1112-. S/Icakcr--Tllc bill now before the House
has been so ably, and, I may add, so eloquently
discussed, by honorable gentlemen who have pre-
ceded me, and that discussion has been protracted
to such an extent, that, for prolonging it, I am
as the house evidently is, to take the final ques-
tion on the bill,I very reluctantly occupy any
portion ofits time. But the objections to the
bill, under consideration, which have been offer-
ed by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr.
Fuller) who has just resumed his seat, deserve a
_reply, and have determined me to put the pa-
tience of the house we further trial. Knowing,
however, that the honorable.gentleman from S.
Carolina, (Mr. Lowndes) wishes on this day to
present to the house his views in relation to the
financial condition of the country, I shall not en-
ter as fully into the various considerations con-
nected with this question, as. under different Cir.
cumstances, Ishonld lecl til;-‘posctl to do.
My honorable friend from Etlassachusetts alle-
ges that the bill under (‘.0n5l(lcl'.l'ltm ought not to
pass, because, by its provisions the corps of to-
pographical engineers, in his opinion a necessary
part of a peace establishment, will -not be retain-
ed in the service of the country.
Not being a military man, and making no pre-
tensions to practical military. science, I have, for
the purpose ofacting understandlngly on the sub-
ject, advertcd to ‘the military laws, and rules, and
regulations for the army,’ which a friend near
me has put into my hand. In this book the clu-
tics ofthc topographical engineers, and also those
required of the engineers, are particularly detail-
ed, and it will be distinctly seen that those duties
do not essentially differ in time of peace, By this
military code, which has been contpilctl under the
direction of the Department of VVar, for the
government of the army, the topogr'.q,hiL‘.al engi-
necrsarc required to make such surveys, and ex-
hibit such delineations of these as the command-
ing general shall direct, and make plans of all
military positions which the army may occupy,
and of their respective vicinities, indicating the
various roads, rivers, creeks, ravines, hills, woods,
and vilages, to be found therein. '
It‘:-om the same authority I learn that the du-
ties asslgnetl to ‘ the corps of engineers comprise
the direction of fortifications, military reconnoiter-
ings, embracing surveys of sites that may be de-
signaled for defence, with maps and plans of the
same. These reconnoiterings, surveys, maps,
and plans will be made from time to time by such
engineers as may be assigned to those duties.’
. Now,sir, will the honorable member from Mas-
sachusetts, or any other member, who may he

as a distinct clcp_attnie11t,
"sive tlilili-'.."".iS"”"Ul" that ic.orp:-z‘? They seem no"t to
liffer even in name from those required to be per-
formed by the corps of engineers. Are any du-
ties assigned to the former corps which may not
be properly and efficiently rliscliargcd by the lat-
tcr? Surveys, maps and plans, are to be made by
each, with the same purposes, and under precise-
ly the some regulations.
VVill it be pr:-:tcnde,cl, that the corps of engi-
neers are not adequate to the performance of
these duties ? If so, dismiss them from the pub-
lic service.‘ but their skill and ability will not be
quesuoned.
practical military science. Are they not then
sufficiently numerous_? This corps now consists
of one colonel, one assistant engineer, one lieu-
tenant colonel, two majors, six captains, six lieu-
tenants, and six second lieutenants, besides ‘non-
commissioned officers spd privates. Surely the
addition of the topographical engineers, drawing
a considerable amount of compensation, cannot
be necessary, nor even expedient in a time of
peace.
It ought not, however, to be concealed that in
a time of war, certain duties are assigned to the
topographical engineers, which, by existing reg-
ulations, are not required of the engineers.—--
Thcse are—‘ to accompany 'all recennoitering
parties sent out to obtain intelligence ofthe move-
ments ofthe enemy, or of his positions, he; to
\vritte_n notices of every thing worthy of observa-
$i_ion thereon; to keep avjournal of every day's
_movement when the army is _on march, noticing
the varieties of ground, of buildings, of culture
and distance, and the state of the roads between
given points, throughout the march oftho day,
and lastly, to exhibit the relative positions of the
contending armies on fields cfbattle, and the po-
sitions made, whether for attack or d-_-fence.’ But:
these duties seem to me more properly to belong
to the staff of the acting commander in chief of
the army, and some of them xiiltgltt be perform-
ed evcn by his private confidential secretary, with
more utility to the service than by a distinct corps.
lndeed, during the revolutionary war, these du-
ties were often performed by the commander in
chief in person. Besides, should the country no-
fortunately be again involved in a war, those du-
ties may be easily transferred to the corps of en-
gineers, who, I trust, will be found to possess suf-
ficient military science to keep a journal ofthe
movements of the army. I trust it will not be
seriously contended, that a tiistinct and separate
corps must be preserved and paid, for the pur-
pose of performing services so inconsiclerable.
But, sir, it is further objected. that the bill now‘
before the house proposes to abolish the ofhce of
adjutant and inspector general. VVhatcvcr may
be the importance of such a ‘department,’ it has
not the authority of long experience to sustain it.
I had supposed that the duties of an adjutant gen-
eral and an inspector general were entirely dis-
simular, and could not be well discharged by the
same person.
The adjutant general is the officer through
whom all orders from the Department of VVar are
communicated to the army, and from whom ‘ re-
ports of services performed, and returns intended
to exhibit the strength of the corps, are transm t.
ted to the same department. ‘ To this officer ig-
conscious an apology may he expected. Anxious,» "
