History informs us that certain Emperor
loved favorite horse so much SO that he had
golden manger made for him. This extrav-
agance appears objectionable nowadays, and
yet it is more pardonable than the opposite
extreme-meanness in the treatment of the
horse. In looking at the construction Of very
large proportion of our horse stables, am
sometimes led to think that the object of the
builder must have been to see how widely be
could depart from every principle Of humani-
ty and expediency-humanity in compelling
patient and faithful animal to remain penhed

pediency in thus sacrificing not only the COM
fort, but the health, and consequently the USE

When the tyrants Of the old countries sought
to inflict their most fearful punishments, next

sidered the most severe. Is it reasonable that

finement in our generally dark and gloomy

horse should be shut up day after day in a
dark stall or stable? Let every horse owners

Why then are the majority of the stables
constructed without the slightest regard to

There is one striking fact in regard to the
conduct of the war on the part of the rebel
ofllcals-tho apparent disregard of the loss
OF life or property Of the masses of the
people-recklessness is apparent in all their
actions. But the faithlessness of their con-
duct toward their rank and file in the army


we have noticed on many occasions Mr..


Raymond, Of the New York Times, paid a


visit to Williamsburg, after the battle at that


place, and gives description of the cruel
manner in which their own wounded were
treated by the rebels-when the surgeons did
make their appearance long time after tho
battle, they seemed to pay little regard to
the privates. Mr.. Raymond gives the sub
stance of conversation with one of these
poor fellows


"One Of the Mississippi men, with whom
talked, spoke in the highest terms of the
kindness he had experienced at the hands
oil the Union surgeons, and said it was very
different from what they had been taught to
expect.


II asked him if any of their own sur.
geons had been to see him. He said ore
had walked in the day before and looked at
him, but ho bad done nothing for him; in
deed, they said, they were only looking for
Southern officers. OF the men thoy took
very little notice, leaving them to tho care
of the NOrthsrn eurooonc ubo wal. -
glad to sec, no such distinction. Wherever
l went and talked with the rebel wounded, I
heard only one opinion expressed on this
subject. They all spoke in the most en-
phatic and unequivocal praise of the con-
duct Of all our men, soldiers and surgeons
towards them, dwelling particularly upon the
TACT that they had been taught to expect
very different treatment at our hands"

WANT or GRATITUDE IN CHILDREN.-It
is to be feared it is too frequently the case
that children and very young people are ut
terly wanting in gratitude to their parents.
They may and generally do love them sim
cerely and devoutcdly, and may be willing
even to sacrifice themselves for them; but it
never occurs to them that they have any
thing for which to be grateful. 1t seems so
much matter OF course that all good things
should flow to them from their parents, that
they never give thought to the source
whence they are derived. 1t is not until
the PARENTAL hand is withdrawn by death,
that they discover how much they owed to
those who are no more; how much they
miss the tender care that can no more assist
them

ASTOUNDING ARMY FRAUDs.-We publish this
morning highly important account OF the Of
fetal investigations by government commits
sioner into series Of systematic and astounding
army frauds. For the last two months Colonel
H. ). Olcott has been pursuing his inquiries,
and the result is that he has accumulated
mass Of evidence that will astonish the whole
country. Such system Of bold and outrage
ous swindling has not been heard Of in long
series of years, and the probability is that no
parallel at all can be found for these frauds
During the Crimean war we were amazed to
hear Of the gigantic frauds committed on the
Russian government, and the Italian war de-.
veloped similar frauds on the Austrian govern
ment. We thought these were immense for
supposed that those outrageous peculations
would be altogether outdone in our own
country.

extent Of these frauds in this city, where there
are so many rogues and schemers, infamous
contractors and other sbarpers, it is understood
that they are fer more extensive in the West.
