Gen. TaylOr's Force.

The Union publishes the following Official s,.
ment Of the United States forces in Merieo n,
under the immediate command Of General Ssoa
The calculation respecting Gen. Ta,lor's negeei,,
force in the field" may be somewhat above Tho -,
lual number Of men in his immediate command.
We have been permitted 10 examine staiemsn
prepared at the office Of the Adjutant General n
The army, showing, as nearly as can be aseer,ains1
the amount Of force left under the orders of Gen.
eIal Taylor, aner the Withdrawal Of part Of n,
army Of occupation for service under Gen Scol
The statement embraces the regular troops eh nu.
der the command OF General Taylor, together wub
the regiments Of volunteers called out in Noyembe,
1876, three Of which are known TO have slre,d,
arrived on the Rio Grande. There can be bot n.
tie. il any. doubt, indeed, that they all reached
Matamorss before the 23d inst.
According to this statement, the aggregate Of
force, both regular and volunteer under the order,
of Gen. Taylor, as shown upon the muster roll, !,
1870. OF these, 1872 are regular troops ssjl
are volunteers Of the levles Of May and June last;
making total Of 1914 men, exclusive Of The new
volunteer regiments. But ii is supposed that Of
these 1914, not more than about 5000 certain,
should be counted as effective. II is probable IN.
deed, that Of these troops in the field the effective
force may not exceed 1900. To this number aOv.
ever, must be added the new regiments Of yOIun.
ieers called out in November, ls46, amounting to
1886. or these, not more than 1000 eau probib,
be Teekoued as effective. The whole actual effect
i've force, therefore, under the command Of Genera
Taylor, is not far from IL, 900
The same statement exhibits also, so far as IS
known, the distribution Of these troops (eHclusire
of the new regimenis) along the line Of the Rio
Grande, from the Brazos TO Camargo, and thence
along the line Of operations TO Monterey and Aqua
