The Change in the War Depart
uneut.

The specials 10 the New York Tribune
from w nshington Of the 18th, have the
fJll owing:
The nominat alton OF Secretary Stanton
was confirmed by the Senate to-day by
the gratifying vote Of 38 to 2--one Of the
descendants, a Republican, voting against
him simply because he did not personally
know him, and could not therefore con-
scicntiously record himself in his favor.
The only Senator that enjoys intimate
relations with Secretary Stanton is Mr.
Sumner, who moved his unanimous con-
iirmation the day his name reached the
Capitol. The relations between him and
Secretary Chase are equally intimate
These two names should BE- sufficient in
dorscment of the new Secretary, who il
may be added is fully acceptable also to
such men as Senators Wade and Fcsscn-
den.
The truth is that in the last days of Bu-
chanan's Administration il was Fdw 81
NJ, Stanton even more than Gen. Dix Or
Mr.. Holt, who did what C, uld be done TO
save what could be saved OF the nation
Then il was that he formed the intimacies
with more advanced members of the Re-
publican party, which he has fostercd
since his retirement to private life, and
adopted opinions in unison with those
which will certainly guide his official con-
/ duct.
He is man Of vigorous character, with
resolutions to prosecute the war with the
utmost energy, and to strive to strike the
rebellion in its most vulnerable points,
Slavery he believes to be the most vul
nerable of all. During his Adniuistrs.

or other officer of the army will more

who hstter themselves that In his appoint
men the cause Of s avery, Of the Rebels
or of the Border States, or Of the "hands
off" type, has gained an ally, will be
chormingly disappointed.
He is not a man Of rosew ater- doubts a,

His only question will be, how most rapid

The New York TriSsse Of the i7u
says:
We publish entire. this ruorpine there
sporse Of the Secretary u the Navy I,
the Senate resolution sskinr for informa
ton touching tie employment Of Mr.. q
d. Morgan to purchase vessels for IN.
Government. Mr.. Wslles began BY thank
ing the Senste for an opportunity Of
spreading his statement before the coun.
t!y, and then goes on 10 reproduce por.
ton Of his Annual Report, In which he re-
fers at some length to this Bstter Of the
purchase OF ships. He says the four points
considered essential in trensscting this
business were thorough examination Of
v ssels, inexpensive negotiation, a mer-
camille agency 10 this end, and continual
supervisions by the Department. Mr..
Welles thinks the working of his plan was
satisfactory 10 ell parties.
Proceeding TO treat the subject in de-
tail, the document refers 20 the difficulties
which besot il AZ the first; the purchase
of ships by naval officers proved failure
these men had no talent for making bar
gains, and they were cheated. Finding
il necessary to take a mercantile agent,
the question arose whether 10 employ
several or only one. In the opinion OF
the Secretrry, the appoiDtme Mt of several
would multiply his responsibility and di.
vide theirs. SO he settled upon one
When he looked about him for the proper
person his eye fell on Mr.. Morgan; he
knew that the relationship existing be-
tween III m would furnish grounds for
inviduous remarks; but ne knew, he says,
that Mr.. Morgan wsuld be the best man
for the work, and he ives willing to s.cri-
fee himself Tor the sake Of the cause. The
agent being appointed, the work was to
be commenced. Here Mr.. Wellss calls
attention to the fact that the time was
short, the necessity pressing. There
could be no advertising no sealed propo-
sails, none Of the ordinary machinery in
such cases made and provided. The work
must be done directly by the agent, and
between himself and the various owners
of ships. Accordingly, Mr.. Morgan be-
gan his work. Mr.. Welles is Of the opin-
ion that his agent hus been the direct
means of saving the Government much
expense; that the purchases have invaria-

though the compensation has been very
great, yet the amount of operations was
large, and moderate commission in
single instances would make large ag-
grcgatc. The payer then cmbodics a
long communication from Mr.. Morgan
himsclf to the Chairman of the House
Committee on Naval Afiairs, wherein he
takes substantially the same view of the
case as that Of the Secretary himself
Then follows a narrative Of some length,
describing the peculiorities of sundry pur-
chascs, and passage in favor of buying
according TO mercantile usage. Another
paragraph concerns the fitness Of Mr.. Nor
gan for his work; denies the allegation of
the Senate report, TO the effect that he had
never known by experience anything Of
the business Of ship buying; and puts
forth somc testimonials ss to his ability
and honesty. With these the document
draws to close.

TiE NIEwe OF srcRgrlRY STANTON.
The retirement OF Mr.. Cameron from
the Cabinet and the appointment OF Hon.
Edwin NJ. Stanton as his successor in the
War Department have caused great euri-
osity IN regard 60 the views ot the latter
on the two prominent questions OF the
day, va; the prosecution of the war, aud
the disposed Of the negroes. Secretary
Station lie a strong war Democrat of
Douglas antcccdcnts, but he never took
any active part in the party as such, Hc
Is IN i1vor Of prosecuting the campaign
with all the means the government can
command, nndwith the utmost vlgur.
Whatever may be- his views on the
present status ~ our military operations,
he an earnest supporter Of the policy
of the President ON the emancipation
question, which is Known to be opposed
tc the scheme Of wholesale emancipation
and ,e tho views cxprcsscd by the late
head nfthc War Department at the OPEN
ing oi the present scssion Of Congress-
In this respect Secretary Stanton's opin-
ious are identical with those ui Hon. Jo-
seph Holt. whose name was mcutioned
IN connection with the position he now
occurics. II the radicals think, as has
been stated by some of their organs. that
in the appointment OF Mr.. Stanton they
have gained hold on tn future actions
OF tho administration in reference to the
negro question, they are very much mis-
taken.
The new Secretary has been actively
engaged in the U, s. Suprcme Cortland
az late as yesterday WAS ai,ending TO his
legal business there. He is man of
great industry aud energy, possesses cmi-
r'nt legal phiity, and brings 10 the ar
duous position upon which he entered to-
day, vigorous constitution aud a sound
mind. The lutelligenoct OF to-day says.
"AlSsys known - Democrat IN pol
lt.cs, Mr.. Stanton has bren called to the
administration ofth War Department
by a Republican President; and thus
the latter, In Offering and the former in
accepting this high responsibility, have
