ANNUAL DEPARTMENT BEPOBT8.
We continue this morning the publication
of the reports which accompanied the Presi-
dtnt’s message to Congress. As we give
them in a condchsed form—setting fbrth all
the principal arguments, reeemmendations
and facts—they vnll doubtless be read more
universally than if given in full detail: T
REPORT or Tnc COMPTROLLER OF THE CCR-
.... RKNCY.
The report of the Hon. Freeman Clarke,
Comptroller of the Currency, occupies nearly
thirteen octavo pages, with an appendix of
130 pages, containing reports of the condi
tion of the Rational banks, abstracts of quar
terly statements, etc,.
^The Comptroller commences his report by
stating that during the year, i-:l n -« bank’s
were organired, 731 State banks converted
into national associations, making the total
number to November 1st, 1,001; of which
079 were new hanks and 923 conversions
from State banks. After giving the amount
of paper money in circulation, the Comptrol
ler proceeds to urge a return to a specie ba
sis, and suggests, as the most available meth
od of attaining it, the funding and conse
quent retirement of a portion of the inactive
circulation, ahown to bo now held in reserve.
By a gold valuation of our imports and ex
ports, it is estimated that a balance baa ac
crued against this country during the four
years previous to the 30th of June last of
$309,000,000. As. a remedy for this the
Comptroller recommends an increase of the
rate of duties just in proportion as the rate

Mu.LEDGEVJLI.lt, Nov. 38th, 3865. I
Radicalism Rebuked by the RadicRla.
The Louisville^oumal says: ‘-The New
York Evening Post has the reputation of be
ing a radical journal, but it evidently has no
respect for and is disgusted with those men
both in Congress and out or it, who appear
bent upon doing-what they can to humiliate
and exasperate the Southern people, to make
the work of restoration as difficult and as
slow as possible, and to put off the period of
final national harmony as long os possible.
-We are therefore gratified to find in that
ablepaper of tho 4th,the following rebuke of
those mischief-makers, men of bad eminence
and worse principles, or rather of no princi
ples except their own passions:
“Let windy orators, if such be their taste,
exhale their suspirations in harsh rebukes and
indignant censures; many of them have no
other means of attracting attention, while pro
fessions of loyalty just noware cheap; but the
legislature of a nation that has won the plau
dit of the world by its greatness in war
should aim to win an equal approbation by
its greatness in peace. As vigor, sternness,
passion, relentless energy aud endurance be
come tho one state, so magnanimity, kindli
ness, conciliation, and the sense of justice
and humanity become the other. Only nnr

and steel, thus rendering them entirely
of cold anti forei),'n exchange may recede, to
be followed by a graduated reduction of such
increase, say ten per cent, at the expiration
of each six mouths, until brought down to
flic original rate. In tlie meantime, by a
steady reduction of the volume of irredeem
able currency-and consequent reduction of
prices, wc' would be able once more to place
our manufactured and agricultural produc
tions on a footing that would enable them
to enter into successful competition with
those of other nations in tho markets of the
world.
As the first step to be taken towards a
(eduction of the Government issues used as
currency, the conversion of all the interest
bearing legal tender notes into 5-'20 six per
cent, bonds, is urged. It is also suggested
that the national currency act be so amended
as to allow an increase of the limit to tour
hundred millions of dollars, on condition only
that all the banks be required to redeem their
notes in New York, Boston or Philadelphia,
and ijlso that an issue of six per cent. o-20
bonds be authorized to the amount that it
will require to secure tlie additional circula
tion under the provisions of the act, which
bonds tlic banks, when organized, afaall pur
chase as each may require of the Secretary of
the Treasury, at such fair rates ns lie may
trom time to time prescribe, but not less than
their par value, and pay for the same in tho
United States legal tender notes, and all notes
so received, shall be cancelled and destroyed.
The tariff, it is suggested, can l>e so adjus
ted as to produce' $120,000,000, of which
$100,000,000 should be raised on whisky, malt
liquors and wines. It is estimated that the
cotton crop of next year will amount to be
tween two and a half and three millions of
biles, on which might lie levied a tax of
eight cents per pound, which would realize
•tls0.000.000, more than sufficient to pay the
interest on the public debt after tlic entire
amount js funded. Tlie license and stamp
duties, it is thought, could be dispensed with
after the next fiscal year. . .
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OK WAR.
The report of the Hon. E. M. Stanton, Sec
retary of War, occupies 48 pages. It is ne
cessarily considerably devoted to the opera
tions of tlic army and the closing record of
the rebellion, much of which is already famil
iar to tile general reader. After stating that
it is proposed to reduce the military estab
lishment to 50,000 men, the Secretary pro
ceeds to give a history of the events that suc
ceeded tlie end of the war, sueli as the stop
page of tlie draft and recruiting, curtailment
of the purchase of arms, reduction of the ar
my, &c.
WAR APPROPRIATIONS, KTC.
Tlie war appropriations at the last sessipn
of Congress amounted to tlic sum of $510,-
240,231 70. Tlie estimates for tlic next fiscal
year, commencing June 30, 1SG3,- arc $33,-
814,401 83. These estimates are based upon
a standing force of 30,000 men, sty organized
ns to admit of an increase,without additional
organizations, to 82,000. troops of all arms.
The force to he retained is small compared
with that which was organized to subdue the
rebellion. But the- only reasons demanding
greater force are—1st, renewal of the insur
rection ; 2d, a foreign war. For cither or
both emergencies tlie national resources re
main ample. Tnc chief demands for war, as
shown by our experience, are—1st, troops;
2d, anus and ammunition; 3d,clothing; 4th,
transportation, and 5th, subsistence supplies.
| ARMS AND AMMUNITION.
The disbanded armies were 'allowed to
take home their arms at a nominal price.—
The government retains in its arsenals more
than a million of the best quality of arms and
equipments. The artillery on hand tasks the
department for its means of storage. The
manufacture of ammunition requires materials,
for which we have in some degree relied upon
other countries, because they could not be
had cheaper. For this reason, and to guard
against any mischance, three years' stock of
material for ammunition has already been
kept in store, and the supply on hand is
ample for any war that may be waged against
us by any nation.
CLOTHING, SUBSISTENCE, ETC.
After selling or distributing among freed-
men and refugees all damaged or irregular
clothing, the stock of clothing and material
in tlie quartermaster's depots is sufficient for
any armies that may he called into service.—
The water transports and rolling stock,
mules, wagons ami horses, held by tlie gov
ernment were adequate to the movement and
supply of larger forces, in less time, than had
heretofore been known in war. The gov
ernment has disposed or is disposing of this
transportation, but it remains in this country,
and can answer any exigency. Army subsis
tence is derived from tlie country in which
military operations are carried on, or supplied
from other markets.' During the war this
most vital branch of the service never failed.
It answer to the demand, andis every ready
to meet the national call. It is plain, there
fore, that the abundance of our means for wax
enables the government of the United States
to reduce the standing force to a lower de
gree than any other nation. Unless war l>e
actually raging, tlie .military force can he
brought within very narrow limits. However
sudden the exigency calling for an exhibi
tion of military power, it can he promptly
met. With our education, habits and ex
perience, the nation, while in the midst of
peace, is prepared for war.
RECK CITING—ENLISTMENT OK BOVS, ETC.
From the report of the Adjutant General
it will be seen that the recruiting service of
the regular army is progressing favorably,
tlio rttimWnfjVKvrnifjfinlitijor] s,u -~ —1-
from October 31, 1864, to October 1,- 1865,
having been 19,555. The regiments compris
ing it have been distributed to stations, and
their ranks are rapidly filling up, thus fa
bling the department to relieve rcgiineata of
volunteer troop*. The present authorised
strength of the regular regiments i* 952 offi
cers and 41.810 enlisted men. This estimate
i.< made on the basis of 42 privates to a com
pany. the number now allowed by law, at all
except frontier posts. It is recommended that
the maximum standard be fixed at 100 enlis
ted men to a company.
Tlie Adjutant General recommends that
provisions be made by law for enlisting one
rview with the president mi the j hundred boys, not under twelve years of age,
as musicians, as was done before the laws of
1864 and 1865 prohibiting the enlistment of
minors under the age of sixteen years; that
the laws by which one half theix pay, during
the period of their absence, 19 lost bv officers
absent with leave for more than thirty days
in oue year, except from wounds or sickness,
be repealed, and that an act be passed pro
viding for the enlistment of meritorious disa
bled soldi™ as superintendents of the nation
al ermines, numbering about forty, each to
receive thr pay and allowance of an ordnance
sergeant.

There is tfted of tliia counsel, liecatne the
people of the South, misled by a few of their
old politicians, have not exhibited of late the
frank und manly spirit which we were nearly
all glad to welcome a lew months ago. YYe
are not a little impatient with the recent signs
of reconciliation. ; But there is' also need for
the same counsel in tlie comparative unanimi
ty of Congress. There is hardly opposition
enough threatened to keep up a wholesome
agitation of sentiment; nnd when such is the
case, then bodies of men are apt to run into
extremes- They excite each other by reci
procity of fervor, and find no checks in a
kecii and watchful hostility. But let these
legislators remember that tlie people are look
ing on, that the press ia alive, and that any
departure from the genuine, distinctive, fun

earnestly reproved. :• <

Business on Wall Street. New York.—
New York, Dec. 8.—The Post says business
in Wall street is extremely dull, and the
only feature of importance is the increase of
public confidence as indicated by the rise in
government securities, and by the decline of
gold. This improvement is attributed in
part to the satisfactory tone of the President’s
message, and to the decided policy of the
Secretary of the Treasury, relative to con
traction, and to the prospects of a reduction
in the expenses of the war and navy debts.
A Curiosity.
M. Lecomptc, the celebrated traveler and
naturalist, captured something about a year
ago, near Cape Horn, a full grown sea-lK.*ar,
which he has placed the in Zoological gar-b-n*:

ly six Teet in length, will stand on his bind
fins, sit on a chair, climb up a ladder, make
audible sounds to his owner, kb* him in the
most affectionate manner, with the fore-fins | 1

The form of his body and thoskin with |‘7?Vch
which it is covered, resembles a seal, while -
his upper jaw is very similar to that of a bull
dog, tlie color from the eyes to the nose being j
lark brown. The color of the skin ia a •

He has four fins, corresponding in situation
to the legs of a quadruped. The two occu
