tne remaining horse militia. A iudicious selec-
ton OF about ope-fourth from among the pre-
sent vast herd of confederate cavalry would
secure all that are worth their costly support
and the rest could be reduced to foot not onIy
without INJURY, but with positive benefit to the
service, even to the cavalry service iteelf One
horse could be kept fat and capable of any
required service on what is now divided among
four lean, feeble and inefficient beasts. never
fit for service in any emergency. Every farmer
knows that it is better to keep one good team
than half dozen Indifferent ones and the fact
is stronger with the cavalry service; for there
we see four idle consumers waiting for their
skeleton brutes to get fat.
Same judiciOus system of reduction has be-
come indispensable; and unless the measure is
carried into effect before the next forage and
grain crops are harvested by next February
we shall have absolutely no cavalry at all. Half
of the horses now on the meadows are so en-
feebled that they must of necessity die lin
gering death in the first part of the summer,
if subjected to any service; and thus they will
not only have consumed the hay in the form
of grass, but the country will have lost half
the horses employed in the senseless policy.
The excess of cavalry which the govern
ment permits to be maintained seriously affects
his morals OF the soldiers. They become des-
perate after forage for their animals in conse-
quence of the scarcity, and take, ruthlessly,
whatever they can lay their hands on. The
horseman is moreover, required to furnish his
own steed and when horse is disabled, from
starvation or other cause, the rider supplies
himself as best he can the system of press
ing" forage very often suggesting the expe-
dient of pressing horse, when the govern
ment can no longer save him the trouble, by
s:izing the last beast at the drays of Richmond.
I such straits have things come that a dis
tricl of country suffers less from the march
t trough it of q brigade of Yankee infantry
than battalion of Confederate cavalry.

James Bell, the brother of DR.. Bell, of Greene

cursing her, and telling her to smell them
They then burned the house down, and its con-
tents with it, allowing her and her children to
look on at the flames. The Notorious Wesley

The French Tobacco.
rom the Richmond ENQUIRER, 10Th.

From the Richmond Enquirer, 10th.
The French tobacco stored in this city. and
which will soon be shipped to Europe, consists
OF between seven and eight thousand hOgsheads,
all OF which is of fine quality and worth several
millions of dollars. TO transport it away at
once, will require seven or eight ships, and it is
said that the requisite number will be at City
Point in day or two. The quiet manner in
which the Yankee Government backed down
from its refusal to permit this tobacco to pass
the blockade, shows the stamina of Yankee
pluck before the expressed demands Of France,
and testifes with equal force to the cave-in-
policy OF that same nation upon any emergency
wherever the opposing power has pluck enough
Itself to pursue its demands with even decent
persistency.
1t has been the custom of the French Gov
ernment to purchase two years. supply of to-
bacco at time and keep always two years
supply ahead. The last supply was evidently
giving out and as tobacco is one of the neces.
saries Of FrenchD ans existence. it would
hardly have been wise or even judiciousIy
brave for the Yankee government to have
stuck to its determination of prohibi ing its
expectation from Richmond The confederate
government gains by the operation the export
duties and maintains its prestige for fair
dealing.

about getting down rather suspiciously.
Seventy rounds were fought In all, each one

ing no chance, threw up the sponge in token
OF Marley's defeat They fought seventy rounds
in one hour and thirty-five minutes.
Harris came out without a mark, only hav-
ing little blood on his lip, and showing no
indication OF having been engaged in such q
contest.
Marley had evidently been over-estimated,
as it will be seen he had no chance from the
fifth round. all his efforts being in vain, as his
blows made no Impression on Harris, and he
received all the punishment. There is no
doubt he is brave fellow, and his fight with
Gum shows he can fight with a man of his cal
ibre but against such master as Harris it
was of no avail.
The crowd quietly dispersed, and taking it
all in all everything went off smooth and
peaceably. When the sponge was thrown up
for Marley, both eyes were nearly closed, and
his face presented a shOckingly bruised appear
ance, and he was also exceedingly weak.

L, I
May3 1864.
General Order No. 1871
At the Navy General Court Martial recently
convened in the city of Wash ngton, CommO.
dOre Charles Wilkes, of the navy, was tried
upon the following charges preferred against
him by the Department.
CHARGE 1. Disobedience of the lawful orders of
his superior officer while in the execution of IS
office.
Cn ,RGE2. Insubordinate conduct and nc 4ligence
or carelessness in obeying orders.
CuARiE 8: Direspect and srespoctful language
to his superior office. while in the execution OF his
Office
IY,RGE 4. Refusal of ooedienca to the lawful gen.
eralorder or regulation issued by The secretary Of
the Navy.
CH,RGs s. Conduct un' ecoming an officer ard
constituting an offence made pun sh tbe by article
eight of the articles adopted and put iu force The
gov rnment Of the navy of the United ,taes
Of each of these charges the accused was
found by the court guilty" and was SEN
fenced in the following terms:
And the court does hereby sentence the accused.
COmm0 tore Charl Wilkes to be pub y repi
manded by the secretary of the Navy, and to be
susp nd Il from duti for tn term of three years.
The finding of the court in this case is ap.
proved and the sentence confirmed.
In carrying into execution that part of the
sentence which requires that Commodore
Wilkes be publicly reprimanded, l need
hardly say more to an officer of his age and
experience than that the PRONUNCIATION of such
charges and of the decision upon them by
court composed of the officers of the highest
rank in the navy constitutes in itself a repri-
mand sufficiently poignant and severe to any
one who may have desired to preserve an un-
tarnished cord in the service. The depart
ment would gladly have been spared the un-
pleasant duty which has devolved upon it in
this case; but the appeal made to the public
by the accused, in pAper which the court has
pronounced to be of an insubordnate and
disrespectful character, containing remarks
and statements not warrented by fact, rem
dered it necessary for the Department either
to tolerate the disrespect and submit to un-
founded aspersions or refer the case to the ill.,
vestigation and decision of court martial

Mrs. Lincoln has some half dozen sisters
who have never been Particularly intimate with
the branch of the family to which she belongs,
and when the rebellion broke out they took
sides with the South. One of them had some
times visited them at Springfield. aud wa con-
sidered q pleasant and agreeable girl Some
little time since she appeared at the White
House on Saturday afternoon sent in her
card, was received and spent the Sunday. AS
she was leaving on Monday she remarked that

pass to go South. How she got to Bal
timOre the President could not imagine but
he said he would give her precisely such
pass as he gave anv one About two weeks
subsequently this martha" appea ed at the
White House and sent her card Mrs Lincoln
responded that they could not receive her
She then sent in word that she desired the
promised pass. The President wrote one in
his usual way precisely such an one as is CIV
en- to any lady and sent it out TO her. and she
drove away The next day she again appear

word that she could not be admitted. She
then sent in o note that the pass she had re.
ceivCd was no, such one as she wanted-she
wanted to take some goods South. MIR. Lin
coin turned over her note and wrote upon the
back That the pass was precisely such as he
gave to Others, and she could have nothing

reception room with Otherses waiting to
see the President, but fuding it out Mr..
Lincoln told his messenger not 10 admit
her The next day she appeared again the
same directions were given. and she did not
get an audience. The mex day she came wi h

A Stock TRANSACTION by Commodore

Correspondence of the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
New YORK, April 20.
During the past week there has been panic
in the stock market which has changed prices
largely, and broke some large stock brokers
among Others, Morse g. Co who were counted
as millionaires. The most startling of oil
things was that while other stocks were sink
ing, Harlem was rising. That road has never
earned a dividend, and yet its stock sold for
POS. What was the key? The great Cornelius
Vanderbilt, as all stock brokers were tum-
bling, bought largely of Harlem at high fig
ures. But the brokers had not the stock to de-
liver. They must look it up. It could not
be found. Vanderbilt holds 81, 100000 of the
$40 OO0, 900 of its obligations. The stock was
not in New York except in Vanderbilts hands
-as consequence while the stock was really
worthless-it was steadily rising. The brok-,
ers, in order to fulfil their contracts with Van-
derbilt. had to buy his stock at 205 to 220-fOr
which he paid them 14O This is called q cor
