The official report just made •to Con gress by the Secretary of War of the number of men enlisted in our armies during the war is the first accurate in formation we have had upon this inter -1 esting point. It affords a wonderful illustration not only of theinexhaustible resources of the country, but also of the determined energy with which the war was waged. More than twenty-six hundred thousand men were actually raised and put into the field by; the States of the North. One of the most remarkable features of this vast enlist-. ment is in the fact that, with three exceptions, the calls for troops were each more than filled, and in some cases the excess of men over the call was very large. There were furnished under the tall of April 15, 1861, for 75.000 three months' militia, 98,235 men. Under the calls of May 3 and July 22 and 2.5, 1861, for 500,004 men, 2,715 six months' men, 9,056 one year men, 30,952 two years' men, all from New York, and 657,868 three years' men. Under the call of July 2, 1862, for 300,000 men, there were furnished 419,627 three years' men, Under the call of August 4, 1862, for 300;000 nine months' militia, there were furnished 86,360 men. Under the Presi dent's proclamation of June 15, 1863, for militia for six months, 16,361 men. Under the calls of Oct.. 17, 1863, and Feb. 1, 1864, for 300,000 men, which in cludes men raised by draft in 1863, there were furnished 374,807 three years' men. Under the call of March 14, 1864, for 200,000 men, there were furnished 284,021 three years' men. One hundred days' militia mustered into service between April 23 and July 18, 1864, 83,612 men. Under call of July 18, 1864, for 500,000 men, there were furnished 234,798 three years' men i 728 four years' men; total under that call, 250,818, the re mainder being absorbed by former credits. Under the call of December 19, 1864 , for 300,000 men, there were furnished 151,105 one year's men, 5,076 two years' men, 48,075 three years' men, and 312 four years' men; total tinder that call, 204,568 men. The grand total is 2,653,062. It will be difficult for the old countries of Europe to reilize these facts, even with the official filaii es before them. And yet itlis very desirable that they should be thoroughly understood. Eng land and France may fail to appreciate our naval strength: They may count up their iron-Clad fleets, and fancy that they are Yet, in their combined force, mistress of the seas. But the folly of a - war with the United States ought to be sufficiently evident, when regarded in the light of our ability to count our - armies, not by thousands but by mil lions, Allowing to the Southern armies one million of men, we have an array of three and a half million citizen-soldiers, . and what the comatry has done the country can do. • The distribution of the great armies of the Union amongst the several States presents some interesting features. Two States, Pennsylyania W and New York, fdrnished each more than 450,000 men, and Ohio . exceeded 300,000. Illinois farniShed more than 250,000, Indiana neFiy 200,000. Little Massachusetts sent her 150,000 men, and - Missouri , over 100,000 men. Here were Seven States each raising huge armies within their own borders amounting in the aggre gate to nearly two million men. We claim for Pennsylvania the first place 'in these grandresults, because, although the official . report assigns to her the second place, crediting her with only 366,000 men, there were 90,000 men raised in the State for the emergencies of the two rebel invasions, and .28,000 men enlisted from Pennsylvania in regiments from other States, making our grand total about 480,000 men. These mighty armies have all melted away. Many thousands of their brave soldiers sleep in honorable graves, and the great masses of them have merged again into the peaceful pursuits of in dustry. But a military education has been imparted to the whole people, and if another cloud of war should arise in any quarter of our national horizon, these armies would spring up full grown and full-armed, and in their hands our national safety will be forever secured. .LEAGUE ISLAND. The Delaware river has felt the se verity of the cold, and although naviga tion is kept partly open by steamers, it is full of masses of ice. During all this time the great fleet of iron-clad vessels belonging to the Federal Government lies safely moored at League Island, entirely protected from the floating acres of ice. The site was selected by the Secretary of the Navy when the war ended, because of its security in winter, and because the iron was less liable to corrosion in fresh water than in salt. All ourother ocean naval stations are on salt water. Secretary Welles has neglected no opportunity of urging that the Govern ment should accept the offer of League Island which has been made by the city of Philadelphia. He has, over and over again, inquired concerning all the sites recommended for a station for the build ing and repairing of iron-clad vessels, and in every annual report he has recommended League Island as alto gether the best. As Congress, through the malign influence and sectional jeal ousy of the New York and New England members and lobbyists, refused to adopt his views, and as they provided no other place for the safe-keeping of the iron clads, he was compelled to take the responsibility of ordering them to be laid up at League Island. But this can only be a temporary expedient. A navy yard, with docks and every convenience for building and repairing, is absolutely necessary, and Congress ought not to neglect to authorize it any longer. Judge Kelley has again introduced the subject in Congress, and it has been referred again to the Naval Committee. We trust these gentlemen will act upon it favorably and promptly. The sale of existing Navy Yard here would pro bably bring a sum sufficient to construct the necessary wharves and workshops, and in the end it would prove an econo mical arrangement, for it would enable us to save a great and costly fleet, which will prove invaluable in case of a war with a foreign power. THE COMMERCIAL METROPOLIS. We find the following paragraph float ing around: "ds an illustration of the advantages of holding office in the New York custom house, it may be stated that it has seldom if ever occurred that,while the nominal salary of the collector is about $7,000 per annum,that any one who has held it has cleared less than $50,000 to $lOO,OOO per annum. There is not a pace in the custom-house, even down to that of the lowest clerk, that cannot be made lucrative to the holder, if he is so minded. Deputy collectors, whose salary is $2,500, often make $5,000, $6,000, and even $lO,OOO in their othce, and clerks, who nominally obtain $l,OOO per annum, realize five times the sum," We do not believe that there is an of ficer or employe of the Philadelphia Custom House who receives a dollar in addition to his salary or his legally fixed commissions; and this Lict, in a large measure, explains the supremacy of the "metropolis"'in commercial mat ters. "Cannot support a line of steam ers," "Have to depend on N,w York for your imports," "Deserted wharves," "Lack of enterprise," &c.,&c., are among the con- taut twits and insults thrown at Philadelphia. These slurs are about as well deserved as that bestowed by the dealer who undersold his neighbor, and left him in the back ground, and who, in a moment of weakness, confessed that he stole his brushes ready made. Clerks and deputy collectors in custom houses do not double, trebleand quadruple their salaries without rendering anequivalent for - what they receive, and this extra compensation is received from merehants whose interest it is to defraud the gov ernment. It is notorious that the facilitieS for fraud are greater in the New York Custom House than in any department of the revenue in the country. False invoices and underweigbed and undermeasared cargoes are the rule and not the excep tion in New York; while it was not long since that a nice little arrangement was brought to light in Gotham, by which a .permit clerk received a snug yearly in comes by noting for the appraiser's stores such packages of invoices as would best serve the purposes of the importers, and most effectually swindle the GOvern ment. It is utterly impossible for honest men to cope successfully with rogues .in such operations as these.! The importer who obtains his goods through the Philadelphia Custom House, and who pays Ids just dues to the Govern ment fees no clerks or deputy collectors; but he finds himself undersold fn the market by the New York sharper', who gets his silits , through the Custom House at worsted rates, -and who pays cotton duties upon his woolens. It is no won- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, TT ESDAY, JANUARY 9, /866. der, then, that our harbor lacks a forestl of masts, or that we do not support lines of steamers; our forests 6f masts lie along . the canals and railroads of New Jersey, whence gbods that have experienced the easy virtue of the New YorksCustoM officials come to our shores, and our briskest wharves are those where mer chandise that comes from Europe by way of New York is landed. New York slurs at Philadelphia slowness and lack of enterprise are about as proper and as just as the airs assumedby the bejeweled swindler who displays his flash finery and scoffs at the honest man who pays for the simple apparel which he wears. Philadelphia cannot expect to cope with her big sister on the Hudson, when the Customs authorities of the latter make such convenient arrangements as will enable them to fill their own pockets while giving New York merchants a chance to supply the Philadelphia mar ket at easier rates than the same goods could be landed direct upon our own wharves. ABANDONED LANDS IN THE SOUTH. In answer to a resolution of inquiry of the House, of Representatives, Major General Howard furnishes some informa tion in reference to the occupancy of abandoned Southern plantations by freedmen. He states that a number of pieces of property condemned under the act of July 17, 1861, are occupied by freedmen under the supervision of the Freedmen's Bureau, and that no property thus held has been restored to its Cornier owners. Many abandoned plantations occupied by freedmen without authority from the Bureau have been restored to their former owners, care being taken that the freedmen should not suffer from such action. The General adds:—"No property. vested in the United States under the confiscation of enemies' pro perty has been taken from the United States and restored to conquered ene mies. Evidence that the property has not been libeled under the act of July 17, 1564, or if libeled, that the proceedings against it have been dismissed by the nited States Courts, is always required before property in the hands of the Bu reau is restored to former owners. It is proper, however, to state, that the amount of property held as enemies' property, and the amount actually alloted to freedmen ai homesteads is a very small pioiortion of the entire amount original y in the hands of this Bureau." A large amount of property, not for mally confiscated, has been returned to persons who have been pardoned, in ac col dance with instructions received last August, these instructions making the tenure under which the Bureau formerly held die property so insecure as to na.the it valueless for the purpises of the De ' artment. It will thus be seen that the question involved in the disposition of Southern lands is in great measure settling itself. Lands already confiscated do not revert to the former owners, but abandoned property is restored when the owner is pardoned by the President.. We believe the entire question will be settled with out a tithe of the trouble which has here tofore been anticipated by nervous poli ticians and excitable patriots. The intense cold kept many opera-goers at hcme last evening. But there was, never theless, a good attendance, and Martha was very finely performed. Miss Kellogg, Miss Phillips (whose re-appearance was warmly welcomed), Signor Irfre and Signor Anto nucci acquitted themselves very well, and the orchestra and chorus, both strongly re enforced, were unusually fine. The weather having moderated, a large attendance may be looked for this evening, when 11 Trot'atore is to be played. The cast is a very strong one, including the names of Mme. Zuechi, Mme. Bine de Rossi (a new contralto), Signor Mazzoleni and Signor Bellini. To• morrow afternoon the German com pany will play La Dame Blanche, witu Mme Rotter, Habelmann and ileermaus in the principal 'arts. In the evening the Africaine will be repeated for the last time.
