Report of the Secretary of War.

The Secretary of War, (Hon. jeff.
Davis, J urges increased compensation to
Army officers, and revision of the law
respecting their allowances. Also that
the provision of the last Congress, in
creasing the pay of the rank and file, be
extended 10 all enlisted men. Also, an
increase of medical corps, and the addi-
tion of five military store,keepers, He
recommends judicious continuance of
sea coast defences, and especially reneWs
the suggestion for the fortifying of Ship
Island to defend the approaches to New.
Orleans. He presents also a neat and
forcible argument in favor Of the Pacific
Railroad, as means of National defence
but avoids recommending its construc-
d'u by G yernment aid, though he dis
tinctly ntimates a dsp sition to favor
such aid He shows the actual strength
of the army to be fifteen thousand seven
hundred and fity.two men. Enfistments
during the last twelve months, ten thou
sand five hundred and forty six; enlist.
mentS refused, twenty thousand five hun.
dred and twenty-five; number of casual.
ties, five thousand Eve hundred. Dispo-
sition of the troop remains pretty much
rs stated in last annual report.

Melancholy raAnaltV,

John M. Floyd, Esq, the Sheriff, Of
Hooking county, was accidentally killed
in Logan, on Saturday evening last. The
circumstances of his death were of the
most painful nature, and have casta shade Of
g gloom overhiS numerous circle Of friends,
who exist wherever he was known. We
are informed his death occurred thus; he
stepped out upon the street in the evening
accompanied by friend, and was engaged
IN conversation, when his attention was
called to team of horses attached to some
kind of a vehicle, running violently down
the street. The other gentleman stepped
out of the way Mr.. Floyd attempted to
do 50, when, his foot caught on some OBJ
stacle, throwing him back, just as the We
hicle striking him on the top of the head,
his skull in such manner as to
cause his instant death.
Mr.. Floyd was all able and efficient pub
lic officer and a most valuable citizen, and
his losswill be severely felt,-Athens Mes

Hon. O. F. Moore has written letter
to the editor of the Portsmouth Tribune
in which he intimates that his course in
the House, relative to the cection of
speaker, is governed by the positive know
ledge that there are ulterior designs upon
the American party in the election of
Banks, but what those designs are, he
does not reveal. There may be 'cat
concealed under the heap of NEAL but
we have never been able TO discover that
Mr. Banks was not as devoted to the
northern view of Americansm as any
member upon that floor. Mr. Moore, it
appears, regards the presence of Horace
Greeley with considerable suspicion, as
the wire-worker for the Banks men, and
seems to oppose his election because
Greeley favors it. We confess it is well
to watch close :he outside influences
brought to bear upon the question, and
we have confidence in the judgment and
integrity of MIR. Moore in guarding the
interests of his constituents, and Of the
American party generally.

Great Engineering Works in India.

The Government have recently construc-
ted an immense weir across The Godavrey
river in Madras, for collecting and distri-
buting water for the purposes of irrigation.
Canals or conduits are built, to distribute
the water for irrigation. Canals or con-
duits are built, to distribute the water for
the immense area of 100000
acres. The water will be supplied at the
rate of 100000 cubic yards for about four
dollars, or about one.thirtieth the price
which it costs the natives to draw It by
Understanding to the old plan. :
Severe drouths take place in sections of
the Madars territory every few years, and
famipes are sure to follow. This great
work will be the meaps of benefting the
people on the delta of that river beyond all
calculation, as it is believed that their crops
will hereafter be multiplied seventy-fold by
such an abundant water supply.-Sciea

The Niagara railway suspension bridge
that triumph of engineering-is now
completed. When first projected it was
declared by no less an authority than Rob-
ert Stephenson to be impracticable: and
even when its construction was somewhat
advanced he gave it as his opinion that.
though light carriages might pass over. it
would inevitably break down beneath the
weight of a railway train. The most ps-
culiar fact just now is that the engineering
world now declare that, bad the same
principle of construction been applied q
few years ago, the Britannia tubular bridge
over the Straits of Menai, in England, BY
Stephenson, might have been dispensed
with, and the end be accomplished atone,
