The disbursements Ofthe Quarterms,ters De
partInent have been fourteen and a all miillon
OF dollars below those of the previous wear. The
General says--t have personal knowledge that
"the huts n which our troops are forced TO live
are in some places inferior TO what horses usual
" have in this city. Nearly all OF these posts are
temporary in their nature and character; but as
time progresses and roads become established,
We can choose the real strategic points, and at
these We should have good quarters tor troops,
and hope the Secretary will ask a liberal ap-
rropriaton, subject to his control, Tor the cree
ton OF the necessary barracks
General Sherman then refers briefly 10 the
Engineers report, and approves the following
general propositions for sea-coast ,iefenses:
I. The use of barbettee batteries Of eart,i, With
deep paTapet and a liberal number OF bomb
prOcf and magazine trayerses .. The use OF
the heaviest guns practicable, with carriages
admitting OF the gun being depressed below the
pazapet for loading. 3. An abundant supply Of
heavy mOrtars. 4. The use of torl5ed0es, 3.
En-anglements TO hold fleet leng enough Tor
wotiii fulfil all the requirements. He recon-
mends that the forts covering the cities of Port
land, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Ralti-
more, New Orleans, and San Francisco should
be pushed to completion soon as possible.
All other points might be neglected for the
present
Improved quarters :or officers and men in the
forts are recommended.
All our troops are supplied with brcecl-loatl-
ing snlah arms of the best kind, fully equal to
any in use 10y foreign armies.
In conclusion, General Sherman Invites atten

in 1860, having then been chosen by
a constituency hostile to him in pol
itics. In 1862 he became Colonel of
the 2Ist Iowa Infantry and served in
the West gallantIy until the battle of
Black River Bridge, fought by
Grant, where ne was very severely
wounded and was compelled 10 retire.
