The Adjatant Generals Oace.

n. 3. Baker ~as appointed Adjutant
General OF this State some time 10 the
Sumner Of 1861. According to the re-
port Of the Auditing Commissioners,
the expenses of this Office, including
salary, amounted on the fret of Febru.
ary last to four thousand two hundred
aud ninety Eight dollars and eighty -one
cents. This IS what we call good pay
for the few months service rendered.
At that rate the Adjutant Generals Of
flee will be an expensive affair for the
Taxpayers Of this State by the time the
war closes.-Duduque Herald.
We fail to discover wherein any point
is made agaiDs, the Adjutant General in
the above paragraph. On the contrary
we consl Ter it a yindication Of General
Bakers economy in the conduct Of his
business. During tie time mentioned
Gen. Baker sent into the field some
twenty-,hree regiments Of infantry and
cavalry, together with thrse of batteries
artillery. The expense incurred in the
Adjutant's Office in doing this work " as
actually less than two hundred dollars
per regiment. 1t must be considered,
also. that the office had TO be actually
made all tho blanks and apparatus
amounting to hundreds of dol
lars were unnecessary - some tour
or FIVE clerks had to be emyloye ID,
much telegrarhiog and expressing was
necessary, and in shon, there was a
great pressure OF business generally.
No man who has any correct idea OF the
manner in which the business of the Of
fee has teen conducted can make any
honest charge Of extravaganza against
Gen. Baker.

on trial for stealing quantity of hay. The
case went to the jury, eleven of whom soor,
made up their minds, but the twelfth wanted
to. return and ask some questions of the
court. The foreman and the rest of the jury
considered the questions absurd, and refused
to have them put. So the obstinate juryman
stood out against all argument or persuasion,
and resoiutely refused to agree to verdict
which fact the jury at length were obliged ID
report. The judge inquired what the ques-
tions were, and the foreman rather reluctant
ly handed up a paper on which the anxi, us
inquirer had them written down. They were
read out rs follows: /. Was there any hay

About the month of October, 1S4S, after

Magruder had been ordered by the General
ln-Chief OF the army 10 proceed across the
plains of Lower California to San Diego
One fine Sunday morning we proceeded per
order. We had gone but about one mile
from the city of Mexico, the thermometer Ue-
ing one hundred. and,twenty-six degrees in
the shade when. the Colonel found his cop
pers- getting dry alter hard nights drinking
in the city. Observing clumsy looking
man named RYAN with we'll filled canteen
of water, as he (Magruder) thought, he turn
ed to him and commenced the following con-
versatiun:

Yes, Colonel
Putting the car teen, 10 his mouth, he took
two or three swallows, and turning to the
soldier, said:

it,
1t must be remembered that this water"
which the Colonel praised 50 highly was no
thing more than Mexican muscatel, common
ly called aguadiente. We had proceeded but a
short distance further when our gallant Col
onel called to Ryan for another swig, which
he got, when the following colloquy occur
red
What is your name, sir? ?"
"Private Ryan"

A short distance further, and another swig
was called for and received, the Colonel's
coppers wanting cooling again, saying as he
did so:
" Now, sir, you are Sergeant Ryan, by,

If the canteen had held out, and the Colo

would have obtained high rank before the

The editorial tone and National departments OF
the New York Mercury will continue true to that
lofty spirit ofpatriotism which has made it a neces-
sity of the people since the War began. and kept it
in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were dy-
ing all around it for want Unpopular support.
Already the largest literary journal in the world,
and famous the focus of thousand brilliant lit
crary regulations, its programme for 1862 will be
magn iicent beyond all precedent. The most cele-
brated pens of this country and Europe have been
secured in its service at outlay equal to the ex-
pense of more than one national government in the
Old World and its novelettes, continued stories,
