Since the New Albany Ledger, and one or two other professed Democratic papers, and the Marshall County Republican, have formed a mutual admiration society, it might be well enough for the Ledger, which professes to be more Democratic than erer before, to read and treasure up the follow ing extract from the Republican of the 14th inst. The Ledger hai teen givinj aid comfort to the enemies of the party, by denouncing the Stare Central Committee, for calling a State Convention at the usual lime of holding it, and misrepresenting the motives of every Democrat within its knowledge who expressed an opinion favorable to the action of the Committej; and while doing thit has been complimented and quoted by the Republican press, as a valuable accession to their ranks. The Ledger will doubtless feel comfortable under the castration of its new misters; hut it must bear with patience the severe inflictions incident to its liew associations, as the abolitionists will doubtless think that it will be necessary to crack a great mny such nuts as the one which one of its coadjutors throws it in the extract below from the Republican, to bring it to a moderate state of purification, after a life-Ion; connection with that ' rotten party, that ' effete organisation, ' which stinks in the no-itrils which is ' the syn onym of hypocrisy, infamy and treason,' .

and which is dsinatad by su:h aa in- j pattern, which service cost 3,000 and upfamom name: s Democrat has become ward, and being the finest ever made in We have emphasized some portions ofj the West, took the premium at the State

the extract which we desire the Ledger man to swallow without a grimace: We agree with the Ledger that there is threat danger that the I democratic party will be made the instrument of inflicting greater evils than ever btrfore upon the country. It has been the mean?, while professing to be in favor of a gold and silver currency, of flooling the land with worthlest ahin-plaiters. It was made the instrument of breaking down the Missouri,! compromise, and causing all the agitation that ensued on the slavery question. It was the medium by which the rebellion was promoted and encouraged, and what more fitting act to crown Its career of in j fumy, outrage, Lypocrisy xx& injustice for it to become the apologist of treason? The better way is for every patriot to abandon the old rotten party, and annthi late the effete Organization root and branch. It has commuted so many outrage and rrimes that it stints in the nostrils of every honest man not blinded by party prejudice. Its very name has become the fynonym of ftyptrity, infamy and treason. Then whr should not everv patriot abandon it? Patriots cannot unite in an organization designated by such an infamous name as Democrat has become. The very thought sic lens our soul." To the Public. It is found that doubts exist in the rainds of many, whither the contributions that have been solicited, and are now gathering, for the troopj in the field will raach their destination safily and seasonably. In order to dispel that doubt, the Undersigned gives notice that whenever a sufficient quantity of gool l.a. accumulated at his Department, they will be sent to the regiment needing them in charge of a trusty messenger, who will attend in person to their distribution among the troops. This arrangement, it is believed, is worthy the attention of the donors, and forms an inducement to them to send their gifts to this Department for distribution, as the turest way of effecting that object. Small parcels sent singly into distant States, are liable to be overlooked or lost altogether. It is a significant fact thai no army goods shipped by this Department have yet failed to reach their destination duly and safely. Equal, and if possible greater care will be taken to insure a safe transit of the liberal gitts of the soldiers' friends. The undersigned begs all concerned to bear in mind the "Directions." relativ to packing and marking goods, published a few days since. Th courteiy of the prest throughout the Suta is again requested in behalf of the present notice. J. II. V A J EN, Q. M. 0. Indianapolis, Oct. 21, 1861. A queer pear tree is said to be owned by C. C. Gove, of Nashua, N. H., it having bloomed and borne three times last year, and twice the present. Can any one blame the fertility or industry of this vegetable ptirreyor of pears ?

The Congressional Investigating Committee. The public are aware that a: the last session of Congress an investigating- ccmraittee was created, whose duties are prescribed in the resolutions which we pub lish below. This committee is composed of the following members : Hon. Charles Van Wyck, of New York; lion. Eliiiu B. Washburne, of Illinois; Hon. Wm. S. Holman, of Indiana; Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, of New York; Hon. Henry L. Lawes, of Massachusetts; Hon. Wm. G. Steele, of New Jersey; lion. J. S. Jackson, ol Kentucky; Hon. Edward M. Ball, Sergeant-at-Arras of the House, accompanied the committee, and T. T. Andrews Esq., Stenographer, as chief clerk. A prut of the committee Messrs. Washburne, Holman, Davies and Steele, with the Sergeant at-Arms and Clerk repaired to St. Louis to inquire into the condition of aflaira in the Departmeut of the West. They have been in session in that city since the 10th ol October- fourteen days--woiking twelve hours each day, and ex amining one hundred and twenty. three witnesses. The manuscript of evidence, on legal cap, numbers 2.480 pages. In giving an abstract of the testimony which is so voluminous, we propose only to give apartbezring on the different heads of fraud, as summed up in the committed report. The entire testimony has been s?nt to Washington to be laid before Congress at its next session. The synopsis we publish is a faithful abstract of the evidence before the committee, although many of the minor details have been omitted. The first act of fraud was the presenta tion to Mrs. Brigadier General McKinstry, on tha 20th of September, of a complete sett of silver service, of the Jenny Lind Agricultural Fair held in Sf.. Louis. This service was presented by parties exclusively interested in Government Contracts. among whom were Mjor Solover, Leonidas Haskell, John M. Crum, E. L. Beard, of California, and others. Geu. McKinstry was Quartermaster General of the Western Department by appointment of Major Gen. J. C. Fremont, and as such Quartermaster General, controlled the horse and mule contracts, building of barracks, and all supplies and purchases appertaining to that Department. The com mittees in their report 6ay, "The frauds in COntiaci in the Quartermaster's Depart . , , , , , "re numerous and have been clearly proven and extend through all branches of his control and supervision." In relation to the purchase of horses the second act of fraud th testimony is extensive as to the vaiioua species of imposition practiced, the "old English jockey trick," as they are called, being ii. this Cse of the lesser magnitude. A party contracts to furnish 1,000 head of hörnt, at 8119 50 per head, to the Governmeht through the Quartermaster. The contractor's agent, who is approved by the Quartermaster las charge of the field where the contractor's horses are to be passed upon. A countryman, having I horses to sell to the Government, pys $10 enteranoe-fee to the field, where his horses are examined, and upon the payment of another fee of 810, they are recommended to the contractor, who purchases the same at the very lowest figures which throughout the entire evidence, never exceeded, 885 and 890 per head. The contractor takes his purchases to the Inspector, who is also reimbursed by a fee. which amount is computed according to the quality of the animal. The contractor, on obtaining a certificate from the Inspector, demands the money of the Quartermaster, who pays the same, when the Lonus for said payment is guaranteed. The evidence discloses several schemes and many other ways in which horses and mules are obtained. The testimony also shows that the horses, in a majority of instances, are of the most inferior kind, and have broken down or fell dead on the road. Around the depots where horses were kept thus purchased, numbers of dead carcasses have been found. Omnibus and stage horses have been trotted out, 4 full of bran and peppered,' by contractors, who recieved 8115(3:140 for each horse they furnished. One of the recent reports of Boards of Survey will suffice in giving the character of horses the Government furnished to regiments upon the requisition of their commanding officer. Other similar reports the committee have on file : Camp Sci.livan. Warsaw Oct. 21, 6l. To Col. Wm. Bishop : The undersigned having been summoned, as a board of survey, to examine and inspect the condition of the horses forwarded to this regiment from St. Louis and report the rrsult I to yonr headquarter, would respectfully

report that we have examined aid horses and find ecventy-six 76 fit for service, five 5 dead, nnd three hundred aöd thirty 330 undersized, under and over aged, stifled, rlngboned, blind, spavined, and incurably unfit for any public service,

said horses being a part of the Missouri contract. Very respectfully, (Signed) DAVID McKEE. Major, GEO. ROCKWELL, Captain, JOHN SCHEE, Lieutenant. The committee also Lave n evidence that United States District Attorney Jones was associated with Messrs. Thompson and Bowen in the purchase of horses and mules, their contract being at 8119 50 each horse. Bowen Fold out to Thon:pon and Jones for 85,000, payable in bankable funds. Thompson went to McKinstry for payment on horses Messrs. Thompson and Jones had furnished, and wat told that "another party was interested in this horse business, and unless the 85,000 in gold was deducted by Messrs. Thompson and Jones, none cf the money coulJ be paid.' The 85,000 was kept by McKinstry, and the remainder paid over to Thompson and Jones. Under this head of fraud, the committee have testimony of over half a million of dollars sunk in pay contracts. The Quartermaster paid 817 50 per ton for hay in bales which on examination is found to be prairie grass, and hay of a very poor quality. The cost of transportation between St. Louis and Sedalia, is about 88 per ton, or 835 per ton delivered at Sedalia. The committee have accumulated evidence that fresh hay fiom the stack; and in abundance along the entire route to Warsaw, can be obtained at S68 per ton. In Government wagons, the evidence shows that large numbers are here without any owners until after they have been pressed into the service, and then the builders present their claims. A majority of these wagons are unfit for service. The axles, reach, bolsters, spokes, hubs, Ac, are found to have been cracked, and the cracks filled with putty, and painted over where the fraud was patent. Several of the wagons were condemned. The committee will report ti.at a number of the wagons thus received by the Quartermaster and his agent have broken down before the army had proceeded far, and that all the wagons will be useless after a few weeks service. The third act of fraud is in the building o of fortifications at St. Louis. On the 15th oj August, Colonel Hassendeubel, by order cf Gen. Fremont, engineered and surveyed the peinta within the limits of St. Louis for the erection of eleven 11 forts. Under Major H's superintendence five 5 were built directly for the Government, without any intervening contractor. The wages of the laborers were 60 cents each per day, and the coPt of each fortification not to exceed 810,000. On the 25th of September, when General Fremont knew that the forts, completed, cost 810.000 each. Quartermaster General McKinstry, per order of Gen. Fremont made a contract with E. L. Beard, of California, to build 6 additional forts for the Government, simi lar in all respects to the 5 constructed by Col. Hassendeubel, agreeing to pay 45 cts. per cubic yard for all excavations 55 cts. per cubic yard for the smame dirt excavated upon the bank of the fort and forming the embankment; for all puddled earth 90 cents per cubic yard; paving walks with brick or stone, floors of blockhouses, kc, 81 per square yard; for cistern, 25 cents per cubic gallon of 231 inches, arched with brick, crown and cement; lumber and timber to be measured in the building, 8100 per 1.000 feet; for facines and breastworks required on the work, 81 per cubic foot, and for roofing all the buildings with three ply roofs 84.50 per square of 100 superficial feet. The total coit of the six fortifications figures upward of 8300,000, upon which Mr. Beard has received $170,000. An additional payment of an order for 860,000 from öen. Fremont was stopped by the Secretary of War when in St. Louis. The evidence sets forth that notwithstanding Beard has received already three times the original :ost of the werk, the laborers are clamorous at the Government officers for their pay. The items of the cost of forts, as proven by other forts built, and the evidence of master mechanics, put the figures, vti, 10 cts. per cubic yard for excavations and embankments; puddled earth 35 cts.; paving, Ac, 40; cisterns, tfcc, 30; lumber and timber 84050 per 1,000 feet; facines and breastworks f5(ft. 40c; roofing 812,50, and total cost of six fortifications not over 860,000. Tho contract for fortifications wa9 drawn up per order of Gen. Fremont. The contract is regarded by the committee as irregular and informal, except that it provides that "no member of Congress shall be interested in tho said contract." The contract is in part irregular, for the reason that according to tho regulations of the depart-

Jment, the Quartermaster only can make

contracts of this kind. The fourth act of fraud is the house rent, first in the palatial mansion of Mrs Colonel Brant, cousin of Mrs. Jessie Fremont, rented to Gen. Fremont for headquarters of Majoi General, his private Secretary and Chief of Staff, at the rate of 86,000 per annum. Other palatial mansions in the neighborhood are rented at -imilar rates, and occupied for offices of members of the staff. Large and expensive barracks have been built it: the immediate vicinity, as quarters for accomodation of the Fremont Body Guard, numbering 600 men. The barracks will accommodate 2,500 men. The cost of t'iese barracks and Benton Barracks, capacious enough t date 40,00 men, will be about 8150,000 double the amount necessary to erect precisely similar buildings. In the roofing of these buildings, which is upward of 5,000 squares of 100 superficial feet, the committer have discovered much fraud. The contract provides that the roof shall be three ply, nnd put on with felt and soaked in hot tar, and in a substantial, and durable manner. The Commmittee have evidence that the superintendent and architect, A. B. Ogden, received a dratt of 8700 on General McKinstry from Clapp k Co. provided he (Ogden) would obtain the contract for them at their bid, which was 83,50 per square of 100 superficial feet. A Mr. King, under oath, testifies that he gave Ogden a draft on McKinstry for 81,' 500 for his services in getting him the contract for 83,25 per square. To each of these Ogden promised the contract. The work was awarded to Almen Thompson at 83.50 but whether any bonus was given does not appear. The Committee find that Thompson sold the contract for advance of 83.000, and that tho party doing the work only put on one-ply roof, and that with felt dipped in cold tar. In a few places there were only two plys. The facta were obtained by cutting into the roof at various points. It is also in testimony that there were responsible bids at 82 for tins same work. Another fraud was in the contracting c with E. V. Fox for the manufacture of picket pins at 45 cents each, when Thomas Hood, a blacksmith with good security, bid for the same at 25 cents per pin the number to be made. 50.000 pins. Also to Fox and others, camp kettles at 35 cts. when there were bids at 20 cents, nails, axes, spikes, ic, at similar rates. Saddles that were rejected by the Quarter, master were purchased by Fox at low figures and sold to McKinstry at increased rates. The building of sundry tug boats and chartering of several steamers at double their cost and value, particularly the chartering of sundry boats belonging to the Keokuk Packet Company, have been gone into at length, and much imposition found to exist. The tugboats are being built at a cost of 88,500 each, when they ought to be bu'.lt at 84.500 each. Other frauds in purchase of oats, clothing blankets, tents, fcc;the issuing of trans porlation tickets and paying of employes in uncurrent funds such as the Union Rank and Bank of St. Louis, 35 cents discount instead of Government funds, Arc, are fully in evidence before the Committee, but all on a par with those given above. No frauds were found in the Commissary Department, but the report of the (Committee will exhibit the transac lions of tho other departments in an exCodd.ngly unfavorable light. As the California Contractors are alleged by the Committee with being largely interested in many of these contracts, we give their names: Joseph Palmer, of the firm of Palmer, Cook Sc Co., Leonidas Haskell. E. L. Bread, Major Sclover, of the firm of Selover it Sintern, Real Estate Auctioneers and I. C. Woods, manager of the Adams' Express Company. Throe of these gentlemen are living in St. Louis in fine style, and two are on Fremont's staff. The committee could have continned their investigations further, but they believe they have sufficient evidence, nnd have gone to Cairo to examine a few witnesses there. They will then visit Louis ville and Cincinnati, and take evidence of any frauds existing in tho departments of those cities. avnl Kxpetfltlon Int nnd Ireent. The New York World compares our Southern Naval expedition, which num. bers eighty vessels an! thirty thousand soldiers, exclusive of laborers., dcu., wth the gi eat fleets of former times. The Spanish Armada against England numbered one hundred and tweoty-seren vessels, twenty thousand soldiers, and eleven thousand sailors. The Spanish vessels were little more than boats. So the expedition of Chatles V. to Tunis numbered 500 Genoese and Spanish vessels, but carried only twenty thousand men. That

of Peter the Great upon the Caspian Sea numbered two hundred ard seventy ships.

but only twenty thousand men. The expedition of Gustavus Adolphus to Germany numbeied fifteen or eighteen thousand men ; that of Jussuf against Carada, thirty thousand; that of Kionperti against the sam stronghold, fifty thousand; that of Charles XII upon Denmark fifty thousand. Hoche, in his attempted descent upon Ireland, counted twenty-five thousand men. Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt consisted of twenty -three thousand men, with thirteen ships, seventeen frigates, and fourteen hundred transports. Abercrombie's expedition to Egypt numbered twenty thousand men ; Cathcart'a to Copenhagen, twenty-five thousand ; Wellington's to Portugal fifteen thousand men. and to Spain thirly thousand. Bonaparte's contemplated expedition, in which preparation were made for throwing a hundred and fifty thousand disciplined veterans upon England, by means of three thousand pinnaces, protected by sixty ships of the line, is not entitled tobe brought into comparison, inasmuch as it was never carried out. The English expedition against Washington numbered eight thousand, and against New Orleans fifteen thousand. The French expedition against Algiers thirty thousand. The United States expedition, under General Scott, against Mexico, twelve thousand. The Hebel Loss ut Ilatterns. Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. Hatteras, Oct. 28. Tho loss of the enemy at the battle of Cape Hatteras, which was fought on the 5lh inst., between the war-steamer Monticello, Lieut. Brain commanding, and the land forces of the Confederates, proves to be tar more eerious than was at first supposed. The dead bodies of the euemp's slain, which are continually washing ashore, more than confirms the first report of their loss, and which, presenting a horrible spectacle to the eye, forcibly reminds us of the terrible slaughter of the foe on that eventful day. Some of the citizens of the itland, who we"e in the hands of the Confederates as prisoners, and who weie obliged to work all night after the battle in assisting to gather up the enemy's dead and wounded, report great numbers of wounded, most of whom were in a dying condition when carried on boart? the Confederate fleet, which lay off in the Sound, and they think the enemy's loss has been under-estimated. These bodies which are drifting ashore are those that were in the cotton barges which contained the enemy that were attempting to land when they were blown Up by ait shells, sent at wem by Lieut. Brain, of the Montecello, who is doubtless the most expert cannoneer in the navy. It would be surprising if thsir loss was not very severe, when we take into consideration their position. They were on a narrow neck of land, not more than three fourths of a mile wide, entireir barren, without an obstacle in the way, marching down in solid columns, until they arrived at the point where the remainder of their force were effecting a landing, some three or four thousand altogether. when the Montecello came up on the ocean side, and with her heavy guns opened a broadside of grape and shells one after another in rapid succession, making day light visible at every discharge through this dense mass, who were completely hemmed in with no available means of es cape. Like a terror-stricken crowd on a burning steamer, they would persist in clustering together in their insane fright. while the shells and grape were mowii.g them down. From 3 o'clock in the after noon until nightfall were the enemy ob iiged to receive this raking fire with no chance of evading it, so yoa can form something of an idea what their loss must have been. Private O'Haver, sin escaped prisoner, estimates their loss at 1,000. Tli!iiikKlYlng Day. To ths People of Indiana: Thursday, the 28th day of November 1861, is hereby appointed a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, and the people of the State of Indiana are earnestly requested on that day to lay aside their ordinary pursuits and assemble in their respective churches and at their family altars, and return thanks to Almighty God for the bountiful blessings he has bestowed upon them during the past year. Let them pray that our national troubles may pass away ; that the Union may be restored, and Government preserved ; that our armies may bo victorious in the field, and our soldiers preserved from death and safely returned to their families and friends ; that tne people of the South may be restored to their right minds and awakened to a sense of the awful crime they have been committing, and the fearful consequences they are seeking to entail upon themselves and their posterity.

Waiting li- tho i. ST IL8INX MAV. Dsj in the cold, gray East is breaking; Fades the shadowy form of night; Earth from midnight dreams is waking, Kiised by morning's trembling Iif;ht. Earth has slept, but on ray pillow, Restle, tossing, slept not I; But like a rtstlens ocean billow, Watched the long, dark night go by. Heard it lengthened hours low counted, As they drifted slowly by; Watched the stars that elowly mounted, Then stole dowu the rounded iky. Heard the rushing night- hid blowing, Through the trees a wailing blast, Till the wakeful barnfowl, crowing. Hailed the mom's approach at last. Will the darker nij;bt that frownin'. Falls to darkly o'er but me. With no starry concave crowning Its dark form, uplifted be? Will e'er a bright aurora teeming With the gleams of coming day. E'er upon this life light beaming. Shed a hopeful, cheering ray? O, night of wo and pain and sorrow, Fade as fades this lingering night! Cone, O gleam of brighter morrow, Tell me of approaching light! The Empty Cradlo. In the still quiet chamber. There's an empty cradle bed, With a print upon the pillow Of a baby's shin ag head. 'Tis a fair and daintv cradle; Downy, soft, the pillows white. But within the blankets folded. Lies no little form to-night. Once the mother sat beside it, When the day was growing dim, And her pleasant voice was singing Soft and low, a cradle hymn. Now there's no more need of singing, When the evening shadows creep. For the cradle-bed is empty. And the baby gone to sleep. Little head that ued to nestle In the pillows white and soft; Little hands whose restless fingers Folded there in dreams so oft; Lips we pressed with fondest kiusee, Eyes wc praised for purest ray, Underneath the church-yard daisies They have hid you allawiy. Ah, the empty, useless cradle!' Wc will put it out of sight, L.est our hearts should grieve too orc! r For theTlittle one to-night. We will think how safe forever.

Major General Buell leaves for Kentucky to-rriorroir. General Halleck will take command in Missouri nett week. Several leading merchants of Baltimore waited upon the President to-day, and solicited employment for Baltimore mechanics. Three more schooners have run the blockade of the Potomac, and are now un. loading their cargoes at the fiaty-yard. General Heintzelman made a reconnoissance in force, in the direction of Accotink and Pohick Church, early this morning. Two rebel regiments were at Pohick yesterdajr. Official advices from Europe, jttsl re ceived, show a strengthening of the belief in a restoration of the Union, and increased confidence in the ability of the administration to re establish its authority. The news from England is especially gratifyiög. Th ere is still a prospect of a general exchange of prisoners, although no definite arrangements are yet made. The administration will act with promptness in maintaining any success the expedition may have achieved. Secrecy is still observed in the departments relative to present or prospective movements of the expedition. The inle i:ieetlons. Pennsylvania gives 40,000 Democratic majority. Last fall 80.000 for the Republican ticket. Democratic gain 120,000. New Jersey elects a Democratic maj. in each branch of the Legislature, and gives a large majority on the popular vote. Last fall it gave a majority ot lis electoral vote to President Lincoln. In Wisconsin a part of the Democratic Slate ticket, and perhaps 11 of it. elected. The Democrats may have tlis House of Assembly. Lincoln's majority last fall 21,000. Democratic gaiu 2,000 or 23,000. In Illinois two thirds of the Constitu tional Convention Democratic. Last fall the Republicans oanied both branches ol the LisUtttre, and. give President Lin coln 12.000 rnajoiiiy. In New York and Ohio the Republicans are uttftly dniir:tlized ;tn broken up in organization. In the first named State the

Democrats have largely increased their strength in the Legislature. Irr Massachusetts the Republican vote has fallen off about 40,000 since last year, while the Democratic vote is nearly at it was thee. These results indicate that one of the Rjost remarkable and decided political revolutions ever witnessed in the countrv it in progress.
