REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR
From tho Richmond Dispatch.

From tho Richmond Dispatch.
The report of the Secretary of War is n
very lengthy and highly important doca.
ment. 1t briefly refers to the operation OF
tho army in its several departments, and
says that the campaign in Mississippi was
certainly disastrous. 1t is difficult to re-
sist the impression that its disasters were
not inevitable. That court of inquiry 10
investigate the whole campaign met In
Atlanta in September, butin consequence
of the vicinity of the enemy requiring the
presence Of witnesses and judges at other
points, it has been temporarily suspended.
1t is expected soon to reassemble. A de-
ficiency of resources in men and provisions,
rather than in reverses in battle, caused the
withdrawal of the army in Middle Tennes-
see He alludes to desertion, struggling
and absenteeism, and says that the effect
i've force of the army is but little over half,
or two thirds of the men whose names are
on the muster-rolls He recommends the
repeal of the substitute and exemption
provisions, and that all having substitutes
be put back into the field, and that the
privileges which Congress granted to put
in substitutes can be regularly and consti-
tutionally abrogated by the same power
He says that no compact was entered into
between the government and the person fur
nshing a substitute, as has been alleged,
but only privilege which government ac'
corded.
Instead Of complaining of such abroga'
ton, the person ought to feel gratified at
what has heretofore been allowed him. He
say that the three years men when their
terms expire, cannot be finally discharged,
and should be retained, allowing them to
choose the existing company under its pre-
sent organization, in LIE same arm of the
service. He pays glowing tribute to the
unfaltering devotion of the soldiers and of
the lamented dead who yielded their lives
as sacrifices upon the altar of liberty, and
closes by saying our very reverses show q
determined endurance of everything for
independence. o.. ~,

comfortable quarters fer the winter, if, in
deed, Generals Lee and Meade shall permit

The peace" persons inform US that if
the President would make the offer to the
people of the States in rebellion, fairly and
squarely, that they may come into the
Union without unconstitutional res estrictions,
come they would, and that readily. Well,
there is rhe State of Tennessee. The proc
lamation of emancipation is not operative
within its borders. Tennessee was express
ly exempt from the effect of the proclama-
ton, JAN that the people Of Tennessee have
to do, to restore TO themselves the blessings
of civil government, and the privileges Of
citizens of the United States, is simply to
become law-abiding citizens and govern
themselves. If slavery is delapidated
among them, the proclamation is not to
blame--it is the act Of war. Tennessee is
now completely in our possession, from the
Smoky Mountains of North Carolina to
the Mississippi River. There is no fools
cap buggaboo haunting her, and, to the i'm
aginative, pcrtentous on her horizon. Can
enough loyal men be found to save her from
further fire and birthstone

The President has always yielded to the

certainly seems to have studied the lines
about making promise te the ear and
breaking it to the hope. His proclamation
of amnesty is case in point. A proper
document of that kind would have ended
the war in month; but the one he has is
sued insures its continuance to the end of
his term of office. An amnesty addressed
to the hope as well as to the ear should
have been peace offering and a par
don; this one is a provacation and war

The Telegraph has taken exception to my

per, to pursue, and, in long article, en-
deavors to show that l am wrong and he is
right. must say, with all due respect to
the gentleman, that | have carefully read
the article in question, and still persist in
my assertion "that its course, to say the
least, is inconsistent" |, like thousands
of Catholics, believe that the Abolition par
ty, of which the Telegraph is so earnest a
supporter, is, from the very nature of its
organization, opposed directly to the propa-
cation of Catholic principles. We know it
to be fact that the men Of that party look
upon an Irisman as an inferior, and would,
il a chance presented itself, blot him out ;
aye, drive him from the land Read what
prominent Abolition paper says Of the
Irish, and it will convince you.
The Boston CommonwcaltA, the organ of
Charles Sumner, an extreme Abolition print,
in speaking of the Irishman, says

Such is the character of the prints with
which the telegraph" is now associ-
ated. Strange company, indeed; but these
arc strange times, and extraordinary things
occur.
Catholics knew we'll that the only way to
further the Catholic faith in this country is
to avoid the breakers of fanatcsm. They

FROM Gen. BRACES ARMY.
DALTON, Ca, Dec. 2.

1t is not known whether General Hardee
will remain in permanent command of the
armv; but if he should do So then it will
be necessary to assign Major Generals to the
command of the corps into which it is divi
ded, since he takes rank among the junior
Lieutenant Generals. Of the officers Of his
rank the following is the order of their ap
pointment, to wit Longstreet, Kirby Smith,
Polk, Holmes, Hardee, jackson, Pemberton,
Ewell, A. P. Hill and D. II. Hill. Think
of Jackson and ilardee coming after Holmes,
and barely taking precedence of Pemberton!
General Hardee has already declined the
command of the army, except temporarily.
He thinks that one of our very ablest OH
GERS should be assigned to duty here, and
his modesty forbids him to believe that he
is the proper person for the position. This
is the third time that General Bragg has
asked to be relieved. The first time, un-
derstand, after the battle of Murfreesboro;
the second Just after the battle of Chic6a
mauga, and the third and last time since the
disaster at Missionary Ridge.
The enemy has retired from our front
across the Chickamauga toward Chattanoo
ga, having burned the town of Ringgold,
destroyed the railroad bridges, torn up the
track, heated and bent the iron bars, and
laid waste the country along the route OF
his retreat. This movement would seem to
decide the question as to Grants future
intentions, at least for the winter. As he
cannot advance in the direction of Rome
during the winter months, so he cannot
move by this route without the aid of the
railroad which he has been Destroying
This may be aruse, however, intended to
throw us off our guard until he can accumu,
late supplies and transportation for for

Terms OF Restoration.

The telegraph informed us, few days
ago, that letters had been received in Wash
ington from prominent Conservative mem.
bers of the Rebel Congress, from North
Carolina, asking, unofficially upon what
terms the Southern States would be permit
ted-to return to the Union. -.-
By this time "prominent Conservative
members of the Rebel Congress" have learn
ed from President LINCoLN's Message, that,
by swearing to support the Emancipation
Proclamation and the whole batch Of Re-
publican legislation, "the Southern States
would be permitted to return tothe Union."
If these North Carolina gentlemen are sim
cere in their desire to learn and embrace
terms of restoration of the Union, the Mes
sage will fill them with regret and discour-
agement. With what degree of success can
they expect to meet, IN urging upon the
rebels submission upon such terms? Does
not the Presidents plan substantially close
the door to reconciliation on the basis OF the
old Constitution and the old Union? And
was it not distinctly intended to do sof-
Was not the single purpose OF the President
proposition. to prevent the return OF the
Southern States, on the condition OF sub
mission to the Constitution and the laws!
Was not its object to demand more than
the restoration of the Constitution and the
Union-to prevent the close of the war un'
til slavery is abolished?
Is not this the proposition of the Presl'
dent? North Carolina stands at the door
and proposes to abandon the rebellion and
submit to the Constitution, and asks recog'
milton as one of the States Of the Union
The President says, "no-that is not
enough; you must, in addition, abolish sla-
very and adopt the Abolition PLATFORM
The question, therefore, with North Carroll
ma is whether she will abolish slavery as a
condition of return. If not, the war against
her will be continued. In other words the
war, in such a case, is continued solely for
the purpose of compelling State to abolish
slavery.
But, reply the SUP, 'rters Of the Presl-
dent, do you propose to open negotiations
with rebels in arms?
No, sirs; we propose nothing of the kind;
but we are in favor of proclamation OF
amnesty of very different character from
that proposed by Mr.. LtNcoLN--one which
shall throw wide open the doors for the re-
turn of every seeded State on the simple
condition of submission to the Constitu-
ton. Until they abandon the rebellion and
are oillingato recognize .Me Union and the
fundamental law upon aohich 1t IS based, the
,car must continue-but the moment the people
of State resume their position under the Con-
stitution, the a0ar, Us to them, must end
EVERY BLOW AFTER THAT, BY THE ADMIN
IsTRATIoN, IS UNAUTHORIZED AND REyoLU-
T1oNARY. This war has no legitimate ex-
istence except to suppress rebellion-when
that ceases the war must cease To cor
tinue it beyond that, for the purpose OF
changing State institutions or compelling
conditions unknown to the Constitution, is
to change places with the rebels.
