the war, so far as ascertaIned, $l55, ,2627S2 Up
to 1868 there was much confusion in the pur.
chase of forage, but matters were straightened
out when Colonel 8. l.. Brown was placed in
charge of this especial duty, and his admirable
reports record business of magnitude and inn
portance seldom equalled. Between the Sth of
December, 1862, and 30th of June, 1866, he pur-
chased and shipped to the depots and armies
2787 1853 bushels of corn, 20, 997, ,2s9 bushels OF
oats, 43,3ll bushels of barley, 269, ,9l4 tons of
hay, 8243 tons of straw; the cost of which was
$3i, 3O8, ,56396. The grain was purchased at
certain points, under the direction OF Colonel
Brown, and transported to Portland, Boston,
New York, and Philadelphia by rail- canal. river,
and lake; making 1867 car loads, 500 barge loads
by canal, and 40 schooners, 20 barques, and 20
propeller cargoes on the lakes. The hay pur-
chased upon the line of railroad was trans ported
to the coast In 6556 car loads. The whole was
reshipped from the above-named ports TO the
depOts of the armies on the coast in 257O car
goes. The freight paid to these vessels was

WASHINGTON, July 4.-From expressions
of members of the House since the report
of the Rousseau Grinnell Committee, it
seems hardly possible that vote Of two
thirds necessary for expulsion) can be
obtained. 1t is believed that General Rous-
seau would prefer expulsion to public
reprimand before the bar Of the House.
His friends contend that if he is expelled
the effect will be to return him as United
States Senator from Kentucky this winter.
The report of the Military Board which
was recently in session for over two months
has not yet received the approval Of the
Secretary Of War or General Grant.
There are rumors of its being set aside
as unsatisfactory, and new board being
convened. 1t is said that several members
of the Board refused to sign the report.
