Brew. Brig. Gen. C. A Grosvenor, provost
marshal general of Augusta, Georgia, has
placed himself on the record as oEe of the
most extraordinary men the war has devel-
oped. A brace of gentlemen-Messr Thos.
s. Metcalf and Leopold Cohn-having good
thing in prospect, offered General Grosvenor
the snug little sum of $500, 600 to decide a
cotton question in their favor. Strange to
say, the general couldn't see it, and the spec
ulators were arrested for an attempt TO bride
an officer. Cohn admitted the truth Of the
charge, and General Sseedman, to whom the
case WAS referred, decided as follows:
That said Leopold Cohn shall leave the
department of Georgia within twenty-four
no irs. to-wit: On or before IL O'Clock N. of
the 18th day of August, 1865. and take MP
his residence at point not nearer Augusta
than Charleston, South Carolina, and not 10

gia, under penalty of arrest and punishment
for disobedience Of orders.
That the money deposited by Metcalf and
Cohn, the property of said Metcalf, with said
Brevet Brig Gen. Grosvenor in part pay
ment of said offer of two hundred thousand
dollars, to-wit: The sum of eleven thousand
dollars to be distributed ON the order of the
major general commanding, for the relief of
