, and other contracts. Captain Turnly, a United States Commissary, was ordered to receive and pay exorbitant prices for inferior mules, from Captain Haskall, and upon protesting against this wrong was ordered away from the post by Gen. Fremont. Captain E. M. Davis, of General Fremont's staff, received a contract for blankets, which on delivery proved rotten and worthless, and though condemned, were paid for and sent to the hospitals.

The South will suffer no injury from this change, because it can build a navy upon the models of existing improvements, and man it without requiring for that purpose thoroughbred sailors, of whom it has very few.
