Capture of the Gnerilla ‘‘Sue Munday”’ and Others. LovisviL_e, March 13.—An expedition con- sisting of fifty men, was sent out on Saturday, and surrounded, yesterday, morning, a barn in Webster, Meade county, capturing Sue Munday. alias Jeremiah Clark, Magruder, and “Henry Metcalt, after some resistance, in which three of our men were slightly and a fourth mortally wounded. The prisoners were brought here yesterday morning and lodged in the military prison. Magruder is suffering frem a recent wounu, and is not likely to recover. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETA- RY OF WAR. The Annual Report of Secretary Stanton, dated March Ist, has been printed. Thereport ‘was delayed in order to give General Grant an opportunity to furnish his summary of the mii- atary operations of the past year; but the activi- ty of the present campaign demands the Gen- eral’s unceasing attention, and the repert ap- pears without his record. Secretary Stanton says: « The military events of the past year have been officialy published by this Department from time to time as they transpired, and are fully known in every branch of this Govern- ment and throughout the civilized world. They constitute a reries of successful marches, sieges, nnd battles, attesting theendurance and courage of the soldiers of the United States, and the gallantry and military skill of their commanders, unrivalled in the history of na- tions. The campaign of the Army of the Potomac, and the cperations on the James river, the Ap- pomattox, and around Richmond and Peters- burg; the masterly operations of our army in Georgia. resulting in the eapture of Atlanta, Savannah, and other important military posts in that State; the reduction of the forts in the barbor of Mopile; the hard fought battles at Franklin and around Nashyille, resulting in the rout of the rebel army in Tennessee, tne succession of brilliant viciorles won by the Army of the Shenandoah; the successful storm- ing of Fort Fisher; the capture of Wilmington, Columbia, and Charleston, and other aghieve- ments of less note, all contributing to the tri- umph of the Union cause and the suppression of the rebellion, will be more appropriately de- tailed upon the coming in of the report of the Lieutenant General.” The report presents a brief sketch of the military establishment, omitting the exact strength of the forces now underarms. The following are the principal facis set forth: Twenty-one depots are established in the principal States for collecting and forwardi-g to regiments, volonteers, substitutes and draft- edmen. The Veteran Reserve corps has been of mueh eeryice in guarding these depots, and eseorting detachments to their regiments. There are alsosix special depots for recraits ealisted in rebel States by agents from loyal States. Boards of examination have been kept up to inquire into causes of absenee trom duty and alleged offences by officers. The effect has been to diminish the number of cases published and referred to the boards to three hundred and sixty-four for eleven momths; whereas, before their organization, from one hundred to two hundred were reported monthly for ab- sence without leave alone. The status of chaplains seems to be misun- derstoo. from the wording of the act of April 9, 1864, section 1.it is tnought by some chaplains thata new rank between the grades of major and captain is intended for them. This is supposed to be an error growing out of the nse of the term “surzeon” in the act, in- stead of smedical officer.’ The former as- similated rank of chaplains, in reference to alllowance of quarters and pay proper, was Seeptota.t and euch should now be their rauk. Over two hundred flags captured from the rebels have been received, properly labelled, and deposited for safe keeping. * a Medais of honor have been awarded in numerous instances to privates and non-com- missioned officers for gallant services. The plen of awarding gold and silver medals to Officers instead of brevets, toa certain extent, is commended to notice. It should not super- sede the conferring of brevet, especially in cases where such rank might be exercised in high commands. ‘he supplies produced during the past fiscal year imclude 1.750 pieces of ordnance, 2,361 artiflery carriages and caissons, 802,525 small ATMS, 791,055 sets of accoutrements and har- ness, 1,674,244 projectiles for cannon, 12,710,146 pounds of bullets and lead, 8,409,400 pounds of gunpowder, 169,490,029 cartridges for small arms. These are complete articles, in addition to the large quantities of the same kind of sup- plies partially made Pp. at the arsenals. The ordnance supplies furnished to the mili- ‘tary service during the fiscal year includes 1,41. pieces of ordnance, 1,896 artillery car- Tiages and caiseons, 455,910 small arms, 502,044 sets of accoutrements and harness, 1,313,753: rojectiles for cannon, 7,624,635 pounds of bul- ets and lead, 164,549 rounas of artillery am- munition, 152,067 sets of horse equipments, 112,087,553 cartridges for small arms, 7,544,044 pouncs of gunpowder. These supplies were im adcition tolarge ve of parts provided for repairs in the field, The capacity of the arsenals for the mannfac- ture of munitions of war has been increased during the year, and that increase is still going on, £0 far as the means appropriated will admit, Supplies manufactured at the arse- nals are of better quality and less eost than Has articles obtained by contract or pur- chase. The national armory at Springfield, Massa. chusetts, ean turn out three hundred thon: . and of the best quality of rifled muskets an- nually. Possession has been taken of Rock Island, Illinois, in pursuance of an act of Congress, and the requisite buildings for an arsenal there are in progress. There is on hand @ stock of three quarters of @ million of first class rifle smal) arms, ex- clusive of the arms in the hands of the troops, since increased to @ million and a uarter. $ The introduction of breach-loading arms for ae military service generally is recom- mende: The selection of a site fora genera} deposi. tory of gunpowder, and the erection of a suit- +> N°. 8,755. zine thereon, is recommenaea. In that connection, the construction of a govern- ment powder mill of sufficient capacity to make standard and proof powder and gun cot- ton, is also recommended. The procurement of a@ suitable ground for the proof and experimental firing of oreiance and small arms is urgently ad- Viced a8 @ mostessential want of the military service. During the year 27 cadets completed the course of studies and practice in the Military Academy, and were commissioned in thearmy. The smallness of this number grows out of tne resignations which occurred in this classinthe beginning of therebelllion. The classes at this time have the nsual strength corresponding to Congressional representation. The Commissary General of Subsistence re- ees) that the supplies of subsistence stores aye been mostly purchased in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Oinennati, Louisville, Chicago and St. Louis. ‘Beet cattle were furnished by contracts of short duration at most convenient places, and driven from the places of purchase to the field. Most of the stores were purchased by advertising, aceepting the lowest bids offered for suitable articles ateash prices. Attempts have insome casesfbeen made by individuals and associa- tions to monopolize and control the prices of articles required by the subsistence bureau, thereby creating much difficulty. The armies have been supplied with good and wholesome food, and large numbers of priconers and suffering .Union families have been furnished with subsistence. Generally the contractors and others have faithfully com- plied with their obligations. Officers employed in this branch of the service with but tew ex- ceptions have performed their duties with promptness in the field and at depots. During the year ending June 30, 1964, fifty-two tnon- sand four hundred and eighty-two quarterly or monthly accounts haye been examined and referred to the Treasury Department. The report of the (Juartermaster General coniains a statement of the operations and ex- penditures of the bureau under his control dur- ing the fiscal year. The clerical force authorized by law is, in his opinion, still insufficient to make that prompt examination of accounts and reports of dis- bursing officers desirable, and indeed necessa- ry, to secure. rigid accountability for the ex- penditure of the public money and property. An extension of the increase cf compensation granted by the last Congress to clerks of the lower grades, so as to include those of higher grades, isrecommended by the Quartermaster General, in view of the increased costof living in Washington. The Quartermaster General gives an ac- count of the measures adopted under the orders of the Secretary of War for equipping, supply- ing and moving the large army which, concen- trating last November on the banks of the Tennessee, fought under General Grant the battle of Chattanooga and opened the way tor the victorious campaign of the army under General Sherman, resulting in the capture of Atlanta and the opexeneny which are now in Progress in the State of Georgia. efforts made, the wonderful resources in men and material developed, the manner in which the steamboat and railroad intersects, the ag- ricultural and mechanical products of the valley of the Missiesippi, were laid under contribution in feeding, sapplying and moving in advance of over three hundred miles from its secondary, and four hundred and fifty miles from its primitive base, are de- scribed. The record is one creditable to the people who have developed such vast re- sources and placed them so patriotically at the Government, and also the & Vast a) disposal of the officers, their agents in this great work. clothing and materials parc’ transpertation of troops and supplies. In this service it is believe advantage to the service. fuel, forage and all necessaries. Col. roads, ments of the armies. The mobility of the armies has increased. The opinion held by some officers of rank in the earlier history of the rebellion, that an army could not be maintained except within reach of a navigable river or railroad, has been dispersed by such marches as those of Gen. Sherman, from Vicksburg, east of Meridian, and back to Vicksburg, from Memphis to Knoxville and back to Decatur, at atime when the railronds were not in operation; that of Gen. Burnside trom” incinnatiand Louisville, through Southeast Kentucky to Knoxville: that of Lieut. Gen. Grant from Washington to Petersburg, and the march of Gen. Sherman froin Atlargg toward the coast. The telegraph has continued to be a most ef- ficient and valuable aid to military operations. Six thousand five hundred miles of military telegraph have been in operation, of which 3.000, miles have been constructed during the year. About 1,000 persons have been employed in this work. Full reports are given of the quantities of clothing, gamp and garrison equipage tur- nished to the armies during the year. No dif- ficulty has been found in procuring ample supplies of good quality from domestic man- utacturers, with the exception of tents and blankets. Ina portion of these imported ma- terials have been used, as the domestic man- ufactories have not yet been able to supply all that were needed. Some frauds have been cemmitted, the autbors of which, it is be- lieved, will be brought to justice by measures now in progress, Some have already been convicted and eentenced to the penitentiary. The vast supplies of forage needed for our armies have been furnished generally with regularity. The difficulty of transporting-so bulky an article as hay has caused some irreg- ularity in its supply to armies in hostile dis- tricts, and it is remarked in this connection that the armies in actual movement draw less heavily upon the means of the department than those which rest long inactive in districts exhaused of supplies, and therefore drawing every necessary from the distunt loyal terri- tory. ‘The trains of the army are reported to be in good condition, thoroughly organized, move- able, perfect in material and equipment, and well supplied with animals and the means of repair. The purchase of horses for the cavalry was, during the fiscal year, under the direction of a branch ef the Quartermaster General's office, organized especially for that purpose, in con- nection with the Cavalry Bureau. Since the reorganization of this office uader the law of July 4, 1564, the purchase of all horses and mules for cavalry, artillery and the trains has been placed under the Shavge. of a single divi. sion ot the (Quartermaster General’s office. It is believed that this has resulted in advantage to the service by securing more direct and speedy responsibility, and a better and more uniform inspection, The supply of animals has been at the rate of about five hundred per day, which is also the average rate of their destruction. The cavalry of the Army of the Potomac was twice remounted during the first eight months of the present year. The pro. duction of the ountry seems to be able to bear the immense drain upou its horses and mules, and the stock, judging from the current prices, gives no signs of exhaustion or diminutio le The quartermasters’ trains of our armies Average one wagon to every twenty-four men in the field, and an army in the field, well equipped, with artillery, cavalry and trains, requires one horse or mule, on the average, to every two men. The number of horses and mules is nearly equal. — The ground appropriated for a cemete: near the “Seldiers’ Home,” im the Distri having been filled, a national ceme- tery has been established at Arlington, on the south bank of the Potomac, in which saveral theusand interments have already been made. The names of the soldiers here buried are registered. Those who fell repelling the rebel attack or the capital last July have beer buried on the battle-field north of Fort Stevens.

The Quartermaster General states that the views expressed in his report of 1862, inregard to the aid to be expected and derived trom the colored population, Rave been confirmed two years’ experience. These persons BAve been extensiv: employed in the labors ef qvartermaster General's bureau, where eac! one so employed released a white soldier from the labor, and restores him to his place ip line of battle. Their extensive enlistment has created a demand, however, beyond the supply; application being made to the Quartermaster eneral for such labor with the armies before © Richmond, which he was unable to provide, he endeavored to procure colored men from the departments of the Atlantic and Galf coast, where it was publicly reported that they were suffering for want of employment. None could be obtained from those departments, however, The commanaer of one of them reported that they were all wanted for laber necessary to the success of military operations or for other public service, and that nota man, weman, or child, could be spared. One hundred and eighty-two hospitals, with @ capacity of eighty-four thousand foar hun- dred snd seventy-two beds, were in operation at the dato of the last annual report. Daring be eummer campaign it was found necessary to establish sdditional ones, and Increase the capacity ofthore nearest the scenes of active operations, giving one hundred and ninety hoepitals, with a capacity of one hundred and twenty thousand five hundred and twenty-one beds om June 30, 1964. During the year the health of the entire army was better than is usual with troops engaged to constantly on active duty and im arduous campaigns. No destructive epidemics prevailed in any section, and the number of sick and wounded, although large, has been comparatively small in the proportion it bore te the whole army. Atthe close Of the year the number of sick and wounded, both with theircommands and in general hospitals, was less than sixteen per cent. of the strength oftheaamy. The number sick with their respective commands was four percent, andin general Hospitals five and three tenths percent, of thestrength, Of the six and forty-six hundredths per cent. woun- ded, nearly one per cent. were with their re- spective commands; the rest in general hospi- tals. The enrollment lists, November 1, contained 2,794,226 names. The resvits of the drafts made in 1663 and 1561, show that, on the jist day of July last, there was no material deficiency inthe United States on the quotas of troops required, such Jocalities as were behind having been drafted for the amounts due-from them. The draft ‘was made under the call of July 19, 1864, was in progress at the date of the Provost Marshal General’s report. This drattcame on during the heat of the late Presidential campaign, and resistance to it was threatened in many places and in some actually organized. The Provost Marshal General justly claims special credit tor theofficers acting under him for the firm- ness and fairness with which they executed the law of Congress and the orders of the Govern- ment in making this draft, and for the success which attended their efforts. Enrollment and draft expenses last year amounted to $4,016,728, Over 136,000 veteran soldiers re-enlisted for three years in the fall of (S03. Deserters and strrgglers arrested last year numbered 39 392. The veteran reserve corps numbers 761 officers and 25,938 men. The results of the recruitment under the act of July 4, 1964, for recruiting in rebel States, are reported as unfavorable. Commutation money received up to Novem- ber 1, 1864, from drafted men, while permitted by law to secure exemption by payment of $300. each, is appropriated by act of Congress ‘for the expenses of draft, and for the procuration of substitutes.” A large part of it Das been used, and the remainder is required for other purpoees. The report of the Judge Advocate General shows that the business of this bureau has tinued steadily to increase. 1ts important du. ties are believed to be faithfully performed, while, as was anticipated, the new organiza- tion given to the office by the actof last session is found to have added mach to the efficiency of its operations. The general exchange of prisoners effected under the instructions of this department by Lieut. Gen. Grant, is in course of diligent ex- ecution, and it is hoped that all of nr peiaet= ers who are in the hands of the rebels will soon. be returned. A furlough of thirty days is ex. tended to them as they are ret ; to the eamp at Annapolis. To the chiefs of bureaus and their suboerdi- nates the thanks of the War De ent are due, the Secretary says in conclusion, for their unwearied industry, vigilance and general naety, in the discharge of their respective uties, ENAMELING THE SKIN.—A correspondent of the New York Mercury, writing from Phila- delphia says: I think I have discovered the eecret of the peculiar beauty of the Philadel- phia ladies.
