FRAUDS OF ARMY CoNrRAcroRs-A REMoN-
STRANGE FROM THE ARMY or THE WEsT.-ln
another column will be found an interesting
correspondence between General Halleck and
Quartermaster General Meigs, in which the
former demonstrates in energetic terms against
the quality of the shoes and clothing furnished
to the Army of the West. He states that the
shoes issued to the troops ON the march wear
out in four days, the space between the inner
and outer soles being filed in with pieces of
old plate iron, which cut the stitches. The
Of such inferior quality as to be nearly worthless
for service. The General very justly says that it
is an outrage on the troops to issue such shoes
and clothing at all, and still greater one that
they should be charged at full price. He tells
the government in plain terms that the fault
lies in the appointment of incompetent and
dishonest agents in the Quartermaster Generals
Department, and demands that the workshops
in st. Louis shall be reopened for the supply of
proper shoes and clothing to the army. We
hope Mr.. Stanton will reform all this
There is much to be said in favor of this recon-
mendation. Under the system by which the
large stock of worthless clothing on hand was
furnished to the government, there is no posi-
bility of tracing out the contractors. This will
always be the case so long as the Quartermaster
General, whose honesty and efficiency no one
ventures to impeach, cannot have more power in
the appointment of his agents Where possible,
it would be desirable for the commandants
of all the great military departments to be able
to control the quality of the clothing furnished
to their troops. This could be done by giving
out contracts in all the great cities which are
fixed upon as the centres of such departments.
Should the government inspectors prove un-
faithful to their trusts, the commanding generals
would be able at once to lay hands on the de-
linquent contractors, and deal with them as
Wellington used to deal with the same class of
scoundrels during the Peninsular war-hang
them up to the nearest tree. The red tapeism
of which General Halleck complains, and which
exposes the troops under his command to un-
necessary hardships and suferings, should be
instantly put an end to, and some plan adopted
by which the commanders of departments shall
not be compelled to endure in silence rascalities
SO injurious to the morale Of the troops. 1t
would be better for the government to at once
make the pecuniary sacrifice which General
Halleck recommends rather than to continue
a state of things which will interfere seriously
with the progress Of our arms.

soldiers-a forced conscription, in fact-will be
resorted to in every town, village and ward,
and the male population, without regard to age
or any rule of exemption from military duty,
will be compelled to turn into the ranks and
serve as soldiers. This is desperate strait to
which the poor Southerners are reduced. II is
unnecessary to say that the morale OF an army
80 raised will be exceedingly fine and that
they will fight very cheerfully for their task

The WAY Fort DoNELsoN Was SURRENDERED
In his official report of the fall of Fort Donel-
son, General Pillow gives a curious account Of
to and accomplished by the conclave of rebel
generals, within the walls of the fort. 1t ap-
pears that when affairs became desperate q
council of war was held by the three generals,
Pillow, Floyd and Buckner-General Floyd then
holding the supreme command. Pillow says
that he himself was averse to surrender, and
would never consent to it-that Flcyd declared
positively that he Would not allow himself to be
taken prisoner, because be would certainly be
hanged If the Union army caught him. Buckner,
on the contrary, was in favor Of surrender
being convinced that the troops could not hold
out against an attack of half an hours duration
But Buckner was not in command of the fort
and hence he could not adopt the plan be advo-
Gated. What was to be done in this dilemma?
The ingenuity and peculiar morality of General
Floyd came to the rescue. He proposed to turn
over the command to Pillow, and Pillow to turn
it over again to Buckner, thus enabling the lat
ter to surrender the place, provided that he
and Pillow were allowed time to cut and run,
with their commands, out of danger
This plan, General Pillow says, was agreed
to. The transfer Of the supreme command was
made, in this hocus pocus fashion, in double
quick time, and sauve q,i peut was the word
with the heroic Floyd and the gallant Pillow.
We know the rest Buckner, with all his men,
fell into our hands, and Floyd and Pillow
saved their skins for the present.
This is about the incest specimen of military
morality We have seen. And yet General Pill
low, we are assured, is regarded in the South
as second Washington. When he resigned
his position, some time ago, in dudgeon about
some fancied slight, the rebel soldiers made a
great deal of fuss about him, and he magnani-
mously withdrew his resignation. His own
story of the way Fort Donelson was surrendered
settles him.

for the purpose of putting them to work for
the benefit of the army: We are not in
formed as to the work they will be required
to do, but suppose they will be made to aid
in rebuilding the bridges destroyed by the
rebels and to construct Notifications. 1t

right in this case, and we hope his ex,
ample will be extensively followed by
our officers. Why don't our authori.
ties here find work for few hundred ?
They might be usefully employed, for our
selves, willie at the same time they we're
kept from aiding the Confederate Govern
ment. We hope the matter will be attend
ed to promptly. General Nelson has given
strict orders, we learn, that no loyal mans
slaves shall be taken, and the same rule
would OF course be observed here. This is
the policy. Weaken the enemy while you
strengthen yourself, and make bis resources

In the last number of the Danville
(Ky.) Reuiep Rev. DIR. Breckenridge thus
expresses his opinion of his nephew, John
C. Breckinridge:
The conquest of his own State by arms was
one of the points in this atrocious scheme, to
the defense of which the Kentucky Senator
lent himself at Washington, in his vehement
opp osition to the Federal Administration and
in the support of which, on his return to that
State in August. 1861. the conspirator became
a refugee and the refugee a general in the ar.
my of the traitors, and the general an invader
of the land to whose defense he owed every
drop of his blood. His expulsion, as a traitor
to the nation, from the Senate of the United
States, few months later, was the just and
natural result. He had not even the poor ex.
cuse that he was loyal to Kentucky. He was
traitor to her also, and that with treas on ag.
gravated almost beyond historic example, and
destitute of every pretext ever plead by trail
tor before.
