This order also includes the appropnti tions for thc current year, but these wer published several weeks ago, and we omi them now. Gen. Grant's Official Report. . The report of General Grant, which ac companied the message of thc President ti Congress, is a very voluminous document and covers detailed statistics of the report of thc chiefs of the several Bureaus of tin War Department. It is rendered as Sec retary of War ad interim, and also as Gen eral of the Army. We make the follow ing extracts of interest to our readers. Ai ter quoting the correspondence which oe curred between the President, Secretan Stanton and himself at the time of Mr Stanton's ejectment from the War office Gen. Grant says: Immediately after this exchange o notes, I assumed thc duties of thc offici assigned me, in addition to those of Genera of the anny. A long war had entailed upon thc arm3 practices of extravigancc totally unjitstifi able in times of peace; andas the increasi of the regular army since 1800 (now al most the entire army) is officered by mei whose anny experience does not go bael to that period, (and, therefore, they maj not know but their indulgences, at the ex pense of thc general Government, are al legitimate,) retrenchment was thc fi rsi subject to attract my attention. Durin?; the rebellion ambulances ami mounted or derlies al every headquarter* had como in to general use; and since the rebcllioi they have been continued, if not at e.vcrj post of a single company, at least general ly throughto.ut the army. A discontinu ance ol this evil was necessary, both tc thc discipline and efficiency of thc arni3 and to the relief of the treasury. Order: were, therefore, given both tor breaking ?1 up and seeing to its execution. The Bureau of Rebel Archives wa: transferred ti? the Adjutant-General's de partment, as was also thc Bureau for tin Exchange of Prisoners, etc., thus relieving from gover: ment employment a largi number of clerks, and several officers wilt had, to that date, been continued in ser vice. Supplying large annies for a period ol four years of hostilities necessary led to ai accumulation of all sorts of stores, far be youd the of wants our present establish ment formally years to come. Many of these articles were of a perishable nature; besides, being borne on thc returns of officers ac countable for them, they had to be stored and guarded, although thc cost of care pei annum might bc greater than their value. Under my directions all these surplus and useless stores in the quartermaster's de? partment, arc being sold, and thc balance distributed for issue to troops as they may be wanted. This releases a large number of storehouses for which rent is being paid, and also discharges a large humber of civil employees of government. During the hist summer and summer be? fore I caused inspections to be made ol the various routes of travel and. supply through the territory between the .Missou? ri river and the Pacific coast. The cost ot maintaining troops in that section w:is sn enormous, that I desired, if possible, to re? duce it. This I have been enabled to do, to some extent, from the information ob? tained by these inspections ; but for the present the military establish men t between the lines designated must, be maintained at a great cost per man. Thc completion ot the railroads to the Pacific will materially reduce this cost, as well as the number ot men to be kept there. Thc completion ri these roads will also go far toward a per? manent settlement of our Indian difficul? ties. There is good reason to hope that negotiations now going on with the hostile tribes of Indians will result, if not in a permanent peace, at least in a suspension ol" hostilities until the railroads are pushed through that portion of the Indian terri torv where they are giving the most trou? ble: RECONSTRUCTION A NI) THK DISTRICT COM? MA NUKI IS. By thc Act of Congress the ton South? ern States which have no representation in the national councils are divided into live military districts, each commanded by an officer of t he army of not less rank than Brigadier General. The powers of these commanders are both civil and military. So far as their military duties arc concern? ed they are under the same subordination to the General of the Army and Secretary of War that department commanders are. In their civil capacity they are entirely in? dependent of both thc General and Sccre ary, except in matters of removals, ap? pointment and detail, where thc General of the army has the same powers as have district commanders. It is but fair to the ' district commanders, however, to state i that, while they have been thus iudepen ! dent in their civil duties, there has not been one of them who would not yield to j a positively express wish, in regard to any ' matter ol'civil administration, from either I of thc officers placed over them by the ; Constitution or Acts of Congress, so long as that wish was in the direction of a prop? er execution of thc law for the execution '' of which they alone arc responsible. I am pleased to say that thc commanders of thc five military districts have executed their difficult trust faithfully and without bias from any judgment of their own as to the merit or demerit of the law they were ex? ecuting. the s-econ'd millitaky district. With regard to affairs in the Second Millitary District, embracing North Caro? lina and this State, General Grant, after noticing the change of Commanders, which had been made by the President, says: In order to secure a more efficient ad? ministration ot justice it was deemed nec? essary to place all sheriffs and other mun cipal officers under the immediate control of a military officer. Accordingly all such officers were directed to report to the pro? vost marshal general, and to make month? ly reports of "crimes committed'' and prisoners conHned." The reports of pris? oners confined has aided materially in de? tecting illegal imprisonments or punish? ments, and has enabled the District Com? mander to secure the release of many Un? ion men audireedmen..against whom much gross injustice had been committed. A bureau of civil affairs was established i to take charge of all matters pertaining to registration; and its duties were after-I wards extended to include all questions of protection to person or property arising under the laws of Congress. One hundred and seventy registration precincts were es? tablished in North Carolina, and one hull- . dredand nine in South Carolina. In North Carolina there were register? ed 403,000 whites, and 71,0.57 blacks;' and in South Carolina, 45.751 whites and 79,5S5 black. Registration proceeded very slowly on account of slowness of commu? nication with distant parts of the District. Of the appropriation made by Congress $54,802 87 have been expended, ami out? standing liabilities will exceed the balance on hand 8194,802.87. The present condition of the district is so satisfactory as to warrant the belief ?that after elections the number of millitary posts in both States can be diminished. - -4^. A Daw.v View ok a Railroad Car.? | Night passengers will appreciate the fol- ? lowing admirable sketch of the interior ot a car at day-break: Long before we hear the roar of wheels we see the glimmer of a glowing light.? Brighter and broader it opens like the cy- j clopodian unwinking eye, it is the head? light of the train. Then the steady jar, I trlien the mingled clank as of a thousand shaken chains, and the ears are here. 'All aboard1 and 'all right' fi.llow each other in rapid success, and we arc breathing the close and heavy air of a crowded dormito? ry. The car lamps have gone out disgus? ted, the litttle wakefulness of the sleepers has subsided, and the dim snoring outline of cloaks and shawls, and frightened look? ing heads, flecked here and there, like a troubled sea, with white, compose the landscape; while over all, like pendulums, swing plethoric carpet bags slowly to and fro, ami little satchels, brisk as mantle clocks, and bonnets made of nothing, dance up and down like blossoms in a ram?all timed to motion of the train. But the dim gray turns to an old eyed white, and the breathing bundles begin to stir; out of an egg-shaped package is hatched a woman, with locks disheveled, like Venus from the sea. A throe or two, and a rough form emer? ges from a cloak and shawl, and shakes itself awake. A shapeless mass turns out a man bearded like a pard. A pair of boots, thrust out like a bowsprit, go out of sight as the owner comes in view. One is soothing an irritated bat with gentle touches of his el bow, another pulling at his wilted collar. Disordered tresses are smoothed wiih has? ty touches of the hand, and crumpled sleeves persuaded into shape. One lady had learned her lesson from Grimalkin, and makes her toilet precisely like a eat. The cold, clear light of early morning is always trxing to human beauty ; there arc no hints to be borrowed, no softening shades to be worn, a plain, cold stare that looks one out of countenance. Hut, m a railroad train, the disorder is always ap? palling. If a face ever looks faded if is then; if the hair has any gray in it, it is sure to show; wrinkles are read, like a sign board, afar off. If there be discontent in the heart it comes into the mouth, and everybody h>.d<s like people alter a mas? querade,-or Richard, utter he became "hitu self again." - - - Faxny Fbux on Farmkks' Wives.? Fanny Fern is eloquent on the subject ol fanner's w ives. She says : Nexj. to being a minister's wife, I should dread being the wife of a farmer. Some times, indeed, the terms are synonymous. Kaising children and chickens, ad inliiii tiiiii, making butter, cheese, bread, aud the omnipresent pic; cutting, making, and mending the clothes for a whole house? hold, not to speak of doing their washing and ironing; taking care of the pigs and vegetable garden ; making winter apple sauce by the barrel, and pickling of myr? iads of cucumber; drying fruits and shrubs, butting all the twins through the measles, hooping cough, mumps, scarlet fever and chicken pox, besides keeping a perpetual fever id hot grease on the kitchen table, ill which is to float potatoes, carrots, onions and turnips for the ravenous maws of the farm hands. Now your farmer is a round, stalwart, comfortable animal. There is no baby wailing at his pantaloons wdiile he plows or makes fences, lie lies under the near? est tree and rests, or sleeps, when he can no longer work with profit. He comes in to his dinner with the appetite of a hyena and the digestion of a rhinoceros, and goes forth again to the hay field till supper.? There is his wile, and too often with the same frowsy head with which she rose in the morning, darting hither and thither for whatever is wanted, or helping tin- hun? gry children or the farm hands. Alter the supper is finished conies the dish washing, and milking, ami the thought for to-mor? row's breakfast; and then, perhaps, ali night she sleep with one eye open for a baby or a sick child, and rises again to pursue the same unrelieved treadmill, wearing round the next day. --. <? ? Oh! the bonnets of my girlhood? the kind I wore to school. I really thought them pretty?I must have been a fool? And yet I used to think myself on hats a jaunting miss; perhaps I was as fashion went?but what was that or this? Oh! the lovely little buckwheat cake?the charming little mat! it makes my head so level and so very, very flat. Oh ! sister's love is charming, as everybody knows, and a handsome cousin's love is nice (that is, I should suppose,) and the love ofa true lover is a love that cannot pall?but the love ofa new bonnet is the dearest love of I all. A Beautiful Extract;?The following eloquent paper on Time, is, we believe, from the pen of Pauldmg: I saw a temple reared by the hands of man, standing with its high pinnacle in the distant plain. The streams b^at about it ?the God of Nature had His thunder bolts against it, yet it stood as firm as adamant. Revelry was in its halls, the gay, the hap? py, the young, the beautiful were there. I returned, and lo! the temple was no more. Its high walls lay iu scattered ruin, moss and grass ?iew rankly there: and at the midnight hour the owl's long cry added to the solitude. The young and gay who had reveled there had passed away. I saw a child rejoicing in his youth, the idol of his mother and the pride of his father. I return and that child had he conic old- Trembling with the weight ot years, he stood the last of his generation, a stranger amidst all the desolation around him. I saw an old oak standing in its pride upon the mountain; the birds were carol? ing in its boughs. I returned and saw the oak was leafless and sapless, the winds woe playing at their past-time through the branches. "W ho is the destroyer !" said I to my guardian angel. " "It is Time," ?"fl he. "When the morn? ing stars sang together for joy over the new-made world hecoinin?nced his course; and when he has destroyed all that is beau? tiful on earth; plucked the sun in his sphere: veiled the moon in blood; yea, when He shall have rolled the Heavens and the earth away as a scroll, then shall an angel from the throne of Hod come forth, and with one foot upon the land, lift up His hand towards Heaven and swear, by Heaven's Eternal, Time was, but Time shall be im more."
