our distinguished adopted citizen seems to have
set up political policy of his own, slightly diff
fering from that enforced by Gen. Milroy.
Milroy held that dCpriving the rebels Of their
negroes was the severest blow that could he
aimed at the rebellion. Gustave differed with
him, and held that taking their horses was
much surer way Of bringing the rebels to their
senses. There was no getting rid Of the ne
groes; horses you could tnrn into ready money
and put in your pocket. 1t was not long be-
fore Gustaye had the country for several miles
around his headquarters clean of good horse
flesh. 1t was in vain a man who had lost
his animal pleaded that he was a true
and firm friend Of the Union. Instances

So bold did he become in this business.
that he opened a regular trade in horses with
Baltimore and other citiCs. II Is in proof that
he must have appropriated" and sold for his
own use at least fifty or siyty horses. That he
could have successfully carried on this business
so long, does not argue for the discipline main
tanned by the military authorities in the De-
partment Of the Shenandoah. A court of in
quiry, however, ordered by General Milroy,
developed the facts We have stated. While this

resignation to the War Department. This doc

the gallant Captain an honorable discharge was
returned, and fell into the hands of General
Milroy, who withheld the document, and at
once notified the Department that the applicant
was held under charges for "Wholesale horse
stealing dcfrauding the Government out Of
money, and other crimes equally grave-and,
what was worse, that he had deserted.
1t seems that an order was issued politely in

use of respecting that sort Of military et-
