8 “TIE. RENTORCEMENTS openers General Sherman Before the Committee on Military Affairs. HOW TO OBTAIN RECRUITS. “The Highest Authority” Says No Troops Can Be Spared from the South. AIEEE Crook and Terry's Strength, Five Thousand Men. Wasmsorox, August 3, 1876 General Sherman and the Secretary of War were in Attendance this morning before the House Committee pu Miltary Affairs, in reference to the Senate bill now Delore that committee for the Increase of the cavalry fegiments for operations again-t the Sioux Indians, General Sherman being asked to give his opinion on the subject, said :— GENERAL SHERMAN’S OPINION. think it will be very prudent to provide pow in ad- Vance for at least 2,500 men, and I cannot conceive of Amore economical or betler method of doing it than the one proposed by the Senate, which ts simply to in- erease the number of private soldiers to that extent, By this plan we can reimlerce the regiments in the eld, so that each company of cavalry will cousist of 100 men. An increase of 2,600 men will enable us to fo that, and the estimates prepared and sent to the Benate will be amply suftloent for the purpose ‘The CHaimmaN—Have you any doubt as to the ability of our urmy now in front of the Sioux to whip them ? Geaeral Suzzwax—I have not a particle of doubt but thut if the Indians will stick - together Crook alone cau whip them, or Terry alone can whip them. Jointly, Mhere is no doubt of it, But te Indians may scatter, and probably will scatter, aud the mountainous charac- ter of the country will facuitate their concealing them- selves. They will divide up into small parties and that Will probubiy necessitate an increase of force over that Which Would be necessary to Whip them in the aggre- gate. It the Indians scatter then we will baye to divide Up into detachments, and each detachment is lable to eucounter the whole of these Indians if they should Assembie again. Mr, HuxLiur—What is your view in regard to the Material out of which this amcrease of force should be obtainea? General SuxRMas—We have got to trust in a great Measure to luck tor that. The pay of soldiers is very Bmuli compared With that paid jor labor aud thereiore as a matter of course We have got to take the best ma- terial We can get for that pay, but those who are in charge of the field of operations agasust the Sioux— Terry, Crook, Sheridan and others—are willing to risk that branch Of the proposition. ‘They are all in favor of increasing the strength of companies rather than of resurting Lo w call for volunteers. Mr. MacDovGaLt—Do you think that recruits can be got in time? General Suxnmay—Yes; I think that recruits will be tollected pretty rapidly now. THE PRESENT LAW, The Cuaimmax—Under a law passed by this Congress W is provided that ull cavalry regiments may be re- Bruited to 100 men ior cach company, und it is turer provided that this shall not increase the total aggregate Of tue army to more tha 25,00 enlisted men, General Sheridan by his letter appears to understand that this Increase upplies ouly to regiments ou the Texas frontier, General Suxkmax—You wili recollect that that was the tirst proposition suggested by a member from Yexas, General Mills, I think, That proposition ob- tained 4 good" deal of publicity, aud General Sheridan Was under the impression thut the bill as passed by Congress was passed on that basis. He was in error there, The vill, us passed, enables us to put luv mew Into each company of ull the ten cavalry regiments; butin trying to do that we would have tu veplete the Mniantry aud artillery companies im ull parts of tue United Staies so low as to almost make them valualess, When you get a compauy below thirty or forty men A ceases ulmost to be u military organization, The oflicers lose interest in their prolessiou, aud the cou- Kequence is that it you put the whole 12,000 meu into seh cavalry regiments the infantry regiments and the | artillery regiments wouid fall probably below twenty- | Auy gentiemaun who has | five men to the company. served in the army kuows that that takes the lite out of any tilitary orgenizauion. 1 would cail the atten- tion of the commitice to auotber branch ol the propo- sition, Ibis very them into ten regiments of cavalry, ive of artiliery and Swenty of iniantry im very fair proportion, but we have other detachments thar we fall pou-combatants, unavailable meu. You ail kuow that in a battle you can only bring about two-tuirds of ‘the best organization to tue front, and | would challenge any member of the commitiee lo say that he could Ke 10,000 men and bring 6,000 mto line of battie, fe bave 892 men Unassixued to aby regunent or Organization, engaged in the recruiting service. That may be in excess of propriety, but it seems wo be tho Fesult of experience, aud 1 certainly bave siriven, by all means in my power, to reduce that number. Then we haye 209 men charged as general service men; men who are employed ut the War Deparment, at the headquarters of the army and in the ditlerent mili- tary divis.ous and departments, Who are in tact clerks, and nothing clse, Tuen the Orduance Department, which never sends a man iuto the Held, as a watter of course has 355 wen enroliea aud charged against the Aygregaie of 25,000 men, Then we bave men at West Point to aid the young men there in their inst uc- Qiong, to take care of tueir horses, do police work, &e. Ever siuce the Revolutionary war we bave always kept from 100 to 200 men at West Point Thereiore Shere are 230 men, a number which is not regarded by She auchorities as excessiv if 1 could I would re- fuce it somewhat. Then we bave 226 hospital ewards. Youall know what they mean. ‘hey do ot luke muskets, Them we have 112 ordnance bergeants scattered along the seaboard mostly, Of course they cannot be brought into the field in the In- flan or aay other was.

This makes nearly 3,000 men put of your 25,000 ‘the remainder has not puly to engage im Indian wars, but has to lake care of an immense amount of — property, probably buadreds of millions of dollars worth, all of Which would be exposed to plunger and all the acci- dents of common property were not these men stationed Asthey are.

THE SIGNAL CORPS. Mr. Huataut—Do you mclude in thas list the Sigual Dorps? General Suenmax—No, sir; they are not charged Against the 25,000 men, The numver of men in the Army, xceording to our last return, 18 24,670. In try- Ing to keep within the 25,000 we hi as 4 matter of bourse, got tu keep weil within the standard, In the Beuntime discharges are gong on on account of expir- ation of service or of sickness, deaths, &c, so that I doubt whether we have to-day 16,000 men who are, properly speaking, soldiers iu tue line of baitie. INDIANS AND RAILROADS, There is another cousideraiiou, we cannot send the q@hole of our available force intd the Indian country, because the Indians occupy a central position with reier- ence to four very important Territories, viz; —Moutana, Dakota, Wyoming and Neviaska. The Sioux Indians have for years and years been depredaung upon these Territories, Then ihe Pacitic Rutiroad passes through Wyoming and Nebraska, over which we bave tavited truvel trom all parts of tue civilized glove, and if avy cusy to take 25,000 men aud divide | | | | Becident were to hapiyin to one of their trans tYoin | pe Todian tostilities and if people were murdered in them At would be a national disgrace and shame. Therefore Wo are compelled, while we are eugaged away up on the Yellowstone in fighting siting Bull «nd his cndians, to guard against the chances of cetac ther the Pacific Railroad or the scatwered’ sotuomente Bround about. Then, again, we have through the civil branch of the goveroment to provide tor tricudly Siwux Amounting to about 34,000 people ali told, of whom ong 6,000 are warriors, Altbough ‘these ure riendly and Christian Indiaus in one sense, they are suspicious ludians in another sense,’ aud we bi to watch them to sce that they do not go out themselves to join and reintoree the hostile Indians, apd that they do noi seud them our provisions abd’ stores, and tat such us come back Wounded or who desire to shuke hauds, or, as they term it, making peace again, shal. be arrested aud punisbed by the law of the ixud, Therefore we have jo keep a good many men siong the Missouri Liver, it was only yesteruay tat au indian agent away out im Montaua called for 200 wen, whom we could not give him, because we did not bave them, Woe feared was the Nez Perces, tue Bloods anu the Blackteet Indians would break out and commence hostilities Meus SUFiKIUg | | government of the against the vorthorn and western Uoruers of Moutana, | where they have no suidiers at all, and where we could bot get them without abandoning other country quite 43 valuable and qu te us inuel: Exposed. The Cuainxas—Witk the «utuority under the law as | [oF Fs opin it now stands, to fill up the cavairy regiments, can you ot, if pecessury for defence against the Sivux, wke men frow the intantry and artillery at diferent points, As it ts proposed to take them from the iuianery, to fill up the cavalry regiments on the Texas frontier General SikKMAN—I Vo not know that we have proposed todu that, We have proposed to send ail the recruits that we can get to those reguments on the ‘Vexas frontier—the Eighth and Teoth cavalry—but we have not transferred any from the artuiery oF iuiantry to those roximents, bor have we designed to do so, We Iutend to Hil them up by recruits just as we propose to do in this case, We can aod probably will overhiau! our artulery and inianiry compani Watu the consent of te men may transter some to tbe tavairy, Buta mau (rausterrea to tue cavairy without his consent would be a dead weight aud of Bo sors of Bervice. RRCRUITING IN TEXAS. Mr. MacDovoati—is there any recruiting station In Texus! Genera) Suxkuay—-Al cvery wilitary post in the | United S:ates there is a recruiting station, where some otticer is authorized to enlist We are very giad to enlist men mgbt on the spot. Mr Rwitty—As I understand the Senate bill pro- vides an cnlistment for the term of two years, THMME YEARS? RNLISTMRNTS. General Suxgaay—The War Department will under- take to discharge men the very moment that hostilities cease. The Appropriation bill is a sufficient limitation on the department. General St. Clair was deieated on that very proposition, He bad six months’ men and was forced into action and was defeated. Som the civil war, We were defeated because the terms of some Pe ya had expired and sotwe of them left the battle field Mr, Tekky—Wouid you not be likely to get a botter class of mep if they had the assurance that thcy would be discharged as soon as the emergency on which they entered the service terminated ? Geveral SuxaMan—lI think vot I think we will ges good men, who will whip Sitting Bull, and that is goo! enough. ar. KeiLLy—You would enlist them for three years? General SueRMaN—Yes, and we would retuce the ariwy to 25,000 the moment that hostilities cease, Mr. Teney—Would you not get a better class of men in the Territories if they bad assurance that, after the eney pussed, they would be discharged ? Geueral Suxkmax—I have po objection to the enlist- ment of meu for three yours or during the pending war; that could be placed in the bill as a clause. Mr. Terky—I can very weli understand that a young man would be willing to join for the emergency. General SuxgwaN—Ovr experience 1s that these men are not so gogd as they profess to be; they are a good deal better at’bragging than fighting RMCKUITS AND VOLUNTEERS. Mr. Terry—Would you not as soon have a volunteer force out there in Unis emergency us the kind of men whom you cun enlist in the regular service? Geveral Simamax—No, sir, 1 would not I would preier to have the regular troops, because, with old sergeants and about thirty standard inep ip each com- pany, you can engraft upon that company any ,kind of meu und in six months the new men are very good soldiers, But, iu the case of volunteers, olficers and non-commissioned officers are popular men, not men who have seen service. They are men who do bot know how to cook their provisions ~— or provide for themselves or their men, It takes about a year to muke @ good infantry soldier and about threo years to make a good cavalry soldier, if you take an organization tire; but if you tuke'a company of Ofty men, where wre are four sergeants, four corporals und two good otficers, aud add fiity men to it in a short time new men would be almost as god as old ones and they could hardly be told apart. They will learn trom each other a great deal better than they can be taught I would take a company of fifty old soldiers, such a8 we have on the frontier (than whom there aro mo better, for those men with Custer were just as good soldiers as men who had fought alter tour years’ of imstruction in civil war), and engraft upon ‘that company another fifty men, and in six weeks a skilled oflicer would tako them into battle with confidence, while ho would be a litle doubtiul with volunteers, unle-s we could get | some of the old troops, and that I don’t think we can do, as they are so scattered, Mr. Tkrxy—Have there not beon quite a number of | volunteer organizations who bave tendered their ser- vices to the government? General Suxnmax—Yee, sir, Mr. Trkky—Would you not feel entire confidence in those ment General Sngnman—No, sir, Most of them ure from cities like w York, Philadeipma, Pittsburg, Mem- phis and New Orieans, and, though they aro bruve wen and men of individual capacity, they would be like chil- dren in that Yellowstone country. Mr. Txrxy—In Indian wariare is it not more indi- vidual courage that is effectual than mere military or- ganization Y General Surruan—No, sir. Tho great trouble is (and you will find it recorded back as tar as our govern- ment goes) that our Indian failures have resulted trom excessive contidence and from the inability of our men to rally on the first appearance o1 danger Vid soldiers relly at once to their company’s standard, but new men scatter, each man seeking bis own individual safety, and you goon lose your command. Men may | be brave, but they have not force of habit to rally them to their company’s standard, and they will scatter avout in ravines, hollows and woods, and be killed in detail, We bad a regiment of Kansis troops in 1867, who Were commanded by Governor Crawford, good fronticrsmen, vut somebow oF other they uever came up. Custer led that column through the Kiowas and Cheyenne, but the voluntcers did not come up, They were good’ men, but somehow or other they were be- hind. Regular troops can be handled by their oflicers, but voluntecr officers must consult the feeliugs, dis- positions and wishes of their men. Mr. Coox—Regular troops are far lees expensive to the government? Genoral Saxnaax—Yos; in tho aggregate regular soldiers do not cost one-half as much as volunteers, be- cause you hever know when you are dove paying vol- unteers. Moutana troops were got up by @ Governor there utterly unauthorized, and yet I beheve that Con- gress is to-day paying these Montana claims, With the Tegular traops, when the payroll is paid and the men discharged, the thing is done, It seems to me that when such officers as ‘terry, Crook and Sheridan (who are charged with the responsibility for the result) are willing to take this cheap class of inferior men of whom you speak Congress should be satisfied. Mr. Frrxy—But Congress bas to exercise its own judgment. General SuermMax—Yes; bat is it not better to defer to the uigment of men ou the spot? as CuAInMAN—Is there an absolute nedessity for this? General Sugnmax—I think there is. Mr. MacDovGatt—You think that anybody can muke a soidier Who knows enough to obey orders? General SukkMax—If he has good legs and arm: @ goud digestion, and will obey orders, he will ce erally accowplish what the government wauts. Ihave geen a good many private soldiers within the last two years, in travelling in Texas and the Indtan country, apd l assure you tuat they area better class ot men than even I myseil hoped we could get at the present pay. THE PAY OF THX SOLDIER. Mr, Rxi.ty—Compared with the pay of laboring men the private soldier 18 very weil paid. neral SuxRMAN—Congress is perfectly competent of that, Congress says that 213 4 month is t. Wesay sotoo, We do not complain of the The soldiers of our army are better taken care pay. ‘of than the soldiers of any other ariny on the globe. The Cuatkway--Well, they ought to be. Geueral Suknwax—They are. Some of our regiments are down to 323, 362 and 382 men. If you were to take from them 100 men to make up these cavalry com- panies you would reduce their companies to twenty- four or twenty-five men, ‘The CHatRmaN—Are there not too many companies and regiments ior the number of men? General SHxR“aN—Yes, we have too many regiments Jor 25,000 men. THE TROOPS IN THE SOUTH. The Caarnmax—There were on the 8th of July 3,336 troops in the Southera States, Could nut reipforce- ments be made up from them? General SuxRMaN—Some have been drawn from Vir- ginia and some from North Carolina and Soath Caro- liga. There are now some 3,000 troops in the South outside of Texas. ‘as has moro troops than any other part of the United States. They aro along the Mexican border and the Indian border, but there are Rone within the settied parts of Texas, The CuatkMax—Does not the re-election of President Lerdo de Tejada and the departure of Cortina dimmish the danger in that quarter? General SHeRMAN—Cortina bas got back and is worse than ever. He ig at Matainoras, getting up anew revo- lution, The Mexican border is in a8 bad a slate us it can be. ‘The CuaigMax—Could the army in the Indian coun try be properly reinforced by the 3,000 men now lo- cated in the Southern States outside of Texas? General SuxeMax—I understand from the highest authority that these troops are needed there by mar. shals and revonue officers for maintaining the public peace, &c. That is as far as I havea right to go. Mr. Hortucr—Some are in garrison in fort along the vad. neral SuxkMAN—Yes, there are some 400 In forts and at Fortress Monroe, which is a school of artillery, and has really nothing more to do with the South tha with Maine, "There are five companics there extra recruits and officers for instruction in Ul olartilery. They are not subject (o the commanding general of the department, but to my orders. Mr. MacDovGaLi—ls there a surplus o1 oflicers in the army neral SuxRMax—There fs not, but a scarcity, espe- y of junior officers, There are pleaty of bigh ot- , DUE @ scarcity of young captains and leuten- Rututy—There are 451 mon in Mississippi ? neral Sixkway—Tbere ure only six companies there. Some men were sent up from Hoily Sprmgs to escape the yellow fever in Louisiana; they are merely cantoned there, Every Ume that we propose to with- draw the troops there is an effort made by Goveruors and members of Congress to keep them there. 1 do pot believe there are more than 200 men stationed in Missisaippi. I suppose thore 1s uo concvalment of the fact that the negroes down there are uneasy and rest- less They claim assistance and protection froin the hited States, and the orders are to afford 1 to them ; not to interfere with the State au- by any means, but to afford protection to any being that applies tor it ata garrisou, Mr, Cook—I do not think that the troops in Goorgia have been called on tn ten yeurs, General Suxxwax—I do not kuow that they have, but the people of Georgia are very giad to have a garrison at Atiants, The Cuainstan—Tho object of my inquiry was to as. certain Woetber troops could be spared from the South to reipforce the army 10 the Indian country. Geveral SuxkwAN—1 ain Compolied (o answer that they cannot be spared, because those wh with power judge their presence there necessary. | That decision to me is sacred and final, and goveros me. Mr. Fxxey—You do not, however, say that it is your judgment General SowRMaN—Lt is bardiy right to ask a solder for Lis opintou bebind his duty, be ought not to form THK THEM OF ENLISTERNT.

General SHxRMAN— ; 1 a@ man makes up bis wind p to Inquire as to Lhe term. W can get us many recruits for five years as we can to turee years or tor one year; the Indian Department now fs iv full active co-operation with us, and we are acting in perfect barmony; Crook ana Terry bave received at this time all the reinforcements that they have asked for or (bat we expect to give at this moiment.

Crook aud Terry aro both extremely careful, prudent, cautious mea, and will not attack these Indians in po | sition until they cam give them a tremendous whip- ing. * Mr. Txrry—What proportion of troops is infantry? General Suxnuaw—Crook must have got twenty-eight companies of cavairy that will average about sixty men each. He rust have 1,500 cavalry and about 1,000 in- faniry, ‘Terry must have 1,600 infantry and about 500 or 600 cavalry. He has the whole of the Seveuth cav- alry, which wo have reiniorced as much u@ we could, and tour conipantes of the Second cavalry. The Cuainman asked the Sceretary of War whether he desired to make any statement to the committee, but the Seeretary merely replied that he concurred ea- tirely in all that General Sherman had said, OBITUARY.

Mrs, Anna McGuire, aged torty-five, of No. 3 Hester street, left her home yesterday morning to go to the dispensary to obtain some medicine for her sick hus- band, While passing the southwest corner of Grand and Suflolk streets a telegraph pole fell, striking and instantly killing her. The pole was old and rotien, and, according to the neighbors’ accounts, has.been leaning against anotuer in a very dangerous position fur more tham two wecks, The body of the ‘uufortunate Woman Was removed to her home and Cor- oner Eickholf notified. This terrible accident, brought about by astounding remissuess on the part of the telegraph company, seems to have awakened them to a sudueu sense of re- sponsibility in the matter. Soon after the poor wo- man’s death the fatal pole was taken away, and six others in the vicinity cut down. A portion of ‘the pole next to that which killed Mrs. McGuire was brought to the HxkaLp ollice by a citizen residing im the ueighbor- hood, The wood was quite retten, portions of it read- ily crumbling in tho dogers under slight pressure, It is inconceivable that such poles could have been left tanding—s cousiant menaco to the lives of pass- ers by.
