IN SALE OF ARMY MULES.

QUARTERMAsTBR GENERAL's OFFICE
WASHINGTON. d. c., May %, 1865.
MANY THOUSANDS OF MULES are being
disposed of at public sale, at Washington.
The sales will continue until the number of
animals is reduced in proportion to the reduction
OF the armies, now going on rap, ,dly.
There are in the armies of the Potomac, of
the Tennessee, and of Georgia, probably FOUR
THOUSAND OF THE FINEST SIX-MULE
TEAMS IN The WORLD.
Many Of them were bought in the beginning
Of the war, as young mules, accompanied the
armies in all their marches and camps and are
thorough broken, hardened by exercise, gentle
and familiar, from being SO long surrounded by
the soldiers
The whole South is stripped of farming stock,
and II Q North also has suffered from the drain
Of animals taken to supply the ar uies.
These animals are sold at public auction ;
THEY WILL NOT BRING ANYTHING LIKE
THEIR TRUE VALUE; and such opportunities
for farmers to get working animals to stock
their farms, and for drovers and dealers in stock
to make good speculstions by purchasing them
and disposing Of them in the South, will never
occur again. N. c. MElGS,
