They pay a BulIalo twentj cents to carry the order to -Major E.

He, knowing,every mar.- iu the" country, signs the order, if he is a . yood union vian- that scuds it, and' or this he : receives tweuty cencs also. The order is tben carrfed to Brig Gen. Wcssels for approval, who also must have his tweuty s cents for writiDfj, .'his name. The order is then carried back to the picket stand, and before the owner cau get what he wants he -must give a Buffalo, appoiuteil for the purpose, on6 dollar f to go and get the articles.
