A Long Service Man Indorses the s1s Bill.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
been reader of The National Tribune
for several years, and indorse the idea of
concentrating on service pension bill. Per-
sonally l would not be benefited, but
would like to see every man who is en-
titled on the roll. The great trouble is
too many of the comrades want something
that will benefit them. Pass the service
bill, and the other things will come in due
time.

EVIL OF NEW REGIMENTS.

The constant addition to the forces, of
new regiments, proved great element of
weakness to the armies. AS great evil
it may here be referred to.
Under every call. the first act of Gov
errors OF States was to ask the authority
TO raise new regiments. The desire of the
War Department was to secure recruits
for old regiments, and thus maintain their
organizations. The Secretary of War, in
order to a determined stand, secured, in
December, 1864, the views of the General
in-Chief and Army commanders. All
were in support of the opinion Of the Sec
rotary, relative to the necessity of recruits
for old regiments; but the pressure of the
States caused all, as OF former occasions,
TO yield, and 80 new regiments and 12J
new independent companies under the call
of Dec. 10, 1864. were added to the list
of organizations in service, n regiments
and 9S companies having been added I'M
der the call of July Is, 1864. All this at
a time when the Army of the Potomac,
alone, required S0,000 recruits to fill its
organizations to the maXimum-some 400,-
600 would have been necessary for all the
armies-and when experienced and gal
liant observation-disclosures and other regi-
mental officers, bearing the wounds of
many battles, could not receive promotion
owing to the depleted state of their CON-
mands. The subject was pointedly referred
to by the commander Of one of the armies
as follows:
1.-THE raising of new regiments is a
means desired to fill the quota and avoid
the draft.
'There is no intention, I suppose, that
these new regiments should serve the
United States, and their Colonies will
hardly come into contact with the army.
Still il it be the intention to put these
new regiments into the field, where they
would have command of older and better
regimental commanders, it is question for
the War Department to determine, and
not mine. I must take troops as they
