REPORT OF THE SECRET4EY OF
WAR

w y IL
This report is extremely interesting IN show
ing the enormous strength, III men and money,
welded by the United States, and the rapldlty
with which this force has been reduced and the
vast evnense curtailed. The military estimates
for the last fiscal year beng Solo, 30, 40,
and for the next $50. Sl4 46l, SO. The United
States forces in May, 1868, numbered one mil
lion FIVE hundred and sixteen men. OF these
EIGHT hundred thousand have been already
mustered out, and further reduction to fifty
thousand men proposed. p
A concise and powerful history Of the close OF
the war follows
Following the surrender of General Lee, or
ders were Immediately issued: First, To stop
all drafting and recruiting in the loyal States.
Second, TO curtail the purchase Of. military
stores. Third, TOreduce the numbers ofgeneral
and staff officers to the actual necessity OF the
service. Fourth, To remove all military re-
strictions on trade and commerce as far as
might be consistent with public safety.
The report calls for the establishment OF a
well-organized militia system. Also for the
establishment of homes and provisions for and
and relief for disabled soldiers
The estimates for military appropriations Tor
the next year are based upon standing force
of fifty thousand men, so organized as to admit
of an increase to eighty-two thousand with
out additional organizations. This force Is be-
ieyed to be sufficient for peace footing. The
Secretary thinks that, should a war occur, the
veterans already trained for war would form an
army with a QuicknesS determined only by the
"speed of the railroad and telegraph. lie
further says that IL foreign war would,ntensl-
fy national feeling and thousands once misled
would rejoice to.atOne for their error by rally
ing to the national flag The question of time
in which armies could be raised to quell insur-
rection or to repel invasion is therefore the only
question relative to troops.
The report shows that, on March 1st, 1868,
the United States forces numbered as follows:
Available force for duty, COZ, 59S
On detached service. l32, 53S
In field hospitals or unfit for duty, 35,62S

The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1865-04-27

New THEATRE.-There was well filled
house last night ct this popular place Of
amusement, TO witness the last representa-
ton Of Lady Lees Widowhood, which went
of in excellent style.
Tonight the programme is changed, and
most excellent bill is offered, consisting
Of the romantic drama entitled the Brigand
Queen. The evenings entertainment will
conclude with the side-splitting farce
known as the Stage Struck Barber.
Tomorrow night has been set apart by
the manager for a Benefit Of the charming
and efficient Actress, Mrs. NJ. W. Letting
we'll, who is one Of the most deserving ls-
dies on the Nashville stage; and we are
sure that the opportunity thus afforded to
the public TO manifest their appreciation Of
deserving and faithful actress, will not
be neglected. Let the testimonial be both
complimentary and substantial. She has
claims upon the public consideration for
her laithfulness and industry during her
connection with the Nashville stage, that
cannot be disregarded. II we find va
cant seat in the house on this occasion we
will regard it as a reproach upon the pub
lie, aside from the Professional and social
excellence Of the charming beneficiary.
The bin for the occasion will be unusually
attractive. We expect to see an ovation,
such as gratitude always offers as tribute to
sterling merit.
