oeoera, s;,erng,.s Report.

WASHING On, Nov T. The annual
report of General Sherman was given
to the public to-day. It is accompanied
by the reports of division commanders
and of General Sheridan and Inspector
General Tackett The report shows
that the generals staff consists of 573 of
ficers and 1 ,216 enlisted men. The army
proper consists of ten regiments of cav
airy, 431 officers and 1888 men; five reg
imepts of artillery, ESQ officers and ABB
men; twenty-five regiments Of infantry,
S77 officers and S,775 men. The total,
including available men detailed at vari-
Gus points, being 2,162 officers and % ,024
men, He says the experience of the
world has been that but CO per cent. of
an army is available for active service,
and as $500 a:e really needed for our
standing army he recommends that the
army be increased to $4,000 officers and
men. The army now, he says, is oY-
ar. worked and must continue SO unless
the number is increased. He shows the
Work of the year somewhat in deleil, and
arrives at the conclusion that there has
been a less number of Indian out
RACES in the year than at any other
time fof twenty years. Part of this is
due 10 the efficiency of tine army and
part to the advancement of civilization
considerable space TO the growth OF the
great west and says that now that the
transition period is past it IS the duty
OF the Cover 1ment 10 select certain
strategetic points for permanent army
posts ana construct comfortable build
ings on them so as not TO longer compel
the officers and men 10 live IN holes in
the ground, shantIes or green cotton
wood log nuts, as heretofore There
have been TAI trials by court martial
during the year. He recommends a
change in the systems OF cou:s martial
saying The present system was
established by custom in the
English army q hundred years ago,
where the habit was to dine at O'Clock
ard get drunk after dinner, which habit
is now happily done away with. TIE
number o. deSeTtioas during the year
listments, 7,G4t. Commenting On the
number of desertiODs he says many are
those of men who enlist in eastern
countries and after free transportation
west desert. knowing that little effort
will be made to bring them back or pun
ish them. The remedy, he thinks, is
better treatment of those who stay and
seyerer punishment of deserteTs. He
recommends an increase of pay of men
TO SIG per month, instead of $13 as now,
and that punishment for desertion be
MADE more severe, infiicting capital
punishment in aggravated cases as Isl
done in other countries. The general
condition of the army as to the personel
of its members is improved as has also
the genel al condition of the people of
the country at large. The recent rifle
contests have made great improvement
in the Workmanship of the men and he
recommends an appropriation for con-
tinuing the work. He recommends The
adoption of some plan by which the
regiments and officers can be given
definite terms in remote posts and be
then allowed TO return TO the comforts
of civilized life.

WELLINGTON, Nov. 6-James Bean,
the Texas desperado, who was brought
here some two weeks since and lodged
in Jail for having killed City Marshal
Brown at Caldwell, last summer, died
yesterday Sunday at two O'Clock, from
wounds received in his engagement with
the Texas authorities who captured him
near Decatur. He had twelve shot in
his body and two Winchester balls. The
post mortem to-day showed that his
death was directly due to No. shot
which had struck him in the forehead
and entering, had passed through the
brain and lodged in the base of the
skull. Though this shot had entered
the brain, and others passed through his
body, he lived for thirty days and talked
of recovery up to within twenty four
hours of his death, at which time he be-
came unconscious. He had been des-
perate man, having been engaged in
deeds OF atrOcIty since he was twenty
four years old, aud carried. besides the
wounds received at his capture, scars of
eight or ten other ball, etc.

leaked out that Gen. Butler came near
being drowned last Friday evening. He
came up the river on the G. L. Mather,
and just at the upper edge of the rapids,
four miles below this place, the steamer
ran upon rock and stuck there. 1t
was indispensable that Gen. Butler
should be at Lawrence at an early hour,
and small boat carried by the steamer
was brought alongside al d Gen. Butler,
Mayor Breen and Capt. Thomas took
places in it. The water was running
very swiftly and as soon as the boat was
loaded the current commenced to suck
it under the counter of the steamer. In
endeavoriDg TO push it clear the boat
was partially swamped and each effort
to right matters only made them worse.
The current was so swift an extraordi-
nary strong swimmer could not help
from being drawn into the rapids and
whirled down the river mile or two
before still water could be reached. For
tunatelY the deck hands after much eff
fort, succeeded in hauling each man on
board, the general escaping with bang
ed up hat and thorough wetting.

The meat production in the United
states could easily be absorbed 10 the ex-
tent offeeding 100. 100000 of population.

average farmer is content to sell his
grain, leaving the production of meat,

case of sheep, though not to the same
degree. But for some reason the Amer
lean farmer, and, indie I'd, the American
people, do not take kindly 10 mutton
The taste should be educated In
this objection. In all our billy country
sheep should be the most profitable of
farm stock, and particularly in the hill
region of the south, where early lambs
may be turned of at low cost, to be
eagerly bought in the northern market
So swine should be carried 10 the full

south.
