The following extracts from private
letter may be interesting to our readers:
WAsHiNaToS, Dec. q, 81.
Ihave not been fayorably impressed with
this city of the Nation, where corruption
and insanity Tor imbecifo) rule supreme.
Our Grand Army of 250, 900 men have
gone into winter quarters. or are about
doing So Mason and Sldel have been
given up, and before winter gives way to
spring, shall be pleasantly disappointed
if England does not make an imperative
demand for the raising Of the block
ade." Truly "Cot.on is King or SO
regarded in the minds of the British
Ministry. To-day the streets resound
with curses and imprecations on account
Of the giving up of the two Arch-Trai-
tors" Patriots are angry and traitors
rejoicing over the surrender, though the
vilest Of the latter class had hoped for
our refusal and war with England.
A majority of our law-givers" were
weakened upon the English question,
and through the representations Of the
"Slave Border State members are still
weak kneed on the niger question:
The members from the Slave States are
the great clog that palsies the energies of
the Government and stiles all legislation
that looks TO the carrying the war into
Africa" and conqaeriay peace. Truly,
s.our Southern Brethren (such as we
have in the Halls Of Congress are "ten-
der in their mercies. y Our own young
member (Wilso) has not yet been shorn
Of his strength by the political atmos-
phere of the Capitol. A few days since
he offered and pressed through the House,
under the previous question, resolution
forbiddipg our officers frem using their
men in catching or returning fugitives.-
That resolution had its birth on the prai.
ries, not in Washington.
On yesterday ] was informed BY an NJ.
G. (who has been behind the scenes) that
when the documents and evidence which
General Fremont is in possession of are
made public, the loyal people of the Ma
ton will be surprised to learn that, from
the date of his cslebruted Proclamation
he has been persistently hunted down and
crippled in all his efforts by his superiors,
upon whom alone be had to depend for
support. / give you the statement as it
was related to me. The subsequent ac-
ton of the Government would seem to
corroborate the statement.
Since my arrival in this city, have
ceased to be astonished at the fact, that
JEFF. Davis is kept regularly posted in all
that transpires in this city. The depart
ments here are still filled with traitors,
and but few removals Comparatively
have been made. The Douglas Demo-
Gratis visiting this city arc as loud in their
complaints about this matter as are the
Republicans. There is such lack Of
nerve in the administration Of affaiH here
that Thad. Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
who has hated Cameron all his life, has
been compelled to admit that the Secre-
tary Of War is the best man in the Cabi-
net, and does not lack nerve. The Pot
ter Investigating Committee is still a.
work, and If their recommendations are
needed, many heads will full from the
block. ~

an unusually quiet Christmas. Occasion
ally you would hear the boys with their
fire crackers, and now and then see q
t4fast young man making fence worm, but
| have scarcely ever seen more quiet
Christmas in Keokuk than today has
been in Washington. Overhead. the day
was clear, still and bracing, just warm
enough TO thaw in the sun, and cold
enough to freeze in the shade, and "euery-
thing is quiet on th~ PofomGc.' Uncle
johnny Graham headed the Iowa rolan-
teers now in, and expecting to be in Office
here Ga company something larger than
Capt Tammen's, last esening, aud paid
a complimentary visit to the Iowa Dele

appeared to enjoy it. No liquor Of any
kind was used by any of the parties.
which was certainly creditable to all con-
cerned. And Of course everything is
quiet on the Potomac
Lane could get five votes here to any,
other mans one for Commander in Chief
of the army 1t is astonishing what
hold he has on the minds Of all classes of
loyal persons from the most staid Senator
down to the common soldier. No one
believes, if he was in command of our
army, "every thing would remain quiet on
the Potomac Lane is now having maps
made ut the Land Office of Southern Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana,
showing the exaet topography of the
country, streams, swamps, &c. He has
the promise Of twenty thousand troops and
az many Indians as tie can get; and If
he gets them, if he does not go to New Or
leans it will be because there are not pro-
visions enough on the route to subsist his
army-and there will ..be no rebels left
behind nor slaves belonging to rebels
He has the assurance from the President
that there shall be no fire in the rear
from "Old Thomas or any of that class
Of slavery sympathizers here, and the
President no doubt at this tins intends
to stand by the promise, and hope will
do so.
The boosted expedition to Wise,s old
county Of Egyptian darkness amounted to
really nothing. There were no guns ia
ken; the rebel officers ran off to the main
land, and the men went home with their
guns. The slaves that came to our army
were fogged by order of Commander
Lockwood and driven off, even after they
had told where the rebels had hid their
cannon, which information enabled our
troops to get nine cannon, and after CIV
ing information to the troops of the in
tended wholesale poisoning Of them by
the rebels by the distribution Of poisoned
pies and cakes When you can make a
loyal citizen out Of Virginian from one
of the shore counties by proclamations in
favor of slavery, such as Dix's you can
put down the rebellion without "hur,ing
any body" 1t. appears that all that a
soldier is considered fit for here is to
catch and release a niger and keep
everything quiet on the Potomac"

Abou, Express" Bills.

The express companies upon our Railroad
and Stage lines ought TO haze fair and
generous compensation for what they DO.
thus, every honest man will say. Thoss
who have employed them have found out
that they not only wan, and take this, but
sometimes good deal more. Some Of their
bills are no, only unreasonable, but outrage.
Gus. We have several times paid twenty
Eve cents Tor bringiag a SINGLE Letter from
Paris Hill to the Oxford Depot, distance
Of less than ten miles. A few days since
We received copy of the Adjatan' Geu'l''
Report by express, sen, from Augusta to
Paris-about lorty miles-on which tho eI-
press bill was siriy three cents. Now We
don't know whether their companies have
any established price Tor doing business. or
whether their agents are allowed to take oil
they can get; but one thing We do know,
their bills are sometimes out Of oil reason.
Daring lac, winter we had two packages OF
equal size and raiue from and to the same
place; on one was charged Sl.e5 on the
other $3.50. Now what docs all this mean!
We are always willing to pay far and
even eenerou. price to the express compa-
mis-. but We don't want to be "spopged."
In these remarks We arraign no particular
company, or no particular agent doing bu'''
ness for them for We scarcely know sim
gle assn, on any Of our II. Road or Stage
lines. And 'wo are not alone In making
these complaints. We have heard great
many other persons complain about these
matters. There is something about this
business which Is wrong and ought to be
corrected.
