u It is not q comfortable thing to read
Of knaves and knavery; and especially
when committed upon the Government,
while engaged in such a work as VIC have
on hand. Yet there is consolation which
goodmen may have eatthepresent time when
we read Of frauds, here and there, among
Quarte1masters and contractors; and it is,
that somebody is after them with sharp
stick: and they stand chance when once
discovered to get little idea as TO what
justice means. 80
We need not expect the Inaves and viii
1ains all to. get disgusted with life and die,
nor that they. will all. emigrate together.
A country as large as ours will continue
to have its share; and il, at any time, the
stock rms low, all Europe is ready to dis
emboCae an abundance Of recruits upon
MS. But We pray. for National and Coy
erumental virtue enough to put tie rascals
through when they show themselves, and
that is about the best We can expect.
The alarming feature Of; the times before
the incoming Of the present Administra-
ton Was, not that we had scoundrelism
among us, nor even that it did climb into
high places, but 1t was that it went wholly
unwhipped Of justice. It seemed, indeed,
to be the rule Of the times. Thie7ine, and
lying, and cheating, in public life, were no
sin. The more astounding the theft, the
higher the thief held his head, a
1t is gratifying to see that it is no longer
exactly SO. Men that steal have to keep
hlady and cover their tricks; and every
now and then one Of them gets unearthed.
AS long as this is so we need not fear.

MONDAY EVENING, Dec. q, 1863.
H0Gs-The receipts Of Hogs since Saturday, &C
cording TO the returns published on Change,
amount to 6,445, besides which two or three OF the
tratns that had been delayed by ice and snow, Ar
rived during the day. One Of these we saw par
TALLY unloaded at the Southern Yards. Most OF
the Hogs it contained must have been on the road
for a considerable period, the dead ones being
wholly pntnd, and thota that were still urtng
were In terrible state Of h1th, and emitted such
: an odor that we were glad to run away With all
speed after somo fresh air. The greatest care on
the part ofthc railway officers would probably be In
sufficient to prevent the recurrence occasionally Of
this state Of things, especially at such seasons Of
the Jear as the present, when our railways are
oyerburdcned with excessive freight; bnt surely
the greatest efforts should be made toprevent them
rs far as possible. The yards -havegenesa1ly been
actfye-the entered sales since Saturday eve
ming amounting to .12,s4l Hogs, the bulk
Of which have been sold at $5.00@15.65
per one hundred pounds for prime and extra
qualities the market has been much frmer to-day
than 1t was on Saturday last, at the quotations
then given. Advices from New York this morn
ing were very favorable, indicating considerable
improvement In the Market and prices better
than they were last week.-Mrs. has stimulated our
shippers. We are pleased to hear that the OBJ
st1uctions on the Mississippi, through floating ice
and which have kept back q larse quantity Of
stock, exist no longer; the Ice being now su1acf-
entity thick for crossing. Several Of our cores
pondents have written Us within the past few
days on the subject. George B!igh, who is On his
way to Chicago with tive stock, writes from Bur
iDgton on Friday last, and intorms US that west
osBu,lington the train ran of the tract, In heavy
Snow storm, and that at Burlington they were
still detained on the western bank Of the river,
unable to cross. The picture Ia rather gloomy
one for dEovsrs TINS Kept back On their Journey,
with hay and corn at such high prices but We
hope ere this all is right again.
