ron. THE SUN.
Quartermasters.
It has become the custom, throughout
the whole length and breadth of the Con
federacy, to abuse, indiscriminately,
the officers serving in the Quartermas
ter’s Department. In some individual
cases, there is no doubt that the abuse
is well deserved. A Quartermaster is
looked upon with a feeling of distrust
in almost every community iu which it
may be his fortune to be located. The
press of the country is tho special organ
of the greut body of abusers and fault
finders, and deals with no sparing hand
in vituperation aud abuse of the above
class of officers. There is no branch of
the army free from the existence of abuses
—as great even as those which exist in
the Quartermaster’s Department; and
to suppose that all the rascals connect
ed with the army are congregated in one
vast body and placed in the Quartermas
ter’s Department, is about as unreason
able and silly a supposition as could be
made. The Church, which is generally
admitted to be the purest of all human
organizations, contains no small quan
tity of dishonest people, itself. It is
the cnee with all human insiilutions.—
Would it not bo well for lliose people
who are so lavish in abuse of Quarter
masters, to look within themselves before
they ’“cast stones" at “glass houses.”—
Congress might do a wise thing by insti
tuting u scrutinizing inquiry into tho
official acts of all agents eulru||cd with
the execution of the laws of the country,
both civil and military. Let Quarter
masters, Commissaries, Ordnance officers,
Medical officers, and officers of the Line,
all be placed iu the same category, and
nil their official acta be subjected to (ho
same rigid inspection and scrutiny. The
country, the army, and every branch of
tho government, might be incalculably
bcnefilted by it.*
Let all officers found to be incompe
tent for the positions which they hold,
whether for want of honesty, fidelity or
qualifications generally, bo dropped at
once from the rolls, and placed in the
ranks. With a loug connection with the
army, i have no hesitancy in asserting
that a great many of the reverses which
have befallen our arms is attributable,
iu no small degree, to (he incompetency
of officers to discharge the duties requi
red of them, beginning with Generals
and ending with Corporals.
Will you not, Mr. Editor, enlighten
the public mind upon these matters '!

OFFICER.
In 1800 Jefferson lfavis made a speech
At Vicksburg, Miss. Little did bethink, ’
while graphically painting the wrongs of '
(the. South, what a series of struggles this \
gallant little city would witness. Here j
,:s an extract:
“If Mississippi, in her sovereign ca
pacity, decides to submit to the rule of
an arrogant and sectional North, then I j
will bit down as one whose brand of in
famy aud degradation has been writieu, j
and bear my portion of the bitter trial.
Dut if, on the other baud, Mississippi
decides to resist the hands that would
tarnish the bright star which represents
her on the National flag, then 1 will come
at your bidding, whether by day or iiy
night, and pluck that star from the gal
axy, and place it upon the crest of bat
tle, and gathering around me a nucleus
of Mississippi’s best and bravest, will
welcome the invader to the harvest of
death; and future generations will point
to a small hillock upon our border which {
will tell the reception which the invader
met upon our »oil.”

Affairs in Norfolk. —Tho Norfolk
(Va.) Old Dominion nays that the “Ist
U. S. colored cavalry” is nearly enlisted
in that city. The officers are taken from
the fid New York cavalry. There are
about lfiO prisoners in Fort Norfolk,
embracing merchants, farmers, soldiers,
citizens, women, and negroes. The “0.

about iho 20th of October; tbo sun then

Kith of l'ebruaiy. A glimmering indeed
continues some weeks after the setting
of the sun; then succeeds clouds and
thick darkness, broken by the light of
tiie moon, which is ns luminous as in
England, and tiui'iiig this long night
shines with unfading lustre. The cold
strengthens with tho new year, and the
sun is ushered in with an unusual sever
ity of frost. liy tho middle of March
the cheerful light glow.*strong. Arctic
foxes leave their holes, and the sea fowls
resort in great numbers to their breed
ing places. The sun sets no more ttfier
the 14ih May; the distinction of day
anti night is then lost, in the summer
the sun is hot enough to melt the tar on
I lie decks of ships, but from August its
(itiwer.dcelinoa ; it sets fast. After the
middle of September day is hardly dis
tinguishable, and by t.hc cud of October
takes a long farewell to this country ; the
earth becomes frozen, and winter reigns.
A Hint to oca Generals —The Duke
of Wellington said that if ho knew any
thing it was how to teed an army. The
general who possesses this knowledge, j
and exercises it, preserves thereby the j
health of his troops. Every general, then, I
should lie a sanitarian. It is not the
enemy, we arc told, however numerous
or skillful, who effect* the destruction of I
armies. It is fatigue, exposure, want of
food, (and, more particularly, proper
food,) want of shelter, want, of clothing,
want of sanitary prevention. Let us
“feel our responsibilities toward those
to whom wo entrust, the defence of our
toil uud our honor.”
Why is it?—The Montgomery Mail
says with much truth : “We speak advi
sedly and knowingly when we say that
the improvidence uud wanton abuse of
animals belonging to the Confederate
Elates, is the reason, and the sole reason,
for that drain o/ithe horses in I lie coun
try which has been going on now for
three years, to the serious detriment of
production and constant, outrage of pri
vate rights. It is an abuse that calls
loudly ior reformation.“
Christmas in New York.—The Jour
nai of Commerce says: The dealers iu
articles suitable for Christmas presents,
Say that they have never known such
lavish expeudiiuies in holiday purchases j
as have Seen made this year. The item i
of splendid gift books alone could be
counted at million's ed’ dollars. Every
i tiling of a handsome, showy, artistic, and
especially costly sort, has brought its
oWn price, the universal preference being
given to the gorgeous and expensive
things. Wolfe’s collection sold for the
large sum of t$ll2,OOH.
