Female Clerks.

There are about 200 female clerks
employed in the Treasury Department,
and selected almost from all the States
in the Union. Many ofthemhwe been
rich, but are now, poor. Many of them
are young ladies, some few are married.
Their chief business is in cutting and
counting new legal tender and Nation
al bank-notes, and in counting and de-
stroying old ones. Their pay is $40
per annum each, fer about six hours
close work, per diem. The situations
are very pleasant, and the Government
is quite right in giving out this sort of
work to women instead ofmen. The
Superintendcnts complain we believe,
only of too much talk, which, if it is
not ungallant to say, must be put down

About one year since, Ten Broeck,
the celebrated owner of racing horses,
offered, through Wakes Spirit ct hs
Times, 100000 reward to any person
who would deliver inside of the Fede;-
raj lines his four horses that were in the
Southern Confederacy. Lieut.. a. Ware
jr., A.A. g., 4th division, 18th Corps,
says the Boston Post, writes to a gem
tlehian of Boston, from Goldsboro, with
regard to these horses as follows
+ ssYou will remember that Ten Brock
offered year ago, through the Spirit
ofths Times, $50, 600, or $4,000 each
for his four horses that were within the
Confederate lines Well, we have found
and taken the horses. Their names
were sCongaree,' Kemble,' Lady
Woodland, and 'Albina.' Gen Logan
captured two, Lieut.. Col: Hiekenlopa
captured one, and Surgeon another.
I think the horses will not prove Of
much value 70 Ten Broeck."

The London Times speaks of Mr.;
Lincoln's inaugural as san address full
of kind OF CEoAswELLiAN diction,
and breathing spirit very different
from the usual unearnest ,utterances of
successful politicians" II adds, after
a reveiw of the message, that it cap
pears to be intended to repress the
more sanguine expectation OF tho
Northern people, and to intimate to-
them that fresh exertions and sacrifices
will be necessary for the attainment OF,
their object" The London Spectator
speaks of the message as a " State pa
ger which, for political weight, moral
dignity, and unaffected solemnity has
no equal in our time," ands after quo.
ting freely from the document, adds:
No statesman ever uttered words
stamped at once with the seal of so
deep wisdom and so true a simplicity.
The "village attorney" of whom Sir
G, G. Lewis and many other wise men
wrote with so much scorn i'll 1861,
seems destined to be one of those
''foolish things of the world'' which
are destined to ccnfound the wise, one
of those weak things which shall con.

was made to stop the train, but as It

we understand that the money YO-
ted by Parliament to make good that
stolen from ST. Adams, and given up
to the raiders, has been handed over
to the bank. This is scarcely carrying
out the statement made by the Gov
ernment when the subjecV was under
discussion in the House. When mem
bers then. inquired what was to be
done with the sum they were called on
to vote, they were assured that it was
not to be given UP Immediate sly: that
the decision of the Court WAS to be
awaited aud that it was only fair if
the men were to go back, that themon
ey should go back with. them. These
are pretty nearly, we think, the words
of the Atty. Gen. West, on the subject.
Well, it is true the Government
awaited the decision of the Court, but
that decision turns out somwhat diaer-
ciit from what they expected,--certain.
ly different from what they believed it
should be. The men are not TO be
