SENDING HOME SOLDIERS REMAINS.
We are permitted to make the following
extract from letter Of Frank f. Holbrook,
Commissioner for Vermont in Washington,
TO the Adjutant General
- In regard TO sending the remains of sol
diers home, when desired by the friends II
is necessary for them to arrange with the ex-
press agent at their place or the nearest point,
and have the agent guarantee the express
charges TO the companies here, either Adams
or HMnden's, and advise by telegraph, as
they will in no case forward the remains Of a
soldier without said guarantee, unless the ex-
press charges are prepaid"
He further says that bodies are embalm-
ed at the Campbell and Armory hospitals free
Of expense, but II done elsewhere it costs
from Sl8 upwards according to the ability Of
the parties to pay, while it is not so we'll done
a. at the hospitals. The undertaken charges
for an outside case and for delivering to ex-
press company 90. and s3 for disiuterring
one body. BY way Of advice he adds
Whenever friends desire to have the re-
mains Of soldier sent home, il is best for
them to advise the surgeon in charge Of hos
pital as soon as possible, by telegram, and
have the body embalmed at the hospital, If
possible. - Standard

letter from the Army of the Potomac has
the following good thing
" A few days ago two soldiers were sem
fenced, for some trivial offense, to ten days in
the guardhouse, but they were taken out oc-
oasionally to do police duty about camp
Doing police duty, you must know, is not in
the army what it is in tue city, but consists
in going about under guard and cleaning up
the camp. These soldiers were put to clean
ing away the mud from the front o. the Col
oners quarters. They were from New York
city regiment, and, to judge from their dis-
lect, might have been named Nose snd Syksey.
At any rate shall call them so in the recital.
They had worked WE'LL and finally seated
themselves on log to await the arrival of the
sergeant of the guard to relieve them, when
the following conversation took place:
Mose-Saay, Sykesy, what you goin' to do
when yer three years is ups Coin to be
vet; Saay,
Sykesy-Not if | know myself amt, no
I'm goin to be citizen, am. I'm goin'
back to New York and am goin' to lay off and
take comfort, bum around the engine house
and run wild der machine.
Mose--Well, l tell yer what I'm goin' to
do. I've jest been thinkiu the matter all
over, and got the whole thing fixed. In the
FIRST place, | I'm goin' home to New York, and
as soon as get my discharge I'm goin' to
take good bath and get this Virginia sacred
soil off me. Then I'm goin' to have my head
shampood, my hair cut and eombed forward
and lied, and then I'm goin' to some uptown
clothing store and buy me a suit of togs. I'm
goin' to get gallus suit, too = black
breeches, red shirt, black silk choker, stove
pipe hat, with black bombazine around it, and
a pair Of them shiny leather butes. Then I'm
goin up to DeImonico's place and am goin'
for to order jest the best dinner he can get
up. I'm goin' to have all he has on his din
ner ticket you bet What? No! guess
| won't have gay old dinner, much for I'll
be citizen then, and won't have to break my
teeth off gnawing hard tack. After I've had
my dinner will call for a bottle of wine and
a segar and all the New York papers, and
then I'll jest set down, perch my fe upon
the table, drink my wine, smoke my stgar,
read the news, and wonder why the Army of
the Potomac don't move"

The CATTLE MARKEr.-The Farmer thus
sermonises on the cattle markets of March
% and %:
The effects Of the market two weeks ago
are sill visible. That was the most rushing.
headlong market we have ever seen. Prices
went beyond all precedent. in fact, just about
as high as the drovers had cheek to demand.
Old Brighton for once forgot ire dignity and
usual evenuess OF temper; aud manifested
something Of the exctable character Of tho
New York cattle market. In the same spirit
the drovers went home and bought largely
and carelessly. But in " breaking-up" their
cattle the butchers learned different lesson,
a dear bought lesson of caution. The advance
in prices which they had to charge their Gus
toners was so great that both parties were as
tonished. Two Ypnkee shllings per ID. for
roast beef, with or without the two dollars a
day, Of course checked the consumption, while
it has increased the supply OF beef rather be-
yond the demand. and we again see good
times for the wednesday sundown buyers,
aud some Of the best salesmen waiting to ac-
commodate them. Perhaps the experience Of
this week and last will make the drovers so
cautious in buying that the supply next week
will be short, but the great quantity and mod
crate prices Of mutton, will make fewer beef
cattle needed, so that we do not look f1r any
immediate improvement in the beef market.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent OF the
New York Commercial writes that the report
that Gen. Butler is sending up to City Point
one third more rebels than we receive Union
prisoners, is base fabrication. The agree
mcnt on this subject is an equal exchange
mar for man. Thus far we have received as
many men as we have sent up, aud unless
Gen. Buffers arrangements are inserfered
with the exchange will hereafter be conduct
ed on an honorable and equitable footing.

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON.

In the Senate Marcn 23 several bills were
debated, and in the House there was dis
graceful scene between Missouri factionists,
Blair and MeClmg.

was a sensible way Of putting the thing.
