consistency. Such action has 40 parallel
in the records OF Congress. Cameron ap-
pointed Cumming a- gOYernmentageHt.
Sccretury Wel.es appointed Morgan ~ n
government agent Cummings spent tho
money with which he was cLtrusted very
toolisIly, buying linen pautl,oous mot
yet uscIj, straw hats, IuO. yet u5cjl, and
army ale aud por.er (allogether used up ;
but he undoubtedly purchased some use-
fu articles. Morgan spent the govern
ment money foolishly, buying worn out
ships and only a very few good vessels -
Now, If Cameron was wrOug in uDlawrulIy
appointing Cummings, why wa5 not Wellcs
wrong in unlawTuljy appointing Morgan
Besides this Cummings had nothing but
his pickngS for his pains, and Morgan
had both his pickilgS and his two and a,
half percentage and, ifit was wrong fer
Cameron to appoint M agent without COM
pensation, why was it not wrong for Wolles
TO appoint an agent with compensation? {?
We suppose that the fact that Weles is
still in the Cabinet, and may have other
contracts to give out and other agents
TO appoint, while Cameron is out Of the
Cabinet, and can no longer control either
OntraCts or agents, has great deal to do
with this consistent action The vote

The Feeling at Charleston.

| A correspondent of the New York Times
1T Port Royal, s. c.. has had an interview W
| with Thomas Pritchard, negro carpenter
who recently escaped from Charleston to
one of our gunboats. With regard to the
state of feeling in Charleston, he says
the unanimity which has heretofore existed
no longer prevails. Constant fears of
an attack upon the city by our ron-clad
sunboats have engendercd very bitter
feeling, and divided the people in two par
ties, as to the best course to be pursued in
case our gunboats should succeed in pass
ing the forts and batteries. and reach the
city. The "no surrender" party are in
favor of burning the place in event of this,
while the others are violently opposed to
such sacrifice, preferring to eat humble
pie and surrender the city, as was done at
New Orleans. The poorer classes are re-
duced to the most ptiable straits, and the
feeling of animosity which prevailed among
them at the beginning of the war ia com
pletely changed, and now they pray for the
coming OF the Yankees to bring them food
md relieve their distress. There is a greater
scarcity of provisions than has existed and
prices were never known to range as high
before during tho war. Flour is worth $4S
4 barrel, tea Sl5 pound, good meat 75c.
pound. The poor are all kept at the ex-
pense of the city.
The people expected that the city would
be attacked about the 10th of last month,
and very great many have left. They are
still moving away in dread of it, and COM
mittee a. alderman was convened to render
assstanc, TO those who were unable to get
away. La" frame buildings have been
erected at /; nenville to accommodate a
portion of them The greater portion of the
negroes weIe removed to Columbus at the
commencement of the war, and there with
them is Toms wife and family. There are
five thousand troops in and about Charles
ton and new fort Fort Ripley has been
constructed near the city. \ row of spiles
has been placed across the canal, extend
ing from behind Fort Sumter to James
Island, leaving only Just sufficient room for
a vessel to pass with difficulty. To these
spilcs large RATS of timber have been fast
encd by means of heavy chains.
The two rams are both completed, but
have proved useless for offensive opera
tons, tho engines not being strong
enough to drive them through the water
with the requisite velocity They are an
chorod in the harbOr, and will be used as
an additional means Of defense.
