UEPOR'l’OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
>1 j, 1 (Continual.)
' Having twico brought to your notice the impor
tance of establishing a national foundry, I fed
•bum reluctance to speak of it a third time; but
the uoce**ity of tiur possessing on efficient train
of field artillery, an ample nrnnnnnt for the lbiti»
(Ications, is so urgent, that this defect in our sys*
I tom ia constantly forced upon my notice. In a
country situated like ours, and governed liy a
poll icy Which seeks the greatest good tp the great
est numbers, warlike preparations ought to he
chiefly, if not altogether, defensive, and a numer
ous and well-appointed, artillery, combined with
tho skill and character of our light troops, together
with the extent of 6nr means to compel an enemy'
to keep together in masses, will constitute the
.most effective elements of defence throughout
every portion of tho Unltedsjtatos. In attaining
thtt omlvwhich has been kept steadily in view for
'the last two years', the Department has encount
ered great oust icles from the waut of a national
establishment where experiment* ran bo made
and, perfect models constructed. ‘'The small arm#
msni'actured, or rawer tho*$ winch will be urid**
henceforth in this country at die private as well as
national armories, will challenge a comparison
with any ' in tho world. This desirable end bus
been brought abouUby improvements begun and
perfected iu the national armories; and, by re
quiring the same improvements in their machinery
equuljy.good arms will he obtainedfrora the pri
vate contractors. But we have no means of pur
suing the same method in founding camion, and
tho result has been an uncertainty in their manu
facture, which may bo attended at some future
period with tho most fatal consequences.* VTlicte
wonid likewise be very great economy iif having
a national manufactory of gunpowder, and at all
* events un appropriation ought to be made at the
present session to'enahlo the Department to I n
in a stock nr materials for the manufacture of tins
necessary article. Iu answer to.its inquiries on
this subject, the Department learned, with great
anxiety, that there was not a sufficient supply of
saltpetre or sulphur in the country, at the close of
the lost session of Congress, for three monllis’
supply of onr armies in case of war. This defi
ciency has been partially remedied; but the war
Department ought to be authorized to keep on
band at leasts twelve month's supply of these
necessary articles, which may bo stored for any
length of tirno without risk ofdestruction ordcicr-
* iorntion. *
While speaking of die wants of the ordnance,
it affords me great pleasure to be able to state lliat
there has been lately an improvement in tho or
ganization of that branch of tho service, combin
ing economy,with greater efficiency, and that the
board of ordnance, officers which 1 was authorized
to employ last year has been assiduously cngi g ;;l,
and has made great progress in reducing to a sys-
* tem die mode o f fabricating all kinds ofordnance
stores, and in fixing tlieir patterns, forms, and di
mensions. Thtf* construction of war rockets has
been commenced, and experiments'are in.pro-
grass to traUhnjr effects; while those which !nvc
* been tried in firing hollow shot from howitzers of
the largest caliber* have been entirely satisfactory.
The new buildings authorized by Congress for
arsenals, magazines, and depots ofanns, urc in
progressofcoiutniction. and the works generally
have been pressed on as far as the fniids Would
, permit.
At the risk, of being importunate, I must again
■Jirge thfc expediency of selling the mineral lands.
Experience has confirmed the Views formerly pre-
muiivp on- inis subject, and proves concltiiively
that no benefit whatever results to tho . United
States from, the present system of leasing them,
whHe the' advancement nf that portion of tbc„
pouritry is sensibly retarded, and the -product of
the minin^'operdtions much diminished by it.
The duties of the Quartermaster's dapartment
have been performed with an ability and prompti
tude, ,which rpfiect the highest credit, on ail its
officers, and their oceounls have been retidcred
•with commendable despatch and accuracy. Its
present organization is sufficient to enable it to
* discharge all the duties which may devolve upon
it in peace«or war; nnd while it has contributed
essenally to the efficiency of the «*»rv jc.it has intro
duc’d great economy iu t&$ administrative brunches
of the Army,
The works under the direction of the Quarter
master General have been carried on as rapidly*
as circumstances would permit. The southern
section of the great western road, extending from
*' the Red River to the Arkansas, (one hundred and
forty miles,) has,, been completed. The middle'
section, extending from Fort Leavenworth to
Marius de Cyzue, seventy-two miles, bus also
been finished, and measures havo been taken to
continue the work to Spring River, eighty-six
miles further. One hundred and twenty-eight
miles will then remain of the route to Arkansas,
which will ho ivorkdd upon the next season. The
surreye:me rants from Fort l/rivBiiwvrih to
Fort Spelling has boon completed ; but as the
country presents an open prairie, that may he
traversed in uli directions without difficulty, I
shall rjotdbmoro than mark out the most direct
route, unles otherwise instructed by Congres*.
Tho difficulty of obtaining labors at fort Smith
has retarded the progress of that work. The de
fences projected on the Illinois River west of the
boundary of Arkansas, have been commenced
by n dpfhrhtov»nt of t?»??!f>r Lfctitcn^nt
ColonelMnson, and wilfbe prosecuted vigorously
tho next* season.
I beg once more to call your attention to the
subject of paymasters, nnd to repeat iny recom
mendation that two of the present paymasters
should ho appointed ousifitant paymasters gener
al, with the pay. and emoluments of * lieu lent
colonels, who lit addition to tlieir peresenl dates,
shnuM'havo the superiauiudeuce ofsucfi officers
oftkis’brauch of the service us soiYe with armies
iu flip field ; and further, renew my applica
tion iu favor of allowing paymasters employed
inpaying volunteers and militia in active sendee
a small'per centuge, to cover unavoidable losses
nnd ,didaIlovy(tncetf in tjie settlement of tlieir ac
counts.
It will bo seen by the report of the Surgeon
General that the inedicnl stuff of the Army has,
been actively and -stoadily employed during
tho past season. ; Tbo officers of that important
branch of the service deserve great credit for die
manner in which they have discharged tlieir labori
ous and roapousible duties. The disposition they
matiifest to aval! themselves of every opportuni
ty to collect facts which may afford useful contri
butions to scicntto is-justly appreciated by the
Department, and will be encouraged. The ex
tensive disbursements oftke medical officers ren
der it necessary that the bureau, hero should lie
able to axuct the.priciest accountability from thorn,
nnd to examihp and revise the ncootintu, so as to
closo tueiu monthly, if possible. Owing to the
want.ofproper assistance, they had been suffered
to fall iiiio arrears, uud have only been brought up
hy kbsping in the bureau an officer of the corns
IVomrimportant duties in the field. I recommend
therefore.-that tjm office hufe bo ailowod tin ad-
* ditiomlcleric. %
Tim extensive system of river and harbor im
provements involving, m it does, a very largo ex*
t ienditurn of public money,.-requires revision,
>o!h iu Regard to tho principle upon* which such
improvement* ought to he authorized ami the
uiajmcrin which they ought to be conducted.
*: ' : ' '
ft is nppnront that too many of those works have
nven authorized without that doodled examination
which Is necessary,to dctermlno either their ex
tent or general use fulness, and commenced with-,
out inquiring whether tho advantage^ to result
from their completion nro commensurate to the
cost of their construction.
Many of tho iirtiticiitHiarbors,therefore,nro alto-
go the r too small for tho trade they are intended
to shelter. Bomo of them nro misplaced,
while other*, again, hive been commenced with
so little judgment, dial iuvould prove a cheaper
process to tnovo tho town ton convenient posi
tion, tliau to, remove the obstacle* which obstruct
tho olmtulol of the river that loads up to it; and
yatlarge Mtmaofmoucy havehecnoxpuud'd in tho
latter attempt. Tho already important and daily
increasing trado ofthe great lakes and estuaries
which onrnmp'.n.!* nnd indent tho United States,
demands • It *. rostering caro of tho Government;
hut,in order that Its interference tnay be effectually
nnd constitutionalyiexerted,it ought to he confined
to works ns are of general utilit),niMl not extended
into every crook or inlet where n favored village
may require easier access for a market boat. This
abuse, which is calculated to bring tho whole
system into deserved disrepute, can only he reme
died hy directing a previous examination to be
made hy this Department into the nature ortho pro
posed work, and n full report on the proper me
thod of obtaining tho object contemplated, setting
tintli tin* public.jiot partial, advantages likely to
result from it, as well os the probable, cost oi' its
completion.
I beg leav.o, through you,to offer my objections
to ;h’r?s’rictions(sometimes imposed hy Con
gress on tho manner of conducting works of in
ternal improvement. Tho appropriation is fre-
tuotuly accompanied hy directions to expend
the money according to ii given plan. Now, it
notnnfrequentty happens, that when the plnti to
which the Department is confined comes to he
well examined, U is found to bn inapplicable, and.
heretofore, large sums have been thrown away in
attempts to carry them out, became the engineers
dW not think themselves authorized to 'alter or
amend them- in any partietdaf. On the roast and
mi navigable waters, unles of wind or flood may
affect, so matorinlly, tho htructure of tho place to
he worked upon, ns to require a total change of
plan; or improvement may" ho discovered or
-i.g e»ted, which never occurred tonne original
projector, aud which may require an entire nkora-
liaii in the mode of conducting tho work, inorJcr
to secure efficiency nnd economy in its execution.
Tho light-house projected on tho Brandywine
-hoff is an'exaiuple of tho nemicioii3 ciTecIs of this
restriction. To execute this work, according to
the plan adopted by Congress, will rcqttirn so
much more than tha sum appropriated, that it has
been deemed prudent not to begin the work at all
until the whole estimated cost is placed at the dis
position ofthe Department; die situation of tho
site rendering it very hazardous to leavo a half
finished work exposed to the fury of tho avoids
and waves- Whereas, it is possible, if die De
partment were IcA at liberty to net, that the object
might be attained at inttch’less expense.
VJJki report of the Chief of the Topographical
Engineers'containing a more than usually detail
ed 'statenfeutof theliistorv and progress' of tho
worjcauiftler tjje iunuediato superintendence of
th 'l officer, will be presented in «rfew days; to-
ge ! er with detailed estimates of the probable cost
of each work, nnd of the sums required from year
to year; the same course will he pursued with
respect to tho improvements and civil works un
der die .superintendence of die Chief Engineer,
so as to present to Congress, at one view, the
whole suhjectof internaliinprovcmcnt. The plan
of district nnd general inspection and supervision
hy superior officers of Topograpliical Engineers,
lately adopted, seems calculated to ensure the
faithful execution of the works tinder their charge.
Many officers of this corps have been, actively
employed during the past summer in the dis-
tlurge of tiieir military duties, rendering services
which justify the expectations entertained by the
Department when it writ incorporated into the
service. Borne few works of internal improve
ment remain trader the superintendence of* the
Chief Engineer, and an account of dieir^progress
will ho found in the annexed report of that officer,
it is highly gratifying to mo to be able to speak,
froufmy own personal, observation ofthe activity,
order, and good management which reign through
out the works, both miliary and civil, which are
conducted by the officers of this corps.
The present condition of the Military Academy
at west Point is very s atisfactory. The importance
of this institution to the character of the Army
is fully understood hy the Department, and its in
tern will he watched over with vigihuccand care.
i cannot refrain from again calling your at
tention to the couditiun of ibe barracks at this
post. The objections urged to the miserable ac
commodations of the soldiers apply to thuiiarters
provided fortlie cadets. A proper regard for ihe
health, morals, and discipline of the corps requires
that a more spacious and commodious building
should be erected there. I recommend to your
favorable consideration tjte suggestions or the
Chief Engineer iu relation to the practical instruc
tion of th® caRta iu Geld engineering, and tire
creation of a body of sappers and miners. No
army can ho considered complete and in a condi
tion to take the field, without n corps ofwcll-
iustructed engineer soldiers; which, to be elTcc.
five, must ho taught their important duties in time
of pc?ce. The services of such men will he highly
useful and economical at all times, not onlya%
aids to the .instruction of the cadets, hut in the
preservation of tho foriilications when they are.
as at present, stripped of their garrisons by the
exigencies of the servic.
. Finding soino deficiencies in the drecoon service,
a* to ils regulations aud details, witn your per
mission, three youiig officers of the first regiment
have been sent to the cavalry school atSamnur,
to he followed next year by an equal cumber
from the secopd reginfeul. Every facility faas
been afforded by the^rench Government to car
ry out this arrangement.
Recent examinations of courts martial have
tsavsuccsl o. iho necessity ot some further
legal provisions and fixed rules to render them
efficient, as well ns fair and impartial tribunals.
Justice to the Public and to the Army requires
that this should be done with as little delay a«*
possible. From the want of power to compel
the attendance of citizens ns wltnc-es, of ,1
firoper guide, and a welRnstructod judge advo
cate to aid the officers composing the courts, their
decisions are uncertain, frequently loose uud con
tr.idie’orv, nod loo nU«»o pnnfll-r *-:!h *thc~c C**
preceding courts.. I beg leave, therfore, rcapeet-
fully to recommend that n written system for the
diiection of courts martial'he prepared, which
uvy be frfined so as to lie made applicable to the
laud nnd sea service, and that a judge advocuto bo
appointed.

MISS SIIIllBEFF AND MU. WILSON.
There is a ciioutnstnnco connected with those
most interesting strangers, Which we havo not
hitherto mentioned, nnd which* we are sure will
touch Uic hearts of our good citizens—eVcn if they
cannot he softened with music. Miss Suhirkff
and Mr. Wilson, came to this country under most
flattering and brilliant engagements at the Nation
al Theatre, Now-York—and for a portion of tho
time fur which that eugagemeut was made, they
ran away with the town. For the first time in the
history of Now-York, a rival was found able to
copo with the Park Theatre, and a Mauager who
dared such an undertaking. Mr. W allack was
that Manager, and Miss BHiiuiEFFand Mr. .Wil
son, were iiis greatest cards. Tho former was tho
prima donna of English opera, unrivaled andun-
approached byuny one at the Purk, until that un-
fortunato night, when the Nutiou&l was burned
down, Wallack ruined, and tiieso strangers now
within our gates, thrown upon their own resour
ces. W
Will tlie Ladies of Savannah sulfur such an op
portunity to slip, by, without improving it 1 It is
not every day that a great metropolitan Theatre
is burned down, and such artist* thrown upon
our shores. Let all lovers of nntsic, then, go to
night—there is a fine selection from favorite Op
eras, offered in the programme—and such sing
ing ns there will bo ? ’twill wake tho very birds on
the trees.
Seldom is such an opportunity offored for pa
rents to present a fine model to their daughters in
the divine art; and we trust that there is not a
Miss in the city, who is taking innsic lessons, tfuU
will not go. Give theip a bumper, for the honor
and credit of old Savaunah, and for the sake of
generosity to these burnt-out strangers in our
laud.
One single cavatina from the Shirrf.ff, is
worth a!! the tawdry tbcatricaL in the world, and
the sternest and gravest moralist cannot object to
such u rational and delightful amusement. No
one ever bad his heart hardened by music—on the
contrary, it rouses up and revivifies many a long
slumbering, generous and virtuous emotion. He
is a hardened profligate, or a goalless creature, in
whom the Shhireff will not find some tcuder
chord responsive to her masterly touches. Let
only those, then, who are fit for treason, strata
gems and murder, stay away.

MACON AND AUGUSTA MAILS.
I wish, Mr. Editor, to enquire through tho me
dium of your paper, why it is that the Macon aud
Augusta Mails ore now carried from this place to
the Eighty Mile Station of the Central Rail Road
and Banking Company, in a Sulkey t Why arc
.Mails of such vast importance to the Merchants of
this city, by which largo amounts of money are
daily transmitted, suffered to be carried in tluri
insceuteconveyance! 'There is scarcely a day in
.the year that the Mail by such a conveyance,
would not be robbed with perfect impunity; and
*f it has gone safe thus far, it can only be attribu.
ted to the little value tho robber bus placed upon
the existing currency of our State.
I have understood that the Macon Mail has been
carried by the Centra! Rail Road and Bunking
Company for the last four months, ending on the
firat ofthe present month, free of charge, and uu-
willing to continue such nn arrangement, it has
been transferred to the Sulkey.
It is notalou® the insecurity of tho present con
veyance, that is a subject of complaint—hut the
great loss in time. Passengers by the Rail Road
arrive hero at 3 P. M., and letters by the Mails,
which leave Mucon and Augusta at the same
tune, ere uot received until tho following morning,
at 7 o’clock. The same Mails closo at 5 P. M.,
and passengers leaving hy Rail Road fiffeon hours
later, arrive in Mucon und Augusta with the
Mails
Year after year our Merchants petitioned the
Post blaster General for n direct Mnil to Macon,
which was denied, until pricate subscription rai».
vd die moony and UAMtifiishcu the line or lour
horse post coaches, which now connects with the
Central Rail Road aud Banking Company, eighty
miles from this city.
Why is this eternal warfare.hy the Post Master
General, against our Merchants ?
Tho establishment of the Post Office Depart-
merit was originally intended for tho public eonre-
nience—but Mr. Kcndull overlooking its originnl
design, has endeavored to convert it into a source
of rcyenue.
In the presont controversy, I am aware that
there are some in our community, who think the
Post Muster Geuerui has done all he could consis
tently with Ins duty, to continue a contract with
the Central Rail Road and Banking Company*
and that ho Wosonly driven into his present posi
tion by its exorbitant demands.
The Stockholders of tho Central Rail Road and
Bankiug Company, have embarked in an enter,
prise worthy of all praise und duserving of every
encouragement; and, however promisingtha ft-
nal result may be, it is known that at present, it
does not yield a fair return for the investment.
If tho Company offer greater facilities for car
rying tho mnil tlinn Post Coaches, it is, in propor*
tion to tho increased cost of providing theso fa-
citifies, and the incrcused convenience to tbo pub
lic, entitled to greater pay.
It is rumored that there is a long correspon
dence with the Pest Office Department, on this
subject. If so—let us have it, that wo may judge
who is in tho wrong.
If tho Manager’s ofthe Central Rail Road and
Banking Company are wrong, tlieir duty to their
Stockholders oud the community, ns well as their
high sense of honor, wilt hidnco them to rctrtce
their stops. \ \
On the other hand—If tho Post Muster General
is in tho wrong, lot us know U, that wo may once
npponr ut tho doors of his peportinout and de
mand ourriglits. P*

vantage of the first rise in the river, the ware-house
nre full, and our stock at present on hand cannot he
le*s than 33,000. The receipts for the past week or
two have been light—but innjt of that received has
been sold at prices ranging from 6J to 81 cents—prin
cipally at 7J to 8. From waro-houses the salea dur
ing the week reach 1500 bales, which wero disposed
of ns follows; 31 aC?, 18 ut?J; 131 at 8,155 at 8), 331
