In spite of the reticence of the rebel papers respecting the movements of Sherman, we are able to glean some intelligence from them on that subject. The Rich- mond papers of the 9th print correspondence between himaad the rebe! General Wade Hampton, the charao- teristic letter of General Sherman being dated ‘In the field, Feb. 24," and that of General Baipton, in reply, | Feb. 27. From the tone of General Sherman's letter, which | is im reterence to tho murdering of his foraging partics when taken prisoners by the rebels, be could not at that time have mot with the slightest reverse, After Stating that it has been officially reported to him that certain of his foraging parties had been murdered after capture and labelled “Death to all foragers,” be says, “I have ordered « similar number of prisoucre in our hands to be disposed of in like manner.’ He | also states ho bas a sufficient number of rebel prisoners in bis bands to retaliate for all such murders. The | rebel general, in reply, denies that ang orders have been | Given for the killing of prisoners after capture, and | threatons re-retaliation. A letter from Wilmington, dated the 6th tust., bf way | Of Philadelphia, states in the most positive terms thave moctings held throughout Prince Edward Island for the | purpose of discassing the question of confedera- tion confirms the impression thw it is now impossible to get the people or the Legislature to sanction the scheme, ‘The funcral ceremonies of the lato rebel General W. H. ©. Whiting took place yesterday afternoon at Trinity charch. A large number of persons were present; many, po doubt, being attracted by curlositx, The mother and sured that the war was made entirely for the Gulf States, and made because secession was necessary to certain property interests in those States. The Richmond papers now very calmly tell them all this. The trath thus comes out at present be- osuse the bill to put negroes in Lee’s army has just been defeated in the rebel Senate by the vote of the Gulf States, Virginia, against her befter interests and instincts, went with the Gulf States, “under a solemn compact” that all should unhesitatingly make every sacrifice that was necessary to achieve success. Vir- ginia has made freely all required sacrifices, She has shown a generous and unselfish devotion to this bad business that almost ennobles it But now the Gulf States are re- quired to make a sacrifice for the cause that is so essentially their cause alone, and at once they hesitate—they stand to count the cost, and they finally refuse. Thus the “compact of mutual support” is broken. “They by whom the first blow was stricken are the first to desert.” But is the compact broken for the sake of a princi- ple? No; there is no principle from one end to the other. The compact is broken by the Gulf States for the sake of that same property interest for which it was made—the niggers. Certain opinions prevailed at the North in 1860 with so much power that the slaveholders trembled for the future of slavery, and they mide the war to save it They made, then, this solemn compact of mutual support, Now opinions prevail in the border States that make the slaveholders tremble for slavery, and they break “the compact” just as they did the Union: The border States are as much their enemies now as we were then, and tion to that measure, is playing into eur hands. Ifof these two opposing parties at the South one is with us and the other not against us, who are our enemles, and whereabouts shall we find that great rebellion that John Bull se com dently assured us we could never put downt Rurosr or Tae Sacasrasy or Was—Evrnc- vivanzas oy Ovs Anwims.—We publish to- day the annual report of the Seoretary of War. This report has been withheld by the Secretary in order that he might receive, before sending it in, the report of the Lieutenant General; but as the Lieutenant Genoral still bas his whole time taken up by active operations, and cannot step tho fighting of this year to tell the story of last year, the Secretary has finally concluded to go it alone and give the best report be can rather than none at all. His report isa very meagre one, being without any but the barest reference to the grand operations of the past wonderful year. But the country has had the great facts of the year as they came up, and has doubtless digested them properly, and can do very well without any official statement of their occur- rence. Since there is eo Httle in this year’s history of the war that needs palliation, expla- nation or excuse, the loss of the annual sum- mary will be very little, felt by a practical people The business view of the various divisions of the sorvice and of the several bureaus of the department given by the Secretary is charac- terized by clearness and brevity. We are glad to learn that in compliance with the resolution of Congress the preparation for printing of the official reports of our battles is in active pro- gress, and that “all officers from whom such re- ports are due have been called upon for them.” By this means there will be filled up some very wide gaps in our official accounts of the war. The last annual report of the department informed us that neither General Burnside nor Hooker had reported their campaigns with the Army of the Potomac, and the absence of the reports of these officers from our chronicles would be severely felt by the future historians of the war. The succinct statement of facts given in this report of our army organization and equipment, furnishes full evidence that our four years of desperate trial has told us what war is, and tanght us how to. wage it. The report shows, moreover, that the country-has come up boldly and fairly to all the requirements of the gov- ernment, and that after four years of a struggle which the European writers call “exhaustive,” we are stronger than we were at the commence- ment, and that our armies are now really more effective than ever. Seeretary Stanton shows us a8 a great and vigorous people, just trained for war, and now for the first time conscious of our power.

That part is the set that immediately surrounds Davis, and whose thoughts see the light in the columns of the Richmond Sentineh In another column we give an article from the Sentinel of the 8th instant, which shows us that Davis has not yet got his eyes open to the fact that the cotton States and the border States are now absolutely on different eldes of the vital questjon of this great struggle, and that the cotton now uphold against the border States that side of the question that is most consistent with the original policy of those who made this war.

From those countless herds for half a century hundreds | of thousands every year have been slaught- { ered for their hides and tallow, there being no market for their beef. Thanks to beefeating John Bull for this discovery, that the beef of these enormous annual slaughters of South American cattle need no longer be given to the jaguars and vattures, Steamships, and modern appliances for the preservation of meats and vegetables will anggest at once to the “enterprising Yan- kee” a new, profitable and boundless field of | trade between this country and Venevueta, Brazil and the States along the Plata, the Para- na and the Paraguay. This terrible civil war of ours has made sad havoc among our cattle on both sides. They still abound in large droves upon the rich | plains of Texas; bat those supplies for the | present are limited to the people of Texas, and, with the close of the war, they will be wholty inadequate for some time to meet the demands of the exhausied Southern States cast of the Mississippi. It is, meantime, suffictont for us of the elty of New York to know that | while fresh beef costs our consumers from twenty-seven to forty cents per pound, bones | included, the South American jerked beef (all | meat) may be introduced and sold here at 8 profit of three, or, in “greenbacks,” say six | cents per pound. The London Lancet, as the result of a scien- | tiflo analysis of this South American boef, says that it is imported in three forms—the dried, | the moist and the pickled. “As it is chiefly the dried beet which reaches this. country,” saya the Lancet, “our observations will refer princi- pally to it. This kind cor ns about twice as much nitrogeneous matter as fs contained in fresh beef, and hence one pound of it may be said to be equal to two pounds of the latter. This considertion reduces the cost viriually from threepence to three half-pence (or three | cents) per pound.” At the close of its analysis | the Lancet, looking at the prices, truly says | this South American beef “constitutes a very valuable and much desired artlole of food, for \ the consumption of which an enormous field exists in this great metropolis (London) alone”— | a remark which will also apply to New York. We believe, then, that we have only to call | the attention o! our enterprising capitalists, merchants and speculators to this subject, to induce them to embark in this profitable busi- ness of the {mportation of South American beef. A New York steamer, or a dozen steamers for that matter, expressly prepared for an adven- ture of this kind, might coin money for years to come a6 fast aaa successful blockade runner; and the ploneers in this traffic will be numbered among our public benefactors. ‘The Rev.
