In order to remedy existing evils i'm waste
and destruction of cavalry horses. Board of
Officers will be appointed by the War Depart
ment to make thorough inspection of mounted
troops of each army in the field, and report to
the Adjutant General such regiments and COM

waste Of horses, ought to be dismounted, or
broken up and transferred to other organiza-
lions from the same State. When regiment
or company is broken up, the officers will be
mustered out of service, Authority is hereby
given to commanding Generals of armies and
military departments to dsmOunt and transfer

fault or neglect, rendered unfit for service. the

Depreciation Of Gen. Grant.

From the Richmond Wing.
Gen Grant has only once-at Shiloh
encountered a master in the art of war,
and then he was terribly beaten. At Bel
mont he was soundly thrashe |, and at
Donelson and Vicksburg he was made to
pay frighttul cost for the successes he
won He has never gained battle in an
open field with less advantage than three
or four times as many men as were CD.
posed to him. H. has not proved him a
great general, but he has shown ouickness,
tenaclJy, the power to WELD brute force
with effect, and aptness in taking advan-
tage of Confederate folly. In his next
hight he must confront either Johnston or
Lee, where neither lack of vigilance, nor
lack OF ability, nor lack of men will give
him the advantages he has enjoyed on
other occasions. We are of the opinion
that after sucl encounter the lauda.ions
OF him in the Yankee newspapers will af-
ford the most laughable bits Of reading on
record.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
The new Napoleon of the North is hav-
ing very fine time inst now. Like all

as discharged from all further duty in regard

state of things, handed his wife fifteen hundred
dollars in greenbacks, took all her tickets and
