The U. y. snnItrry Commission.

The Sanitary Commissions Report of their
operations embrace information OF great and
permanent value, though necessarily too vol
umious,
The Commission has furnished supplies to l l6
regmental and 10 general hospital i'll Washing
ton and vacinity. Thousands of articles of all
sorts, worth $500, have been distributed daily Oh
an average, to the Potomac army, The whole
value Of distribution there in November was
$Il coo, and in the whole army $50 600.
In more than three-quarters of the regiments
native Americans are in the majority, The
Germans are in the majority in only six. The
Irish in only five out of hundred. Nearly two
thirds of the army are Americans. Nine tenths
are citizens. The average age of prlTates is
over "a years. Three-toWthS are single men.
Five men in hundred are without blankets,
mos probably having worn theirs out. quar-
ter OF the blankets are of poor quality. The
men are generally well provided; if not, it is
the consequence of their own carelessness, or
the gross negligence of officers. The men are
almost universally satisfied with their rations,
both in quality and quantity.
Captains now uniformly draw for rations, and
generally in proper form. The cooking is great
ly improved. About forty per cent. of the regi
ments there form company funds Three
months ago only one regiment of the volunteers
did. In eight out of the twenty regiments the
suffers charge fixed prices.
They are generally exorbitant The army
regulations on the subject are uniformcly dis
regarded There is little drunkenness except
on pay day, and leave of absence there is less
than in other armies. There is too much gamb-
ling after payday. In seven-elghts of the reg
iments there are competent surgeons
The health of the volunteers is not good
as that of the regulars, The average number
of sick in the whole army is II in 900. The
average deaths monthly is in 1000.

Rebel Property 80 be Seized.

Secretary Chase of the Treasury has issued
an important order, in reference to the seizure
and disposal of the property of rebels. This
order would seem to show that we are really
moving in the right direction, and to some pur
pose against the rebellion in its very home.
The chief features OF the order alluded to are
these:
The Secretary of the Treasury is to appoint
agents, who shall reside at such ports or places
in the territory Of the Rebels as are now or may
hereafter be occupied by the National troops
the grand duty of these agents shall be to gath
er and prepare for market the crops grown in
the regions under their supervision. In this
work the military and naval forces OF the United
States shall aid by giving protection. More.
over, all slaves found within the limit of the
agents authority may be and are to be by him
employedin gathering and preparing for market
the cotton and other crops lists OF the names,
sex, age, and general condition Of the slaves TO-
gether with the names Of Their alleged owners,
are to be kept by the agent; the slaves so en-
rolled will be set to work in systematic man.
ner, and strict account of their labor kept, for
which tair rate of compensation will be paid.
record OF all products and all stock taken pos
session OF viii also be kept, that of each plan
t%.laC y itself; and when the packages are
shipped they are to be so mari ed that they can
he easily distinguished. When the cotton and
other articles are prePered for MAJ ket they shall
De shipped to New York, consigned to the ies-
lgnated agent there. This ordeg, which comes
In logical sequence after the success Of the /
petition, VIA be with alacuTy iudorsed IN all
It's provisions by the people Of the North, who
desire ana iejOice in enlightened progress.
