The Adiutent General Of the Army
has made his annual report to the
Secretary OfWar. Theactuals strength
of regiments in service on the SQth
of September was 1874 men,
besides there were 4,340 men more in
the Engineer, Ordnance aud other
branches Of che service. An unusu-
ally large humber of discharges have
been granted during the year on indi7
Vidual application, and these, with
the ordinary dischargesan casualties,
arerapidly diminishing the regiments,
except cavalry, which are necessarily
keptin force because Of Indian opera
tiOns.
It is stated that 4,5O0 men will be
discharged before New Year by reason
of the expiration OF their terms Of en-
listment. The number of desertions
last year were 2, roo less than the pre-
viOus year. The number of deseTters
arrested was nearly 1000 more, and
the proportion of losses by discretion to
the strength of the army is oOnsidera-
be less than last year. In order to
still further reduce the expenses and
strength of the military establishment
the detRchments at the recruiting de-
pots have been reduced as much as
possible, and schools of instruction
have been suspended. No recruiting
of any kind but for the Navy has been
going on since the end of lest july.
and there areOnly five station for re-
cruting in this arm Of service. Reg
imeufs on the Pacific coast have, as
far as was possible, to avoid the ex-
pense Of transportation. been suppli-
ed with recruits obtained in Caliior-
MIA. The strength Of all eolored regi-
ments in the service is nearly up TO
