The Report or che 0scrstary Of war.
The report Of Mr.. Cameron, which we puhlish.
ed yesterday, Is an excellent State paper. 1t Is
short, clear and comprehensive. II sbounds
with pertinent facts, and it's style is lucid. In
the history of war, perhaps, there is nothing
more extraordinary than the rapidly with
which go vast q number Of troops have been
placed at the disposal of the government in q
country where no regular army existed, all
volunteers, and with the free will offerings of
ten millions of dollars to sustain them. The
total force now in the field IL 100000. Deduct
$4,000 for three months volunteers, and there
will still be an army of 230000-greater than
that with which Napoleon the Great shattered
into pieces the armies of the Powers of Europe
which combined against him. Louis Napoleon
commanded 100000 men OF the battle Of Sol
ferino, and the Austrians had 10000. The
result of that battle decided the fate of Italy
and of Austria. When General Scott Is ready
to advance upon Richmond he can bring o
greater force to that point than conquered the
Austrians in Italy, and the result will be equally
decisive az to the fate ofsecesson and it's leaders,
This force, however, 1t is proposed by the Presi-
dent to raise to 400, 900 men; and Senator Wilson
has introduced measure to organize National
Guard of 100 900 men, all uniformed alike,
and to be substitute for a standing army,
the officers to be chosen by the men of the
regiments, subject to the appreciation of a
board Of officers, who may reject for incompe-
tency-s provision which will secure good
commanders and prevent political influence
from operating to the detriment of the force.
The following are the estimates of the expen-
ditures, In addition to the appropriations for
the year ending June 80, 1861, for the troops
now in the field, or to be called into it within

tomary resolutions. adopted. In the Senate the
Standing Committees were announced by the Vice
President. The bill to promote the efficiency OF
the army was referred to a special committee Of
nine, of which Mr.. Wilson is chairman. The re-
naming war bills were referred to the appropriate
Standing Committee. The first subject that will
engage the attention of Congress is joint resoIu-

HUMBUGS In HEAVEN AND ON EARTH What
with the long tail of the comet, bewilderipg
ell the women into dire fears of being dashed
OF from mother earth into chaos, and the
quackeries of DR.. Newton, our good people
have quite enough 10 amuse themselves with
as the reign of the dog star approaches. Last
year we had the famous embassy from Japan,
which kept the country agape for weeks, only
to be succeeded by the monstrcus steamship
which satisfied the appetite of quidnuncs for .
month or 60 more. Then came along the Prince
of Wales, who, from Halifax to the tomb Of
Washington, was watched by strainiDg eyes
and anxious hearts, as though the future well
fare of the republic depended from the breath Of
his nostrils. We are become quite satiated with
excltements, novelties and humbugs so that
they do not produce 1.-THE of their legitimate
effect. Good old Charles ", three centuries
ago, concluded from q much less flaming celes-
tial visiter than that which we nightly behold
In the northwestern armament, that the world
was coming to IA end, and embarrassed by the
convulaions created by the Lutheran secession
movement in the empire, incontine ntly retired
into monastery. Old Abe Lincoln shows no
signs Of initiating this example out of By
gone age. He sticks to the Presidential chair,
and issues calls for money and men, like live

his country above water also. Thus the world

To this Mr. Cameron adds that che recon-
n ends the came vigorous and merciful policy
now"
The Secretary of War calls attention to the
fact that, Notwithstanding the refusal Of the
Governor of Missouri to respond to the call of
the President for troops, the loyal people of
that State bave themselves contributed IL ,445
officers and men, making, In round numbers,
twelve organized regiments; and even Virginia
has given one regiment, while the District of
Columbia has furnished 1892 officers and men,
making four regiments.
1t will crafty our readers to learn that the
government has made arrangements to rife
large portion of the smooth bored cannon now
on band; and as to small arms, instead of pur-
oh ising them abroad, 1t is arranged to employ
D, ivate manufacturers in the United States to
supply the demand. The cost will be little
more, but it is deemed safer to depend on our
own resources than to trust to the uncertainty
of tt ausit over the ocean.
In conclusion, there is one point to which we
are glad to see Secretary Cameron direct at
tention. He says
The Importance Of enforcing the srctest discipline,
where active army operations are carried ON in the
beious States cannot be too strongly urged. Public
O. ndence 10 for the time being destroyed and the nice
mo al distinctions which obtain among men tn well or
dtrsd communities are apt to be Loot sight or
The como uct of some of the troops In the VI
cinity of Alexandria and Of Fortress Monroe
has been diagraceful in the extreme, and we
learn that within the last two or three days at
Martinsburg some Pennsylvania troops have
been guilty of outrages which call for condign
puaishment. General Patterson has issued Or
de, to shoot the first man who repeats such
crimes, and we trust he will see that his orders
are put into execution. Napoleon, Wellington,
and all great captains, have found It necessary
to ,Dflict the severest punishment for such Of
fences. If this recommendation of Secretary
Cameron is not strictly attended to, the army
will degenerate into icentious armed mob,
which would fail its commanders in the hour of
need.

The remaining $50,000,000 needed to supply
the full amount required for the service of the
fiscal year is to be provided for by an issue of
Treasury notes for $40 or $40 each, payable one
year from date, to an aggregate not exceeding
the amount required. These notes will bear
interest ut the rate of 65-1OO per cent, and
be exchangeable at will for Treasury notes or

Such are the ways and means devised by the

1t is to be regretted that In regard to the sug-
