Report Of the Potter Committee.

The " Y. Tribune of Tuesday devotes
about three pages, in small type, to the pub.
location Of tho body of tho report Of the
Potter Investigating Committee. 1t will be
remembered that this Committee was raised
for tho purpose of inquiring into the loyal
~ of Government empoly ees, with tho de-
sign at least. of clearing every department
OF spies and traitors. The Committee in
vestigated the LOYALTY of between five and
SIX hundred Government employees or APP
pointees, and reported to the several heads
of departments those about whose loyalty
there could be no doubt. the testimony
boing all TO the same point. Some Of those
thus reported were removed, while Others
were retained on one ground or another.
The Tribune says:
The evidence before tho Committee shows
conclusNelv that large number of disloyal
persons are still to DO found in the various
departments. They are not only persons
who have shown in covert ways their want
OF sympathy with tho Government, but
those who have openly and boldly avowed
their sympathy with the rebels
They found treason. open and avowed, o,
covert and concealed. everywhere, in the
Army, in the Navy and in every Depart
ment. 1t is an outrage TO tho loyalty ot
tho Nation that any man should be retained
in responsible position of any kind, iD re-
gard to whose loyalty there is evoD sus
pIcion The entire report will shortly bt
published. Reflector.

Waiting.

We have no very important war news
This week--only rumors and specula'ions.
All is presumed to be quiet or the Po.
iomac, ''beavy firing" is said to have
been heard by reliable gentlemen" in
various directions, aud there are, ms usual,
numerous omers Of great and startling
events abont TO occur; but more than
this we are mol enabled 10 record. We
make no predictions, and have learned
to be neither greatly elated with hope nor
depressed with fear, but are simply soaa.
Sno WAITING, WAITING. How long we
shall be compelled 10 wait in patience, to
see our victorious hosts returning from
the war, and our glorious old banner once
more floating proudly over peaceful
and united Nation, the God of Battles
only knows; and yet our faith in the JUS
lice and strength Of the cause is so firm
and abiding, that we cannot doubt our
eyes shall yet be gladdened with the sight.
What the Nation asks Of the leaders Of
its armies, is, not premature or inju.
dicious advance, but an earnest and
unfaltering purpose 10 put down the Re-
bellion, regardless Of lhe consequences to
its authors and abettors. When the blow
comes to be struck, the effect cannot be
doubtful. Already our enemies are dis
trac,ed and desponding, while the Union
cause is as strong as ever in the hearts
of the people. All the halowed memo.
ries OF the past, all the sublime realities
of the present, all the glorious and in
spring hopes Of the future, invite to the
conflict We are waiting, but waiting
only for victory.

Gen. Lanes Expedition.

Major Goueral Hunter, in command Of
the Dcparl meni of Kansas announces that
she Cherokee expedition. heretofore popu-
larly known as Gen. Lanes" is General
Lanes no longer. but his own; as he him
self will take command 10 person. His
special order to this effect, given in our
teographic dispatches, lays down tho de-
tails of brigade organization aud equipment
He will divide tho column into six brigades,
one of which will be commanded by Lane,
another (probably) by Jennison, and the
othor four by the senior coloDels, unless (as
has been rcquested) the Government gives
him Brigadiors enough to fill tho bill. This
action of Gen Hunter has not been un-
expected. either bv Gen. Lane or his friends,
and il argues nothing Of change of policy,
under whichever the column shall move
forward. The rotations Of Hunter and Lano
arc most friendly and tho Government (as
also Gen Lane himself expressly deferred
to tho former. as an officer of higher rank,
to decide for himself whether he would take
tho chief command. The troops are rally
ing AT Lcavenworth. and also the column
which more than any other carries along
with it the hopes and prayers Of tho country,
will movo forward with as little delay as
possible. Gen. Lane had arrived at Leavon-
worth before the issue Of this order, aud II
was probably made as the result of a con-
ference between the two gontlomen.
In this connec ion il is proper to say that
Gen. Lane. whom in this city. was asked as
to tho probability of Gen. Hunters taking
command, and replied, that there was work
enough for both. indeed too much for ono
aud that he should prefer to be relieved ot
the thousand aud one details that must do
volve upon the senior officer, in order to
devote himsolf more wholly to his own CON-
mard He said there was the most perfect
accord between Gen. Hunter and himself
aud that whether Gen. Hunter took the
field or remained at Leavcnworth, no had
no doubt they would work harmoniously
together for tho success of the expedition.
The fact. therefore. that Gen. Hunter is to
take command. seconded by such officers as
Lane, Jennison and four others like them.

TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENTS FOR THE

State, who represents the goth Congress-

into the House OF Representatives, estab.
fishing Territorial Governments for all
the States now in rebellion against the
authority Of the Constitution, by which it
is proposed that. whenever the loyal sen

tain the existence OF the local Legisla-

be appointed by the President, and their
authority sustained by the strong arm Of
the central power. as in Utah, four or FIVE
years since.
