The appropriations asked for the service of j
the next fiscal year are computed for a force
of 500,000 men. They have been reduced to j
the lowest possible amount consistent witli
tli ■ public interests, and are based upon a j
strictly economical rfdiiiiriistratinn of the
various branches of this department. j
In organizing our great army. I was effec ,
tivc!v aided by the loyal Governors of the
different States, and I cheerfully acknowledge j
the prompt patriotism with which they re j
spooled to the call of this Department.
C tigress, during its extra session, author- •
ixed the nrntv to he increased by the acct-p
--, inee of a volunteer force of 500.000 men, j
and made an appropriation of five hundred ;
millions''iff d dlars for its support. A call j
I T the troops was immediately uiade; but so
nam Tons were the offers that it was fiutid
difficult to discriminate in tin* choice, where
the patriotism of the people demanded that
th'-re should be no restriction upon enlist j
meets. Every portion of the loyal States ,
; sin 1 to swell the army, and every common
ity was anxious that it should be represented j
in a cause that appealed te the noblest im
pulses of our people.
8o thoroughly aroused was the national;
heart, that 1 have no doubt this force would j
have been swollen to a million, had not the ]
Department felt compelled to restrict it, in
the alsenee of authority from the Represen
tatives i i the people to increase tlie limited
number. It will be for Congress to decide
whether the army shall be further augmen
ted. with a view to a more speedy termina- j
tin of the war, or whether it shall be C'lifin ;
•I to the strength already fixed by law. In j
the latter case, with the object of reducing J
th n volunteer force to 500,0DD, I propose, with
the consent of Congress, to consolidate such i
f the regiments as may from time to time
-•ill below the regulation standard. The ,
adoption of this measure will decrease the ;
number of officers, and pmportionably dimin- j
-h the expenses of the army.
1 he conspiracy against the Government ex- •
' ' e-d over an area of 733,144 square miles, j
1 messing a coast line of 3,523 miles, and a ;
-'• re line of 25,414 miles, with an interior '
h undary line of 7,031 miles in length. This
c nspiracy stripped us ofarros and munitions,
and scattered our navy to the most distant
garters of the globe. The effort to restore
L nion, which the Government entered on
:r < April last, was the most gigantic endeav
or in the history of civil war. The interval
seven months has been spent in prepara
tion.
The history of this rebellion, in common
with all others, for obvious causes, records
the first successes in favor of the insurgents.
The disaster of Bull Run was but the nat
L "d cons quence of the premature advance of
uv brave but undisciplined troops, which the
of the country demanded. The
betrayal also of our movements by traitors in
midst enabled the rebels to choose and en
" neb their position, and by a reinforcement
!n great strength, at the moment of victory,
j- match it from our grasp. This reverse,
h never, gave no discouragement to our gal
arjt people; they have crowded into our
rinks, and although large numbers have been
necessarily rejected, a mighty army in invin
cible array stands eager to precipitate itself
a poa tiie foe. The check that we have re-
Ceiv ed upon the Potomac has, therefore, but
Spotted the campaign for a few months.
, 16 other successes of the rebels, though
pearly won, were mere affairs, with no im
"rtant or permanent advantages. The pos
"fcsion of Western Virginia, and the occupa
loc of IlatteraH and Beaufort have nobly re
•-emed our transient reverses.
I be geographical position of the metropolis
' the nation, menaced by the rebels, and
to be defended by thousands of our
r ° u ps, induces me suggest for consider*!-
ur) the propriety and expediency of a recon
duction of the boundaries of the States of
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Wisdom
and true statesmanship would dictate that the
seat of the National Government, for aft time
I to come, should be placed beyond reasonable
danger of seizure by enemies within, as well
as from capture by foes without. By agree
ment between the States named, such as was
effected, for similar purposes, by Michigan
and Übio, and by Missouri and lowa, their
boundaries could be so changed as to render
the capital more remote than at present from
the influence of State Governments which have
arrayed themselves in rebellion against the
Federal authority. To this end, the limits of
> irginia might be so altered as to make her
boundaries consist of the Blue Ridge on the
east, and Pennsylvania on the north, leaving
those on the south and west as at present.
By this arrangement, two counties of Mnrv
land (Alleghany and Washington) would be
transferred to the jurisdiction of Virginia.
All that portion of Virginia which lies between
the Blue Ridge and Chesapeake bay could
then be added to Maryland, while that por
tion of the peninsula between the waters of the
Chesapeake and the Atlantic, now jointly held
by Maryland and \ irginia, could he incorpo
rated into the State of Delaware. A refer
ence to the map will show that these are*
great natural boundaries, which, for all time
to come, w.mid serve to mark the limits of
these States.
lo make the protection of the capital com
plete, in consideration of the large accession
of territory which Maryland would receive
under the arrangement proposed, it would be
necessary that that State shuuld consent so to
modify >er Constitution as to limit the basis
of her representation to her white popula
tion.
In this connection, it would be the part of
wisdom to reannex to the District of Colum
bia that portion of its original limits which
by act of Congress was retroceded to the
State of Virginia.
It is already a grave question, what shall
be done with those slaves who are abandoned
by their owners on the advance of our troops
into Southern territory, as at Beaufort district
in South Carolina? The number left within
our control at that point is very considera
ble, and similar cases will probably occur.—
What shall be done with them? Can we af
ford to send them forward to their masters,
to be by tbem armed against us. or used in
producing supplies to sustain the rebellion ?
Their labor may be useful to us. Withheld
from tlie enemy it lessens his military resour
ee, and withholding them has no tendency
to induce the horrors of insurrection even in
the rebel communities. They constitute a
military resource, and being such, that they
should not be turned over to the enemy is
too plain to discuss. Why deprive him of
supplies by a blockade, and' voluntarily give
bim men to produce supplies? The disposi
tion to be made of the slaves of rebels after
the close of the war can be safely left to tho
wisdom and patriotism of Congress. The
representatives of the people will unquestion
ably secure to the loyal slaveholders every
right to which they are entitled under the
Constitution of the country.
WAR NEWS.
Parson Brownlow has turned up in East
Tennessee engaged in operations that prove
him to he a veritable " Fighting Parson."
According to accounts coming through
Rebel sources, Brown low, with three thou
>and Unionists under his command enga
ged a Confederate force at Morristown,
East Tennessee, on the Ist of December.
The Unionists were completely victorious,
the Confederates admitting that their de
feat and rout was total. Morristown is on
the line of the East Tennessee and Virgin
ia Railroad, about twenty miles east of
Knoxville; and directly upon the road to
the Cumberland Gap. Millions of heart*
will be stirred by this brave deed of Par
son Brownlow and his brive mountaineers.
An effort upon the part of the Federal
forces to push through to his aid seems to
be something more than a patriotic duty.
Two Tennessee Unionists had been hung
for bridge burning.
A telegraph dispatch dated Savannah,
December 7th, states that Gen. Butler's
expedition arrived on that day at Port
Royal.
Nothing is said about Parson Brownlow's
victory in East Tennessee or of the Fort
Pickens affair.
A despatch from Charleston, dated on •
the 10th. states that the Southern coast is
one sheet of flame and smoke caused by the
" patriotic planters burning their cotton."
The Memphis papers are keeping up
their spirits by reporting fabulous Confed
erate victories in Missouri. As our intor
mation from Missouri is more direct and
recent than any that can be had via Mem
phis, these stories only excite ridicule.
Mr. Faulkner has been released from
Fort Warren on a parole to proceed imuie
diately South and procure the release of
Mr. Ely, member of Congress. If not suc
cessful, he returns to Fort Warren within
thirty days.
The Norfolk Day Book publishes Gov
ernor Letcher's Message to the Legislature.
He urges active operations, and thinks the
" banks of the Susquehanna, and not the
" banks of the Potomac, the place where
" the battle should be fought." The non
possession of Fortress Monroe by the " Con
federate States of America" also deeply af
fects the Governor. We do not learn,
however, that the Governor proposes any
plan by which the campaign is to be moved
into Maryland or the Fortress taken. The
steamship Illinois left Old Point on Thurs
day with the Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Reg
iment for Port Royal, and the Cosmopoli
tan was to follow next day with another
regiment.
Major General Halleck has issued an
important order to bis commanding officers
in Missouri, directing them to arrest and
hold in confinement every one fount 1 in arms
against the Government, or those who, in
any way, give aid to the Rebels; and or
dering that all persons found within the
lines of the army, in disguise as loyal citi
zens, and giving information to the enemy,
and all those taken from the ranks of the
Rebels in actual service, shall not be treat
ed as prisoners of war, but as spies, and
shall be shot. He further orders that the
I Provost Marshals of St. Louis shall take
in charge the members of Union families
who are crowding into that city—having
been plundered and driven from their
homes by the rebels, and quarter them up
on avowed Secessionists, charging the ex
pense of their board to them, on the ground
that, although they have not themselves
plundered and driven forth these unfortu
nate people, they are giving aid and coin
fort to those who have done so.
| The expulsion of John C. Breckinridge
from the I nited States Senate gives reat
satisfaction to the loyal citizens of Ken
tucky. Among the aspirants for his seat
are James Guthrie, Nat. Wolfe, and Gar
rett Davis.
Commodore Wilkes on Wednesday was
honored with a public* reception at the City
Hall, New The Mayor made a com
plimentary speech, ami about fifteen hun
dred persons shook his hand. The Com
modore has received a complimentary letter
from Secretary Welles.
A member of the Arkansas Legislature,
accompanied with some thirty or forty com
panions, has escaped from that State and
joined the I nion forces under Colonel
Phelps. A strong feeling of loyalty still
exists in the northern portion of Arkansas,
and if a I nion army enters into the State
many of its citizens would doubtless gladly
rally around its standard.
In Tennessee the process of drafting sol
diers was commenced in the last week of
November. Many fled to avoid this con
! scription, same of them seeking refuge
among the loyal men of the eastern portion
i of the State.
'1 here are already one hundred and sixty
j four pieces of cannon at, Cairo, none of
which are less than 32 pounders, and over
one hundred tons of ammunition have ar
rived, and more is still to arrive Prom
the great preparations which are being
made for the expedition down the Missis
| sippi, we can scarcely consider its success
I doubtful.
The federal gun-boats belonging to the
Potomac flotilla on Monday shelled several
rebel batteries, destroying dwellings and a
large amount of rebel stores.
Despatches from Missouri report (leu.
I 'rice still south of the Osage river with
his Rebel troops, and was losing more men
by desertion than he has gained by his fa
mous proclamation. Despatches from J
Virginia report that Price is to be super
seded by Major General lleath, of Virgin |
ia. lien. Pope has been assigned to the
command of the Federal troops between
tiic Missouri and Osage rivers.
Letters received at Louisville, Ky .from
Somerset, in that State, announce that the
Federal forces under Gen. Sehuepf have ;
been compelled to withdraw from this side
of Somerset, and that the Rebels, ten
thousand strong, have crossed the Cumber
land river. It seems more probable that 1
Gen. S lxepf has retired for the purpose of
catching Zollicoffer in a trap.
A considerable force of rebels with a bat
tery of six field pieces on Saturday made
their appearance on the Virginia shore of
the 1 pper Potomac and commenced firing
upon the buildings on ihe Maryland shore
and at the dam of the canal. There was only
one company of the Thirteenth Massachu
setts Regiment ort this side without artil
lory, and the Rebels, emboldened by the
little resistance tliey met with, advanced to
the shore of the river. In the meantime
another company of the Thirteenth Massa
chusetts Regiment, armed with Kntield
rifles, were brought up. and when tlie Reb
els resumed tire on Snr.day tir>mmg the
riflemen opened on them. The fire was
s > hot that the Rebel artillerists were forced
to abandon their guns, leaving thctu on the
river bank until night, when they return, d
and took them off, our lbn-es being Too
jtnall to permit them to cross the river and
capture the pieces.
The proceedings of Congress on Monday
were not of special interest. A number of
bills and resolutions were introduced in
both Houses, and either referred or post
poned for the future action.
