Swimming Ho~r.es--A Ca utton.

Near Mlnden, IN l. u%isisna. some weeks
ago, seventy-niae horses and Mexican pom es
we're drowoed in attempting to swim the
Bayou ID rshart. The loss WAS estimated at
about five hundred dollars. This heavy loss
might have been saved, by a very little eau
ton. Horses are generally good swimmers,
but if they see other horses upon the oppo-
site ,iie, they will invariably steer their
course towards them. Hence there should
be placed two or three horses 10 sight Of those
about to be swim, at the place where you
with them to land. Then rush them 10, tax.
ing care not to let 100 many enter At once;
aud they will cross. 10 the case of the hiss
az Mlndrn, there were two horses stanck &
uyou the oank sDne distance below the plsce
Of landing. Those upon the opposite side,
as they entered the Bayou, steered their
course to them, at a pa,nt where was lying q
iorg keel boet in deep water. They piled
upon each other against this, struggled q
wnile, and dr,wned Def re relief could te
gi~ven.--l ouny'S Spirit Of The South.

MuIe

A Court Of Inquiry was IN session ten days
ago ut Fort Leavenwurth to investigate toe
conduct of Qiarlernas er Van pllet, for al
legged disobedieUce vi orders 10 the matter oil
mule purchases. Tnus gravely arraigaed,
we might suppose that Capt. v. hal been
making money Oft the contracts; but, We
learn irou, the st 'u!s Democrat, much t.
our surprise, that the Issue Is that the latter
has been too exacIns IN bis dealings Win
the cuntractoys-tnat IN several cases he re-
jected mules which Trey sllege came ~ to tue
specifications OF the Department, and that the
price ne set on thvse which he accepteI was
below their market value. lie is alsJ accus-
ed Of parti4lt to a few OF the contractors;
but the gravauen OF tie charges against hiL'
is that be refused, as the agent u the GtV-
ernment, to accept all the mules which were
utfered to him ty some Contractors, ana also
abused the discretionary power with which
be va, Invested, by p~aEl"gtuem prices whicb,
though in reality exorbitant, we're below the
calculations Of their capldlty. As a part OF
the history Of this uule purchase, We take
the following expose from the Democrat
RicA. Whiy.
at is wiuin our knowledge that Colonel
C%ros-man, ID. q G., several mouths ago,
when stationed IN this city, received a pre-
posal lrom Mesers. Caldwell i G:ary, OF la
dlapapoll-, Texas, to supply the u ivernment
with all the mules they required, and deliver
them at Fort l. ~.avenwortn, at prices varying
from $S5 to 500 a head. Their letter to
that effect was forwarded to Washington, and
i, now on file in the War Department. Cald-
we'll Il Gesry ale we'll known to several Off
GERS OF the army, and 10 the qaarjermaster
general, and to other gentiemen high 10 OIL
flee. If their rfHr were acc pied, the job
blng would be curtailed. This could not DO
endured, 80 instead of giving $I5 a bead for
mules, they gave $500, or more than twice the
sum. We nave been Informed that Senator
Davis, OF Mississippi, has been put IN posses
sion OF these facts, and also one or two men

Heavy r.n..e,, In ambsrgr,s.

Schooner Watchman, Captain Charles W..
Hussey, Of Nantucket, returned TO that port
about two weeks since. from q whaling cruise
in the Atlantic ocean, having been absent
about a year. While cruising in Sam Bay
the schooner captured . sperm whale, IRON
which was obtained eleven barrels OF OIL,
worth about $3.50. The most valuable part
Of the whale, which was a very large cne'
aud 10 a peri-hing condition when STRUCK,
consisted, however, 10 the extraordinary Sc
cretIou 10 the in,esti es OF about SIX hun
dred pounds Of ambeTgris, q solid, Opaque
inhammabIe substance, possessing q peculiar
scent, which i: always retains. The amber
girls is supposed to be the product OF a dis
ease OF the liver, since 1t ls found 10 whales
of a sick and lean appearance, which, being
struck with a lance, or frightened by the az
proaoh of a boat, give Indications ot III
health by emitting a yell wish secretion
which colors the water. IL Is found 10 no
other than the spermaceu whale, snd Is
usually found 10 lamps weighing from one
to tbuty pounds. The largest pIese before
known weighed one hundred and eignty't"o
pounds, AID was purchased OF the h'ns OF
Tiuore by the Dutch East India Company.-
Another piece found inside a whale near the
Windward Islands was sold for IoOO storl.
ing. The article uelts easily ieto u kItd OF
yellowish resin, and is soluble 10 alcohol, Ia
which state it il used as a perfume. 1t Is
also employed in refining gold, and in barn-
ing incense in churches. The article, how
ever, is rarely obtained, and from its search
ty commands a great price, selling at lrom
ten to sixteen dollars az ounce. Ine quau-
tity obtained ty Capt. Hussey was, upon his
arrival, shippeu to this city, and stored i1r
a single night 10 a store on the city wharf.
The owneIs Of the schooner hoped to realiz
st, 900 from the sale oi 1t, aud. TO quad
against loss, obtaiocd a policy OF Insurance
ADD set a watch over it. The next day the
entire quantity was sold TO an euterprlsing
firm of druggists in this city for the large
