Report of the Sec. of War.


We select the following items from re-
port made to Congress, March 1st, by the
Sec. Of War, thinking they may be of in
terest to our readers.
The ordnance supplies during the past
fiscal year include l, $50 pieces of ordnance
2,36l artillery carriages and caissons, 802,-
525 small arms, 794,055 sets af accoutre-
ments and harness, 1,674, PA projecties for
cannon, 12,740, LAG pounds of bullets and
lead. 9,460, 400 pounds of gunpowder, 169,-
490,029 cartridges for small arms. These
are complete articles, in addition to large
quantities of the same kind of supplies
partially made up at the arsenals.
The Provost Marshal General reports
the Veteran Reserve corps as consisting,
October l, 1864, of 760 officers, aud 49,
1873 men its discipline and instruction
good and that the entire corps is doing
duty which would otherwise have to be
performed by an equal number of able bod
led troops detached from the armies in the
field and that it is yet inadequate in num-
bers to fill the demands made on it,
The introduction of breech-loading arms
for the military service generally is recon-
mended. The selection of site for gen.
eral depository of gunpowder, and the cree
ton of suitable magazines thereon, is re-
commended In that connection, the con-
struction OF Government powder mill, of
sufficient capacity to make standard and
proof powder and gun cotton, is also re-
commended, M

Gov. Brown on sannlho

The sailors have a saying that one in a
desperate, perplexing dilemma is "between
the devil and the deep sea-" We have often
noted and commented on the bother which
the negro-arming problem gives to the
statesmen of Dixie, now in the very last
stages OF desperation. Gov Joseph E.
Brown, Rebel Governor of Georgia, has
just called his Legislature together to de-
h0erate on the crisis and the substance of
what he says in his Message on the Negro
question comes to US, via Richmond, as
follows
he opposes the arming ofthe slaves, believing
them to be more valuable as agricultural laborers
than they could be as soldiers. They do NOT
wish to go into the army and the principal re-
straint now upon them is the fear that, il they
leave, the enemy will make them fight. C6uapI
them TO take up arms, and they wiH desert bv thou
sands trF
Whatever may be our opinion of their normal
condluon or Interests are cannot eIpect them to per-
form deeds Of heroism aehen fighting TO continue the
easta0en'ent Of their oiUes and children, and it is
not reasonable to demand it of them. Whenever
we establish in fact that they are military peo-
pie a'e destroy oar theory that they are unfit to be
free. When aOe arm the slaves noe abandon
Slavery."
If the Governor had always reasoned as
soundly, he would never have been trail
tor.
The fact is, that there is nothing more
to be made out of the negroes by the Re-
bells. The latter are at the end of their
rope-or, if that metaphor be deemed un-
seasonable and offensive, they are very near
ly "gone in" To arm their slaves now
would only save themselves the morti-
tication of surrendering their arms when
the time comes for laying them DOWN..

Society in Releeldom

1t is significant of the utter hollowness
of the rebellion, that in none of the recov-
cred cities have yet been found any conspic-
uous representatives of the higher classes
which plunged the nation into war. The
poorer classes, to whom escape, if they de-
sired it, was sheer impossibility, were found
ina abundance. But the ruling classes, the
lords of the soil, had taken timely refuge
in the interior, or at Nassau, or in Europe,
showing how the chiyalry fee when Sher-
man pursueth. w ~ Fbase - g3a
Fortunately the element out of which So
ciety in these recovered states is to be re-
plenished and restored, is left behind

sion of the forfeiture. And if Justice is
done, as it seems likely to be done, at last
they will have the uncheerful privilege Of
choosing between perpetual exile or pefpet-
ual oblivion. That alternative is not at all
proportioned to the measure Of their guilt
But it is something. Uae ai

The Great Flood

For many years there has not been so wild and
destructive food, as that which has Just passed
Throughout New York. Pennsylvania and Mary
land, and especially along theSusquehanna river
the destruction of property has been immense
The Northern Central Railway between York
and Sunbury, and the Pennsylvania Central, be-
tween Harrisburg and Philadelphia, were flooded
in places to the depth of six or eight feet and por-
tons of the track washed away.
Several large bridges across the upper Susque-
hanna, and number of creek bridges were swept
away, with fences, houses, cattle and a vast
amount of lumber ready for spring trade. At
Harrisburg the water rose l3 inches higher than
in the great food Of 1916, and the lower part of
the city was entirely submerged causing great
suffering among the people
Travel was entirely suspended on some Of the
railroads, and the Telegraph lines could not be
worked of al
Not bridge is left over the West Branch from
Northumberland to Lock Haven. The Lock Ha-
ven bridge, the two bridges at Williamsport the
Muncy bridge, the railroad bridge, the Union
town, the Milton and Lewisburg bridges are all
gone. The railroad bridge and way bridge over
the North Branch at Northumberland was not in
jured, but the handsome towing bridge across
the West Branch lost two spans next TO Northum-
berland
The oil regions of Pennsylvania suffered Sc
verely. Derricks, tanks containing large guam
titles of OIL came down, and the river was block
ed with floating barrels, most of them filled with
oil. Many Pittsburg firms suffered heavily
Along the banks were sad evidences of wreck
Many families whose houses are gone are camp
ing along the bank. All the banks along the
Allegheny river are inundated.
A considerable quantity of oil in barrels will
be recovered, having floated into eddies below
Harrisburg and left aground by the receding wa
tiers. At the Mouth of Sewickly creek it is esti-
mated that one hundred thousand dollars worth
of property was washed ashore. 0 EA n
A lage field at Manchester is entirely covered
with oil barrels, and one piece of bottom land
short distance below, about 81 acres in extent, is
covered from six to eight feet with oil barrels
and lumber, in confused mass.
The waters have now subsidized and the Rail-
ways and bridges are being rapidly repaired.
