In the final report of Joseph Holt and Robert
Dale Owen, Commissioners on Ordnance con-
tracts, they state that they have effected a saving
on contracts made prior to Secretary Stanton's
taking Office, of 81 900 900.
These contracts were made by Republicans
and under a Republican administration Here
we're 81 900 900 that the Government was to
be swindled out of by the men who went around
in 1856 and told the people that the Democrats
were all thieves and were stealing the peoples
money; these are the men who paraded with such
effect their own honesty and patriotism. Here is
upon one single class of contracts "a loss of
81 900 600; that much money went from the
public treasury into the pockets of a few faithful
and honest % Republicans for their services in
the last campaign. Seventeen millions of dol
lars upon ordnance contracts alone, without tax
ing into consideration the contracts for horses,
for cattle, for army clothing. &c. Truly the
Republican party have fulfilled their pledges to
people Just as the Democrats told them they
would be fulfilled. Corrupt and profigate be-
yond all precedent. they have squandered mil
lions of the peoples money, and now while they
stand with their hands plunged into the public
treasury, they are giving aid and comfort to the
Southern traitors by proclaiming that they have
numerous friends in the North-that the great
Democratic party are sympathizing with them in
their foul treason. How long are these things
to last? With the fact that millions and millions
Of money has been corruptly taken from the
treasury by Republicans, and also that they ale
fast bringing ruin upon the nation by their un-
warranted ISLANDERS upon the Democratic party.
can any man who loves his country hesitate for a
moment as to what course to p%ursuer There is
but one way to save our glorious Union. and that
is TO whip the rebels ia the field and hurl from
power a party who have already proved them
selves corrupt and incompetent to govern

Huntington and whitley Democratic
District Convention.

The Democrats of Huntington and Whitley
held a rousing Convention on Saturday last. on
the county line. near Martin Bechler's to nomi-
nate candidates for Senator and Representative.
Alexander j. Douglas, Esq, of Whitley, was
nominated for Senator, and Samuel MeGauchy
for Representative.
Hon. l.. P. Milligan, Of Huntington, made a
powerful, eloquent and patriotic speech, and sew
eral other Democrats. among them A.. j. Doug
las, also addressed the Convention.
The platform of the 9Th of January State Con-
vention was reafirmed and adopted.
Mr.. Douglas, the nominee for Senator, is Il
Democrat with back bone enough to proclaim his
political sentiments without fear, and ever ready
to assert the rights of the Democracy when as
sailed by the enemies Of the Constitution as it is.
He is Il man of more tlan ordinary talents, a fair
speaker, and will, if elected, do honor to himself
and reflect credit upon his district.
Mr.. Samuel McGauchey, the nominee for Rep
resentative, is a plain, honest old farmer. a
sound Democrat, and amply compstent for the
position he aspires to. He is made out of the
right kind of metal, stiff back-boned and just the
man for the place.
The Convention has made an admirable selec-
ton of candidates, and we feel assured the sturdy
Democracy of Huntington and Whitley will rati-
fy the nomination and triumphantly elect the
candidates.-Fort Wayne Sentinel.

FORTRESS MONROE, August lit is rumored
and believed here that the new Merrimnc has
come down as far as Fort Darling.
The Federal gunbOats have passed up the river
as far as HarrisOn's Landing.
A detachment of infantry and cavalry from
McClellanis army made "a reconnaissance down
the Chiekahominy towards Williamsburg till they
had seen our pickets. They returned and re
ported they had not seen the enemy.
Last night between II and | O'Clock the rebels
opened fire OH McClellan's center for about an
hour and a half from batteries OF flying artillery
from opposite the landing. some above and some
below.
Not one third of these shells exploded. Seve-
raj vessels were struck by fragments of shell,
but no one board was injured. Nine soldiers
were killed and three wounded. After II half
hours delay. cur siege gans opened, and in less
than forty minutes the rebels were silenced.
If the motives of the rebels were to draw our
gnnboats down the river they were disappointed
as not one made its appearance.
Nothing further has been heard from the rebel
Merrimac.

The Cincinnati Commercial don't like the pro-
ceedings of the 30th July Convention. We did
not expect it would. A paper which has advoca-
ted the following sentiments can not have any
sympathy with those who are striving to msintain
the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was.
The extracts below are copied from editorials in
the Commercial:

WASHINGTON. August 2.-The Worlds dispatch
says:
Elk Governor Dennison, Gen. Bates, Represen-
tative Gurley and Larz. Anderson, all OF Ohio,
arrived here this morning at the request OF Gov.
Tod. and had a long interview with the Secretary
of War, the President and Gen. Halleck regard
ing military interests in Southern Ohio, together
with those of Kentucky, whict ended most salts
factorily, and it is probable that all the commit
tee came after will be accomplished.
Tonight they had an important interview with
Gen. Halleck, during which he alluded to the
negro question and said that he vas now and al
ways had been in favor of using he.rueS within
the military lines and cCnfscating all slaves and
other property of rebels in arms. IN addition he
said that Gen. Mcclellan had been instructed tO
use all negroes coming within his lines and com
pensate those who were free, but to employ all
without reference to their status.
The order employing negroes will probably
soon be issued by Gen. HalIeck.

The Negrophobia Democrats have been trying
hard to make a little capital out IF a charge that

falsity CT the charge is shown by the fact that
all such refugees are employed by the Govern

The offerings this week are nearly 100 head
less than last reported, but there were 400 cattle
left over from last week, and the butchers had
bought more freely than usual, 50 that their ne
~cessities are not so great at this time; conse-
auently the market is barely cleared Of cattle at
prices only a very little better than those last re-
ported, and this slight gain was owing more to
quality OF the cattle than to an Improvement in
the market.
The prices and the demand were best on Mon
day, but fell off gradually. and the closing rates
were not higher than those of last Tuesday.
The graziers took none this week. The specu
lators who bought in Albany and Buffalo have
suffered heavy losses this week; one man is said
to have lost S. 400 on 100 cattle bought in Buff
falo.
We hear some complaint that cattle have been
stolen from the rear yards in 44th street.
