trements, are now manufactured in the United States. Of the Yankee army 13 per cent is now in hospitals. They are distributed in 182 general hospitals. The mortality this year has been less than the preceding one. During the year 1,755 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed, making 5,326 miles now in operation. Over these about 3,300 messages pass every day. The following is the Secretary's brief notice of the army of the Potomac. "The armies of Gen. Meade and Gen. Lee now occupy relatively nearly the same position as at the date of my last annual report. The numerous combats and engagements between detachments of these armies have been attended with perhaps equal loss on both sides, and without any material advantage to either." In the report of the Secretary of the Interior the only thing of interest that we find is the fact that 450 negroes who didn't want to go were shipped to Hayti, and that there is great prejudice in the free States at recei

cessary to prepare his commissariat for so important an undertaking; yet, granting this to be true, there was nothing to prevent an immediate assault upon Chattanooga, which, if properly conducted, could hardly have failed to be successful. But Gen. Lee made a similar mistake at Fredericksburg from a want of timely information as to the real condition of the enemy — a mistake which the most sagacious commander is liable to commit — and which, therefore, we should not be too hasty to criticise either in Gen. Bragg or Gen. Lee. Upon his arrival before Chattanooga, Gen. Bragg proceeded to invest the place on the south side of the Tennessee. He covered Lookout Mountain with his forces, and threw his pickets well down the river below the mountain. The opinion prevailed for some days that Rosecrans would attempt to evacuate the town by night, and, consequently, demonstrations were made in force on two successive nights to ascertain, it possible, the situation and designs of the enemy

Lee refused to surrender. Capt. Sturdivant then opened on them with his artillery, firing down the main street of the town, the Yankees being in position opposite the hotel. For a time the firing was sharp and rapid, the Yankees returning our fire from a field piece and from the gunboat 31st N. C. regiment. Lieut. P. was ambushed just as he ascended the hill at Scott's Factory, a ball striking him in the thigh, and evening the main artery. Capt. Lee, commander of the Yankee forces, succeeded in making his escape by swimming a creek while his guard were in pursuit of other game. A participant in the enga
