sh.n W. Rurn ,h, Manure !

The following communication furnishes a
reasonable explanation why the manure accu,
mulated at the corrals In and about Washington
must be burned:
To he Editor oChs Republican;
SIR An article in your paper last evening,
with the above title, seems to require an ex-
planatory reply; for II must be admitted that to
dispose Of manure by burning Is neither " eco
ROmicdl," nor, under ordinary circumstances,
" SenNibie.n The recommendation Of the
"Military Sanitary Committee was not, as
stated in that article, "that all the manure in
the city be collected and burned" but was in
these words Large quantities of stable ma
nure have accumulated about the Government
corrals. We recommend that quartermasters
In charge be directed to have tho manure piled
and burned once a week"
In making that recommendation, the COM
mittee were governed by the following consid-
eratlonB; /. The manure had accumulated in
immense quantities. 2. The Quartermaster's
Department could not spare It's men, teams and
wagons to transport 1t to farms beyond the city
limits. 8. The farmers were either unwilling
or unable to remove II themselves; that this is
true, is shown by the present condition Of pri-
vate stables throughout the city, and by the
fact that the owners Of such stables have TO pay
we'll for the removal Of the manure. 4. The
accumulation NJ manure in the city is a nui-
sance, and Is deleterious to the public health;
IL stops surface drainage, Is mixed with human
aNcrCta, and often serves to conceal dead AMI
mails. If Il had been considered practicable to
secure the prompt removal of manure from the
Government stables to farms beyond the city
limits, the committee would have so recon.
mended. r. II. {.

PORTER'S YAZOO EXPEDITION A CON-
PLETE SUCCESS,
The Navy Yard and all the Military
Stores at YaZOO City Destroyed.
DISPATCH FROM GEN. GRANT.
He was Still Investing Vioks-
burg on the 22d.
HEIS CONFIDENT OF FINAL SUCCESS,
Rebels on the RappahannOCk AC-
knowledge that Vicksburg
Had Fallen.
DISPATCH FROM GEN. GRANT.
He was Still Investing Vioks
burg on the 22d.
HE'S CONFIDENT OF FINAL SUCCESS

The Government received a despatch from
Gen. Dix, this morning, announcing that the
Richmond papers OF the 25th had been received
by him, and they contained dispatches from the
West, acknowledging that the expedition sent
by Admiral Porter up the YaEoo river to the
Yazoo City to destroy the navy yard and mill
tary stores at that place was a complete success
1t was sudden, unexpected, and severe blow
upon the rebels at that point, and It is thought
will compel Johnston's army to fall back for
supplies.
A dispatch, dated the 22d inst, was received
by the Government this morning from General
Grant himself He more than confirms all that
has been previously announced in dispatches
from Rawlings and Admiral Porter. At the
time Of writing he had the city closely invested
and Expresses the greatest confidence in his
ability to reduce it II the garrison does not sur
render.
The gunboats are doing splendid execution
and everything is going on as well as the most
earnest friend OF the Union can hope.
We learn from General Hooker, who is in
town to-day, that the rebel plckets on the south
side Of the Rappahannock Informed our pickets
yesterday that they had news that vicksburg
had been wholly taken by Grant.
OF course our Government has nothing later
on the subject than the dispatch from General
Grant, the substance Of which we give above.
1t is not unlikely that the statement Of the rebel
pickles is true, as 1t not only conforms to the
opinion of our military and naval officers that
it must fall into our hands, but the tone of the
editorials in the Richmond papers, published
elsewhere, are evidently written to prepare the
minds OF the Southern people for great dis
aster to them In the West.

An Exciting Scene In the Merchants EI-
change-COl. I. II. Gibbs, OF Tennessee.


This forenoon, when Mr.. Mcintosh was in,
Hcribing the good news from Gen, Grant on tho
bulletin board OF the Merchants Exchange, a
gentleman remarked enthusiastically that he
| felt Rdro, In advance, Grant would whip the
rebels. 80 did Hooker" chimed In a by
stsnder. THAT" rejoined the first speaker,
"Is from a Copperhead-I know a Coppcrhead
when he opens his mouth, and can smell him
when there Is good news for the Union.' This
brought on considerable alterations the few
" conservative" gentlemen who make the EX-
change their headquarters, hearing Copper
headism called in question, came TO the rescue,
but were soon outnumbered twenty to one by
the Cnionists.
High words were exchanged, when the
stranger presented his card, which informed
them that he was 7. II. Gibbs, from Tennessee,
who had been driven from his home by the
rebels for his Unionlsm. He gave the Copper
hOads, here and elsewhere, TO understand that
no knew them and desplsed them, even more
than he loathed the rebels. In a minute he
was almost embraced by large body Of our
most respected business men, who were all
eager TO shake hands with him. He was a
hero In a second. One enthusiastic Union
man said, as lie shook him with both hands,
that ho did not consider himself good enough
TO salute so earnest and truthful champion OF
Union sentiments as Col. T. II. Gibbs. The
alleged Copperhead vanished, like a ghost be-
fore daylight, and the storm became calm

puRNENnRa.

We publish elsewhere an order from General
Hooker abOlishing the office of purvcyors to the
Army Of the Potomac. It was found that the
registered purveyors, who were allowed to pur-
chase stores for officers, were carrying on larg'
trade with the army in goods which were trans
ported at the Governments expense, and that
they were enjoying privileges and monopolies
detrimental to the public good and the welfare
of the army.
It was nscertaned that favorltsm was shown
to certain houses, and that officers found ii
very easy to get permits fer goods If they
ordered from the parties in favor, while II was
impossible to get an order upon other dealers
approved.
The system was manifcstly unjust to the reg
ular army Putlers who are obliged to transport
their goods at their own cost. The order Of
Gen Hooker will give satisfaction to all parties
except the purveyors.
