understanding that it was to be 11441 only until he could

the let instant to give place to yourself, thineral W. W.
Ilulknay.
As the-re Gli.auges have in a meanureafroeted the course -
of events, I behave, 'oh will be pleased that I take a
'witle'r view of tbiThistury and condition of the army and
its administration than is ctuitcunary for the Cinumander
in-Chief. '
LINE 01" - rug ARMY.
for the purpose of Military rpspousibili!y dividedrn
meet, the domain of the United States is into
twelve departments and three dhdricts, each under the
command of-an experienced geberal officer, who by law
is invested with all the powers el the commanding
general of an army to the field ; and Is held responsible
for the discipline and maintenance of the troops, the pre-,
nervation of good order: so far as the military authority
extends', and for the care of all public property that be
longs to the army. The linilte and boUndaries of these
departments are better described by the map and tabu
lar statements herewith, than by any mere words 1 could
give.
In order te prompt action in case of need, and to place
aiwiLar Wilton , and similar interests under a common
commander, these departmenta are again gratip.. into
four mllitaryilivisions, which are commanded by the
four generals next la rank to the commander-in-chief.
kly the organic law of.bily 2d, 1866. as modified by that
of Nereid 1, 1869, the regillar array non , eonsiste of five'
regiments of artillery, ten of cavalry, te - enty-liee 'of In
fantry, a battalion of engineers, and the cadets of the
Military Acadentx s , These are all assigned to the sev
eral departmeets try regiment's or companies ; but each
division-commander can reinforce any point within his
command by transferring the troops from one of his de
partments to another.
As a general rule, the artille.ry.companics are die , '
tributed in the permanent forte along the seaboard from
Eastport,
from Lien - Diego , California, to Alaska, serving on: toot,
One company of each regiment is mounted and equipped
as light artillery ; one of these companies is stationed at
Washington. and the other four at Fort Riley; liansas,
as a school of instruction.. Another company of each
regiment fin ell. five) is stationed at Old Point Com
fort. as , a echool of instruction for heavy or reaceast
All the ten regiments of CHI airy are eert lug Teias,
the Indian country, the Pacific Territories. with the -
cept ion of a eiegle company heroin AVaeldietton which
Is the only cavairy east of the Missispi. The Avente
five regiments ot Infantry are distributed:;One regi
ment along the Northern frontier; one it Virginia, one
in Mississippi, and three in the Departikentof the tionth.
The rvenainiug nineteen are in Texas., the Indian coun
try; and Western States and Territorie s. Three companies of engineer troops are at. Willett's
Point. New York harbor, one at Jefferson - Barracks,
Miseouri, and one at Verbs Buena San Fran
cisco harbor, doing garrison duty, and more eepecially
designed to preserve the practical knowledge of held for-.
tilielopion, of mines. and of pontoon bridging,
The cadets are at the V. Point Acadeine.undergoieg
inrttnetions preparatory to being conuniseionwl as offi
cers of the army.
At thin moment we hare not a single regiment Gist
may be said to be in reserve. All 'are on duty, and I
have constant rails for more. troops, which canted be
aantcd. I beg, therefon", your earnest attention to
this matter, that Congress may be appealed to not to
diminish the military establishment any further, be
cause of the great extent of our country, the unsettled
character of a region measured north and comb, east
and west, by thousands of miles. the nomadlecharacter
of the Indians who inhabit this region. and the growing
necessity to afford greater protection to the roads that
traverse this region, and the mining and as
interests therein.
W bile the nation at large is at peace a state of quasi
war has existed. and continues to exist over one-half of
its extent. and the troops 'thereto are exposed to labors,
marches. fights and dangers that amount to war. Were
the troops withdrawn, or largely diminished in Texan,
the Indian country, in Arizona, Mew Mexico. Montana.
Idaho, in Alaska. as well at in some parts of our own
Southern States, I believe a condition of things would
result amountiog to anarchy.
For a history of the labors cud exposure of our troop.'
I must refer to the reports of the division and depart
•ment commanders herewith, and I hope the officers and
men composing the army will receive the assurance of
the country. to which they are fairly entitled, that their
services are appreciated. Many of the officers lucre been
reunited to`periorm, at great personal rick, the duties.
of Indian agents., governors, sheriffe. judges and in
erectors of election, Am..te duties foreign to their
military training. and they Give done this duty without
d murmur end with marked intelligence. The great
mass of them are banished to • dletant sections.'
and kept there with indifferent shelter, without any
of the associations and facilities of civilized life: and
many of them have famine. that they scarcely havethe
mean. to educate and provide for. filmy whole array
experience I have never knOwn the army officers elo poor.
and yet I believe they will continue cheerfully to endure .
this ntute of facts if they can see in the future any hope
of improvement. Ido not - understand they expect' more
pay. but they live in hope that our money will soon ap
proach the value of gold in its purchasing rapacity, and
I believ e that any diminution of pay would turn the
thoughts of every officer to a change of profession,
which would be extremely damaging to the army itself.
CONM)LIDATION.
fly the organie act of Jnly 23, ISGti, fixing the, peace
establishment. there was a provision for forty-five regi•
mints of infantry. In the appropriation bill passed
'arth 3, 1%0, was attached a clause as follows :—•• That
there shall bo no new COllllll62iOllE. no, promotions,
and no enlistments in any infantry regiment until tloi
total Number of infantry reo,inients is reducssl to twenty
tiv e and the Secretary of War hereby directed to con
solidate the infantry regiments as rapidly as the re
quirements of the public service and the reduction
of the number of officers will permit." By
the same act the period for enlistments wigs 01nel - sal from
three to five years. but at that date all the enlisted men
of infantry were in for three years, beginning mostly in
ISIO and 1607. The Secretary of IV sir. (ismer:ll Schofield,
:witty whom by law the discretion rested, saw at intro
that were he to wait for the number of ofticeraro dimin
ish to the standard of twenty-tire regiments by the , slow
process of death and resignation, all tits enlisted 111.`n
would be 41i-charged by the expiration of ' , their term
of service, and we would be catapulted to abandon
many of the forts in the Indian country, Ile, there
fore very wisely resolved to make the consolidation at
once, SO that new enlistmento could he made to replace
the nun discharged by expiration of their term or enlist
went: llie orders, prescribing the mode and manner of
consolidation, were made on the 10th or March, and have
been carried into effect as fast as possible; considering the,
scattered condition of the troops. The colonels and
Held officers were chosen here and announce 1 itigeneral
orders from these headquarters. The captaine and
lieutenants were selected I,y the couguanding-general
of the departments in which the new regirrient 1V , :r41
servo. As a general role, all other thing's being equal,
the smiler of each grade ‘7llll retained, provided he was
deemed Qualified and wag actually present for duty. The
recruiting service WiLIS renamed on the 11th of April, and
has supplied about a thousand recruits per month,
barely enough to replace the discharges to the u 410 ex
posed garrisons of the Indian country. The consolida•
tion has thus been effected at as little cost us possible,
and on principles as fair and just as the case admitted.

of Congress, for I find a . ,,printert report on army organi
sation wasniade on the 20th of February, 1869, by Mr.
Gerfield - Item the Committee on Military Affairs, to
the', Howie of Representatives. This report, with
the testirnopy of eeveral officers therewith, con
tains much matter OM is worthy of the rtioet• serious
consideration. *I need only refer to some of its conclu
sions: "The staff departments, or corps, are, in the
apittion of thacemmittee. too large in proportion to the
line of the army. 'There has been for a long time a ten
dency Meanie - Is the • multiplicatiou of departments, in
crease of reek, rind trelepend, nee of control in the staff,
that ought to be checked." "The staff departments( by
custom, rather the,' by legislation, have become almost
absolutely indePendent of generals commanding military
departments and diottietriarven of the general in-chief of
the army." "In the opinion of the ceminittee, all ofllcere
of tho staff deportment should be as directly
under the control and BUPOFI'biiOIII of, the gen•
era'. and the department commanders as . officers of the
line now are. This reform can be effected better by ad
ministration than by legislation ' tor this independence of
the staff departments ilads no warrant In lew, except in
regard to eugtheer officers, who are, by a clause in one
of the Articles of War. made subject only Co the order
of their superior s in their own , corps, and to
the l'resinent. I heartily concur in
thew views, and, so far as my authority
reel, will carry them out-. It would be absurd to hold
Gimetal Sehofield, or General Ateenr, or general Han
cock responsible for :claire In their most important de
partments, if they have not the absolute command of

tinction made in favor of the officers
of engineers by: the 'sixty-third (631 Article of
War Iwo been the canoe of a great 'deal of mischief ;
but when taken in consideration with. the ninety-eLeth
(96) article I ant satisfied that within " the line of their
immediate profession " tbey are as mush oubject to orders
ao tlfe' officers of the quartenitaster s Departmeat. To
place them ontlutY waselethe sphere of their professional
duties is, in my opinion, all that was ever intended by
the sixty-third article , as required the orders of the Pre
sident; vet the conclusion arrived at by the committee
is the ig:erpretation . which engineer officers them
selves have .usually placed on the law, anti, for
thin reason in the new articles of the law, the one
in
question is omitted altogether. For my part I have no
i+ll to command the EneineerCorporauy- other corps;
but if it forms a part of the regular army of the ;United
States,it is ail-important that the generals who command
the military dpartment.; and aro charged with the

OD of all army matters within their
limits ohould be able to avail thewtelves of this most
important breech of the army, ris-eive from them the
usual reports of the status of the natiortal dofences, &c.,
without asking it a'. a special favor, or applying to the .
President for his permisoton in each ease.
General Humphreys gives, in great detail. f lie condi

Nearly all the seacoast forts were planned at a time
when the eight-inch gun was the heaviest 'afloat, and
before rifled guns came into use. - Now, however, that
ordnance of the fifteen and twenty inch calibres, throw
ing a shot over one thousand pounds in 'weight with a
velocity of MUM feet per second, have come into general
use, the problem of resistance le entirely changed. It
is believed that casement forts, no matter how
reinforced with iron, ..are. not able to resist those
shot, and changed must be made to meet these changes
of wets. The engineer officers have carefully studied
this subject, and have made many moot valuable ex
periments; and, in connection with the officers - of ord
nance and artillery, they ehould continue therm experi

down five _general propositions for application to .all
