THE WAR. MXVIIIth COXGBEgg, Beport of the Secretary of Commutation Clause to be Re Ttae Canada Kidnapping* Case Nbw York, Dec. 9.— The report of the Secretary of Wans of considerable length, ft reviews onr victories and pays high tribute to the bravery and skill of onr troops. He says the combined operations of our army and navy against Charleston have not as yet accomplished what was expected of them. In Texas a large force operating under Banks will give protection i to the people of that State and cut off a chief average of the rebels from foreign commerce and foreign aid. The armies of Bee and Meade now occupy exactly the same positions as at the date of the last annual report. West Virginia is now clear ot rebels and the people of that State are enjoying comparative peace and the bles sings ot civil government. The rebel forces m Missouri have been driven be hind the Arkansas river. No military op erations of any magnitude have taken piace in Virginia or North Carolina. The federal forces are now firmly planted in every rebel State. The success ot onr arms during the past year, has enabled the department to make a reduction of over $200,000,000 in the es timates for the ensuing year. The trouble in regard to the exchange of prisoners in prisons, is reviewed at length and the blame far the non exchange thrown entire y upon the rebel authorities. He alludes to the good treatment the rebel prisoners have received at onr hands and denonnces the rebel authorities for the cruel manner in which they have ireated onr prisoners in their handß. He then discusses the act of Congress for enrolling and calling out the national forces, and says that the law has been enforced i„ twelveStat.es, yielding 6(1,000 soldiers and $lO (too 000 for procaring snbstitates. The $3OO clause ■ 8 alluded to, as are also ihe con flicting opinions in regard to its ins t‘ce and injustice. He Bays ibat a large proportion of the troops whose terms expire next year will re enlist, it being stipulated by the Government that they shall have at least one month's fur lough before their prese-n lerm expires. Ihe intentions are that the force reqnired w , ’ m a K reat measure, be raised by volunteering and without a draft An immedtate appropriation (or bounties should be made He then allndes to the valuable service the Invalid Corps has rendered to the Government; the corns now numbers 20.18)0 officers and privates. He says that immediately after the issuing Of the President's proclamation dili gent efforts were commenced nnd have continued until the present time for raising colored troops. Fifty thousand colored men are now organized , and the number will rapidly increase as onr armies advance. The freed slaves make good BOldn-rs, are easily disciplined, and c .ur ageous Ihe slave has proven bis man hood and capacity, and makes a good n, fantry, artillery or cavalry soldier, as has been evidenced on several occasions. The colored troops have been allowed no bounties—under the construction given by the department they can only by ihe existing law receive ten dollars per month for I heir servict a. while while soldiers receive thirteen dollars, with i loihu.g ,„,d their daily rations. lbs fortunes of war have brought wnhin «,nr lines large num hers or colored women and children and some aged and infirm persons. A solemn trust rests upon the Government lor ineir care and protection The Adjt. General recommends the term ot enlistment in t‘,e regular service be fixed at three years Instead ol five, in accordance with the act pflßfil which expires by limitation omhe lfit ol January, 18*3.

Washington, Dec. 9. -The legislature of old Virginia completed its organization to-day at Alexandria. Governor Pier pont’e message was delivered to both houses. It contains an argument against secession and another in favor of the emancipation oi all the slaves in the Btate with a recommendation that the tnre shall call a convention of the people 10 secure the alterations of the constitu tion to thni end. In answer to the asser tion that u majority of the people of the State were rebels, he urged that felons aito paupers have rio right to vote, they can't deprive the loyal of their right if the loyal can assert their rights, and con tends that no counties or State Bhonld hereafter be allowed a representative in State governments until they organized by the election of officers by whom taxes can be collected. In his argument on the glavery question, he says that the Presi dent s proclamation frees all in the State except in a few counties. Without this amendment to the constitution I forßee end less strife and turmoil. All the State officers are sworn to support the constitution ol the United States nnd the laws of Vir ginia. The laws of the State as they now stand recognize slavery, and the officers will be called upon for warrants to appre hend slaves and commit them to jail. The army of the United States will interpose, thus a conflict will ensue, and the rebels glory in the strife , we must either decide to come into antagonism with the United States or alter onr organization or the law on the subject. The Governor says he has reliable information from a large por tion of the State, that as soon as the domestic violence is suppressed there will be more man enough of capable men who have never bowed to secession, to welcome an. carry on the government of the State and that of every county. The annual report 0 f the Secretary of the Treasury on the finance, will be laid before Congress to-morrow at dood.
