It Again.
Correspondence n. Y. Times, JOth.l
The public had scarcely done gloating
over the Waterford Vivian affair, when
their eyes fell upon the following por-
tentous paragraph:
The whisper Of a grave scandal has
become so loud in circles where reliable
information is generally to be found, that
it is no longer possible to leave it unno-
ticed. 1t relates to a very high person.
age, whose position ought TO place him
high above the breath of suspicion, but
whose private life is quilted by excesses
which threaten to bring disgrace upon
the order TO which he belongs, and even
to sully the ermine Of royalty itself.
Had the causes Of complaint or of repro
baton been confined to private history
alone, the probability is that the vail
might not have been raised; but it is
asserted that hagrsnt abuse of patron
age has long prevailed in the department
over which the person in question holds
imperial sway, and that the storm of dis
satisfaction is attaining a strength and
impeluosity which will probably lead the
House tf Commons, in the interests of
the public, to direct such an inquiry as
the circumstances of the case may de-
mand. The subject is one Of extreme
delicacy, but, in reforming age like the
present, if suspicion justly attaches, it
would seem but right that those who are
responsible for the honor of the admin
ListratiSn, whether it be military, naval or
civil, should interfere, ere it be too late,
to prevent great scandal, if not ma
tional reproach. II is rumored that eer-
tain facts in connection with the matter
have been laid before the chief adviser
of the Grown, and that the first move to-
ward inquiry may possibly be in the
shape of motion in the House of Com
mons for return of the appointments,
pay, salaries, pensions and allowances
held by the individual in question.
This does not refer to the Prince of
Wales, who has been riding donkeys far
up the Nile, and mas now gone to Con-
stantinople; ncr to the Duke of Edin-
burgb, who is steaming round the world.
1t may puzzle Americans, perhaps, but
here it is as plain as print. 1t can only
mean George Frederick William Charles,
Duke of Cambridge, grandson of George
III, cousin of the Queen and Field-Mar-
shsl Com mandiug.ln-Chief, very jolly
bachelor of fifty, born the day before
Her Majesty, with the proverbisl tastes
of all his magnificent male relatives.
Whatever the matter, it will be hushed
up. The Queen, j believe, is very fond
of her scspegraee cousin, who ought to
have sown his last wild oat by this time,
and his sister, Princess Mary, of Teek, is
great favorite. We shall not hear
much more of the scandal; but mem
bers of Parliament and Of the Gcveru- /
ment, who are determined upon carry |
ing army reform into the highest quar-
ters, will know how to @aks it useful.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
We give place to the following commu.
nication in the hope that, If the state
ments herein contained are true, its pub
lication may lead to the colsction of our
dead, to be deposited with unknown "
at Hollywood or 0akwood. We confess
ourselves unwilling to believe that such
barbarity Is practiced almost within sight
of the spires of Richmond:
To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch
GENTLEMEN; Will you do me the favor
of calling the attention Of the memorial
societies and the public to the following
fact: Hearing, on Thursday last, that the
bones of Eumbers of the Confederate
dead we're exposed to the dogs aud heart
less hands Of the tenant of the farm
known as Burton's, on which stands
Fort Harrison, |, lie company with two
friends, went thither, and we saw in a
small field northwest OF the fort a sad
and sickening sight. Within about four
hundred yards of the fort lay on the
ground about fifty or more bodies-or the
bones of the bodies-of our noble and
brave Confederate dead, and in the ada
cent bushes we're four times the number
The skulls and other bones were guawed
by dogs; and, most horrible to relate, the
tenant of the land had gathered up two
large piles of the bones and burnt them
TO ashes.
Ny heart bleeds for the relatives of our
forgotten dead. | will not ask those who
remained at home, to enrich themselves,
during the war to aid in buryiug these
bones, but / appeal 10 those who fought
the battles 10 meet me at Fort Harrison
as soon as possible, and discharge this
honorable duty. can be found opposite
Fort Harrison at any time.
