The ot.iu].;:nics, both of artillery and infantry,
are proposed to be reduced ‘to '.l‘1cll' minimum
peace lormation, the former to consist of 64 pri-
vates and non-coniniis.-.ic-ned oflicers, and the lat-
t-.-.r ol'37, which will give to the aggregate of both
corps thus formed 6,316 non-commissioned (illi-

additional officer‘, or a single company, they may
be augiuentcd, should a just precaution, growing
out of our foreign relttiis-ns, render it necessary,
to 11,558; and, pending hostilities, by adding 288
ollicers. the two corps, on the maxitnum of the
war formation, may be raised to the respectable
force of-4,545 of the artillery, and 14,490 of the‘
infantry, malzing in the aggregate 19,035 oflicers,
non-commissioned oflicers, and privates. The
war organization, thus raised on the basis of the
peace establisliinenti, will bring into effective op-
eration the whole of the cxp'erien'cc and skill of
the latter, which, with attention, would in a short
period, be communicated to the new recruits, and
the olliccrs recently appointed, so as to constitute
a welldisciplined force.‘ Should the organization
of fullcnmpunies, on the contrary, be adopted for
the peace establishment, this process could be
carried to a very limited extent.

This was the fatal error at the commencement
of the late war, which cost the country so much
