How the Soldiers are SwindEed.

We copy the following extract of letter TO
the Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican paper,
from visitor to Camp Scott, IN reference 70
the miserable clothing furnished in the name
OF the State to the troops now there:
In the Quartermaster's Department OF Cen
efal Wynkoop,s Brigade | was shown pile OF
pantaloons (eight-fve PAIR, J some OF which
bad been worn eight or ten days, others three
or four, some one day, and some only two
hours, and others, still, which had only been
tried on, and yet there was not a single one
OF all these pants that was not wholly worth
ess. In a word, the material UaS so rotten
that the slightest tension would tear it. Gem
eral Wynkoop informed the writer he expected
at least four hundred to be condemned. I procu-
red pair OF these pantslo0ns, which will reach
me by eXrpess to-day, and which | shall take
pleasure in submitting to the inspection of any
parties who may teei disposed to doubt this
statement. General WynkooP, as we'll as sew
eral other prominent officers, assured me that
many of the soldiers were compelled to wear
their oyercoats alith time TO hide the rents IN
their pantaloons.
| was next shown sample OF the shoes, and
was permitted to bring one OF them with Ee.
This shoe has been worn ttUO days, and vet 1t
is as guiltleSs of sole as the man, IF man he
may be called who made it. | also brought
sample OF the In-sole of these shoes, which,
for the credit ofthe manufacturer, am happy
TO state is made OF real good pine Shauings.-
He was determined to keep up his reputation
in this particular at all events. Several Of
the officers assured me that the heels would
frequently fall off in one hour from the time
they were first put on the mems feet. Some
OF the men would moi wear them at all, but
sold them for twenty-five cents pair, and
then bought good ones from the shoe merchants
of York.
Attention was next directed TO the blankets.
Il is desecration of the name 10 cali the dirty
looking dimsy things shown as blankets. The
worst punishment could desire for the con-
tractor who furnished them, would be to COM
peil him to sleep under twenty OF them with
the thermometer at zero. He would freeze 10
death in an hour. The texture is of the coar-
sest kind, and the material of the commonest
character. In stiff breeze the wind would
pass through them almost as freely as through
tishing.net.

PICKINGS AND STEALINGS.

The reasons gwen by the Democratic Sena-
tors for refusing TO vote for the $500,000 ap-
preparation 10 arm the State are beginning to be
realized in their full force. Up to this time no
money has been expended for arms, and yet we
venture 10 saw, that il all the bills contracted in
the army movements and the equipments puF-
chased were paid to-day, there would be very
small balance OF the appropriation on hand.
Within day or two, revelations of an as
founding nature have been made, which go to
show that unPrincipled men are turning the
whole affair into grand speculation, and
Legislative investigation Is freely talked of.
Ws are told that The contractors who are now
engaged at the GIrard House IN Philadelphia,
IN getting up clothing for the army, have turn
ed the whole operation into grand speculation
and are making nice thing OF it. 1t is said
that they charge the State for each military
coat made $2.25, while they pay the women
who do the work only 70 cents. Hundreds of
women who are wealthy have volunteered to
make up these garments without pay, and yet
for every one that is turned in somebody receives
two dollars and twenty-five cents. The same
may be said of everything else, even to the man
ufaCture OF shirts. Material is purchased at
certain price, and bills, with certain percent
age added, are rendered, which percentage i
of course fobbed by somebody .-Harrisburg

IN LOVE WITH CALICO,

{" Calico dresses are grand institution De-
lanes, silks, and even satins are good enough in
their place-In the parlor or bandit box, and all
such but afler all the old stand by,' the sub
stantal, is the shilling calico. Care must be
taken not to soil the silk, nothing must come 10
contact with the nice dress that will rumble
and stain II; but the calico, that's made for
work, and, as the 'hlghialutins' say tnobly does
it fulfill its mission Silk rarely finds its way
into the realities OF life; that is into the kitchen
at home, or into the hut of the suffering abroad.
'Calico seems TO be always more willing
and ready 10 give want than silk. 1t is a cur
rious fact OF our nature, that the nicer our dress
the harder our heart is, as If when dressed
in silk we changed our natures ard rose above
base worldly things. What our silk dress be
seen near enough tc that poor woman to give

No, never! Calico might do it silk, its Just
impossible.
But when in addition TO all Calico comes
in, rosy with the exercise of kitchen duties

dearly, and sits down at the piano or melodeon,
and makes the liquid melody flow sweetly
forth; aye, even blending lis own sweet voice
with the music of the instrument, ithen we ap-

Gibbet the Contemplate Thieves.

We copy the following article from the
Pittsburg Chronicle, Republican paper:
We are not without reports from Washing
ton and otner points nearer home, that contrac-
tors, commiSsariats, &C., are basely attempting
TO speculate on our soldiers necessities There
are many men SO lost to honor, conscience and
patriotism that they would poison a whole
army if they could fill thelrIown pockets, and
these hungry leeches are now beginning to
appear. They should be held up to public
Scorn, and swept out of decent society by the
whitening Indignation of the whole people.
Hunt down the traitors and give them DO quar-
ter. No matter what the social station or po-
itical rank of the offenders, they should be-
taught that the hour OF their country's extreme
peril is no time TO gamble with the health
and comfort and even lives of their brave and
sacrificing defenders. The contractors for SUD-
plying al mics with provisions and clothing
have always peen pest to the service. Wash
ington and Jackson were more perplexed, dis
heartened and exasPerated, by the thieylng pro-
pensitIes OF contractors, than by the operations
OF hostile forces The flower of the English
army perIshed in the Crimea through the neg
lgence of contra ctors the incapacity of officers
and HE nadequacy OF the system-known as
''red tapeism''-ot providing for troops It
was to have been expected that the contractors
would hav We rich harvest IN the hurry and
confusion of organizing the volunteer army
for the support of the Government. This ex-
pectation has not been disappointed. There
has been extensive swindlng. We are now
through the worst OF the preliminaries. Hence
forth there will be time and opportunity to
look sharply after the thieves. Let them be
hunted down, exposed and punished. Keep
close watch on the appropriations and see shat
no legislative or political thief will dare extort
money from the necessities OF his country, st
any rate without meeting, as he richly merits,
the scorn and contempt of whole nation.

The contractor, who furnished the overcoats,
must be fancy man. HIS tastes are not unlike
those OF Jacob of old, who gave his son Joseph
ga coat OF many colors." In some cases, these
coats contained cloth o: three or four different
shades Of color.
Now, Messrs. Editors, is it not painful to
think that such things are permitted, and is 1t not
scandalous that no steps have been taken to
correct this crying evil Appointment Official
Of this State, just from Washington, says the
meanness OF the equipents OF the Pennsylvania
troops there, has earned for them the unenvis-
bic sobriquet of the 'fdirty shirt boys"
Is this not humiliatng TO our State pride
First in the field, the most liberal OF all the
States with men and money, it is deplorable
fact that our State authorities designedy or
innocently, have fallen into the hands Of rapa-
cious contractors, who are paid enormous sums
for clothing, which is so inferior to that furnish
ed the soldery of other States, that our men
are made 5y-word when they put It on.

JEFFERSON.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Republican.)
THE GREAT OUTRAGE OF THE DAY.

Nothing short OF judicial investigation will
aPpeaSe the righteous Indignation of the people
against the parties engaged in defrauding the
State, and plunderlng the soldiers by imposing
upon then the most worthless supplies. This
is due alike to the brave men who have gone
out to fight our battles, to the honest merchants
who have been compromised, TO the people OF
the Commonwealth, aud to the United States,
as the General Cove rnment will be called up
on ultimately TO foot some OF the bills.
No man OF ordinary intelligence, who makes
a critical examination of Governor CURTIN's
exhibit OF the disbursement of the military fund
OF the State, can fail 10 detec: on almost every
page such evidences Of jobbery and malfeasance
as lawyers are accustomed to style Hbadges of
fraud" The prices are exorbitant some bills
are SO made out as to conceal instead of 10 ex-
hioIt the particulars of the purchase petty bills
are ceTtIhed and sworn TO with great formalIty,
while large ones are hurried through theI ac-
counting offices, and paid upon :he bare certif-
cate OF irresponsible and inexpert agents mid
Hemen are resorted to, and a large proportion
OF the supplies OF clothing would disgrace the
common JaIiS OF the country as clothing for iel-
ons. We merely recapituate these points here,
as they have been already referred 10 at length.
The parties ho seem to have surrounded the
military fund of the State IN close column, will!
remind naturalist of a gigantic mollusc with
unbounded stomach for absorption, and with
tentacua extended in all directions, and rapid
ly revolving in search ofprey. The disclosure
would be humiliating at ary time but when
we reflect that all this extortlon, imposition and
abuse have been practlsed not only upon the
State, bu! upon the gallant men who have left
their workshops, their business, their families
and their homes, to fight the battles of the u
MON, ii is calculated to excite, as it has excited
a feeling of intense Indignation and disgust.
Among the many inquiries that have been
sent to this office on the subject, is one which
asks whether the soldier is really victlmized, as
we'll as the State. We answer yes Upon
him the imposition, or plumber, or whatever it
may be justly called, is direct. His clothing is,
part of his pay. For each year OF
service he rs allowed specified nun Der of gar
ments and if these, whether from i'll usage or

Thus, be IS entitled in his first year to two carl

ted, and bis body left in rags From this, the
dulleSt mind can perceive how emphaticalIy
true IS the statement, that this wretched busi-
ness is direct plunder of the soldier.
We repeat that the manner in which these
supplies have been furnished, their quality
and price, and the extraordinary agencies which
have been brought into requisition, must be iu-
dlcially examined. The meeting of the Leg
lslature is too far off, and besides that BODY is

There IS business here for grand iuries and dis
trict attorneys not alone of the State 5ut of the
United States, for Governor CURTIN informs
the Legislature that f'the accounts of the Com
mISsary and. .Quarermaser's Department of this
State will be mainly reimbursed by the United

The New York 5th.

The New York 69th, is said to have in it
but ten men that voted for Lincoln il it be
"treason" to say that such men volunteer to
uphold the Union and the Flag, in the ratio of
four TO one Republican, make the most of IT.,
Mr Tribune-for such treason we shall repeat
and repeat at will, as facts justify US because
it demonstrates that when Union Wings and
Democrats proclaimed,
"THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
Laws" they were ready TO die, even, to up
hold their Proclamation, and were" Union
Savers" in earnest.
Far be il from US, though,-even with such
great facts before us TO maintain our assertion,
that though so per cent. OF the men in the
army are opposed to Lincoln,--tO say all Re-
ppbIcanism is without patriotism. We give
the Tribune the Iul benefit of its statement, that
St. Lawrence, Monroe, Jefferson, Onondaga,
Oneida; and other strongly Republican counties,
have contributed largely TO swell the ranks Of
volunteers and, though their men are mainly in
camp at Elmlra and elsewhere, that is not their
fault.
The ratio OF Demo Gratis, we hear, however,
is large, very large, even in these counties.
The interior Regiments that have passed
through here, such as Col. Pratt's, were three
Democrats to one Republican.

A SCREW LOOSE In THE COMMISSA-
RIAT.

The session in the House of Representatives
on Friday was prolonged until late hour in
the afternoon, debating resolution OF inudiry
offered by Mr.. Williams. 1t IS alleged that the
appropriation of $500, 600, made BY the Lpgis-
Iatore to arm and equip the military and place
the State on war footing, has been expended
every dollar OF t-and il is but right that
those who voted for the appropriation, as we'll
as Tue taxpayers, should know what has be-
come OF the money. Not having been present
during the debate we are unable to say how far

lngly warm, and strong inslnuatIons were made
that money had been used for purposes not con-
templated by the act, and that the State was

there is some foundation for these runoIs may
be inferred from the following received from
Camp Curtin

blankets for the volunteers give the cause of

The Legislature has ordered an investigation
and we hope they will find out the actual price
OF half Macklnaw or Indian blanket.
At time like this, when the patriotic peo-
pie OF Pennsylvania are ready to pou. out their
blood and treasure like water to support the
Government, it will not do to trfe with them.
The tax payers Of Pennsylvania we believe are
willing to be taxed TO the last cent 10 prove 10
the world that Republican Government is not
failure, but they will not cooIIy submit to
men enrichIng themselves by their patriotism.
We hope that all through whose hands any Of
