The Gen. in Chief of the Army, having recently
completed tour of Military inspection. embracing
the frontier posts of the Union generally, South and
West of the Hudson River and the lower LAKES
feels himself called upon to disclose to the ARMY the
sentiments Of proud satisfaction with which he has

In vrnturing to notice any particular instances Of
proficiency in military discipline, instruction, or

every corps has presented the most satisfactory ey-
