Of those cases IN which public opinion points
its finger to a particular person and de-
mands his selection and we are much mis-
taken if those who are known to have been
least friendly to The late Secretary of War
will not find as great officially as any in the
selection of his successor. The appointment
to be made, to tie Head Of this department
is at this moment Of vast importance to the
interests Of the country and the character Of
our government; and the times, eventful as
they are. render more than usually difficult
selection, already sufficiently so from the
rarity with which we find military knowledge
and talent combined with capacity for the
cabinet, and these requisites with that sort
of local distribution which seems to be
thought necessary in the disposal Of the great
Offices of tho state. Re the man whom he

GEN. TUPPEKS EXPEDITION.
The recent achievement BY Gen Tuprc I, o
the second army OF Ohio, at the rapids Of lie
Miami of the Lake, having produced ccusi6c-
rabie satisfaction We have tsken some pairs
to procure the particulars. For the follow ~
brief statement of facts, we are indebted To- -
ENcelleecy Gov. Meigs. We publish it wits
pleasure, because the illberality Of some ofths
hen,uckians, has been so lavishly bestowed on
Gen. upper and the Ohio volunteers under his
commanu, that our eastern brethren have view
ed that gentleman and his little force as cum
brous body of militia, inaexibly stubborn, and
too proud to submit to subordnatioH
From the Information which Gen. Topper
bad extorted from Capt Clark, who was taken
prisoner by his spies, he determined to march
immediately TO the rapids, to cut oirthe retreat
OF the enemy at that place. He accordingly
marched on the 10th inst. with 694 men, fur
nished with fivc days provision. When he ar
rived at the rapids, he formed his men into
hollow square, and informed them of his de-
termipatio- 70 ford tie river and attack the
enemy-an's, IT in tue attempt, they observed
ann shrink from his duty, requested that they
would make Limtheir FIRST sacrifice The Gen.
then plunged in,o the river, and was followed
by the whole OF his command. TT consequence
OF the velocity of the current which had riser
considerable, and The numerous fiss,,rcs in the
rock, OF which the bed of that river is compo-
seq, not more than $50 OF his force were ena-
bld to cross. A great portion however, be-
lnlc IN eminent danger OF ,.rowning he pr;l-
IDENTITY rctreaied. The snos was about TWO
| inches deep, and cold y. ". wind, operated
AGAINST the judicious plans of Gen. Topper.
| The men were hardy out of TIE water before
their cloathing WIS frozen on thcir bodies but
they were neither heard to n,urmur nor COM
PLAIN. Gen. upper now found il iinpractica-
DC To hight the enemy their own ground.
lie therefore had one of his batt.licns formed
on the beach, for the purpose ofdecoyirg them.
rms stratagem had the desired efieci--a con-
| siderable body, chiefly mounted on excellent
horses, crossed over and commenced an en-
gagoment, which terminated in their defeat,
Many OF their wounded We're placed on horses
| ana Carried over the river and mary others
whiic re crossing were fired on, and were seen
to tumble oil their horses into the stream
One OF general i,upPe,'s men WAS wounded in
the action. The enemy left hind them FIJI

soidicrs-The enemy was Commanded B., Split

Col Elliott accompanied them, but like pru.
dent man, kept himself cut of danger. Four of
our men, out OF ten, wao had iBnprudently ven
tured from the ranks, contrary to orders in
pursnit % hogs, were killed by psgt OF the
enemy, which lay in ambush.

Amounting altogether to 8 31,9c5, oco
The receipts on account of
the revenue having been esti-
mated at 1900. 900
Leaves balance to be pro-
vided fer by loans of 1885 600
OF this sum more than one million is al
ready contracted for, and their remains on
hand balance of about million and half
IN treasury notes not yet disposed of. An
authority to issue new notes for about two
millions and q half more. being the amount
reimburseablc in 1918, will still keep the
whole amount issued at FIVE millions, and
reduce the amount of the loan to about fifteen
millions of dollars.
In order to facilitate the loan, and per-
haps to improve its terms, it may however
be eligible 10 leave some discretion in the
executive as to the respective amounts of
notes TO be issued which may be advan-
tageously varied according to circumstances
without encreasng the aggregate of both.
The preceding estimates do not embrace
the expenCe incident To the proposed en-
crease ofthe navy, nor any other expcndi-
ture notyet authorised by law. In order to
meet any new expenses which may thus be
authorised by Congress, it will therefore be
necessary to encrease the loan to CORES
pondlnS amount.
The sums received or to be received on
lean during the calendar year 1912 have
been stated at 1880, 200
The payments on account of the
principaICf the debt during the
same year, though not yet precise
~ ascertained. may be estimated
$50 far as ascertained on tho 1st Of
Dec. at the treasury at 2.55o.2So
Making the actual encrease of
debt during that year 10000. 600
1t appears, according to the preceding es-
innate, that the whole sum to be borrowed
during the year 1918, will amount to about
% millions Of dollars and that the pay
mc1is on account of the principal Of the
public debt will exceed millions making
tic actual increase of debt during that year
g Is 100000.
t)i The revenue which will accrue during
tic year 1915, and ON which the receipts of
the year 1914 will principally depend, it is
not practicable at this moment, to form a
correct estimate. SO far as may be refer
red from the experience of the short peri
od which has elapsed since the declaration
of war, 1t is not probable that the revenue
derived from customs will exceed The n
mount Of 8 100000 at which it had been
estimated ~ a former cOmmunication.--
The duties accrued, or which will accrue,
during The last months Of this year, after
dcducting drawbacks and cxpences nf col
lection, arc estimated at less than 1000 600
doNs. which, dcducting about 5,50O,00O on
account of duties on tie late importations
from Great Britain, and one million for the
duties on importations from Calcutta and
China, would not leave more than 100000
