THE REPUBLIC.

WEDNESDAY MORNING.....JANUARY 10, 1866.

THE LIST OF LETTERS REMAINING IN THE RICHMOND POST-OFFICE AT THE END OF EACH WEEK, AND THE OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMENTS OF THE GENERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS, ARE PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY IN THE REPUBLIC.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

The Senate of Virginia, in its action on the report of the joint committee on Public Printing, yesterday, thoroughly vindicated its high character for patriotism, and gave an earnest that they were neither partisans nor wedded to old habits that should long since have been abandoned. We are quite sure that the plaudit of "well done, good and faithful servants," will go up from the heart of every tax-payer in the State——and we are equally certain that the treasury will be saved thousands of dollars by their action. The people of Virginia have no money, at this time, to waste on doubtful schemes, because they were adopted by our fathers, and we rejoice to see that the Senators from all sections are disposed to look to the public good, rather than to the mere gratification of party or personal preferences.

Mr. Gilmer, as chairman of the joint committee, presented a majority and a minority report, and when the majority report came up, moved a non-concurrence on the part of the Senate, and advocated the election of Public Printer.

A. S. Gray, Esq., advocated with calmness and marked ability the majority report, and gave such convincing facts in support of his argument, and in favor of the "contract system," as left no room for doubt in the minds of many members.

Mr. Mercier also sustained the majority report, as did other members; and when the ayes and noes were called on the motion of Mr. Gilmer, to non-concur, the result was announced as follows: Ayes, 13; noes, 17——thus settling the question in favor of the contract system.

That the House will follow the example of the Senate, there seems to be no doubt. Why should the State elect a printer, and not a painter, or carpenter, or bricklayer? Surely the same principle should govern in every kind of work.

Conceding that the "contract system" will be the one adopted, we only ask that every printer who wishes to do so may have an opportunity to bid for the work. Let us all know what printing the State wishes to be done, and how, and then let us put in our own bids, giving security for the faithful performance of our contract. Every printer should be able to take care of his own interests, and the one that cannot do so, should retire from the contest.

NATIONAL BANK OF VIRGINIA.

The stockholders of the National Bank of Virginia have elected the following gentlemen to serve as Directors for the ensuing year:

Charles T. Wortham,
David Currie,
George W. Gilliam,
James Thomas, Jr.,
John P. Ballard,
Matthew Blair,
Lewis D. Crenshaw,
E. O. Nolting,
A. F. Harvey,
J. M. Talbot,
John Purcell,
George W. Williams,
Samuel T. Suit.

This bank will shortly remove from its present location in the Custom-house, to its spacious and handsome building, corner of Main and Eleventh streets, where it will be better prepared to accommodate its customers. Although the bank has realized a handsome per centage on the past half year's business, its Directors have deemed it judicious not to declare any dividend, but to carry to its surplus fund the entire profits.


FREEDMEN'S LABOR.

From various sections of the State we learn that the freedmen are making contracts for the year with farmers, and that large numbers of them are seeking employment in the neighborhood of Richmond. We have always contended that, as soon as the holidays were over, these people would go to work in earnest, and that farmers would have no difficulty in hiring them at living prices. We are quite sure that any number may be employed at similar prices paid for them in 1860; and certainly no one ought now to expect them to work for less.

GENERAL SWEENEY DISMISSED.

The Secretary of War has issued a special order by direction of the President dismissing Brevet Colonel Thomas W. Sweeney, Sixteenth United States infantry, from the service, for absence without leave. The Nashville Union says:

We learn that Major Sweeney, whose regiment, as is well known, is stationed at this place, made application sometime since for leave of absence, which was refused. The application was made the second time with a similar result, and then Major Sweeney, without permission, absented himself from his regiment, and the above order was issued in consequence of such action. If we are not misinformed, he had been eighteen years in the regular army, and was also appointed major-general of volunteers. He holds the office of Secretary of War of the Fenian organization.

General Sweeney has issued a card to the botherhood to the effect that he declined the first invitation to attend the Fenian Congress, not recognizing the legality, and fearing insult and misrepresentation; but on the second invitation with the assurance that his presence might do much to restore peace and harmony, he waived his objection.

He says his apprehensions were not unfounded, though his arrival was greeted with apparent warmth. His efforts at conciliation were met by certain parties with insult and outrage, and he was denounced as not being a Fenian, because the Circle of which he was a member decided, as a compliment, that no pledge should be required of him, though he signified his willingness to take it.

He says there is an element of discord, composed of members from the Manhattan district, who have done and will do anything to stifle truth and prevent union, even at the price of Ireland's ruin.

A COMPLIMENT TO MAJOR-GENERAL WILSON.——The Memphis Appeal publishes in full General Wilson's report of his great raid through Alabama and Georgia. The Appeal says:

It will be read with great interest by thousands of our readers, who have been curious to see the narrative from the other side, of events, whereby the bottom was absolutely and positively punched out from the Southern Confederacy. We scarcely think General Wilson has ever received the full need of glorification to which he is justly entitled; for it is indubitable that the effect of his enterprise would have been fatal to the Confederacy, even though Richmond had not then been captured. Practically, it was a more fatal blow than Sherman's famous promenade through Georgia "to the sea."

Organized as an auxiliary force to General Canby's movement against Mobile, through the genius and dash of its commander, this expedition very soon filled the foreground of the military drama then being enacted, leaving the principal character of the programme quite out of view. While Wilson and his bold riders of nine thousand were dashing into Selma, and thence through Montgomery to Columbus, and so on to the chief city of Georgia, Canby and his hosts, besieging Spanish Fort, were quite lost sight of. He is, we learn, a very young man, but we predict for him a brilliant career as a soldier, should he follow the profession of arms, and the opportunity be afforded him for the exercise of his genius. His report affords traces of his having carefully studied the career of his great prototype, General Forrest, whom he much resembles in the brilliancy and dash of his operations. 

COLONEL JOHN B. CARY, Of HAMPTON.——We are informed that this distinguished gentleman is a canditate for the position of store-keeper to the penitentiary. Colonel Cary is more widely and more favorably known in Virginia, perhaps, than any man who has not been in political life. He has been, for more than twenty years, devoted to the promotion of the educational interests of the State; and at the breaking out of the war, had built up, by his great energy and fine attainments a school which promised to become the Rugby of Virginia.

It is within the personal knowledge of the present writer who boasts the kind regard and intimate acquaintance of Colonel Cary, that he has dispensed a larger and more generous patronage, perhaps, than any man in all the State. He sent forth annually from the lecture rooms of his academy, young gentlemen and ladies to go abroad through the South as teachers, many of whom received instructions without money and without price. His influence, although silent, was very great, and it was exercised in so judicious a manner as to entitle him to the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

In his profession he was an enthuiast, and his well-directed efforts were rewarded with abundant honors and success. The war summoned him to a new field of duty, and destroyed beyond restoration the noble establishment he had erected at Hampton.

With such a record, with such a career of past usefulness to refer to, with his extensive acquaintance and large influence in Eastern Virginia, we look forward very confidently to his election; and we can assure the Assembly that no man in all this region would be more acceptable to our people, as will be testified by the delegates from tide-water. Norfolk Virginian.
