perusal of the report of the joint commit
tee on the Conduct of the War recently
made in Congress, in reference to the
barbarous treatment by the rebels, at
Manassas, of the remains of officers and
soldiers of the United States, killed in
battle there.
s'The perusal Of this report as CO.
temporary well observes, "Eill make the
flesh creep with horror. The brutal des-
ecraton of the dead, and the fiendish tor
ture Of the wounded it reveals, seem SO
unnatural and inhuman, that we hesitate
to believe that such acts could have been
committed by men. The rebels have IN
deed made reputation for themselves,
and when, hereafter, the world wishes to
illustrate the perfection Of malignant ha-
tired and deviiish cruelty, instead Of poin-
ting TO the Sepoys or savages, it viii take
the Secessionists Cor its example" Aye,
and when the world looks about for tie
chief conspirator in all this crime, and for
the maleyolent malicho who has been the
prime cause Of all these outrages, We ven
ture to say it will have no difficulty in
settling down upon the scalping scape-
galloWs whose name heads this article.
And yet this writhing wretch has his
secret sympathizers ia our midst, and even
has Press and Types which, while it
shams loyalty, publicly prostitutes itself
to the base business Of defending his ran
cid and rotten reputation What a com
mentary does this furnish upon the de-
prayity of the human heart What is
there in the character Of this knowing
knaye ard thoughtful thief that he should
have such aid and comfort in the North !?

honorable battle The outragcs upon the
dead will revive the recollections Of the
crueltie5 to which savage tribes subject
their prisoners. 1hey were buried IN
many eases naked, with their faces down
ward They were left to decay in the
open air, their bones carried off astrophies,
sometimes, as the testimony proves, to be
used as personal 2dornments, and one wit
ness deliberately AYERS that the head of
one OF our most gallant officers was cut off
By SeceSsionist, to be turned into a
drinking cup on the occasion OF his mar
riage Monstrous as this revelation may
appear to be, your committee have been
informed that during the last two weeks
the skull of a Union soldier has been cx-
hibitcd in the Office of the sergeant-at arms
f the House Of Representatives which
had been converted to such a purpose, and
which had been found on the person Of
enc of the rebel prisoners taken in u re
cent conflict. The testimony Of Governor
Sprague, of Rhode Island, is most interest
ing. It confirms the worst reports against
the rebel soldiers, and c0nclusiyely proves
that She body OF one Of the bravest officers
IN the volunteer service was burned. He
does not hesitate 10 add shat this hyona
deseoraticn Of the honorcd corpse was be-
cause the rebels believed il to be the body
OF Colonel Slocum, against whom they
were iufuriated for having displayed SO
much courage and chivalry in forcing his
regiment so fearlessly and braveiy upon
them. These disclosures, establishing, as
they incontestab!y do, the consistent in-
humanity of the rebel leaders; will be read
with sorrow and Indignation by the people
Of the loyal States. They should inspire
these people to renewed exertions to pro
tect our country from the restoration to
power of such men. They should, and
re believe they will, arouse the disgust
and horror of foreign nations against this
unholy rebellion.
Let it be ours to furnish, nevertheless,
continued contrast TO such barbaritics
and crimes. let US persevere in the good
work Of maintaining the authority OF the
Constitution, and of refusing TO initiate
the monstrous practices We have been
called upon to inS esti9ate.
Your committee beg to say, in conclu-
sion, that they have not yet been enabled
to gather testimony in regard to the addi-
tional inquiry suggested by the resolution
of the Senate, whether Indian sayages
have been employed by the rebels in In,l-
itary service against the Government Of
the United States, and how such warfare
has been conducted by the said sava2es,
but that they have taken the proper steps
to attend to this important duty.

The President at Fort Monroe.

President Lincoln, accompanied by
Secretaries Chase and Stanton, paid d
visit to Fortress Monroe on Wednesday.
The party were met on board the steam
revenue cutter Miami, by Major-General
Wool aud Staff in full uniform, who es-
eorted them into the Fortress, where they
were rendered handsome reception by
the garrison. As the President entered
the Fortress he was favored with the
usual salute of twenty-one guns. Dir.
Lincoln made a thorough inspection OF
the fort, water battery and machine shop.
AT the latter place his attention was par
ticularly directed to the machine for
rifing cannon. It was in operation at the
visit The simplicity and efficiency of it's
movements were highly satisfactory. The
President in turn visited Fort " col, Grip
Raps.) where he was received without the
customary salute, it being dispensed with
at his request The splendid rifed guns
Of the fort were loaded, and shell fred at
the rebel battery at SewalPs Point The
President watched the m0d,tS opcrondi Of
loading the guns, and when the first she'll
was frei, he watched the curling smoke
and listened attentively to the whiz Of the
burning fuse as the shell proceeded thro'
the air. As it fell the she'll struck direct
ly in the rebel works, exploding with a
loud report, throwing up a cloud OF dust
and snoke in the air. The President
subsequently visited the iron batteries
Galena and Monitor. He examined these
vessels with much care, making the most
detailed inquiries as to their construction
and operation On the Monitor, especial
ly, his inquiries were numerous.
The President was about to proceed to
paw a formal visit to Flag-ofGcer Goldsbor
ough, OF board the flagship, Minnesota.
As the cficers of that vessel were getting
their men ready to man the yards and FIRE
a salute, the look out on the foretop an
nouaced that the 6Ierrimac was coming
out of Norfolk. The men were beat to
quarters. and the feet in the harbor sig

north end Of Crauey Island, With steam

esG. SOMETHING UP.-A. a. Barker, Esq,
editor of the 4UfghaniGa, had long talk
with Hall, editor of certain papers III this
county, last Thursday, il. Altoona. Both
these gentlemen are candidates for Congress.
From the late tone of Nr. Barker's paper, one
would suppose that he is to throw for Hall.
Some think, however, that if Hall should car
~ the Conferees OF Blair county, he viii
throw for Barker. Wait and see.-BLair Co.
Khig.
We have only to say in reply to the above,
chat we dii have talk with Mr.. Hall on the
occasion referred to, but it was by no means
srlong talk" nor did it, so far as We can re-
member, embrace solitary word in relation
to the Congressional question. As to the
'late tone" of our paper, we do not think IL
justifes the supposition which our neigAbor
makes, that we are 'to throw for Hail.
That gentleman's name, at least for a consid-
cradle time, has not even appeared in these
columns, except through quoted paragraph,
and in an incidental compliment paid him az
the close OF the Legislature, Upon the mann er
in which he discharged his official duties,
Further than this, We can assure neigh
Dor OF the Wing, that there is no arrange
ment that we know Of by which Mr. Hall is
to- throw for US, or we for him neither wo'd d
we feel ourseIf warranted in entering into
that sort of diplomacy. In conclusion, our
reighbor will allow us to suggest-in jocu-
lar way of course-that the extract which we
have made from his paper, forcibly reminds
us of that old saying, that ''the wicked lee
when no man pursueth - and that those who
are in the habit of making side-door arrange
ments themselves, are generally the first to
suspect others, however innocent, of doing
the same thing.
|. BZE~ Adam Phule, Esq, has just announced
to US his determination TO apply to Govern
ment for hog contract. He proposes to take
the editor of the Standard along down, and
if need be to exhibit him as sample of the
article to be delivered. A p. is confident
that, with such specimen in his possession,
the Department will be SO delighted that il
will award him a contract, "on the most rea-
sonable terms" for several hundred, if not
more. The great difficulty which 4. P. is
likely to encounter, however, viii be his utter
inability to procure stock equal to the speci-
linen.
Gsa- Judging from the tone and temper oi
his paper, it would seem that the editor Of
the Standard really does suspect us with hav-
ing had or having horse-contract, and that
the irritation which he is 50 wont to manifest
towards Us, arises solely from the fact thai
we didn't take the precaution to tender him
the position of stable-boss.
rIg- The editor of the Standard occasion
ally amuses himself by calIinp us n hoyss-

imputation is false, and certainly comes with
a very bad grace from old chronic mail

would they believe us if we were to charg,
