The enormous charges for goods sold by
dicrs for months past. Each regiment in the
army has its sutler, appointed By the Colonel,
and taxed ten cents i month for each soldier
in The regiment: By careful inquiry among
the paymasters, find that each soldier pays
the sutlcr an average Of five dollars per month.
the suffers receipts during the month
would be five thousand dollars. His
profits are over 100 per cent, but, to make It
an even figure, We will say that he nets cent
per cent: profit, which wonld allow, him to

s4co, and he ' las then ss,oo6j ieft as as lis net

Of the suffers business, though many Of them
citing s, 900. Now what docs the soldier re-
ceivc in return for his money? One Of the
principal items is stale pies, made principally
in New York, and sent to Washington, whert
they are purchascdby by suffers at SM9 to y cent?
apiece By the hundred, and retallcd IN tht
camps at 20 cents apiece.
Another principal item Of the sutlers' mer

Of gloves. nittens, socks, and unde1shirts

The claims Of Chicago cannot easily be set
aside. The commerce Of the great Western
lakes and the States bordering On those lakes,
together with the commerce Of the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys and the States
drained by those rivers, should in Itself de-
n,and that in the location Of tic great A1nory
Of the Vest, safe, central and convenient
point should be chosen, where millions Of
loyal people can be promptly rallied to the
tipicity of avenues by land and By water
supply abundant and rapid means Of COM
mnnicatiou and transit between tho Ar
mo1y and the various States and Terrific
RIGS Of the WeEt. Chicago possesses that i'd
yantagcin m eminent degree. The ,Sost coun-
try bordering On Lakes Michigan and Superior
aad Huron would be easily supplied from Chi
cago. The various lines Of railway which con
meet that city with the States and Territories
west of the Lakes supply the means for prompt
and safe communication and transportation at
ill seasons Of The year. The already great and
rapidly increasing commercial interests Of the
West should override the comparatively insig.
ni6cant interests Of strictly local nature, in
rival localities. Commerce has most obviously
designated Chicago as tho great clearing
ho11Ec and market place Of the West; and the
Government would act wisely in imitating hel
choice. The Straits Of Mnckinaw can be easily
guarded for the protection Of tho cities and
shipping Of the lakes by two powerful floating
batteries, ATTENDED By var steamer in peaci
and feet Of gun boats in war. Those et1aitE
should be guarded irrespective Of tue location
Of thc Armory. Light houses and ha1bo1s O
refuge ehould be provided On all Of the uppe1
lakes. Heretofore; Western commerce anG

Whatever may be the purposes Of General
Mcclellan. the army is busily preparing for
itself comfortable winter quarters. Log cab
ins arc going up in all directions along the
lines in Virginia. The men are a1l husily en-
ployed upon these ncW habitations. The
models are AS yarious as are the tastes OF the
occupants. Many of the new buildings are
the requirements Of 4 comfortable family res
idence Of humble pretensions. a large pro-
portion Of them arc built separate, while 9TH
ers arc connected into "block" or row,
with 4 division pole between each "mess:''
The materials used arc poles, averaging six
inches In diameter, and when walled up the
roof is matched with corn-stalks, spruce
boughs, or other suitable material, and coy-
cred with earth. The cracks between the poles
wood can be conveniently obtained, it is heWn
or split into planls, and the walls arc built Of
these.
Winter t'quarters'' for the cavalry horses
arc also being prepared, many Of them very
warm and quite dry and comfortable. The
covering for the roof is usually similar to that
for the men, and the sides are closed IN with
spruce boughs.. These preparations are not
to be rsseISed IS positive sStdcaes that *,a tie
nos occupy. They are probably not the re'
suit Of orders from headquarters, but are the
evidences Of industry, and facility which q
large portion Of the men in the army have o1

the vessel and rebel steamer, in which the
following extraordinary exploit Of 8 1iacd can

"During the action think We hit her four

and took the deck in the passage way, between
two state-rooms, and completely cut of
eighteen Of the deck plank, and then struck a

Washington Yankee1zed.

tFIOI l1e washington ltepuOuCau4 aLl
Washington is essentially Yankee city, at
the present time. In every department, busi-
ness Is thriving TO degree unparalleled in it's
history. Real estate las advanced to unc1-
pectcd figures and it is a matter Of impossi-
bi1ity to find suitable accommodations for the
vast influx Of business pouring in upon US.
Enterprise is now the watclrword, where a
short year ago inactivity and decay prevailed.
Vigorous competition las reduced the price OF
many Of the necessaries Of life. Old monopo-
lies have been scattered to the winds, and the
consumer generally is benefited By the change.
The Washington Of to-day is totally different
from the Washington Of 1850. Many are unac,
quainted with the cause Of the transformation,
and look with wondering eyes at what is only
q legitimate consequence. The fact is, the
nntiIuated coaches Of the past regime have
rolled away, and the lightning locomotives Q!
No1therm entTgy replace them Thus will it BIT
in other attitudes than this. The fossil re-
mains Of an obsolete idea Will but serge
