it developed itself.

1t appears, by the annual report OF
the Secretary OF War, that there have
been mustered into the service of the
United States. during the past year, no
less than t,yenfy four thousand fire hun
died militia and rolunteers. We believe
the troops under General WAsBINeToN
during the Revolutionary war, frequent
y fell short Of this number. And yet
they have not been found sufficient, UNI
der this warlike Administration, to put
an end to hostilities with handful of
Indi ans. The Seminoles, mere rem
nant of a tribe. and being able to bring
into the field only few hundred war
riors. have stood out against all the force
that has been sent against them. and at
the end ola year and half, or there
abouts, the war appears as likely to last
as it did twelvemonth ago. In the
mean time, large proportion of the Of
ficers of the regular army have resigned
their commissions, and quit the service
III disgust. Among these are many in
dividuals of high reputation for expert
ence and conduct, whose places cannot
easily and readily be supplied. That
the War Department. in all its branches,
requires thorough ovethauling, we do
not doubt. An extensive and minute
examination into all its business, pecuni-
airy as well as military, should be made,
ami measures adopted TO place it upon
a more safe and profitable footing. That
multitude of abuses will be discovered
upon such an investigation. we do not
question and among them, if we are
not greatly mistaken, one important
ground of dissatisfaction will be traced to a
system of fayoritism, by which the rights
Of many meritorious officers have been
disregarded or sacrificed, and many un-
just instances OF promotion or preference
hate occurred. in which higher claims
have been overlooked and trifled with.
