A writer in the Ekrurtr, who signs birn- ""salf by volunteering as the champion of the Secretary of War, teems to imply that that officer ts the author of this system of oppreasoa of folly, which tramples ander foot every principle of civil liberty. Mr. Sedden may, for aught that we know, approve mod uphold Uua system, w e sup poet be does, as it is coatinoed under his au thority. But it existed long befoie be came into office, and the general impression was - thai the seaeaneybad Us origin -iu thu'Coni miaiariat Department There, it waa sup posed, those iBreoious tables, averaging pri ces for the last jfSes years to determine pre Mot value, were concocted. - Wbv did ther not take the last fifty years for aa average f I tbem a barrel of moliut. A FEMALE RAID. , ,, .'Between 40 and 60 soldiers' wives, follow- ad by a numerous train of curious female ob servers, made an attack on several of our bo- last Wednesday, whom they re garded as speculators ia the necessaries of Lie, for the purpose, as we are informed, of demanding an abatement in prices, or forci- quired. The Drat bouse visited was Mr. at. Brown's. They demanded be should sell them flour M 19.50 per barrel thia' be declined to do, atfedging that his flour bad coat him more than twice that num. They then said they were determined to have the flour, and would take it, unless he would tell it to them at the price Government was paying for it; and accordingly went to work with hatchets on his store room door. After some time 'pent in rain efforts to open the door, a parley waa had, and Mr. Brown agreed, to girt them, fret oPchsrge, ten barrels, if that would se Wy iheut They accepted liie offer, tht flour waa rolled out and hauled off. ' Tbey next visited Mr. John Enniss, of t)e firm of Henderson & Enniss, aud made a simi lar demand on bun. He gave them three barrels of flour. Tbey next called on Mr. Fraokford, who, it is reported, told them he had not been speculating in provisions, and that be now had nothing in his store but himself u so la dies if you take any thing here, you will have to take wer-yes. take .

Thert bad been outfe as much logic in tbem as the last Ova. And, indeed, u taey naa goat back to 79, there would have been souie auow of fitness isr the thing, -r Bat whether the Secretary of War, or the starry writer, himself be the author of this system" which ' sets' astdt aU bw and turns loose spoa the country a mt of robbers to "Vprey at wi2 upon the people, it is bootless to nqatra.

This completed the day's wot t The nes t morning was spent in settling the question of division a delicaterand as it proved, a diffi cult question. There was sooie disputing, flashing of eyes, and some angry words. It was, however, accomplished, whether satis factorily to all or no, we cannot say.
