But let us see how this Department is managed. The last re- port of the Secretary of War shows that there were on the lists, during the last year, ten thou- sand five hundred and thirty- eight men, which, owing to desertions, sickness, and deaths, will afford " an effective force of eight thousand five hundred. " I had made an estimate of the amount which it costs per man, according to the documents sub- mitted; but since making it, I have found the fol- lowing 1, from a speech delivered in the... Senate on the loth of April last, by Senator HUNTER, of Virginia, chairman of the Finance Committee; and as he has every opportunity for the most ac- curate information, and is known to the country by long and faithful service in Congress, I prefer giving his statement rather than my own. He eays: " I find, on comparing the expenditures for the yearend- | ing the 30th of June, 1845, and the year ending June, 1851, | that, in 1845, the whole expense under that head was $3, 155. 027; and in 1851, the expense of the Army proper was $8, 949, 000.
