THE VETERAN RESERVES. Yesterday morn
ing the Veteran Reserves stationed at Cairo,
being attachments of two regiments, the Sth
and 18th, ten companies in all, were para
ded at their quarters between nine and ten
O clock, in order to make known their choice
whether it was to remain in the service until the
expiration Of their terms of enlistment, or to be
mustered out now. Brig. Gen. 0. H. Hart,
Inspector General Of this Department, who has
been intrlsted with the execution Of the order
OF the War Department, No. 1856, read the Or
der to the troops, and then explained to each
company IN turn the design and effect of the
order, saying, that it offered them an opportu-
nifty to leave the service now, but if they did
not accept it now they would be expected to
serve until the full term of their enlistment
should expire. The names of all on the rolls
were called and the decision of each man
as given noted. When this had been
done. the rolls were all called through
again to make certain that there was no mis-.
understanding O: the 10 companies here, only
one officer expressed desire to quit the service
now, while only q few privates expressed a
desire to re,'faia in it, Those to be mustered
out will at once bc turned over to the mastering
officer the others will remain, subject to
orders. General Hart, yesterday, also in
