Wo had a long and free conversation with one of tbo principal citirens of Winchester, who left that place on Tues day 'ast. He is a strong Union man, though ba has nephews in the rebel army. He says Johnston's command at Winchester at no time exceeded 12,000 men, and his whole foroe, including outposts at Martins burg and all ther pluces, never exceeded 18,000, of which 3,000 were inefficient from sickness and want of arms and equip ments. He ha 1 this, not only fiom his personal observation and tho testimony of bis nephews, but from General Johnston's own statement at the time. He said that Winchester w mid have welcomed Palter on with open arms, ard that J bnston would not have fought a battle there, as his orders were peremptorily to retire to Manassas if followed by our army. He stated that tie militia of Winchester would have sided with Patterson, and were hoping and praying for his arrival daily At the present moment there are no troops at Winchester but i s own militia, and half of these are poorly armed, and many not armed at all. This gentleman still retains fealty to tbe Union, but says that Patter son's course has alienated manv who wonld hare welcomed and aided a bold and deci sive advance. General Johnston expresses freely his contempt for what he styles Patterson's cowardice. The story about sixty-oight guns fit Winchester is all a fudge. Tbey had but fifteen, all told, at any period. N. Y. Tribune, Wash. Cor. Corruption In Goverr merit Contracts There sro coustaat rumors about the man ner in which the Government is swindled in tba matter of contracts for the supplies for tbe army. Soma of them are, withtut doubta gross exngerstions, while others are well founded. The Commsrcicsl Bulletin men (ions one case, wbicti prodably is but a type of others, in which a Government clerk at tempted to use the Information which ha ob ained in tha department to which ha was atttached, for bis benefit. The Bulletin says 'No longer sgo than Monday of this week a clerk from ons of ihs depirtmmts at Mash- ngton entered a wholesale boot and shoe store in Boston and gave information of what was to be wantad some time hence, and offered to give the contract to this firm in advance (or a consideration of threo hundred dollars down, and a commission on the gross amount of the contract when furnished. In due course of time the proposals for this con tracts will be published. A hundred bids will H sent in, nine-tj-nine of thei by re sponsible parties acting in good faith the hundred h Is a mere matter of form, to ward off suspicion. Each one of the ninety nine that do not get it will charge Indiscriminately dishoneatv upon his competitors, while Gov eminent, that could have the articlo st the lowest price is, under the pretense of airneas. paying exoibitant cbarges." Boston Courier.j More Heavy Ordinance For Fremont Shortly after the close of the Mexican war, among a lot of heavy ordnance cast at the Fort Pitt works, were sixteen ainsMnch navy guns, which ware never removed, the models being subsequently altered. These guns bave since been stored in tha yard a the works, and on tbe breaking out of the war, when an inroad Irom the South was cosidered possible' if not probably, they were freely tendered in defense of tbe city, but tbe offer was never considered. The activity which has latelr been infused into branches of the service has created a demand for all tbe ordnance which could be produced, and in formation having bean given the Department in regard to this lot of guns, an order was at once telegraphed to put them in serviceable condition, and ship them to St Louis' Gen. Fremont will soon be in a con-di tion to laugh at any force the freebooters f the Southwest can bring sginst him. Pittsburg Dispatch. Gin. Wool Ordbrid to Fort Monro-. We understand, on the most undoubted authority, that Major General John E. Wool received orders yesterday to report himself for daty immediately at Fortress Monroe, forjthe purpose, undoubtedly, of assuming command of that important position.Tbe country will be elad to learn tba thia reteran soldier will be henceforth a lively engaged in the great work of crush-' ing out the eonspiracy against the Tederal an thoritp. Albany Journal. " Ti Const It will be recollected that several distinguished astronomers announ ced, from their calculations of the orbit o ih. comet lately tisible, that 1'. must have been a brilliant object in tbe southern heme isbbere before making its appearanoa in our skies. We now learn from the Pannama Star that its first appearance in Lima, twe've degrees south of the equator, was en the 10th Julr, while it was first seen here on tbe 10th of June. Dr. Livingston has been beard from as late as April 5. He had then been making an exploration of the river Rovuma with Bishop McKensie. The Trnp 8et br the Rebels. Tbs Washington correspondent of the N. T. World -relates tbe following, which must be received with many grains of allowance.Aa English officer ,wbo arrived in Washington to-day, asserts that he met one of General Johnston's aids in New York on Sunday snd that he personally knew him lo he such. The rebel spy for he was nothing else told the Englishman that Messrs. Da' vis, Beauregard, Lee St Co., considered their viotory at Bull Run a defeat, la comparison with what they expected and ought to have made it. They had their lines so skillfully arranged as to draw us within and beyond their flanks to catch us in the most deadly kind of trap, attack us withshol and muske try, and horse, from every side at once, and enforce a wholesale surrender of the "grand army of tha Patomao." Tbey had been fight Ing, he sys, all d.y, in such wise as merely to indicate a determined defence, an! by a gradual retreat had nearly lured us intode sired poisition, when all their plan was de Tes ted by the mistaken enthusiasm of Col. Kir by Smith. That officer brought on the rail road reinforcements from Winchester, and 'nstead of going straight to tbe junction, as bad been positively ordered by Beauregard, he s'opped the cars near tha battle field,- formed his men in solid squares, and marched super bly to the ground. This was the reserve which our tired (orces saw coming aganst them, and before which they retreated in time to escape the suare laid for them. John-ston.s aid affirmed that Smith was in high disfavor for bis error which was the only movement that saved the federal amy. T:io Blockade. Sims weoks ago the New York Times published in what purported to be a letter from Pensacola, a circumstantial abstract of orders said to have been issued by Admiral Milne to the British vessels on our coas', defining with a stringency and precision unhearn of before, what the British Government considered an efficient block ade, the strict maintenance of which was simply s physical impossibility. We now notice that there was no foundation what ever for the statement in the Times, as will be seen by a letter from Admiral Milne, who is at Halifax, recently written to the British Consul at Bcston, in which the following passage occurs I see a long article in some of the pa pers and extracts from a letter from For' Pickens, alluding te orders I had given; all I can aay is, that it is n.t my version of blockade, nor my orders on the sub ject." Incidents of the Fight. New and startling incidents of war are daily coming to light. During one of the charges of the Fire Zouaves upon the Mississippi Rifles, a Fire Zouave and a Missis-sippian came in contact, both with discharged rifles. Each drew his revolver. 'Blaze away Mississippi, I'll take the last shot." ssid the Zouave. The Mississippi an did blnze away and missed, when the Fire Zouave fired tbe shot, going through the heart of the Mississippian, killing him instantly. Mrs. Katy Bronwell, daughter of the First Rhode Island Regiment, accompanied the regiment to Bull's Run. She was fired at a good many times, but escaped injury. One man in his determination to kill her, pursued her for some distance, when she turned and shot him dead, and fleeing to tbe woods, escaped. Her husband is also safe . Reliable information has been received here that a cannon ball from our batteries passed through the dining room of Beauregard's headquarters at the first Bull's R n fight. It was just at the opening of the fight, and came near proving disastrous to him. Ax Untiuclt Widdino Afproacbinq A wedding is on the tapis in New York, which excites much gossip. Tbe Nestor of Presbyterian clergymen, an octcgena rian In years, but a widower of only a few months, is i bout to marry a maiden of at least half a century of age, with solid chirms amounting to about $200,000. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, one would be tempted to apply this oase the old phrase about "Winter lingering in the lap of Sprino." The Washingt c correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes: The Pres. ident is very firm. To all who despair of putting down the rebellion he says, "Remember thet it is just as necessary to con quer the rebels to dictate decent terms of separation as it is for preserving tbe Union. If we were to stop fighting now the rebels would dictate just suoh terms as they shal' see fit. There would be no living with them in peace" The Courier says that its friends.though defeated -again and again, will renew their straggles, Well, we guess they will gfl tired of getting whipped as soon as we shall of whipping them. We are not fatigued in the least yet. Louisville Journal. The French public are now quite enthusiastic over a new Yankee idea tbe noiseless sewing machine which has been introduced to them by an enterprising American bouse just established in the Faubonrg Montmatre. Kentuoky Election J.J O. Breoken ridge. Time and again has Kentucky been claimed as a State given over to Secession It has been the burden of many an unin spired prophecy that she was only biding her time to go off like a rocket secession wards. What a glorious record of refutation she h a just made. In her election of the fi'h of August the Ballot Box pronounced her thunderword of condemnation against those ptltry tricksters of the hour, whose political game bas been staked upon the phrenzied attempt to shove the brave oil commonwealth over tbe precipice of Disunion. Her sweepinar majority of Sixtt Thousand in favor of the Union, for the C institution that our Fathers gave us, for the Integrity of our Government and the supremacy of its Laws, has smitten a more slunninc blow npon the vrunting crest of (secession than coul 1 bave Deen inmcteu by as many thousand batteries of artillery For it is moral power that speaks the om nipotence of a sovereign people It is the tocsin that will summon freemen and patriots everywheie lo their posts as the eustodia is of free institutions; and is, at the same time, the leath knell of Kentucky's domestic treason. Paoroeio Iroriasi or thi Rxbil Armt. It is understood in official circles, says the Dispatch, that the Secretary of War, the Hon. L. Pops Walker, has re- oommended to Cangress an addition to tbe Southern army of about threo hundred and fifty regiments, or suah a number as, odded to the force already organized, will make an aggregate of five hundred and sixty regiments. Entrusting each regi ment at a thousand men, this will give a force of five hundred and sixty thousand men, rank and file. Tbe white population of the Confederate States being, in round nmmbers, five millions six hundred thousand souls, the proposed army would amount to just ten per cent, of the whole, or one soldier to every ten white people. Richmond Enquirer-' General, late Colonel Keliy of Wheel- ng, is now in co mmand at Uratton, bavins succeeded Gen. Hill, whose safe re turn to peaceful Ohio was duly chronicled in our telegraph column a day or two ago The new General is taking measures to prevent the unrestricted passage, of spi es over the B. & O. Rtilroad, which has la,ely given rise to so much just corn- pi aint. Cin. Gazette. Increased Pay for the Army. The bill reported by Mr. Wilson, from the committee on Military Affairs in the Senate, to increase the pay of thenon-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates of the regular army , has been passed. By this law the pay will be increased $4 per month for three years, the rrivates pay ill therefore be a' the rate of $15 per month, instead of $1 1 . In additiou to this are the $100 bounty, and suoh land appro priations for military service as Congress shall grant. This is right. When the pay was fixed at $11 per month, the expense of living, dec., that would be required whew men had families, was fully tba', much less per menth than the present amount. Still, just though it was, Breckenridge. Kennedy, Polk, Powell and Saulsbury, the avowed "Seoeshers" of the Senate, voted aoaisst thc bill! Good soldiers well paid don'' suit their aristocratic fancy. O. 8. Journal.Thb Firs ZooaVBs. Assistant Engin eers Baulch and Brice, of the Fire Department, have been here exerting them; selves to indjee the members of the Fire Zouaves who were lying about the city to return to their regiment. They met with little success. These deserters for the most part, were not members of the Fire Department, but of the riff raff who loaf about the engine houses. Nearly all the 6remen proper are still in camp, determined to remain until the period of their enlistment transpires. Wash. Cor. N. Y. Times.
