Up to iha time the Utter took charge of the Sute Agercj office in Jfew York onlj Are hundred tho tend dollar of frauJulent bond had been iuul. The Journal admit that a few daji af te litpsos took the office he became cognizant of the fraud, and after that tseriod over two milliani of dollar of fraudulent bond. were issued. Hcpsjo. after he knew that Stovmi had issued fraudulent bonds had so much confidence in his integrity that 1 made an arrangement with him to gi? e him lime to redeem them, aiid for a year kept the secret of the crime to himielf. In Jan uary last be firt advised the State authorities of the wroo doin, and they kept the secret nearly six month longer, und all of them allowed Stove to keep the blank bonds in his po?eision, per mitting him to hold in his h ind the means of ex tending the fraud indefinitely. ilr.Dono supposed Stover was an hone-it man, and he did not have any reason to nuapect even that Stover was otherwise. Hut lltD-ot and Governor Monro. did know of the fraud, and yet U"ed no means to get the blank bonds out of Stover' possession and neither of the-e pnrties puMhhed his conduct t- the world," nkhough tltey knew just the way that Srovr.a had committed the fraud, and the means he had of extending it. The difference between Mr. Doun nd Mr. Ileus) is this, the former had no reason to doubt Stovir 's honesty, while Hcdso trusted him indefinitely for near eighteen months, after he knew lie had acted dishonestly. Every candid mau must admit that Hcdso had the "best chance of preventing these fraud," if he had acted with common sa gacity. We ask the Journal to explain why lIi'io and Governor Morto did not get the blank bonds out of the possession after their knowledge of the fraud, and the way Stover committed it? Kmall Profil. The New York Journal of Commerce exposes the manner in which Government officials are making "small profits" out of the necessities of thecoun try, and at a time above all others when a strict integrity and a rigid economy should be the rule It says, ' fraud and corruption iu high places lave become the standard subject of national reprobation. We have seen a retiring Cabinet officer censured by a vote of the House of Rep reentative.?, for the most digraceful acts, involv in citizens hose reputation had before been un et tincd. We have had a tremendous job in the chartering of vessels for transportation, wc have volume of testimony implicating high officers in the army and their assistants, we have a pending resolution to expel a Senator who received pay for procuring contracts for muktU, and there is loug roll of charges of fraud and villainy in h'gh and low places remaining for investigation, which are enough to appal a man who wants to hive faith hi human nature, and American character. Rut is it onlv tlice gross frauds, these raiI robberies which demand investigation? Is it not sadly true that a vast number of men who are servants of the Government, are willing to receive money which is not strictly and honestly their due, if there happens to be any old custom of receiving in that way to keep quiet their consciences? And is it not true that the prevalent .habit of getting money from the Government on any and every possible pretence, in umall sums ainl pmall way, by Senator und other oflieers, leads to the great frauds which astound and shock the moral sense of the country? We have before us a letter of the Clerk of the House of Representatives in answer Ij a resolution of the House on the 9th nit., transmitting an account of the expenses of select committees unpointed by the IIoue. The account shows the profit made by members of Congress (who are paid also by the year as every ne knows) when they serve on select committees. Tho items are mostly small, but the aggregate makes thousand of dollars. The items are chiefly mileage, at ten cents a mile, and "expenses" at three dollars a day. Perhaps) these charges are reasonable and proper, but iu looking down the account e are startled at two items which are inexplicable, according to our views of the duty of Senators, and the object of Government in (ming them nn annual salary. Among the expenses of spvci;l committee to investigate the destruction of the Norfolk navy vnrd nre the following items: J. W.

rrm tin Armr belere Itiehniond llovr Iii l'eopl of the Tountrr re Ileeelvrit by tue War Deporlmenl. We copy the following extracts from the spccul coneKt,dent of the Chicago Timt, whowas an eye witness of the terrible engagement upon the Peninsula. The first extract is from a letter dated Jan. 2-lh, Savage Station, nine miles east of Richmond: The army of the Potomac has met the enemy and been defeated. There is no use in attempting to evade or gloss over this sad and humiliating fact. We ar cut off from all communication with the rest of the world, bat I will ventur to assert that the newspapers of Friday morning, June 27, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morn ings, June 2, ttJt aud 30, bave and wdl contain ofhcial bulletins from the War Department at Washington, stating that McCIellan has gained a brilliant victory over the rebels, has annihilated the rebel army, and is now engaged in a profound strategic movement toward the James river. I am tired of these official Washington lies. I know how and why they are manufactured Stanton sacrificed McCIellan and his gallant little army on the alUr of his selC-h ambition. I tell you we are defeated defeated with terrible loss; and if we succeed in cutting our way through, and getting away from Richmond, it will be an achievement equal to Xenophou'a retreat of the teu thousand Greek. Immediately after writing to von my last letter from Washington, on the 23d inst., I think, I started for this point, relying fully upon Lincoln's promises to McCIellan of ample reinforcements, and fully expecting to hear the booming of ßurnaide' cannon on James river long betöre now. I arrived here on Tuesday night, J une 21. Gen. McCall's Pennsylvania Reserves have joined McClellan's army. Rut besides these, and with the exception of a few other beggarly regiments, 15,000 men in all, not a single soldier has arrived. And, so far as Durnsi Je is concerned, he might as well be back in North Carolina for any good he is doing McCIellan. 1 know very well that this is not Burnside's fault: and knowing
what I do of intrigues at Washington, it is not difficult to decide where the fault lies The next is dated "Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Harrison s Landing, on the James river, eight miles below City Point, Thursday, July 3:" I have had no opportunity to write you since my List letter of Juno 23. The scenes that I have pas.-ed through since then are such as I never expected to witness, and such as I pray may never bo my lot to see again. The War Department at Washington, as I learnjrom papers received to-day, has suppressed all the material fact, and has had the brazen effrontery to trumpet to the world the assertion that we have gained m t ww a great victory oeiore Jtieumoini. i lie i.ict is exactly the reverse. We have met with a defeat which will prove the utter annihilation of the army of the Potomac, unless we are reinforced by 100,000 disciplined troops in '.he course of the present month. For seven days past we have been fighting with the enemy every day, and re treating every niglt. For seven days our heroic troops have (ought like heroes, as they are, with the courage inspired by patriotism, and without once turning their backs upon the foe. For seven days we have given ground only step by step, blow in ; up the bridges behind us, burning up all the stores and ammunition which we could nut carry with us, aud compelling the euemv to pave his way in our wake with the bodies of thousands of his best officers and soldiers Rut all this has been of no avail. Wherever we brought a brigade of 1,000 men into the field the enemy met it with a division of lo.OOO troops. Whenever we drew up a division in line of battle, it was confronted by a whole Confederate army corps jo.tnjo ttrong. lien our troops were drawu up in line of battle, thev had to fight un til both their ammunition und their strength were utterly exhausted. Not so tho rebels. As fast as the ammunition of abrigade became exhaust ed.orthe men became weary, they were with drawn, and their places filled by fresh traops. In every tight that we have ben engaged in uu ring the seven days, the enemy has outnumbered us three to one. Siill, iu the face of all thee unequal facts, the retreat has been conducted with perfect order and discipline. The baggaiiewagous and transportation have all been saved We have lost sixty pieces of field artillery, which have been captured by the enemy: but all the other guns have been brought oiF safely. The loss which will be most severely felt, is that of the baggage aud personal eflect of the officers of many ot the regiments, packed in trunks and carpet bugs, which were necessarily left behind for the want of transiiortation. We left behind at Savage Station, also, 2,500 wounded and sick soldiers, twenty-three surgeons who volunteered to stay and take care ot them, und fifty nurses selected from the ranks. We were obliged to release all the prisoners we had taken; and, more humiliating still, we had to leave upon the battle-field, to the tender mercies of the enemy, thousands of our dead and dying soldiers. In riding through tl e woods on each side of the roads, I have seen thegroun 1 strewed for miles with blankets, overcoats, knapsacks, cartridge boxes filled with ammunition, and even with muskets and bayonets iu capital orJer. Of muskets alone there must be thousands thus thrown away. The woods, too, aud by-roads and lane?, were filled with stragglers and skulkers, who always had the same tale to tell. They had femht with their tegiiiient until ordered to fall back, and had then become separated from it, and had been unable to fiud it miicc. The number of these skulkers, all of them without their arms, was c-tiuiatet! to day by au army older of high rank, at 20,000. The retreat proper commenced on Fridsy night, June 27. It was continued without intermission until yesterday, nt which time the army reached this position. It is twenty-five miles southeast of Richmond in a direct line, but fifty miles by tho course of the James river. As we were only four miles from Richmond when the movement commenced, it can readily be perceived how much nearer we are to our object now. As our troops crowed the bridges over the Ciiickahomiuy and the White O ik Swamps, the Engineer Brigade of Gen. Woodbury, who had built tho.-e massive structures, blew them up with guujtowder, and obstructed the road with ulattit and felled trees. '1 he New York papers of Monday, which I have ju?t seen, say that this would be done, and boast that the Chickahomiuy aud thoe swamps would .rove a barrier between us and the enemy which the latter could not pass. Yet they have paed it. Their progress was not retarded gi eatly by those obstacles, formidable ;is they were. They have engineers ns well as we. They constructed bridges aud causeways, cut new roads, and continued to press us hard. Our loses durin" these ie.irful seven davs h ive been e.ioi iu n. and must reach, in killed, wounded, and place! hara de combat, 5,000 men per day, or 30,000 men in all. Can McCIellan maintain his position where he is now? Yes, if he is reinforced by 5,000 troops per day, steadily, without cessation, lor the next twenty days; not otherwise. The enemy has concentrated at Richmond two hundred thousand disciplined troops. This force will in a few days be hi.rled en mntse on McClellan's little army. Vet in those few days we, will be so intrenched here as to be able to "hold .e position, if we are thus succored. Ponrcairr ( Wriilen ui Fortress Monroe, July 4 ) 1 h ive come low n the James river to mail this letter to you from here. Before I left McClell. us headquarter vesterday, the statement was circulated through the camps that reinforcements amounting to 20,003 troops haJ arrived at Hirtin's Landing. I leant here from very high authority, that the whole number of reinforcement sent to McCIellan during the lastse'eu days, has not exceeded 6.000 men, ind that it is very doubtful whether 25.0W troops in all, inelu ling these, c in be sent to him daring the next two months. The facts in regard to this point ouzht to be instantly ascertained. If McCIellan cannot be properly reinforced, he ought to be at once withdrawn from the Peninsula. It is noth in les than murder to expose him, with the lit tie remnant of his army, even augmented by 2J,OO0 fresh troops, to be cut off by a rebel force twice as large. It is time for the country to be aroused, and to ak whether McCIellan and his noble little army is to be completely annihilated in order to gratify the revenge, the malice, or the envy of Edwin M Stanton. For he i the man, and he alone, who is to blame for keepinü 100,000 more troops away from McCIellan in March and April last.

Our rtexr York Correspondence The
Mover I'm ml. Ntw Yo&k, June 27, 162. Ma. Kl-jtok: The matter of the Indiana bond frauds ha culminated in the indictment of D. C. Stover, late Sute Agent, and of Simuel Hallett, banker, of this city. 1 he statute upon w bub the indictment rests, is as follow: "Kvery Ddron who, with intent to defraud. shall falsely make, alter, forge or counterfeit ant instrument or writing, being or purporting to be the act of another, by which any pecuniary. de mand or obligation shall be or shall purport to be created, increased, discharged or diminished. or by which any rights or property whatever shall be or purport to be transferred, conveyed, diminished, or in any way affected; by which false racing, forging, altering or counterfeiting, any jierson may be affected, bound, or in any manner injure! in his person or property, upon convic tion thereof, shall be adjudged guilty of forgery in the third degree. The punishment therefor, on conviction, will be imprisonment in the State prison for a term not exceeding five years. 1 he effort to obtain indictments against the State officers of Indiana will not succeed. I re fer to those officers who entered into, or acquiesced in, an arrangement with the parties responsible for the illegally executed bondswherebv the bonds were tobe treated, at the State Agency, so far as the public could see, as genuine stocks are treated. The arrangement is said to have been substantially as follow s: If a holder of an illegal bond should ptesent it for transfer at the State Agency, it should be received, and an announcement made to the holder of its actual character. He should be told again to call for the new certificate, which should be then ready for him in his own name. Notice would then be given to the parties re sponsible for the issue and redemption of these bonds, and they would furnish to the Agency a genuine Indiana bond and destroy the illegal one. A new and genuine certificate w ould issue then fiom the Agency to the party who had surrendered the illegal one, for transfer. It is stated that by this arrangement, a rrry large number of these bonds was retired and destroyed. Some of the holders of the illegal bonds now insist that by the arrangement and concealment above stated, the State of Indiana recognized the bonds und is liable for them. They also insist that the Indiana officials who knew the facts and connived at the concealment, under the arrangement, are liable to indictment here, under the New York statute against conspiring to commit an offense; to defraud any person, A:c. The reply to that is, that the Indiana officers had no criminal intent in doing as thev did, biu the opposite. All unprejudiced persons here acquit them of any wrong motive. Their course, however, may furnish a defen-e to the parties indicted, that the bonds having been recognized by the State, are legal instruments. No doubt the whole matter will be fully investigated at the trial, which will take place in October next. Mr. Hallett has given bail, and Mr. Stover will do eo, it is said. The amount required is small, according to the statement in the llxpress, only $10,000. The attorneys engaged are Charles O'Connor, James T. Brady, John E. Burrill, Algernon S. Sullivan, and one or two others whose names 1 have not heard. Wabash. Another auff The New York Herald, in referring to the conduct of the members of the Cabinet who have charge of the management of tho war, speaks out plainly thus: We cannot expect this war to be" brought to a speedy and triumphant close with a foolh and fanatical politician at the head of the War Department, and au old imbecile at the head of the Navy, whose only distinguishing achievement has been the filling the pockets of Iiis family from the sweat and blood of the nation. The crisis demands a reformation in the War and Navy departments. Foreign intervention is nieu aced. These late tremendous struggles of our noble Potomac Army to save itself and the life of the country may suggest to England and France that the day for intervention has come. We should be fully prepared to meet it, und the Crst steps required in view of powerful and speedy reinforcements to our army, and a large increase of our irou clad ships and gunboats, is a chance in the War and the Navy depattmcnts. These changes have at length become essential, if the President would retain the undiminished confidence of the people in his sagacity, firmness and decision of character. In good faith, and in behalf of his Administration, upoii which the lo.-s or preservation of the country depends, we submit the whulc subject to his earliest attention. From the Cincinnat Trim Current of the 9th. Financial und Commercial .Summary for tlie lut Week. The demand lor money has increased somewhat, and the supply of currency being light, the money maiket has not been so easy. The propo sition to tax the notes of banking institutions, which has been made in Congress, has induced caution on the part of bankers, and they are, no doubt, retiring their circulation, in order to be prepared for the tax, incase it should beimpored, which is quite probable, we think; because it w ill become sootier or later a measure of absolute necessity, as we have heretofore stated, to protect the National currency aud the people. The bill authorizing the additional issue of Treasury Notes haj not yet passed Congress, but it will be passed the present week; the difficulty between the Hou.-e and Senate is, what amount of it should be in small notes; the Senate wanting it fixed at twenty-five millions, and the House nt fifty millions.

A negro boy, a bound apprentice to the Hon. Mr. Mace, formerly a member of Congress from this State, has been persuaded to break his indentures and run away to Canada, by a malignant philanthropist who abducted him. The boy was arrested after his flight, but taken from the hands of the Marshal by a mob, and urged on his flight. Mr. Mace gives the following history of the transaction: My family became acquainted with the father and mother of the boy Henry in Washington in lc5G both free persons. My little son also became acquainted with Henry, aud, being near the same age, they became greatly attached to each other. Fiually, it was agreed by all concerned, that we should take Henry and bring him to Indiana, and keep him until he should be tw enty one years of age. I insisted, for the sat isfaction of Henry's father, that he should be bound to me under the laws of the District of Columbia, in due form, which was done. The agreement was drawn by an attorney of Henry's father's own selection, and stipulated that he boy was to stay with me till he was twenty one years of age, that I was to find clothes, and take care ot hi in, &u., Fend him to school, and cause him to learn to read and write, and when he be came tWjftty-one I was to give him a One suit of clothes, horse, saddle and bridle, with one hun dred dollars and fotty acres of land. By this contract Henry lived with me, contented and happy, till recently abducted by the base old wretch who had charge of him when the mob speeded him from Detroit to Canada. The treat ment of Henry while he lived in my family can be learned by inquiring of any of my neighbors 111 this city. 1 lie poor boy lias been deprived ol a comlortable home, and can nov lead a vaga bond life in Canada, to, I presume, the extreme gratification of the old wretch that abducted him and the mob that aided him across the Detroit river. Henry is a good, honest bov. He took none of his clothes with him, only w hat he wore away, and if any true friend of huminitv will inform me of hi whereabouts 1 will send them to him. In your city 1 need no special reference, as many of vour citizens know me. You are at liberty to publish this note in any or all of your papers. Respectfully yours, Da.mll Mace. fSpeeiul INotiee.

LOFTLN On tbe 7th of June, 1HC2, Joseph Loftin, Sr. aged C4 years. Thus has passed away another of the pioneers of Indiana, a:i honest man and a venerated citizen. His life of usefulness was t-pent in our inid.-t. For thirty-four years he w as a resident of Pike township, Marion county. He was an active and etiterpriMiig man, foremost among tho exertinjr themselves for tbe benefit of the community in which he lived. He was a man of benevolent impul.ses, and from bis abundance none were turnt d away empty. He was generous almost to a fault, liberal and large-hearted in his views of things. He could forgive a neighbor's fault; be could deal leniently and kindly w irb all, and was only critical w 1th reference to himself to the end that he might walk uprightly in tbe face of Heaven and before all men. Known intimately by all his neighbors, living before their eyes without concealments, such a man could not but be esteemed and respected. He was a man of intelligence, too, and of s and judgment, and taking a great intcreot iu current affairs, his intluence was felt and acknowledged by those with whom he was brought in immediate contact.
