aders, and the desperate character Of the en-
terprise just suited his revengeful nature,
and he engaged in It heart and soul. This
expedition against the Ironsides was the fifth
Of which he had been the director, and upon
which he had periled his life. The former
ones had been directed against other vessels
Of the squadron, but this last had been pre-
pared with more than ordinary care, and was
altogether more successful than any Of its
predecessors. Ovrscporter had On interview
with Giassell yesterday, and also with one Of
the officers Of the Dinsmore, who was OH the |
station at the time of the attack Of the Iron
sides. G,asseii 'wss rather taciturn, and
would say but little; bot the officer accom-
panying him states that on the night in ques-
ton the torpedo was hailed as she came up,
and 'Glassclf made reply that he was live

running up as near as possible. This officer

OsE Of -the most astonishing features Of
life in Rebellion is the unconscionable price |
that is asked for everything. In Georgia,
where agriculture has received more atten-
ton than any other State, ard where corn,
potatoes and garden vegetables are in great
abundance, provisions have reached such q
figure That at Atlanta a single gentleman has
to pay, at the most ordinary boarding hoasc
3l00 per week for board. At Mobile. ard
other points, the fare is $40 per day. Nor
20 these prices eonfine themselves only to
provisions and the means Of Subsistence,
but it extends throughout oil branches of
commercial and mechanical pursuits. II
costs a woman $50 to buy 4 calico dress
and man has to pay $s5 for shirt. Gen.
tleman's boots cost from $75 to 500, and
very ordinary ladies shoes bring $40 Dur
ias watermelon season the ruling price at
some points was $l0, and occasionally a
large one would DO sold for $25 In Miss
issippi an ordinary horse will sell for $1,000
and good mule will bring 500 The peo-
pie are all depreciating Confederate money,
and yet are trying to get as much of il as
they can, like some Christian folks who are
always talking of the joys of Heaven, but
want to keep out o: it as long as possible.
b. Wnr MARES ARE NOT USED FOR ARMY HORSES.
The only sensible reason that we have
heard alleged as the reason why mares are
not used as army horses, is the one given by
Gen. Meigs-that, by rule of the War De.
partment, absolutely excluding them from
the service, they would be all kept at home,
and while answering all the purposes of tho
farm, would be used for breeding, and thus
keep up the supply. All who know any
thing about horses are aware that mares are /
more serviceable than geldings, but the rea.
son for not usiag them is good one, and
one that alone would conduce to the success
of the Union Army. for it would insure a
continued supply Of horses, which the rebels
cannot count upon. The present stock il all
they have. When that fails, all fails. They
have no reserve to fall back upon.
