should be mustered out of the service.

located. The information h. obtained war
ranted him in adding the Sd to the list of
New York regiments he would recommend

Gan. Corbin, he suggested. therefore, that
the 3D. 9th and 14th New York Regiments
be relieved from duty. These organizations
Will be mustered out soon as possible

thought, would be glad to leave the service,
now that the war Is over, and he intimated
that he might in a few days recommend
that further reduction be made In the
number of New York regiments still in the
service.
