Frauds on the Governments.


On Friday, February 9TH, 1852, Mr..
Van Wyck, of New York, delivered a
speech in the House of Representatives,
in which he exposed in boldness and
truth, the inhuman frauds which have
been committed upon the Government
since the outbreak Of the rebellion. -
The disclosures made known in that
speech are startling in the extreme
From the very beginning of the war,
frauds, swindling and treason among
Government contractors and agents
have been the order of the day. In pur.
chasing arms. amanitions, stores, horses,
cattle, provisions, vessels, and every
thing else made use of by the Govern
rnent,the disclosures show that the most
wicked and damning frauds have been
carried on by the persons employed
as contractors, who have proved them.
selves "fends il human form" As an
p
instance of this we need but mention
the case ofGcorge D, Morgan, Of New
York, who realized 800, 900 in the short
space of three months in purchasing
vessels for the Government. Mr.. Van
Wyck is Chairman of the Contract In.
vsstigating Committee, and understands
full well the nature and enormity of the
crimes which have been committed by
these rascals and Williams who are feed
ing upon the spoils which, by their un-
paralied deeds Of iniamy and disgrace,
they have gathered from tho treasures
of a bleeding and suffering people, and
nothing could be more forci6e in the
exposure of these transactions than the
speech of this gentleman in the House
OF Representatives. His censures up.
on the,r course and conduct are terrible
liz every sonse OF the word. Ia the
close OF his remarks be uses the follow.

Connecticut Election.

Last April, the Democrats carried two,
of the four, Congressional Districts, and
very nearly swept the State. A perfect
glorifcation in rebeldom was the result
The party went into the election this
spring with the expectation, and the ex-
ultant promise of making clean sweep.
But the people have profted by rehec-
ton, it seems. The election is over, and
such defeat no party ever experienced
before in that State 1t has proved
itself Union to the very core
Jeff. Davis will get no comfort from this
election Two miserable sympathisers
will play the sycophant for another year
in Congress. But, repudiated by their
constituents, they will not be able to do
much HARM Good for Connecticut!

Three cheers for the Virginia 4th!

B0 We admit to our columns a rather
singular article, signed ga Democrat. "
We do not suppose the writer is, at pres
ent, an adherent of the party; and that
he intends it as a>back handed hit at the
leaders who so persistently stick to the
organization, when all true patriots
ought, as the writer has done, to sink
their partisan feelings in an earnest eff
rort to save our country from the ruin
brought upon it by the mad ambition of
those who have so long controlled the
Democratic party.
We cannot say that we approve of all
the writer says, even if our construction
of his purpose is correct, nor of the man
aer in which he says it. But, as he has
no other organ of communication, we
have permitted him to have his ''say, :"
through the Telegraph. If the writer
wishes to continue his communications,
he must avoid personalities, and, as far
as possible, the use of language calcu-
lated to irritate or give just cause of
offense. The present article is hardly
free from objection; but we let it pass
with this admonition

Wool Carding.
To the Farmers of RIcigs County

To the Farmers of HEcigs County:
WE again call your attention to the fact
w that we are prepared to execute all or
ders for CARDING or GRINDING, at our Mill,
near the Courthouse, in Pomeroy.
The reports we have from our work of last
year fully confirms US in the belief that it has
given general satisfaction in quantity and
quality of rolls, proportioned to the cleanli-
ness, quantity and quality of Wool. This fact,
together with the necessity of the most rigid
economy. in view of the great and pressing
wants of our Government, which must be sus-
tanned in this her hour of greatest peril, at any
and all sacrifices; and also the scarcity and
high price of cotton, and the uncertainty of fil-
ture supplies, induces US to believe that large
amount of Wool will be worked up the coming
season; and have therefore prepared ourselves
accordingly, by putting machines in the
best of order, and securing the services of Mr..
DAVID JENKINS, former owner of the mill,
and the best Carder in the county
While we thank you for past favors, permit
us to admonish every one who can procure a
pound of Wool, to bring it to US, well cleansed,
(using as little soap as possible,l with one
pound of clean grease to every lbs of Wool, so
that we can grease it ourselves, just before
working, and we will insure good work.

R@We refer our readers<<with pleas
ure to the advertisement of Tho 3. Egan,
of Racine. We are quite sure this es-
tablishmenti is not as we'll known through
out the county as it should be.
We are assured that those who want
wool carded, spun, or wove, will have
their work done at this establishment,
to entire satisfaction.
1t gives Us real pleasure to notice the
establishment of any branch of manu-
facturers in our county, and hope Mr..
Egan will find his business a success.
