T ERMS-DAIl.Y. pf-snnan, ? - - - OQ ilJ TRI WEEKLY, per lir ram, - < ><> WEEKLY, per unnuro, - - - 1 IJ ?WHEELING. V A THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1858. The Reports ox the Sai.e of Four Snei.lisu ?Hon Jno. B. Floyd. ?W'u received, by yester day's mails, from Hon. Sherranl Clemens, a copy of the minority report c'rawn up by Messrs. Faulkner and Unmet, on the subject of the alleged fraudulent Wile of L*ort Snelling. 1'ort Snelling, as probably most of our readers know, is a government [fortress near St. Paul, in the State of Minnesota, and has been used as a supply depot in our difficulties with the North Western Indians. Inasmuch as hut few demands have ot 4ate been made upon it on ac count of its remoteness from the scenes ol hos tile demonstrations, it has been adjudged hy our Secretary of War, Hon. Jno. TV Floyd, as with in the subjects or rightful bargain and sale by him. lie, therefore, acted upon this real or sup posed belief of his, and some months ago sold the fort, stock, lock and barrel, for some ninety odd thousand dollars, when its leal value was but little, if any, short of half a mil lion. It is shown that the fort could have brought at least four hundred thousand, had nim proper publicity been given that the sale was about to be made. Wo have given both sides of this question?that is, both the majority and minority reports, some degree of attention, anil we must say that the more we read and consid er on all the circumstances attending the incep tion and consummation of that sale, the more thoroughly are we impressed with the corrup tion of Hon; Jno. H. Floyd, the Secretary of War. This is a serious imputation to make upon a man who occupies so high a position, and who is reported to exercise so potent an influence iit the Kxccutive t.ouncils. lint still we must say that, take all the circumstan ces of tho case, together with Gov. Hovds known character, and the stigma of suspicion that attaches to this transaction cannot be easily explained. At least it has not been so fa" as we have yet seen. His two minority friends are not thought to have done it, so far as we can learn, either in the mind of Congress or of the public at large. It is a matter of so grave a character as to have seriously enlisted the investigations of the House of Hepresenta- 1 tjves?and we do hope that the matter will not , be allowed to drop. (Jov. Moyd stands now as a dark spot upon the administration s reputa- j (ion for common honesty?honesty, not in po- i litical discipline, for we believe that some allow : that a man may be morally honest yet political ly dishonest, but he stands forth to the gaze of the public as guilty of malfeasance ? as polluted bv a bribe. Certainly ho cannot think to put off the public as he sought to do the opinion of the Commander in Chief. If he ignores what Gen. Scott may think, as he professes to do, lie cannot so disregard the impressions ot the public. Sometime last summer, when public opinion was no little excited about this same matter, Gen. Thomas, who had been sent out by Gen. Scott, on official business, reported, as incident to his mission, upon the sale of Fort Snelling. This report was made by Gen. 1 'nomas to Gen. Scott, and by Gen. Scott transmitted to the W ar Department. It strongly condemned the sale and Gen. Scott endorsed the condemnation passed upon it. Sec. Floyd, it appears, on tiling this report wrote or caused to be written on it, ns a set olf to Gen. Scott's endorsement, the following: "This report is sufficiently clear in its state ment of facts connected with Indian tribes.? The dissertation about Fort Snelling, its sale, and the importance of it for a military depot, is u gratuitous intermeddling in a matter already disposed or hy competent authority. "Whatever may be the opinion of a 'military tnan' as to keeping up a military post in the heart of a settled country to bold Indians in subjection who roam through the forests many days'journey away from it, a man of common apprehension would conclude that the proper i-h.re f.r forts and troops was atnongxt the In dians to be held in subjection. \S lien the U oiled ?States army are set to 'cutting and stacking,' it is possible a still more eligible point may be selected for the purpose near to the Indian set tlements, where the troops would need those supplies." "When this department is required to report to 'subordinates' under what circumstances tho post at Fort Snelling was sold, or any other act was done, the duty shall be performed; but, until then, a 'military man' will probably un derstand that a superior in authority is not to be called on for an explanation of any order." What is to be thought of the petulant tone of these comments of the Secretary. He seems to have been in a rage that the keen sagacity , of the gallant Scott should have detected "some thing rotten in Denmark" in that sale. Rut we hope that Mr. Secretary Floyd will be taught that he cannot bluff off investigation or comment from the people. It wears tho face now of a high handed fraud, and as such it demands a most searching scrutiny. The majority of the Couitnilto appointed by Congress to report upon the subject, express their opinion as follows: Resolved, 1. That the sale of the military post of Fort Snelling, and so much of the reserva tion attached to it as was necessary for mili tary purposes, made on the Oth day ol June, 1857, under the authority of the Secretary ol War, the same being then and now retained under the authority of the department, because necessary to military purposes, was without authority of law. 2. The said sale was made by the Secreta ry of War notwithstanding bis knowledge of the official opinions of his predecessor, the Hon. Jefferson Davis, and of other officers iu supe rior military command to the contrary, with out consulting with, without the advice, and without the knowledge of any officer in the service of any rank, leaving the question of the retention'of that post to the discretion ?.f the commissioners appointed to make the sale, and that this action on the part of the Secre tary of War, was it grave official fault. :J. That with a knowledge of the great val ue of the Fort Snelling post reservation, and the importance of great caution and judgment [in making the Kile, (lie Secretary of War ap j pointed as agents for the purpose, unqualified, inexperienced and incompetent men. 4. That provision for, and management of the I sale, were so negligently, carelessly and inju j diciously made, as to induce a successful coin : bination against the Government, exclude all | competition, and bring loss to the Government, j That John 0. Mather, agent of the Department j of War for the examination and sale of the ! Fort Ripley reservation, after having already ijoincd a combination for the purchase of the ' Fort Snelling reservation, acted, iu making such purchase, in violation of his official duty, and against the known policy of the Government; and that, as to him and" Hichard Schell, rep resented by him as agent, and Steele and Gra ham, who were complicated in the sale with him, with a full knowledge of this official char acter, the sale of the Fort Snelling reservation was at the time, and is now void. ? Tub Sheriffalty Once Moitc, and fou the Last Time.?The agony has come at last. The sun of Waterloo, or Austerlitz, or some other terrible rout, has risen upon the prospects of not less than four candidates for the hangmanship of this bailiwick. Kre the sun goes down, the long disputed Sheriffalty will be among the fixed facts, and several of the contestants among the trans fixed specimens of "glorious war." Between this and dinner-time, there will be a shaking among the dry bones con cerning that floating vote which will be held as a reserve corps. There will be nothing like a heavy forenoon vote, to strengthen the knees anil the prospects of each candidate. A vote before dinner will "do good like a medicine," and will be of infinitely greater service than two votes after dinner. Hut still, for all, hundreds of votes will be held back, until the middle o, the day. These votes will be cast by people who are choosing between the least of the eviN ?p-ople who have a decided preference for some one candidate, yet will forego that prefer ence, if they see a better chance to make a cen tre shot?a home thrust against some candidate who is especially obnoxious to them. Among five candidates, the vote of this county will be badly cut up at the starting out, until the peo j pie get an idea how the thing is running, if I. the tide commences setting in in favor of one man, he will be, in all likelihood, singled out in , a few hours, as the man upon whom his party should rally. Out in the country, except where I they have learned town .tricks, the case will lie j different. The country people, while not more j fixed in their preferences, ate less susceptible to motives of policy or expediency. Have not so . many axes to grind, generally. They will ^o i in just as their business allows them, and cast i their vote, regardless of who wins "or loses. 1 There is no doubt but this is the honest, true and open way to do voting. We don't like to see people hanging back, seeing who is to win. VV e like to see men have an opinion-?-have a | i preference, and go boldly and express when the ! occasion arrives, without waiting to see if per- j chance the majority may think likewise. i The candidates to-day for the Sherillalty are: I Hubbard, (Whig,) Dorsty (American,) Irwin, (Whig,) Cotts, (Independent Democrat,) Kcdil i lion, (Nominee Democrat.) The Clerkship of the Circuit Court is the next biggest bone of contention. There have been announced in our columns, the following candidates, viz: Loring, (Liberal Democrat,) j Swearingen, (Old Line Whig.) Bonham, (ditto,) | Ohapline, (ditto,) Dr. C'haplinc, (the last j named,) we see by the A njux, has withdrawn. | The candidates, therefore, are now Loring, j Swearingen and ]>onhaui. j For. the County Court, Sir. Jno. MaColloch, j (Old Line Whig,) has no opposition. These are the most important ofiiccs to be j filled to-day. The party lines have been drawn j pretty distinctly during the last few days?but j still, ipiiie a heavy vote will go, like kissing, by personal favoriteism. Ail we have to say to everybody is, vote with out reference to expediency : and next, vote early. Pkocuess in' Russia.?A letter from St. Pe tersburgh to the Loudon A<!t)'>; savs that literary activity now prevails in Russia of which the like was never seen before. A great I many foreign contemporary authors of renown ! have jost been translated, ami amongst llici.: j are Sincaulay, tjrote, and IVescott. Numerous i works of native authors are announce I. An II \ lnsfrulr.l Si. Petcr*hurijh Kftcs has ? eu estab lished. Theatrical, literary, scienti; military, j inaratsinc, and economical journals . ive b'.'en started; periodicals containing ori_- ,al tales j and translations are numerous; even mild imi. j tations of Punch are not wanting. And what | is regarded as a little short of.stupendous, some i ?f the new journals are allowed to be sold in the j streets as newspapers are in Loudon. SiiiMAKiNi: Ti:!.i:t;iiAi'ii to Cm a.? It is re ported that the Atlantic 'I clegrapli Cotnpanv have made application to the Secretary of the Navy for the use of another Government ship te assist in laying the Atlantic Cable.

We congratulate 1 the fearless editress on her triumph, and hope, | when another attempt is mode to interfere with the freedom of the press, by a lawless mob, they ? will be dealt with in a summary manner. j Hah. Stokv?n*'nry losx.?\ violent hail | storm visited the vicinity of Fredericksburg, Vn., last week. The wheat and oats crop on some ! farms were entirely destroyed. The mill dain i of John L. Marye was washed away. Its erec tion cost $1,500. The liccordc.r estimates the ! damage done by hail in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg at from ?75,000 to ?100,000. The tornado ?which swept over Chesterfield and Powhatan counties, Va., on Saturday, has proved destructive to the grain crops.

And still the wonder increases, though the everlasting question, of which we have long since been sick and tired, to wit: "Are we to have more rain ?" has been very agreeably modified into, "when is it going to quit raining?" It is said?for ws ourselves don't profess to know about such deeply mysterious things? that the last moon changed whilst the sign was in the Neck, and hence the cause of this regular disjointcdness of the weather. The theory is a plausible one nt least, and in the absence of any other assignable reason, we may as well adopt this one. But, be the cause what it may. one thing is certain, May has made a pretty lint of herself thi* year. May, the Queen and Princess | lioyal of the years gone by,?she, of whom it I was wont to be sung, "When May la irone, of all the year. The pleasant timei* p-ist," ; hath, thus far, borne herself so illy and so sulk ; ily; hath deported herself so un-queen-like, so 1 uti-May-like, hath carried so unsmiling and un I comely a face, that, when she has bid us adieu, I she will be remembered only as the whiloine lover remembers his faithless, once smiling sweet-heart. Iler zephyrs, her sunshine, her melodies, her countless garlands ol beauty are as things that ire re, but are not. Let her go out in rain and mud if she will; they have been her chosen garments, let them be her grave. The Grecne-Lazear-Montgomery-Workman war has, for a few days past, suffered a truce.? Don't, though, for a moment, imagine that be cause we say so, the parties are not still lh?j ninte hello. We use "truce" eomjiimlite/j/.? The work still goes on, and we surmise that the future will show catastrophes of horror, from secret bombs now being prepared, and hidden mines now being sprung. That the result is to be a dire one, all are agreed, yet what that re sult will be, ami who will be the greatest suf erer, is yet a matter of as profound mystery as "who struck Billy Patterson!" To-day, according to appointment, begins a general parade and encampment of the military of this county. There are some seven or eight volunteer companies in the county, nil of which are ordered to lie present. At this present writing (1U a. in.) not a "sojer" nor a musket, ; nor a cockade is visible. The rain is pouring down as coolly and good-nntui edly as it did a month ajrn. and everybody is housed. Our town presents as civi! and unwarlike an appearance as could be imagined, yet who dare say that in one hour fiom this our streets may not be swarming with hundreds of the fierce sons of Mars, whose very looks would be enough to scare presumptuous John Hull into spasms, or to frighten while tile livers of all murdering Mormons. We wish the "muster'* was over, that we might have I he pleasure of relating to you the many funny scenes which we anticipate witnessing. We would like to know who ever failed seeing lots of fun ill a "mutter.'" You have heard the verdict in the Jones mur der case. l'i our mind il is a true one to the evidence m the case. Who tin: murderer really is, is known to God, but no evidence yetdiseov ered can fully satisfy human judgement as to who the perpetrator of this most horrid out rage is. Quite a melancholy death occurred in our boro' la.-t week. John Kuth, a very worthy and excellent citizen, elected a constable this spring, after about an hour of most painful and terrible spasms, died from the effects of poison taken by h in. It is supposed by some that the poison (strychnine) was taken purposely, but as no reason for suicide has been, or can be given, this seems most improbable. Having been pre viously somewhat indisposed, it is most likely he took it by mistake lor some other medicine. His death is a sad commentary on the careless ness often shown in the handling and using of dangerous drugs. Stei'ubs. Questions ami Answkus.?From this week's copy of Noah's Times and Messenger we take the following questions and answers: Query?Lola Monte/, says the Turkish ladies fatten themselves on pounded rose leaves and butter. Is that so, and how used? ill some other simple thing have a tendency to fatten the lean kind who are incapable of digesting the coarser fattening articles, such as pork, the fat of beef, &c.'l A Mirer?Madame Montez, we conceive, is in error, and has been deluded by one of the subtle i stories of the Persian poet Hatiz. hat little ! meat and an abundance of farinaceous food; ! drink plenty of water, and acquire habits of in { dolence.

Anxirer- -An acknowledgement of a Ivly as a j wife, according to New York law, makes her ! such, whether or not a formal marriage ceremo ! ny has taken place; but such an acknowiedge : inent must not be of a casual, incidental, or in ! ferential kind. The place, time, and manner, as j well as the frequency and gravity of the avowal, I must be such as to leave no doubt or suspicion, | and to lead inevitably to the conclusion that you 1 are husband and wife. Marriage is in this slate ' regarded legally as a civil con tract, and not ex ; clusivelv as a religious ordinance, and therefore i whatever implies tlnit two parties have "con 1 traded," fixes them to the fulfillment of such j contract. Query? How long is an express company compelled to keep a package before selling it to j pay expenses? What are their liabilities and j rights as to charge? A ameer?The carrier or expressman has a right to demand payment when he receives the ; goods. lie may refuse to take them if not so ? jiaid ; but if he take them to be paid at the oth j er end i'f the route, he can retain ttiem until "set ? tied for" un his arrival there, and on the expir ation of one year, he may sell them to meet the ! charges. In this state, "special notices and spc i cial contracts, by common earners, are held to | be against the policy of the law, and therefore | utterly void. The courts also hold that the nn lice that "all baggage is at the risk of the owner," i is a nullity; but the carrier may require the freighter to disclose the nature and value of the property, or make a special acceptance. Query?What is the origin of the saying 'Sar ' donic.laugh?'

A Iloimiyi.F. trailgedy occurred in New Or leans on the 14th inst. A young man named Victor (cassia attacked his father, Andre Gassia, at their residence, and murdered him in the. most fiendish manner?stabbing him with a pair of shears no less than sixteen times, and killing him instantly. Immediately on finishing this deed, the young man ran into the street and meeting a lamplighter named Jos. llamer, stab bed him several times, and so badly that little hope was entertained of his recovery. Soon af ter that the young maniac?for a maniac he must have been?was taken and lodged in the lock-up. A Peksox.w. Xvkaativk.?Mr. Walter II Shube, formerly eiiitor of the Shield and Iian ner, at Mansfield, Ohio, gives a clear account of his sensation at the time of the accident on the X. V. Central Railroad, at Sanquoit Creek, by which six persons were killed, and about forty wounded. He says it is the third time he has been through a similar scene u ithin nine months. The first intimation Mr. Shube had that all was not right on the train, he heard a shriek ap parently fiom a female voice, immediately fol lowed by a cracking sound. Having made up his mind that the surest way of escaping inju ries upon such occasions, was to make fast to something, he grasped his seat tirmly, and was immediately carried, scat and all. over the head tif the man in front of him. He felt the lire Hash from his eyes by coming in collision with the head of the unknown mn:i, who was lving dead in the bagsrage room. Mr. Shube savs he distinctly heard the crushing sound of breaking bones as the old man was thrown against the side of the car. lie says it sounded in his ears like that produced bv a dog "critunckiittj the bones ol a patridge," and was to liim the most horrible noise he ever heard. He thinks the old man died instantly. Mr. Shube was in the second car; he saw a shower of splinters (lying and got a glimpse of | daylight shining through the end car as he went down, following the engine, tender, baggage and ] lir>t passenger car. The third ear struck the ; second in the end and dashed i' ill pieces, a heap of ruins. Mr. Shube was assisted out oftlie ! midst of the wreck by friendly hands; his inju ries are a sprained hip and one of the small , bones of his leg broken. He says the hip is injured in the same place where its firmness . was severely tried oil the Krie road, but he speaks confidently of being on his wav ai_'ain in a few days. Few men live to pass through such scenes as Mr. Shube has experienced.? llis own escape, as well as that of uiany others, . stops little short of the miraculous. Ilow Bkiuiiam Yoini; Pays Kxprxses.? We i have no doubt but Hrigham Young, can oil a pinch, tell a more extensive lie tliay any other I man in America. In one of his late Salt Lake sermons we find a specimen of his skill as fol lows : Hi- was on his way from Indiana to Ivirtland in 1839. lie says: I \V hile in Pleasant Garden he obtained sonic j money, so that with the five dollars we previous j ly had, amounted tu 5U. When wegotinto j the stage we did not expect to be able to ride but a short distance. We rode as far as Indian apolis, paid otir passages, found we had sillli ! cient means to take our passages for Richmond lnd. \\ hen we arrived at this place, we found we | had means to take us to Dayton, to which place we proceeded and tarried over night, waiting for i another line of stages. We expected to stop , here and preach until we got means to pursue : our journey. I went to my trunk to get money j to pay my bill, and found that we had sufficient j to pay our passages to Columbus, to which place we took passage in the stage and tarried over night. When I paid my bill I found I had sufficient i to pay our passages to Wooster. We tarried till ! the alter part of the day, and then took passage j for Wooster; when we arrived there I went to my trunk again to get money to piy the bill, ; anil found sufficient to pay our passages to t Cleveland. On arriving at Kirtland 1 had a York shilling j lelt, and on looking over our expenses I found j we had paid over ?37 out of the $13 50 we had I at Pleasant Garden, which is all the money we j had to pay our passages, to my certain kilowl I edge, to start on. We had traveled over 400 ? miles by stage, for which we paid from 8 to 10 j cents per mile, and had eaten three meals a dav, ? for each of which we were charged fifty cents, : also lift v cents for our lodjiings. O t, M'mk. Laohanob.?Of this celebrated artiste | who sung here ill Wheeling about a year ago, l the Xew \ork Courier ihri Uixi*, in speak | ing of the general dispersion of operatic artists, says: "M'tnc Lagrange will not even have to go to Europe to seek an engagement. Engagements | come after her here, M. i ialcotti has crossed the ; ocean to make oilers to her that resemble the wedding gifts of a fairy's god child. It is easi i ly seen, from the terms oftlie contract, that it relates to a country where diamonds are raised. ; What other country, indeed, than liray.il would give her prima donna sixty thousand dollars a : year, traveling expenses for ten persons, the : use of a furnished country house outside the : gates of llio Janeiro, including the service of tue stables, liveries, ??c., and all guaranteed bv | the Government?

That is to sav, ! more than a President of the United States can ; earn in the whole of his term. Itut then, all tlie millions of California could not make Mr. Ituchauan sing the Hungarian Air or the La grange Polka." Pnvou's Platform.? Piyor, of the Richmond Sv'ith, is not half so ferocious as some people think. There is considerable method lu his ; madness, and his intense patriotism (fur the |-South) is quite dainty, indeed even chary. He wants the time and place all right when he lets the Union slide. There jntist be no gallows' j risks in the movement. Says Pryor:? I am not going to take a position outside the f iiioii, until 1 can go w ith a united South. >ive me a case of oppression and tvranny sulfi cient to justify a dissolution or the' Union, and Rile me a united South, and then 1 am willing to go out of" the Union. I iie New Orleans g \\ ashiugton corres pondent, gives the following picture of "poor little Cox, of Ohio," after the passage of the Kansas bill: I our little Cox, of Ohio, has been the chief butt of the oppositionists' scorn and inutndocs ; Humphrey Marshall pitched into him; and so ; ?lnl Campbell, of Ohio, ami llaskin, of New York. It seems to be known that he was wcak .of heart. Pitiful indeed it was, yesterday to j see the poor creature, after Haskin had gi^Xsly insulted him, begging him to let him still call ! him his friend, and afterwards creeping like a J spaniel to Ilaskin's desk, where he was waved <?11 with a "go away, I will hear nothing vnu I have to say, and then sneaking back to his seat ? again.
