That is the expense of troops in the regular service a large proportion of whom are stationed at the forts and depots on the Atlantic, the Gulf, the Lakes, and the Mississippi river and its tributaries, at points accessible to steam boat navigation. But, sir, when you come to compare the expenses of the regulars with the volunteers, I shall insist that you compare them in like con ditions. It will not do to compare the expenses of the volunteers in Oregon, on the plains of the Walla-Walla, one ...hundred and fifty miles from our settle ments, protecting those settlements by their gallantry and conduct throughout the winter of 1855-'56, with the expenses of the regular troops lying in their rear, at this very time in garrison at the Dalles, the Cascades, and Vancouver. You must compare their expenses in the field with the expenses of the regulars in the field. Compare the expenses of the volunteers, in their campaign of the Walla- Walla, with the expenses of the regular service in its campaign of the Yaki- rna, and, my word for it, you will find that our expenses were the smallest, per man.
