THE ARMY.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

DEPARTMENT OF WAR, November 29, 1833.

To the President of the United States.

SIR In submitting to you, agreeably to your instructions, a report of the operatious and administration of this department for the past year, it affords me pleasure to bear my testimony to the zeal and ability of the respective officers at the head of the various bureaus, and of those employed to aid them in the performance of the important functions committed to this branch of the Executive Government

A reference to the accompanying reports and documents will show the state of the army, as well with relation to its numbers, and their position and condition, as to the progress of the various works entrusted to them, and the collection and preservation of the necessary materiel for offensive and defensive operations which is indispensable to the safety of the country. The principle, which governed the reduction of the army fron a war to a peace establishment, has been found, by subsequent experience, to be salutary; and its practical operation has been to form a body of offices, equal in all the requisites of military knowledge and efficiency to those of any other service, which is known to us. The army is so organized, that should an increase become necessary, in consequence of those conflicts of interest and opinion to which all nations in their intercourse with one another have been exposed, and from which we have no right to expect perpetual exemption, any reasonable addition may be made to it, without disturbing its arrangement; and the professional knowledge and experience embodied in it will be immediately felt in the new corps, and will identify them with those previously in service. The military experience of other countries, as well as of our own, has shown that the system of extension, by which new and old troops are incorporated together, is much better calculated to produce discipline and subordination, and thus to meet the exigencies of a service which does not allow large bodies of troops to be kept up in time of peace, than the organization of separate corps, composed of inexperienced officers and men, with all their military knowledge to acquire, and all their military habits to form. And this is more particularly true of the staff departments of an army, upon which its movement, its subsistence, and the economy of its administration must principally depend. The system established in our service is equally creditable to the army, and satisfactory to the Government, and may be applied to any necessary extent, without any diminution of that economy and efficiency which have here tofore marked its operation.

Much advantage is anticipated from the operation of the act, passed at the last session of Congress, for improving the condition of the army Already its effects have been felt, as the subjoined documents will show, in the decrease of desertion, and in the increase of the business of re cruiting. The addition to the pay of the rank and file, the reduct on of the term of service, and the improved condition of the non-commissioned officers, promise important meliorations in the character of the army.
