 The project for the establishment of Il fund for the support ef invalid officers, by taking a moderate and stated sum from tho pay of each officer, has occupied the atten- ton of tho army. Legislative provision IS deemed necessary to give effect to the measure, and is recommended itt this Ee- Fl port. A similar recommendation IS made
 with reference to the rank and file of the army. Besides the deduction of a small sum from the pay of each soldier for this purpose, the following askiIiary sources of revenue for this sum are designated, viz. i. fines assessed by courts martial :.=@s2s. the [ pay due to soldiers dying without heirs 3. Ia proportion of the port fund, which is pTins
 cipaly derived from . tax ell s,lslerss he experience of every year, the Sec~
 refary states, adds to the conviction that tho
 sooner the Indians now cast of the Missis- Aspp, migrate to the region west Of that river, the sooner they will be flaced in
 condition where they may physically and
 morally improve. In accordance with flisy
