IaFORMS
Wage proraimedlaanyieforms in the volun
teer army by the special correspondents from
Washington who protein to know in advance
whatigibibitsiggelded-by the 14 - eads of Depart
ment, and what will be enacted into law by
Congress. Among these reforms is one on the
subject of sutjers, a class of men who are de
tailed by thearmy regulations to rob the soldier
by taking advantage of his necestities, and mo
noPogie 01 , the mesas for supplying his wants-
Originally,. the sutlerabip of a reginiestt was in
tended'to accommodate the soldier, but like
mangy i:4## original intentions in the regular
• 12 a p becoma a means of oppression and
disgraea r atiose rule of action is to visit all the
burdertirObi the common soldier. By the sutler,
the It E t u Vtiienow is perhaps more imposed
upon, by,any other meauj in the army.
Whewhicantp far front a town or city, the sol
dier nthatteither deprive himself of many com
forts:jff ittinait to an extortion which is simple
roblany. Ot course large aunts of money are
made iathis manner, and the disgrace is la
mest:4%y the allegation that regimental of
ficers**ften parties to the imposition and ex
tortien. We can conceive how humiliating it
must be to the service, to suspect that those
in dansuiend of regiments, to whom the
comfort and care as well as the discipline
of the aoldier is purely contided, should be
thus engaged in his manifest oppression.—
And titoolse, the facts on the subject of the im
positiOnit practiced by sutlers have become so
broad, and :multiplied, yre trust that Congress
will 'apply the needful reform by at once abol
ishintthe entire system, and leave the business
of sipplying the soldier with such articles as
are NW sold by smile's open to general compe
tition. The subject is an important one in
everfrespebt, 'and we therefore trust that there
will be *o delay in legislation in referimce to
the bubbless and interests it involves.
Since writing the , above, which has been in
type for several days, we learn that a movement
has been made in Congress to abolish at least
the sutlersht the volunteer army.. Its success
'menet be' doubted, if the subject is properly
iced.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR
We print this afternoon, on our first page,
the report of the Secretary of War. Without
referring particularly to the statement it pre
sents of the condition of the army, facts that
have long since been known to the public,
through unofficial sources, our attention is at
once arrested by the bold position it takes on
the subject of the means to be used for the sup
pression of the slave holder's rebellion. Gen.
Cameron deals with this portion of his subject_
in a bold, lucid and statesmanlike manner. He
understands all the aspects of his subject—sees
at a glance the obstruction in the path to suc
cess in this struggle, and therefore indulges in
no circumlocution as he suggests his, remedies
and proposes his line of action in conducting the
war. The first great truth announced by the
report is, that this war is prosecuted not as a
trial of stragetkal skill, between the leaders of
armies, nor as a display , of power to intimidate
one of the , two great parties 'antagonized. The
rebels organized the conflict to overturn the
government thegovernment then took up
arms to • suppress the rebellion. So far as the
rebels are concerned, they have paused at no
expediency, overlooked no source of strength,
nor hesitated at the use of no means with which
they could possibly. succeed. Their avowed put 7
pose and determination are to destroy this goi
eminent, if possible ;' and to increase the possi
bility of this determinatiiia; they have resorted
to all classes for recruits to fill their armies—
making Sievert' which is with them the lathe
of the contest, also the force and the p6wer for
waging its battles carrying death • and de
stniction into the rarike 'of this fedend armies.
Slavery is the principal source of rebel- strength
at all times. It supplies ita communities with
means of living—it gives business to continents,
activity to trade, incentives to industry, luxuries
to` ociety and tone tapolitka in the rebel states
—and is, therefore, to all intents and purposes,
the soul and strength, the heart andiving of
rebellion, and unlesi a blow be struck at thetin
stitullon, wenray nion*hd our armies until dooms
day, and fill he:Montors' With human slaughter+,
without affecting in the least the principle
which animates treason, or diminish its power
and Strength in'a single particular. The Secre
terry of War proposes that this bloat at rebellion
shall be struck by, using'the slaves of rebel mas
ters for its suppression. He does not advocate
a general emancipation. He does not propose
that the slave shrill be let loose to roam with
out orgmization or discipline, directed by his
own passions or stimulated by his own hatteds
to any deed of violence whichthe rage and con
, fusion of the hour might suggest. ' • Secretary
Cameron simply claims that as the institution
of slavery makes proiertyof a negro—the neces
sity of war subjects him to the principles which
renders other property contraband, and when
the government'having urieiitbe servibei of the
rebel's slave in any manner' conducive to the
overthrow of rebellion, it cannot by any law or
precedent, remand him again to bondage.' The
traitor master has forfeited his title in such pro- .
party—and that slave, having been baptised in
the blood of battle, or having as freely given
his strength in the performance of any labbi to.
assist in achieving Victory, has earned his right
to freedom. All this use of the slave is to be gov
erned scrupulously by thestricteist military exi
gencies. If, aims armies advance into the midst
of rebellion, it is deemed unnecessary thus to use
the slaves of rebels, such use of course will,not
be tinkle -Ant if; atter anbsideration and con.:
'Action, such use is deemed essential to success,
the commanding officer of any army who would
neglect taking advantage of such a means of.
success, when it was within his power and
reach, would be guilty of a military omission
and a personal dereliction of duty such as
should, by every consideration of justice, sub
ject him to the severest and most condign pun
ishment.
OA this subject Congress and the peppy) are
with the Secretary of 'Nftir, while the `proposi
tion which is thus boldly advanced of using all
means within the reach of the government to
suppress a wicked rebellion, is sanctioned not
only by present laws of self-preservation, but
by political /91d . divine considerations, looking
forward to the advance of civilization, the de
velopment of free institutions, and the success
of free government. If the suggestion does
noting more, it gives us a policy—and if by
the avowal of - such a policy -the rebellion is
broUght to a dose by a fear of the terrible al
ternative thus proposed to be enforced, we will
always find the corrective in the cants of rebellion,
when the interests of
. slavery are made preteiti
and the means for su bverting `
the jovernment
or destroying the Union, lis a policy, too,
which the lidniinbstration ands' sooner Or later
adopt, if the voice of the people and the necea
sit* of the crisis have' any influence on the
judgmcnt and actions of bur inlem.
--We submit the report to the careful peru
sal of our readeri.
Tam CHAPLAIN of the House of Representatives
at the opening of the House on Monday, prayed
espicially for the slave. This is the first time,
since the organization of our government, that
such a prayer was attempted to be made in the
Hall of Congress, and it is no less significant
because it was made at this time, when those.
who uphold the: political and social* rights of
slavery are violently attempting the disrupture
of the federal government. If such a prayer
bad been made hp a chaplain of the House six
years since, he would have been hurled from
the clerk's desk and doubtless assassinated• in
the presence of the Representatives assembled,
but now the prayer fs listened to with respect
in Congress, and who dare doubt its mer
answer from Heaven. Thus the work of mighty,
reform progresses, and thus the rotten fabric of
huran oppresaion begins to heAstailed. While
-
our armies are arrayed in battle against its ad
vocates on the field, the voice of prayer goes up
,frOrn the Halle of legislation for mercy, pity,,
and emancipation for the slaves. All this is no
miracle, and yet it is the work of God.

A ,lettet. in tke Richmond Examiner, from
ChillestA dated Nov. 21st, says : 'l'he amount
of cot tot abandoned , on ..the plantations was
veryrtonsiderably. It is not easy to estimate
the qnantity with certainty, but it is generally
said to be about - fifteen hundred bales. Many
of the planters, before quittifig, set tire to their
erups and such other combustible property on
their premises as' timid not i?e removed. It is
certainlOti - be regretted that, in the confusion
that prevailed, this very proper step was not
more generally taken. But the first surprise at
the invasion has now , dia awayy dand4 think
the Northern government may reckon, without
fear of nustake,, , that it lies obtaififd the very
last bag of cotton, and also the last cxetraband,
that it ever can ope to seize by pouncing upon
theteoast of south Carolina. Coneertaiarrange
meats between the planters and the military au
thorities have very wisely been made, by which
no planation will in future be abandoned until
the
e rdp is utterly consumed,°the'gin house and
other buildings destroyed, the live stock driven

,hande retuolnll to the fhterfer. In
