GFThe following very remarkable article
appears IN the official organ Of the Admin
istratioD, edited by John w. Foruey. He
says:
Any man who faDcies that we are coiug
to get to Richmond without further and
most determined fighting, is mistaken.-
The men we Sight are Americans. Thew
are free born citizens, and OF the proudess
of the proud. The rebel army Of Virginia
is composed OF the elite of the Southern
people. 1t reckons in its ranks men of ed
ucation and and position, full of the pride
of family, ADD accustomed to exalt courage
into God like virtue. They are burning
with passionate autipa,hy to a people
whom they have thoroughly misunderstood
formerly despised. but are now learning TO
respect. They are not to be cowed, though,
when thoroughly vanquished, they will
havs the manhood to own it, But until
they are Vanquished. the will fgnt with
an energy and desperation that m ust
command the admiration of every he
roio spirit, even while dsploring their folly
and despising their cause. The body of
Lees army is made up Of veterans, who are
used to exposure, familiar with hardship,
81 ured to discipline, and are mistaken by
he thunders of battle. Such troops can be |
beaten only by a succession of desperate
itrugsles- Nor are they likely to become |
iemoralized. They will yield to an inev-
table necessity only when they recognizes !
t as inevitable. That they will be m tde /

What Becomes or Dead Horses

Some people will no doubt be as
tonishcd to learn that large fortunes
have been made every year since the
commencement OF the war, out Of the
dead horses Of the Army OF the Po-
tomac. The popular idea is that
when Rozinante yiclds.up the ghost,
lie is buried in some field, or left TO
mouldcr into mother earth in the
woods somewhere. Not so. llehas
made his last charge, and gnawed his
last fence rail, but there is from $50
to $40 in the old fellow yet. A con
tract for the purchase of dead horses
in the Amy of the Potomac for the
ensuing year, was let few days
since, to the highest bidder, at Sl,76
per head, delivered at the factory of
the contractor Last year 100000
was cleared on the contract, and this
year it is thought 100000 can be
made on it. The animals die ut the
rate of about 80 per day, at the low
est calculation. At the contractors
establishment they are thoroughly
disscctcd First, the shoes are pull
cd off. They are usually worth fifty
cents a set. Then comes the caudel
appendagr, worth half a dollar. Then

sells for. Then the tallow if it BE
possible 10 extract tallow from the
army horses, which think extremely

The Speaker called him to order, reminding
him that personalities must not be INDUCED.
Mr.. Blair begged pardon. His colleague had
gone to the trouble Of having the forged orders
photographed. He Mr.. Blair intended to fol-
low out the hint, and TO have the same order
ornamented with the portrait OF his colleague,
mt. McClurg,) after the manner OF the rogue's
gallery. The dogs and hounds had been set on
him by their master. He had driven them
back into their kennels, and he intended to
hold thir masters responsible.
Mr.. Blair read from letters to show the de-
structive effects Of Secretary Chase's trade
regulations, and that large quantities of con-
traband goods pass through our lines to the
enemy. The letters also say that Secretary
Chase is using his power for electioneering
purposes, and, Mr.. Blair added, to oppose
President Lincoln, who gave Secretary Chase
his place.
Mr.. McClusg rose, saying that If it be the
pleasure OF the House, he would postpone his
remarks until after the Tax Bill shall be dis
posed of. He believed the members (Mr.
Blair.s) character, il he had any, would not
suffer by delay. and he was sure his own would
not. He gave way TO
Mr.. Morrill,, who moved that the House re-
solve itself into committee on the Tax Bill.
