SEVENTEEN YEAR.
GIN GIN Att
WEEKLY GAZETTE
FOR 1862.

THE gre at war in which we are now en-
gaged for the integrity of the Union and the
indivisibiFty of onr country, will render the
Ginning year oDe of the most memorable and
eventful in the history of nations.
The readers of the GAZETTE may rely upon
receiving each week the fullest possible sum
mary Of the current incidents and events mark
ing the progress of this gigantic struggle, as
we'll as all matters of interest from other quar-
ters of the world; while the peaceful pursuits
of life shall receive such attention as their i'm
portance may demand, and the exigencies of war
admit of.
Under the pressure of news now existing,
the large size of the Gazette is an important
conside alton to those who tuke only weekly
paper, as 1t enables them to obtain much more
complete and satisfactory view of the field
No paper East Or West r ublishes greater a
mount Of reading matter, aud none is furnished
| at lower price, in proportion to the extent and
variety of its contents. 1t also has the advant
age of laying the telegraphic reports before
Western subscribers several days in advance of
the time they can be had through the Eastern
press. Our fill special dispatches from Wash
ington give us all the important inform alton
from there, as early as it reaches New York
We also claim that it is better adapte to the
wants of western readers than any paper that
l. published in another section of the country,
and respectfully invite comparison of its mer
its with those If any of its cotemporaries. -
Our extensive special correspondence from the
| various divisions and encampments of the wes-
tern Military Departments, will form feature
| of particular value and interest to those having
friends or relatives in the army
Great pains will be taken to make the com,
cal and agricultural departments interesting to
subscribers. An important feature in this con
nection, will be reliable reports of live stock
markets, prepared expressly for the Gazette, to-
gethsr 18th full summary of all the leading
cattle markets of the country, rates Of freigh ON
stock. &c.

LOUISVILLE, Sept ga gentleman Just
arrived in this city from Richmond fn-
forms the Journal that he was captured
at Matthias Point on his way to the North
and returned for trial to Richmond.
He reports the number of troops In Vir-
ginia greatly exaggerated in the North aud
in Richmond; that the aetual number will
not exceed 10000 in the State, many of
whom are down with sickness-in sub
stance corroboratiug statements of South

He further says that on Saturday last
Davis was very i'll aud little hopes were
of his recovery.

Richmond proved an Englishman and was

b6-NoT DRcLINEp.-Major oakes, whose
arrival in the city We noticed yesterday
morning, has not declined the Brigadier
Generaiship rendered him by the Presi-
dent. He still holds the natter under adj
yiscment. Owing 70 long standing and
painful bodily aHlictiOn, the result of
wounds received in the Government SER
vice on the frontier, he hesitates about ac-
eeptiug position which he feels confident
would impair his health. If the position
called him South, where there would be
90 cold blasts and frosts to encounter, the
AajOS would doubtless accept without hes
itAtioni but cold weather would be death
on him. We hope he may yet decide to
accept the position, which be is so emf
Oently ct to occupy, aud that the Govern
neut may End 1t advisable 10 send him
South.

a. snAnEYvL.-AbOut seventy gov

ESP ShANEFUL.-About seventy gov
eminent horses were sold At Webster, on
wednesday, at n loss OF not less than Fifty
dollars each from the cost, chiefly all be-
ing the result of bad usage in sixty days,
thus costing the government City dollars
Drr month for each two horse team for
wear and tear of horse flesh. Aud we mo-
ticed that many horses now in use look
moi much better of than those that were
sold. II is thus rendered plain enough
that tie managers of the wagon depart
uent are shamefnlly incompetent for their
duties ANY body knows that there is no
need of wearing out n horse in sixty days.
We are Informed that twelve pounds only
of oats per day are allowed to ench horse,
which is just half enough for steady work.
Grgjtoa KiEgiRiGR.
We suppose that the horses alluded to
above are "sum akin" to the lot purchased
in this section Of the country for govern
ment service. Ifso, We are astonished
that they lasted the half of sixty days.
Nearly all the old crow-baits ia this sec
ton "eulisted." They were Sucked up by
the owners and paImed OF upon the Gov
eminent for double what they were worth,
and it was no uncommon thing to bear the
owners Boosting of how they had swim
died Uncle Sam, through his agents. We
do not believe that the government agents
acted dishonesty, it was only ignorance
inexcusable ignorance. Men undertook
tn do that which they were incompetent to
perform, which is quite rs bad asif they
were criminally guilty, for the loss to the
government is the same as If they had sto-
len fifty dollars for every horse they bought.
In case Of this kind kaave is no worse
than au ignoamus. Some people seem to
think that it is all right and proper to swim
die the government whenever they can get
chance but for our part VIC never could
see the difference, in moral point of view,
between stealing dollar from n single
person and stealing five cents from twenty
different persons. Individually or collec-
lively, its all the same.

p% A QUEER CUsroMER AND Low
Down TnIEF.-There is a queer old Gus
toner by tue name of Andrews who comes
about the city at least once year from
nobody knows where and disappears mys-
teriously nobody knows when. He is
fond of whisky aud is little vrong about
the head, one being the consequence Of
the other. He was found not long ago ly-
ing in the yard of gentleman who re-
sides in East Wheeling, apparently about
giving up the ghost, whilst merciless
rain pelted upon him. Upon being mp
preached he remarked that he was merely
studying the planetary system. Re said he
never slept in the house but when night
came he went 70 tue woods and fields
where he could have full view of the
starry ornament Night before last hc
went to tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Depot aud was brought to halt by one
of the guard who stuck bayonet at him.
The old fellow begged not to be assaulted,
stating that he was making for the woods
to study tho planetary system Having a
pretty heavy load OF a fayOrite beverage on
board he was taken to stable near by
and put to bed IKE a soldier. In the morn-
ing when he awoke he discovered that
during the night some of the low down
thieves who "mOst do congregate" about
the stable aforesaid had robbed him of
thirty-scven and half cents in change, a
Barlow knife, a pocket comb and plug of
dOg.leg tobacco. You couldn't PIT man
any place where these expert young thieves
couldn't rob him. Some of their exploits
would do honor to the execution of Char
ley Bates or the instruction of Jew Fagin.
