tance ofthe Flying Artillery to warrenl
the belief that one company is capable oil
doing as much execution ia an engagement
as can be accomplished by one regiment
of Infantry. The battles Of Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma called into practical
use this new and powerful destructive, and
established its character beyond Inc sna'
dow of doubt. The necessity of an in
crease oflight artillery having thus become

mept of our military establishment, Gen.
R, Jones, Adjutant General Of the Army.
invited the attention Of the Secretary OF
War 10 the subject, aud soon after had the
qualification of seeing his views embodied
IN an Ac, which passed at The late session
of Congress. This act provides for the
equipment of four additional corps of Light
Artillery, making eight in all aud also

these companies from their respective Lesi'
