way, gives an odd look to a well-dressed young girl on Sunday, but one often sees that spectacle. The passion for tobacco among our men continues quite absorbing, and I have piteous appeals for some arrangement by which they can buy it on credit, as we have yet no sutler. Their imploring, Cunnel, we can't lib widout it, Sah, goes to my heart; and as they cannot read, I cannot even have the melancholy satisfaction of supplying them with the excellent anti-tobacco tracts of Mr. Trask. December 19, 1862. Last night the water froze in the adjutant's tent, but not in mine. To-day has been mild and beautiful. The blacks say they do not feel the cold so much as the white officers do, and perhaps it is so, though their health evidently suffers more from dampness. On the other hand, while drilling on very warm days, they have seemed to suffer more from the heat than their officers. But they dearly love fire,.and at night will always have it, if possible, even on the minutest scale,--

they could occupy the houses deserted by those who were serving in the Confederate army. But Banks' officers were inclined to consider themselves in garrison, for that would enable them to draw pay for quarters, according to regulation, at a somewhat extravagant rate per month, according to their rank. Then they could hire as cheaply as possible what they desired to occupy, and pocket the difference. [Copy.] office of the Chief Quartermaster, Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, Dec. 19, 1862. Wanted, immediately, a small, respectable, partially furnished house, for personal occupation. Furniture protected and rent promptly paid. Address undersigned at St. Charles Hotel, or office. S. B. Holabird, Colonel, Chief Quartermaster. I may remark here that no movement was made upon Port Hudson for many months,--not until the enemy had time to fortify it fully, and to reinforce it. The only thing done at first was to send down to Galveston a militia regiment, under a militi

Doc. 78.-inspection of army horses. Report of Mr. John S. Rarey. Washington, D. C., December 19, 1862. General: Pursuant to your orders, I visited the army of the Potomac, on the twelfth instant, to inspect the horses and mules in the cavalry, artillery and teams of the army. The movement of troops on that day, and the engagement at Fredericksburgh that followed during the six days that I remained with the army, gave me but little opportunity to see the management of the horse department in detail, though I had the opportunity to see them on duty. Having gone there very unfavorably impressed with accounts drawn from the dark side of the picture by those taking the rejected and disabled horses of the army as their stand-point, I found these animals in better condition than I had expected. The mule teams, with some exceptions, were in good condition, and I doubt if ever an army under similar circumstances was better provided for in this respect. The cavalry horse

large number of the sailors of her fleets came from the seaports of Great Britain and Germany; in a word, whatever could be of service to her in the conflict was unhesitatingly sought among neutrals, regardless of the law of nations. At the same time an effort was made on her part to make Great Britain responsible for the damage done by our cruisers, and for the warlike stores sold to our government. Some statements of Lord Russell on this point, in a letter to Minister Adams dated December 19, 1862, deserve notice. He says: It is right, however, to observe that the party which has profited by far the most by these unjustifiable practices, has been the Government of the United States, because that Government, having a superiority of force by sea, and having blockaded most of the Confederate ports, has been able, on the one hand, safely to receive all the warlike supplies which it has induced British manufacturers and merchants to send to the United States ports in violation o
