How They Fare.

The Richmond Examimer-pretty good
carbohydrates US an idea of how the Com.
misarait is administered. Of one company
visited by him he says,
A company of volunteers, encamped with
in fsw hours journey of their respective
homes, during period of six weeks in mid
summer, had neither fresh meat or vegetables
allowed them. They had but one az in camp,
and one old hatchet-no hammers, saws or
other necessary tools, not even nails-not a
pot IN which to boil or stew. until the writer
borrowed one for them of his own motion
from neighboring farmer. They had not .
single large fork, spoon or ladle, but one
common meat knife-no chopper, no FIRE
tongs or shovel, no pot hook-only four
wooden trays of the smallest sias--of buckets,
about one ofthe common size, painted inside,
to dozen men-and of basins still fewer
about half as many tin cups and plates, and
knives and forks as thsre are men in the
company. Many were without change of
clothes for weeks together. They had not a
match-safe or tinderbox, no servicable Ian
tern OF lamps. Not ovens or pans enough to
cook whole meal at time-no washerwo.
man, as allowed by the Regulations" nor
other servants whatsoever. Their meat was
nearly all fried, and their rations, wastefully
prepared and wretehsdly cooked, hardly ev-
er went round without some ones being
shared out. No wood was ever brought but
such as the cooks dragged from the forest
near by. The only time the men were al.
lowed to battle was Immediately after supper.
They were of6cered by a West Point Cap.
tain, and all their officers were gentlemen Of
refined culture, who kept their own servants,
their own table. and ignored as much as pos.
sible the existence Of the men when off duty.
Their Qqartermaster and Comn,issary, who,
for the company, are one person, was as u.s.
qal. Sergeant. who. as is customary, sva.
ded as much as possible the duties of the
Commissariat
It's not because they cannot do better than
this that this state of things EXISTS, but it is
rather owing to the fact that those who got
this rebellion up are endeavoring to make as
much as practicable out of their bogus gov
ernment while the thing is going, and Con-
federate bonds will sell at all, and one more
planter be swindled out of his crop, "Make
hay while the sun Shines" is the motto of
every Commissary and Quartermaster in the
Confederate army, for "lo, the night CON-
eth when no man can labor"

CoxPLIMENrARY.-Edwin Bell, the ST. Louis
correspondent of the Sacramento Union, pays
the Germans of that place (St. Louis) the fol.
lowing handsome compliment:
Talk as we may of American patriotism
and courage, the Germans thus far in the
conflict have shown themselves far the supe-
rors of the native born citizens. 1t is brave,
l acknowledge, to face the enemy on the bat
tie field and never Aineh-but it is even bra
yer to face 3 strong public sentiment and do
what you think is right, regardless of the
consequences. This the Germans of St. Louis
will do every time. verify believe they
would express their sentiments even were the
secessionists of this city three times as for
midable."

THE PRoNIscUoUs Wire SYsrEx.-M. Jules
visited Utah overland from California, in
1855, and in his book, lately published, talks
of Mormon polygamy in this wise:
A first wife who should refuse permission
to her husband to take q second, is condemn.
ed by the law, because she has not done as
Sarah did when she gave Hagar to Abraham,
and as Rachel and Leah did when they gave
Bilhah aud Zalipha to Jacob. The husband
has portion of the house to himself, the
wives liys all together. just as is practised
in the East. The first married enjoys GER
tain ascendancy over the others. Saints who
can afford it live in separate house from
their wives. A third system obtains Of each
wife having separate house, and the hus-
band boards and lodges in each alternately
for twenty four hours. The wives must look
upon each other as sisters, and the children
cal all, except their own mothers, aunt
Tney are distinguished sometimes by their
Christian names, as Mrs. Mary Angel, Mrs.
Jane Angel, and so on; but the President
numbers his, Mrs. Young No. l, Mrs. Young
No. 2, and so on-no doubt to assist his
memory When wife has conceived, the
husband is dispensed from all marital duties
towards her. The Mormons have spgularly
reduced the limits of relationship yithin
which marriage is forbidden among Chris.

9th .rs have married mother and daughter.
A certain Watt married his half sister.
As to the effects Of this system on popula-
ton, it seems that births are fewer in pro-
portion, than among an equal class of mon
ogamists; the mortality of children is greater
than elsewhere, though the climate is very
healthy; and. as though nature submitted
herself to the artificial demand, there are
great many more girls born in Utah than
boys. Brigham Young, who has nearly
thirty wives, is said to have only thirty chill
drcn living, and many of his wives are ster-
lie. There is only one descendant of Joseph
Snith nov existing on the face of the earth.
