CO., raid on BOUNTY jumpers.

For several days Colonel Baker was
engaged i'm planning descent on large
number of bounty Jumpers, and on Sat
urday he succeeded in the effort. By the
exercise of novel, if not unparalleled
strategy, hundreds of aspirants for jump
ing the bounty were attracted to a spa
cious recruiting office which the colonel
had opened at Odd Fellows Hall, Hobo
ken. Officers were stationed in the build.
ing who paid the highest bounties to all
who were enlisted, and who had been
sent to the Office by detectives whom
they had met in various haunts and sa-
looms in this city. Colonel Ilges was ap-
pointed mastering officer of the recruit
ing rendezvous, and the recruits were al
lowed to Jump" Immediately after re-
ceiving their bounty Their easy escape
with large amounts led others to follow
their example, and Colonel Baker deter
mined to arrest all of them. Colonel
Ilges and Lieutenant Rives, of the 9th
infantry, who had charge of the office
guard lat first refused to be connected any
way with the fraud, and at length they
reluctantly consented to act On Friday
and Saturday large numbers OF the am
bilious bounty Jumpers appeared at the
hall, and upwards of five hundred OF
them were arrested They were prompt
" handcuffed and sent to Fort Lafayette,
which has been devoted to their exclu-
sive use-its previous occupants having
been sent to Fort Warren. Among those
arrested are Dennis Sullivan, who was
tried for the murder of Tom Burns i'll the
First Ward McNally, convict who
escaped from Sing Sing prison, and about
one-half of an up-two fire company. 1t
is said that the bounty jumpers will be
sent to General Grant, with instructions
to pass them in the front ranks at the
next battle.
Several attaches of the provost mar
shal's office of the second district, Will
Harrisburg, were also arrested by Colonel
Bakers detectiyes.-UorM

"A .sbseal..isn spoiled.

AWashington city correspondent says
ut is affirmed in high quarters that the
expedition up the Rappahannock, when
captured and destroyed the large quanti'
ty of tobacco, was ordered by Secretary
STANTON, at the instigation of Hon 4.
B. WAsHBURNE,, without the knowledge
of either the President or General GRANT,
both of whom are alleged on the same
authority to have been aware that the
tobacco vas there and also that T pc
longed to loyal persons"
II seems, therefore, that the Executive
and the War Department are playing at
cross purposes in other matters than
those of national concern. 1t has been
reported that the destroyed tobacco be-
,onoed TO General SINGLETON, OF Illinois.
whose frequent visits to Richmond unoer
masses from President LINCOLN, have
bsen made the subject of frequent COM
msnt by the peace-rumor manufacturers.
This statement has been denied, howev-
or and the people are left to conjecture
who are the loyal persons" whose nice
little speculation in tobacco has been
sno;,ed nv Messrs. STANTON and WASH
a,rRyr It is said that the loyal" pur-
cbasers of the tobacco were to furnish to
the rebels (under permission OF "the gov
eminent" of course a large amount OF
bacon in exchange for the valuable weed
but we suppose it will hardly be deliver
cd now, and these loyal" persons may
congratulate themselves that, if they
have lost their tobacco they have at
least Saved their bacon"
We used to hear, not very long ago.
that the rebels were to be starved ont"
They were to be surrounded by "a cor
don of fire" and, their supplies Of food
being cut off, with grim and gaunt
starvation staring them in the face, 1t
was prophe sled that they would soon lay
down their arms and return to Uncle
ABRAHAMs embrace But if Loyal per-
sons" under the sanction OF the fresi-
dent, are to be permitted to supply the
rebels with the fat of the land" the
starvation plan must be at once aban-
doned. wepresume that Senator CHAN
n1ER's idea of the necessity OF "a little
more blood-letting" is still in taver with
the Administration.

An Exciting Rmd,cuy-EuH and Sue.
oi''ct .Accoant.-J. b. Powers, Esq, ha.
been made the victim of misplaced con-
tidence. Last Monday he hitched his
iron gray at DR.. Meredith's and went
in tosee the doctor. The horse con-
cluded he must go, and went. Powers
thcreupon concluded he must go, and
went also. The two engaged in spir-
tied race across tho prairie, which is
described by those who beheld it, as
most exciting. II is needless to say,
however, that Powers hadn't power
enough for the exigencies of the occa-
sion, and came in on the home stretch
ANONYMOUSLY behind and sadly out of
wind. He must have made some tall
Jumps, nevertheless, for he bounded
away from his. pocket book, which, ow-
ing to Its heft, probably, was unable to
keep up. At this writing the green
backs have not been recovered. They
doubtless got confused in the absence of
legal advice. The horse was brought
to by some kindly hands, near his
boaling stable, and the 'Sauire's yehi-
Gle bore evidence of the rashness of the
'SqHre's horse. The buggy was SO
thoroughly dcn,oralized, that it was the
opinion of a reliable mechanic that
seventy-fire'dollars would be necessa-
ry expense to place it in respectable re-
pair. Take it all around, the action If
the horse was decidedly disreputable,
and altogether inexcusable. 1t would
