FLASH IN THE PAy.-The grand inspection Of
amy horses commentator Saturday morning. agreeaby
% notice. For the sake of tue Government we arc
cory to say it miserable failure, and that at this
rate there ia small probability Of securing the thousand
horses required before our Grand Army is safely quar-.
tered in the Crescent CITY. Up to 10 o'clock at which
time our reporter visited the depot in East Twenty
fourth street. only fifteen snimaIs-mares gedings aud
ponieshad been offered for inspection, and Of these
only five had passed mu ter. Tue subjects main
" large city dray-hoes for which the owners have
no present use. The advertisements call for none
der l5 hands in hight the majority of those in the
bles yesterday full l6 should think Most Of
them were of dark c. 'ors and bad long tails.
There can be no question but that Government is in
immediate want of moro than a single thousand
horses for beside the necessities Of the bdggage-trsin
we are miserably deficient in good cavalry and artillery
horses In some cases, as for instance at Newport
News, there are not sadde.hores enough with whole
division 10 furnish mounts for tie staff officers The
only thing TO settle, then, is how to procure the
qned number Of horses Of the best quality at the least
cost, and in the briefest time. We think il be
done to the perfect satisfaction Of Government in this
msnner Let lhreo four Of the most intelligent and
Trustworthy Of the drovcrs, who IN the constant
haiti Of collecting droy Of horses 10 the country and
bringing them to our city market, be employed, at rea-
tonabe wages % select thousand hores and for
ward them TO the inspecting depot in this city. These
agents should be required to buy only such IS answer
TO the specifications Of the official advertisement and
should have the option Of price long as they make
their whole purchase average at about si5O per head
OF couse their purchases should pass muster here, for
il otherwise they would have strong teupission TO
palm of inferior $1j brutes at the maximum Govern.
ment price. No doubt any number Of good, strong,
young horses be bought in Tompkns and the ada
cent counties for $00 To $25 each but their owners
are 70 engaged in the hay and harvest fields that they
would not bring them TO tho city at any price this
month. We feel quite confident Of being sbe TO
several horse- dealers who would fulfil Government
commission Of this kind in conscientious and satisfac
tory manner
