A BAD EPFECT. One of the results of the late retrograde move- meat of our army of the Po'omac is, evidently, increased relaxation of dizcipline. Since their return to their old quarters on the Rappahan- noek, we hear that uncontrolable squads ot the mem have been burning houses right and eft, including those of some c'tizens notorious for their steady opposition to the rebellion. | Among those thus wantonly destroyed by our troops is 'he fine residence of Mr. James O- , Harris, ex-sheriff of Culpeper county, who for stile wo yenre after the war began was an A@vowee suc pere‘stant oppouent of the rebel- liom, anc the finer restdence of Mrs. Taylor, near St STAMPEDED. ‘The vigorous mauer in which the Secretary ef War is dealing with alleged peculators has crested a regular stampede araongst them, and each is anxiously inquiring it anything has been heard against him, fearing that his turn will come rext. Only a few days ago several contractors, who bad grown rich and fat, lierally, on public | Plunder, were cen‘ to the penitentiary, noi- withstanding the importunities aud remo: strances of influential persons in their behalf. | More recently, Q uar'ermaster Belger, of Balti- More, who rested in fancied security behiad the decision of a court-martial, was stripped of whitewash by the Secretary, and dismissed from the service. On the day before yesterday, a defaulting and absconding Paymaster, Major Freeman, was caught and safely lodged in the Old Capitol for trial. To-day we learn that Quartermaster Sto. dard, stationed at Alexandria, war arresied last evening, and is accused of large frauds, and will probably be as summarily dealt with.
