The Spoils of War.

a Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says:
In June, 1865, there were received
at the Treasury Departm mt three large
wooden boxes, sand to contain yaluablss
turned over by the War Department
Tor safe keeping. These boxes have
been lying ever since in the vaults OF
the Treasury, but were to-day opened
through The efforts Of United States
senator, some Of whose constituent
were supposed to be interested. A
committee composed Of officers of the
two departments. The boxes were
found to contain valuable diamonds.
pearls, necklaces, watches, ear ings,
brooches, rings, chains, seals. and all
manner Of jewelry, to the value of many
thousands Of dollars. The most valua..
bie property, however, which the box
es contflned was very large amount ,t
gold and silver plate, consisting of pitch
ers. salvers, spoons, knives, urus. Sc.
some OF which was though: to have
been more than one hundred ,ears old,
One Of the boxes contained som, very
rich wearing apparel for ladies = silks,
velvets, Iaccs, &c.. besides an incredible
amount OF Confederate notes and bonds.
and notes Of State banks. There was
also a email amount Of specie, both gold
and silver. The boxes were about the
size OF ordinary dry goods boxes, and
the value Of their contents is varouslv
estimated at from $4,000 TO 100000.
Many Of the articles were slammed with
The family crcsts, initials, or monograms
Of the owners, and all were of the fines,
and most costly description. The box
es were sent by the Provost Marshal
General OF the Army OF Tennessee 10
Tho War Department in tins city, an1
Secretary Stanton turned them over to
Treasurer Spinner, subject to future &C
ton. The valuables are supposed to
have been taken possession Of by Sher.
mans men in Georgia and other States
where they had been abandoned by the
fleclng inhabitants. In some cases they
were taken from banks, which had ceas.
cd to 40 business upon the approach Of
the Federal army. The officers of both
departments are uncertain of their duty
IN the matter OF the disposition of this
property. Some hold that it should b,.
returned under proper restrictions anl
proof to the owner if they can be found.
Others believe the articles belong to the
government. under the laws of Con-
gress, and that they should be sold. and
the proceeds placed IN the Treasury ;
while s'ill others affirm that neither the
War nor the Treasury Department has
any autl. l.orlty III the premises, and that
SPECIAL ACT Of Congress should be called
Tor. Nothing has yet been dom, and
the valuables have been returned to the
vaults Of the Treasury.

the patriots in tho field.

The historian, Macauley, in tracing
out the causes of England's prosperi.
ty, attributes her rapid Improvement
in the mechanic arts, during the last
two hundred years, in a great degree,
to the revocation of the edict OF
Nantes. That Edict granted religious
liberation to the Protcstants of
France. It's revocation by Louis XIV
exposed them to all the horrors of a
cruel persecution. Thousands of
them made their escape to England.
Among these were great number of
tue finest mechanics Of Europe. They
contributed largely to the improve
ment.o their adopted country in many
arts, and richly repaid tho generous
hospitality with which they had been
received. So, in more recent times
the Northern and Eastern States have
been built up, by the influx of skilled
mechanics from Europe.
What we need here in tho South,
chiefly, IS a manufacturing and me-
chanical population, with su&cieat
capital to give permanent establish
ment to manufacturing industry

A MousE JUMps Down A JupGE's
THRoAT.-While Judge Archer, of
Marshall, Ind, was removing some
boxes from shelf one day Last week,
q mouse jumped out of one of them
and into the mouth of the Judge, and
started directly down his throat. The
Judge, unlike John Chinaman, did
not relish the taste, and after several
hawks, succeeded, despite tho efforts
of the mouse, in getting him out of
his throat into his mouth, but was
rather slow in getting hold Of the
"little dovil," and he made another
attempt but was again unsuccessful.
Whether the mouse was trying to
commit suicide, or whether he wanted
merely to "revive, the inner man."
we have no way of ascertaining, but
we are assured that he was successful
in soaring the Judge considerably.
