of Texas to the Rio Grande, whenever
they return with supplies received across
the river from Matamoras, consisting IN
part of war implements from England,
and medical and other stores from North

votes more attention to cotton specula-

According to the Richmond Wing, u

by General Heron.

WAsHfNGToN, Feb. lG Major Gen
Heron in his report OF the recent inves
tipation at Little Rock, in the Depart
ment of Arkansas, transmitted to the SEN
ate to-day, indicates his belief III the eX
istence of corruption and speculation,
but exhomoratcs Gen. Steele from all
blame, excepting a too Implicit conn
dence in the integrity OF his stan lie
seems tOregard the Provost Marshal Glen
eral, Lient. Col Chandler, Ot the 1th
Missouri cavalry, a. the principal Of
fender Fines and licenses for release
from imprisonment and proceeds OF the
cotton, are the suspected sources Of
emolument OF which the evidence is not
very direct His dismissal Is ordeTed,
and Col 5 II Borte, of the 29th Iowa
infantry, recommended ia his stead.
Gen Heron also recommends the re
moval OF Col Il o. Carr, Chief Quarter
master, and the appointment Ot more
energetic man.
1t is authOTitativcly stated that the
district Of Little Rock is controlled by a
combination known a. MDonald 4 Co.
contractors torsupplying Indian stations,
with unlimited license from the Treasury
department, by which they bring in i'm.
ffiense stocks of goods, relieved from five
per cent. tax One partner, chief clerk
in the quartermaster's department, and
brother of the rebel Col Henry M'Kee,
conducts the trading stock at Fort Glib
son for the firm OF MDonald & Seymour
At Fort Smith the partners are repre-
,ented as shrewd and sharp men, with
plenty of money, and it is combination
which swallows up everything. The Of
ficer who cannot be bought into their in
terest must make way for some one who
can. Only two or three officers dare op-
pose them. He says there has been
$500 900 worth of goods brought into that
section, ostensibly for the Indians, but
to be sold beyond our lines.
Other similar cases are mentioned In
General Herron's communication. .
