daon he makes meets the hearty approval of the
try 1T has always been difficult task for the Secretary
of War; taken from the civil walks Of life to satisfy the
demands of the officers of the army, and meet their pc
culiar notions. Hence we have always had loud com

every one, but it has crushed out all chickering's and
established harmony aud good feelings among all CLASSES
of officers. The wisdom of his policy, too, has Teen
fully recognised by the experienced veterans
Of little army while the nany Improvements he has
introduced into every branch of the military service
