RECOMM ENDATIONS OF THE
SECRETARY OF WAR.

The report of the Secretary of War is
too lono for us to publish it in full. We
give Synopsis of his recommendations
The Secretary refers to the operations
of tile army in its several departments,
and says that the campaign in Missis-
sippi was certainly disastrous. 1t is
difficult to resist the impression that its
disasters were not inevitable. That a
Court of Enquiry, to investigate the
whole campaign, met in Atlanta in Sep
TENDER, but in consequence of the vi
entity of the enemy requiring the pres
ence of witnesses and judges at other
points, it has been temporarily suspen-
ded. 1t is expected soon to re- assemble.
A deficiency of resources in men and
provisions, rather than reverses in bat
tie, caused the withdrawal of the army
to Middle Tennessee. He alludes to
desertion, Struggling & absenteeism, &
says that the effective force OF the army
is but little over half or two-thirds of
the men whose names are on the mus
ter rolls. He recommends the repeal of
the substitute and exemption provisions,
and that the privileges which Congress
granted to put in substitutes can be reg
ularl y and constituticnally abiogate ]
by the same power. He says that no
compact was entered into between the
Government and the person furnishing
a substitute, as has been alleged, but
only privilege which Cos ernment ac-
corded. Instead of complaining OF such
abrogation, the person ought to feel
eratitied at what has heretofore been al
lowed him. He recommends an abridg-
ment of exemptions and the conscrip-
ion of them all, making details accor-
ding to the wants Of society, at home
He says that the three years men, when
their terms expire, cannot be finally
discharged, and should be retained, al
lowing them to choose the existing
company under its present organization,
in the same arm of the service. He
recommends the consolidation of such
companies and regiments as are reduced
below certain complement. He pays
a glowing tribute to the heroism, endu.
rance and 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
that our very reverses, showing a uni
ted and determined endurance of every
thing for independence, must convince
the enemy of the futility of Lis efforts
to subdue us.

LINCOLN'S MESSAGE.

The Richmond papers of yesterday
contain the message Of Abraham Lin
coin. As the train was delayed, we
did uot receive them in time to have
an opportunity Of reading that precious
document, and are therefore unable to
say very little more than to announce
that it has been published in the South
ern papers. Lincoln says thai while he
shall remain in his present position, he
will not attempt TO retract or modify his
emancipation proclamation, and that re
VIII not retsrn t. slavery any person
who IS tree by the terms of that procla-
nation, or by any Of the acts OF Con.
g.'ess.
This is useless information, as no one
ever supposed that he would be capable
OF doing anything that was right. He
does wrong, and takes pleasure in his
evil acts. He may know the right, but
the wrong he will ever pursue.

Fort SIMTE r

At nine o'clock on Friday morning
this fort took fire from some cause
The fire communicated to some outer
timber work of the south angle, and the
wood work was burned and some am
munition destroyed. There were some
casualties, but the particulars have not
yet been received. The enemy's land
batteries opened heavily on the Fort
during the progress of the fire, and We're
replied to TO Moultrie and our bate
ries. A heavy firing was kept up all
day, which ceased at dark. Damage to

THE BATTLE OF PAYNE,s FARM.

The recent engagement on the Rapi-
dan has been designated the battle Of
"Payne's Farm" The battle reflects
much credit upon the skill of Maj. Gen.
Edward johnson and the gallantry Of
the officers and men Of his dieision.-
The division is composed Of the Stone
wall Brigade, under Gen. j. A. WalFer,
aud Stewards, j. M. Jones', ard Stat
ford's hrigades, with four pieces of An
derson's artillery. These were the only
troops engaged in the battle on ourside.
Opposed to them were Major General
Frenc!!.'s corps (3d) and one division of
the 5th corps. The enemy was in posi-
ton and opened the attack before our
forces knew of their presence Their
object, as has since been ascertained,
was to make sudden attack from their
concealed position upon our flank, dis
perse the troops, and capture our wag-
on train. They not only failed of their
object, but were driven from the feld
with considerables lighter. Their loss
was certainly double that of ours, exclu-
siye Of fifty prisoners.
The following are the casualties re-
