The Military Usurping Civil Positions Under the Administration—Call for More Miary Engi neers in Comsequence Thereof—Stupidity of Mili- tary Mumagehvint at the Capitol—Great Waste of Money and Ruin of the Structwre—Small Economy in u Small Way, &e. A very distinguished Southern writer, who is not wly # sound! philosopher but a wise statesman, has yell eaia: “A nation of freemen stands in need ofa Jervading spirit of obedience to the laws; an army teaches, and mnst teach, a spirit of prompt ebe- dience to orders. Habits of disobedience and of contempt for the citizen are produced, and a view of government is induced wich is contrary to liberty, self-reliance, self-government. Command ought to rule in an army; self-developement of law and self- sustaining order ought to pervade a free people.” These wholesome truths seem to have been unknown to thoee in power at this place, or if known have been, much to their reproach, wholly unheeded. The German prince who, to repress the liberal spirit prevailing with his subjects, declared from the throne that ‘ The willof one must ultimately rule in the government, even as it does in the camp,” had no more contempt for the subject than the President and his Secretary of War bad for the citi- zen when, in violation of law in defiance of popu- lar sentiment, and agalost all previous policy and usage of the government, they placed the Capitol extension and other public works of a civil character in this district under military superiaten sums, or aboot 7 per thousand, which is atleast ita three dollars more than the work could have been ¢ by coutract. oY etre example will farther illustrate the penny wise and poun foolish economy of military supervision. When Capt. Meigs took possession of the work on the Capitol there were employed to do the haulinz about the work several poor men who owned horses and carts. Their wages were $1 50 per day, and they were paid only for such days as they could work, needed they were not paid. To economize, these men, who depended on their wages for daily eusten- ance, were dismissed, and a number of horses and carts were bought by government to supply their places. Capt. clas pays drivers for these horses i 25 per day, and the actual cost to government for every working day is not less than $3. The horses have to be fed and attended to in bad weather as well | , and that burden is now upon government. | a8 good This is a small specimen of military economy—in a emall way, I con’ess—but it is admirably illustrative of the whole system now pursued by the subordinates of this economy-loving administration. The Land Schemes in Congress Wassinoton, Jan. 10, 1854. James Gorpon Bannzrr, Esq., Eprror oF THE New York Heraup. Dear Srr—In the HeRaup of the 17th inst., an article appeared headed “The Land Spoils—Land Jobbing Schemes in Congress,” in which you cha- racterize the applications now before Congress from the Western States for grants of land to aid in the construction of railroads, as a conspiracy to plunder the public treasury for the benefit of a few landed speculators and monopolists, and you characterize this “Western System of Railroad Land Jobbing and Land Robbing,” as more objectionable than Bennett's bill, or even the Homestead bill, sweeping off all the pablic lands at once. Now, sir, being myself a West- ern mao, and interested in building a railroad through the State of Wisconsin, from Milwaukie on Lake Michigan to La Crosse on the Mississippi river, and, moreover, being in this city, as an agent of the company with which I am connected, toask Congress to aid us in the construction of our road, by a gran of alternate cections lyivg along tne line of our road, aod not liking to be characterized as a land plander- er, I have to ask of you the publication of this letter, that the readers of the He#aLp may see our side of dence. Military officers, educated at the expense of the government for altogether different'services, have been withdrawn trom their legitimate duties in the construction of fortifications and other means of mili- tary defence, avd 4 t ouly eugaged in superin- tending the exieosion of the Cepiwl, the asylum and water works in this district the country in charge +f river and harbor it ments, and even buildwg ‘he custom houses r ordered by Con Vo make sonplete pation of the military power uo doubt the ne: will be to place them in char-e of the cc and post offices needed forthe use f the government, and, perhaps, the gradation of the streets and ave- nue3 and the construction of the sewers of this metropolis. This thrusting of offi ers of the army into places which of right belong to that class of civiliaas who, | from their talents, iuteurity aud experience, are well | qualitied to fillthem, aod itn which our country happily abounds, is not well eul-nlated to promote that view of government, which teaches self reliance to the people and attachment to the | institutions of the constry. No one knows | better thas General Pierce and Secretary Davis | | that there are many the country of dist ability, who are as supe in the live of their pro emineut architects in d genins and tried nist | thousend bushels of wheat or barley, which must seek this question. Iwill not charge upon you an intention to misre- present the people of the West on this question; but will merely say, that this, like most otrer subjects, appears different from the position from whish it is viewed; and, after having looked at our side of this question, if you do not see it as we do, I will only say you would, could you spend a few years in the interior of one of our Western States or Territories, raising wheat or other grain for a living, and carting it from fifty to one hundred wiles over bad roads to | amarket. The farmers of the interior of our State | have to haul their grain from fifty to a hundred | miles to the lake ports to market. Suppose a farmer liv.ng, ssy seventy-five miles in the interior, raises a | a market at the East, or be valueless on his hands, | he has to draw it seventy-five miles—forty bushels of | wheat, or fifty of barley will make a load for one team, and it will take a week to make | a tnp to murket and return. Now, it will take twenty-five trips, and consume twenty- five weeks, to draw off his crop, and if the fession to any of the engiveer corps a6 these en- gineers are to the mere cadets at V country is full of civil engiveers © not better, suited ty the duties of | construction of water works than any army officer | belonging to the government; and yes these men | are insu tingly thrust avide, and given to understand | that they are not thought worthy the service of the country to e: ly civic character. Gen. Jackson was not only a better democrat, but a better soldier than either the | President or his Secretary of War ; and it is a well | known fact that it was a leading idea with him to | stimulate by employment rather than repress by neglect the arobition of a civilian of genius who had qualided himself for eitber mechanical or scientific | ear He too, bad beeu in the army before he | sme President, but he did not bring into civil rpmen; the notions he had learned in the camp.

For want of practical ability, a sommon-sense knowledue of plain principles which ivery schoolboy learns in his first leesons in natural philoso, hy, be bas ruined the structure. The altera- jions of the plan, which were made without author ity of law and at immense additional expense, are a monstrous absurdity. The balls, originally designed Jo be exposed on three sides to the air and light, are now shot op in the centre of the immense wings, with neither light nor air except eee the ceiling. For all legislative purposes they will be utterly ase- leas. The govervment of Great Britain committed a Tike blunder in permitsing Sir Charles Barry to con- | strust the halls of Parliament in the same absard | manner, and grievously bas it been repented. No means of ventilating the halls, by mechanical con- trivances or otherwise, have ever yet succeeded; aud the very means which Capt. Meigs proposes for ventilating these pent-up Halls Congress have been em; cally condemned in London by both practical tests and the opinions of the best scientific men and architects ia kingdom. omc to taken before a special committee of the House of Commons, for 1852, it has cost Great Britain £300,000, or one and half millions of dollars, for experiments and contrivances to prodace & proper ventilation of the Og oe of which have utter aeearienun te fal. The Leap has been one of an: for man: , and no remedy has yet been found for the delects of venti- lation, which are so bad as to destroy even the acoustic capacity of the rooms avd make the use of them intolerable. A reconstruction of the edifice is thought by some to be the only means left -by which ‘to seoure muitable halls fur the use of Parliament.

Thus you see be must either neglect nis farm or the marketing of his crop at that season of tre year which experience has demon:trated his crop ‘will bring the best price. It costs the farmer thus situated as much to market his crop as it does to raise it and prepare it fur market. This is no fancy sketch, but the expegiense of every Western farmer, thus situated, who has tried raising grain for a living. The necessities of the ase prompt the people of the West to seek to obtain some more ready avenues and cheaper, to trausport their products to the lakes. Hence the public mind is aroused to the subject of railroads as the best and only remedy, and when we examine our State and find that its area embraces near thirty-five million acres of land, the ownership of which js principally in the national Letra having as yet wold only about seven and a half million acres, the question arises at once, ought not the government, as the chief land proprietor, to contribute towards building these reads?

The baad was duly organized, and siock taken along the line of the road by the citizens to # large amount. The road surveyed and located from Mlwaukie to Portage City on the Wisconsin river, a distance of nivety-eight miles, has been put under contract for construction, aud fitty miles of the eastern end of this division of the road will be graded ready for laying down the superstructure by the first of June next. -The western division from Portage City to La Crosse has been surveyed and found highly prec cee for a railroad. For thecon- struction of the eastern division of the road farmers living along the line of the road have mortgaged their farms for one-half the appraised value thereof, and taken stock in the company, aud these farm | mortgages are being negotiated to raise funds to con- struct the road.

The estimated cost of our road and equipments is set down at ¢4,400,009. The grant asked for of alternate sections lying along the line of the road amounts te 715,680 acres, which, if made, will enable the company to purchase their iron for their whole road, which is really the great embar- rassment to the western railroad companies; and the amount of iron required for our road, if foreign iron one-fourth the vaiue of the public lands granted; and siso, this road terminating on the Mississippi river east of the southern portion of Minnesota, must serve as the outlet for a very large tract of country lying in that territory, as it will constitute the near- est outlet to the great Jakes from Minnesota by more than one hundred miles over any other line of rail- road in that State or south of it. Now, sir, in ad dition to the action of the sitizens living along the line of this road in having taken stock and mortgaged their farms as before stated, the city of Milwaukie bas agreed to issue her corporate bonds for $200,000 | to aid in the construction of this road, and 80 also have meetings been held in several of tne counties through which this road passes, where they have unanimously resolved to issue both town and county bonds to aid the company.

Gorpow Baxnarr, E~ Your exposé in the Heraxp of the 16th instant, respecting ‘‘ The Last Humbug—The Great Mosquito Grant,” has caused some talk in our quiet city, from the consideration that the “ American specula- tor in quest of adventures, who found himself ia San Juan minus cash, credit and cosmetics,’ and who, up’n hearing ‘‘ Shepherd's story, proposed to revive his claim,” is a native and resident of this place. He went down to San Juan about a year or more ago, to mend his broken fortunes by opening a hotel for the accommodation of passengers to and from Cali- fornia by that route; but remained a very short time, | never having catered, as was understood, to the | palate of a solitary wayfarer in that land of Mos- quito, &c. Upon his return it was very soop rumored that be had turned up a “tramp” and le his | “Jack”—in short that in less than a twelvemonth | he woald be @ millionaire of the first water, having obtained a bona fide title to abont one-half of the fa: mons kingdom of Mosquito. Very soon he visited | Washington to confer with the Hon. Daniel Webster, | the then Secretary of State, and exhibit to him his title deeds for the vast and rich territory he had so easily and mnexpecedly, acquired, abounding in all the luxuries of a southern clime, and producing gold, silver, and precious stones, in abundance, and evel other known thing to add to life's comforts and discomforts, down te monkeys, | alligators, and serpente, in the greatest | profiion. What Mr. Webster's opinion of this af- | fair was is not known. Fora twelvemonth all has | been talk. Very recently, however, the adventurous | owner of this vast and fertile grant visited New | York, and under the advice of some of the I pre | onginators of hambugs with which your noted city | abounds, a company was organized, scrip issued, and thrown upon the market, under what name the un- | initiated are not apprised; and it was said that the | bait was caught at by some, and that he succeeded torome extent in effecting sales—‘ the fools not being all desd —as you remarked. After thus organizing and Rea in Wall street or thereabouts he re- turned home, via Washington; and his avticipated wealth being too great for the space allowed in one uiao’s breeches pockets, in the plenitude of his be- nevolence, and the extreme veneration in which he held many of the great men of the land, it is said he donated to certain Senators, and others in and | out of Congress, a few hundred thousand shares, | among whom I have heard Senators Douglas and | Cooper as being specially named as beneficiaries to | the smount of twenty thousaud shares each, | _ This donation must be regarded as an act of pure | benevolence, for it is apparent that it was not done | | wib a view to obtain their influence in the establish- | ment of the claim, for that matter was looked upon | and had heen pronounced as a “ fixed fact’ by men of great judgment and foresightedness in New York, who are always ahead as to the means to be used as | most ¢flectuat in acquiring great and speedy wealth; &nd they tad not only pronounced this title good, but very good. Some few of our verdant wiseacres have puschased stock in this last humbug, which, it is understood, they would be glad to get clear of. It bas been freely offered at fifty cents par share, but could donbtless be had pow by the bushel o1 t load at much lower figures, the buyers being few and far between, and dwindliag dewn *o numbers smajl and “ beantifully less” since the appearance of your exposure of the ham- bug. To till up ard complete the history bezun by you I have added this, being what is known and talked of here. Snooxs. The Missour! Compromise- To what Terri- tory it Extended.

Will you allow me to correct an error into which I think you have been led in an editorial of yester- day, wherein you remark that “the Missouri com- | promire line was first invaded by refusing the line of 36 30 in the admission of California?” The same | idea, that this line extended to the Pacific, has been frequently broached in other newspapers.

The Pottaville, Pa., Register and Democrat says it must give its support to the President and his cabinet, and re- pudiate the national democats, but takes occasion to re- fer to the democratic divisions of 1848 as follows:— Our preference was for Cassin 1848; we were deeply ckegrined at bis defeat, and coo¢emned the men and regretied the causes which operated in producing it. With the Van Burens ard their free soil coadjutors we could never sympathise; we were free te expres: the con vietion that the “stampede” got up om the slavery question, at that time, was used to accomplish ulterior objerts, one of which was the defeat of the veteran statesman Cass.

Destructive Fire in Rochester—'The Blossom House in Rains—Loss $154,000. [Fron ‘he Reoheater Dewonrat. of ti morning } On Saturday mornivg, about three o'clock, fire was discovered in Mr. Osborn’s block, corner of Main and St. Pau! streets, in the rear angle of the building, proceediog e:ther from the kitchen of the recess in the basement kept wy James Davy, in the drug store of Messrs. Lynde & Osborn, or the shoe store of Bradstreet & Graves. The flames had made such progress when discovered, in a place uot accessible from the street. that it was impossible to tell just where it commenced. There is nothing de- termined to show how it originated. The night was cold, and a high wind prevailed; so that before the engines could be fot into efficient action the fire was uncontrolable. e entire corner was burned, including a front of brick buildings, 76 feet on St. Paul street avd 104 on Main street, four stories and @ half in height, occupied as drug store, groceries, and in part by the hotel proprietors, including the large ball room in the upper part, where the recent eseesh festival was held. It was found impossible check the fury of the flames at this point, and they attacked the Blossom Hotel building, which is & part of the same block, and destroyed it from attic to cellar. The store of Messrs. Wams'ey Brothers, between the hotel and the Osborn block, was also consumed entirely, although the owner had been confident that his building was fire proof and would not be burned. The latter gentlemen owned a front of twenty-eight feet on Main street, and their store extended one hundred and sixty feet on Division street. Their goods were in part saved, but the loss ts very heavy. Notwithstanding the utmost exertions of ‘the fire- men, the flames, fanned by a strong wind from the west, blowing in a direct line with the long row of new structures on Main street, continued to progress for six hours, and at eight o'clock in the morning they bad not subsided, and then threatened for a bee hae elegant block known as the Crystal Palace uiding. The (ee exhausted by their protracted labors, contizued their well-directed exertions, and prevent- ed the fire from passing Eames the hotel. The new part of the Blossom buildings, occupied by Mr. McCartby, was also saved, there being no commu- cication between the two buildings. A blank wall intervening between the buildings on the corner anj the Croton House, on St. I street, belonging to Mr Osborn, and occupied in the upper part by Mr. Bishcp as a boarding house, was saved from destruc- tion. The fire has swept over a pile of brick build- ings extending one hundred and one feet on St. Paul aires and one hundred and fifty-four feet on Main street. At the pea moment it is impossible to give the amour t of the loss. Mr. Osborn estimates his loss on the building destroyed at $30,000, on which he has an insurance of about $15,000. The Wamsley’s loss on building and goods*will be considerably greater. Their goods were bonnets and rich trimmings, ve'- vets aud cloths for ladies’ cloaks and dresses, and other costiy articles. Their store was very elegantly furnished, and ornamented with carved work. A portion ef the stock was saved, but in a more or less jamaged condition. They estimate their loss at 60,000 and upwards, and they have an insurance of some $13,000. On the hotel there is an insurance of some $15,000 also, $9,000 of which is held by a mort- gagee. On the farniture, which was worth some $9,000, there is @ partial insurance. A portion only of the stuff was saved. Some of the boarders suffered by the fire considerably. Mr. Justin Day had abont $1500 worth of property in his apartment, including ae and handsome farniture. He is insired $500. 'he stores on Main street were occupied by Messra. Lynde & Osborn, druggist, whose loss is covered mostly by @ policy of $5,000. Tne restaurant in the ba:ement kept by Mr. Davy was pretty well stocked, aud the proprietor estimates his loss ‘at $2,500; in- sured $1,500. Messrs. Bradstreet & Graves, occupy: ing the store adjoining the drug store, lost most of their boots, shoes, and stock. They are insured $2 000, which will not cover more than ene third of their loss. 3 Mr. Maurer and Messrs. Oothout & Bartis, grocers, faved very little of their ls, and are large losers. The latter are pretty well insured, but the loss of the former is nearly 5 The upper part of Mr. Osborn’s building, on St. Paul street, was occupied by Miss Fay as a boardin, house. Mostof the property belonging to her an her boarders was got out of the building. Mr. Rickon, tailor, and Mrs. Dawson, milliner, had rooms upon the first floor of the same block. Their lees not ascertained, ony slight. The merehants in the bu ldings east ot {the hotel removed their stocks, and some loas occurred on that acccunt, which will fall upon the underwriters.

A short time after they had commenzed, a fine cap of one of the tanks exploded, and the contents, in a liquid state, burst out, and were soon fired by one of the furnaces. The flames spread, as might be ex- pected, with unusual rapidity, and ina short time the entire building was in flames. The large amount of combustible matter stored in the cellars and on the various floors was a fit subject for the destrac- tive element, and the_fire spread onward in ite course of desolation. books and papers were with some difficu'ty saved, but all other efforts were almost fruitless. From all the information we can gather the num- ber of hogs cut and packed, bean} those slaughtered the day previous, which were inthe house and consumed, is put down at twelve thousand, not exceeding thirteen thousand at the farthest. The greater portion of these were stacked up and salted down in the cellars. A small number of , which were hanging up on the hooks, were taken out and deposited in a wooden building on the opposite side of the street, but so great was the heat thatin a short time this building took fire and was peeaaly consumed, and thore that were saved were p! in the street, many of them considerably charred and scorched. There were only one thousand tierces and about three or four hundred barrels of lard in store, although the impression at one time was that there was considerably over this amount.

Messrs Cassall, Gavazzi & Co. James G. Bennett, Esq.: Dear Srr:—The gentlemen whose names head this communication cannot but be aware that they are quite safe in courting a controversy with any Catholic of influence, relative to their vague charges against Monseigneur Bedini, knowing that they wonld have everything to gain, and the opposing party nothing. Those persons, Catholic and Protest- ant, who have the honor of enjoying M. Bedini’s friendship, know him to be a benevolent and accom- plisbed gentleman, and those who do not, and choose to believe otherwise, do not want tobe undeceived. A controversy, therefore, with such furious lovers of iil and riot as Cassali & Co., just at this time, would only tend to benefit them and puff their news- papers, which I tgp rem) is their chief bag ah eae ic charge made by the firm against Mons. Bedini is, that he caused the execution of Ugo Bassi. This charge was proved to be totally fatse in an article published some months ago in the Hgr- ALD, wherein it was stated, and authority givea, that Mons. Bedini knew not even of the criminal’s trial or conviction till after his execution. It was also proved beyond a doubt that the account of the skinning was a ridiculous fable. Those gentlemen also know that M. Bedini isin a foreign land, far from any means of procuring any testimony to defend himself, although there are many Italians in this city (quondam evolutionists, too,) who would willingly come forward against his slanderers, had they not the fear of Sassi’s fate be- fore their eyes. They know, also, that M. Bedini ia surrounded by prejudice, and by enemies, some of them his own countrymen, outlaws and assassins, whoee evidenee might easily be procured to sustain any falsehood. With such a state of things it may be imagined what chance justice or truth would have in a controversy of the kind. As I stated before, the only specific charge made M. Bedini has been refuted over over again; still Messrs. Cas- sali & Co. are not satisfied; they are not satisfied either that he should conduct himself quietly like a Christian gentleman, as appears by their m2 the 20th inst. The statement that M. Bedini interfered with liberties of American citizens and their property as arda the Baffalo church troubles, is both unjast and untrue. As well might such a charge be ae against any arbitrator called in to settle a disput account to avoid litigation. M. Bedini was appealed to by both partiesto decide a vexed question, which he did according to facta and the best of his ability. His decision was rejected by one side, and both parties remain in the same position as before, without any rights being invaded or injury done. i But Mesars. Cassali & Co. should be satisfied the glory they have achieved; they have shown what benefit can be to society in up religious strife, and how they can bring odium on our country a Rees Teed ; they have also con- Americans how well suited Continental Ea- 10 are for a ican form of government, tnt how free it would be from despotism in their Had the Irish newspaj taken your advice, aad treated the tirades of 'r.
