sub-comu,ittees. The officers will be Chairman'
Vice-C uairmau, Re,ident Secretary, and Regent,
Corresponding aud Recording Secretary, ana

in alI, $4,000. For q years work, when

mission, unless proving too valuable TO be broken
up, in which case it might properly be adopted
by the General Government
The publication Of the final report Of the Commis-
sion could be arranged by subscription or private
enteprise. As the scheme OF this Commission may
appear imprncticOble from apprehended jealousieS'
either on the pat Of the Medical Bureau, or the
War Department it may be proper 10 State that
the Medical Bureau itself asked for the appointment
of the Commission, ard that i'll feeling exists or
will exist between the Commission and the War
Department or the Government.
The Commission grows out of no charges OF negl-
gence or incompetency in the War Department or
the Medical Bureau. The sudden increase OF vol
unteer forces has thrown impossible duties upon
II
| them, The Commission is chiefly concerned with
the volunteers who quite up 70 the regulars IN
respect TO sanitary regulations and customs 10
aid the Medical Bureau, without dsPlacirg H. or IN
any manner infringing upon its nights and duues, Is
! the object of the Commission. The embaTassmenis
ANTICIPATED from etiquette or official Jealousy have
all been overcome in advance, by frank aud cor
dial understanding, met with large and generous
feelings by the Bureau nnd the Department Of War
FOR FORTRESS MONROE.
