rHE LATEST wAR VIEWS.

There was no important movement yes'eraay
on the part of the National troops "cn' NC
Douell is having q thorough reconnaissance lnau''
and that work ia not vet completed. oar troops
at Bulls Run occupy the grould toey heid III
the battle of Thursday, and are WITHIN a mie OIL
the Rebel iutreDchmeDts. Ii Is said that tue
anxiety of the Rebels about Bulls Run arises
from the fact that there is no water at Manas-
sas, the supply being brought from the Ruo, and
tLft if driven back at this point they would be
Obliged TO quit Manassas also.
Some important changes Of commanders have
been made. Gen. Banks takes Pattersou's place.
and Gen. Dix is ordered to Baltimore. 1t is
taid that Gen. Patterson had disregarded orders
TO mcve forward--an act entirely inexcnsable, II
true. But be is now said to be on the march
to Winchester Meanwhile it is pretty certain
that the Rebel force under Gen. johnston is
moving in all haste to join Gen. Beauregard at
Manassas; SO that Patterson will not be likely
TO have fight at Winchester
Movements of the enemy indicate that they
mean to make determined fight at Manassas.
Beside Johnston's Division, all the troops on the
Potomac have gone of, and Beauregard has,
doubtless, brought from Richmond Lynchburg
and other southern places, all the men he can
raise.
We have various reports from Missouri, but
no more battles have been fought. Gen. Lyon
is near Springfield with 5000 men, Ben.
McCullock aud Gov, Jackson have gone into
Arkansas, where they have established camps,
and are drilling force Of 1850 meu. Jackson

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

The resolution passed by the House of Repre-
senlatiyes Oh Wednesday, appointing Committee
to examine into the War Departments contracts,
cannot fail if faithfully carried out to result in
much good. Whether just or not there is a
very prevalent impression that more profit is
made BY those holding some of these contracts
than legitinately belongs to them. If that i'm
preston il correct, there is ueed of reform, and
ii wrong il should be done away with. Both
public good and private character require this,
and there should be no obstacle thrown ia the
way OF proper inquiry
The system of employing contractors. though
useful, and sometimes Indispensable is often an
impediment rather than help to the public
business. A ease in point has come to our
knowledge There is Mt this moment IN this city
n steamer, the ShantuDg, Just of the stocks,
built for the coastng trade in China. She is an
admirable vessel in every respect, built in the
most thorough manner, both in hull and ma
chinery, as a vessel must be 10 run where re-
pairs are impossible, except by sending to the
antpodes to supply a loss or damage. This ship
is peculiarly calculated by size, character, aud
a.
made, on the moment OF immense service. The
Government knows il, and wants her, and is will
ing to pay for her. The owners are willing,
though not desirons, TO part with her, and are
ready 10 sell her at price which VIII
simply remunerate them for building another like
her 10 answer their own purpose. But there
stand between those who shonld be the con-
tracing parties, the Government and the own
ers. middemen, who have their own interests
TO consult as third party. The Government
can buy, or the Owncrs can sell, provided tae
third party makes profit, aud not otderSlse.
The owners nre not disposed TO put price upon
her which shall make her cost to the Govern
mcnt more than che is worth; the Government
on the otler hand, allege that tho matter is not
in their control, but in that OF contractors, who
are empowered 10 conduct such transactioas.
The result is that the owners, disguised with
negotiation conducted On such principles, are
fitting out the s,enmer for her original destina-
ton. China, and the Government will probably
lose vessel Admiralty fitted for tho service Cor
which they require her, and for which she is
peculiarly Tilted. The case IL one worthy Of
looking into by the Committee Of Investigation.
Should the Government propose, as We hope
they will, to call into service large number OF
merchant vessels TO aid in the blockade of the
Southern coast, the Committee may discover, BY
looking into this case, how advsntageously
portion Of public business may be done without
the intervention of contractors. So b3f'a trf
