The Washington correspondent of the Chi: cago Irihnni:, (Lincoln organ.) says that Green Adams, late Auditor of the Postoffice Department, and John F. Sharretts, his chief clerk, had been in the habit ot selling the waste paper of the Department, which accumulates very rapidly, to dealers, and put ting tho money in their own pockets. Du ring three years they have sold over ?5,000 worth not one dime of which have they eve paid hito the Trensury. They even went farther. Tin y cut down th wages of the laborer who had been, employed to prepare the paper for selling, from forty dollars a month to Cfty dollars a quarter. They sa:d that in the present rebellion, when the coun try was reeling under such a terrible load of expense and debt, it was the duly of every public officer to save what he could to the Government, and make all the sairilices pos sible to save his bleeding country. They therefore, with great reluctance, docked the poor devil's wages twenty dollars a quarter, and mournfully put the sanio in their pock ets. They then divided their ill-gotten gains, and left not a word nor a scratch of a pen in tho offieo to indicate to Uncle Sam that they were grateful to him for this spe cial maik of his favor. The new Auditor, Mr. Soils, discovered this business operation, wh.n Sharretts paid over his half ot the money. Adams has not yet paid over. He is now cotton agent at Nashville! A Greenback Called a Lie by Mr. Greeley. The New York Tribune, in an article ot finance says: "The greenback that calls itRelf $5 is un conscidosly a liar; it is really but a little over $2. And this, like all other lies, though it seems for the moment advantageous, is a general mischief and detriment. The scheming, gaming few may make by it; but ine lnuustrious many must lose. It will be seen that this high Republican authority now recognizes the gold standard alone., lie does not consider gold at premi um, nut currency' at a discount ot ttity-nve per cent. A Freak ot Xature. One of those remarkable and sineular freaks of nature, so seldom recorded occur red three miles' west of Larue a few weeks since, just across the county line, in Hardin county, in the birth of a child, havintr two head, two bodies, four arms and hand, four legs and leet, and two ot all the natural features.
