Dry GooDs AUoTIoNs.-The great event Of
the day in the trade sales was the clearing out
sale, for cash, Of the Atlantic Cotton Mills
stock in this city, of which William Gray, jr.,
is agent. This company, considering the un-
certainties of the times, has determined to make
a clean sweep and await q more settled Pc
riod. Mr. Gray, in a brief address, said they
would discontinue for some time-until July
at least-the manufacture OF many OF their
brands of brown cottons. -.
This portion Of thu ale, which took place at
Wilmerdfng's & Mounts, included about 1000
bales, not one of which was passed, beside
100 bales Of f1annels and 100 of linens. The at
tendance was more like that Of q monster po.
litical gathering than an every day auction
sale. The big fish evidently swept the little
ones from this raging pool whenever they
chose to do SO, and monopolized most of the
chances.
The sale was without reserve, and was yery
fairly conducted. The prices Obtained cannot
be said to have been even in sight Of those

NO.
The campaign closed is one of the most il not
altogether the most economical ever consum-
mated. The rations and acquired supplies for
Gen. Gerry's division, for instance, will fur
nish q basis for calculating the extraordinary
cheapness of this campaign to the Govern
ment, as translated into dollars and cents
Gen. Geary's command left Savannah with
three DAYS rations of salt beet, fifteen OF hard
bread, three of coffee, fifteen OF sugar, thirty OF
salt, and ten of soap. These rations were en-
tireIy consumed by the 25th of March. On the
other hand, the amount Of supplies gathered
from the country were 200 serviceable beeves
and cattle, between fifty and sixty thousand
rations Of flour and meal, thirty thousand
rations of salt meal, thirty thousand OF yege-
tables, and one hundred thousand OF salt
These estimates afford but a single and
simple feature of the calculation. Enough
horses and mules were captured to remount a
large army, and Of fuel and forage consumed,
and the enemy's property destroyed, 1t were
vain attempting. How much the whole army
saved the Government may be Judged by the
economy Of one division Incredible as it seems
the army has subslsted nearly sixty days in
the enemy's country with scarcely more than
half q months furnished rations.

in Rochester one day, we take the cars and
arrive at Winona In time for the boat to
La Crosse. After fighting mosquitoes and
bedbugs all night, we 60 ashore, and take
the Milwaukee & La Crosse railroad for the
former place. The country along the
western portion of the road rs poor and
sandy. The towns are small, but the build
ings look neat and comfortable. At Tunnel
City we pass through tunnel half a mile
long-the only one, we believe, in the
Northwest. d At Kilbourn we cross the
Wisconsin river, which, although not very
wide, Is said to be at this point one hundred
feet deep. This Is q very treacherOus stream,
in whose dark waters many a brave lum-
herman finds wateryl grave. After leav-
ing Portage we pass through q very fine
country, with here and there very pretty
little lake. We arrive in Milwaukee in
time to look about little, take supper, and
take the night train for Chicago We stop
in Chicago one day and visit the Illinois
State Fair, which Is very good. The show
of fruit is much better than we expectedto
see. q We noticed some apples that were
raised near Springfield, which averaged

The Kettle BoiIs.

The record of Gen. Morgan compares so
much more favorably with that of j. Dol
son Cox, that the Republican brethren are
looking about to prejudice the people IN fa-
vor of the latter. We have, from our, own
knowledge of j. D., recently made some
severe but Just structures upon his military
career, and those structures have set the
Abolition pot tIboiling throughout the State.
AS a general thing aman- need go no furth-
er to get information than to those officers
and soldiers who were under his immediate
command. The editor of the. PiQud y our
nal, renegade Democrat, by the way, has
hired some fanatical individual who has the
effrontery to sign himself SOLDIERS of the
kanawha," declaring that Gen. Cox was a
terrible hero at South Mountain-that he
was constantly in the thckest of the, fight !
This will be news to many of the boys who
were there and went through that storm
of iron and lead. In the same c0mmunica-
ton "Soldiers OF the Kanawha", says that
Eyart, editor of the Ptqla Democrat, who
was also soldier under Cox, skulked at the
same battle, but Eyart promptly brings an
affidavit from the surgeon of his regiment,
who affirms that he was sick and unable to
perform duty on the field. Proven liar
from the commencemento of his communica-
tion, this officious gentleman who pre-
sumes to speak Tor those who do not ask ii,
continues to lie to the end of his article, and
then boldly signs it with talsehood by
putting the signature of "Soldiers of the

Arrest of Paymasters-Shar
Tricks Of soldiers. eo,-I,f.

= s.Ia+f ~ NNSt~ -
Eight or ten officers and clerks, being
nearly the whole of the pay department at
this place, were arrested yesterday, and
conveyed to the office of the Provost Mar
shall of the Military Division, As nearly
as could be ascertained, they were charged
with purchasing 1905 and issuing them to
soldiers inliquidation OF their claims against
the Government, contrary to existing or
ders. .i .-. jf,l
The modus operandi is stated to be as fol-
lows: The parties arrested entered into
collusion with the stock brokers Of the city
and purchased from them (using Govern
ment funds in greenbacksl q quantity Of
zoos with which they paid off the soldiers.
The soldiers, of course, wanted their "big
bills broke,p and applied to the brokers,
who conspired to bear down the market,
and discounted the bonds at less than what
the soldiers paid for them. This margin
was the profits of the transaction, and was
divided between paymaster and broker.
Ofcourse these paymasters are all "loyal"
men, and like Alfred p. Stone and G.. Vol
ney Dorsey, have made 1t a part Of their
daily occupation to abuse Democratsl The
Republicans are the only friends Of the sol
diersl The boys in. blue are beginning to
think differently now.-Ptdtn Dealer. 93Siga ,,.s
