COSTLY GENERALS.


IT seems from statement furnished a,
request, by the Secreary of War, to tho
Senate, that there are now five major Gen.
erals and seventeen Brigadier Generals who
are assigned to no duty and are doing moth .
ing. The five Major Generals are Mcclellan
Fremont, Mcdowell, Buell., and Cassius
NJ. Clay. To'this list, We suppose. may bo
added Gen. Butler and Gen. Pope makiuc
seven Major Generals. The total monthly
pay Of these officers is $3.1l5, or s37, $3.50
per annum. The aggregate monthly pav the
br'gad'er Generals out of service is 5,0e1..
81, or SCI ,09e per annum. Grand total rer
annum S98 478. OF the Brigadier Generals
mentioned by Mr.. Stanton, Gen. Harnev
has not been on duty since June. 1861,
loss to the Government Of over IS 600 in
money.
IN addition to all this, if we should calculate
the time that has been wasted and lost .wav
from duty, BY general officers uot enumer.
ated by Secretary Stanton. it would ab
pear that the publ, C strong box pays for Al
infinite deal ofservice due by the Military
