The President sent in TO Congress, to-day an INTEREST,"
message, which appears IN preceding columns. He
recommends with view TO vigorous and successful
prosecution oil the war; prompt action upon the propo
stion made BY the Secretary of War; o increase the
uar army, and to remedy existing defects in its organi-
zahon" lie recommends them to raise ten additional
regiments Of regular troops The President enforces the
peculiar popiety Of increasing the number OF officers
supply the places OF those who from age or other causes
are rendered incapable of active service in the field The
report from the Adutant General which we published in
our last paper enters into specifications about the num-
ero officers who not able TO render the most ef-
clent services to their country The President states
mat thirds of the whole number irregular field
officers are either permanently disabled or are neces-
sanly detached from their commands on other duties
The President makes another suggestion which is cacu-
lated to command the most respectful attention He
fers TO the miscellaneous composition of our forces now in
the field made upas they Of regulars and OF hume
rous volunteers; and he recommends more efficient or
ganization of our army by placing at their head
a general officer, who, of course, may be &C
quained with the qualities of both species of forces
and calculated to give the combination the greatest de-
gree OF efficiency. We have no doubt the proposition
will be duly and deliberately weighed, without regard to
individuals, and with single eye TO the more efficient
and successful organization of the whole army The
President regards this appointment as only provisional
to continue only during the war, and to be dispensed
with upon the reduction of the army peace establish
ment.
The message presses early action upon Congress in
carrying out these suggestions. Actuaed by desire to
prosecute the war with the greatest vigor and to obtain
prompt and honorable peace he desires Conrress 10 ,c
possible before the present favorable season
for military operations shall have passed away Action
is necessary here. Action is necessary Mexico San
ia Anna has repeated, his last letter to Gen TAYLOR
his nsoant demand for us to withdraw all our troops
from Mexico, and all squairons from her waters
And if an experienced statesman, who has studied the
Mexican character be correct in telling us to-day that
the Congress OF Mexico may repeat this demand as pre-
imnary to any negotiation for peace ought to put all
our meet the Crisis, and strike boldly for peace
