AID-DE-CAMP.
1t. Alkafraserfat is busily engaged in
aiding the Gen'l in the purchase of
good skins" of which to make "robe"
to send to Mr.. A. Lincoln as a slight to-
ken Of the Generals gratitude for past
favors. The General esteems the Pres
ident much | assure you, and the Presi-
dent esteems the General.
A. A. GEN'L,
Is managing things parlaining to his
office like o'clock work." although, in the
start he aid not exactly understand the
ceremony of npOuniing the guard. He
supposed mounting" meant chastising
and pitched into' one of the guard and
came out scarcely able to stand upon his
'pins."
! A. QUATERMAsTER.
Capt. ShomPogancy has just received
the sum of Sl6.33 for disbursement in
emergent demands on his Department.

deemed amply sufficient for the Sum-

! A. c. OF SUBSISTENCE.
1t. Seruptepucks is strongly fortified
behind a lot OF "sweet smelling ancient
Edward" which owing to its lively quail
ity seems to change its position every
twenty-four hours If something is not
done speedily to check its erratic habits
4 sentinel will have to be stationed over
it, or . Uncle EdaUard" will have us. Sc
ruptepuck thinks portion.of his commits
sary supplies can be " naOUed" without
much difficulty, or cost, and the "line of
march" taken up at any time.
LovEGooD TO GRANT.
General: Yours received, In reply |
can inform you this country affords an
abundance of Beaver. By strategetic
movements the old ones, as well as the
kittens, can be captured, l think myself
they would be of service. to you in your
'canalling" operations at Vicksburg-
Skins plenty, but no cotton.
LovEGoOD.
No doubt Gen'l Grant will request a
supply of these animals, as their known
ingenuity in turning lOater is, unsurpass-
ed, but the object in writing ".No cotton -
cannot be "seen into, unless swapping is
about to be adopted in military circles
You know by Convention of interested
parties skins have been declared "con-
traband," and Gen'l L. continues to this
authoritative act applying to his district
in the same way, as other Generals dc
their authority over cotton, the conse-
quence of which is, the enemy is decreas'
; ing in skins, and Gen'l Increasing, and
if this military necessity continues the
conclusion is evident, that the enemy wil
have less skins and the Gen'l more. The
Government is being benefited much, and
the War about at an end, by these strate'
getic cotton and skin operasions of ouI
heroic Generals throughout the Union
Now Mr.. Editor: 1 want it distictly
understood that l wrote this letter, and
that no one has used my signature, which
is As evermore,
