regiments of mrantry. To thfl appropriation bill
paused March x, ikob, was attached a clause as fol
lows: "That there shall be no new oominmslons, no
promotion, and no cnliHtincnt In any infantry regi
ment until the total number of infantry regiments Is
reduced to twenty-live, and tho Hocretary of War is
hereby directed lo consolidate the Infantry regiments
as raplillr as the requirements of tho publlo service
and the reduction of the number of officers will per
mit." Hy the same act the period for enlistments
was changed from three to live years, but at
that date all the enlisted men of Infantry
were In for throe years, beginning mostly in 1hw and
), The .Secretary of War, Uoueral Scholleld,
wlih whom by law tho discretion rested, saw at
once that, were ho to wait for the number of onioer
to diminish to tho standard of twenty-five regi
ments by the slow procens of death and resignation,
all the enlisted men would be discharged by the ex
piration of their terms of service, and we would be
compelled to abandon many of the forts In the In
dian country, lie therefore very wisely resolved to
make the consolidation at onoe, so that new enlist
ments conld no made to replace the men discharged
by expiration of their terms of enlistment. Ills
orders prescribing the mode and manner of consoli
dation were made on the 10th of March, and have
been carried Into effect as fast as pos
sible considering the scattered condition of tho
troops. The colonels and field officers were choson
here, and announced In general orders from these
headquarters. The captains and lieutenants were
selected by the commanding general of the depart
ments In which the new regiments were to serve.
As a general rule, all other things being equal, the
senior of each grado was retained, provided he was
deemed qualified and was actually picsent for duty.
The recruiting service was resumed on the 28th of
April, and has supplied about a thousand recruits a
month, barely enough to replace discharges In the
more exposed garrisons of the Indian country.
The consolidation has thus been elVected at as
little cost as possible, and on principles as fair and
lust as the case admitted,

Balance of unattached oftlcers November 1 8i)
I herewith submit a table showing Hie organization
ns proposed : and assuming the number of regiments
to remain unchanged (viz., forty), and allowing a
maximum of seventy-live privates to each company,
It would give us for the line of the army two thou
sand one hundred and thirty-five (2ia."5) commissioned
ollicers, and forty-two thousand four hundred and
ninety (42,400) men. It Is well known that no army
can be kept up to its legal standard, and that two
thirds is as largo a portion as can be relied on for
actual service. Applying this ratio, we have for
actual service about twenty-nine thousand seven
hundred and llfty (29,780) ollicers and men a num
ber that no one acquainted with the subject can de
clare 10 oe aoovc me necessities or the country.
It also seems unjust to permit the whole blow of
reduction to fall upon the Infantry arm or service
alone. The cavalry and artillery should share In tho
consequences, and I therefore recommend, after
Congress has enacted the necessary laws, that the
I'n sident assemble a board or disinterested general
oftlcers, to whom shall be committed tho whole mat
ter or reduction and reorganization, with authority
to transfer unattached Inlantry otllcers to vacancies
that exist or may be created in the regiments of
cavalry, artillery, and Infantry alike, after which to
recommend for actual dishaudmcnt the ollicers
found in excess of the new organization. In spite
of whatever may be done, there will bo eases of
hardship and seeming Injustice, but It is all-Important
that the role that cuts oll all promotion should
be removed as soon as possible, ror no army can be
elllcient without holding out to the junior oitlcers
tho hope of promotion.
Ktafl efllie Army.
This term applies to those ollicers ami men who
administer to the wants or every military establish
ment, and are in our service classllled as Adjutants
Oeneral, inspectors-General, llureiiu or Military
Justice, Quartermasters, Commissaries, Surgeons,
Pay master's and Ordnance Departments, Corps or
Kngineers, Chler Signal oillcer, and Post Chaplains.
The names imply their respective duties, and the
organic luw or lsoO'llmits and prescribes their num
ber. The heads or these departments reside in
Washington, and submit annually a written report
or their operations ror the past year.
It so happened that I was Secretary of War dur
ing tho month of October, when by law these reports
were made in order to reuch the Public Printer by
the 1st of November, and I required all the annual
reports to be addressed, like all ot her military re
ports, to the Adjutant-General, for the perusal of
the General of the Army, who could make uso of
such information its they contained, and then lay
them beroro tho Secretary of War. This la, In my
judgment;, the course that should always be pur
aued though a dlileretit one has heretofore pre
vailedfor otherwise we would have the absurdity
of a General commanding the army with his chler
stair otllcers reporting to somebody else. The
General can have no objection to any amount of
labor being imposed npou these departments by
Congress, by tho President, or Secretary of War,
but all orders and instructions touching army
movements bylaw must pass through the General
or the Army, that he may know what Is transpiring.
(See section 2, Act or Congress approved March 2,
1807.)
This matter has already attracted tho attention of
Congress, ror I find a printed report on army orga
nization was made on the 20th or February, 1809, by
Mr. Garfield, rrom the Committee on Military AD'alrs,
to tho House or Kepreseutatives. This report, with
the testimony or the several otllcers therewith, con
tains much mat ter that Is worthy or the most serious
consideration. I need only refer to some or its con
clusions: "The stair departments or corps are, id
the opinion of the committee, too large in proportion
to the line of the army. There has been ror a long
time a tendency towards the multiplication of de
partments, increase or rank, and independence of
control in the stair that ought to be checked."
I heartily concur In these views, and, so lar as my
authority goes, will carry them out. It would be
absurd to hold General Schofield, or General Augur,
or General Hancock, responsible for atl'airs in their
most important departments, ir they have not tho
absolute command of their troops and of the stair
ollicers who minister to their necessities, if Con
gress will only enact the new Articles of War, all
hurtful distinctions heretofore existing will at once
cease, and all parts or the army will be put on the
same honorable rooting.
AUacellnneous,
In reference to the report of the Commissary
General, (ieneral Eaton, it Is proper that I should
say that the army has been well supplied with good
healthy loud, and at all the posts are kept supplies
of articles not embraced in the ration, for sale to
tne compauies anu tne omcers iauiinoa ar a price
sufficient to reimburse the department. This obvi
ates the necessity for sutlers, which are now pro
hibited by law, except as mere traders, having no
lien whatever ou the soldier's pay. The otllcers of
tho Subsistence Department are at depots, and the
actual issues to me troops are matte ny line onicers,
styled acting commissaries of subsistence, who re
ceive an extra compensation of twenty dollars a
month less the value of a ration. (See section 2, act
of Congress approved March 2, U27.)
Prom personal experience I doubt if it be practi
cable to commission the otllcers specially as such, or
to appoint permanent commissary sergeants, because
of tho constant changes of stations of our small
army ; but 1 think they should have a fair compensa
tion for the extra labor and risk imposed ou them
by these duties. I recommend tho repeal or the
Marino ot the second heation hereinbefore referred
to, und that the oftlcers acMng as quartermasters
and commissaries of posts receive ten dollars a
month where there are two companies or less, and
twenty dollars a month where the garrison Is more
tliun two companies.
Tne Knglneer Department has charge of the cou
Mvucllon of the permanent forts, tho Improvement
ol rivers, harbors, and various other duties imposed
by special laws. So much as refers to the forts con
cerns the army that must live in them and fight
them, and therefore iuus witiiui myoinctal province.
All else, tot directly allectlng the army, is noueof
111 V bllklness.
1 concur with General Dyer perrectly in his re
commendations that the small and surplus arsenals
at Koine, N. V., Champlaiu, Vu, Mount Vernon,
Ala., Appalachlcola, Fla., and Kayettevllle, N. C, bo
sold, as well as the captured establishments at
Shreveport, La. ; Marshall and Jciiersou, Texas, and
in Marion and Davis counties, Texas. Other small
arsenals might In due course or time be sold, until
we have, at central points, but a few great arsenals
and depots or powder, and these should be or the
most perfect kind, on the most extensive scale..
Our railroads can rapidly transfer from these arse
nals tho requisite stores at the times aud to the
places needed, on short notice.
in conclusion, I will invite tho attention or tho
proper authorities to the earnest recommendation or
(ieneral Thomas, made in his report, aud related
to me personally, that tho seal isluuds or Alaska, St.
Paul, und St. George be sold, artor due advertise
ment, to the highest bidder. Prom the nature or tho
fur seal, either or these Islands, held by a single
owner, will be a most valuable property; but if
thrown open to tho world they will soon become
valueless, because the seals will not resort to those
islands if they are hunted und killed without due
regard to their habits.
