A MAN For THE TIMEs.-The accounts from
Fortress Monroe represent General Wool as
infusing wonderful activity and energy into all
departments of the military service there. He
holds every colonel and line officer responsible
not only for the good conduct but for the
efficiency Of their respective commands; he
exacts specific reports from them in every in
stance. insists upon their being personally
acquainted with the facts stated, ard checks
them by inquiry and supervision And yet this
is the man who was represented as too old and
infirm for active service, while political gene
rails, who had no knowledge whatever Of mill
tary duties, were placed in responsible COM
mands where, by their ignorance and incompe-
tency, they demoralizcd their men and brought
INSTRUMENTATION and trouble into our camps.

We laid before our readers in our las
issue, the first annual message of Presi
dent Lincoln. 1t is plain spoken docu'
meni; and ONE that will command the at
tention of all. The President draws the
attention of Congress to the necessity o
preparing means for the defence of the sea
board aud frontiers, and advocates the pla
cling Of arms and munitions of war at suit
able points along the line ofthe great lakes
and rivers Of our country. The settle
ment OF claims against the Government
is specially referred to. Tbs President
recommends the recognition of Hayu and
Liberia, the colonization Of slaves confsca-
ted from the rebels. as we'll as that Of such
free colored people, North and South who
would wish join the movement, reform
in the Judiciary Of the whole country is
recommended; as also revision Of the U
nited States statutes. The institution OF
some planzby Congress which will, until
the restoration of peace, enable northern
credi tors to collect debts due from the
South. A recommendation to have the
District of Columbia restored TO its orig
inal proportions--of ten miles--is also
lnd before Congress; and advises the
creation OF a Bureau of Agriculture.

disasters in Missouri referred to by the
gentleman from Kansas. If General
Fremont is to blame let it be known, if
not. in Gods name let him be justified
and let the country know it.
Wr. Foster thought it be st not to in
vestigate the matter now under the pres~
ent circumstances. He thought Congress
had better not do it. If military officers
managed the army badly Congress would
only make bad mattel worse by interfc-
ring. He would let the military alone in
time of war. An inquiry of this kind
would only call men away irvm igher
duties. At the proper time Congress
mi hit make the inquiry.

Congress at Work.

Congress has gone to work in the
proper manner, according to our humble
judgment; and we hope that on every
page of its history it will leave record
that future generations may read. love
and admire. The only way to deal with
the Rebels, is TO make them feel that tie
General Government is in earnest, and
that wearied with throwing clods, it will
lay hold on some thing more solid, and
by aiming blow at the peculiar iustitu-
ton, arouse Rebellion to sense OF III ir
danger. II they make use OF their ne"
groes to aid and abet them in their wick
ed purpose Of overthrowing the Govern
ment, and if that is their stronghold,
let the Government lay bold of it, and by
removing it crush at once and forever the
treason. There is no use mincing mat

are imperilling their lives In defence OF
the Union. Let not there | lood be shed
