THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF FORCE IN THE Wak DeraRTMENT.—No further ection has been taken by Secretary Rawlins in reter- ence to the reduction of force in the War De- partment or bureaus thereof, and it is not prob- able that the matter will be definitely settled before Wednesday or Thursday. As stated in THE Stak of Thursday last the reduction will not be so great as it was at first thought, on account of the necessity of having as many as Possible in order to keep up the public busi- ness. The recent order directing the resamp- tion of recruiting service has greatly augment- ed the business of the Adjutant General’: office,and should the force be reduced much the business im that office will get behindhand.
