The Common Council and the Boarc OF
Supervisors met yesterday, but transacted no
business of very great Importance. An a'-
tempt in the Board of Aldermen, to got up Old
investigation in relation to the statement 90 y,
Alderman Brady, that he had expended So,ooo
last wear. in Albany, to defeat the metropolitan
Health bill, brought that gentleman 10 n''
feet. He declared that be was ready 70 suo'
stantiate his assertion, but reminded MS col
Leagues that he had not stated that he paid
money to any member Of the Legislature.
Alderman Genet, and others, yOuched for the
GOOD character of the Legislature, and the
resolutions were tabled. The Standing Com.
mttees were then announced, and the Board
adjourned. In the Board of COuncilmen, the
Committee on revision Of the rules reported in
favor Of appointing five additional standing
committees, viz: Donations and Charities,
Railroads, Belgian Payements, Street Open
ines, and Printing and Advertising. The per-
mission to the Independent Telegraph Co. to
erect poles and connect their wires with poles
already up. given last year, and vetoed by
Mayor Wood, was renewed. The City In
spector was directed to notify the suretles OF
the street. cleaning contractor to clean the
streets, and in default the City Inspector to
do the work. The Corporation counsel was
directed to take measures to restore the Fort
Ganzevoort property to the city. Both Boards
concurred in prohibiting the pernicious prac-
tice of sprinkliDg the streets with salt, as well
as in taking measures to have the three
months militia regiments Of the city re-uni'
formed by the State. The Board OF Super
visors organized for the year by electing the
Hon. Elijah F. Purdy President, reolectipg
Mr.. Joseph Young Clerk, and the other sub
ordinate officers.

The class next in its claim on the attention
of the new Secretary is that Of the JobbeIs
and REGULATORS. If he needs any more law to
enable him to deal summarily with these
scoupdrels, Congress will pass it within the
next hour or two; meantime, let him hang or

latter seems saint by comparison. And moth
ing short of rawbide can touch the feelings
of o peculatOr. He knows that he is vie
creature; but he will never know nor suspect
tho depth of his baseness TIL the rope is around
his neck and be begins TO feel it pull.
If Secretary Stanton can succeed in clearing
Washington and its vicinity of rebel spies and
peculatng contract, jobbers, we believe our
generals will take care of the open, declared
traitors in arms, and that We shall soon have
the REBELLION under foot. Heaven grant 1t +!

Our Washington correspondent telegraphsa
yesterday that Gov. Morgan's contracts fos
subsistence had been annued. We presume
this is true, and yet the statement may leave
an incorrect impression. The only contracts
TO which the report eau refer are coutracts
entered into some weeks since by Capt. Wal
lace, an intelligent officer Of the regular army,
who wss detailed from Washington to Gov.
Morgan's staff for the purpose Of taking charge
Of the subsistence of troops being raised BY
the Governor. For what reason these con-
tracts are annulled, we cannot say. II cannot,
however, be on account of the prices paid, fsr
the contract price in this city is Ia cents foi
raw rations, and 81 cents for cooked. These
prices are lower than any contracts ever made
By officers of the regular army-though the
State officers have once procured as favorable
terms-and they are much lower than is pre-.
scribed by previous orders from Washington.
The price there named is 80 cents for cooked
ratons, aud the United States mastering
ofiicers in this city are paying that price, and
more. Perhaps uniformity Of price is desired.

INK MONTHS AGO.

IL is six months this morning since our
army. full OF courage and hope, moved from
its encampments at Centrcyle and attacked
the rebels in front Of Manassas. Who does
not freshly remember with what an "Al hail ~
the entire population Of this city, on the even
ing Of that day, welcomed the joyous ntelli-
rcncc that our troops under Gen. Mcdowell
had won glorious victory Ard who will
ever forget the reyusion OF feeling which, like
r,cong wave, swept through the loyal
North, when, on tho following morning, the
telegraph proclaimed that orr columns had
fed 10 Gismay from the field, and were at
that hour pouring into Washington, broken.
di.pirited, q mere rabble, utterly oyerthrown
For the moment the good cause seemed to
have encountered o shock from which il could
never rise. But, ere a week had passed away,
the giant North rose elastic from the blow,
and renewing the oath 1t registered at the fall
Of Sumter, sent thousands upen thousands OF
its best sons to thcw war, while It's bankers, its
merchants, and its industrial masses subscribed
and paid into the public treasury millions upon
millions Of money to maintain the vast army at
once enrolled. And during these six months
tho central point toward which this almost in
terminabe martial procession seemed to be
tending was Washington. The "Army Of the
" Potomac" has levied lavish contributions of
men and money, Of horses and provisions, OF
arms aud munitions, in every Free State OF
the Union. Nobody doubted that this was
wise, though for time it looked as II oil other
parts of the country were to be left deienseless
so that the capital city might be protected,
though doubtless the magnificent display along
the Potomac hos, during the Lali year which
has Just closed coat four times ar much as all the
public buildings OF Washington are worth, and
has involved an expenditure of double the
amount which all "the lands, tenements, and
L" hereditaments" of the city would bring in
market overt. And, on this 2lst day of Janu-
airy, there our loyal army stands, on the banks OF
the same river toward which it fled and on which
il rested on the night Of the eventiul and dis
astrous 2lst day of July. And now. as then,
in close proximity to it stands the same unsub-
dued foe. But, though we, in common
with all rejecting men in the Free States,
doubtless not only hoped, bu. fully believed,
that ere this the rebe! forces, so long Haunting
their flag in the face OF tho Federal City,
would have been either annihilatcd, or, at the
least, driven in disgrace beyond sight and
sound of its denizens; yet, as we are now
assured on high authority that we stand on
tho Threshold of great events. we patiently
watch and wait, huinbly praying that, in the
language Of Gen. Mcclellan, there will be no
" more Bull Runs" aud earnestly trusting that
before the anniversary Of that sorrOwful day,
the Rebellion may be crushed utterly and for
ever.

FELIX X. ZoLLCoFFEK (irreyeren'ly styled

some fifty or sixty years ago. Felix was born
in Maury County, near Nashville, in 1912; was
educated a printer; edited, when 90 years of
are, Tie Columbia Observer; in 1885 was made
State Printer; aud in 1912 became editor of

paper in the State. Ia 1853, be was chosen
to Congress as on American" served three
terms with considerable credit; and was lead.

When it became evident that the rebellion
would gain the upper hand in Tennessee, be
plunged into the current, and has since been Q
prominent rebel. In September last, he was
made a Brigadier General, and sent into East
Tennessee as commander in that department.
where he did very much to crush out or stile
the hitherto overwhelming Union sentiment.
He was man of narrow but rather acute
mind, and of good personal character aud
habits, whose early Jacksonism and later Wing.
