Tuesday Afternoon, December 3,1561,
THE • SECRET Ain OF WAR,, it is well known,
has taken positive grounds in regard to the era
ployment of slaves by our armies as they ad
vance, under a system of wages, and their sub
sequent release at the end of the war. In his
report, as it has been prepared thus far, we un
derstand from a correspondent at Washington,
who hai conversed familiarly with the author,
he discusses the whole question with the utmost
freedom„ clearness and decision. He says
that the matter is forced upon the attention
of tho gm:oral - vent by the inevitable pro
gress of events, and a policy is absolutely re
quisite. Take the case of our occupation of
Beaufort for an example. The white population
of that district is but six thousand, while the
slave population exceeds thirty-two thousand.
Their masters have all run away. The ne
groes are left alone to commit depredations, to
perish in idleness or starvation, or to be protect
ed and employed by the federal agents. Which
shall it be? if they are sent into the interior,
they will be used by their masters to throw up
entrenchments, or to carry arms, in order to
stop our march to the main land, or else in
producing the means of subsistence for the ar
mies of the insurgents. In either case they
will become the most active agents against us,
and it would be just as wise to send munitions
to the enemy as to send these formidable and
efficient bodies of laborers, who may be made
soldiers.
Now, the one duty of the government, ac
cording to Mr. Cameron, is to subdue the rebel
lion, to deprive it of whatever resources it pos
sesses, and to cripple it in every way consistent
with the laws of civilized warfare. Those who
are using all their energies to overthrow that
government are entitled to little forbearance,
and must take the legitimate consequences of
their own acts. Their slaves are their principal
property, and, as it is perfectly right to confiscate
other property, so the main source of rebellious
wealth should be confiscated. Seven thousand
millions of dollars, or the greater part of it ,
are employed by the rebels in spreading
desolation, slaughter and strife through the
bosom of a once happy community, and if
it :can be made to pay, in some sense, for
the calamities it h is been instrumental in pro
ducing, the retribution would be both just and
wise. Why should the friends of peace, good,
honest, faithful citizens, be Made to suffer the
enormous cost of this war? Why should their
money be spent, their prosperity arrested, their
lives sacrificed, in defence of the constitution,
while the property of those who provoked the
war is left intact? As a military necessity,
moreover, no less than as an act of retributive
justice, to say nothing of moral and social mo
tives, we are called upon to deal with slavery
without fear or affection.
These are not the words of Secretary Cameron,
but they are the arguments he is accustomed to
use, eveu if he shall not incorporate them in
his report.
LATE ADVICES FROM Timu state that Brigham
Young, who at first hesitated as to his future
position, and was inclined to neutrality, has
concluded to side with the legitimate govern
ment, and the delegate of Utah will take his
seat in Congress. Brigham is long-headed, and
the Pacific telegraph reminds him that if Utah
ever is to experience the benefits of a Pacific
railroad, it will come from the North and not
from the South, even if such a thing as separa
tion were possible.
THE ACTION OF CONGRESS.
By. the indications of the first two day's pro
ceedings of Congress, we are induced to antici
pate fair, decided and prompt legislative action
on the subject of the rebellion. The business
of both the Senate and House took this direction
at once, in the former body by the notice of
Senator Trumbull to introduce a bill to confis
cate the property of rebels engaged in war
against the federal government, and to give
freedom to all slaves held to labor in the slave'
states, whose masters are identified with trea
son. This notice will have a salutary effect on
the progress of the rebellion. The bill, when
passed, as we believe it will be, will also place
the rebel slave holder in a position where his
property in human flesh will assume a strange
importance in his eyes, and the slaves which
he has so long held beneath his heel, be
come the instrument of saving the Union from
total destruction. In the House the same spirit
animates the representatives. It begins to
manifest itself in • resolutions setting forth, the
true issue of Ihe rebellion, and holding slavery
alone responsible for its origin, its develop
ment and its progress. The purpose, therefore,
is to strike a blow at the heart of treason by pros
trating and destroying the slave interests of
traitors. When this is accomplished, traitors
will have nothing more to contend for,
while judicious legislation on the subject
through acts of prompt confiscation and
offers of freedom to those who join the Union
standard, will accomplish the conquest of rebel
lion by the very means with which it sought
the dismemberment of the Union and the des
truction of free institutions. Another feature
is the proposition to abolish certain ports of en
try along the Southern Atlantic and Gulf coast.
By such legislation we do away with much of
the necessity of blockade, and enforce our code
on the subject of smuggling, which very few of
even the boldest privateers will dare to violate.
Altogether, then, the initial movements in the
proceedings of Congress are highly indicative
of a determination to deal vigorously with
treason. We trust that there will be no abate
ment in this resolution, and as the proceeding s
progress, that both branches of Congress will
harmoniously co-operate in extending all prop
er aid to those who are now in the field armed
for the suppression of rebellion.
THE HANDLING OF TROOPS.
The National Intelligencer refers to a recent
French writer on military science, who has ven
tured the remark that the art of handling troops
in the conduct of offensive operations seems to
have been lost by modern commanders, who
rely for the production of military effects rather
on the momentum than the celerity of their
blows. The conduct of the war now waging on
our soil would not perhaps be deemed by the
French critic to present any exception to the
rule which he professes to derive from the latest
experiences in the art of war ; for whatever may
be said of the momentum that shall give weight
to the " blows " supposed to be impending, the
popular impatience generally, if ignorantly
confessed, would not seem to indicate that there
has been any remarkable celerity of movement
in the handling of the vast number of troops
believed to be at the command of our generals
in their several departments.
There were some circumstances attendant on
the recent great review of the army on the Po
tomac which may perhaps deserve a special
mention, as serving to show at least the capa
city that exists for the speedy massing of troops
in that quarter. We understand that the sev
enty-seven regiments of infantry, the eight regi
ments of cavalry, and the seventeen batteries
of field artillery which participated in that pa
geant were summoned and gathered for that
purpose from their widely separated stations on
a notice of only twenty-four hours: The task
of accomplishing this result in the time specified
was committed by Gen. .1116Clellan to Gen.
M'Dowell, and the efficiency with which that
accomplished officer discharged the duty as
signed hien was sufficiently attested by the suc
cess of the review, which, besides presenting a
brilliant military display, afforded to the young
General-in-Chief a presage of the reliance he
can place on . the expedition that will be brought
to the fulfilment of his orders whenever it shall
be necessary to combine the forces now in the
field for any operations of an active character.
PRE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVE.
This splendid body of men, under General
McCall, has perhaps attracted inore attention
and consideration from the press than any other
division in the army. It made up, as we all
know, of the very best material in the state of
Pennsylvania, recruited at a time When the en
thusiasm of our People was at its highest pitch,
and when enlistment in the ranks of the reserve
was made a matter of gallant rivalry among all
classes. General McCall devoted his personal
attention and all his military skill and expert.
ence to the organizalion and discipline of the
regiments of the reserve, and didmot leave the
state until his division was in a. condition at
once to enter the field for active duty. The
result is now seen in the manner in which this
division is recognized and complimented by the
Commander-in-Chief of the army, a fact which
is not the less gratifying when we remember
that the conception of the reserve was the re
sult of a patriotism as wise as it was high and
liberal in the extreme. The reserve is composed
of fifteen regiments, with
.its head-quarters at
Langley, Virginia. The accounts we have of
the condition of the• men are very satisfactory
as to their health and content. Nothing seems to
be wanted by the men but bailie. They, are
now only impatient for an encounter. When
that is offered they promise to satisfy their
friends and become satisfied thbmselves.
Viruous oPuricuis are held respecting the
length of the present session of Congress. Judge
Collamer, of Vermont, who is one of the
shrewdest men in Congress, advises .an early
adjournment Ile says : "War is not a busi
ness Congress can engineer. It is properly
executive businees; and the moment Congress pass
es beyond the line of providing for the wants of
the, government, and deciding , the purposes of
the war; to say how it shall be conducted, the
whole thing will prove a failure."
IN Tat Wheeling Convention, now in session,
a resolve was presented and referred, that the
new State should be free.

A communication in the Quebec Chronicle from
a person who has been released from Fort La•
fayette, but who does not give his name, gives
this account of life in the fort :
"On my reaching , the fort I was required to
surrender all the money and blank paper I had
on my person, at the same time being informed
that by applying to the commanding officer I
would receive writing materials, and all my let
ters would be examined by him, and if found to
contain nothing objectionable, they would be
forwarded to their destination ; that my money
would be subject to my checks, but I must
account satisfactorily for its disposition before
I should receive any. So strict were they at
first respecting paper that I was required to
account for every sheet ; subsequently, how
ever, the prisoners were permitted to supply
themselves with writing materials accord
ing to their wants. The rules of the fort
are rigid as to the character of the correspon
dence of prisoners. I was well satisfied if I re
ceived an answer to my letters in three or four
days from New York, only seven miles in dis
tance. My quarters were in a casemate some
twenty-six feet long by fourteen feet in width;
height of roof eight feet ; in this from eight to
eleven persons were placed and locked up at
sundown. At first there was but littleitcomfort
in the shape of 'a bed, but afterwards iron bed
steads were furnished, and arranged in hospital
order. The prisoners were expected to wait on
themselves, and to have the casemate in order
by guard-mounting in the morning; as to my
self I was fortunately situated compared to the
members of the Maryland legislature, &c., who
were in one room in which thirty-eight were
:packel, together With the guns; and in another
room were from twenty-five to thirty,. from all
grades of society—from the newspaper-selling
boy to the ex-Minister 'to France.
"Those who have funds arranged a mees pro
vided with two meals a day, by the sergeant's
wife, for which they paid one dollar ; others,
however, and by far the larger number of my
fellow-sufferers, entirely depend on soldiers' ra
tions, viz : For breakfast, fat pork, four ounces
of bread, and a cup of something called coffee ;
dinner, four ounces of bread, one cup of pork or
beef soup', three ounces of over-boiled and indi
gestable beef and a quantity of water. The
above bill of fare is invariable. All little things
were at first forbidden admission to add to the
comfort cif-ourless fortunate prisoners, but there
was an individual in the neighborhood, whose
name will never be forgotten by any prisoner in
the garrison whose charitable hand was ready
to give aid, and did send such meals daily at
her own expense that gave great relief to the
poor sufferers who had to subsist on such food,
as they were not accustomed to.
"At first newspapers were positively forbid
den, but at a late date such papers as were pub
lished in New York were allowed The privilege
was a great comfort, and why it was BO long
delayed I really cannot divine, in this age of
newspaper reading."
WHAT THE NORTH Car' Do.—A carefully pre
pared statistical table shows that the number of
white men, in the loyal States and Territories
able to bear arms is four million four hundred
and sixty thiee thousand, and that the number
of white men in the field and preparing to take
it from these States and Territories is but five
hundred and thirty-nine thousand eight hun
dred. These facts make it plain that the gov
ernment can, if it shall find it necessary to do
so, put an army of a million and a half of white
men into the field, and yet leave the course of
prod action, trade and commerce practically un
disturbed..
BALTIMORE AND 01110 RAILROAD.—The Wheel
ing Press of Thursday last says :
As confirming what we published on Tuesday
morning relative to the re-opening of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, we would state that
Mr. Perkins, the master machinist, has ordered
all the machinery on thisroad toCumberland to
be pnt in good order. This looks like going to
work. We shall be glad to see this road once
more in ,full operation: The 'interest of the
country as well as theinterest , of . the Govern
ment requires it.
