The Gaiety Of washington City.

The Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
Times thus speaks Of the gaiety Of that city.
Washington is Just ROW lively beyond al
precedent. Three tbesteTs, two ciEcu5e5, and
two hybrid places Of Emuseuents known re-
spectively as Canterbury and Olympic Hal, be-
sides q dozen smaller places of enjoymens, are
in full blast, and are nightly jsmmed to repls-
ton. Hacks BY the hundred, filed with pleas
ure-seek1ug parties, are necessarily dashing
hisber and thither; gsily dressed squestris1s
canter about the avenues and dense crowds OF
happy, Ticaly-dEessed pedestrians thrOBg the
sidewalks at all hours. The skeleton in our us-
tional closet isn't suspected of existence in this
section the gigantic war affects people as little
as If il were being wsged between the HJien-
tots and Senegam6ians.
The irrppressible Barnum is also hera lee
turing on Sundays, in the Capital grounds, tpOn
temperance, ana on other days exchanging
views of Commodore Mutt, Ten Thumb, grizzly
| bears, etc, for the quarters snd halves Of tho
citizens, in which transaction be- As usual gets
much the best Of the bargain. Jus. now there
is more interesting newspaper war raging be-
| tween him and Nixon, the proprietor OF a rival
circus in which BirnUm Is as usual, ahead, and
has shown that in the use Of abuse, he Is BY
far the biggest blackguard Of the twO.
Maggie Mitchell, at Fords thsateT, on Tenth
street. has drawn crowded houses for six cousec-
utive weeks, and in addition, has turned the
heads Of half the spOOny shoulder SNAPS IN
Washington Nightly the stage is flooded with
bouquets, and frequently with more sUbstantial
evidences Of sdmiration, until the green houses
Of Washington and the pockets Of her admirers
are about equally empty. And thus We go-a
gay and festive community.

From the Louisville Journal
Having mentioned General Mitchell as flrn-
ishinR the only instance Of " such speculation"
within our knowledge, we perhaps might as we'll
subjoin the following Documentary testimony
on the point
LOUISVILLE, July g. I562-I am a citizen Of
Athens, Alabama, and was there when cotton
was seized at the rebel fortifcstiOus at Swan
Lake, one mile from Tennessee river Tie cot
ton, though lying at Athens was sold at Hunts
ville BY order Of General 0. II Michel, and
purchased by a man named - Clarke, a. three
cents per pound. For this cotton I offered Cen
Mitchell seven cents per pound IN gold, but be
refused to let me have i. offered seven cents
pound for said cotton 10 said Mitchell on the
day of sale and prior 10 the purchase thereof bY
said Clarke.
After this there hsd beea left from the sams
fortiEestiOn some cotton which had been used
therein, and which Eas floating in the river bot
tom or hanging about the trees. This / Cds-ed
to gather and deliver in good order, at HGnts-
vile or Athens, for oue-half, or would pay five
cents pound or $500 in gold for the lot. This
l offered in wiring to said Mitchell, which he
would not answer. then saw him, and be said
l could not havs it.
General Mitchell, about this time, issued an
order that no one could or should bay any CO..
ton without an especial psFmit from him, and I
wrote to him for permit, and be made no reply
thereto then saw him, aud be asked ne If
would pay him one cent pound for all the cot
ton I bought for q privilege Of buying, but
made him no reply, but turned on my heel and
walked off. / am, and have always been,
loyal, Union man T. W FULLER.

Vrry Good il Gnly True,

A Baltimore letter to the New York Herald,
dated October 2l, says:
1t is said that the efforts of the rebels in Ea-
rope toward the formation Of navy there have
been attended with good success, and that there
are now, in various European ports, no less than
fifteen iron clad steamers, in various stages Of
progress, of which eight are nearly ready for
ses. These eight vessels already have their AT
msneut on board, and It is said that on = given
day they, in company with the steamer ''290,'
viii rendezvous at some convenient point, and
will cross the Atlantic in company that they
will steer direct for Delaware bay, sail up the
Delaware riveI, and attack Philadelphia. The
armor Of these vessels is said 10 Be such tha5
they will be invulneTable to the effects of any
known projectiIe, while their armament is said
to embrace guns and mortsrs Of tie most sp-

the beginning Of the exploits that are expected
Of this new rebsl navy
! No doubt there is rsuch idle breg in all this
/ But It may be wise to provide against such sH
attempt. Intelligence from other sources has

/ having iron clad vessels built in European ports
! And / am informed to day that, besides the Mer

steamers now nearly ready fer sea al Richmond

QUARTERAAsTER GFEEBALB OFFICE
MAsHINGToE CITY, October IS, 1904
Hon E. N. Stanton, Secretary Of War;
SIR l have the honor to acknowledge tAe
receipt Of your letter of this date stating ths. it
has been publicly alleged that the army under
Gsnersl Mcclellan has been unable to move for
want of shoes and other supplies, which it is
the duty Of the quartermasteT's department to
furnish, and directing me to report whether
there has been any failure or neglect to furnish
shses or other supplies to that army, or to meet
promptly any requisidon for its supply upon the
department.
Every requisition for shoes, clothing and such
supplies, approved at General McClellan's
hesdqusrter $, has been promptly met and the
goods have been sent forward by rail mostly,
from this depot, with all possible speed.
Lately, special agents have been sent with
every shipment, to prevent delay upon the
route.
The greater part of the supplies were, when
called for, on hand, at this depot Such as
were not here have been ordered by telegraph
from the Philadelphia and New York depOts,
and forwarded.
The Teguisiiisns have been very large Ten
days ago 1 was assured that every such requisi-
ton had been filed and forwarded. Within the
last two days, however, new and large requisi-
tions have been received, which are being
shipped as rapidly as possible.
The supply Of clothing, shoes and other stores,
| to an army Of such sizs, must Be continuous,
like that Of great city, whose population it
equals in number. Were every man well shOd
and clothed to day, many would be in want to-
morrow.
The department has not been able instantly to
Ell all requisitioDs for horses. These rsqUisi-
tons have far exceeded any estimate. Over
thirteen thousand (I3,000) horses have been is
sued to the army on the Potomac river since the
1st Of September. The demand continues, and
the daily issues are still very large.
am, very respectfully,
Your Obedient servant

~ Among the officers Of the old army none
surpassed Van Dorm for bravery and good sol
diefship. He was well esteemed by all, and his
rapid promotion in the Confederate ermy has
been based on the credit he acquired while yet
but msior in the former service. It IS to De
feared, however, that those qualities that gained
him 80 much esteem then, have not proved mcsi
desirable in his new Positions. He lays the
plans Of his battles well, but he finds 1t out OF
bis power to move an army corps with t6at
celeritY his combinations require. Hence bis
battles are always failures, and what is gained
in them is due more TO The dogged bravery OF
his soldiers than to his own gsneralship. We
have always thought most hlghly Of Y an Dorm,
aud we hope be may yet redeem his repu alton,
though we regret thst in experimenting to 90
80, cur own Texas boys VII are under him may
be called to more serious troubles than they
have yet encountered Il ClaTlestoA Mercury,
