News From The IIimaIayas.

The efforts which have been made for
several years to recover the lost records of
the intrepid and accomplish Asiatc ex-
plorer, Adolph Schlagintweit, have at last
been crowned with success 1t will be re-
memherel that, with his br others, Herman
and Robert he set out in 1884, under
the patronage of the East India Society, TO
explore the mountain system of The Himal-
ayas and the adjacent regions. They were
provided with the best instruments, Travelled

Of % $50 feet greater elevation than Hum
boldt attained in South America. and had
communicated The most valuable results to
the learned societies of Europe before the
return OF Hermann and Robert. in 1857
Adolph pursued his explorations alone,
advanced in a northwesieriy direction into
central Asia, went beyond Yarkand into a
region that has been described by no scien-
ti6c traveller since Marco Polo, and reached
The walls of Kashgar There he perished in
a melee between the native savage tribes,
after having triumphed over the greatest
difficulties of his periIous journey. The
English authorities Of India, prompted by
the universal interest of savants. have from
that time been energetically endeavoring
TO recover his papers. and TO save IN science
the great amount of knowledge he had
accumulated. A communication from Sir
r J. Murchison, in a late number OF the
London Times, announces the gratifying in
tellieence that his journal has been recov.
cred through the agency ofthe Civil Com.
missioner in Cashmere that il containes
full records of his discoveries up TO the
time of his death, and that il will be in.

travels which the surviving brothers Schla-

SlE DREAM.

/ sit in my chair by the blazing Ere
And doZe away my life,
And the laughing flames leap higher and
higher,
AS dream OF little wife;
On my shoulder feel pressure sweet
And arms like the snow-on, whittier =
About my neck in a warm clasp meet
And the flames fash brighter and brighter.
And ringlets of gold pour over my face,
As my head 10 her bosom's pillow,
Sinks down in cloud o perfnmed lace,
That heavens ike foam on the billow
And hear her warm hearts quickening beat
And her eyes glow bright as fire,
As my lips are covered with kisses sweet,
And the flames leap higher and higher.
A soft check nesiles close tn my own,
And the sweet smiles o'er it chase;
Like sundrops upon a calm lake thrown,
Her dimples the smiles efface-
huie-Iike laugh, and her swelling breast,
Heaven joyous-high and higher;
How happy my lot, and how sweet my rest,
With wife in front OF the fire.
And drink her beauty into my heart,
And the light Of her eyes:
With crash the red brands fall apart
My wife up the chimney flies
Thus oft in my chair by the blazing fire
doZe away my life,
And the mocking flames laugh high and
higher,
Al my dream of love and vile.

The Female Prisoners At Washing Ton

Yesterday afternoon, at five O'Clock. the
female prisoners, Mrs. Greenhow and Bax.
ley; who have been confined for some time
past at the Sixteenth street prison (Mrs.
Greenhow's former residence), under The
care of Lieutenant n. E Sheldon, were by
order of Brigadier General Andrew Porter,
removed TO the old Capitol prison, where
apartments have been provided for them.
AT half-past four O'Clock carriage was
drawn up in front oil the door of the prison,
and at the hour first named, the prisoners
left The house on their way 10 their new
quarters. Before leaving the house, how
ever, both the ladies took occasion TO shake
hands with several members of the guard
who stood 10 the left of The house, when
the prisoners came out. Mrs. Gree1how
was the first TO advance, and taking one of
the soldiers by the hand, said to him.
Good bye, sir. trust that in the future
you may have a nobler employment than
that of guarding defenceless womenn As
she dropped the hand of the guard and
walked towards the carriage, we noticed
nervous twitching al the lips, and watery
look about the eye.
Mrs. Bax!ey also shook hands with the
guard, and, without speaking, entered the
carriage. She was followed by little Rose
Greenhow, The daughter of Mrs. Greenhow,
who will, at the request of her mother, be
incarcerated with her The carriage then
drove off, followed by an army wagon,
drawn by six horses, containing the bag
gage of the prisoners. Lieut.. Sheldon also
look a seat in The carriage with the
ladies'
Arriving at the Jail, the prisoners were
delivered 10 the charge OF the parties having
control there, by whom they were con-
ducted TO their quarters. AT this point,
bo.h Mrs Greenhow and Mrs BaxIey took
leave OF Lieut.. Sheldon-iheir parting being
OF the mos, touching nature. Both the
ladies' expressed their thanks sor the conr-
| tesy and kindness with which they have
been treated by the Lieutenant since their
incarceration while little Rose threw her
arms around The Lieutenaufs neck and
embraced him.
On Monday morning, Mrs. Ellie Poole.

A Funny Auction Sale.

unclaimed packages:
Mr.. Shell Ion sold yesterdayat auction the
various packages which have lain in the
Office OF the Express Companies, uncaIed

years. There were some two hundred lots
or more, OF all shapes and sizes, and they
were offered without reserve, for cash, TO
the highest bidder, the anciioneer adding
10 his general terms The wise provision
that each package was TO be paid for before
il was opened aud delivered. Quite a
numerous company attended the sale, and

THE FRAUDS IN THE WAR ExPEEDITUsEs EcT.
The House resumed the consideration of
the amendments, reported to the House
from the Committee of the Whole or the
State of the Union, to the Civil Apprt pria-
ton bill.
Mr. Dawes, (rep.) of Mass, frori the
Committee of investigation on Cover ment
Contracts, in resuming his remarks COM
menced on Friday last. said-Sir, ha, g not
failed to notice, and believe the committee
of which am member have not fai ed 10
notice, in common with the whole co lntry,
that for some unacconntabIe reason the
charges upon the national treasury, a this
time of war, have been such as to reach
nearly the bottom of the public chest. Du-
ring our investigation startling facts have
come before the notice of this committee, &
to the notice of the whole country, tor ching
the mode and manner OF the expendi ure of
the public money. Some of these itsms |
proposeto call public attention to, an then
to ask gentlemen the plain question, when
they propose to meet this question, at all
and if so, how, when and where2 The very
first contract entered into by this COVER nmen
after the troops had left their homes tc come
here, in April last, to defend the Capitol, by
which they were TO be fed, was a c,ntract
entered into for cattle. II was not made
with man whose business it was q, sup
ply cattle to the market, not with /. man
who knew the price of beef in the markets
of the country, but was entered into ,y the
government here with a man well knDwn in
this. and the other branch of Congre IS, for
the last ten years, as an old political stipen
diary-one of the class of men who, ic times
past, made their money by such ope rauons
as buying the certificates of memb ,rs for
books at discount and then charging the
full amount. This contract was n ade so
that the first twenty two hundred h sad of
cattle furnished was charged at a rate which
enabled their original contractor TO sub.let
it, in twenty-iour hours after, TO a nan in
New York who did know the price Of beef,
so that he put into his pockets, without
stirring from his chair, thirty-two thousand
dollars, and the men who actually inrnish~
ed the cattle in question putinto lhei Pock-
cts tweniy-six thousand dollars m ,re, so
that the contract under which these wenty-
two hundred head of cattle were fr rnished
10 the army was so made that the profit OF
5s-thoasand dollars was realized Fer the
fair market price. It takes longer time to
