ans and privates, should be discharged from
the service of ths United States, from and
after the first day of May, ensaing the date
of the act, or as soon as circumstances might
permit. But it was soon found impractical
bic to obtain from all the military districts
the information which was requisite to do
justice TO the army. aud 10 the nation, in re-
ducing the military establishment from a
force Of thousand men, to force of
ten thousand men, so early as the first of

do not even yet permit the entire reduction
contemplated by the act of Congress, with
