Reduction of ths ANN.

Immediately following the cessation Of
hOstlities, when the insurgents manifested
q spirit Of entire scquiescence to those in
authority, we urged upon the General Gov
eminent the Importance OF reducing the
military forces 10 fifty thousand men, while
the State Governments, at the same time,
revised and perfected their militia systems.
This number Of Inen, il appeared 70 rs. was
amply sufficient 10 hold and defend the va
rious forts and points Of importance, while
the militia, reorganized and rendered eff
cient, could be relied upon for any emer-
gency.
We are now gratifed to find that the War
Authorities take substantially the same
view Of the case, and instead Of maintain
ing a huge standing army through the
South, rs Thaddeus Stevens advised, arc
rapidly reducing the number Of soldiers,
until fifty thousand wiz soon constitute the
limit. The Secretary Of War informs US, in
his report that on the first Of May last,
there was an aggregate Of one million five
hundred thousand and sixteen officers and
men in all arms Of the service. Of this
number eight hundred thousand nine hun
drcd and sixty-three have been paid of
mustered out, aud disbanded up 70 the
present time This reduction is stl 10
70 on until there is left only a Stand
ing force Of fifty thousand men, 80 organ
lied as TO admit Of an increase, without ad-
ditional organization, To eighty-six thousand
SIX hundred troops Of al arms The Sec
reiary adds that the establishment OF well
o gained militia system is demanded, aud
at the same time assures Us that this subject
has already received careful consideration,
and that after a conference with the appro-
pirate Congressional committees a practical
nati5nel system viii be sgreed uIon.
AS one Of the primary results ol this great
reduction in the number of men, we fnd
that the estimate for military expenses for
the coming fiscal year are thirty eight mil
lions of dollars, in place OF one thousand and
one millions expended last yesr, or three
hundred aud seven millions this.
As we have repeaiedly affirmed, we should,
by outstanding cur resources IN men and
material, prepare for war during the time
Of peace, instead Of conf rming to the mon
archical idea which necessitates the main
tenance Of a large standing army for the
event OF hostlities.
In the language Of Mr.. Beecher, we
learned by two bitter years that war could
not be carried on on peace principles.
In less time our authorities hsve fortunately
come % understand that "a successful and
enduring peace cannot be maintained on
war principles --NeI0 York C0mme-r.dL.

ton lett. he VIII let his ''rod' stsv where il

ting into worse scrape than he now is.
Upon several occasions since he dOnned the
regimeutsls, he valienlly removed il from
ITS preparatory brine, and each time he came
TO griei-the "rod" being wrested from his
clumsy hand and mercilessly laid upon his
own back History fails 10 record q single
instance in which his weapon did not,
like the boomerang, return to punish
