A BILL TO C0ETIEUE II SERVICE THOSE AL
READY IN THE SERVICE.
Mr.. Miles, from the Military esmmittee, re-
ported bill 60 continue in serviss all treops
now in fhe army Of The CenfAaerste States
Mr. Miles said that this was e aeasUdo Of ex-
trere imDoTtxnes, and demanded By the Bubhe
sxikeneies. Ths CONSUMPTION Law had made the
tie term of service fer three years. ara that time
would expire in April next, hence the necessity
Of some legislstioil. UEles5 ssn1s Law was
passed eentiauing these NOS in service, the
army would become disorgsnized. When OUT
brave soldiers knew that il gsg 20 the interest
Of the eouRtry to do this that the safety Of the
nation required it, be felt assured shat he weald
not hear one word Of discontent fren them.
As chairman Of the committee on Military
Affairs, hs was free to say that hs was entirely
opposed to Tesrganlzstion OF the ETzy. This
was his BositSR, and he was willing to take the
responsibility. He could appreciate the desire
of those under crnsl and tyTannical officers for
,cergasizssiOn ef the army; such desirs was
perfectly nstursl; but be bslisved that the re-
lrgsnizstian Of eur army at this time, and in
hs face ct the enemy, would lead to It's de1or-
slizssieu. He had ai8ays believed il ts have
sssn fatal error in tbe pojsy Of tbs Govern
nent 10 have granted 10 the army the right of
s.eleesing iis efieers. Hs believed that i vas
productive Of more mischief thsn gesd. In
his, as in all other things, his paTamosHt cbjees

Mr., Gsrtreli, Of Georges. offered an amend
nsnt 10 the bill, to the stfeet that companies,
snd regiments snail AsVs the ughs 70

Mr. FoOte offered aR amendment, il sub

neRts be suthonEsd to re-elees theiT ofhsszs. In
