The official report of General J. Z. Johnston
to the rebel government has just seen the light
in Richmond papers. 1t is very severe on
Pemberton for the loss Of the army at Yicks-

ated. He says in closing his report;
A proper regard for the good opinion of my

throw aside that delicacy which would gladly
have observed towards a brother officer, suffer

FILL UP TuE ARMY,

The first need Of the hour is to ill the ranks
OF our army. All questions are subordinate to
this. The "policy" for the times is victory
In the field, and there i" success " is a duty.
To this end, we would once more call attention
TO the bill fof allowing loyal states 10 recruit in
certain revolted States. In no other way can
90 mmY men be so soon placed in arms.
Owing TO the great demand for labor, recruit.
Ing Is slow In the Eastern States, and slower
In some OF the Middle States. The industry Of
the country suffers from he drain OF mon
volunteering lags, and a draft will furnish
little except combinations and worthless i'm
ported substitutes.
These States ask leave to ill their quotas
from the inhabitants (black or white) Of rebel
sections. They propose to give their large
bounties to the poor men whose homes have
been desolated by rebels, and to those poorer
men, whose whole lives have hitherto been
stolen from them by oppression. The Govern
ment has, Indeed, enlisted many freedmen; but
the result has been, that from two departments
chaplhins have been detailed to ask for charity,
and TO state TO the world, ''thAt the United
States have enlisted thousands Of able-bodied
men, leaving their wives and children, the
aged and inhrm to starve." The State boun.
ties properly administered win put an end to
this wrong. In addition TO these bounties,
regular aid is supplied to the families OF sol.
diers in some OF the Eastern States; and al.
ready, many families have gone to those States,
In order to receive this allowance. The bur-
den Is assumed as II should be, with the benefit.
IL has been said that this bill would allow
Eastern States to I'LL their quotas with money,
instead OF men. The contrary is true. The
drafting act does allow every State TO fll lts
quota with money. If the recruiting bill
passes, the money, instead OF being paid as
Communication, will be applied In advance to
procure soldier; and the quota will be filled
with men, and not with money.
II Is the settled policy Of the Government,
that negroes shall be encouraged To fight, and
this policy should not be thwarted whenever It
Is 10 be put into practice. 1t will be a serious
misfortune II, after adopting that system, and
afteI offending all who could be offended by 1t,
we shall find some good excuse for opposing
every measure which aims practically and
largely to arm the negro. Here Is a mass of
poor men unemployed, not serving tho Union,
liable TO be impressed by rebels, or to feed re-
bellion by their labor. ~. .
On the other hand are loyal men who wish
70 employ these men In the service OF the couu-
try, and who will. pay largely for that service.
Wetrust that Congress will allow this, not only
because II viii relieve the Strengthened industry
Of the East, not only because 1t viii do justice
70 a race who have waited two centuries for JUS
hce, but chiefly because, more than any pend
ing measure, it will ill the ranks Of our army,
and enable General Grant to win victory for
our nag.

GENERAL PENnERroS.--Gen. PembertDus :
official report Of the siege of vicksburg is pub
hShed. He attributes all the rebel dlssstors at
that place to his deficiency of cavalry. It
appears, however, that Gen. GRANTS strategy
completely deceived Pemberton, for from the
18th to the 30th Of April he seems 10 have had
SO little Information OF Grants movements as
TO have been unable to raoet them. On the
29th OF April he telegEaphed Gen. Johnston
that the Federal forces were at Hard Times,
and can cross 70 BrHinsburg;" and, on the Ist
OF May, that "a fusious battle has been going
on all day below Part Gibson" On the % or
May Gen. JohnStOn replied: "If Grant crosses
unite all your troops to beat him. Success will
give back what was abandoned to win it.n The
battle Of Por Gibson won, Grant pushed di-
recty toward Jackson. Pembcrton's want of
cavalry did not permit the interruption of
Grants Communications, and he moved for
ward Gnmolested to Clinton. Meanwhile, Penn
6erton dlsobeyed some OF Johnston's orders,
and, as the upshot, Grant took Vcksburg.

THE oUICKsm.yER CAsn.

The judges Of the Supreme Court have had
two consultations about this case. One was
last Saturday and one the Saturday before.
The judges disagree In their opinions and have
not been able to come to any conclusion. From
tho dlfneulty they have in arguing, 1t seems the
case Is not so clear as the friends OF the COM
pany have asserted.
Hthey should agree NEXT Saturday, the opIn-
lon will probably be delivered in about three
