snd conniTing st fraud; and whereas, ii
Is stated there have been collisions for
military supplies in the military and
naval departments; and whereas, recent
disclosures show that in the Custom
House Ct New York, and other branches
Of the Treasury Department. the Eev-
eRue law has been defrauded and tres-
sonable aid given to disunipnists; and
whereas, it is apparent that general de-
mOraliEation and incspacity pervsde
the executive branch Of the govern
ment to an extent which calls for the
interposition and preventative legisls-
ton Of Congress, therefore,

tions, with power to send for persons and

listed in the South some man from the

Sr. JOINS, n. B, January IL.
In the Chesapeake case to-day Charles
Waters testified he attended meeting in
st. John, at which Captains Parker, Rob
insOn, Seeley, McKenney and others, were
present. Captain Parker said he wanted
a crew to go to New York to capture q
vessel. He stated that he had 8 commits
sion from the Confederate Government
and the witness understood the crew was
to be engaged for the Confederate service.
This closes the evidence for the proseeu-
tion. The Court then adjourned until

Some people will no doubt be astonished
TO learn that large fortunes have been
made every year since the commencement
Of the war, cut Of the dead horses Of the
Army Of the Potomac. The popular idea
is that when Rozinante yields up the
ghost he is buried in some field. or left
20 moulder into mother earth in the woodg,
somewhere. Not so. He has made his
last charge, and gnawed his last fence
rail, but there is from $40 to $40 in the
old fellow yet. A contract for the pur-
chase Of the dead horses in the Army Of
the Potomac, for the ensuing year, was let
few days since, to the highest bidder, at
81 76 per head, delivered at the factory Of
the contractor. Last year $4,000 was
cleared on the contract, and this year it Is
thought 100000 can be made on it. The
animals die at the rate of shout fifty per
day, at the lowest calculation. At the
contractors establishment they are thor
oughly dissecied. First, the shoes are
pulled of They are usually worth fifty
cents 3 set. Then the hoOfs are cut of
They bring about two dollars q set. Then
comes the esudal sppendage, worth half a
dollar. Then the hide-I don't know
what that sells for. Then the talloW, if it
be possible to extract tsIlow from the army
horses, which l think extremely doubtful,
unless he die Immediately after entering
the service. And last but not least, the
shin bones are valuable, being convertible
into variety Of articles that mpny be-
lieve to be composed Of pure livery, such
ss csnehesds, kuife-handles, SC. By the
tine the contractor gets through with the
late lsmented" sieed, there is hardly
enough Of him left to feed bull pup on.
Hereafter, kind reader, when you see q
dead "hoss" don't turn up your nose st
him, but regard him thoughtfully, as the
foundation for large fortune in a single
year. He may, individually, be nuisance,
but there is that within which passe.h
