Commissioners Holt, Davis and Campbell, have madea ‘report of their examinatio.: of tho war ciaims against the (government on account of the department of the West. ‘The report enters into details, and is fullof interest. It “4s shown that monies, specially directed to the payment ef certain claims, were diverted to the payment of baird» the oontractor for the construction of the St. Louis fortifications, and that in some instances, when mechanics and laborers could not be paid, large sums of sixty or seventy dollars were paid to Baird; in fact that the finances were always open to Baird when no one else ould obtain a single cent. The report is regarded as a complete crushing out of the pretensions of Fremont, and a practical illustration of at least bis ineapacity to manage public affairs of great importance. ‘The Commissioners to examine into the affairs of the Western, or Missouri Military Department, have madea ‘voluminous report, in which they state they examined twelve hundred witnesses, and had claims presented to them amounting to $8,000,000. They remark they have devoted the principal part of their report to an exposure of the abuses which characterized the late administration of that dopartment, and testify to the integrity which gonerally has been displayed by morchants, mechanics and manufacturers when permitted to deal directly with the government. Widespread as has been the demoraliza- tion in official circles, and among thoir dependents and favorites, and startling a8 aro the frauds which have been attempted: and consummated, a large majority of the elaimanta havo presented themselves before the Jom- mission unimpeasbed by imputations either on their loyalty or honor. ISSUE OF TREASURY CERTIFICATES, Another million of six per cent cortificates was issued ‘to-day, in payment to contractors, and @ much larger ‘Datoh is prepared to go through to-morrow. The portion of one thousands is very large, which of course makes he process of their issue much more tedious than if ‘takers were willing to receive five thousands. Requisi- tlons from the War and Navy departments have passed for fully forty-one millions, all of which will be issued in ‘afew days. Interest accrues from the time of the pre- sentation of disbursing officers’ chocks to the Treasurer, -@o that no loss to the taker may result from any delay in «their isue after they havo been demanded. PANIC OF THE REBFLS AT RICHMOND. Intelligence has been received here from Richmond, ‘via Baltimore, that the rebels are sending their tobacco to the interior, toward Danville and Farmville, and be- yond Petersburg. It is added that private citizens have a0 control over cotton and tobacco, the military having assumed charge of them. THE OITY OF RICHMOND TO BE BURNED] BY THE REBELS. ‘It is rumored hore to-day that the rebel Cabinct has decided to burn the city of Richmond on the approach of the Union army. If this diabolical system is pursued in the Southern confederacy, no hope can be entertained of recognition of the Southern confederacy by any enlight- ened people. With their cities, their cotton, tobacco ‘and other crops and property destroyed, they will pre- fent no motive to England or France to help them in their distress. OPENING OF TRADE AND TRAVEL WITH VIRGINIA. ‘The Provost Marshal has given notice that the only passes now issued are for officersand soldiers who wish to visit the south side of the Potomac and return, and the only interdioted articles are liquors and contraband of war. BRISK BUSINBSS ON THE ORANGH AND ALEXANDRIA RAILROAD. Business was never ao brisk on the line of the Urange and Alexandria Railroad. All the locomotives, save one or two, are from Northern roads, and number over ado gen, Thore are also employed several hundred burthen tt. To-day ten engines wore out on the Orange road at one time. &., &e, FIRN AT ALEXANDRIA. Green’s warchouse, in Aloxandria, was destroyed by dre this morning, Loss inconsiderable. APPLIGATIONS FOR PERMITS TO CARRY ON BUSINESS AT RICHMOND, The energy and enterprise of the Yankee nation has ‘been significantly exhibited-in the applications reeently made to the Secretary of War. Among them are five ap- plications for licenses to open hotels at Richmond upon the oocupation of that city by the Union Army, half a dozen to establish printing offices there, and a largo umber for permission to cnitivate the waste lands fatoly occupied by the fedoral troops in Virginia in tho vicinity of Washington. Im advance of the progress of the Union army, the ‘Union people are anxious to renovate the land of Dixie. ‘These facts show that if the political agitators would re- main quiet, the struggle betwoen free and alave labor ‘would soon be ended without their aid, and much sooner ‘without their interference than with it.

At three o'clock this afternoon all was quiet at For- ‘trees Monroe. NO PASSES TO FORTRESS MONROR GRANTED. ‘The Secrotary of War has been daily importuned for passes to fortress Monroe, which he has invariably re- fused, It appears to havo boon forgotten that an order thas been issued peremptorily prohibiting ali persons, not @onnected with the public service, from passing upon the government boats between Raltimore and Fortress Monroe. Applications for passes are, therefore, alto- @oether usoless, and simply an annoyance te tho Depart- meat. BSTURN OF 4 REPENTANT EDITOR PROM DIXIE. Among the many evidences daily transpiring of the febels losing confidence in their cause, it may be stated ‘that an ardent secessionist and admirer of Southern tu" @titutions, who left Baltimore some months since to fill an ‘@ditorial position im Richmond, has within the last few Gays revarned to Baltimore heartsick, and is soliciting Mermission from the military authorities here to remain, As the prospects are that there will shortly be more such @eoking safety under the shadow of the government they Rave hitherto been #0 willing to seo destroyed, it is the freoly expressed opinion of loyal citizens here that such Yeturning prodigals, if they be indeed repentant, should De required to show works meot for repontanee, and purge Shomsecives of their treason by taking the oath of alle- @iance to the government they have so shamefully ‘wronged.

He was credibly informed that fifteen thousand free blacks were bere, and tbat only about fif- toon hundred slaves were left. But there wore patent reasons why slavery should be abolished here now. It may be the only opportunity that we may havo, and there is no doubt but that Congress has ample power to do it. Besides, most of the weholders hore are disloyal mop.
