Vrts4terin PITTSBURGH, DECEMBER 13, 1862 The War. The army of the Potomac still rests at Falmouth. • We have no doubt but that the delay is wise. It is a military necessity. And yet it is humiliating. Why is our army unable to move ? Delay used to be attributed to Gen. M'Clellen, but the delay is now even worse. The new and splendid army, connected with the veterans, doubles our forces. The corps are no longer di vided, but messed. Gen. Halleck, the Commander-in• Chief, having everything his own way, and having his own chosen Generals in all the important positions, why' has he not the army in Richmond in the promised two weeks, after the 7th of November ? Why is it still North of the Rappahannock, removed but a few miles down the stream, from where it was when the " too cautious " General was displaced by a " fighting " General ? The answer is easy. A powerful, wary, and skillful foe is in its front. Burnside knows him, and will not, like Pope, press on to destruction. He will rather sacrifice himself, as to his command, than uselessly and injuriously sacrifice his army. The delay at Yorktown, and befope Richmond, and in Maryland, was not the fault of Gen. M'Clellan ; and the delay on the Rappahannock is not the fault of Gen. Burnside. Burnside has been detained at Falmouth, partly by the want of supplies, but mainly by the impracticability of crossing the river in the presence of a large rebel army. His soldiers are building huts and trying to make themselves comfortable. They certainly need a shelter better than a mere army tent, when they have four inches of snow,,acd the mercury down to 20°. We hope, however, that they are not to Winter in Falmouth. They have now the aid of some gunboats ; and a bridge over the river is rapidly advancing. There will be some demonstration, either South or East of Richmond, to draw off a part of Lee's army, or a part will be driven off by the cold. Thus may our army get across to Fredericksburg; or may change its place o f operations. The enterprise in the South-west is progressing. Gen. Grant has crossed the Tallahatchie, .without opposition, and is on his way to Grenada, Miss. At that place Gen. ,Sherman, advancing from Mem phis, is to meet. him. Grenada is at the Auction of the railroads, one from Corinth and the other from Memphis, going South. From Grenada the army will probably ad vance on Jackson, the capital of Missis sippi, using the railroad for transportation. When at Jackson, Gen. Grant will be di rectly East of Vicksburg, distant about thirty-five miles by rail. The expedition is hazardous; but Gen. Grant is both brave and cautious, and has a largo army. It is reported that Gen. Holmes, of the rebel army, has crossed the river, from Arkansas, with 40,000 men, for the defence of Vicksburg. Another report is, and probably true, that Gen. Hovey, with 20,- 1 000 Federal troops, had crossed from Arkansas, higher up the river, and marched directly on Grenada, and captured it. If so, he will accompany Grant and Sherman, and the three Generals, by the interior route, will aim at meeting M'Clernand and the fleet at Vicksburg. Gen. Rosecrans' headquarters were still at 'wine, at last accounts. He is charged the expulsion of the rebels from East ,essee. A movement in force is ex ;(I shortly. A rise in the Cumberland is greatly needed to expedite military *ens. That stream is still very low. advance, at Hartsville, has suffered ie Banks Expedition sailed from New : on Wednesday; that is, the Corn ier then sailed, and a number of his 'ports.

United with the armies now at the tress, Yorktown, Norfolk, and Suffolk, with the iron-clads and gunboats, a idable advance might be made on the A capital. This would either cause achmend to fall immediately, or it would ause the recall of a part of Gen. Lee's may from Fredericksburg. Thus might 3-en.

This is a very voluminous document, and is exceedingly well written; but as the de tails are not of mueli interest to the gen eral reader, we confine ourselves to the following extracts: Since the commencement of our national difficulties four powerful squadrons have been collected, organized, and stationed for duty on our maritime frontier, with a ra pidity and suddenness which finds no ap proach to a parallel in previous naval his- , tory, and which it is believed no other country but our own could have achieved. These squadrons have been incessantly maintaining a strict blockade, of such gi gantic proportions that eminent foreign statesman in the highest scenes of legisla tion did not hesitate, at its commencement, publicly denounce it as "a material im possibility;" and yet after this most im posing naval undertaking had been for a period of eighteen months in operation, and after its reach had been effectually extend ed along the entire sweep of our Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from the outlet of the Chesapeake to the mouth of the Rio Grande, the same eminent authorities, with a list in their hands of all the vessels which had evaded or escaped the vigilance of our blockading force, could not refuse in their official statements to admit with reluctant candor that the proof of the efficiency of the blockade was conspicuous and wholly conclusive, and in no previous war had the ports of an enemy's country been so effec tually closed by a naval force. But even such testimony was not needed. The proof of the fact abounds in the cur rent price of our Southern staples in the. great commercial marts of . the world, and'' especially in the whole industrial and com mercial condition of the insurgent region. It should not be forgotten that no circum stance is wanting to attest the magnitude of this greatest of all.naval triumphs. The industrial necessities and commercial cu pidity of all the principal maritime nations, armed and empowered as they . are by the resources of modern invention, are kept at bay. A multitude of island harbors under foreign jurisdiction, looking nearly upon our shores, and affording 'the most conve nient lurking places from which illicit own mem may leap forth to its prohibited des tination and purpose, are so closely watch ed as to reader the peril of all such ven tures far greater than even their enormous gains when successful. And, finally, a vast line of sea-coast., nearly three thou sand miles in extent, much of it with a double shore, and almost honey-combed with inlets and harbors, has been so be leaguered and locked up that the whole immense foreign commerce, which was the very life of the industry and opulence of the vast region which it borders, has prac tically ceased to exist. THE NAVAL WORCIE. When I entered upon the discharge of my public duties as the head . of this De partmenti,in March, 1861, there were but forty-two 'vessels in commission, and, as stated in my last annual report, but seven ty-six vessels then attached to the navy have been made available. Most of those in commission were abroad, and of the seven thousand six hundred seamen in the pay of the Government, there were on the 10th of March, 1861, but two hundred and seven men in all the ports and receiving ship :ton the Atlantic coast to man our ships and protect the navy yards and depots,:or to aid in suppressing the rising rebellion. Neither the expiring Administration nor Congress, which had been in session'until the 4th of March, had taken, measures to increase or strengthen our naval power, notwithstanding the lowering aspect of our publio affairs; so that when a few weeks after the inauguration I desired troops for the protection of the public property at Norfolk and Annapolis, or sailors to man and 'remove the vessels, neither soldiers nor sailors could be procured. There were no men , to man our ships, nor were the few ships at our yards in a condition to be put into immediate service. The proclamation of April, placing our entire coast from the mouth of the Chesa peake. to the Rio. Grande under blockade, found us with a naval force, even were every,' vessel on our coast, inadequate to the work required. I hive in my former reports at the spe cial session in July, 1861, and in December • last, made full exposition of the steps which were promptly taken to recall our foreign squadrons and the progress, which had been made in augmenting our navy by re pairing and fitting, as expeditiously as pos sible, every available vessel owned by the Government, by purchasing such others as could be made speedily useful in guarding our shallow and peculiar coast, and by rapidly constructing as many steamers as could be built at our navy yards, and em ploying, to the extent that we could pro cure materials, engines and machinery, the resources of the country in adding others from private ship-yards., The result is, that we have at this time afloat, or progressing to rapid completion, a naval force of four hundred and twenty-sevet vessels, there having been added to those of the old navy enumerated in my report of July, 1861, ex clusive of those that were lost, three hun dred and fifty-three vessels, armed-in the aggregate with fifteen hundred and seven ty-seven guns, and of the capacity of 240,- 028 tons. The annals of the world do not show so great an increase in so brief a - period to the naval power of any country. It affords me satisfaction to state that the acquisitions made to the navy from the eommercial marine have proved to be of an excellent character, and though these vessels were not built for war purposes, and consequently have not the strength of war vessels, they have performed all the service that was expected of them. No equal amount of tonnage was ever procured for any service at prices correspondingly low, and with so little distut bancetto the commercial community ; ands no`- `vesselst 4 ' were ever constructed on better terms for the government, or have better subserved the purposes for - which they were designed, than the twenty-three gunboats for which the Department contracted on its own re sponsibility at the commencement of hos tilities, without waiting for the action of Congrese. In no respect, during this war,, has the' government been better or more economically and faithfully served than in the addition that have ,- been ',made by, construction and purchase to the navy.. In order that actual condition of the navy, past and present, , from March 4, 1861, to November,lB62, and the expansion which has been made may be Been, I pre sent a tabular statement of the number of veasele,and the aggregate of their arma ment and tonnage, with a detailed account of the losses that hare occurred' Since my last annual report. [We omit the tabular statement. The losses have been eleven vessels, viz : The `:frigate Congress and sloop Cumberland, in action with the Merrimac ; the steamer Varuna and mortar schooner, M. J. Carl ton, in action below New. Orleans; steamer It. B. Forbes, wrecked; steamer Whitehall, burnt, mortar schooner S. C.

'8,268 ' 240,038 IRON-OLAD V 88881.8.; Total The attention of •the Department was PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1862. turned to the subject of iron-clad vessels immediately after the commencement of hostilities, and the adoption of measures for the enlargement of the navy. It was a subject.full of difficulty and doubt. Ex periments upon a large scale of expense, both in England and France, if not result ing in absolute failure, had achieved but a limited and questionable Buenas. Yet it was evident that a new and material ele ment in maritime warfare was developing itself, demanded immediate attention. In this view I recommended to Congress, at its extra session on the 4th of July, 1861, the whole Subject, and asked authority to organize a commission for investigation. Thirty days after this action on my part, Congress conferred the authority requested, and appropriated fifteen hundred thousand dollars for the construction of one or more iron-clad vessels upon such models as should receive the approval of the Department. On the day after the law had been approved the commission was constituted, and the Department advertised for proposals. Of the various plane and propositions submit tea, three vessels of 'different models were recommended by the Board, which received the approval of the Department. Contracts were forthwith made for constructing the Monitor, the Galena, and the Ironsides. All of these vessels are n.iw in the service. C. * * * * * * Whatever success may attend the large and costly armored ships of the Warrior class, which are being constructed by some of the maritime Powers of Europe, cruising in deep waters, they can scarcely cause alarm here, for we have within the United States few harbors that are accessible to thorn, and for those few the Governmen Iran always be prepared whenever a foreign war is imminent. It has been deemed ad visable, however, that , we should have a few large sized armed cruisers, of great speed, for ocean , service, as well as of the class of smaller vessels for coastwise and defensive operations. In the construction of iron-clad's of the Monitor class, the nau tical qualities of the vessel have not been the governing object, for with light draft and heavy armament high speed is not at tainable. But they are adapted to the shallow waters of our coast and harbors, few of which are accessible to vessels of great magnitude. While the larger ar mored vessels, with their heavy arma ment, cannot nearly approach our shores, those of the Monitor class can penetrate even the inner waters, rivers, harbors, and bayous of our extended and double coast. WESTERN DEPOT ♦ND.ESTABLIBIIHENT It will Le advisable at an early period to establish a naval depot , on one of the rivers in the valley of the Mississippi, where we now have a squadron equal in numbers to the whole navy of the United States at the commencement of this Administration. The want of an establishment in that quar ter where vessels may be constructed, arm ed, and armored, equipped and repaired, has been severely felt, and in the absence of such an establishment the Department has been compelled to resort to expedients that may have been sometimes disad vantageous. For an iron navy the great rivers of the West• are well adapted, and the immense resources in iron and coal that are distrib uted throughout that region indicate what must be the undoubted policj of the Gov ernment at no distant period in relation to such an establishment. The time may not have arrived when the selection of a per manent location for a navy-yard and foundry shall be made, but it must be in the near future, and until then the depart- ment will be dependent in a great degree on private establishments and such tempo rary arrangements as can be secured. Abstract of the . Report of the Seereo Lary of the Treasury. WariniNgroar, Dec.'s.—The following ex traots from. the Seoretary of the Treasury's report show the estimated receipts and ex penditures for the year ending Jane 30th, 1884, framed an the supposition of -the con tinuance of the war : For the Civil List, including foreign inter course and misoellancous expenses other than on account of the public debt, $20,081,510 08. For the Interior Department, Indians and Pensions, $103,465,577 OL. For the War De partment, $738,829,146 80. For the Navy Department, $68,257,255 -01. For interest on public debt, $33,513,890 50. . For principal of public debt, $19,384,804 16. Total, $895,413,- 183 56. To which sum should be added the expenditures for which appropriations 'made, are estimated as remaining undrawn .on the Ist July, 1863, $200,000,000 ; making the aggregate of expenditures to the Ist July, 1864, for which appropriations are made or asked, $1,095,413,183 56. From which should be deducted the probable amount of appro priations which will remain undrawn on the Ist July, 1864, $250,000,000; making the true amount of probable expenditure during the fiscal year of 1864, $845,413,183 N. The estimates of receipts are as follows : From customs $70,000,000; from internal du ties $150,000,000 ; from lands $25,000; from miscellaneous sources s 3,ooo,ooo— waking the aggregate of receipts for the fiscal year, 1864, to be deducted from the aggregate of expenditures, $223,025,000 • and leaving the amount of expenditures Of the fiscal year, 1864, to be provided for, $622,388,183 56. The whole amount to be provided by Con gress, beyond the resources available under existing laws, may, therefore, upon the sup position of the continuance of the war, be stated as follows : Fbr the fiscal. year, 1883, $276,912,517 86; for the fiscal year, 1864, $622,388,183 56—making an aggregate of $899,300,701 22 The report considers the results that may be reasonably expected frouran act authoriz ing the' - organisation of banking associations, such as proposed in his last report. The cen tral idea of the'preposed measure, is the es tablishment of one sound uniform circulation of equal value throughout the'country, upon the foundation of national' credit, cosubiued with private capital:. SuSh a,ouirenoy, it is believed, clan be secured through banking . Aar sotiationi, organized under national legisla tion. It is proposed that these aseociations be entirely -voluntary. Any .persons desirous - of employing real capital, in sufaoient amounts, eau, if the , plan be adopted, unite together, under proper articles, and having contributed the requisite capital, can invest such part of it, not less than the fixed mini mum in United Stites bonds, and having de posited these bonds with the proper .officers of the United States can receive United States notes in such denominations as maybe desired, and . employ them as money in dis counts and exChanges. The stockholders of any existing banks can, in: like Manner, or ganize under the act and transfer by such de grees as may be found convenient, the capital of the old to the nee of the new association,. The notes thus put into cipulatiOn will be payable until the resumption in United States notes, and after resumption, in specie by the association, whisk issues them on demand, - and if not so paid will be redeemable at the TreaSury of the United States from the pro ceeds 'of the bondi pledged in security. It will be easily understood, however, if ,it be considered, that a goisernment jamming *credit circulation, cannot supply,-in any given pe riod, an amount of currency greater than the excess of, its diebiarsenients over its receipts, To that amount it may create a debt in, small notes t and these notes 'may be; used as curren cy. _ This is precia4ly- the-Ipr* whtek.the:' existing currency of theiUnited Slates notes Is supplied. That portion 'of. the' expenditure, not met by revenue or loans, has' been met by the issue of these notes.. Debts in this form hav_theeisjinbetituted'for-viiiimie'detWin other forms. Whenever, therefore;.thei), ountry shall be restored to a healthy normal condition, and the receipts exceed the-expenditures, the sup ' ply 'of Milted Stites' hates will be - arrested .and must progressively diminish. Whatever demand may , be made for -their redemption in coin must hasten' thie and there can be. no re:-issue, for re-isette -under the ConstitutionnecesSarityimiiliesdisbarsereent, and the revenue upon 'the supposition sup plies more than is needed for that purpose. . There is then no mode in - which a currency in United States notes can be permanently main taioed except by loans of 'them when not re quired for disbursement on deposits of coin or pledge of securities, or in some other way. This would convert the. Treostiry into a gov ernment bank, with all its misehiefe and haz ards. All changes, howeverimportint, should be introduced with 'caution, and proceeded in with a careful regard to every affected inter-' est. Bash innovation is not less dangerous then stupefied inaction. • The time -has oome when *circulation of United States notes, in some form, must be employed. The people demand uniformity in currency, and claim at least part of the bone • fit of debt without interest made into money, •!: 'hitherto enjoyed exclusively by the banks. 14,175 — These demands are just and,must be respected. . 255,961 But there need be no sudden C hinge there 24 ° ,666 • need be no hiutful interference with existing interests._ As yet Cho Ursitedttates notsreir .artnienf . °dation ;oin' MIS the libriam caused by 40 108 28,544 the temporary withdrawal of coin ; it does not, perhaps, fully meet the demand for In creased circulation created by the increased number, variety and activity of payments in money. There is opportunity, therefore, for the wise and beneficial regulation of its sub stitution for other circulation. The mode of substitution also may be judiciously adapted to actual circumstances.. The plan suggested consults both purposes. It contemplates the gradual withdrawal of bank note circulation, and proposes a United States note circulation furnished to banking associations, in the advantages of which they may participate in full proportion to the care and responsibility assumed, and the services performed by them. The promptitude and zeal with which many of the existing institu tions came to the financial support of the gov ernment in the dark day's which followed the outbreak of the rebellion, is not forgotten. They ventured largely, boldly and patriotic ally on the side of the Union and the Consti tutional supremacy of the nation of States and citizens. It does not at all detract from the merit of the act, that the losses which they feared, but unhesitatingly risked, were transmuted into unexpected gains. It is a solid recommendation of the suggested plan that it offers the opportunity to these and kindred institutions to reorganize, continue their business under the proposed act, and with little loss and much advantage partici pate in maintaining the new and uniform na tional currency. The proposed plan is recommended, finally, by the firm anchorage it will supply to the. Union. Every individual who holds a dollar of the circulation secured by such deposit, every merchant, every manufacturer, every farmer, every mechanic interested in transactions de pendent for success on the credit of that cir culation, will feel as an injury any attempt to rend the national unity, with the permanence and stability of which all their interests, are so closely and vitally connected. Had the system been possible, and had it aotually ex isted two years ago, Gan it be doubted that the national interests and sentiments enlisted by it for the Union would have strengthened the motives for adhesion derived from other sources that the wild treason of secession would have been impossible. Report of the Ordnance Department. The report of Captain Dahlgren, ef the Ordnance Department, is long but interest ing; since it contains a full resume of the ex-' periments in-gunnery and naval armor , made up to the present time. In the sententious ness of its style it is somewhat unique as a public document, almost every line containing the statement of a hard fact or a solid infer ence. The report opens by referring to our deficiency in the supply of nitro at one time, which would have been attended with serious consequences, had the Trent quarrel ripened into an international conflict. Since then it has been the constant endeavor of the De= partment to keep a full , supply constantly on hand. The establishment of depots for the reception an' storage of nitre at certain points in both the East and West is -recom mended. In noticing the introduction of shells in naval warfare, the report observes. that the Merrimac class of frigates armed with a en- Porior class of guns to the light Paixhans, • the advantage of whiob is that our 9 and 1.1.-inoh guns are found to be Ina measure available against iron plating, because they will endure solid shot fired with-one-half greater and even double their original charges." We have thus leisure to consider and adopt the best of the improved styles re cently presented. Following a history of the introduction of mail-clad vessels,' the report accepts vessels of the Monitor and Irunside classes, as likely to serve the present purposes sufficiently well, giving time for the collection of data that. shall light our way to• the preparation of the beat means of defense. The obstacles in the way of heavier plating than four or five inch es, combined with gillis'of sufficient calibre and high speed at sea, are pointed out, and the conclusion oceepted that "offence, has de cidedly the advantage, and., that no i ses - going ship is considered to be "so irmOriidnia to be impregnable to artillery." But though the recent experiments in England prove that the heaviest sheathing may be pierced with.solid shot, and even shells, yet"it would be unwise to rash to the conclusion that armor is need less, for even against suck cannon, a ship may delay the conclusive difficulty long enough to make its own guns of avail, and when opposed to any but the heaviest pieces will be, in effect impregnable." The case of the Monitor and Merrimac is referred to in this connection. It is thought that the guns used in the latter were. princi pally 32-pounders, which would be too light to take any effect on tier antagonist. On the other hand, had • the Monitor used wrought instead of cast-iron shot, with the, ordinary. charges of fifteen pounds of Powder, their in itial velocity would have been about seventy feet per second less, and the effect of thetblow lessened to that extent. A very common opinion has been that the wrought: iron balls, which LientenentWorden was forbidden 'to' use, would have Sunk the Merrimac. Capt. • Dahlgren thinks differently. But, he adds,. the Monitor's guns were capable of being fired with charges as high as thirty pounds, which should have been used in ease of -.a second trial. One advantage possessed by the turret class of vessels is, unlike armed vessels proper, the sheathing is not merely attached to the Ship, taxing its strength at every tarn, but is made to contribute to the general strength 'of the , whole fabric. In the Warrior Clads this fax on their strength "will probably be such as to impair their capacity for endurance and in-the end unfit the ship for battle." They have the additional advantage of having a proper sphere in the less troubled waters of our rivers and harbors than, the open seas which sur round England and other maritime countries. On the eubject of rifled as compared, with emooih-bore guns, we extract the folloviiig paragraphs from the report : 1. The rifled shot when moving correctly ie the more accurate to first gram:, though not materially so at moderate distanoes—say 1,300 to 1,500 yards. Beyond a mile its advantage in this respent is very marked. 2. But after enoduntering any object its defieotions are of the most erratic description, audit generally tumbles over so as to nullify its force, and render its subsequent direction, . beyond conjecture. Wherefore the' rifled shot has' no capasity for ricoot et, whicih- is one of the-most certain modes of operating, with the round projectiles in naval servioe; and is of the utmost impor tance, because so many shot fall short and' strike the water:fret. •.: = ; • • = = • 2.

She was emphatically the, friend of: the poor and distressed.- In her life she was lovely, and those who knew her best, loved her most. - During the most of Mrs. Barnett's life, it -was her 'privilege to enjoy almost uninterrupted health. mouth or two before her decease, she was attacked with pleurisy, superinduced by waiting on a sicktidster, who we trust is now in heaven.

With him the war is over, the victory won, and he has gone to enjoy the triumph. Since the 20th year of his age, he has been a brother be loved in the Presbyterian church of Leechburg, Pa. And during the last three years of his life he served the church with great acceptance in the office of the Ruling Eldership. A faithful soldier of the Cross, he, in Angust last, became a soldier of his country. He en tered the army as Ist Lieut. Co. C., 139th Reg't P. V. But his career in camp life was short; his work was done, his sufferings over. The Master came and called for him. " All is well." His diary bespeaks a heart resting on a God he loved. His calm reply, when told of death's ap proach, " Well, I am in my Saviour's arms," told of triumphant, faith. But his every-day life, in the relations he sustained to God and his Church, to the family and the world, gave surest evidence . of grace. "By their fruits ye .shall know them." He ier missed, sadly missed. A widowed mother, a brother, and sisters; deeply mourn the loss of one;who, though young, had long filled a departed-father's place in the family. And the church, the eldership, the pastor, all feel smit ten sorely. But Jesus lives, and loves that fant ily, and loves that Zion still. Brother, " There is rest for: thee:" . EDGWORTR SEMINARY:.
