There seems to prevail among these per- sons 9p irresistible proclivity to hurl censure and sbuse upon every deva.tmet of the goverument, but eapecially rt that particular branch the members of which they know are not in & position to defend then selves The! Moreover, pertectly conscious of the fact thut the officers and evlixted men of the United States army are not permitted, like other citizens, to exercise the right of suffrage, and that from their remote stations on the frontier they are upable to influence tbe electors. Eogaged, as they continually are, in the arduoas duties devolving upon ‘bem in the extreme timits of our Territories, and varefully retramng from all participation in party strife, it appears to wd pepo bus reasonable to suppose that they should be exempt from the ceaso- er aed dastardly attacks of detaagogues and fac- tion! The broad sasertions which are, from time to time, with a great display of mock candor, put forth to the prejudice of the service, conswt for the most part of taliactes which they attempt to sustain with an accumulation of argument having its origin in their own perverted imaginations. * It haa frequently been said that a commission in the United States army in time of peace is an abse- Jute sineoure, and that the officers are drones, living in Inxury and eating the bread of i serve no other purpose than to dep ete the chest, repdering no equivalent service in ret! This sawe class of persons also take occ «sion fo pour out their political cant in vials of wrath upon the army, when a portion of it happens to be called upon to exevute the most onerous, thankless and dis- agreeable du‘y that can possibly devolve upon it— that of entorcing obedience to the laws of Congress and of sustaiwing the feperal authorities in the exe- | cotion of ther maudates. Instead of pursuing the course pointed out in the Constitution, a junto in one house of Congress un — dertakes to ‘ulunnate its indignation upon the chief magistrate or the nation, by inflicting a punishment | upon the army withholding money for its mainte- nance, and therovy virtually disbanding it. If Congress desired to perpetrate upon the West the most suicidal policy that the ingenuity of | man could possibly devire, I know of no more cer- tain method of se-uring that end than that of die banding the artoy; and [am by no means alone in the ovicion that it would retard the se‘slement of our vew Territories for many years. I furthermore verily believe that New Mexico and Wasuington Terrtories woxld, under the influence of such a law, become deppulated within two vears. Those nu- merous auj warlike tribes—the Navjoes and Apa- ches—buve for many years continued to wage a tice war upon the Lag: od of the former rritory, and there has n no ye axa fon in active hostilities since we came in pos- session of it, and that couatry would have been wholly untenabie for our r people without the protec- tion afforaed by a large military force. Ever since the termination of hostilities with | Mexico in 1848, and the antecedent annexation of the vast extent of territory ceded by the treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo to our tic, wild and unsettled domain, twelve-thi of the en- tire strength of our military force have been scattered along the froatiers from the mouth of the Rio Graude to the waters of Hudson's 3ay, and from the eastern sbores of the Atiantic to the western borders of our | omen upou the Pac'fis, embracing twenty-five ot latitade and fifty-seven of iongitade. | thousand ‘his little army of about thirteen men, which is required to defend a cordon of several thou- sand miles of irontier against one hundred thousand hostile savages, is cut ap into numerous small de- tatchments, some of which are fornd in eve: pact of our unsettled poesessions. Wherever the Indian roams over the vast wilds of the West, there may be seen a poition of this army giving protection to the emigrant in his toilsome pilgrimage over the | contineut, aud to the bardy aud adventurous pioneer | as be pusnes his fortunes into the wilderness, and ' with rapid strides ieads the way for the occupat | and settlement of pew Territories and States.

Every green tree and herb pecones dried | up, and vegetation aot only suspended, but up anc killed. which, of course, readers all attempts at cultivating tue sot! totally abortive. The dirastious effects of this climate are equally pperent upon ail or, lite, and the only part of the anima: creacion which flourishes here are snakes, tarantulas, ceutipedes, scorpions, Ac.

The meas tables at these outpost#, as may be conjectured, do not es under the weight of surpertiuous luxuries. ‘he bill ot fare from day to day might be stereo: typed, and would read something like tne follow: ‘ng: —“ The soldier's ration, the main ingredients of which in thix burning climate are rancid pork or bacon, or in lieu thereof, beef that has been kept from starvation upou the cacti of toe country, jut has never seen good grass or grain.” Potatoes are brought here ouce or twice in the season from New Orlvans, but as they are sold at the modera price of 16c. per ib. bat tew can afford to induige in this extravagance. hese, with a few stunted pamp- kins, constitute the only available vegetable coarse. The Se ee the troops in the vicissicudes necessarily attendant upon the life of a soldier has inured them to the bard knocks that have been aliuded wo, and they would not compiain if our gov ernment would provide them with comfortule quarters. The post before spoken of has now heen garrisoned nearly seven years; : during all this time the troops have had no other shelter from the fierce heat of the sun's rays in summer, or the searching chills of the terrific “nortbers” in winter, bat such aa is af- forded by flimay canvass tents.

The asen und borses are continually held in hand to take the trails of Indians, which are followed both night and day, under the guidance of expe- rienced trailers, who have made this the business ot their hives, and are able to follow the tracks of a horse almost as well at night as in the day. No fires are allowed or cooking dune so long as the trail is!'warm,” and parties are often obliged to ride a bundie¢ miles without halting, and frequently with- out finding a drop of water. Exposure to the capricious vicissitudes of climate in the extremes of our territorial possessions, up- wholesome diet, and the privations to which the ws my bas been subjected for the past ten years have caused much sickness anda large per centage of mortelity. Daring the fied five years the deaths among the troops on the frontiers have amounted to nearly six per cept per annum, or about double that of New York and most of.our c'ties,and this em- bracing a class of persons in the prime of manhood, who would, under ordinary circumstances, be the least hikely of all others to contribute to the aggre- | gate of mortality. In addition to this, many men have been discharged with impaired constitutions and infirmities induced by exposure and overwork. The military post before ailuced to is regarded as one of the most healtny of all those gar isoned by the army; yet I counted there upwards of seventy raves of officers and soldiers, all made within the rief period of six years, and these are doubtless tenanied by those who have died prematurely from the causes before mentioned. As | have already remarked, the officers and men are perfectly conscious of the fact that privations and hardships are necessary incidents to the pro- fession they have chosen, and they would be sub- mitted to without a murmur if they possessed an; gusrantee that they would receive justice from their ficunrare “apprebendsa, aod’ meat "gutcously lndidns are prehet most rig! yuniebea for =. merciless pal tent arbarities, many of the bewspapers e count teem with pene Ay effusions in behalf of the “poor,” “persecuted” and “noble” race of “red | men,” and with anatbemas upon the cruelty of the | offi who direct their chastisement.

Notwithstandiag this, he was 0 unfortunate as to nour the displea- sure of the Legislature of the State from which the regiment came, and its indignation exploded in a vote of censure hurled at the devoted head of the General. In our late war with Mexico the two descriptions of troops served together, and their relative merias were exhibited in strong contrast.
