Qis stock consists of books, animals, wagons, locomotives, whistles, fiddles, drums, tops, candies and a host of other articles too tedious to enu merate, all of which he will sell at rea sonable prices. He has also a beautiful assortment of. the more valuable presents, suitable fbrpassing between brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, lovers, &c.— Call early and,have a choice. Position of tue Rebels. —Professor La Mountain, the aeronaut of the army of the Potomac, made an ascension on Wed nesday afternoon, 'from Cloud’s Mills landing, four miles frond Washington, in the camp of the Second Rhode Island Regiment. He reports the rebel force at Fairfax Court Hons® as very light. Be tween Fairfax Court House and Vienna # 5 there is an increase of strength, one regi ment of cavalry having been stationed there since his last reconnoissaPce. All along the line, very considerable additions have been made to the scouts, cavalry, and infantry. K&, Wo must ask our readers once more to excuse the late issuing of our pa per. W® have again been crowded with job work which could not be, delayed.— With the new year we mean to turn a new leaf, and will thereafter be able to keep our paper up to time. Our present facilities for printing are too alow, and we may here hint that the show so long expected, and doubtless given up by many, WiR .be on Hand in the course of, a couple of.weeks, and By means of it we will be ena bled to keep pace with the times in Altoo na, which as every body knows, are pretty fast. The show may not be one of “ Hoe’s last fast,” but it ?rill be something almost as,“fast.” We expect to make ap im provement 'in the typographical appear ance of our paper on the first week of the new year, by dressing it up in a new suit of type. Winter Campaign in Kentucky.— We have at last the welcome tidings that Glen. Buell’s army, (which, on the direct Louisville and Nashville line, is not less than sixty thousand strong,) is moving forward to Green river. On Tuesday Generals Rosseau, Negley and Johnston’s brigades orossed to the southern bank of Green river, near Munfordaville. The remarkable quietude of this army for so long a period, renders its movement more significant. That a,general advance ia in progress, is further. indicated by the marching from Louisville, on Monday, of the 2nd, Slat, 24th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 21st arid 23rd Ohio regiments. Gen. M’Clel lan’s plan, the Cincinnati Commercial ■ays, it is veiy well understood to be that a simultaneous advance shall take place—. on the Mississippi, against Columbus, Ky.; in Gentral'Kentucky, upoß Bowling Green; from Romney, upon Winchester; from Hie Fotomao, into Eastern Virginia; from Fprtreae Monroe, upon Yorktown or Nor folk ; and that Sutler’s, Burnside’s and Sherman’s coast expiditions shall make demonstrations at the same time. If this ba the ease, movements at all important poihto may bo expected when one takes J the forward movement in Ken toohy is the signal' of a general advance. OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.; u. S. ABUT, near Falls Va., 1 December Bth, 1861. / } Massas. McCann & Dias:— Gentlemen— ln : my previous fetters to yon I informed you of j my ignorance as to the probability or time of ! our leaving this place of: encampment. That ignorance still exists, and: I am not able even to surmise anything in regard to it, other than j that it seems to me impossible for us to remain here much longer under the present arrange- I ment. These “muslin houses” are illy able to ' protect us from the “rude blasts of winter,” j and, as Uncle £am studies to promote the com- | fort as well as the happiness at the soldiers, I the natural inference would be that our tipie : ia short in this locality. Ho doubt we are only ! awaiting the maturity of Gen. McClellan’s plans, in order to further our advance into this State, the most deluded of all Ihe'Statea in the would-' be Southern Confederacy. It is indeed with I sorrow that I reflect upon the course pursued i by this State—of the, treasonable part she has \ played in the great drama of Nations. One of; the original “Thirteen” States which formed ! the greatest, the most liberal, free and eniight- | eaed government in the world, she has not only j stooped, but actually fallen from her eminence, and raised her now shrivelled arm against that government, and in advocacy and defence of what she sees proper to call a Confederate Union! And what has she gained thus far in behalf of her cause? What has been the re sult of her treason towards the Federal govern ment? Why, she has brought Up hordes of fanatics, like herself, from the more Southern sister States, who have overrun her soil, de stroyed her crops, impoverished her peace-loving citizens, and completely laid waste her entire , territory. From the justly styled Mother of Statesmen and Warriors," Virginia now most truly stands before the world as : the producer and harbinger of TRAITORS and TREASON! Alas! how are the inighty fallen! But, gentlemen, information from our camp, at this time is of little or no importance. It embraces the usual -routine, such as company drill, immediately after breakfast; battallion or regimental drill from 10 o'clock till noon, and battallion or brigade drill from 2 o’clock until evening, concluding with: dress parade. A few weeks ago the whole regiment adopted: the rifle inode of drilling, and now we daily practice skirmish drill in the morning—and regimental, and' sometimes brigade drill in the afternoon. In the brigade drill three and sometimes four regiments are engaged. ' The regiment is doing admirably, considering that it is but recently they have adopted it. As: sin evidence of their alacrity at learning; I frequently see members of other companies teaching some of bur boys, and you know ours is a skirmishing company. It is reported that so soon oa we all become pro ficient in the rifle drill, the ten companies of the line are to receive minnie muskets, and Compa- L and M, being on the right and on the left of the regiment, are to receive the- regular rifle. (We are at present using the minnie musket.) Rumor has it that the French Government has made Gen. McClellan a present of ten thousand Zouave uniforms, and be in tarn presented them tb the ten best regiments in his army. Capt. Crozier told me this evening that our regiment was to receive the Zouave uniform, consisting of pants, jackets, cap, .three pair of leggings and a pair of shoes. We are also to receive rifles.'ond be transformed : into a skirmishing regiment. These I believe are facta. Last week our company received an accession of nine recruits, one or two of whom arc fine looking fellows. On Thursday night last, or rather Friday morning about 1 o’clock, the or der came to prepare one day’s rations for the men, and accordingly the remainder of the mor ning was occupied in that manner. About 3 o’clock the reveille was beat, apd tbo whole regiment was awakened to prepare for a day’s march—each man to have his canteen filled with water, and one day’s rations; inJhis haver sack, Various were the conjectures as to our destination. Some said we: were going to Fair fax to attack the rebels; others tb Vienna,, and some even said we were going to' attack f Ma nassas with our regiment and the 4th Michi gan—we two going together. Well, just ns day was dawning, the two regiments marched forth in the direction of Fairfax, preceded by bur spy. About four miles on opr march we crossed the railroad, and found it completely torn up, the cross-ties all burned, and the rails heated so as to bend them completely double. This was done by resting, the ends of the rails on blocks and piles of stone, and building large fires in the centre, thereby beating the rails to such an extent that they gave way with their own weight. The idea, I think, is original, and beyond the forethought of our. Yankees. Along the road we saw evidences of the rebel pickets, and about five or six miles from nur camp we saw the remains of th'eir encampment. They i consisted of rude huts thrown together by rails and small timbers, and covered with brush-wood. We passed two or three places of this kind, cre ating the impression that large numbers of rebels had previously been encamped in the neighbor hood. We marched along the Fairfax road to within a mile and a half of the town, when we halted, with the determination of capturing a regiment of rebel cavalry who were in the habit of reoonnoitering along that road: We waited 1 and observed the utmost caution for about three .boars, but no cavalry come—and woo betide them if they bad, for we would most assuredly have killed a number of them and taken the rest prisoners into camp. a But we had to march | back again without our expected game, and 1 sorrowfully we did it, too. : Being the second j time our company was engaged in such an ex pedition, and the indications still greater for the success of the enterprise than oh the former occasion, we all (especially yonr humble cor respondent,) entertained strong anticipations of seeing and baying a boat with the euemy. But alas 1 we were disappointed, and I really believe I we will be sent borne yet without seeing a rebel soldier. One of our men told me we were within half a mile of the. rebel camp, but I am inclined to doubt it. However, we marched back, arri ving at camp shortly after dark, as tired a set of men ns ever you saw. For the information of those whd have friends in our regiment! I would say that anything sent to them, by express or otherwise, need only be directed in the usaul way; viz: “(Name of the Company,) Col. Black’s regiment P. V., . Washington City, D. C." It would b«. advisa- - ble, however, to pre-pay postage or flight, as I : our men have nearly all sent their money home : —having no use for it here ip the army. ■ -.. , Tours Respectfully, BLAIN. L, Report of the Secretary of War. War Department, Pm. li 1861. Sir: —l have tbs honor to submit the Annual Report of this Department: * \ * • i * ♦ * The following Statement presents the entire estimated strength of the Army, both rokinteers and regulars: ! States. 3 months. California Conuecticot Delaware,*.. Indiana, lowa Kentucky. Maine Mary land.. Maatfcaclturetts Michigan Minnesota Missouri. New Hampshire. New .ier*ey Now York Ohio- Pennsylvania 4. Rhode 151and.... ,..4. Vermont-...,. Vir>:iaia..„. Wisconsin * Kaunas .... Colorado... Nebraska.. Nevada New Mexico District of Columbia. Estimated strength of the Regular Army, including the new en listments under Act of Congress of July 29, 1601 ~...r. Total. The several arms of the service are estimated as follows: Volunteers. Regulars. Aggregate. i 557.208 11.175 5C8.383 1 54.654 4.744 59.398 20,380 4,308 24.688 8,395 8,395 ’ 107 Infantry. Cavalry.. -Artillery Rifles and Sbarp-Shootois, Engineers Total*. The appropriations asked far the service of the next fiscal year are computed for a force of 500.000 men. -They have been reduced to the lowest possible umhunt consistent with the pub lic interests, and are based upon a strictly eco comical administration of the various branches of this Department. An item of very heavy expense is the large mounted force which has been organized, equipped, and .ntjule available since the called session of Congress, and which was not compu ted for in the estimate While an increase of cavalry was undoubtedly nebessary, it has reached a numerical strength more than ade quate to the wftnth of the service. As it ‘can only be maintained at a great cost measures will be taken for its gradual reduction. In organizing ofir great army, I was effec tively aided by the loyal 'Governors of the dif ferent States, and I cheerfully acknowledge the prompt patriotism with which they responded to the call of this Department. Congress, during its extra session, author ized the army to be increased by the accept ance of the volunteer force of 600,000 men, and made an appropriation of 5500.000.000 for its support. A call for troops was immediately made; but so numerous were the offers that it was found difficult to discriminate in the choice, where the patriotism of the people demanded that there should be no restriction upon enlist ments. Every portion of the loyal States de sired to swell the army, and every community was anxious that it should be represented in a cause that' appealed to the noblest impulses of our people. So thoroughly Aroused was the national heart, i that I have no doubt this force would have been swollen to a million, had the Department Dot felt compelled to restrict it, in the absence of authority front the Representatives of the peo ple to increase the limited number. It will be for Congress to decide whether the army shall bo furlher augmented, with a view to a more speedy termination of the war, or whether it* shall be confined to the strength already fixed by law. In the latter case, with the object of reducing the volunteer force to 500. WO, I pro pose, with the Consent of Congress to consoli date such of the regiments as may from time time fall below the regulation standard. The adoption of thial mensure will decrease the num ber of officers, and proportionally diminish the expenses of the’ army. It is said of Napoleon by Jomini that, in the campaign of 1915. that great general on the Ist of April bad a regular army of 200.000 men On the Ist of June he had increased this f>rcc to 114,000. The like proportion, adds Jomini, “had he thought to inaugurate a vast system of defence, would have raised it to 700,000 men by the first of September.” At the commence ment of this rebellion, inaugurated by the at tack on Fort Sumpter, the entire military fopte at the disposal pf this Government was 16,000 regulars, principally employed in the West to hold in check marauding Indians. In April 75,000 volunteers were called upon to enlist for three months’ service, and responded with such alacrity that 77.875 were immediately ob tained. Under the authority of the act of Con gresa of July 22. 1861, the States were asked to furnish 5'J0.000 volunteers to serve for three years, or during the war: and by the act ap proved the 29th of the same month, the add! tion of 25.000 mgn to the regular army of the United States was authorized. The result is. that we havenoiw an army of upwards of 600,- COO men. If we add jo this the number of dis charged three-months volunteers, the aggregate force furnished to the Government since April last exceeds 70(),b00 men. We have hero an evidence of the wouderfulj strength of our Institutions. Without conscrip- I tiona, levies, drafts, or other extraordinary ex- j pedients. we hate raised a great r force than that which, gathered by Nayoleon with the aid of all these npplijincee,, was considered an evi dence of his wonderful genius and energy, and of the military spirit of the French nation Here every man hag an interest in the Govern ment, and rushed to its defence whtn dangers beset it. By reference to the recoils of the Revolution it will be seen that Massachusetts, with a popu lation of 350,000, bad at one time 56,000 troops in the field, or ;over one-sixth of her entire people—a force ; greater exceeding the whole number of troops furnished by all the Southern States during that war. Should the present loyal States furnish troops in like proportion, which would undoubtedly be the case should any emergency demand it, the Government could promptly put into the field an army of over three millions. As stated id my last report, at the commence ment of this rebellion- the Government found itself deficient in arms and munitions of war, through the bad faith of those entrusted with their control during the preceding administra tion. The armory at Harper’s Ferry having been destroyed to; prevent its possession and nse by thie rebels, the Government was compelled torely npon the single armory at Springfield, and upon private establishments, for a supply of arms. Every effort has been made to in crease the capacity of that armory, the greatest product of which,; prior to these troubles, had never exceeded 800 muskets per month. In charge of an energetic and able ordnance offi cer, the force being doubled, and operations vigorously prosecuted day and night,.there were made at this establishment, during' the past month of October; a total of 6,900 muskets; and it is confidently expected that 10,000 will be manufactured during the present month.— VOLUNTEERS j For the war 2,230 775 4,941 4,666 96$ 3,435 761 9,3*16 779 3.068 10,188 10,236 19,199 1,285 7M) 779 792 2,500 ' 1,000 1.000 • 1,000 2 823 718.012 . 640,637 77,876 20.334 [ 660.971 .040,647 20,534 060,971 On * recent visit, witk a view to enlarge the ca pacity of the armoiy, T-directcd the of a large quantity of machinery already finished, which, when pat in operation, wall enable this establishment to produce, during the next year, 200,000 stand of the justly celebrated Spring field rifles. I respectfully suggest 1 the recom endatiou of a liberal appropriation by Congress for the purpose of yet further increasing the capacity of this armory, believing ! that it can be made sufficient to supply all the muskets and rifles which the Government may hereafter need in any contingency. Located in a health ful country, in the midst of an industrious and ingenious people, where competent workmen can always be obtained without difficulty.'and sufficiently near to all the materials needed in the manufacture of arms, it is at the same time accessible to every part of the country by water and railway communication. After having made contracts for arms with the private establishments in this country, it was deemed necessary by the President, to in sure a speedy and ample supply, to send h spe cial agent to!Europe with funds to the amount of two millions of dollars to purchase more. I am gratified to state that be has made arrange ments fur a large number of arms, part of which have already been delivered. The remainder will be shipped by successive steamers until all shall have eeeu received. Combinations among manufacturers, impor ters and agents for the sale of arms, have, in many cases, caused an undue increase in prices. To prevent advantage being thus taken of the necessities of the Government, collectors of cus toms have beeu directed to deliver to the agents of the United States all arms and munitions that may be imported.into this country. . The demand for arms has called into exist ence numerous Istablisliments for their manu facture throughout the loyal porteon of the country, and it has been the policy of this De partment to encourage the development of the capita), enterprise, and skill of our people in this direction. The Government should never have less thnu a million of muskets in its arse nals, with a corresponding proportion of arms and equipments for artillery and cavalry.— Otherwise, it may, i.t a moat criticrl moment, find itself deficient in guns while having an abundance of men. I recommend that application be mado to Cqngress for authority to establish a national foundry for the manufacture of heavy artillery at such a point ns may afford the greatest facil ities for,the purpose. While a sufficient num ber of cannons, perhaps, could be procured from private manufactories, the possession of a national establishment would be useful to the country, and prevent imposition in prices-by the accurate knowledge that would be acquired of the real value of this Character In my last report I called .attention to the fact that legislation was necessary for the reor ganization, upon a uniform basis of the militia of the country. S:me general, plan should be provided by Congress in aid of the States, hy whicb our militia can be organized, armed, and disciplined, and made effective at any moment for immediate service. If thoroughly trained in time of peace, when occasion demands, it may be converted into a vast army, confident its discipline, and unconquerable in its patriot ism. In the absence of any general system of organization, upwards of 790,000 men have al ready been brought into the field ; and, in view of the alacrity and enthusiasm that have been displayed, I do not hesitate to express the be lief that no combination of events can arise in which,this country will not be able not only to protect itself, but contrary to its policy, which is peace with all the world, to enter upon ag gressive opperntiooa against a ( ny power that may intermeddle with our domestic affairs. A committee should be appointed by Congress, with authority to sit during the recess, to de vise and report a plan for the general organiza tion of the militia of the United States. It is of great importance that imediate atten tion should be given to the condition of our fortifications upon the seaboard and the lakes, and upon oar exposed frontiers They should at once be placed in perfect condition for suc cessful defence. Aggressions are seldom made jjtpon a nation ever ready to defend its honor to repel insults ; and we should show to the world, that while engaged in quelling dis turbances at home we are able to protect our selves against attacks from abroad 1 recommend that the system of promotion winch prevails in the regular service he applied ! to the volunteer forces iu the respective' States; I restricting, however, the promotions to men ac- ! tually in the field. At present, each Governor i selects and appoints tho officers for the troop? ■ furnished by his State, and complaint 1 is not unfrequently made, that when vacancies occur iu the field, men of inferior qmilific.uions are placed in command over those iu the ranks who are their superiors in military experience and capacity. The advancement oPmerit should be the leading principal in all promotions, ami the volunteer soldier should be given to understand j that preferment will be the sure reward of in- ! telligenco. fidelity, and distinguished service. j The course above recommended has been i pursued by this Department, and it is my in- j tention, so far as is in my power, to continue a 1 system which cannot fail to have a most benefi- \ cial effect upon the entire service. j By existing laws and regulations, an officer 1 of the regular army* ranks an officer of volun-j feera of the same grade, notwithstanding the j commission of the latter may be of antecedent : date. In my judgment, this practice lias a ten-1 deucy to repress the ardor and to limit the op- j portunity for distinction of volunteer officers, j •ml a change should be made by which senior!- i ty of commission should confer the right of i command. ! I submit for reflection the question, whether J the distinction between regulars and volunteers j which now exists, should be permitted to con i tinue? The efficiency of the army it appears j to me, might be greatly increased by a conso | lidation of the two during the continuance of j the war, which combining both forces, would constitute them one grand army of the Union. Recruiting for the regular army has uot been attended with that success which was anticipa ted, although a large number of men have en tered this branch of the- service. While It is admitted that soldiers in the regular army, un dpr of officers of military education and experience, are generally better cared for than those in the volunteer service, it is cer tain that the popular preference is largely giv en to the latter. Young men evidently prefer to enter a corps officered by their friends and acquaintances, and, besides the bounty granted to volunteers in most of the States, inducements are often directly offered to them .by those whose commissions depend upon their success in obtaining recruits. In addition, the volun teer is allowed to draw his full pay of §l3 per month, while bylaw $2 per month arc deducted from the pay of the regular, to be returned to him at the end of his term of service.' In my judgment this law should be repealed, and the regular soldier be’allowed to receive his full pay when duo. Ho should also receive either a reasonable bounty upon enlisting, or an ad vance of $2O of the $lOO which a law of the last session of Congress grants td regulars and volunteers on the expiration their periods of service. This would doubtless stimulate en listments, as it would enable the soldier to make some provision for those dependent on him for eupport until he receives his pay. i * * * * » * * Corporations, like individuals, are liable to be governed by selfish motives in the absence of competition. An instance of this kind oc curred m the management of the railroads be tween Baltimore and New Tork. The sum of SO was charged upon that route for the trana ! porfntion of each soldier from New York to /Baltimore. As this rate seemed extravagant to the Department, when considered in connection with the great increase o(L4rade upon these i roads made neecssary'by the wants of the Qov j eminent, inquiry was made concerning the ex- I pcdicncy of nsing the roads from New York to Baltimore via Harrisburg. The result was an S arangement by which troops Were brought by i the last named route at $i each ; and, as a con ; J : sequence, this rate was ot once necessarily a i dopted by all th& railroads in the loyal States, j i making « saving to the Government of 33 J per cent, in all its transportation of soldiers, and i ! at the: same time giving to the railroads, through j | increased business, a liberal compensation. Should the navigation of the Potomac river be interrupted by blockade, or the severities of winter, it would become absolutely necessary for the proper supply of the troops iu the Dis trict of Columbia and vicinity, and of the in habitants of this city,, to provide additional railroad connection, between Washington and Baltimore. A responsible company, with a charter from the State of Maryland,; have pro posed to do this upon condition that the Gov ernment will endorse their bonds; they binding themselves to set aside annually a sufficient sum for their redemption at maturity, and thus eventually release the Government from any li ability whatever; and to charge for transporta tion, rates in no case to exceed four bents a,ton per mile for freight, and three cents per mile for passengers. During the continuance of the war, however, their charge for passengers is not-to exceed two cents per mile. The charge for* the transportation of passengers between the two cities is at present 3J cents per mile, and for freight the rates per ton will average from five to eight cents per mile. " The large saving to the Government in cost of transporta tion would amply compensate for all liability, and give to the citizens of. all the loyal Stales greatly-improved'facilities for reaching the Na tional Capital, and at much loss rates than they are now compelled to pay. To the citizens of the District it would cheapen the cost of sup plies, and prove of immense value iu every res pect. I recommend that a railway be constructed through this city from the navy yard,’ by, the Capitol, Geoigetown forming connections with the existing railroad'depots, and using the Aqueduct bridge for the purpose of crossing the river at Georgetown. Dy a junction of this proposed railway with the Orange and Alexan dria Railroad not only wonld the communica tion with our troops in Virginia be greatly im proved. but an easy access be obtained to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near Harpers* Ferry, by means of the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad. The importance ns affording facil ities for moving troops and supplies tn time of war may be ad led the future benefits it would confer upon the District of-Columbia. l*lie out lay required would be saved in a few mohths by enabling tho Government to dispense with the expensive ferry at Georgetown, and by greatly decreasing the Costly wagon transportation of the army through this city. * ■ * * * » Extraordinary labor, energy, and talertt have been required of the various bureaus of this Department to provide for the wants of pur im mense army. While errors may have been com - mitted by- subordinates, and while extravagant prices have undoubtedly in some cases, controlled by haste And the pressure of rapid events, been paid for supplies, it is with great gratifications that 1 refer to the economical administration of affairs displayed in the various branches of the service. Our forces had not only to be armed, clothed, and fed, but bad to be suddenly pro vided with means of transportation to an extent heretofore unparalleled. While I believe that there is no army.in the world better provided for in every respect than our regulars and vol unteers, I candidly think that no force so large and so well equipped was ever put in the field in so short a space of time at so small an ex pense. . . While it is my intention to preserve Hid strict est economy and accountability, I think the last dollar should be expended and thclast man should be armed to bring this unholy rebellion to a Speedy and-permanent close. I The geographical position of the metropolis of the nation, menaced by the rebels, find re quired to be defended hy thousands of our troops, induces me to suggest for consideration the propriety and expediency of a reconstruc t\cn. of the boundaries of the Slates of Delaware Maryland, and Virginia.
