''A N'''irH'@N'4
who's Business Il IA.

General Mcclellan very properly issued an
order, some weeks ago, prohibiting fast driving
and riding by the officers and soldiers of the
army. For short time--a very short time
the order seemed TO check the very reprehen.
stblo practice. But it is no longer observed or
enforced, and horses are now ridden and driven
through our streets at II speed that not only
endangers human life, but destroys the lives
OF many of the animals. II Is stated, by those
who profess to know, that from four to six, or
eight dead horses are dragged from the horse
yard in tho first ward daily. This Is just what
we might expect. The manner they arc driven
by brutal two legged creatures, and ridden by
inhuman officers and soldiers, will Of course
destroy them. No horse can stand such treat.
ment These horses cost the Government on
the average, sl25 each, and us probably fifteen
or twenty are killed daily in this vicinity by
brutal treatment, he who can multiply the
numbers together, can estimate how much
Uncle Sam has to pay for The lack of proper su.
percussion, care, and order. Gen. Mcclellan can
only give the proper order it belongs to somo
one else to see that it is enforced. Who is it?
