GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION. - We
learn from the Cincinnati Commercial
that the lowest bids made for all the Gov
eminent transportation to the. Cumher-
land were by Captain John B. Ford, of
New Albany, Indiana, and B. C, Levi,
of Louisville, for all the transportation
from Louisville and points below, and by
John G. Isham, James D. Lehmer, John
A. Williamson, Thos. Gaff, and ". {.
Gibson, for all the business from Cincin-
nati-the only question as to an award
being between the above, and the bids Of
David Gibson and Daniel Collier for the
entire business, and as to certain condi-
tons in the bids of Msssrs Isham & Co.
The award will probably be made to-day.
The bids of Ford and Levi for the Louis
vile business is on ordinary pound
freight from Louisville, forty cents per
one hundred pounds; hay, forty-sight
cents per hundred; wagons, Sc so; each
head Of cattle, 81; horses, S.; mules,
IS so; officers, one cert per mile, and
from other points at the same rates, in
proportion to the distance transported.
The bid of Messrs. Lsham & Cots for
| ordinary pound freight from Cincinnati
to Nashville, forty-6ve cents per one
hundred pounds hay, ffty.fve cents per
one hundred peznds, ifearried on seam
boats; officers, one cent per mile; pri-
Yates, half cent per mile per man;
horses, So the. entire distance; mules,
Sc so; cattle, SO; wagons, $40. We re-
gaad these rates as very fair and rea-
sonable for both parties, and have no
| doubt it viii prove a saving to the Gov
eminent over the system of chartering
boats by the day, and though it has re-
quired much labor and difficulty on the
part of Captain Swigart and Colonel
Parsons to break up the charter system
and secure so favorable a contract, yet
We are conhdentit will in the end prove
satisfactory to all parties.
The bidders are men of means, bust

fbeyond doubt, execute the contract to
the satisfaction of the Government as
well as to their own profit
