Ma. PENDLEroS's REPoRr.-Ths idea embraced
In Mr.. Pendleten's report, constituting the heads
Of the Executive Department Of the government,
in certain sense, o portion Of the legislative
body, with the right to debate questions refer
ring to their several functions, does not appear
to be in consonanoe with the spirit OF our peo-
pie. 1t Is proposed that the Ministers Of the
Cabinet shall have the privilege to sit In Con-
gress at any time, and that It shall become their
duty to appear there two days in each week at
the opening OF business, to answer any ques-
tions which may be put to them, and to join in
the debate. The British Cabinet, 1t is true,
hold places in Parliament by election In the
House OF Commons and by their right as peers
in the Upper House. II is a custom long fami-
liar, and works very we'll but In this country
It would be found to work very badly. In the
first place, 1t would obstruct tho business OF
Congress by occupying time with idle questions;
aad In the next II would take tho members Of
the Cabinet from their legitimate places at the
head Of their several departments, where they
could be much better employed In the public

SOME Valuable IHFoRxAToS roR JoHs
BULL-The military critics Of the rebel sympa-
thizng press OF England have argued over and
over again during the last three years that,
considering the immense territorial area covered
by the rsbellion, the "federals" never could
reach the heart Of the Davis " confederacy,n
because Of the impossiblity Of holding the long
lines Of railways that would be required TO sub
sist from the rear our advancing armies. Now,
for the special Information of John Bull, we
have the pleasure to announce that this sup
posed insuperable difficulty Of subsistence has
been settled BY General Sherman. He has
shown that there is no necessity for base Of
supplies or cumbersome army train in order
to march heavy force from one end Of Georgia
TO the other. The same may bc said OF Ala

rebels TO rely mainly upon those three Statsi
