The Expenses Of The Merican Uw-Few
people have an idea of the vast expense the
Government is now at. The u. s. Paymas.
ter, last week. paid the Indian Volunteers at
N. Albany. $4,000 for the single item of
clothing, They were paid years clothing
in advance. This is according to the orders Of
the War epar,ment-though not precisely &C.
cording TO law. The law contemplates that
this distribution should be made according TO
the time of service. The Administrator, how
ever,assumes that The Volunteers will be t,celve
months in service. and accordingly gives then
years clothing.
This same advance will be made to all the
Regiments, and will amount to about million
of dollars. The transportation 10 the Rio
Grande will cost half million more. The
first months pay will be half million. So
that. by the time all the Volunteers will have
reached the Rio Grande, they will have
cost the Government three millions of dollars.
This is in addition TO the cost of the regular
Army and Navy.
If march be made through thousand
miles of the interior of Mexico. the cost will
be much greater in proportion Gin. Chron.
