Report of the Secretary OF War.

Secretary Stanton sent his annual
report to.Congrcss ON Friday, which
he says has been delayed in order that
Lieutenant. General Grant might fur
nish II summary Of his military opera
tions; but the summary has not been
received, as tho activity OF tho cam
paign in progress demands unccasing
attention. Tho Secretary says the
military events of the past year have
been officially published as they trans
pired, and arc fully known in every
branch of this Government, and
throughout the civilized world.
They constitute II series ofsuccesslul
marches siegcs and BATTLES, attestinS
tho endurance and courage ofthc sol
diers of the United States and the gal
lantry and military skill Of their COM
manders.
Despite the superior advantages Of
recruiting volunteers greater success
has been reached in the regular service
than was anticipated. The result Of
the volunteer recruiting service under
the different calls for troops dated Feb
uary LIST, March l4th, and July 18th, is
given in the report OF Provost Marshal
General Fry, who says in reference to
tho recruitment of veteran volunteers
during the autumn of 1863, over 1916,
600 soldiers, who would otherwise ere
this have been discharged, were Secur-
Ncd for three years longer OrganIHa-
tions which would otherwise have been
lost to the service were preserved and
recruited, aud capable and eXpcricnc-
cd officers wcro retained in command.
This force has performed an essen.
tial part in the great campaign of 1861,
and its impol tancc to the country can
not be ovcrcstimatcd,
The result of recruiting in the rebel
States is reported rs uniavorabIo.
Tho arrest OF deserters and strag-
glcrs is continued with vigor Thirty
nine thousand threo hundred and nine
ty.two were arrested between Oct. lst
1868, and Oct, LIST, 1864,
Tho total number received from the
establishment of the bureau to October
lst, 1864, is GO,7G0, The Veteran Re

The report Of the Secretary gives t
summary OF the reports Of the heads o

saying tho general exchange ofprison
crs effected under tho instruction o
tho Department is in course OF oXccu
ton, and it is hoped that all of onl

THE INAUGURATION.

WASHINGTON, March President
Lincoln was inaugurated at II o'clock
NJ. to-day. The weather was clear
and beautiful, but on account of the
recent rain the streets were filled with
mud. Despite this fact, the crowd
that assembled was exceedingly large,
and thousands proceeded to the Capt.
tol to witness the Inauguration cere-
monies. The procession moved from
Sixteenth street and Pennsylvania Av-
enue at IL v'clocll. President Lincoln
had been at the Capitol all day; and
consequently did not accompany. the
procession to the scene of the ceremo-
mics.
Two regiments of the paroIed corps,
a squadron of cavalry, a battery of ar
tillcry, and four companies of colored
troops, formed the military e,corts;the
Mayor and Ceunclmen of Washing
ton, tho Councilmen from Baltimore

LETTER FRom TnE PREs1DENr
.- y EXECUTIVE MANSION
WASHINGTON February 8, 1865.

-, - EXECUTIVE MANSION -
WASHINGTON FEBRUARY 8, 1865.
HIS ErceHency GorernOr Smth:
Complaint is made to me, by Ver-
mont, that the assignment of her quo
ia for the Draft on the pending call is
intrmsicalIy unjust, and also m bad
faith of the Governments promise to
fairly allow credits for men previously
furnished. To illustrate, a SUPPOSED
ease is stated, as follows;
Vermont and New Hampshire must
between them, furnish 6,GO0 men on
the pending call, and, being equals,
each must furnish as many as the 9TH
er in the long run. But the Govern
ment finds that, on former calls, Yer
mont furnished a surplus Of 500 and
New Hampshire surplus Of ! BOO
these two surpluses, making 1000, are
added to the 5000, making 5000 to
be furnished by the two States, or H.
900 each. less by fair credits. Then
subtract Vermont'ssurplus of 800 from
her 1000. leaves $500 as her quota
on the pending call and likewise sub,
tract New Hampshiros surplus of j.
800 from her 1000, leaves $500 as
her quota on the pending call. These
$500 and $500 make prcciselythe g..
600 which the supposed case requires
| from the two States; and it is just
equal, for Vermont to furnish LOOT
nor than New Hampshire, because New
Hampshire has heretofore furnished
200 more than Vermont, which
equalizes the burthcns Of the two il
the long run. And this result, so tal
from being bad faith to Vermont, is
indispensable to keeping good faith
with New Hampshire.
By no other result can the 6,0OC
men be obtained from the two States
and, at the same time, deal justly anC
keep faith with both; and we do but
confuse ourselves in questioning tho
process by which the right result wa'
reached.
The supposed case is perfect, as al
ILLUSTRATION, The pending call is No,
for 800, 600 men subject to fair credits
but is for 100000 remaining after aI
fair credits have been deducted, an'
it is impossible to concede what Yer
mont asks without coming out shor
of the 100000 men, or making othe
localities pay for the partiality show
her. Yours, Truly,
[Signod] A. LINCOLN.

Der 10, 1864, by three, to have the
number OF years of service upon that
call, and to this add tho excess, as as.
certained above, Then as the number
OF men enrolled from the whole Uni
ted States, up to the 31st Of December,
1864, is to tho period Of service, as
above asccrtained, so is the number of
men enrolled in u given district, to the
number of years of service it is requir-
ed to furnish, including its pro rata
share of the excess.
From this sum deduct the actual OK
cess the district furnished; the remain
der is the number Of years of service
which the district is required to fur
nish under the call of December 10Th,
1864, which, divided by three, gives
the number Of men required from the
district.
AS the call is for 100000 men, that
number cannot be reduced by men
going in for a period longer than one
year. inequalities produced by men
going in under this call for longer pc
riods than one year, must be cQualized
on future calls.
1t will be perceived that though the
aggregate Of the excess furnished, is
added to the whole call, the excess of
each district is afterwards substracted
from its quota. Thus the number of
men called for, is mother increased
nor diminished, but equality produced,
considering the number of men, and
the periods Of their service. Locali-
ties which have heretofore furnished a
greater amount of service have in pro
portion to their enrolment, less
amount to furnish under this, and
C c0nrerSO.
Men having heretofore enlisted for
one, two, and three years, it was ne
cessary to .ake one Of those periods as
the basis of calculation. AS three
years embraced both the other periods
lit makes the calculation more simple
to adopt that. The same result would
be arrived at by adopting either one
or two years as the basis, but the pro.
cess of calculation would be more com
plicated.
Such we find to be the rule adopted
by the Provost Marshal General, The
rule is in conformity with the require
ments Of the law OF Congress, and il
just and equitable.
We have carefully examined and
proved the work done under this ruIC
by the Provost Marshal General, anC
find that it. has been done with fair
ness.
We file in the Provost Marshal Gen
erals Office our calculations Of th'
: quota of each and every district endor
sed by us as correct.
