| Fromthe following extract from speech
delivered in the Rebel Senate a few days
Since, by Mr. FooTE, on the occasion Of sub
mitting a resolution of inquiry into frauds
in the Army, 1t win be seen that all the
stealing is not done under the Sadministra-
ton of ''honest Old ABE" but on the con-
trary the fast men in Dixie are at in full
earnest, and probably beat our own scoun-
drels in the game of stealing:
Mr.. Foote said he knew the most enor-
nous frauds to exist in these departments.
He could go himself before any committee
and satisfy them of it. Other gentlemen
knew them to exist. 1t was all over the
country. The member from Georgia had
revealed to him a number of facts of the
corruption of the Quartermaster at Attain
ia, Georgia. In some conversation which
had passed, that official said, rather boast
fully, in reply to a remark-"For why
should be expected to stoop to so small a
thing?-I have more money now than /
want" And so it was. This man is esti-
mated to be worth five millions of dollars,
though before the war he could not count
more than twenty thousand to save his life.
he knew him very well. .4ott
And this is, continued Mr.. Foote, but one
of the hundred cases all over the country
Pass your eye arouud, and you will see
these Quartermasters ana Comm1ssaries liv-
ing in palatial wealth, with theirfine houses,
driving their fine horses (and some of them
with body servants), dressing in the finest
style, and many of them possessing the
most magnificent landed estates. They are
surfeited with money. They carry thous-
ands upon thousands upon their persons.
They are the largest betters at faro. He
could prove this by a particular member
from Kentucky (for he had authorized
him to tell it), who, on going into gam
bling-saloon not long since, found around
the table Quartermasters betting with the
utmost speration--staking their thousands
upon single cardi Whence comes this
money-this sudden wealth? These same
men, who now reckon their wealth by the
hundred thousand-and some of them by
the million-were, before the war, poor men,
living in their humble cottages and SUR
rounded by scarcely scant support. And
yet the evil goes on. Nothing is done to
check it. The only removal that he had
heard of was that man Wood, Quartermas-
ter at Baeon's Quarter Branch, whose credit
and name before the war; as every one in
Richmond knows, was not good for five
dollars, but who now retires, after holding
an Office of one hundred and forty dollars
a month, with an immense fortune. So it
goes, and If no other member in the House
should join with him, he was determined to
stand alone in demanding the correction OF
these abuses.

The regular annual meeting of the Ohio
STATE Board of Agriculture, with delegates
from. the County Agricultural Societies
will be held in this city, on Wednesday
January g.. AT this meeting there will bt
-. an election for five members of the State
Board, in place of N s. TowNsHEND, of Lo-
nOrain; Il. CLONES, of Delaware; II. B. PER.
KINs, of Trumbull; Nj. TURNEv, of Pick
away, and J. EGBERT, of Warren. The fol-
q lowing members hold over until 1866
I'd. L. GARDNER, of Lucas; ID. TAYLOR, Of
y Franklin; d. MCMILLAN, of Greene; w. DE
WITT, of Cuyahoga, and w. r. PUTNAM, Of
= Washington. ~ soon
The State Board of Agriculture proper
consists of ten members, holding their Offices
J for two years, one-half of whose terms of
office expire each year, thus bringing in five
new or reelected members annually, and
ID leaving five old members in office. The
6 usual practice has been to retain the mem
bers Of the State Board for two terms, some
+, times by reason of personal competition for
the Office, or by desire of the outgoing
members, the time of holding memberships
has been reduced to single term Of two
> years; and in other cases, OH account of pc
culiar fitness or desirable location of the
member the time has been extended to
three terms.
1t is stated as probable that the next State
Fair will be held in this city. The subscrip-
ton of five thousand dollars required by the
a., Board will no doubt be made, and the loca-
tion, as the Cleveland Herald remarks, is all
that can be desired for the accommodation
: of exhibitors and visitors, and asuccessful
State Fair.
The Ohio Wool Growers Convention will
be held in this city on Tuesday, January 8,
the day before the meeting of the Agricul-
tural Convention. A large attendance is.
anticipated. Hon. HENRY S. RANDALL, of
New York State, will deliver an address.
The Sorgho State Convention will also
meet in this city on the same day, January
5. This, too, is a meeting that will draw
hither many visitors, as it has in charge an
Important agricultural interest, relating to
the culture of the Northern Cane and Beet
Sugar. t 2 gkff
These three Conventions, meeting about
the same time that tournew Legislature con-
venes. will make the first week of January
in our city one of rare attractions to visit
ors, especially to intelligent and enterpris-
ing farmers, many of whom from all parts
of the State win no doubt be assembled

Enquirer of Sunday morning: -


\ ANOTHER AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM THT
= Clay SEAMILY.-When the great statesman
Henry Clay was living, he purchased farm
In Kentucky for his son Thomas, andstocked
and prepared it thoroughly for his use
After few years residence on the farm,
Thomas wrote to his father for more money
that his farm needed important improve
ments and he had not the wherewith to pro-
cure what he needed. Mr.. Clay replied to
the effect that as he (Thomas) had sQuan-
dered the means he had given him In pre-
. pairing the farm for his use, he'should now
goto h-rl. Thomas replied in brief letter
to his father, as follows. This letter is now
with friend in this city, and may be dona-
ted to the Sanitary Fair:
'MY DEAR FATHER:--1our kind letter OF
- inst. is before me. i have perused and
digested its contents, and am obligated to
return you my warmest gratitude for the
kindly admonition it contains. The desti-
nation you direct me to go will be strange
. to me, and have deemed it the part of a
dutiful son to request of you letter of in
PRODUCTION.
Hoping soon to hear from you, remain
your most obedient and dutifil son,

A Case in Point.
ADemocratic journal puts the following

ADemocratic journal puts the following
case:
Suppose that when the Quaker PAssMoRF
Wilkinson was lying in a Philadelphia
prison, and BoOTH the Wisconsin editor
was i'm Jail, President BUCHANAN had, in
bthe exercise of the pardoning power, issued
p general proclamation of amnesty to all
who had resisted the Fugitive Slave law,
but as the condition of pardon, had imposed
the following oath, which is, in substance
and effect, precisely the oath proposed by
President LINCOLN. UAsa@Fs
49,, do solemnly swear, in presence of
Almighty God, that will hencefOrth faith
fully support, protect and defend the Con-
stitution of the United States and the Union
of the States Hereunder, and that will, in
like manner, abide by and faithfully support
all acts Of Congress passed with reference
: to fugitive slaves, so long and so far as not
repealed, modified, or held void by Congress
Tor by decision of the Supreme Court, and
tfat1 viii in like manner abide by and faith
fully support the Fugitive Slave act of 1850
and all other acts of Congress hereafter
passed, having reference to fugitive slaves,
SO long and so far as not modified or declar-
ed void by decision of the Supreme Court
So help me God! ~ s@ ~
YItis not difficult toimagine how the Abo-
= litionists would have felt and acted, b ad
Mr.. BUCHANAN, under the color of the par
doning power, offered the violatofs, nullifi-
ers and rebels against a law of the United
States this degrading insult. 1t would have
been spnrhed and spitupon ylevery one of
them. Would there have been man in
their ranks who would have admitted that
the President had any right to swear a citi-
lsehIto renounce his right to discuss, oppose
and attempt to procure the repeal or the
setting aside by the Courts, of laws which
he disapproved and deemed unconstitution-
alp Nay more, would not the rights and
sovereignty of the State have been invoked
to interfere and protect its citizens from
n such an unjust and tyIannical usurpatiOn Of
