THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
AT 110* AND ABROAD.
During the crowded state of our columns in
the late election Campaign, we were preventeo
from continuing lin quotations of the defence
of the Secretary of War, made by the most
( 4
prominent and uential newspapers at home
and abroad. W resume the publication of
these extracts, wing that our readers and
the public. gen yln this locality are always
gratified to perusti the printed words of promi
nent citizens in defence of one whom they
delight to honor . We offer the following com
munication, as one of the home defences, written
by a gentleman heretofore connected with the
press of thisistate, and at present occupying a
position of ireat respectability and trust among
the business men of this country. lie seems to
express the sentiments entertained by a class
of men whose confidence any man may be proud
to possess :
THE SECREUERY Or WAR AND WS ACCUSERS.
[Written for the Telegraph.j
There is nothing more certain in the rapid
and ever-changing current of events. than that
justice and truth will ultimately triumph over
ingratitude and dissimulation. This is one of
the consoling facts revealed by faithful history,
deprived of a knowledge of which men of worth
and fortitude might be led to despair even of
their counts;. It is true, indeed, that patriots
and statesmen are always so fortunate as to re
ceive the reward of their patient labors and
disinterested services in the cause of their coun
try, in their own day and generation ; but,
nevertheless, the time will come, when the
names of such men will be found enrolled and
venerated among those of the defenders of lib
erty, and of the benefactors of mankind. Every
day, however, even in these evil and malignant
Mines, when men seek the attainment of their
partisan and personal ends through the detrac
tion and misrepresentation of those whom they
fear ou account of their firmness, their justice,
and their unflinching rectitude of purpose, we
behold impulsive evidences, flowing from the
hearts of the people, bearing unmistakable
proof that they are neither unmindful of, nor
ungrateful to those who serve them with sin
cerity, and with uo other object in view than
the honor and integrity of their whole country.
Among those patriots of our own unhappy
times, whose disinterested labors iu behalf of
his country are destined to receive the grateful
plaudits of the future historian, we may justly
refer to the present. Secretary of War, the Hon.
SIMON CAMERON, of Pennsylvania. It is true,
however, that the reputation of Mr. Cameron,
like that of other patriots and defenders of
their country, has not escaped the malice of
diselaxonted aspirants, anxious to obtain respon
sible stations, the honors of which they were
known to be unworthy of, and the duties of
which they were incapable of performing with
credit to themselves or advantage to their coun
try. But it has been owing to this strict adhe
rence to official justice, and to the severe dis
crimination which Mr. Cameron has always
instituted between capacity and pretension, be
tween integrity and servility, that he has caused
his department to be relied upon as the strong
right arm, and the true defence of the Union.
Had he allowed himself to be swayed in any
manner by the impudent dictatious of those
who have condemned his firm and prudent pol
icy, the War Department never would have at
tained that efficiency and promptness which
have secured for it the highest confidence of
the people. In view of the confused condition the
Department was left in by his unworthy prede
cessor, the traitorous and thieving Floyd, and
of the suddenness of the startling events which
claimed all the untried energies of the new
Secretary, it may justly be esteemed a subject
of congratulation for the whole country, that
Mr. Cameron was selected as the chief of that
most important executive branch of the Gov
ernment. Nothing, indeed, but the rankest
prejudice and ingratitude could induce any man
to array himself against a public officer who
effected so much, in so short a time, for the de
fence of the Union against a powerful and un-
prepped for rebellion, as did the present Secre
tary of Wax, the honored son of Pennsylvania.
Let us hear no more, then, of the malicious
utterances of disappointed aspirants, who, basely
to avenge themselves for some just rebuke of
their presumption in demanding stations they
were incompetent to fill, would deeply injure,
if not ruin forever, the prospect of a happy fu
ture to our beloved country. O. M. H.
The Terre Haute Daily Express, one of the
leading and ablest organs of the Republicans
of the state of Indiana, takes up the defence
of the Secretary of War in a manner in which
we had scarcely any right to expect from that
quarter, because the people of that state, like
the people of most of the western and south
western commonwealths, have always regarded
Pennsylvania and her statesmen with a jealous
and a selfish indifference. Why this is so they
can better explain than we are able to do so,
but we feel certain that it is not because the
statesmen and representatives of the old Rey
, stone state have ever failed either in legislative
council or the cabinet, to do justice to the great
west, its interests and its influences. With this
frank evidence of the just estimation in which
the press of Indiana and of nearly all the west
ern and loyal south-western states hold a favor
ite and distinguised citizen of Pennsylvania, we
hail the dawning of a new era in the intercourse
and political and social reciprocities of the peo
ple of the great west and those of the north
and east. The following article will therefore
be read with interest :
W. El. Kenedy
THE A.TrAess ON SIAMITARY CAMERON
It is high time that the baffled speculators
who have been driven out of the War Depart
ment, ceased their calumny about Secretary
Cameron's use of the Harrisburg Railroad.
Every soldier who has been transported over
that route, knows that Mr. Cameron has saved
to the government $5,000 on each regiment
forwarded to Washington. That was the dif
ference in the price charged by the Harrisburg
line, and the Camden and Amboy. By, this
ronte,.all transhipments and changes of cars .
were avoided, exceedingly important items, i n .
the treesPerhition'of heavy guns, horses, stores
and munitions of war, while saving to the
Treasury enormous sums of money."
We take the foregoing extract from the
Washington correspondence of the New York
Tribune, and are exceedingly gratified that it is
in our power to contribute towards its circula
tion, as an act of justice to the distinguished
gentleman to whom it refers. We have not
suffered the malignant assaults upon Mr. Cam
eron to abate or weaken lit any degree, our con
fidence in his integrity, and have rested under
the conviction that, in a short while, the wea
pons directed at him would be turned upon his
assailants. The time has come sooner than we
anticipated, and it will afford his friends some
satisfaction to know that it is his stern and un
yielding defence of the interests of the Govern
ment which has invited the fierce assaults upon
him. It is an easy matter to raise a popular
hue and cry against the President or any
.mem
bet of his Cabinet, by a charge of eoiruption
upon them—because the public mind, unfortu
mately, is far more prone to "believe a . lie"
than the truth. Disappointed office seekers
and baffled speculators take advantage of
this state of things, and, by their com
plaints and groundless slanders, often cause
unjust suspicions to be indulged against
the honor and integrity of men who, at the
time, both by day and night, are devoting
every energy they possess to the advancement
of the public welfare. This we apprehend has
been the case with the present Secretary of
War, whose position, since he came into office,
has involved more responsibility, by far, than
ever rested upon any of his predecessors since
the Government was formed. In the first
place, he found the emirs of his Department
thrown into confusion by the steps which a
traitorous predecessor had taken with a view of
turning all the material of the army against
the Government, upon the breaking out of the
revolution which he was, with unparalleled
baseness and corruption, then engaged iu plot
ting. Aud, hence, when the war broke out, he
was immediately surrounded with the most
extraordinary embarrassments, which it re
quired herculean energy to overcome. We
need only refer to the facts that nearly
the entire array and all the war material were
in the Southern states, and a large portion of
the forts in those states left ungarrisoned, as
the ground of these suggestions. Yet, in the
midst of these difficulties—which would have
overwhelmed a man of only ordinary energy—
Secretary Cameron has contrived to bring order
out of chaos, and to put the army on a more
complete and better war footing than it ever
was before. And besides this, he had to gather
this army from among the farms, and work
shops, and business avenues of a country uu
used to war and entirely unprepared for it. And
he had not only to gather the men together,
but to transport them many hundred miles, in
large bodies, and to provide for their subsist
ence. Whet) all these things are remembered,
the only wonder is, that, situated as he was, he
has doue so well—and this, we feel convinced,
will be the judgment of the country when it
shall come to understand the character of the
services he has performed.
But there is another view of the matter,
which should not be overlooked. It is this ;
That, at the present time, nothing is so well
calculated to advance the cause of rebellion iu
the North, as this constant false clamoring
against the Administration, and, especially the
War and Navy Departments, which are blame
diately charged with the conduct of the war.
The secessionists desire nothing so much as to
divide the North into factions, because, thereby,
they promise themselves to make a united south
the more certainly successful in overthrowing
the Government and dividing the Union. And
there is no more effective means of doing this
than to destroy the public confidence in the
Administration. Therefore, they are rejoiced,
no doubt, to witness the attacks upon the Sec
retary of War, and consider those who mak6
them as materially helping their cause along,
Now, while we would screen no officer of the
Government from the consequences of official
misconduct, yet we must protest against such
assaults as those referred to, unless they are
supported by evidence of their truth. That
they are not in the case referred to by the cor
respondent of the Tribune is sufficiently shown
by the facts stated by him,—that instead of
there being anything improper in the employ
ment of the Harrisburg Railroad by the War
Department, it actually saved the Government
$5,000 on each regiment forwarded to Washing
ton,—which makes an aggregate saving of a
very large sum. We feel confident that, when
all the truth is known, the other accusations,
about which so much has been said against
that Department, will turn out in the same
way.
The Springfield Journal, the home organ of
President Lincoln, has referred heretofore to
the malignant assaults made on the Secretary
of War by disappointed speculators and secret
sympathisers with treason, and again, in a late
issue, thus refers to a repetition of those assaults
and falsehoods by a class of sensation journal
ists who could not become notorious in any
other manner than by.traducing the good they
cannot emulate. From the spirit and tone of
the Journal, one can judge of the confidence and
cordiality existing between the President and
the Secretary of War:
THP SIOILITAIt2 OP WAR
A few weeks ago the sensation newspapers
were filled with vague but nevertheless sweep
ing attacks upon General Simon Cameron,
the Chief of the War Department. He
was assailed with a malignity which hesitated
at nothing, and charges of corruption
and inefficiency were made against him with
the most wanton recklessness. He was held ac
countable for every reverse. He was made to
bear the responsibility of every defeat. He was
charged with complicity in every army contract;
and, in spite of the fact that he had, out of
nothing, raised, equipped, organized and brought
into the field an army of nearly 400,000 men,
in the short space of lees than a hundred days,
perforniing an amount of labor which in all its
complications and details would have over
whelmed almost any other man, he was singled
out as the Jonah of the Administration, and
the cry went forth that he must be thrown over
board. The people, who were witnesses of the
activity, zeal and efficiency with which he was
conducting his department of the Government,
refused to believe the stories which were so sys
tematically circulated against Gen. Cameron.—
They demanded specifications. They insisted
upon knowing, if he was inefficient, where was
the evidence of it; if he was acting corruptly, in
what manner it was exhibited ; if he was not
competent for his position, how it happened
that such an immense army had been brought
into the field in so short a time ? The specifi
cations have never been made. The charges
have died ont, and those who started them are
now nnderstotod to be corrupt contract brokers„

derstood and thwarted by the vigilance and sa
gacity of the Secretary of War, attempted to re
venge themselves and to get rid of him by
trumping Up their false charges. Gen. Cameron
so far from having been injured by them,
stands to-day higher in the estimation of the
people than ever; and the very papers that but
recently were made the vehicles of censure are
now loudest in his praise.

SYRACUSE, Mo., Oct. 13
General Cameron, accompanied by Adjutant
General Thomas, spent Saturday night at Jef
ferson City,aud arrived in Tipton about 9 o'clock
yesterday morning. After breakfasting in camp
they rode over to this place, six miles, on horse
back, accompanied by Gen. Fremont and staff.
Upon its arrival here the party called
upon General licKinstry, and after spending
half an hour with him, proceeded, in com
pany m ith him, his staff and several other
gentlemen, to review General Meliinstry's
division, which is encamped here. At
the close of the review, Gen. Cameron made a
few well-timed remarks to the troops, express
ing the highest gratification at the condition in
which he found them, and the utmost confi
dence that in the hands of such men the honor
and success of our country's arms was safe.
Loud cheers were given for Gen's. Cameron,
Fremont, and Mcliinstry; after which Gen.
Cameron and his party, accompanied by Gen.
Fremont and staff, went by rail to Tipton,
where they reviewed Gen. Asboth's division,
which was also in excellent condition. Then
they went in a special train to St. Louis.
It is understood Gen. Cameron came here at
the request of the President, to examine the
condition of affairs in this department, and that
he professes himself highly gratified with the
condition of Fremont's army. Col. Merrill's
cavalry have gone down the Osage, on a scout
ing expedition.
Cien's. Mellinstry and Stanly are to remain
here, and not go east as reported.
Gen. Fremont is on the eve of moving, but
is greatly embarrassed by want of transporta
tion.
Within a few days, parties of rebels have
been foraging sixty miles south of Sedalia.
I have very late intelligence from Price's
army. My informant, a citizen of this county,
deserted, and is here to claim the amnesty offer
ed to rebels who lay down their arms. He left
Price on Wednesday a short distance south of
Johnstown, in Bates county, moving southward.
He represents that great dissatisfaction exists in
Price's army.
Desertions occur every day, and if assurances
could be conveyed to them that they would not
be harshly dealt with, he thinks the greater
part of the State Guard would lay down their
arms and return to their homes.
They are tired of war, and are only prevent
ed from deserting in large bodies by the assur
ances of their officers that if they are caught
they will be hung as traitors, and by the stories
of terrible Union outrages which are actively
circulated among them. The most exaggerated
accounts of attrocities committed by our army,
the destruction of property, burning of towns
and ravishment of women, are circulated and
believed among them.
Eight or ten other citizens of this country
who belonged to his company deserted : al
with:him and are ready to give themselves up. ong
