The World deliberately misststes the gist Of
power in ordering the great purchase Of blankets
might have been regarded leniently, but for the
fact that those blankets were at once ruinously
bad and abonipably dear. Nor was 1t at all
necessary and proper that the Judge Advocate
should have attempted, as The World would
have him, to trace q portion of "the spoils"
into the pockets Of DR.. Hammond. Such tracing
is, in the nature of things, exceedingly difficult,
and to what end' The acts proved are intrin-
sically bad: they constitute the most fragrant
malfeasance, and furnish abundant justification
for all the punishment to which DR.. Hammond
has yet been subjected.
But there are notorious corruptions in othos
public offices, which go UNPUBLISHED and over

reason for sustaining the judgment against DR..
Hammond, and calling loudly for moro like IL.
Better encourage those in authority to go ahead

thousand women whom we know of, who
have been made widows by this war; how

wrecked and separated-whas remorse
and sorrow, aud heart tracking torture
have been suffered, can only be known
to him who rules over all; and upon whom
rcsts tho responsibility for al! this great
misery? Does it not rest upon those am.

for the sake Of "power. plunder and ex-

and changed her songs Of rejoicing to the

Of that graceless band, it were surely

able evidences Of the sad effects Of war,
judging from the following statement,
the accuracy of which is vouchcd for BY
the InteN,gencer Of that city: "We saw
yesterday, going up toward the upper
ferry, a team Of four animals-a horse, a
pony, mule and bull. The horse had
the heaves, the pony was blind, the mule
was lame, and the bull had no provision
for fly time. In the wagon, which was

was irmy bound with wisp Of straw.
The whi.c man held the lines, the team
held its owp, and the nigger held the
skunk" and we suppose che observer,
while the team was passing, held his nose.
