Secretary FIoyd's Mule Contracts.

The Occidental (Mo.,) Messenger has the
following remarks upon the Court of En-
quiry recently assembled at Fort Leaven-
worth:
Secretary Floyd lately called together at
Fort LeavenwOrth board of officers To in
vestigate the conduct of Capt Van Vliet, in
buying mules for the Utah army. The
charges against Capt. Van Vliet were that
lie had not given big enough prices for the
mules purchased. and that he had rejected
mules that came NJ 10 the standard speci-
fed.
In the evidence adduCed. it appears that
Secretary Floyd, instead of permitting Capt.
Van Vliet TO buy the mules from all who Of
icTed, restricted him TO purchase 1900 from
Trigg and Kirby 1000 from ID. Mitchell, and
$50 from G.. y. lIebb. The mules were to
I've one third ID hands high, one third IL
hands high, and one third l3} hands high.
For those mules Sl6j per head was allowed.
Mitchell and Trigg and Elliott suhlet the
contract, for which they received SIS per
head from tie Sub-contractors for all the
mules received. Many of the mules offered
were rejected. which, together with the price
allowed by Van Nliet, created so much dis
satisfaction that the investigation was order
ed.
Had the Government bought the mules in
open market, as is usual, instead of giving
"A monopoly to these favorites, they would
have been supplied ON better terms, and all
would have reaped the benefit of the demand
There is a clear profit of SIS per head al
lowed these favOriteS for mules, amounting
in all to $4,000 TO Triggs i Kirby for
2,4s6 mules received from them. Sl4,l9O
TOD. d. Mitchell, for 946 mules received
from him, making S5l $50 paid to fi,vorites
who never turned their hands over, but LEI
Others furnish the mules for which they ex
tracted this sum, because they had the
power.
In all former expeditions by Government
ali citizens were permitted an equal chance
/. 20 furnish stock, hut so corrupt has tht
parties in power become that contracts ar,
given 10 favOTites, and then because the Off
GERS would not pay two prices for stock
they are court martalcd.
No wonder that the SIS, 100000 surplu
in the treasury at the beginning of Mr.. Blu
chanan's reign is gone, and debt for Dor
rowed money of $40, 900 more created
If things are permi tied to go on at this rat,
we shall soon have public debt as large a
that of England.

The CROPs or GREEN RIVIERA CORES
pondent at Calhoun. on Green river, writes
that the corn in that vicinity is fully an av-
erage crop. But wheat has not turned out
more than half a crop. The tobacco docs
not fully come up to the expectations of
farmers either in quality or weight. The
hay crop was good and large for the amount
of land in grass. The ravages Of the hog
cholera will so reduce the pork that the
farHer5 will not have more than enough for
their ewn consumption. Spectators are
bringing hogs into the country TO feed and
n good many viii be packed on the river.

Accompanying this hand you copies of
recent communications from the Honorary
Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Co. and
myself, to Mr.. DeSanty, the chief electrician
at Trinity Bay Office. Mr.. DeSanty's an
swers will be furnished for publication with
out any unnecessary delay. deem it proper
to state, as the result of my enquiries con-
corning the dispatch of Thursday, from
Trinity Bay, announcing the resumption of
perfect signals through the Cable from Va
lentia, that the announcement was made
through dispatch from the Superintendent
of the land lines in New Foundland, to the
Agent OF the Associated Press, and was un-
questiOnably reported in good faith; but as
the information had not been confirmed yet
by Mr.. DeSanty, who alone has full knowl-
edge of all the facts, | regard the statement
as possibly premature. 1t is conjectured
that the shore end of the Cable of Valentia
must be taken up for n distance of several
miles, which by reason of bad weather or
other unavoidable difficulties may occupy
three or four weeks. The depth of water
within 200 miles of the Irish coast is about
200 10 400 fathoms, and it is not doubted
that even $50 miles of the Cable could be
raised ii deemed necessary.
Respectfully, &C.,
CYRUS w. FIELD.

THE OLIVE TREE.-It has generally been
believed that the olive tree cannot be grown
in this section of the country, except under
the protection of green house or without
artificial heat The senior editor of this
journal has had a tree in his garden for near
" twenty years. which has received no pro-
lection whatever, and has never been per-
ceptibly injured by cold. 1t has produced
fruit several years, AID in 1916 he exhibited
them at the Agricultural Fair Of the State,
and received silver cup rs a premium.
The form of the tree is spreading, about
twenty feet high, and the body five to six
inches in diameter There is now on ii
considerable fruit, which may find It's way
to the next Fair. He has two other smaller
trees. from seven to ten feet high, which
have never been injured by cold. He would
also mention an experiment he has tried
with the Wild Olive this season. Believing
that We had tree in our forests that was
the true wild olive, he ingrafted one of them
near the ground, with two gratis, both Of
which have lived, and have grown from two
to three feet. This clearly proves that the
stock grated is the Wild olive, and IL is very
probable the hardness of the olive tree
| might be improved by thus grating it.
Whether the olive tree could he cultivated
here 10 q profit, il question will not at
tempt 20 decide. But il is desirable 10 raise
ii, even if it be for no other purpose than
| curiosity or an ornamental tree.-Georgic

NEW YopE Sent Or,

Another steamer announces that she saw
a vessel on fire as reported by the steamer
Rosentreath The sides of the burning
ship were falling in; her gunwale was lying
on the starboard but its colors could not be
ascertained. The ship passed around the
stem, but no name could be distinguished.
1t is supposed that she had been burning 40
hours. \ brig was sighted four miles TO
the leeward, but 10 boats or any signs OF
sufferers were seen in the distance. The
figure head as described corresponds with
that of the steamer Austria, which was that
of an Austrian eagle. There is little doubt
that the Austria is the Inflated vessel.
