IMPORTANT ABOUT THE REPORT OF THI
SECRETARY or WAR

Last Thursday, Gen CAMERON completed his
report and sen: it TO the printers without sub
mitting it 10 The inspection of any one. On
Sunday last it was completed, and proofs fell
into the hands Of Gov. SEWARD. He became
very much alarmed, and on Monday morning a
Cabinet council was called and the Presidents
Message, which had been completed on Sunday
| night, was also brought up.
After lengthy discussion il was concluded
to keep the Message back until Tuesday, and
further consider the question. At another
meeting on Monday night,9Mr. SEWARD secured
an Interpolation of his ideas IN the Presidents
| Message, uerbat,m, and the Presidents matter
was cut out. Arranged in this way il was sent
| in 10 Congress on Tuesday.
| In the meantime, General CAMERON was ask
ed TO change or moderate his report He refu-
| sed, and up 10 eleven O'Clock P. NJ, Tuesday. il
was thought TO be inevitable that either General
| CAMERON or Governor SEWARD must leave the
| Cabinet, and an entire recast be made.
The President finally settled II by going 10
General CAMERON and insisting upon bis con-
fining his report 10 statement of lhe past, and
not dictate 10 Congress what they should do
CAMERON insisted that bis policy was correct,
and must be carried out al once. The President

Other counties along tie Missouri River are
believed to have done the same thing.
i is stated on good authority that when
Price was beseging Lexington delegation Of
citizens was sent 70 him from Saline county
with an urgent request that he would not al
low his army 70 enter that county, which was
complied with. The reason of this request was
because OF the great fear entertained by the iu-
habI.ants Of the county Of the plundering pro-
pensities of Puce's rebels.
The counties along the Missouri River, west
OF Jefferson City, are The richest in The State,
and have furnished nearly as many men and
as much means IN behalf of the rebellion as
the balance of the State. They have been al
most entirely exempt from marauders, and have
never been visited by Federal troo ps.

LOUISVILLE, DEC. ..
Several letters from Somerset and Stanford,

They say that the Federal forces under Gen
SchcEf have been compelled 10 retreat this side

crossed Cumberland liver, and are marching on

BaE+" The authoress of Jane Eyre, says
her biographer, twas remarkably felicitous
in her choice of words. Still she possessed
no such talent as could dispense with a nice
discrimination in selecting words. One set
of words was the truthful mirror of her
thoughts; no others, how apparently iden-
teal in meaning would do. She would
wait patiently searching for the right term
till it presented itself to her. This care, "
says her biographer, makes her style pre-
sent the finish of mosaic. Each component
part, however small, has been dropped in
to the right place, and she never wrote
down a sentence until she clearly under
stood what she wanted to say, had delibe-
rately chosen the words, and had arranged
them in the right order Her manuscript
might show the erasure of an entire sen
tence, but rarely the alteration Of any oi
the words"

roasted Jail birds.
