3IcALARNEY, 'EDITon
SECRETARY CAMERON.
The following from' the N. F. Independent.
- in relation to the Report of Mr. Cameron, is
' only one of the many compliMents he is daily
receiving from those who were at the com
mencement of his admiutstration opposed to
him:
"There are many respects in which the re
cent Report of the Secretary of War, Mr. Cam
eron, is one cf the most extraordinary that
has ever been presented during the history of
our Government, and, at a time less full of
daily matter for thong! t and new ,wonder,
would have called out even more interest
Than the already great interest which it has
excited.
In the earlier months of this war of rebel
- lion, much complaint was uttered of the War
Department. Already fault-finding has been
, changed to admiration. People begin to have
sonic conception of the enormous tasks impos
ed upon a Department that came under the
charge of c tle present Secretary. not simply
organized for peace times, but disorganized
purposely by treacherous men, and left in a
state that required weil,nigh recreative pow
' tr. And now that the result of seven month's
administration is presented in Mr. Cameron's
report, we do not hesitate to say that such an
exhibit was never before made in the • milita-
ay annals of any.people—even the most war
like and the best prepared. But a little more
than hitlf a year, and not only aro tlicre 'be
-tween aiz and seven hundred thousand men on
foot, but, for the most part, they are now
clothed, - aimed,- drilled, and equipped and
fulnished with all the muniments of war, the
'mere list of which would swell k pages.
To do this the industry of the country, sud
denly clMcked in its ordinary directions, was
-to be. turned into new channels. The organ
ization of this new army, the settling of com
plicated questions, the solution of, unnamed
and innumerable daliculties that mustUrise
in the gathering and consolidating three
quarters of a million of men, and the nice
questions between the Government and the
Separate states, full of very important but-del
icate Matter, for which there were no guides
or precedents—these and like matters can
'never be put upon paper, so as to make a
show in any comparison /with their real bur- .
densomenesse And it is a remarkable feature
in the war report of Mr. Cameron, that he de-i
tails results with the utmost simplicity and!
cleirness, and yet with brevity uaprolonged
by a single effort at magnifying his tasks *in
-order to catch praise. •
Such a report makes one proud of the peo
ple of this land of the institutions which ed
ucate such a people.

is preparing to do so whenever any con!.
siderable force appears. On the 17th,
'soon after Hood, there. occurred a sharp
skirmish between four companies of an
Indiana reiiment-=-350 men—and 3,000 i
of the rebels, with a battery of six pieces.
After some hard fighting, "the rebels re
treated, with the loss of 33 killed and 50
wounded.' Among the killed was the
Colonel of the Texas Rangers. Our loss
was 9 killed and 10 wounded.
There was a lively skirinish yesterday
at Point of Rocks. A Reim! battery' of
'three guns, - flanked by 200' infantry, sud
denly opened lire upon Col. Geary'sreg

ment at once replied, disabling one,..gun
and driving thq , artillerytuen' from', the
others.' The fight :lasted about half an
hour; the enemy kst at least 14 killed
and many wounded. The Union croons
lost not a man. When the Rebels had

who on Wednesday, by a forced, march,
menaced the Rebels in Johnson County, I
compelled them to retreat rapidly toward
Ruse Hill ;.they left in his hands all their
' baggage, arms, munitions: of war,) and
camp equippage. He then threw I
for-
ward ten coopanics of infantry and a see•
Lion of artil ry, and followed with his
main armY. As soon as they heard of
his near apps ch the Reb'cls - wildlylfied";
Gen. Pope captured 150 of them in one
party, and about as ninny More in small
squads. Price was reported to have only
8,000 man With him at, OsCeula. . '1:
The steamship Atlartiie, from Port
Royal On 17th, arrived.' She- brought
120,000 pounds of Sea Island cotton,!with
the information that 400,000' pounds
more would be ready to come by the! next
steamer. A dispatch, dated two or three
'• days before - the sailing of the Atlantic,
states that depression of spirits prevails
throughout the whole South ; that the
general feelling is as if absolute failure
had already_settled upon-them ; that the
sugar planters are all Union men ;..and ,
that if we take Mobile or New-Orleans
the cotton planters will all 'briug.!their

told that there exists at the South 'very

have nothing to feed their!slaves oa.
THIRTY-SEVENTH CONGREES.
Second Session.
,
In the Senate Mr. Doolittle introduced
a bill for the collection of direct takes in
the insurrectionary districts. It provides
for taking the land in such districts for
the payment of, the tax, and that the
President shall make known by proelania
tion what districts are insurrectionary.
Mr. Steven's' from the Committee on
Ways aud Means, reported a bill malting
an: appropriation for the construction,
preservation And repair of fortifications
and works of defense.
Mr. Colfax reported - a hill•abolishing
the frankini , privilege, the consideration
of which was postponed until the second
Tuesday in Jaquary. i ,
I In the Senate several eloquent eulogies
upon Gen. Lyon were delivered.
'ln the HouSe.a resolution was adopted I
directing the Committee on the Judiciary i
to report a bill so amending the Fugiive 1
Slave law, of 1850, that lid fugitive. shall
;be returned without satisfactory prni.ifi
being first made' that hie claimant is hiyall
to the Government.
Mr. Wilson introduced into the Senate
la resolution instructing the Coniniittee
on Military Affairs to report an additional
Article of war providing that all officers til
the army shall be prohibited from using
any portion of the lurce under their; com
mand forthe capture or return of ;fugitive

We learn that among the papers ;
on I
Thursday transmitted to the Senate don-1
icerning Mexican affairs, was the project I
of a treaty With Mexico, the provisions of'
which are of such importance that it. is i
1
even thought it would: if Confirmed, lead -i
Ito the withdrawal of England and F,rancel
l from the Spanish alliance. It provides,
I f that our Government shall pay $11,000,-
1000 to Mexico, to be applied to the; sat
jisfaction of English and French creditors, I
I and for a grant to the United States of I
I commercial privileges, the adjustment of!
lour outstanding debts, and the right of ,
transit across Mexican territory for troops I
and munitions of war. It is thought the.
(treaty will ba speedily confirtned, and sent 1 ;
at once to Vera Cruz.

We are still without decisive news] from

been made, but it is known that the! vat- ii

nothing positive is known,,but the itti.l

rests on some foundation, that the deMand
