SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW Yusk HERALD.

Co-Operati0n with Prussia.
DRESDEN, August "a, 1866
The King Of Saxony has issued an order
directing the Saxon ministers and government
officials TO give friendly cooperation to the
Prussian officers In all cases.

arge territory which once was composed
of the Southern Rebel States. Con-
gress will, without doubt, make all needful
regulations for the government Of that sec
tion, and take such steps as will, indeed,
make treason odious. That issue has been
settled by the Northern people, and will be
executed by their Representatives
While, therefore, these important questions
will, we doubt not, be we'll attended to, we
have grave tears lest the excitement of this
political work will so far distract attention as
to cause them to lose sight Of yet more i'm
portant issues, which do not properly fall
under the head of politics. We refer to the
questions of finance and tariff. If there is an
instrument which must be handled most
delicately, that instrument is the circulating
medium OF a country. Any violent measure,
whether for good or i'll, will at once produce
bad effect. Gradual and careful change
must be made where anything is wanting,
and delberation and financial skill must
guide all who seek to control the
world of commerce. Until the report
Of the Secretary of the Treasury is made
public, we forbear to recommend such mea-
su1es as we feel are necessary to the national
welfare. We viii, however, lay down but
cardinal doctrine on which we are to move.
Contract gradually, fund Immediately, and
protect American industry. The insinuations
thrown out by Mr. David A. Wells, lead us to
distrust him and every bill which is framed
by his sanction. He is willing to sacrifice
Pennsylvania in order to aid New England.
We direct the especial attention of our dele
cation to his measures, and feel sure that by
timely watchtulness we can defeat any such
combination. But we do most earnestly hope
that the short time allowed for action will
not be frittered away in speech making, or so
engrossed with other things as to lead to the
neglect Of our most important interests.
Although the present is the short session,
there is no need of any hasty legislation. The
assembling of the Fortieth Congress on the
4th of March will insure proper delibera-
ton on all important questions. The power
is in the hands of the Republican party. All
of the glory of successful administration. and
all of the responsibility of needless legislation,
will rest on them. If, through neglect, they
allow the nation to be injured, they will be
held strictly accountable. Let them so act
that the people say, "Well done, good
and faithful servants; the confidence we have
reposed in you, and the interests we placed
in your hands, you have guarded most
sacredly."

Report of the Secretary of War.


THE report of Hon. Edwin NJ Stanton, which
we publish elsewhere, deals rather in statis-
ties than opinions, but the figures given speak
which the War Department has been con-
Quoted, and the wonderful spirit and resources
of our nation. people who can furnish on
demand an army OF million and a half of
men are indeed great, but still greater is the
nation that can within a year receive back
into its ranks Of subjects an army of that
size, and yet feel none of the tumults which
have always attended the disbandment of
military force. The rapid increase of our
martial force when needed is only equalIed
by the rapidity with which it was diminished
when the emergency was passed. When the
war terminated, on May 1, 1865. we had
force of 1,034,064 men. On the 1st of Novem-
Der, 1866, the number stood II ,042. Within
eighteen months more than million soldiers
had become citizens, and yet no arrangement
of our civil polity was felt. That country
may well be proud OF her sons who, while
invincible in war, can as easily adapt them
selves 10 the requirements of peace. At
present our total military force counts I'D
1900 volunteers and $4,000 regulars
grand total of $4,000 soldiers, where but TWO
years ago 100000 were employed.
In reference to the arms used in our service,
the Secretary appointed commission, who,
after three months Investigation, have secured
a weapon which we are assured is 'better in
all respects than the Prussian needle-gun,
while its metallic ammunition is regarded as
superior to the latter" This piece of in(or-
nation, together with the assurance that
our Notifications are much strengthened and
that, although disbanded, an army OF 1,0OO,O0
men could be collected together at once If
needed ian assertion made twice in the Re
port), will do more to keep peace with for
eiGn powers than any OF the cringing com
promises favored by the Secretary OF State.
The Secretary assures us that the Freed
mems Bureau is working energetisally to
educate the freedmen, and now 10000 chill
dren attend its schools. On application of
the States, rations have been, and will be.
dealt out to paupers.
The estimates needed by the War Depart-
ment Tor the fiscal year ending June 80, 1865
is $25 ,2O5,6 $3.50, while the Freedmens Bureau
asks $3,836, 800 as its share.
| Such is the substance of the body of the
Report, while the Voluminous documents
which accompany it give details, none of
which attract much attention, except the Re
port of the GeneTal-in-Chief.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-12-03

aging They are conclusive evidence of the great
ness OF our resources and they clearly indicate the
patience of the people under Sc fmposed burdens
and their unwillingness that this deDt should be
perpetual lneumbrance upon the country
1t IS not expected, Is il perhaps desirable that
the same rate Of reduction should be continued A
considerable diminuton OF taxes was effected by the
ameDdme nts of the internal revenue law the last
session OF Congress further dmlDutlon OF inter-
nal taxes, and modification of the tariff, which will
doubtless lead to reduction of customs duties on
many articles, will bo required in order that prOduc
ton may be increased and life infused INTO GER
tain branches OF industry that are now languishng
under the burdens which have been imposed upon
them. "a
But, after the proper and necessary reductions
shalI nave been made, the revenues Will doubtless
be sufficient, if the Government shall be ecOnOmi-
caly administered, TO pay the current expenses the
at the rate Of from four to Ave millions per month
In order that this may be however, there must

That " is the will OF the people that it should be
paid, and not perpetUated, Is clearly indicated by
the favor with which ITS rapid reduction during the
past year has been rewarded. The idea that a

The Work before Congress,

AT noon to-day the gavel OF Speaker Col
fax called the House of Representatives to
order, and the second session of the Thirty
ninth Congress commenced 1t is in no
spirit of exaggeration that we say that the
duties devolylng on that body are the most
vitality important of any that have ever
come before our National Legislature. The
whole land has been ploughed up by the war,
the old order of things has been overturned,
and eighteen months of peace have utterly
failed to arrange new foundation. 1t is for
this session to rectify the mistakes of the
pasti and provide tor enlightened progress in
the future. 1t would be well if, in its efforts
to improve, it avoid the rocks on which the
good intentions of so many of its p1ede-
cessors have been wrecked. iH
The most obvious advice which the North
ern people give to their Representatives, and
on the adoption of which rests all the hope OF
successful and efficient action, is to avoid
speech making. The past few months have
afforded every man who had speech pre-
pared on any subject, an ample opportunity
to "get it off" as many times as his ambition
desired. All the ground of political argu-
ments have been gone over again and
again, and no set speech will tend to throw
any more light on any subject. Remember
ing the adage, that speech is silver,
silence is gold," let us return to gold basis
as soon as possible. r5.5 1l.etrI a8uH
Having adopted this cardinal principle, a
fair opportunity will be allowed for calm and
dispassionate argument, and the preparation
OF such measures as the public welfare de-
mands. 1t requires no spur to prick the sides
OF those intent to avenge political treachery,
and remove from Office all those who have
purchased place at the sacrifice of princi-
pie. That such is the evident determination,
the hxed purpose of the Congress of the
nation, we are perfectly assured. So, also, in
regard to the laws properly applicable to that

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS. - The Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly, lately in ses-
sion at Memphis, after long and interesting
debate on the relations of the freedmen to
the Church, finally decided, by unanimous
vote, that they should be received into full
fellowship in the Church, and on equal
grounds, as brothers in Christ. Such a deci-
sion would have been impossible during the
days Of slavery. The idea of Ohristtan fel-
Io'oship with valuable piece OF property
that you were about to sell on the auction
block to the highest bidderwas simply absurd.

The difficulty of getting the right men

TT is a curious fact that negro suffrage
once existed in Tennessee, and to it, at
one time John Bell owed his seat in
