Smi h removed. THE DismissaLs aT THR Wak DePaRt- MENT.—The recent order of the Secretary of War for the dismissal of ali general service And temporary clerks and other clerks em- ployed in the War Department and vatious bureans thereof not recognized by la tohave been altogether misconsirued, not the intention of the Secretary to make the order so sweeping in its character, but merely to dispense with the services of all clerks not actually required to keep up the public work. ‘The law authorizes the employment of 65 rega- Jar clerks in the Adjutant General's Office, but As this number is not sufficient to keep up the work, 151 enlisted men were detailed for service in that bureau, besides 65 clerks who were transferred from the Provost Marshal General's Office when that office was discon- tinued. The enlisied men have to be paid out of the general army appropriation bill, and the transferred ones out of the approp m to collect ana drifi recruits. In the Surgeon General's Office but sixteen clerks are author- ized by law, with whieb number it ss impossi- bie to keep up the business of the office, conse- quently eighty-one hospital stewards were de- tailed to duty in that office and paid out of the general army appropriation bil. As the ap- propriation bills have been cut down the S Tetary finds it necessary to dispense with the services of every onenot actually required and therefore called upon the bead of each bureau of the Department to furnish @ detailed report of ‘he number of clerks authorized, number em- Ployed,work upon which they are engaged,&c. ‘with a view to reduce the force im each office. He is now receiving those reports, and will in 8 few days designate the number to be dis- missed, wDich will not exceed one hundred when the entire work shall have been com- pleted; hence the statement that between three and four hundred were to be discharged was incorrect. In the Quartermaster General's Office a number of temporary clerks have beea employed for some time past, but as the Secre- tary finds no suthority for the employment of such clerks in that bureau, they will be dis- charged. The Uommissary General of Sub- sistence reports that bis force has been reduced to the number authorized by law,and the Pay- master General reports that his force bas been Teduced to five below the number authorized. In the Engineer's Office, Judge Advocate Generai’s and Ordnance offices the redaction ‘will not be very large. The offices most et- fected by the reduction will be the Adjatant (General's and Surgeon General's, bat an effort ‘will be made to retain as many as possible in each office, as they are all required to transact the public business. In the Surgeon Gene- ral's office, men who bave had some experience in the study of anatomy and pharmacy, are re- quired, the business being of such a mature as to require that knowledge, hence hospital stewards were detailed. The pay of these en- listed men, including commutation of fuel, rations, Xc., is about $1,000 per snnum, which 1S m excess of the amountallowed for the sap- port ot each soldier. All enlisted men whose services cam be dispensed with will be honor- able discharged the service and not assigned to any regiment, although the Department has the right todo so. The order designating the number in each bureau to be dismissed ‘Will be issned on Saturday or Monday, but as before staied, will noc exceed one hundred in all.
