Rebels could not have taken more than IL, the
total number lost; instead Of 100 wagons and

stead Of va.t quantities Of ammunition and arms
for an army, they have found little powder,
and possibly 1000 muskets. Az for the Lie that
there were provisions enough to feed an army Of
50 900 men for twelve months, it was manufsc.
tired out of the whole cloth. The frightened

LOYALTY OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
Mr.. Potter, from the Select Committee on the
Loyalty of Government Employees, yesterday
made the following special report:
The Committee appointed to investigate, ascertain,
and report TO the House the number Of persons with
the names thereof now employed in the several de-
paytments Of the Government who are known 70 enter
tain sentiments Of hostility TO the Government OF the
United States and who have refused to take the oath
70 support the Constitution Of the United States beg
leave to report In part TO the House as follows:
The Committee have given 10 the inquiry all the az
tsntion which their limited time and the pressure OF
other duties would allow but have az yet scarcely sd
vanced beyond its threshold. They have, however,
examined large number Of witnesses and have no
hesitation In saying that the testimony addnced bas
Of he House in the premises and to show the mpe!a
tive necessity Of the investigation which has been In
nituted.
The Committee, though prepared to believe ths. the
Of hs Departments in the particular referred to was
well founded vet must confess that they have been a.
tonishsi at the number and sggrava,ion Of the well
authenticated Of dsloyalty to the Government
which, in tie Of their investigation have been
brought 10 their notice.
TIA, persons should be thus disoyal to q Govern.
ment which has oonfded TO them its sacred trusts in
whose employ they have found support for themselves
and families, and TO which their fidelity Is due by
every consideration which appeals not only TO The
honor of the public officer but TO the honesty Of the
man. and that such persons should be retained In Of
fee and In instances retained where the facts
have been brought 70 the knowledge OF those who
have the power Of removal must be the occasion OF
profound grief and humiliation 70 every patriotic and
loyal heart. And their retention In Office especially In
the pres mt critical condition Of the Government can
be justified by assumed Necessity or convenience OF
the public service end may well excite the honest In
&gnation Of thr country. The COMMITTEES, while pre-
pared TO make these general statements which are
concurred In by every member Of the COMMITTEES find
that will be impossible 20 complete the work as
signed TO them, and mako report thereof within the
probable mi Of present session. They therefore ash
leave to sit during the Of Congress- aud zst the
adoption Of the accompanying r'soiution,
JOHN y. POTTEl Chsirmsn.
JOHN r. PUTrER CbsiTmss.
The resolutions giving the Committee leave H.
sit during the recess OF Congress, with te zane
powcrs Us heretofore were adopted.
PRESSURE On THE TREASURY.
The pressure in the Treasury Department is
now i.arly as great as of the War and Navy.
Tue Secretary is greatly aided by the expert
eBce and business capacity Of his assistant, Mr.
Harrington. His long connection with Urea
sury, and familiarity with all its different bu-
reaux, together with his frst-class executive
ability, make him invaluable in administration.
