When peace reigns, the army of the United States consists of 25,000 regular trnnna and the orcanized militia 'and national guard of the various states. In all there are 10,000,000 men available for military duty. At present the army consists of about 27,000 regulars and 80,000 volunteers. The regular army of the United States consists ol 25 regi ments of infantry, 10 regiments ot cav ftlrv. 7 rpciiiienta of artillery ana a cat tftlinn of encineer soldiers, the total number of enlisted men not to exceed Rhont 27.000. It is also provided with a corns of adiutaut cenerals, of inspector o-pripralH. of nuaitermasters. of subsist o " i . . ence. of ennineers and of ordnance, a medical corps, a corps of paymasters, a chief sinna! officer, a bureau of mili tary justice,, a number or chaplains, a force of Indian scouts, the officers on the retired list and the professors and cadets of tho United States Military academv. In command of tbeso aro nine general officers viz, threo major gen pr.ils mid six bricadirr cenerals. r- The constitution of the Unitea btates has given the power to congress to pro vide lor calling "lortu me mimia iu execute the lawn of tho Union, suppress insurrections aud repel invasions." Congress, by legislation, has given the resident tho authority to call iortn tne militia under certain exigencies, as has been frequently done, wnencaiiea into nr.tnal service of the United States, the militia roceive pay from the government and aro subject to the rules and articles nf war. The militia is therefore a part and parcel of the army of the United States, althouah in common use the term is limited to mean the regular army alone. There is another class of troops not belonging to tne regular army nor to the militia which has been raised by congress and employed by the government. These troops are Known as volunteer a." and 'must not be con founded with tho militia formed into volunteer companies. When a sudden emergency demands, these volunteers are employed by authority of congress. These organizations, when received Into actual servioe. are arranged Into brigades and divisions by the United States officers and are commanded Dy cnnpral officers who. with their staff or- floers, receive their appointments from tha United States. This makes an es sential difference between them and the tniHHa Anrl nlthonsh these organiza tions afurama the names of the states in which they volunteered for service, they are truly United States troops and not state troops, nor militia, .They are troops raised by congress, ana tne oom pany and regimental omcers are ap pointed by the governors oz states.
