Andrew Wallace, Esq, of Indianapolis
recently returned from Western Virginia,
made minute observations of what he saw,
at the request of Governor Morton, and en-
bodied his information in report to his Elk
cellency. We make the following extracts
from it,
In accordance with your instructions, |
have visited the different posts and camps
of our army, now in the field in Western
Virginia, and have to report the following
as the result of my Investigations:
find at Grafton Ito use the only terms
that fully express my meaning) a great
many "broad-cloth men," under pay of
Government, and also many "outsiders"
and idlers who are, to all appearances, sup
ported under various pretences by Our Off
Gals.
At Webster, Va, four miles from Grafton,
| found great scarcity of clothing, but Plen-
ty Of bread hard in every sense of the word,
some salt, beans and coffee, no -four, pork q,
or molasses.
This is the point from whence most of
the supplies are forwarded to Beverly Oar
wagons are allowed six days to make the
trip from Webster to Beverly, distance of
only forty-two miles, and do not generally
DAD heavy enough. | would recommend
that the time required for trip be short
ened, more load given them, and the dri-
vers and men with the wagons, armed
when unaccompanied by an armed escort,
and also that the horses be fed higher
AT Beverly find great scarcity of sup
plies, orders from General Reynolds for
large quantities of pork and -four remained
untitled. The Post Commissary informed
me he bud written and telegTaphed fire.
quently for supplies, without avail, as in
formed you, in my letter Of the date of Sep
TENDER a. | find here a large quantity of
very inferior vinegar, which | think must
have been donated to the government, as |
cannot imagine any agent would purchase
such stuff; also, considerable mouldy,
hard bread, stopped bacon, with the qfad
peeled of, not tit. for use, and about ten bar
Fels of SALT but very little of any thing else.
At this post our men are paying too high
for beef in fact, 1 think pork would be
much better for army use than beef, especi-
ally in these mountains. 1t imparts go
much more warmth to the system. Our
men also need, in my opinion, an ample
supply of good fresh New Orleans molasses,
not syrup, or reboiled, but fresh and fer
menting. Also sourkraut or pickles, as
vegetables are very scarce.
found the clothes Of the 18th and 9Th
regiments as good as could be expected, ap-
parently being of much better material and
workmanship than those OF the l4th and
18th, which regiments are much in need of
new suits, many being in rags. The cloth
ing of these regiments was a disgrace to
our State.
find our Surgeons entirely out of medi-
cal stores, and unable to procure supplies.

Captain Judkins justly said, he had follow
ed her for half an hour, asked her if she re-
quired aid, and receiving no reply in the
usual manner, he could lose no further time
by again putting back. It was matter Of
wonder on board of the Persia why this
signal had not been given before, as ample
time was afforded. After the Persia left
Liverpool on Saturday she met with rough
weather along the channel; the wind was
blowing hard from the westward, and it is
SUP pEsed that the Great Eastern must have
experienced atremendous gale to have met
with the disasters that have overtaken her.

Aeeident TO the Great Eastern.

FROM the New 1OrK Herald, 10th
MIR. Howard Paul, one of the passengers
on board of the Persia, furnishes us with
the following items concerning the Leyia-
than:
. The steamship Persia, which left Liver
pool on Saturday, Sept. IA, met the Great
Eastern on Monday, Sept. l6, at l o'clock,
a. NJ, two hundred and twelve miles from
Queenstown. On approaching her the pas
sengers of the Persia observed that she Was
rolling very much, but had no idea of her
condition, which nearer view afforded.
1t was found that she had lost both of her
paddle wheels, the whole of the boats with
the exception of two) on her port side were
stove in or disabled, and the rudder head
being carried away, she was steering for
home with the rudder chains. Large ropes
were stretched from bnwark 10 bull
wark for the passengers to cling to, and the
rolling was so fearful that one moment the
great ship revealed the whole Of her decks
at most distressing angle, and the next
the bilge was plainly visible.
On discovering the plight of the vessel,
Captain Judkins hoisted ii signal "Do you
require aid?" which was only replied to by
a large board being displayed on the pad
dle-5ox but the characters thereon being
so small the writing could not be decIpher.
ed. The Great Eastern still kept on her
course, working with her screw, and for
twenty minutes the Persia followed her in
order to get an answer to her signal.
The passengers OF the Great Eastern
were scattered over the decks (there were
reported to be about four hundred on board
of her) all of whom seemed strainlng anx-
iously forward to catch view of the Per-
STA. The ladies waved their handkerchie:s,
the men their hats and, Notwithstanding
the extraordinary roll ofthe vessel, the ut
most enthusiasm seemed to be manifested
by her passengers. Up to this time DO an
swer had been given to the signal vt the
Persia, and as she dipped her ensign and
turned her head away, another board writ
ten on was elevated from the paddle-box of
the Great Eastern, with no better result
Even with the aid of the glasses of the of
fcers the characters could be distin-
guished.
During the time the Great Eaatern had
not slackened her pace, and when the Per-
STA had got some distance from her she hoist
ed the signal "Come within hail." but as
