Accordingly, in the latter part of Octo- os addressed the following letter to ibe s Secretary of War — To the Eon, Simon Camron, Secretary of War:— ‘Six—In couformity with a personal understanding with the President yesterday, I have the bonor to submit the following statement of the condition of the army under my command, and Measures rojuired for the pre- poe of the government and the suppression of the rebellion It wilt be remembered that in a memorial I had the honor to address to the Presideut, soon after my arrival an Washington, ond in my communication addressed to Lieutenant General Scott, under date of the 8th of August, in my letter to the President, authorizing bim, at bis re- quest, to withdraw the letter written by me to General Scott; and in my letter of the 8th of September, answer- ing your note of inquiry of that date, my views, on the Same subject, are frankly and fully expressed, In these several communications I have stated the force I regarded as necessary toepable this army to ad- vance with a reasonable certainty of success, at the same time leaving the capital and the line of the Potomac sut- ficiently guarded vot only to secure the retreat of the main army, in the event of disaster, but to render it out of the eucmy’s power to attempt a diversion in Mary- aud. ‘So much time has passed, and the winter is approach- ing 80 rapidly, that but two courses are left to the gov- ernment, viz:—Xither to go into winter quarters or to assume ‘the offépsive, with forces greatly inferior in numbers to the army 1 regarded as desirable and ne- cessary. If politieal considerations render the first course unadvisabie the second alone remains. While I regret that it hag not been deemed expedient, or, per- haps, possible, to concentrate the forces of the nation in this ‘vicinity (remaining on the defensive elsewhere) — keeping the attention and efforts of the government fixed upon this as the vital point, where the issue of the great contest is to be decided, it may still be that, by introducing unity of action and design among the yarious armies of land; by de- termining the courses to be pura x rious commanders under one goveral plan, transferring from the other armies the superfiuons strength not re- quired for the parpose in view, and thus reinforcing this main army, whose destiny it 3 to decide the coptrover- sy, we may yet be able to move with a reasouable pros- pert of success be’ore the winter is fairly upon us. ‘The nation feels, and 1 sharo that feeling, that the Fv of the Potomac holds the fate of the country in its ry ‘The stake is so yaat, the issue so momentous and tho effect of the next battle will be so important throughout the future as well as the present, that | continue to urge. as I have ever dene since I entered upon the command of this army, upon the governmont to devote its energies And its available resources toward increasing the numbers and efficiency of the army on which its salvation depends.

INSTRUCTION TO GENERAL BALLEOK HyapQuaRTers OF THE ARMY, Wasuxatow, D. C., Nov, 11, 1861 Major General HW. Haitxcx, 0S. A., commandiy partment of Missouri. GsvenaL—In agsigaing you to the command of the Le Partment of Missouri, itis probably unaecessary¥for mo to state that Ihave intrusted to you a duty which requires the utmost tact and decision. You have not merely the ordivary duties of a military commmader to perform, but the far more diflicuit task of Teducing chaos to order, of changing, probably, the ma jority of the personnel of the statf of the department and of reducing to a point of economy conststent with the interests and necessities of the State a system of recklesa expenditure and fraud perhaps unboard of before iv the history of the world. You will find ta your department maoy generat aad stail officers boidi egal commissions aad appoiut ments not recognized or approved by the President or Secretary of War. You wili please at once iujorm these gentiommm of the nullity of their apovintment, art res that no pay or allowances are issued to them until such time a= Commissions may be authorized by the Proajdent or Secretary of War. Tf any of them give the slightest trouble, you witl at ‘once arrest them and send them under guard out of tho limits of your department, iaforming them that if they return they will be in close confiuement, You will piesse @xamine into the legality of tne organization 4 to proclamations ¢ joint proclama- troops, and to cbtain the information requisite to enable me to decide whether this number can be diminished or the reverse. At least 5,000 men will be required to watch the river hence to Harper's Kerry and its vicinity; probably $,000 to guard the Lower Potomac As you are aware, «!! the information we have from spies, prisoners, &c., arees in showing that the enemy have a force on the THC NOt less than 150,000 strong, weil drilied and equipped, ably commanded and gtrongly intrenched, It is plan, therefore, that to secure success , or to render it reasouably certrin, the active army should not number Jess than 150,000 efficient troopa, with four hundred guns, unless some material change occurs in the force in front of us. ‘The requisite force for am advapeo movement by the Army of the Potomac may be thus estimated:— Afen, Guns.

Om the 10th of December, 1863, the de- fondant served notice on the plaintif’s attorney that on the 4th of January, 1864, he would preseat the presoat petition and apply for bis discharge On the presentation of tho petition it was opposed by tho plainutts counsel, O. L. Spilthorn and Joha B. Foger- ty, on the ground that tho defondavt had not beon three months in custody under the execution, = eee boy = atatute, The defondant’s counacl, ‘Smith and H. F. Avorill, ¢ ntonded that it ree not meces- nary that the defendant should have been three months charged in execution, but that” it was sufficient ‘that he should be ocbarged tn execution and in prison under that and the order of arrest for ‘that period, It ee ‘that no deotsion on this point bas boen re- ported. : Judgo Barnard stated that:he bad oxaminod the statute with great Cy had submitted it to some of bis as- sociatos, and aftor consultation they were unanimously of the epinion that where the execution ia for more than $500, a defendant applying for his discharge undor thin statute must havo been three months charged in execu tion before he can make this application; and that as the ofondant in this cage ia a0 charged for more thau $500, and had not been in custody unger tho execution for throe months when he presented the prosent petition, the application must be denied. .
