No one will deny that it might have been made useful both in the hospitals and out of them; and I doubt not it was used advantageously. But £ it were not, it is surely no fault of mine. cousations of the report do not stop with thoso mat rr with whic! I was connected, but there seems to be @ desire to drag me into others: with which I had no connection whatever. Of these, the most unjustifiable is the ins.puation that I had some connection with the char- ‘toring of the steamer Cataline—an insinuation made in directly, but significantly, after 1 had on oath averred that I had no convection whatever, in any way, direct or indirect, with that steamer, not evoa Knowledgeof its ownership or charter. I repeat that averment in the most otnphatic and unqualified manner. This ayerment is in no way aifected by the note which the committee publish, showing that I had ordored freight on board of the Catali She had beon chartered by Colonel Tomp- kins, United States Quartormaster at New York, as the committee ascertained, and I told them that ‘tt was very likely sume of the articles I bad purchased were forwarded. by her, because they were sont by any ves- sol that was 4 tho service and ready to go. In the note which the committee parade, in eae with this sub- Ject, two other vessels are named as woll asthe Cataline— the Roanoke and Chesapenke—as having freight on board from me, and I have not, to this hour, the romotest idea of who ownod them then or now, mor who chartered them for the government; and 1 knew’ no more of tho Cataline than [knew of them. It was not at all necessary, ner hardly even within my province, to inquire who owned or chartered ther. Without going further into detail upon the various mat- tersembraced in the roport of the committee, I content myself with the declaration that the money expended by myself and those with whom I was assvciated, was dis- bursed economically and wisely; acd that m thy whole vast outlay that has a:tenced this war, in no iustenco has the government more truly or more fully got its money's worth, or the disbursing agente more strictiy and consel- entiously discharged their onerous duties. And it is pro- per to aid chat very littie waa done toward the oof ods of “tho tho government in its great emergeucy, except through Provision of its ofticors above aliuded to, and the ac- ten of Pree city of New York, through the Union Defence mittee. Asan evidence and in iilustration of the care used in tho expouditure of ti. ands provided for this emergency, Imay properiy- ci ijustance out of iy Cases that occured :~—Dui i ariod alluded to, the government decided, I think ih C: vinet meeting, to purchase the steam- or Atlantic, then in the public service, under a charter made by regular ofiicers of the army; and I was author- ized, and, indeed, almost instructed, by a telegraphic despatch, to purchaso her for the sum Of $350,000—the price mamed in her charter—at which tho government had wrightto purchase, I received the a. late in the evening of Saturday, the 4th of diay, ing that her ters, The vouchers in the hands of Mir.

H. Marshall, and Samuel Sloan, all alike eminent for their integrity and intelligent de = to the interests of the country. Many of the art: clos whose purchase is thus endoraedby these vouchers were bougitt under. the direction of General Wool and General Dix; and not a small portion were directly pur- chased by General Wadsworth in person for the purpose ghting the steamer Kiil von Kull, which he sent lef of the guvern- they had yiclded to my importunity and called Mr.Biatch- ford; and thus the whole question of the rightful expen- diture of all the money would have been disposed of.
