The War Department.

The Secretary of War reports that while the
thorzed strength of the army is Is, o. the number
in July last was only 17,49S; and IL 900 of that
number were alone available for service in the field.
Small as it is the force has been required to man
about 100 permanent garriSons posts and camps,
scattered over an area of three millions of square
miles, and consequently it has been impossible to
give ample security to citizens our frontiers In
relation to the Indian depredatonS our Southern
and Mexican border, the Secretary hopes to make
such alteration in the disposition of the troops next
season as will prevent any repetition. Measures
have already been taken to subdue the Camanches
and Kiowas, and give protection to the routes from
Missouri and Arkansas to New Mexico. He recon-
mcnds that provision be made for retiring, disabled
and infirm officers The necessity for enlistng team
sters is urged as is the enlistment Of frontier citi
Zens for frontier service for SIX months TERMS the
men to provide their own horses. He speaks favor
ably Of the condition of the military academies, of
the experiments in brccch-loading guns and of the
use of cames for service in the interior The whole
cost of the army is put down at Sl3,09S 725 70,
which he thinks may be considerably reduced The
condition of affairs in Utah is such that there is
scarcely any necessity for troops there, and they
will probably soon be withdrawn. The report con-
cludes with brief account of John Browns attack
on Harper's Ferry.
