Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1865-11-09

Old regular officers and graduates
of West Point have been laying their heads
together for some time past, and the result
has been the framing of bill which will
undoubtedly be brought before the next
Congress and probably worked through, in
asmuch as it is reasonable in every partic-
lar. It provides for standing army of
segsnty-fve thousand men, which will re-
quire the addition of twsnty.one regiments
of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, two
of artillery. Any increase in the staff de-
psrtments is not favored. The pay of gen.
eral officers is to be reduced, and all officers
to receive fixed salaries, as in the civil SER
vice. The scale of pay contemplated by
the bill is, for lieutenant general, five thous-
and dollars major general, four thousand
brigadier general, three thousand; colonel,
twenty-five hundred, down to second lieut.
snant, who Will receive one thousand dol.
