CHRISTMAS.
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth, from heaven to men,
Begin and never cease.”
Christmas is again upon us, kind readers.—
As we write, we can almost hear the gathering
chime of its happy bella upon the frosty air.
The day is one of the stepping-stones of Time,
and as we stand for a moment upon its nar
row base, we may look backward into the shad
owy Past, forward into the infinite Future.
Beautilul, touchingly beautiful, the language
ol the divine messengers as they appeared to
the simple shepherds, watching their flocks on
the plains of Judea. It was the dawning of a
new and better day to poor, benighted human
ity. It was the morning star of a regenerated
w *rld. It was the announcement that old sys
tems had accomplished their work andthatold
formations were to be overlayed by newer and
richer strata. It was the first “glad tidings''
(hat came “to all people.” It was the first
message that leveled all distinctions between
men: the first ray of hope thatshone as bright
-1 in the hovel as in the palace. >
It was the first divine recognition of human-
i 7 as a grand whole, placing, each individ
tii on the same level before his Creator. It
- vas the first assertion of the gVeat prin
• riple of common equality —the equality
i f all men before the Law of God. It
’/as the proposition from which the divine
1 faster afterwards deduced “The Golden Rule.”
"Who can tell the woe that has been
brought on our race by the disregard of this
rimple, fundamental principle of Christianity ?
_ ‘or more than eighteen hundf&d years it has
\ ‘Hindered at the gdtes of despotism, over-
J irning thrones and scattering false theories
to the winds. Man, elevated above his fellows
by temporal circumstances, raised his puny
i-.rm to oppress and use them for his own ad
vantage. Systems were established on the
theory that mutual favors do not beget mutual
bligations. They flourished for awhile. But
t hen the cries of the outcast and the groans of
I 'ie anguished came up before the Alinighty,
human devices were swept away, and the old
Christmas doctrine of humanity was declared
vrth new force. What, after all, is Christian
■ i y but a system rules to regulate our con
duct, purified and made authoritative by the
divinity of their author? Ho alone has its true
i lea who draws from it not only his religious,
but his social and political faith. Whatever
r lay be the religious faith of a people, if their
t >cial and pel tical systems are not built on
fhe great fundamental idea of Christianity,
they cannot stand. The Declaration of Inde
• pendence is but an elaboration of it; the late
viar is but an exhibit ol the consequences of its
ft isregard.
“Peace on earth, good-will toward men,” peal
cut the merry Christmas bells'.
When last they broke upon our waiting ears,,
the air was heavy with sighs, tears,
s.nd restless with great sobs
O ! how cheerless fell
desolated by war and
gles between sore bereavemWHHfififlPro pa
triotism. High above chimes
Founded the whistle of bullets, the shriek of
shells, the thunder of canuon, the groans of
the dying. Tltfank God! we have drifted into
a calmer swell on the great Time Ocean. The
star again shines in the East. The smoke of
battle has cleared away, the cannons have
ceased their booming, the groans of the woun
ded have subsided. The glory of truth and
right has broken in upon thedarknesof wrong,
and the old doctrine of good-will and equal ob
ligations toward all men is re-asserted.
Let us drink in the rich fullness of the Christ
mas chimes to-day; let us attune our grateful
hearts to their grandest melody. Let us try
to comprehend the full burden of their song—
“ Peace on earth, good will to all men.’’
This is the anniversary of humanity—a Hol
iday that belongs as well to the beggar as to the
king. It is a time for festivity, for good-feel
ing and social re-union. Let us celebrate it
with zest, and let us unite with our rejoicings,
the thought that it is the era of a new birth to
the nation and of her redemption from war and
it) dire cause— Slavery.
A merry Christmas to all our readers. We
hope that Kriss Kingle will be' especially lib
eral to the little folks, and that they may open
their impatient eyes on Christmas morning on
stockings well filled with all the essentials of
juvenile happiness. And as we gather around
the festive board, laden with the rich bounties
ot a merciful Providence, let us not forget the
widow and the orphan, the needy and afflict
ed. And let us unite our petitions for the spee
dy coming of the time, when
“Each man’s good
Shall be our rule, and universal Peace
Lie I i ke-a. shaft of light across the land,
And like a lane of beams across the sea.
Through all the circle of the golden year.”
Congress.
The only Laws which have thus far passed
both Houses and beep approved by the President
are a Bill prohibiting the importation of cattle
during the continuance of the cattle plague in
Eunqie, and a Bill regulating the selection of ju
rors, in the District of Columbia.
Bills have been introduced to pay $25,000 his
last year’s salary, to the family of Mr. Lincoln.
Also, that both Houses assemble on the 12th of
February, to listen to an address on the charac
ter and services of the late President, by Sec’y
Stanton.
The Judiciary Cqpimittee of the House was in
structed to iuqire into the allegeded disloyalty of
Benj. G. Harris, of this State, and report such
action as seem necessary. An important
resolution has passed the House, proposing to
amend the Constitution, so that no State shall
be allowed to impose any tax, duty or import,
to |>ay a debt incurred for rebellious purposes.
A Bill passed the House regulating Rail Road
communication between the States. The Dele
gates from this State and N. Jersey opposed it,
as it struck at some of the monopolized rights of
ti e Balt. A Ohio, and Camden A Amboy Rail
Roads. The Bills forgianting negro suffrage iu
the District, meet with strong opposition. Tbad.
Stevens of Penna. has l>een indulging in speeches
of characteristic bitterness and radicalism.—
Both Houses have adjourned until January 3d.
Consolidation . —The Gennesse Farmer, pub
lished at Rochester, N. Y., has been united with
the American Agriculturist, and its Editor added
to"tbe Editorial Corps of the latter journal.
Tins infringement will make the Agriculturist ad
dilflttiuHy valuable to its many readers, although
it lias long been the best periodical of its class in
the country. At the low priceofsl 50peryr. no
practical Farmer can afford to be without it.—

The County Roads.
It is needless to till I'the people’that our County
Roads are not oriously bad. Any person who is j
so unfortunate as to be compelled to use one of
them, knows this by bitted experience. There is
no lack for stone and other material to bridge
the streams and keep the roads in good order.— j
And the only cause we can assign for their pres
ent shameful condition, is the negligence of su
pervisors or the inefficiency of the Law. Nor do
the people themselves, in some sections, manifest!
that interest in this subject which its importance
demands. They forget that it is poor economy
to save fifty Dollars in repairing a road and spend
three times that sum in keeping an extra horse
to haul their loads, not counting the loss in time,
the wear and tear on wagons, the strain on their
patience and the injury to their morals. They
forget that strangers are apt to judge a country,
its soil, people and everything belonging thereto,
by the character of its roads. Show ns a settle
ment with smooth, solid, well graded roads, and
we will show you a settlement with a well-im
proved soil, always commanding a ready sale,
an intelligehtj enterprising people, good schools,
well-attended churches and a high state of pub
lic morality. But show us a settlement with
narrow, undrained, stony roads, with steep hills
and impassable gulches, probably winding
around after some old water course, and we will
show you a settlement with a thriftless popula
tion, light crops, mean farm buildings, poor
schools and churches, bad fences, overworked
stock and other evidences of thriftlessness and
poverty.
Now we beseech the Board of Commissioners,
for the honor and prosperity of the county, not
Only to select honest and capable men as super
visors, but to make liberal appropriations for
the public roads and bridges. Money judicious
ly spent in this way wHI bring a tenfold return.
We do not look for a perfect remedy of the
evil of which we complain until the Legislature
gives us a new road law. Under the present
system, too much money is apt to go into the
supervisors’ pockets and too little on the roads.
We believe in each District electing its supervi
sor and paying him a fixed per diem, with a
road tax assessed and collected as other taxes
are and the privilege, to each man of working
out as much of bis tax as he feels disposed, be
labor on the roads. Then the people can have
their roads as they want them.
News Items.
The first trial for treason, that has taken place
in this country since the case of Aaron Burr, is
now going on in the U. S. Dist. Court in Tennes
see. The case is, the U. S. vs. JohnS. Gamble,
formerly a Rebel enrolling officer in that State.
Sec. Seward has officially announced the rati
fication of the proposed amendment to the
constitution by three fourths of the States, and it
is hence fully adopted as a part of that article.
It reads thus:
“Article 13, section 1. Neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude except as punishment for
crime, whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist within the United Statesor
any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to en
force this article by appropriate legislation.
At last, the “irrepressible conflict” is ended,
and not a slave can live in our borders.
The Provisional Governor of Aladama ha 3
been relieved by direction of the President, and

The Agt. tor the Poor. —We have received a
communication from an unknown correspondent,
calling attention to the valuable services rendered
the County by Joseph Merryman, Esq., the pres
ent efficient and industrious County Agt. for the
Alms House, and the necessity of increasing his
compensation. We have before spoken of the
utterly inadequate amount paid Mr. Merryman
for his work, and of the importance of increasing
the compensation as a simple act of justice loan
honest and capable public servant.
We would be glad to hear of the Legislature
passing a Bill granting proper compensation to
Mr. Merryman.
The Registry Law.- The case of Thos. An
derson of Montgomery County vs. the Registers
. of a certain Dist. of that County, has been final
i ly disposed of. It was argued before the Court
. of Appeals in Oct. last, by Hon Reverdy John
son, Attorney Gen. Randall and other eminent
, jurists. Four of the justices assert the constitu
tionality of the Law, while but one dissents
r from this opinion. Each of them has published
his opinion and the collective documents exhibit
a vast amount of legal learning and research.
Their decision is final in such cases and will at
once B top all legal proceedings in cases that rest
r upon the unconstitutionality of the Law.

* Gen. Grant, who lately made a tour of in
, Bpeclion through the South, has embodied his
I observations in a Report which accompanied the
late- Message of the President. We make the fol
lowing extract ;
I lam satisfied that the mass of thinking men
f the South accept the present situation of affairs
in good faith. The questions which have bere
r totore divided the sentiments of the people of the
f tyvo sections—slavery and State Rights, or the
I right of a State to secede from the Union—they
regard as having been settled forever by the
1 highest tribunal—arms—that man can resort to.
. I was pleased to learn from the leading men
, whom 1 met that they not only accepted the de
cision arrived at as final, but that, now the
smoke of battle has cleared away, and time has
• la*en given for reflection, that tiiis decision has
been afortnnate one for the whole country, they
receiving the like benefits from it with those
i who opposed them in the field and in council.—
1 Four years ot war, during which law was execu
ted only at the point of the bayonet througout
the States in rebellion, have left the people, pos
‘ ffbly, in a condition not to yield that ready obe
i dience to civil authority the American people
i have generally been in the habit of yielding.—
This would render the presence of small garri
sons throughout those States necessary, until
• such time as labor returns to its proper channel
and civil authority is fully established. I did
. not meet any one, either those holding places un
i der the Government or citizens ol the Southern
j States, who think it practicable to withdraw the
military from the South at preseat. The white
* and the black mutually require the protection of
\ the General Government. There is such univer
, sal acqfiie*cenr<rjo the ‘authority of the General
Government throughout the portion of the conn--

Towsontown, pursues the even tenor of its way
with little to disturb its muddy surface. There
has not even been a dog-fight lately, owiug prob
ably to the uncertainty of a foothold. The Coun
ty Commissioners have not yet made fin appro
priation to fill up the romantic gulches in our
avenues and improve our precarious foot-paths,
and so the town continues in all the grandeur of
its Alpine scenery.
, “O wad some power the giftie gie them
To see our town as ithers see it.”
Mr. Wm. Bowen of 8., is making some im
provements on his new property, nearly oppo
site Webb’s hotel. The old lime-kiln is being
torn away and a new fence erected along the
whole front of the property. A bath-house
is also being erected at the Srnedley House, for
-the nsc of its guests. Mr. Roach has also erected
a small dwelling on one of Judge Payne’s lots,
near the entrance of the Hillen Road. New
buildings and other much-needed improvements
are being talked of for next Spring, in the hope
that building material will then be lower. Most
important of these is a new M. E. Church. Mrs.
Shealy has generously offered the fine lot be
tween the York and Valley Turnpikes, for that
purpose, besides a largo donation in money.—
The congregation as well as the community need
a new Church, and we hope to see ground broke
for it early in the Spring. Application will be
made to the Commissioners for changing the bed
of the Ilillen Road as it enters town, a change
which will add greatly to the appearance of that
part of the village. The new road to Charles St.
avenue has been granted and laid out, and is
only waiting the action of those interested to
open and grade it for travel. Let this be done
speedily.
Business at the Court is progressing rapidly
under Judge Stockbridge, and the Juries who
seem to be a moral and intelligent body of men,
are kept steadily at work.
Immense quantities of provender have been pass
ing down toward the city in view of the Holidays.
The markets are good and the slaughter among
the swine and poultry must have been terrible, up
the country.
Everybody, except the poor Printers, is look
ing forward to the season of festivity just open
. ing, and among young and old, there is a gener-
I al relaxation of care at its near approach. Hav
■dng neither wife nor turkey, we shall rely upon
■bur fnithfulmpe and a glass of egg-nogg for our
P 'Pprexereises at the Conrf House on Wednes
day flight were of the most interesting character.
Some of theJtjhildren of the public school, read
, selections from their school-books and sang sev
eral pieces, after which Rev. L. Van Bokkelen,
State Snpt. of Instruction, delivered an interest
ing and instructive address, showing the dre
signs of the Public School system, explaining
the Law, Ac. It was delivered in the usual ani
, mated style of the speaker and was listened to
with earnest attention. Gen. Hayward, the ir
repressible humorist, with some half-dozen ofbis
singintr association were present, and entertained
the audience with some of their choice comic and
sentimental songs. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather, the audience was much smaller than
it otherwise would have been.
After the exercises at the Court House were
concluded, a large part of the company adjourned
to the Smedley House, where an elegant supper
had been prepared for the invited guests. Mr.
Langdon deserves great credit for his success in
the culinary art. It was decidedly the finest
supper we have ever had the pleasure of parta
king in Towsontown. There was an abundant
variety, and everything was gotten up in the
best stvle. John H. Longnecker Esq., presided,
who read the following toasts :
The Bar —responded to by Jno. T. Ensor.
The Press—responded toby L. M. Haverstick.
The Pulpit—responded to by Rev. L. Van
Bokkelen.
The Public Schools—responded to by S. Parker
Bosley.
The new School System—responded to by W.
Horace Soper.
Mirth and good feeling prevailed inside,
while the storm raged without, and it was nbt
until past midnight, that the special car started
for the city with the guests from that place.
Woodberry. —A Literary and Reading Asso
ciation has been organized at Woodberry, with
. Jas. E. Hooper, Esq., us President, Ohas. G.
Leef, Vice-President; L. B. Tebbets, Secretary,
and Chas. Peregov, Treasurer. It already num
bers 70 members and is still increasing. Through
the liberality of the Messrs. Hooper, Neisou Gam
brill. Esq., Poole A Hunt and others, a fine Hall
has been fitted up over the Messrs. Leef s store
room, furnished with an excellent Library and
some 20 to 30 of the leading newspapers and pe
riodicals o> the day. This Hall is open five nights
of the week, where all can come and spend the
evenings in reading. Arrangements have been
made for a course of monthly Lectures, the first
of which wap delivered last week. The payment
of SI.OO entitles a member to the whole course
for the Winter. The Draughtsmen employed by
Messers. Poole & Hunt, will also shortly begin a
course of lessons in drawing, to those who may
wish to attend, free of charge.
Great credit is due those who have organized
this Society. It cannot fail to prove of great
social, moral aud intellectual benefit to the citi
zens of Woodberry*, There is probably not a
more prosperous, intelligent, virtuous and happy
a manufacturing town in the country than Wood
berry. The new dwellings being erected for the
use of employees in the cotton mills are comfort
able and tasteful, and an ait of prosperity and
enjoyment pervades the entire place, which is
seldom noticed in a manufacturing town.
■ Oakland. —Oakland is a small but growing
village on the N. C. R. R near the Penn, line.—
Amoug the residents are Col. John W. Horn,
late of the 6th Md. Regt., and Rev. Samuel Kra
mer, a local elder in the \l. E. Church, and late
Major, of the 3d Md. Regt. This gentleman was
• full of zeal for his Country in the dark days of
April 1861, and contributed earnestly to the or
ganization of the Ist, 2d aud 3d Md. Regts. He
was appointed Chaplain of the 3d Regt., and af
ter the battle of Anlietam was commissioned Ma
jor, that officer having been killed at the battle
of Cedar Mountain. He remained in service un
till compelled to resign from injuries received in
the line of duty. /
Through his exertions, in which he was liber
ally aided by Col. Horn, W. H. Hoffman Esq ,
Win. Raymond,. Esq., of the firm of Raymond
A Burton of Balto., and many others, a neat and
comfortable Chapel has been erected to the service
of God, and is now a regular preaching appoint
ment on Shrewsherry Circuit of the M. E. Church.
A flourishing Sunday School is also kept up at
the new Churc’i.
A correspondent sends us these items with the
outlines or a sermon preached at Oakland chapel
on Thanksgiving day by Mr. Kramer, from the
text.—“ Happy is he who hath the God of Israel
for his help; whose hope is in the Lord his God.”
Want of space forbids us publishing the entire
letter. It is pleasing to know that men who
fought so well on the field of battle, can toil so
faithfully on the field of humanity.

DcMNfv’a Valley.—The Sweet Air Turnpike
is completed from the Bridge over the Gunpow
der to a short above Gen. Trimble’s
place, a distance apibout 4 miles. Some of the !
hills are well graded; fnd when the well,
i beaten down, will be a great improvement ever j
the old Road. Part of the Road has been exam-!
ined and passed, and a Toll Gate has been placed
on it at the Bridge. The new pike will prove of
i great advantage to the Farmers living the
Valley. Already.** hear of other improvements
started along the line. Mr. Dennis Matthews is
erecting on that part of bis Karin bordering on
the pike, a Blacksmith and wheelwright shop,
with several dwellings. Next Snmmer he propo
ses putting up other buildings and opening a
• store at the same place.
[ The'Jarrettsville Turnpike is also progressing
• and is completed from the bridge to a point
above Badders* Tavern, a distance of about 4
i miles. A new Toil House is being erected by the
' Co., near the new School House, about J mile
> from the Gunpowder Bridge. This road seems
\ to be well graded and covered with a good bed
, of stone
Baltimore Business College.—We lately had
i the pleasure of being shown through the various
■ departments of this popular Institution, by the
, Principal, Mr. W. If. Sadler. It consists of a
t magnificent Hall with other rooms attached, on
, the corner of Lexington A St. Paul Sts., and a
Theoretical Department in the Rible House on
, Fayette St. The two buildings .Are connected by
. a Telegraphic wire, by the use of which, stu
-1 dents are taught the art of Telegraphing. The
i system ofinstruction at this Institution is most
. thorough and complete, embracing every possl-
ble branch of mercantile business, and is taught
, by practical transactions in Banking, Merchan
dizing, Shipping, Ac. A large number of stu
, dents are in constant attendance both day and
night, and business is reduced to a practical and
> systematic profession. At this day, every young
r man intending to enter mercantile life, should
have a business education. We can 6afely re
) commend the above Institution as offering supe
• rior advantages for its acquirement.
, Reistkrßtown.—A correspondent, who will
, please accept thanks for the favor, sends us the
f following items from Reisterstown :
An interesting revival of religion is going on
f in the M. E. Church, a large number of penitents
presenting themselves at the altar every night.
On Sun. morning a week, about twenty united
■ with the Church. Revs. Krebs and Lipscombc
are the preachers in charge.
. The Reisterstown Division of the Sons of Tem
. perance is in a flourishing condition, many young
. men having joined lately.
: Large dioves of Stock are driven through the
, town on Sunday, on their way to the City raar
r kets much to the annoyance of church goers and
others. Is there no law to prevent this ?
The name of the huckster who was knocked
down on the Reisterstown Road near the ten
. mile house lately, by a couple ruffians, is Caleb
- S. Blizzard, not Frizzle, as we then published it.
: Mr. Frizzle, has since died of heart disease.
Govanstown.—The residence of Mr. Walter
' Dyer, near Govanstown, was entered on Friday
l night of last week, and a considerable amount
, of valuable clothing stolen therefrom, aoount
r ing in value to upwards of SIOO.
i Mr. Lewis Ritter, the well-known and popu
i lar proprietor of the Govanstown hotet, has dis
t posed of the good-will and fixtures of that estab
. lishment, to Messrs. Ruskell A Co. of Baltimore.
- Mr. Ritter intends removing to Baltimore.
t Rev. J. H. Kauffman was on Sunday last, in
- stalled as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
1 Govanstown, Baltimore county. Rev. Joseph
> T. Smith, D. D., preached the sermon ; Rev. J.
i S. Stuchell delivered the charge to the new jias
[ tor, and Rev. Mr. Bittinger, of Ellicott’s Mills,
; to the congregation. The services were of an
t interesting character, and a largo number of per-
were present.

> Orphans’ Court.—Wm. Kidd, Administer
i tor of John F. Kidd received an order to sell 11

Important to Delinquents.—The following
stanza will show what this class of the commu
i nity may expect hereafter. We hope the lines
t will be taken seriously to heart by all interested.
“Tell me, angelic host, ye messengers of love,
Shall swindled printers here below have no re
! dress above?”
The shining angel band replied: “To os in
knowledge given,
Delinquents on the printers’ books can never
enter Heaven !”

B. F - Cole, Esq.—This gentleman, well-known
to many of our Readers as the former salesman
in Benj. Stine’s clothing store on Baltimore St.
Baltimore, now occupies the same position in
the establishment of Stein Bros. 295 Baltimore
St. This firm will retail their immense whole
sale stock of clothing at cost prices, until Janua
ry, Ist, and we advise all who want bargains to
call on Mr. Cole at that place.
The Post Office.—We hear frequent complaints
lately, of irregularity in the itfails and the de
lay of our paper, sometimes for a whole week.—
We assure our Readers thatthe “Union” is regu
larly mailed every Friday afternoon and what
ever delays occur are caused by the Baltimore
city P. Office. We will inform the P. AL there
and endeavor to have the matter corrected.
Patent Broom Head.—We been shown
by the agent. Mr. Chas. E. Young, a very simple
and complete arrangement for making Brooms.
It consists of an iron head into which the corn is
inserted and tightly held, so that any man can
easily make his own brooms, without the use of
cord. It will be found a simple and economical
arrangement, and can be seen at Lewis Vogle’s
store.
Another Robbery.—On Wednesday last, Mr.
E. S. Myers, of Govanstown, bad cause to sus
pect that a colored wonnm in bis employ had
stolen some bedding Ac. On examining her
trunk, a quantity of bed-dolhing, with other
articles was away there. She is
now lodged in the Towsontown jail.
Another.—On Monday nigljt last, Mr. Abm.
Shertzer, living on the “Furnace Farm,” * few
miles above Towsontown, was awakened by a
noise among the chickens. On going out he
found two men stealing bis poultry, who run on
his approach. He shot at one of them with a
gun but did him no damage. They had already
taken a Turkey and several chickens, all of
which they dropped in their flight.
Another.—One night last week, a pair of car
riage springs were stolen from the Blacksmith
shop of Mr. Alex. Parlett in this place. The
County as well as the city is infested with a
crowd of the light-fingered gentry and people
would do well to keeep a sharp look out.
Bridge Completed.—The new bridge over the
Patapsco at Woodstock, built jointly by Balto.
A Howard counties, is completed. Mr. Samuel
F. Butler, of Towsontown was the contractor.—
It is represented as a firat-class piece of mechan
ism. - *■
Change op Time.—The Soldiers Association of
the 7th district, will not meet until Sat. 30th, at
6 o'clock P. M. Would it not be well for other
districts to organize similar societies.

Report of the Sec. of War.
This is a mo3t thorough and ably-witten docu
ment containing much interesting information.
We extract the following items therefrom for the
benefit of our readers.
On the Ist of May last our aggregate military
force of all arms amounted to one million five
hundred and sixteen men, of whom Eix hundred
and sixty-two thousand three hundred and forty
five were available for active operations in the
field, one hundred and nine thousand on detailed
service, and the residue either sick, prisoners or
absent. The army is to be reduced to fifty-thou
sand men and eight hundred thousand have
been discharged and paid off in six months
The military appropriations of the last Congress
amounted to over five hundred and sixteen
millionshe asked of this Congress less than
thirty-four millions.
Of white troops 1,057,423 cases have been
treated in hospital during the war, of whom the
mortality was eight per cent. Over 700 trans
ports on rite ocean have been constantly employ
ed by the Quartermaster s Department with a
loss of hut three. . '
Ttie burial.records of the Quartermr’s. Depart
ment do not include those wtio fell in battle and
. • were buried immedmtly on the field. They shea
the interment in cemeteries of 116.148 persons,
of whom 98, 626 were loyal, and 12,595 disloyal
—95,803 where white, 20,803 colored. Between
the 20th of April and the Bth November, 1865,
the Quartermaster’s Department sold property to
the amount of §13,357,345.
The Rebel armies which surrendered at the
close of the rebellion numbered 174, 223 men, of
whom Lee had left only 27,805 in his final sur
render, and Dick Taylbr had over forty-two thou
sand, the largest rebel force surrendered by any
one General.
The government retains in its arsenals more
than a million of the best quality of arms and
equipments. The artillery on hand tasks the de
- pertinent for its means of storage. Three years
stock of material for ammunition iskept on hand
with an ample supply of clothing and quarter
master’s stores. The abundance of our means lor
war enables the government of the United States
to reduce the standing force to a lower degree
than any'other nation. However sudden the
exigency calling for an exhibition of military
power, it can be promptly met. With our edu
cation, habits and experience, the nation while in
the midst of peace, is prepared for war.
The report concludes hy assigning several cau
ses which contributed to the overthrow of the
rebellion, such as the steadfast adherence of the
President to the measure of emancipating the
slaves in the rebel States, whereby the rebels
were crippled and discouraged ; the resolute
purpose of Congress to maintain the Federal
Union at all hazards, manifested by its legislation:
patriotic measures adopted by the Governors of
Loyal Suites, nud the efficient aid they rendered
the war department in filling up the ranks of the
army and furnishing succor and relief to the
the sick and wounded, and the faith of the peo
ple in the nation’s success, as muni tested. by their
support of the government credit.
Acknowledgements.—Jlon. John L. Thomas,
the new member of Congress from this District,
will please accept our thanks for copies of the
report of the Sec. of War and of Lieut. General
Grant.
