A letter to the New Orleans Bee, from
che Rio Grsnde, says: 1.-Two hundred
Government horses were sold a, auction
a few days ago, at an awful sacrifice, not
averaging more than ten dollars head,
they probably cost each ten times that
sum"
This reminds us Of the transactions Of
ihe Florida war, when steamboat wood
was furnished to the Government at fifty
dollars per cord, and bacon which cost
fhe Government twelve cents a pound
was sold at two and three cents, and
bought rp by the contractors to be again
sold 10 Uncle Sam. When we see the
stems in the account Of this Mexican war,
this sale Of horses will, by comparison,
prove 10 be mere circumsfanee. Many
large fortunes will be made by Govern-
meni favorites a, the expense Of the peo-
pie Of the United States. There are a
class of men in this country who, & con-
suited, wonld never have the country in a
state Of peace; not that they fight the bat
ties Of the country, or are inspired by the
smbitiea 70 wiH name. No such ideas
enter into their heads. They stay al
home and make money. Jobs and con
tracts are the fields of their ambition, and
the greater the expense incurred by the
country the wider is the 6eld of their ex
pioits.-PeiersbuFg Intelligeneer.
