THE ARMY.
The Express says:


Tho general desire of the members OF the House Is
to have army Of 900 men, organized III Regiments
OF 600 men, and each regiment to consist OF Ten co
panes EACH This Is reasonable economy ana al that
The public necessities require. An army OF oOv men
would be enough but all ought to be satisfied with one
OF s0O0O.'
If 80, 900 men "wOuld be enough" then
all ought not to "be satisfied with one OF
80, OOO;' since that would call on our taxpayers
for $50, 600, 900 per annum more than they need
or ought to pay. Our belief is that even 1000
are too many. We need FIVE or six regiments
of good, efficient cavalry, with few Of the best
mountain howitzers, for Indian service in our
wild territories and mountains; and we ought
to have as many good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. If
possible-n charge Of our various forts and
arsenals; but We have no more need of thirty
or forty regiments of infantry than wagon
has Of five wheels. Gentlemen in Congress
try to remember that our National expenses and
taxes are heavy, and that it is your interest aS
well as duty to reduce them wherever possible
