Making fortunes.

--A correspondent who professes to have had more than bird's-eye view of hospital management, thinks the Government has been freely bled by many of its agents employed at these institutions, and intimates that farms and houses could not be purchased and paid for by salaried employees who were in debt at the commencement of the war, if Government provisions had not been liberally appropriated to private uses. We know nothing of these abuses personally, but have been assured that they do exist, and ought to be inquired into. If and wounded soldiers have been robbed of the necessaries or by Government agents — If their meat and drink have been turned into houses and lands by Government hirelings, the people ought to know it, and the guilty parties ought to be held up to the scorn and execration of the world. If our correspondent will send us his name and the names of the guilty parties, we will see that his charges are given the proper direction for rigid investigation.
