A Huge $windiinG DDarnfiou.

The Washington Star of yesterday evening saws 4
great cotton swindle has Just been unearthcd at
Augusta, ia 1t involves nearly twelve thousanJ
oaies oi cotton, valued at two millions of dollars and
the names OF several prominent military officers are
mixed up in the affair. The facts in the case are
about as follows During the rebel occupation of
Georgia three parties. named Thomas s MetcaIf
VIM. A. Beal end jeremiah Bcall became the Joint
owners Of nine thousand seven hundred and ninety
four bales of cotton. One of the parties MetcalD
owned 4'WO bales on his own account, which the
repei GCn. ELL at Augusta turned into the street in
a damaged condition. Metcalf gave person named
George Schley Onc-third of the cotton to rebale il
and pat in in shipping order. This cotton MetcnIf
sold in July last through Sehlcy to John GarSed of
Philadelphia. The defendants in this ease Garsed
and Schlcy, also claimed that Mecalf sold 10 them
the 9,7UJ bales owned jointly by himself and the two
Bealls. This Metcalf denied claiming that he only
gave the price i could be bought for on certain
day for cash-20 cents per pound Garscd and
Sehiey seemed to have had sufficient interest with
the military authorities to invoke their aid in en-
forcing this alleged contract The result was that
MAYOR General Scadman issued order, through
Provost Marshal General {. H. Grosvcnor which Or
dered the entire amount of cotton, over 1000 bales
to be delivered to John Garsed, by him put in order
for market, ard ordering him. if the sellers still re
fused to receive tho money by the 1st of September
time allowing them thirty days from August to
procure revocation of this order Metcalf made
efforts to compromise the claim of Galsed, whom he
feared would succeed in the whole matter through
his influence with the military authorities. 1t was
represented to Mctcnlf and Beall by a man named
Cohen, who was said to BE Intimate with General
GrOsvenOr, that the whole claim would be COM
promised by the payment of S200000 Fearful
that they would lose all if they resisted. they
consented. and $ll 600 was paid down. The next
morning Metcalf was arrested and sent to prison on
the charge Of trying to brbe General Grosvenor but
was soon released on disclaiming any intention to
bribc. Afterwards orders were issued bv direction Of
General SteaJiman. which stipulated the precise
manner in which all the business should be DONE
even TO pro'lding for putting in rope and bag
ging, and tic manner in which the payments should
be made
Inese facts and other nterlercnces by the military

Assistant Adjutant- General,
The Texas Indemnify Ron,ls.

The Secretary of the Treasury lately decided
to pay all the Texas Indemnity bonds pre-
sented at the Department with evidence that
they were reused by loyal holders, and had been
transmitted from the State CT Texas only
through loyal parties 1t is not. however, the
intention of the Department to pay the bonds
presented without such evdGntc, and without
careful scrutiny of the facts in each case
Governor Hamilton has represented to the
Department that certain Texas indemnity
bonds were by the officers of the rebel gov
ernment fraudently taken from the State treas
ury are now III New York city to be disposed
Of for the benefit Of certain rebels who have
gone there since the close of the rebellion. and
Gov. Hamilton protests against the payment
OF these particular bonds to any party except
ing the State of Texas
The facts represented by Governor Hamil-
ton are that on the 18th day of January, 1868.
q, so-called Military Board of the State of
Texas, composed of George z. Murragh rebel
Governor and OK ollicio President ofthe Board:
n. B. Beaver and James S. Holman. made a
contract with George w. White. of Austin
Texas, and John Chies, of Hamilton county.

bonds. with coupons attached. amounting to
S156, PSI. 80, White and Chilcs agreeing 10 de-
liver in payment therefor 5000 cotton cards.
at So per pair. and the balance in medicines Of
the best quality.
Ihe bonds and coupons were 20 be delivered
to them immediately upon the execution Of the
contract on their furnishing satisfactory sccu-
rty for the performance Of the contract. or to
pay to the Military Board, in case they should
fall to fulfil the contract by delivering the cards,
and medicines, Texas State or per cent
bonds at par, worth at that time about s ceuts
on the dollar, while the United States bonds
were rated at so cents OH the dollar, when in
fact they were worth 81. 10, being paid by the
Government III gold. On the 18th dav of Jan
uary, the date ofthe contract, White and Chiles
executed their bond to the State of Texas TO
secure the performance Of their contract, and
on the 18th of March following the Military
Board took from the State Treasury the ljJ
United States indemnity bonds and delivered
them to White and Chiles, taking their receipts
therefor. No cards or medicines were ever
delivered by these parties
White and Chiles have come North, and
attempted to obtain pardons by the President.
and are endeavoring to dispose of the bonds
as their own property in the New York mar
ket. Governor Hamilton has requested the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay none of these
bonds, and it will therefore be advisable for
all parties purchasing Texas indemnify bonds
to see that none of them have come through
the hands of White and Chiles. rs in srch
event their payment against the protest of the
State authorities of Texas Is very doubtful.

IRON the Liverpool Times, sept. IS
Among the papers read before tho British
Association at It's late meeting may be men
toned one which shows the enormous resources
Of Birmingham in the manufacture of arms.
and the superiority of the great town in the
midland counties i'll this respect is not thing
OF yesterday, but extends far back into the
past. Nearly eight thousand workmen are al
most constantly employed in this branch OF
production alone, and the wages of these skill
ed Workmcn vary from three hundred pounds
Il year each down to eighty pounds and seventy
pounds: As far back as the war between Eng
land and France It was the boast Of Brming-
ham that it could produce gun a minute.
which is five hundred and twenty-five thousand
IN the course of the year. In 1873 no less
than four hundred and ninety thousand mas
kets were supplied 10 the British government.
and one hundred and fifty thousand to the
late East India cCmpany. France, at this
time, though aided by the ploducing power
in the same line Of Italy and Belgium. could
only weld muskcts at the rate Of two hundred
thousand in a year. But this capacity of pro-
duchon as great as it was, was even exceeded
during the late American war, when Birmng-
ham turned out nuskcts 81 the rate of two
thousand every single day. For a couple of
years the American demand strained every
eXertion that even Birmingham could furnish:
but this was before the Americans began to
manufacture for themselves. or at least before
the native resources came into full play Even
in the earlier stGges of the production on the
other side of the Atlantic, the guns exported
by Birmingham were at the rate Of forty thou
sand and fifty thousand month. Six months
before the war closed the demand almost en-
treIy ceased. We learn from this paper, read
by Mr.. Goodman that from 1859 to 1864 Bir-
mingham supplied three million of weapons to
the British government, exclusive Of a million
more proved at the government proof-hoUse i'll

much larger sum, $1,000 which had been placed in
another drawer. With this booty the burglars
walked quietly out and locked the front door of the
building. The frequent burgares of late in the city
calls for the utmost diligence on the part of the
