nORE PRAISE OF THE CANTEEN.
PAYMASTER GENERAL BATES SAYS THE Eff
FECTs OF ITS ABOLITION HAVE
BEEN BAD.

Washington. Dec 4.-General Bates. paymaster
general of the army. has sent communication to
Adjutant General Corb!n in regard to the army
cantecn question. in which he says:
The claim Of the War Department in recommend
ing the restoration OF TIE canteen to the army
that during the operations OF the canteen law the
discipline OF the army superior. desertions

forfeitures hy court martials of
breaches OF military discipline resulting from the
of intoxicants by fin the service appears
10 be fully borne out by the records Of the pay
master generals office. These records show that
the payma OF the army collected from i5 coo
enlisted tregularsl during the last year in
which the canteen in force, account OF the
Soldiers Home dues. fines and forfetures. $462 6gs.
while during the fiscal year 1862. since the abolish
ment OF the canteen, there collected by pay
masters from about seventy thousand enlisted
men (reguars) the account S632 l25
The fact. therefore. appears indisputable by the
figures cited that the fine and forfeitures imposed
upon and collected from the enlisted men OF the
army vastly increased during the year sub
sequent TO the aboshment of the canteen. which
increase cannot be well attributed to any other
cause than the effects OF uncontrolled liquor
traffic in connection with military posts. which
traffic appears seriously to affect the discipline and
morals Of the army.
