The publisher Of the Sentinel was elected
yesterday the Printer of the Senate of the
United States by vote which was very graft
flying and complimentary. He hopes, by dill
gent attention to his duties to discharge them
with fidelity to the public interest and to the
full and entire satisfaction of the Senate
The course of the Sentinel will be directed,
as hitherto, with an eye single to the principles
Of the democratic faith, for which it has so
warmly contended. In the performance of of:
fetal duty the publisher of the Sentinel win
know no party; but he will make it his earnest
study to discharge promptly and faithfully the
trust of the office to which he has been elected.
With no intention to be invidious, the pub
Usher of the Sentinel expresses his warmest
Acknowledgements to those members of the
Senate, by whose votes this distinguished mark
Of confidence has been conferred upon him by
the highest legislative body in the country.

AMOS b. CoRwINE, ESQ.

\ commendatory notice copied III the Ma
tioaGt Lateiiigenccr from the Panama Herald,
has attracted our attention to the fact that the
gentleman whose narue heads this paragraph,
deserves alike our attention. We can say, from
the best authority, that Mr.. Corwine, though
the occupant Of IN Office under the late admin.
istration, has retired from it with the high re-
gard of every gentleman who may have had
official intercourse with him. We are inform
ed of the various sacrifices he has made in re-
ieving the innumerable emigrants who have
passed the sthmus on their way to that glorious
western State, California. When they were max
ed, he clothed them; when they were thirsty, he
gave them drink when hungry, he fed them
Therefore we copy with great pleasure the sub
joined notice, republished in the National In
tclligeacer from the Panama Herald:
We cannot permit the occasion of the re-
trement of AMOS b. CoRwlSE, Esq, from the
office of United States consul in this city to
pass unnotieed and unremarked During the
time Mr.. CoRwlNE held the important and one
rots Office entrusted to him by his government,
he has faithfully, strictly, and courteously dis,
charged Its duties, and under the most trying
circumstances and in positions of no ordinary
difficulty he has invariably succeeded, not only
in maintaining the honor of his country and
the dignity of his office, but in gaining the re-
spect and esteem of all parties with whom his
official duties brought him in connexion. Very
few persons, except those who have actually
rituessru II, ran Imagine the numerous calls
made upon the time and patience of the Ameri-
can consul during the continuance of the great
Californian immigration in 1850 and 1851 the
difficulties he was called upon to settle, the
differences he was referred to to adjust,
and the important points of international
and commercial law upon which he was
called upon to give a decision. Fewer
still can form any idea of the innumer-
able private demands made upon Mr.. CoRwINE
by his distressed countrymen, and the numbers
whom he assisted in their distress. In private
life his affabiity, courtesy, and hospitality are
SO well known that we need not expatiate upon
them, the more SO as we know that it would be
displeasing to Mr.. CoRwINE. We might say q
great deal more than we have done, but we
could not say less. 1t affords us sincere pleas
ure to pay this tribute to Mr.. CoRwINE as the
representative of nation so nearly connected
with our own; and we conclude by applying
to him the words he SO appropriately used upon
the occasion of presenting the testimonial to
Governor Roldan, swell done, thou good and
faithful servant! t!"-Panama Herald

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
WAR.

We commence this morning the publication
OF the report of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, Sec
retary Of War. We regret that we cannot pub
lish the whole of it in the same paper. The
length, however, renders that impossible.
1t is an able paper, and contains many valu-
able suggestions for reorganizing and improv-
ing the army. There are abuses in the army
rs well as in the navy. The Secretary recon-
mends an increase Of the army. The author
lied strength Of the army is 1887, officers and
men; the actual strength is only l0,4l7. Oh
this number s,378 are employed in the frontier
departments. The Secretary thinks that q
force three times as large as our present army
would be inadequate to guard the many points
on our extended frontier, so as entirely to pre-
vent all Indian depredations.
The same difficulty of getting men exists in
the army as in the navy. This is attributable
TO two principal causes.
lst. TIE disparity between the pay Of the
soldier and the value of labor in civil life.
ID The fact that length of service carries
with it no reward, either in increased pay, rank,
or privilege.
To obviate these difficulties, the secretary
proposes, and in our Judgment, very properly
proposes, an increase Of the pay of soldiers,
and an additional increase for each successive
period Of FIVE years, so long as they shall re-
main in the army; and provision for the pro-
motion to the lowest grade of commissioned Of
iicers, of such of the non-commissioned officers
as may by character, conduct, and services, be
qualified for and entitled to such promotion.
1t is also proposed that authority be given to
The President to confer the brevet of second
lieutenant, on such as by examination before
an army board, may be found to be qualified
for it. who shall be attached to the army as su-
pernumeraries and be promoted as cadets under
like circumstances are. He proposes that such
meritorious non-commissioned officers as are
not fitted by education for such promotion, be
provided for by appointments as foft,keepers,
barrack masters, DC.
We presume that no one can find the slight.
est ground of complaint in respect to these
recommendations. Indeed they seem to us to
be of such singular merit, as to command the
appreciation Of the whole country. There is as
well sound policy as humanity in them. This
is the kind Of progress which we desire to see.
This is the kind Of progress which the demo
cratic party mean to carry out. Such mea-
sures as are proposed by the Sease.aries of
War and Navy, are measures of marked and
manifest utility and improvement. They look
rs well TO the efficient organization OF those
Two arms Of the public service, as TO just and
generous provision by the government for the
men who fight its battles and constitute its de-
fences. We have not the available space, nor
indeed are we at this time prepared to follow
the secretary in all his suggestions and recon-
rnendations--nor is IL necessary to do so. This
report is before the country, and all can read il
for themselves. 1t affords US pleasure TO com
mend it TO the attention Of our readers. 1t ],
