Quartermaster's Trials.

One of orr exchanges has an army correSpon-
dent whose geological researches have brought
him in contact with that mlch-abused class of
officers known as quaytcrmastcrS, and he gives the
result of his Investigations as follows:
Stories have been told of large sums having
been paid bv deuded individuals for situations as
regimental quartermasters. These stories may
have been true; but, to judge from the universal
testimony Of the quartermastcrs hereabouts, IL
must have been done under some very singular
haucination to the emolumcnts to be derived
from such situation. Look, tor q moment, upon
Wonder man who wears pair Of first lieutenant's
shoulder straps, and exhibits careworn and des-
pairing countenance, as he, bestriding Mcclellan
saddle on an animal of the equine species, con-
VOWS a train of :. long cared locomotives,
attached to army wagons. In his breast pocket
he carries huge file Of papers, and worried
heart beneath it, Well, that is a regmental quar-
termaster, as is Indicated by the mysterious
go. ID. upon the poor devils shoulder straps.
This is however, by no means necessary to
identify him. His species is as plainly stamped
MN his countcnancc as the mjSeries of his sltua-
ton are certain The horrors ofthe 'sinquisition'
are nothing to the horrors OF requisition!" The
REGIMENT on the one hand, and the government on
the other, are the Scylla and Charybdis-the
upp.r and neither mistones,-between which
the poor regimental quartermaster is ground to
powder.
The regiment demand the government rations,
in all their variety and abundance, under all cir
cunstances and in all places, and the extra ration
of whskey to boot. If these are not forthcoming
they take the recreant regimeutal quartermaster
by the throat with 81 Pay me what thou owest!
