary
of WARTS party to some of the great
frauds and populations whose disclosure
is now astounding the country. We our
selves know of two Hcceptances signed by
Mr.. Floyd, as Secretary of War, in favor
of Russell, Majors'6 Weidell, the great
army contractors, one of whom was yes
terday arrested and taken to Washington.
OF these acceptances one is for three and
the Other for seven thousand dollars; and
both Of them are isSRed icithout authority,
that is to say, in violation of Mr.. Floyd's'
official outh. We say we know of two of
these acceptanceS; but il is certain that
they are circulating to an immense amount.
1t will be remembered that this same
Floyd began bis official career with the
famous Fort Smelling swindle, aud that
after the exposure of that speculation Mr..
Buchanan kept him in Office in defiance of
the public sentiment, simply because he
had not the courage to dismiss him.
These last great exploits form harmo-
NOUS and perfect completion of his career.
1t should also be well understood that
negreAt object of secession aud the move
ment for the destruction of the Govern
ment has been to hide these gigantic rob-
berries. The Administration of Mr. Buc-
hanan is rotten at every point, aud it is
highly probeble that thers is truth in the
report of another dcfalcatiou of from one
to two millions in the Treasury Deoart-
ment lately vacated by that eminent seces-
sion leader, the Hon. Howell Cobb. Hon
est Abe Lincoln will not take the reins of
power q moment too soon.

Eds. Mteltiyencer: On the evening of the
oath inst, about II miles east of the city
of Wheeling, ucar to the ll-daln, at Mr.
Gilmorc's mill, situate on The waters of
Little Wheeling, was found small paper
bOx, containing some l2 or II Walls Of
what is called silver polish. Upon the
under side of the cover was written 81 am

phis and my body will be found i'll this
mill pond" and signed Charles Blake.
There has been no search as yet made,
nor can there be with any prospect of find /.
ing the body, if one is there, from the fact
that the pond is very large and contains a
vast quantity of water, and which is at
this time covered with ice to such thick
mass as will prevent search to any extent
The affair might be taken as hoax, but
in all probability the facts in the case are
greater than fittion. j. a. 81.

The following is an extract from speech
recently made by Chancellor Darkin in the
South Carolina Convention, viz:
81 learn that Secretary Cobb las said
that the revenue Of South Carolina from
the custom house would not near pay the
expense of the custom house for the last
quarter. also learn from the best au-
th0rity that the post Offices of South Car
DINA cost the Government from thirty to
forty thousand dollars per quarter, and that
the receipts have been less than 500, 600
per annum"
Hence it seems that neither the custom
house nor the post Office in South Corolina
pay expenses. The post Offices of the whole
State yield less than $780, per unnum,
while the expenses are about $4,000 per
quarter, or Sl6O. 600 per annum. The '.uc
cursed Union" therefore, pays S1lO, 600
per "nnum, or thereabouts, for the postal
accommodation of the people Of South
Carolina more then it collects from them!
How much the "accurset Uni on" paws more
than it receives for keeping up South Cor
olina custonl-houscs, perhaps Sir. Cobb
could tell.
