Since hay has advanced to such high prices our
farmers have turned their attention to raising
larger quantities of IT, Ii requires less labor than
any other crop, does not wear out the ground
fast, and at present prices is one of the most
profitable crops farmer raise. We have

Mr. Editor Those who are 70 miliar with the
history aud conduct ofon Capt. Will G. Moreau,
of Co. /, ID Indiana Cavalry, since the begin
ming of the war. will, il good men, be more
than rei0iced to learn that he has been dishoRor-
ably dismissed the service of the United States,
to date Jan. lst, 1864 The charges against the
French gentleman are of the most disgraceful
character. Among them are the following, viz:
Representing himself agent of the Govern
ment TO collect taxes, and TO burn property in
case OF non-payment-and he actually collected
$40 in gold from an old preachers wife, good
Union lady; pressing horses from one party and
selling to another; stealing jewelry; and other
charges too numerous to mention.
Mr. Editor. write you this for publicstion, in
order that he may get his justdeserts-otberwise
he would not.
Will c. Moreau has held a commission as
Captain of Company for nearly year, and
10 that time he has not done more than two
weeks duty-remsning long enough 10 destroy
the discipline of the company. IL is needless to
say that all the charges would have been proven
had be not kept skulking away and fegning
